Charolette Fox, Chairperson Herman D. Parker, Director of Community Services R: CSC/minutesOl0807 4 ITEM NO.2 --~ CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: Community Services Commission // Herman Parker, Director of Community servi~ February 12, 2007 SUBJECT: Temecula Community Center Expansion Master Plan PREPARED BY: Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission review and approve the Temecula Community Center Expansion conceptual Master Plan. BACKGROUND: On November 22, 2005, the Community Services District Board of Directors awarded a design contract to Meyer and Associates for the preparation of a master plan for an expansion at the Temecula Community Center (TCC). Several years ago the City acquired the TCC and began offering recreational and human services at that location. Adjacent to Rotary Park and the Boys and Girls Club, this venue provides a variety of needed services to the surrounding residents. A few years ago, the City was able to provide office space within the center to Safe Alternatives for Everyone (SAF.E.) in order for this organization to offer their human services to the community. In order to increase programs and services to a growing community, the City Council approved a capital improvement project in the Capital Improvement Program to expand the facilities at the TCC location. Meyer and Associates was seiected as the architect for the project through a Request for Proposal process. A project committee comprised of Council Member Roberts, Council Member Comerchero, SAF.E. representatives and staff have worked together on the conceptual design for the expansion. Through the process, the project committee determined that the best design would provide a separate structure to be located within the current parking lot ofthe TCC to house the S.A.F.E. staff and activities. This will provide an easily identifiable presence and separate recreational uses from SAF.E. activities. The proposed 3,653sf building will provide a reception lobby, programming space, support office space, and restrooms. The space previously used by S.A.F.E in the original TCC building will become available for City programs and activities. During the design process, the City acquired two historic buildings in Old Town; the Escallier house and barn. The structures are located on property that will ultimately be used for,other purposes. With a desire to preserve these two buildings, it was determined that they could be relocated to the southern-most part of the TCC parking lot. Meyer and Associates has worked with the design committee to create a Master Plan of the TCC Expansion that will provide a facility for SAF.E., the relocation of the two buildings, parking for all user groups and facilities, an additional driveway to enhance circulation, and landscaping.

BACKGROUND: Over the past several months the Community Services Department and our design consultant RJM Design Group, along with Council Members Jeff Comerchero and Maryanne Edwards, and Community Services Commission members, have worked with the residents of Redhawk to design the proposed' park improvements for all four Redhawk park sites. This process also included the Redhawk Dog Park location. Through a series of meetings with community members and a community wide workshop attended by several members of the Redhawk community, the architect developed the proposed improvements for the above mentioned facilities. A few of the proposed improvements at the various park sites within the Redhawk Community include a restroom facility, ADA improvements, turf and irrigation modifications, playground upgrades, picnic benches, shade structures, half-basketball courts, with a dog park at Redhawk Community Park comprised of three versatile chambers. The dog park improvements would also include water fountains, picnic. tables, ornate fencing, landscaping and concrete walkways. It is envisioned these improvements will be phased in over several years. Tonight, Mr. Bob Mue~ing of RJM Design Group is here to present the conceptual master plan for the improvements at the four Redhawk park sites and the Redhawk Dog Park for the Commission's review. If approved, this item will move forward to the Board of Directors to request their approval.
