Attachment 1
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
FOR
INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT/CHINATOWN COMMUNITY CENTER
BETWEEN
CITY OF SEATTLE
AND
SEATTLE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") related to the development, design and construction of a new community center as part of the International District Village Square Phase 2 Project is entered into as of this _____ day of __________, 2003 by and
between THE CITY OF SEATTLE ("City"), acting by and through its DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION ("Parks"), and the SEATTLE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a public corporation chartered by the City
("SCIDPDA").
RECITALS
A. SCIDPDA was chartered by the City pursuant to RCW 35.21.730 et seq. and Seattle Municipal Code ("SMC") Chapter 3.110 to "work for the conservation and renewal of the unique cultural and ethnic integrities characteristic of the area historically
known as the Chinatown-International District," and "to expand and preserve the residential community, especially for low-income people."
B. SCIDPDA has undertaken to develop, design and construct the International District Village Square Phase 2 Project ("Project"), a mixed use project containing (i) a community center ("International District Community Center" or "Community Center"),
(ii) low-income family housing, and (iii) certain other community facilities, including parking, a branch public library and other uses. The Community Center (and community facilities) will be developed by SCIDPDA. The Community Center will thereafter
be a separate condominium unit owned by the City, by and through Parks. The community facilities will be owned and managed by SCIDPDA. The right and responsibility to develop, own and manage the low-income family housing has been assigned by SCIDPDA
to IDVS 2 Family Housing LLC. However, SCIDPDA will be the managing member of IDVS 2 Family Housing LLC.
C. The Project, including its Community Center, will provide significant public benefits to the community by providing public recreational opportunities, a public branch library and low-income family housing.
D. SCIDPDA is the owner of the Project site, more particularly described as follows:
Lots 1 to 8, inclusive, of Turner's Supplemental Plat of the east half of Block 52, D.S. Maynard's Plat of the Town, now City of Seattle, according to the plat thereof recorded in Volume I of Plats, page 169, in King County Washington together with that
public alleyway vacated by Ordinance 120063;
EXCEPT the south 12 feet of said Lots 1 to 4, inclusive, condemned in King County Superior Court Cause Number 52652, for Dearborn Street, as provided by Ordinance Number 13320 of the City of Seattle.
E. The City and SCIDPDA have entered into separate agreements related to the Project, including, without limitation, the following: (i) Bond Payment Guaranty Agreement, Special Obligation Bonds, 2002 Series A (Housing Facilities) dated December 12,
2002 (the "Series A Bond Agreement") and Bond Payment Guaranty Agreement, Special Obligation Bonds, 2002 Series B (Community Facilities) dated December 12, 2002 (the "Series B Bond Agreement").
F. In November 1999, City of Seattle voters approved Proposition 1, providing funding for the development and expansion of 11 community centers. Among other things, Proposition 1 made $2,100,000 in Parks funding available for the Community Center.
From this source of Parks funding, SCIDPDA and the City have agreed that $216,000 will be retained by Parks as consideration for: (i) design review, administration, project management, and construction inspection services provided by Parks in connection
with the Project; (ii) the City's "One Percent for Art" public works construction project program requirements; and (iii) the acquisition of certain equipment and materials for the Community Center. Therefore, the remaining funding available from this
Parks source is $1,884,000.
G. Additional Parks funding in the amount of $250,000 from the Parks Levy Opportunity Fund is available for the Community Center.
H. As a result of the foregoing, the City has made a total of $2,350,000 in Parks funding available for the Community Center.
I. Other sources of City funding are also available for the Community Center.
J. City funding in the amount of $199,000 from the City's Department of Neighborhoods "Neighborhood Matching Fund" is available for the Community Center gymnasium. These funds will be administered pursuant to a separate agreement between SCIDPDA and
the Department of Neighborhoods.
K. City funding in the amount of $175,000 in the form of Community Development Block Grants is available for the Community Center. Funding from this City source will be administered pursuant to a separate agreement between SCIDPDA and the City's
Department of Human Services.
