Questions to staff and consultants from Council followed including discussion of the following: 1) Will the building be built to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification; 2) What type of uses are envisioned for the Multipurpose Room; 3) How will the building be situated to activate High Street; 4) Will there be potential quiet space locations that allow for taking a call while supervising children; 5) Will the Children’s Space have access to the patio; 6) How is the transition to the future City Hall envisioned; and 7) Will food and beverage consumption be allowed in or around the Library. Ms. Judy VanWyk provided an overview on the interior design concepts developed through input during community workshops. Mr. Laurentowski provided a brief introduction to the existing High Street conditions and architectural styles and how they were considered as part the design process. Mr. Finney provided additional detail on the architectural design development and the styles and concepts considered. Discussion among Council and staff followed with a focus on the exterior design including: any agricultural design influences used should be easily recognizable; roof pitch design and building orientation considerations; the building should maintain a small town feel and character instead of being modern and futuristic; the exterior design should reflect the interior design elements the community found favorable; and the exterior design should more closely match the existing character of High Street and set the tone for future High Street buildings. Linda Legman, Moorpark resident, spoke to comment on architecture and public art which can be a point of contention when proposals are outside of the normal comfort zone, and encouraged consideration of various architectural styles. CONSENSUS: It was the consensus of the Council for staff to move forward with further development of Building Scheme A (interior plan) and return with additional exterior design options for further consideration. 84 Minutes of the City Council/Successor Agency Moorpark, California Page 3 March 24, 2021 7.
