Project Description

Demolition of the existing single-story building, with approved site trees to be removed and specified trees to be protected in place as per the City arborist’s determination. Construction of a new 6,699 square-foot two-story community center. The community center will consist of an entry lobby that has a small office and display cases. The lobby leads back to the central stairs and restrooms. Beyond the restrooms are a large assembly space, a commercial teaching kitchen, a senior assembly space, and a senior kitchenette. The senior space has its own gender-neutral restroom. The second floor houses more restrooms and assembly spaces. There is an elevator connecting the two floors as well as two stairs. From the access road on the north side of the building, a gender-neutral restroom is accessible to the baseball field and the trash enclosure. On the 2nd floor of the west side of the building, there is a mechanical equipment space on the roof that is screened from the neighbor’s view. The building is an “L” shape, and the interior courtyard has a fire pit, seating areas, and a flagpole.

The new Community Center will provide 6,699 square feet to meet the community's needs, including, but not limited to:

• Large central meeting space and breakout rooms

• Multiple rooms for expanded activities and programs

• Courtyard with outdoor flagpole, fire pit, and amphitheater

• Art Room/Maker Space

• Dedicated space for seniors’ lounge and computers

• Commercial and demonstration kitchen

• Storage spaces for regular user groups

• Display cases for historical displays and awards

• Central heat and air conditioning

• Wi-Fi and technology-enabled
• New furnishings and portable stage

As of July 2026, the project plans are currently in the last round of Building and Safety review.