L. As a result of the foregoing Recitals, the total remaining City funding available from all City sources for the Community Center is $2,508,000 ($2,724,000 less $216,000 retained by Parks as set forth above). The total cost of the Community Center
is presently estimated to be $3,908,784, with SCIDPDA being responsible for arranging for the remainder of the financing.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the City, by and through Parks, and SCIDPDA agree as follows:

DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY CENTER
2.1 Covenant to Develop the Community Center; Assignment. Subject to (a) the applicable terms and conditions of any other agreement(s) between the City and SCIDPDA and (b) the agreements, terms and conditions herein, and including the payment of the
funds by the City as agreed hereunder, SCIDPDA promises to develop, design and construct the Community Center. SCIDPDA agrees that it will not assign any of its rights or responsibilities under this Agreement to any third party without the prior
written approval of the City, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. SCIDPDA further agrees that it will ensure that any such assignee is fully bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Before commencing construction of the Community Center, SCIDPDA has completed any required SEPA process and has received all applicable Regulatory Approvals related to the Project, including those necessary to commence such construction. All
administrative or other appeals associated with such process and approvals have been resolved or the time periods therefor have expired without any such appeal having been brought.
2.2 Use of City Funding. Unless otherwise agreed to, SCIDPDA agrees its use of City funding pursuant to this Agreement will be strictly limited to the development, design and construction of the Community Center.
2.3 Obligation to Complete Work Once Commenced. Once construction of the Community Center has been commenced, SCIDPDA will proceed with diligence to cause such Community Center to be constructed on the Project site in accordance with all approved
Project designs and specifications, subject to delays for force majeure.
2.4 Compliance with Project Schedules. SCIDPDA will at all times exercise its best efforts, subject to delays for force majeure, to adhere to the Community Center construction schedule. The approved construction schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit
C and incorporated herein by this reference.
2.5 Community Center Contracts and Required Approvals. Each contract related to the construction of the Community Center, including the design and general construction contracts for the Community Center, will be awarded by SCIDPDA pursuant to processes
that: (a) satisfy all state and local laws for the solicitation of proposals or bids by contractors who are qualified to undertake development or construction of the Community Center, and (b) fully comply with all other applicable federal, state and
local requirements applicable to the Community Center, including those requirements related to the inclusion of required terms and conditions applicable to the Community Center in all such contracts. Among other requirements, such contracts will meet

RCW 35.22.650.
2.6 Americans with Disabilities Act. SCIDPDA will comply, and require its consultants and contractors to comply, with all applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") in performing its obligations under this Agreement. Failure
to comply with the provisions of the ADA shall be a material breach of, and grounds for the immediate termination of, this Agreement.
2.7 Available Parks Community Center Funding. Subject to the terms and conditions of any separate agreements between the City and SCIDPDA, and as described in the Recitals, the maximum possible contribution to the Community Center from all City
sources is $2,724,000. The maximum possible contribution to the Community Center from Parks is $2,350,000, of which $2,134,000 remains available for Community Center purposes as of the date of the execution of this Agreement. As noted in the Recitals,
funding for the Community Center from City sources other than Parks will be administered by separate agreements between SCIDPDA and those other City sources. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide only for the possible contribution of remaining
Parks funding to the Community Center. Nevertheless, SCIDPDA's obligations hereunder are conditioned on the receipt of the funds provided for in this Agreement as well as the other agreements with the City for funding, so long as any failure to fund is
not due to SCIDPDA's breach of its obligations under such agreements.
2.8 Community Center Funding Contribution Payments. Provided SCIDPDA is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any separate agreements it has with the City in connection with the Community Center, Parks will make payments to
SCIDPDA not exceeding $2,134,000 in accordance with the following:
(a) SCIDPDA may submit monthly requests for payment (invoices) to Parks based upon (and not in excess of) the percentage of work completed based on a mutually agreed upon schedule of values contained in the budget for the Community Center; provided,
however, that Parks will be permitted to retain 10% of each draw request until final completion has been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SCIDPDA will not be entitled to disbursement of such funds if it has failed to deliver the deed to the
Community Center in breach of its obligations under Exhibit E attached hereto. SCIDPDA will adhere to the invoice format and submittal procedure provided by Parks, including the provision of required documentation in support of payment requests.
