Site Conditions

The site was part of a proffered development condition. The site provides strong access to major roadways; however, the parcel is smaller than typically required for a district police station with challenging topography. The tiered parking approach integrates vehicle motorcade requirements within the constrained site conditions. Secure parking will support 60 police cruisers and 29 motorcycles as well as space for 80 staff and visitor vehicles on the upper tier. The changing needs of motorcade include integration of electric fueling stations.
