have been included in the Public Works Traffic Maintenance operating budget since 2021-22.
Background Information:
The Adaptive Traffic Control System is a system of traffic signals in which real-time traffic data is used to
continuously optimize traffic signal timing to reduce delays and fuel consumption. Phase I consisted of 25
traffic signals on S 320' Street between 8' Avenue S -and S Peasley Canyon Road at S 321" Street and all
signals in City Center, including two traffic signals owned by WSDOT and two owned by King County.
Phase 2 added 18 more intersections south of S 324' Street and east of I" Avenue S, including three traffic
signals owned by WSDOT. Phase 3 added 13 more intersections north of S 312' Street and east of V
Avenue S, one of which is owned by King County. The following map shows the extent of the project.
For continuity of traffic signal coordination, the project includes three traffic signals owned by King
County, all of which abut City limits. These are:
• S 320' Street / S Peasley Canyon Road at Military Road S;
• S 3215t Street at S Peasley Canyon Road; and
• 31" Avenue Sat Military Road S.
As part of this agreement, the City is committing to operate these traffic signals and install and maintain
equipment associated with the adaptive system at these signalized intersections at the City's expense. In
addition, the City is committing to the following:
• Using King County standards for setting various signal timing parameters (which are similar to
the City's);
■ Providing access to the signal management system for the County to monitor signal operations.

TO: City Council
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
EJ Walsh, P.E., Public Works Director
FROM: Desired S. Winkler, P.E., Deputy Public Works Director'Dok
SUBJECT: Contract Increase Concrete Beveling Services — Trip Hazard Removal Contract
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Funding for the Concrete Beveling Services — Trip Hazard Removal contract is included in the
proposed Streets Maintenance fund (101) budget for 2023/2024. Streets maintenance funding
consists of general funds (utility tax, sales tax, property tax, etc.) and Motor Vehicle Excise Tax
(MVET).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The city has responsibilities for sidewalk maintenance in large portions of the City. The City has
on -going maintenance related to uneven sidewalk surfaces that create trip hazards. These trip
hazards are primarily a result of tree roots heaving the panels. One way to correct these trip
hazards is to saw or grind the "high" side of the panel to be even with the adjacent panel.
From the inspections conducted as part of our Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition
Plan, we estimate over $350,000 of trip hazard removal back log on our arterial sidewalk system.
Although city staff has the capabilities of completing this type of work, and will continue to do
so, the backlog is too much and the assistance of a contractor is needed. The city is prioritizing
the arterials in areas of highest pedestrian usage.
In early 2021, the city requested bids from all small works contractors listed under "Concrete
Sidewalk — Trip Hazard Removal" category. One bid was received. Precision Concrete Cutting,
Inc. was the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder. The original contract was executed in the
amount of $100,000 and was approved to be amended to increase the contract to $250,000. Task
orders completed to date include: SW Campus Drive/S 348th between 7t"Ave SW and Enchanted
Parkway; and Pacific Hwy from S 356th to S 312t", SW/S 320th between 21" Avenue SW and
23`d Ave S, and 1 st Avenue between S 356t" and S 312t". Over 1,800 trip hazards were removed.
Staff proposes to increase this public works maintenance contract by $100,000 for a new not -to -
exceed amount of $350,000.00. Scope and schedule will be agreed upon via task orders with
work completed no later than December 31, 2023.

CITY OF FEDERAL WAY
MEMORANDUM
DATE: 7 November 2022
TO: Land Use & Transportation Committee
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Brian Davis, CD Director
Keith Niven, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: TC-3 RFP
_Financial Impacts:
The cost to the City for issuing the Request for Proposals is the advertising cost that will be borne by
the Community Development Department and is part of the currently -approved, departmental budget.
Future costs relating to development will be considered as part of future development agreement
discussions.
Backp_round Information:
The City purchased the old Target building east of the PAEC and just north of the Transit Center (see
map) in 2014. For the past eight years, the building has sat empty.
The Federal Way community has made the City
Center a significant part of its future vision. As
documented in the city's Comprehensive Plan,
participants in community workshops helped to
develop a vision for Federal Way's future. A
keystone of that vision is an attractive, multi-
faceted City Center providing the setting for
commercial, residential, recreational,
entertainment and civic activities.