(b) Payment requests will be directed to the Parks Representative at the Parks and Recreation Department, 800 Maynard Avenue South, Third Floor, Seattle, WA 98134-1336, and shall be signed by an authorized representative of SCIDPDA. The Superintendent
of Parks, or his or her designated representative, shall issue his or her approval or disapproval in writing within ten (10) working days of receipt of all required documentation. If the payment request is disapproved, the notice thereof shall contain
the reasons for the disapproval; SCIDPDA may correct the reasons for disapproval and resubmit the request for disapproved items. Upon approval of the payment request by the Superintendent, or his or her designated representative, payment will be made
to SCIDPDA within sixty (60) days after notice of the approval. The City will use its best efforts to expedite this payment process so that payment can be made as quickly as possible to SCIDPDA.
(c) In order to provide for the accurate accounting of expenditures made from the various City and other funding sources that will contribute to the Project, and to help ensure that Parks funding hereunder is used only for the construction of the
Community Center, SCIDPDA will be required to account for costs, expenditures and funding sources associated with the Community Center separately from the other Project elements.
2.9 Substantial Delay. SCIDPDA will immediately notify Parks in the event there is any significant risk that there will be (i) a substantial delay of over five (5) working days in the completion of the Community Center as shown in the construction
schedule therefor; or (ii) significant risk of increased costs for the Community Center.
2.10 City Audits. Upon request, SCIDPDA (including any assignees of rights or responsibilities under this Agreement) will permit the City to inspect and audit all pertinent books and records of SCIDPDA, its assignees, its consultants and contractors,
any subcontractors, or any other person or entity that performed work in connection with or related to the Project, at any and all times deemed necessary by the City, including up to six years after the final payment has been made by Parks under this
Agreement. Such inspection and audit shall occur in King County, Washington or other such reasonable location as the City selects. SCIDPDA will supply the City with, or shall permit the City to make, a copy of any books and records and any portion
thereof. SCIDPDA will ensure that such inspection, audit and copying right of the City is a condition of any contract or agreement, subcontract, or other arrangement under which any other person or entity is permitted to perform work under this
Agreement.

Project design contract:
(a) Overall Design Responsibilities. SCIDPDA will continue to be responsible for overseeing the design development agreement for the Community Center. The parties agree that the Final Project Design Documents for the Community Center that have been
produced pursuant to that agreement are consistent with the Community Center Design Program (Exhibit A hereto), Community Center Design Standards (Exhibit B hereto), which are the applicable City and Parks standards related to the Community Center.
Final Project Design Documents have been approved by the City.
(b) No Representations or Liability. No City approval of or in connection with the Preliminary Project Design or the Final Project Design and Specifications (or amendments thereto) will constitute an opinion or representation by the City as to their
(i) compliance with any law, ordinance or standard, or (ii) suitability for any purpose other than those associated with the Community Center.
3.2 Changes in Approved Project Design and Specifications and Community Center Budget. In the event SCIDPDA proposes to change or amend the approved Preliminary Project Design or the approved Final Project Design and Specifications and Drawings with
respect to the design of the Community Center, or SCIDPDA considers it necessary to change the approved Community Center budget, any such proposed change or amendment will be subject to the written approval of the City, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld. Among other things, it will not be unreasonable for the City to withhold its approval if the proposed change would (i) cause the Community Center to not comply with the City's design program and standards therefor, which design
program and standards are set forth on Exhibits A and B attached hereto; or (ii) either reduce the agreed scope (as shown in the approved Final Project Design and Specifications and Drawings) of the Community Center or require additional City funding
for the Community Center. The City will complete its review of any such proposed changes or amendments and provide to SCIDPDA notice of its approval or disapproval thereof within ten (10) working days of receipt of any such proposed change or
amendment.
