SUBJECT: Status Report on Building Design for Ruben Castro Human Services
Center
DISCUSSION:
On March 1, 2006 the City Council approved the conceptual site plan for the Ruben
Castro Human Services Center. Staff provided a status report on June 7, 2006
concerning proposed tenants for the facility and the proposed new building's setbacks
and visual relationship with the Police Services Center located immediately south of the
proposed site. Subsequently, staff met with HMC Architects and requested certain
modifications to the building's elevation which have now been incorporated into the
design and are presented for the City Council's further review.
REVIEW OF FACILITY CONCEPT
Human Services Center will include facilities to provide medical, dental, mental health,
and other social services to the City's low and moderate income families. In April 2001,
the City of Moorpark Redevelopment Agency acquired a 7.58 acre site on Spring Road
for the Police Services Center. Approximately two acres of that site have been
designated for the new Human Services Center. This parcel was acquired by the City
with Community Development Block Grant Funds for that purpose. The proposed facility
would include a 10,000 square foot medical clinic, a 15,000 square foot "Under -one-
Roof' Building, and an area for day laborers to assemble.
The medical building setback along Spring Road is thirty -three feet, seven inches which
matches that of the CHP portion of the Police Service Center. The Under - One -Roof
building is set back sixty -four feet, ten inches to create the plaza area for day laborer
assembly and to create a diminishing architectural site line for the two facilities as
drivers and pedestrians proceed north into the downtown area. The site provides
opportunities for future increased parking on the south property line and room for
expansion of the Under - One -Roof Building to the east. The existing property being
leased to Catholic Charities at the east end of the site will be developed for parking in