Of the land owned by the City, approximately
eight acres were envisioned for a hotel and
potential development opportunities for office,
medical office, higher educational facilities, retail
and restaurants, along with arts and entertainment
venues.
In addition, there was envisioned a smaller
component for office or institutional space (Town
Center III).
The vision for this property further evolved since 2014 to include opportunities for the development of
the following: a conference hotel including conference and ballroom space, along with a bar and
restaurant space adjacent to the performing arts and convention facility. Additionally, the City is
looking for office, specialty retail, market rate housing, space for arts and entertainment including
galleries, studios, museums, educational/classroom space, specifically for a culinary arts institute which
will support the performing arts and conference facility. Also included is a childcare facility.
In early 2022, the City entered into a contract with VIA Architecture to develop a land plan for the
property. Through 2022 community outreach, staff heard much support for housing, a public market or
community building; and, a relocated City Hall was identified by many.
For eight years there has been a lot of talk about the potential and purpose for property and what could
or should be developed on it. To move this conversation forward, the City needed to have a clearer
vision for what it wants built here. The City entered into a contract with VIA Architecture and Leland
Consulting to help develop a plan that reflected the interests of the community and represented the
reality of the development market in the City. That plan is Attachment 2 of the Agenda Bill.
Next Steps
Now that the City has a preferred plan and once it is endorsed by the City Council, the next step would
be for the City to seek out potential developers to bring this plan to life. The initial step would be to
issue an RFP to solicit development proposals and the process would conclude with the City executing
development agreements for the specific development proposals. See process flow chart below:

ATTACHMENT 3 — Development Feasibility Evaluation
Federal Way Town Center
Development Feasibility Evaluation
Date October 2022
To Keith Niven, City of Federal Way
Kokila Lochan, VIA/Perkins Eastman
From Brian Vanneman and Andrew Oliver, Leland Consulting Group
Purpose
This document evaluates the feasibility of developing the "Town Center 3" site as shown in the
preferred development concept prepared by VIA/Perkins Eastman (VIA) in collaboration with City
staff during the summer and fall of 2022.
Leland Consulting Group (LCG) is a part of the VIA consulting team, which was engaged by the City
in 2022 to help to plan the TO site. LCG provides market analysis, financial analysis, and related
services for mixed -use real estate projects throughout the US West. This analysis assumes that
subsurface environmental and geotechnical conditions at the site are manageable and do not present
developers with extraordinary costs, and that zoning will allow the preferred alternative to be built as
drawn by VIA.
The Preferred Alternative
The preferred development alternative includes multiple blocks of "vertical development" (buildings)
set within a series of streets and sidewalks, and framing a central, south -facing public plaza. The public
plaza could accommodate a Community Center or other public building, as well as festivals and events.
This mixed -use town center would be built on about an approximately 7-acre, City -owned site, adjacent
to the City's Performing Arts Entertainment Center (PAEC).
With the exception of the Community Center building(s) proposed for the central south -facing site,
most or all of the buildings would be financed and built by private developers, and therefore it is
important for the City to understand the willingness of developers to build the buildings shown in
VIA's renderings. The City expects to actively market development of the site to potential developers
in 2022 or 2023.
The private development is expected to include a mix of uses, including housing, commercial space
(retail shops, restaurants, etc.), a hotel, office space, and potentially other uses.
Downtown Federal Way
The context within which the TO development will take place will be of great interest to potential
developers and is of course of interest to the City because the City's ultimate goal is a great downtown.
The TO site is expected to build off past downtown revitalization efforts, and also be a catalyst for
future development on nearby sites. Downtown Federal Way confers both benefits and challenges to the
TO site.
There are multiple positive land uses taking place near the TO site, including the PAEC, grand
staircase, Town Square Park, a grid of moderate -traffic streets, lodging (La Quinta), recent senior
housing, grocery store (Trader Joes), eclectic multi -ethnic dining, and Commons Mall. Sound Transit's
transit center, imminent light rail service, parking lot, and planned development on Sound Transit-
owned properties south of the transit center, are also generally positive. The Tacoma Link light rail line
provides a major differentiator for the TC3 site and will cause developers to give special consideration
to opportunities here —there are simply a limited number of sites that are connected to the regional light
rail system. In LCG's experience, the Town Square Park is a strong positive and seems to be embraced
by families in Federal Way, who can be seen picnicking, enjoying the fountain, and playing in good
weather. The activity in Town Square Park is one foundation upon which a successful downtown
district can be built, since people attract people. The broad mix of surrounding uses means that future
residents, visitors, or employees at the TC3 site would truly be at the heart of a walkable mixed -use
district, where many goods, services, and experiences are within a 5-minute walk or drive.