ARTICLE IV

COMMUNITY CENTER CONSTRUCTION PHASE
6.1 Construction Commencement. SCIDPDA has commenced construction of the Community Center. The Construction Phase is expected to end when construction of the Community Center has been finally completed. The parties expect that the Community Center
construction schedule attached as Exhibit C may be updated by SCIDPDA from time to time as may become necessary during the Construction Phase; provided, however, that any such update will be subject to the approval of Parks (which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld); and, provided, further, that SCIDPDA will at all times exercise its best efforts to adhere to such schedule, including any approved updates, subject to delays for force majeure.
6.2 Construction Phase Approvals and Control of Work; Substantial Completion and Final Completion of Community Center:
(a) Construction Phase Approvals and Control of Work. In addition to its right to approve the Final Project Design and Specifications as they relate to the Community Center (Section 3.2), the City will have the right to approve, in advance and in
writing, any proposed changes to the proposed work during construction that relate to the Community Center. Such proposed changes will be approved through the same process identified for Community Center design changes or amendments in Section 3.2.
(b) Review of Work. The City, including its Parks Representative, shall use its best efforts to attend Project construction meetings during the Construction Phase, and will be provided with timely notice of such meetings. These meetings are currently
scheduled for every Thursday beginning at 9:00 a.m. Work performed and materials furnished related to the Community Center will be subject to inspection by the City, including the Parks Representative, with a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours' advance
notice.
(c) Commissioning. SCIDPDA will hire a City-approved commissioning consultant to coordinate with and assist SCIDPDA in its implementation of the Building Commissioning Plan for the Community Center. This cost is contained in the budget. The
implementation of such plan shall result in full compliance with City standards for full documentation of building commissioning. In particular, it will structure and document the full initiation, testing, operational instruction and record
documentation of all Project systems.
(d) Substantial Completion. SCIDPDA will notify the Parks Representative, in writing when the Community Center is substantially completed. As part of such notification, SCIDPDA will advise the City of any items of work that remain incomplete and a
schedule for their completion. Thereafter, the City, including the Parks Representative, will conduct an inspection of the Community Center with SCIDPDA, together with its design consultant and construction contractor, to review the progress of the
Community Center work.
Within five business days following such inspection, the City will advise SCIDPDA by written notice of the remaining punchlist items to be completed to achieve final completion.
Upon receipt of such written notice of punchlist items from the City, SCIDPDA will diligently pursue the remaining work necessary to achieve such final completion.
(e) Final Completion Date; Certificate of Occupancy. Final completion of the Community Center will have been achieved when (i) a permanent Certificate of Occupancy for the Community Center has been issued, and (ii) all remaining Community Center work
items, including "punch list" items, have been completed to the satisfaction of Parks.
SCIDPDA will not schedule a final inspection until it and its construction contractor believe construction of the Community Center has been finally completed. Following notice of same from SCIDPDA, the City, including the Parks Representative, will
conduct an inspection of the Community Center with SCIDPDA, together with its design consultant and construction contractor.
If, following such inspection, the City concurs with SCIDPDA that construction of the Community Center is finally completed, the City will advise SCIDPDA of same by written notice within five business days following the inspection. Such written notice
will include a Final Completion Date for the Community Center agreed to by the City and SCIDPDA. However, if the City following such inspection does not reasonably consider the construction of the Community Center to be finally completed, the City will
advise SCIDPDA of same by written notice within such five day period, which notice will include the reasons therefor.
Upon receipt of any written notice from the City that the construction of the Community Center is not finally completed, SCIDPDA will diligently pursue the remaining work necessary to achieve such final completion. Subsequent inspection(s) for purposes
of determining whether construction of the Community Center is finally completed will occur in the manner set forth above.
Once a permanent Certificate of Occupancy has been issued and a Final Completion Date for the Community Center has been established, a Certificate of Final Completion will be issued by the City; provided, however, that such date and certificate will not
constitute acceptance by the City of any unauthorized or defective work or materials.
