Project: 24159.10 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Project Description <br />The project’s scope is to renovate and retrofit the existing structure located at 625 South Cypress <br />Avenue which formally served as a fire station into a new athletic and activity league center for the <br />community (shown in Figure 1). The existing building is deemed historic and was constructed in 1928 <br />per the existing architectural drawings (shown in Figure 2). <br /> <br />The existing building consists of a one-story structure, approximately 3,500 ft2. The existing <br />architectural drawings show wood framed walls, high vaulted ceiling with wood trusses, and wood <br />sheathing (diagonal, straight, or boarded). The existing footings appear to be continuous or isolated <br />pad footings. <br /> <br />The gravity retrofit consists of replacing any damaged structural elements, installing new roof framing <br />member, ceiling framing members, and installing new footings to support new bearing and shear <br />walls. The lateral retrofit consists of strengthening some of the existing walls to serve as shear walls, <br />re-sheathing the roof diaphragm, and providing lateral supporting elements (collector framing <br />members and straps). The proposed renovation will need to avoid impacting the historic fabric of the <br />building. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1: Proposed Floor Plan <br />3