In addition, the TC3 site and surrounding areas are part of a federal- and state -designated Opportunity
Zone, which allows those who invest in certain real estate projects and businesses in the area to defer
and reduce their federal income taxes. This will also be a positive for some developers who have taken
the organizational and legal steps to prepare to make investments in Opportunity Zones.
Perceived safety issues and market momentum are two concerns. LCG's interviews indicate that some
developers perceive that the area can be unsafe at some times of day, with particular concerns about the
transit center. In addition, the lack of new market -rate housing and office development in the area
means that developers have few "comps" (nearby comparable projects) to use to demonstrate that their
projects are likely to be feasible.
Housing
Housing is a key land use that is shown in the preferred alternative. Most or all of the housing projects
shown in the alternative would be mixed -use projects, meaning that the buildings would feature ground
floor commercial spaces.
This combination of residents living in upper floors and commercial spaces at the ground floor is a key
building block for most town centers and urban districts; residents support ground floor businesses
financially and their "eyes on the street" create districts that are safer. Active ground floors are critical
to creating town center districts that are lively, active, useful, interesting, and will attract residents of
the entire city and beyond to spend time in.
It will be critical for Federal Way to encourage significant levels of housing development at the Town
Center. In LCG's view, the TC3 should have at least several hundred units, and without this amount, it
will probably be difficult to attract private developers or make the other parts of the project work.
Housing is the land use that most developers will be most interested in building at the site and is the
land use that can generate the most land -value revenue for the City via land sales or land leases.
The City can also use significant housing development to "pull in" other desired development types,
particularly a variety of ground floor commercial spaces, and potentially lodging and office space.
Therefore, while LCG views housing as a desirable use for the site, it is also a tool that can help the
City to attract other uses.
Housing Market. Developers will be interested in housing at this site for reasons that are well -
publicized: the Puget Sound region has an extremely strong housing market, with housing demand
consistently exceeding supply.
This is visible in long-term trends in increasing cost of both rental and for -sale housing in the King and
Pierce Counties, and the historically apartment low vacancy rate (3.5% as of mid-2022). The region's
population and employment base have consistently grown in recent decades and are projected to
continue to grow in coming decades. Housing production has not kept up with this growth, and
therefore, most developers and planners expect ongoing demand for housing of all types. In addition,
light rail and bus transit are beneficial for housing development. Residents will have the capacity to ride
high quality transit to jobs, education, air travel, and other major destinations.
Despite long-term trends being favorable for housing development, the rapid rise in interest rates and
construction costs over the past few years have made development more financially challenging for
developers.
Apartments. The type of housing development that will be most feasible at the TO site at a significant
scale is rental apartments of between three and seven stories, with some ground floor commercial space.
This is the type of housing that has consistently been built at other town centers and transit -oriented
development sites throughout the region, including at Lynnwood, Bothell, Woodinville, Northgate,
Burien Towne Square, Kent, Auburn, Tacoma, Point Ruston, and University Place Town Center. It is a
proven development type that developers and lenders are comfortable with and generates an acceptable
return on investment under the right conditions.
Despite our belief that mix -use apartment projects should comprise a significant share of the TO
development program, these projects will be somewhat "pioneering" at the TO site, since there have
been no new market rate apartment projects built in Federal Way in the last decade (one such project is
planned or under construction now, more than a mile to the southwest of the TO site). Developers rely
heavily on successful nearby "comps" (comparable projects) to demonstrate to investors that apartment
rents are adequate to cover the costs of development, and these are limited in Federal Way.
Parking is a key consideration in the feasibility of town -center apartment development —and
development of all kinds in town centers. This is because town center projects typically require
structured (above ground) or underground parking, whereas typical projects built in the suburbs can be
surface parked. A single structured parking space costs tens of thousands of dollars per space more than
a surface parking space, and therefore adversely affect the feasibility of development. For this reason,
LCG recommends that the City not require that housing projects include underground parking —it is
simply too expensive given the apartment rents that are likely achievable in this location. Parking for
housing projects should largely be provided in above -ground structures.
