Negative Impacts (Threats) In the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, there are 15 of such business who offer a wide range of informal office lease arrangements for individuals, firms, and local business needing expansion workspace. - Most co -work space are in commercial office buildings containing an abundance of natural light. Key Summary Observations The conversion of the Santa Ana City Jail to a general commercial office center would make good use of all existing spaces including inmate housing as a majority of requirements to do so are surface / facial only. The 70 square foot cell design is consistent with the modem trend for smaller co -work office space. By further researching the local co -work office market, the City can get a better understanding as to the type of designs and space layouts that are most popular and in demand in and around the Santa Ana City Jail. Additionally, the City will need to determine the type of shared workspace they will provide or if the intent is to convert it into one large office space for one organization only. Jail Reuse Feasibility Study Vanir Consultant Team Recommended Feasibility Options Ranking Based on the results of the analysis and evaluation process, a summary ranking from best to worst for the implementation of the proposed five jail reuse feasibility options was established by the Vanir consultant team. Analysis of this information and related fiscal impact data was used to form the following recommended implementation ranking: Community Commercial Office Space Recommended Ranking: Jail Reuse Implementation Option #3 References and Acknowledgements 1 New Work Cities, https://nwc.co/3/coworking-business-model-template/ 2 We Work Office Tour by HeatherJustCreate, https://voutu.be/H7ZN4567zzA The fourth potential Jail reuse feasibility option the consultant team analyzed focused on a scenario which involves renovating and reusing the City's Jail building as a converted homeless shelter with supportive services space. The work for this option installs a canopy and staging area in the vehicle sallyport, and converts the existing Jail intake / release area into a day center and reception area for the local homeless populations seeking shelter. This would include seating, personal property storage, kennels, meal service, and meeting space for programs and social service outreach efforts. The layout and function of the housing units will remain relatively the same, however, there will be moderate renovation construction costs associated with removing all soft furnishings and fixtures due to sanitation needs generally associated with this type of use. 97 65A-104
