AGENDA REPORT - Laserfiche WebLink

do with the current Century House grounds if the building was no longer the centerpiece of the site. Existing Facility Conditions As stated above, the City of Pleasanton retained the services of Jeff Katz Architecture (JKA) to provide a comprehensive analysis of the building and determine structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues. Existing floor plans of the first and second floor are included as Attachment 2 to this report. In addition to the JKA assessment, staff consulted with the Building and Safety Division to understand minimum building and accessibility requirements. Not all elements of the facility would need to be upgraded to current building code requirements due to the historic nature of the facility and staff would continue to coordinate with the Building and Safety Division depending on the outcome of the Century House Master Plan. The existing facility has been vacant since 2014 due to numerous building and life safety code deficiencies. The existing ramp and main building entrance are non- compliant, as well as the existing restrooms. Many of the existing interior door openings are not adequate in width, clear floor space or level. The existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems require replacement to bring the facility up to operational, safety and code compliant standards. The existing structural system exhibits many deficiencies, including dry rot and material deficiencies throughout, inadequate connections of building framing to foundations and other miscellaneous deficiencies. The existing exterior siding, trim, roof, windows, deck material and deck railings/stairs would require major repair and/or replacement. The existing interior stairway is non- compliant and if retained as-is, would limit the use of the second floor to staff use only. The existing interior surfaces, flooring, trim, hardware, light fixtures, etc. would require repair and/or replacement. A more detailed assessment of the interior finishes and materials would be completed at a later date during the design and development phase of the project. An existing floor plan is included as Attachment 4 to this report. Interior Renovation Preferred Option Staff presented four interior renovation options to the PRC on June 11, 2020. All options assumed the "kitchen" would be relocated to an outbuilding in the form of a catering kitchen, as discussed at the October 10, 2019, PRC meeting. Due to the existing deteriorated condition of the "staff' room on the first floor, it also assumed the "staff' room would be demolished and the previous functions would be incorporated elsewhere on the first floor. Other assumptions included: establishing the bridal room on the first floor in the "living room" with the fireplace; reconstructing the restrooms to provide a minimum of one accessible restroom (gender neutral); reconstructing the stairway to meet minimum building code requirements; reconstructing the exterior ramp to meet minimum accessibility requirements; and replacement of damaged deck material and railings. An elevator would not be required to access the second floor as long as equivalent programs and services would be provided on the first floor. Page 8 of 9