The City should also allow relatively low parking ratios at the TO site (e.g., one space per unit or
perhaps even less, depending on the unit size), because of proximity of transit, walkable nature of the
district, and cost of parking construction. The City should also allow shared parking between land uses
(e.g., apartment residents parking at PAEC parking when not in use for events) for similar reasons.
Enabling flexibility and creative parking solutions at the TO site will make more mixed -use
development feasible.
In order to incentivize housing development at the site, the City should also ensure that its existing
multifamily tax exemption (MFTE) program is offered at the site. This tax incentive compensates
developers for the higher costs of town center development including high quality materials, ground
floor commercial space, parking, high quality surrounding streetscapes, and other higher costs that arise
from building on compact sites.
Townhomes. Some townhomes (attached housing of two to three stories and 1,500 to 2,500 square
feet) may be feasible at the TO site. These townhomes could be owner -occupied or rental. If built,
there are likely to be far fewer townhomes (potentially several dozen units) than rental apartments
(hundreds of units). While townhomes can be attractive parts of Town Center projects such as
Downtown Bothell, they do not include ground floor commercial spaces. They can provide an
opportunity to introduce homeownership to Town Centers.
It is difficult to determine with certainly whether townhomes are feasible at the site because there are so
few recent built examples in close proximity to the site.
It is also common for rental apartments to lead housing development in pioneering locations, with
owner -occupied housing following, since renters are more willing to take a chance on a place by
signing a one-year lease, whereas home buyers typically make a much more careful and potentially
risky investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They want to be more confident that the area
where they are buying is safe, attractive, active, and will retain its value over time.
Condominiums. Condominiums (e.g., single -story units within three to seven story buildings) are
highly unlikely at the TC3 site for several reasons. Following the great recession in 2007 to 2009, there
have been very few condo projects built in Western Washington and the Pacific Northwest due to
construction liability issues, much tighter lending requirements, and high construction costs. The main
locations where condominiums have been built are places like Downtown Bellevue, with some of the
hottest housing markets in the country, where buyers will pay $800 per square foot or more (i.e., at least
$800,000 for a 1,000 square foot unit); developers need to achieve these prices in order for these
projects to "pencil" (be financially feasible).
Developers —and their contractors and architects —face significant construction liability risks when
they develop condos, since they must assume that homeowners' associations will sue them for some
construction defects (e.g., defects in roof, building envelop, building systems) during the 10-year
liability window following project completion. Such lawsuits are often for millions or even tens of
millions of dollars. Because of these issues and the condo project bankruptcies that took place during
the great recession, lenders are much more conservative about providing financing to condo projects,
and to condo buyers. Developers must invest a higher share of their own capital in condo projects,
which reduces returns and feasibility. Developers are also pushed to attempt to pre -sell condos units to
buyers several years before buildings are complete, which few buyers accept outside of extremely hot
markets.
Commercial Space. As discussed above, most commercial space will take place on the ground floor of
mixed -use buildings, and LCG expects that most of the mixed -use buildings at the TC3 site will include
housing on upper floors.
A wide range of commercial spaces is possible including restaurants, breweries, bakeries, coffee shops,
and other F&B (food and beverage) tenants; healthcare; fitness, yoga, and martial arts; home goods and
specialty boutiques; professional office and co -working space (shared office spaces in the model of We
Work); banks and financial institutions; and general retail/commercial.
Food and beverage tenants are among the most important to attract to town centers, since they create a
feeling of activity and vitality and attract patrons from nearby and far away. For hundreds of years,
cafes and coffee shops have created opportunities for families and friends to connect in urban districts,
across cultures and generations. These tenants have also proven less susceptible than others (e.g., office
supplies, shoe stores) to strong competitive from online shopping since the experience of dining
together cannot be replicated online. "Experiential retail" (e.g., specialty boutiques) and services that
are ideally provided in person (e.g., healthcare, physical therapy) are other categories that are also less
susceptible to online competition.
One potential ground floor tenant is the UW Tacoma/Highline College's educational HUB. The HUB is
currently operating in Federal Way and offering classes, particularly in education. The current HUB
space is 8,000 square feet but leadership at Highline College has indicated that over the next decade, the
HUB could occupy as much as 24,000 square feet. The HUB would be a unique ground floor use for
the Town Center and would help to attract young people to the site. However, much planning and
negotiations will need to take place in order to make this potential a reality. At a minimum, the City
should let prospective developers know that the HUB is a potential tenant.
