37 Task 2.D Retail Market Assessment Objective: To determine the type of retail, optimum sizing, location and configuration of the retail space within the SARTC Approach: The effort will begin with the IBI Team collecting existing data from the City. It is understood that the City has a good understanding of the market potential for retail space in the Station District area and that no further surveys are necessary. We will examine similar multi-modal stations in the United States and report their level of retail space activity. Using this information, the IBI Team will prepare a SARTC retail program outline and design character study to be used in Task 3.A and 3.13. Deiiverables: • SARTC Retail Program Outline and Design Character Study Task 3 - Facility Requirements Definition Task 3.A Building Space Requirements and Assessment Objective: To develop innovative layout concepts that efficiently and effectively meet the expected spatial needs of the facility. To conduct an assessment of the practicality of the existing building to accommodate fixture needs. Approach: Following the Design Workshop discussed in Task 2.C, the goal of this task is to define the building space needs and requirements for SARTC including: the existing and future public transportation providers, Bike Station, a Maintenance Facility, ticketing and information facilities, administrative offices, retail and commercial business uses and areas for parking, bus layover, pedestrian connections and open spaces. We will conduct an existing facility walk through and review, collect drawings and surveys of sites surrounding the station area, mapping, GIs data, existing building plans, platform and track plans, previous documents and reports. These documents become the base information to develop concepts and design documents. With the data and information captured in Task 2 the IBI Team will develop a spatial needs matrix that breaks down each sub-service into constituent spatial & functional needs categories, capturing individual operational and passenger service needs. This process will allow us to determine where there may be potential overlaps in terms of functional requirements (i.e. ticketing) and or spatial needs (i.e. waiting platforms). From this point we can define a set of spatial relationship rules, and highlight opportunities for potential spatial efficiencies. Three alternate SARTC bubble diagram development studies will be explored based upon three separate concept scenarios. As part of this task, an analysis of the existing SARTC facility will be conducted. This will examine issues City of Santa Ana Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center Master Plan IBI Group 1.25.10