(f) Guaranties, Warranties and Promises. To the extent separately assignable to the City as part of the conveyance of the Community Center to the City, SCIDPDA will assign all manufacturer's guaranties and warranties that SCIDPDA has received with
respect to the equipment and products that are part of the Community Center.
(g) Defective or Unauthorized Work or Materials. If, within one year after the Project's Final Completion Date, any defective or unauthorized work or materials are discovered, the City may in its discretion pursue SCIDPDA and/or the contractor or
supplier thereof.
ARTICLE VII

7.1 Community Center Construction Closeout. The Community Center Construction Closeout Phase will commence upon issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion for the Community Center and will terminate upon the date that the Community Center is
conveyed to Parks by way of a bargain and sale deed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Addendum in Exhibit E attached hereto.

ARTICLE X
DISPUTES
10.1 Disputes. In the event of any dispute or misunderstanding that may arise between the parties under this Agreement, the parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute through amicable negotiations ("Preliminary Negotiations"), if possible,
between the SCIDPDA Project Manager and Parks Representative, or if necessary, between the Superintendent of the Parks Department and the Executive Director of SCIDPDA. If such officials do not agree upon a resolution within a reasonable period of time
(not to exceed 10 business days), and to ensure that the approved construction schedule is not disrupted, the parties shall engage in mediation to resolve the dispute. The parties shall attempt to agree upon a mediator within 15 days after the
Preliminary Negotiations have concluded without resolution. If they are unable to agree on a mediator within such time, either party may seek the appointment of a mediator through the King County Superior Court. The mediation shall be held within 60
days after the appointment of the mediator. The construction schedule shall be adjusted as necessary to accommodate delays arising out of the mediation process. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees in the mediation and shall share equally the
mediator's fees and costs.
ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION
11.1 For Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement only if the other party is in material breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, and such breach has not been corrected to the nonbreaching party's reasonable satisfaction in accordance
with Section 11.2 after notice of the breach has been communicated in writing to the party allegedly in breach.
11.2 Undue Delay. The City may terminate this Agreement if the Community Center is for whatever reason not finally complete (i.e., final completion has not been achieved) as of June 1, 2005.
11.3 Remedies/Enforceability. In the event either party violates this Agreement ("breaching party"), the non-breaching party will notify the breaching party in writing of the breach. The breaching party will have thirty (30) days from the date of
such notice to cure such breach. However, if the breach is of such a nature that it may not practicably be cured within thirty (30) days, the non-breaching party will not be entitled to exercise its remedies so long as the breaching party promptly
commences cure of such breach within the thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion with a reasonable time approved by the non-breaching party. If the breaching party does not cure or commence to cure pursuant to the
foregoing, the non-breaching party may, in its discretion, pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity. The parties agree that such remedies will include termination of this Agreement. The cure periods set forth in this paragraph shall
not apply to paragraph 11.2 above.
Regardless of whether this Agreement is terminated under paragraph 11.1 or 11.2 above, in no event will SCIDPDA be liable for return of the funds advanced hereunder. Instead, in either event, the City shall be entitled to take over in whole or in part
management of the Project, including the Community Center in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Series B Bond Agreement. If the City exercises this remedy, SCIDPDA shall pay to the City the amount of any funds that it has raised for construction of the
Community Center, which funds have not yet been expended on the Community Center.
11.4 Actual Damages. The City may request from SCIDPDA a written indication of the date on which the Community Center will be substantially complete (i.e., substantial completion has been achieved) for purposes of retaining staff and procuring
equipment associated with the operation of the Community Center. Such request shall state that it is made pursuant to this paragraph. If the Community Center is not substantially complete by the first working day following the date given in writing by
SCIDPDA, then SCIDPDA shall be liable to the City for damages measured by the actual cost to the City of personnel hired to staff the Community Center and the storage of Community Center equipment starting on such first day following the designated
substantial completion date for a period not to exceed 90 days. Such damages shall be mitigated to the extent that such employees are either no longer City employees or have found other employment with the City.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. INTENT
1. Project: The intent of this project is to build a new facility that allows users a space for recreation, meetings and general activities.