Larger -footprint tenants (those occupying 20,000 square feet or more, such as grocery stores and
pharmacies) are less likely than the commercial tenants described above but could be feasible within the
right overall development mix. Some commercial categories such as fashion and upscale home goods
will be harder to attract in early years since these tenants typically want to be in malls and other
locations such as malls that already have well -established national brands and high levels of foot traffic.
Despite the clear desirability of ground floor commercial spaces from a place -making point of view,
many (though not all) developers will seek to build very modest amounts since many believe it
generally will not generate positive financial returns in the near -term at the TO site.
This is because developers generally need triple -net rents of $35 to $40+ per square foot in order to
generate an acceptable return for commercial space. Such rents are possible in hot Eastside suburbs
such as Kirkland and Redmond, but not currently in Federal Way, where most commercial rents are
around in the mid $20s per square foot. Some recent mixed -use projects in Auburn and Des Moines —
which either have a very small amount of poorly designed ground floor commercial space or have
vacant ground floor commercial space —are cautionary examples for both developers and cities.
However, LCG believes that, if the City can find the right developers and craft the right type of
partnership agreements, then the parties should be able to find a path towards an acceptable amount of
ground floor commercial space that leads to high levels of street -level activity at the TO site. The City
may need to consider incentives, such as reducing the value of the land or other incentives to be
determined, in order to incentivize developers to build the desired amount of commercial space.
Hotel
A hotel market analysis was completed for the City by HVS in 2021, indicating that a 125-room hotel at
the site should be feasible. While this finding is encouraging, LCG's view is that multiple factors —
including nationwide challenges to the hotel business model created by the Covid pandemic, higher
construction costs and interest rates, and the cost of structured parking at the site —are likely to create
challenges for hotel development in the near- and medium -term (at least the next five years). The
pandemic has fundamentally altered hotel occupancy and therefore development feasibility since
business and leisure travel have significantly decreased. While both types of travel are on the rebound,
business travel remains below historic levels and LCG's view is that this factor, along with the others
mentioned above, will challenge the development of new lodging at this site. In addition, the HVS
study focused on a surface -parked hotel project. If developers are required to carry the cost of
structured parking at the site, this will also seriously challenge feasibility.
In the long-term, however, once several hundred housing units, ground floor commercial space, and
related parking, are established at the TO site and some of the above issues moderate, the development
of a new mid- to upscale -hotel development may become more feasible.
For this reason, the VIA/LCG team have placed a potential hotel on the east side of the site, based on
the idea that development of the site could proceed from west to east. The west side can be built out
first, with a mix of housing, commercial space, Community Center, and other uses, and development of
the eastern parcel(s) could take place after the successful occupancy of the west side.
Office/Employment Space
As described above, a variety of types of office and employment development can take place on the
ground floor of mixed -use buildings, including professional services, healthcare, and co -working. Such
spaces can be relatively small, often between 5,000 and 20,000 square feet.
However, the preferred alternative also shows a large (100,000 square feet+) office building on the east
side of the TC3 site, which could also have ground floor retail space.
Somewhat like the proposed hotel use, LCG views a large office building as an aspirational use that
could come in the later phases of development. To an even greater degree than a hotel, an office
building is likely to be infeasible for developers in this site and economic context in the next five to ten
years. In the long term, it is possible that these dynamics could change.
Similar but to a greater degree than hotels, office real estate has been fundamentally changed by the
Covid pandemic. The industry seems to be coalescing on a view that most white-collar workers may be
physically present in the office for an average of 2.5 days a week, but organizations are taking a wide
range of approaches to the new world of hybrid work, with some opting to allow employees to be 100%
remote if they choose that. This lower level of occupancy creates a reduced level of demand for office
space, particularly for technology firms, which have driven most office development over the past
decade. Even before the pandemic, however, office development demand in the South Sound has been
very weak compared to the region's hot office markets in Central Seattle, Eastside, and Northend,
where large high tech, biotech, and professional service firms —and their executives and employees —
have primarily been located. No new office space has been completed recently (last twelve months) or
is under construction in most South Sound submarkets, including Downtown Tacoma.
