RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Urban Studio for contracted architecture and urban design services in an
amount not to exceed $60,000.
DISCUSSION
The Planning Division is currently reviewing several projects that will
have long range architectural and urban design impacts on the City.
Planning Division staff is analyzing projects including the Geneva
Commons residential high-rise development at MacArthur Place, the Nexus
mixed-use retail and high-rise residential development at Hutton Center,
and the City Place mixed-use development adjacent to the Main Place Mall.
To enhance the architectural and urban design components of these
projects, staff has been consulting with John Kaliski of Urban Studio
since March 2003. Urban Studio has also provided valuable input on
several smaller projects that has resulted in improved project design.
An agreement was approved in March 2003 for $10,000 for the contracted
services of Urban Studio. Approval of the amendment to the existing
agreement would increase the contracted amount by $50,000 and extend
these services for an additional 12-month time period.
