BACKGROUND: The Development Order for the Downtown Government Center (Resolution 81-343: April 23, 1931) shows the Central Sup- port Facility. This block was rezoned to GU -Governmental Use by Ordinance 9196; October 30, 1980. Per Resolution 80-714; September 25, 1980 permission to construct and operate the Central Utility Plant and Parking Garage on this site was granted.

The County's building plans for the subject property have been modified in order to provide for an enemy saving coge aeration facility in conjunction with the utility Plant, retail space and some additional space for Property Management and Central Files and Sto- rage, The aggregate increase in the building area, exclusive of the park- ing structure is 24,000 square feet. The garage structure has been in- creased in capacity from 620 to 647 spaces as a result of the compact car allowance under the current City code. The height has increased to 120 feet.

This segment of NiV 2nd Avenue will be emphasizIed for pedestrian use. Provision is also made for a second level pedestrian con- nection between the two facilities which would lead to the retail facil- ities.