Over the past decade, only one new office building (DaVita, east of I-5) has been built in the City of
Federal Way. However, this is a build -to -suit building for a known credit tenant (DaVita). It has 689
surface parking spaces, a ratio of 4.3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of office area. For developers,
attempting to build a comparable amount of structured parking spaces at the TC3 site would render
office development infeasible.
The outlook for office development could be significantly improved in several ways. One is for the City
to decide to move its City Hall to the TC3 site. This could provide an "anchor tenant" for an office
developer and might enable the developer to overbuild the office building (i.e., include some office
space that could be later rented to private employers). Another is for a developer to identify a large
corporate tenant interested in occupying space at this site. That is possible but unlikely based on LCG's
experience and evidence from build town center projects from around the region; in any case, LCG is
not aware of such a tenant at present. A final incentive would be for the City to build a large parking
structure that could be occupied by an office building.
Since any of these approaches are speculative and would involve a significant expense for the City,
LCG has recommended that the office building in the preferred alternative be shown on the eastern half
of the site, where it could possibly take place in a later phase of development.
Phasing. In the future, the City may reach a decision point at which the initial phases of development —
comprising housing, ground floor commercial space, and potentially other uses —are successful and
complete. At that point, the City is likely to face a choice between extending these uses to the east or
waiting for an indeterminate time period before which aspirational "reach" uses such as lodging and
major office can be attracted to the site.
It is possible that LCG's view of the market is excessively conservative, and that developers will
exceed our expectations for lodging and office uses. However, we believe that the City should be
prepared for responses from developers that emphasize housing and some ground floor commercial
space and are cautious or nonresponsive to the desire for lodging and major office space in the near -
and medium -term.
Public Parking
The City plans to build approximately 300 parking spaces for the PAEC, in order to replace surface
parking that will be developed as housing, ground floor retail, plazas, streets, and potentially other uses.
In addition, the City wants to provide some parking for the general public. The public should be able to
park in the PAEC spaces during most hours and days —during most day times and many evenings and
weekends —when there are no PAEC events. VIA has shown approximately 400 to 430 public parking
spaces in the preferred alternative, which includes 300 PAEC/public parking spaces and 100+ public
parking spaces.
This public parking structure will probably be the City's biggest investments at the TO site since
developers are highly unlikely to build public parking where the parking fees will be relatively low.
Such development will not generate an acceptable rate of return, and in fact may have negative cash
flow depending on how the structure is financed and operated.
Based on cost estimates received from general contractors and other development analysts, LCG's
assessment is that the total cost (including construction, financing, and soft costs) of a structured, above
grade parking space built at negotiated wage rates for public -sector projects is about $55,000, and the
total cost of a below grade space is about $86,000 due to the significantly higher costs of design and
engineering, excavation, earthwork, retaining walls and stabilization, mechanical venting, and related
costs. Therefore, a public parking structure would cost about $23.5 million if above grade and $37.2
million if below grade. Additional design and cost estimation will be necessary to prepare a specific
cost estimate. These high costs illustrate the importance of sharing parking, between the general public
and PAEC events attendees, and even residents or businesses of private projects. By sharing parking
between different land uses that have peak parking demands during different times of the week (e.g.,
weekdays vs. weekends) and different times of day (e.g., daytime vs. evening), the cost of structured
parking for the City and developers can be reduced, and all parties can direct their funds towards
essential improvements such as high -quality buildings, streets and plazas, and public buildings.
There is obviously a cost advantage to an above -grade structure. There are also advantages to a below -
grade structure. Such a structure would free up land for additional residential, commercial, or public
development. It can also create a better connection, via ramps and potentially an elevator, from the
upper terrace of the site to the south side of the site at the Town Square Park and Sound Transit parking
structure. This could create a valuable connection to the site for cars and pedestrians. The City should
carefully weigh the design and cost implications of a public parking structure since it is likely to be a
major City investment and have significantly influence the design of the site.
Community Buildings/Community Center
A community building is shown as a part of the preferred alternative, but its size, design, and contents
are very much yet to be determined. The building(s) could include public meeting/gathering space, city
offices, vendors selling produce, prepared foods, or other products, or other uses. Given this wide range
of possibilities, it is impossible for LCG to assess the feasibility of this concept. If well executed,
community buildings and centers can make significant positive contributions to town centers.
