Dear City Clerk and Staff,
RE 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd.
I have attached the cost estimates from the 2022 City Hall Subcommittee (J. Willey, K. Moore) report
which shows the costs for seismic retrofitting the current City Hall to a Category IV Essential
Structure at approximately $7M. The plan at that time was to remodel the Torre Annex which the city
owns and to relocate the Emergency Operations Center to the center of that (Torre Annex) building,
and additionally move permitting to that location. The City Hall was then to have a renovation to a
Risk Category IV Essential Structure; however, it could simply be seismically retrofitted to Category
IV Essential Structure for much less.
19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. was built in 1979, under building code seismic design standards at that
time. Has there been a recent structural design report conducted on 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. to
determine what structural improvements would be needed in order to obtain Risk Category IV
Essential Structural design for the building? Because the Emergency Operations Center would
presumably be relocated to this building. What is the cost estimate for any seismic retrofit?
Have there been any inspections recently conducted on the property which may indicate impending
maintenance costs, such as roofing, HVAC, or plumbing?
There is a flyer available online for 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. showing the current floor plan
configuration of that building which I have attached. I have also attached the current City Hall Floor
Plan. 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. is a smaller building by about 4,000 square feet. Is there an
expectation that the interior of 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. would be remodeled to reconfigure the
floor plan? Is there a cost estimate for this?
19400 Stevens Creek Blvd. has 75 parking spaces and no on street parking available on Stevens
Creek Blvd. I have attached the Parking Study pages from the City Hall Subcommittee report, which
show that the Current City Hall has 84 parking spaces along with on street parking. Will there be a
parking deficit at 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd.?
Would the Sheriffs be relocating to 19400 Stevens Creek Blvd.?
Thank you,
Kitty Moore
