PROJECT TITLE: Art Center College of Design—South Campus (Parcel B) Parking Structure

PROJECT ADDRESS: Parcel B: Glenarm Power Plant Site (SE corner of Glenarm Street and S. Raymond Avenue)
Case Manager:  Erin Clark



PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Pasadena is considering entering into a Development and Lease Agreement with Art Center College of Design (Art Center) to facilitate Art Center’s use of Parcel B on the Glenarm Power Plant Site to develop a parking structure. The intended use is to provide parking for existing South Campus facilities and for students who will reside in newly constructed housing directly across Glenarm Street at the Art Center South Campus site. The student housing component was previously approved as part of a Master Development Plan within the South Fair Oaks Specific Plan area.

 

The Property is currently improved with three, above-ground fuel oil storage tanks. Two of the three tanks (each 42ft. 3in. tall) were fully emptied in the mid-1990s. The remaining tank (48ft. tall) was emptied in 2002 but still contains approximately one foot (500 barrels) of residual material that has yet to be removed. The tanks were used as part of the Glenarm Power Plant site, which is currently not in operation. The site is vacant.

 

The Property would be developed in two phases:

 

Phase I

Demolition of the three fuel oil storage tanks to allow for use of the Property for construction staging in connection with Art Center’s proposed development of student housing on the property located across Glenarm Street to the north of the Property.

 

Phase II

Construction of a five-story, above ground parking structure containing approximately 285 parking spaces (57 spaces per level). The structure will be approximately 105,000 sq. ft. on a 30,640 sq. ft. site. Parking would be primarily available to Art Center students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