2. Funding and Project Completion: This project responds to the 1999 vote of citizens of Seattle to develop a community center in the International District. Funding for this project will come from the 1999 City proposition augmented by other funds to
be provided by the City and by the community. Construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2001 and will be completed in 2004.
3. Scope: The Scope of this Project consists of constructing the new International District Community Center as part of the International District Village Square II (IDVS II) project. IDVS II will be a mixed-use multi-story facility with family
housing, a community center, a branch library, office and retail spaces and parking. The Seattle Chinatown-International District Preservation and Development Authority (SCIDPDA) are the developers of this facility.
II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
A. LOCATION: The community center will be located in the second phase building of the International District Village Square, at 8th Ave. S. and S. Dearborn Street.
B. HISTORY: The International District has no public community center or recreational facility and has stated in various places including the adopted Neighborhood Plan and the Neighborhood Action Agenda that it desires a community recreation
facility.
In November of 1999 the citizens of Seattle passed Proposition 1 funding the development and expansion of 11 community centers. Proposition 1 provides for $2,100,000 of funding for the International District Community Center to be built by the SCIDPDA
as a part of IDVS II.
C. SITE DESCRIPTION: The site is located in the southeast edge of the International District. Its location on the half block surrounded by S. Lane St. to the north, 8th Ave. S. to the east, S. Dearborn St. to the south, and an alley to the west. The
present site is a surface parking lot, which serves the Phase I Village Square project across 8th Ave. S. to the east.
The site is 120' x 228' and approximately 228,360 square feet in area. The site slopes down from the northeast corner of 8th Ave. S. and S. Lane St. approximately 16 feet to the southwest corner along S. Dearborn St. The slope along 8th Ave. S. is 12
feet from S. Lane down to S. Dearborn.
On S. Dearborn, there are southbound and northbound off-ramps from Interstate 5. There is also a northbound on-ramp. As 8th Ave. S. is the first vehicular entrance to the International District for traffic westbound on S. Dearborn, the site will help
solidify the southeast edge of the district.
D. CURRENT USE: The site is currently used as a surface parking lot, which serves the Phase I Village Square project across 8th Ave. S. to the east.
E. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The site is paved with asphalt and is fenced on all four sides. There are no structures on the site.
III. PROJECT COMPONENTS
A. OBJECTIVES: The community center project components have been assembled to meet the program needs of the International District community center and include the Department's standards in terms of approximate square footage, intended use of the space,
functional relationship to other spaces, and any special requirements which the space or that portion of the structure may have. Total programmed space, including internal circulation, is approximately 15,324 square feet.

desk; Drinking fountain should be available outside of gym convenient to players, unobtrusive to other guests.
d. General requirements: (Roofing revised for this projectsee construction documents) Parks Department requires gym floor to be No. 2 maple strip with a floating floor and plywood diaphragm system; floors shall be designed to allow air movement
underneath. Minimize mechanical and equipment noise, such as from fans. Noise that comes from the gym must be contained within the gym.
Day lighting is important but must be provided without glare. Must have ability to darken gym for films and events. The gym will be used for a variety of functions requiring different lighting levels. Lighting should be designed to accommodate the
different uses. Staff will control lighting levels.

Community
The City of Seattle Parks and Recreation Department's community centers are year-round gathering places that welcome every member of each community in Seattle. Their spaces-both inside and outside-are part of the public realm, supporting activities of
all types, appealing to all ages and inclinations. A community center is more than a collection of rooms: parents hold impromptu conferences in its lobby, adolescents throw balls against its walls, and young children play in the protected alcoves
formed by its intersecting volumes. The building and its immediate surroundings should demonstrate respectful use of the earth's resources, offering the visitor a sense of the interconnectedness of life's many forms. The visitor to a particular
community center should find revealed in its design the connections to place that bind the site to the geography of the city.
Context
Community centers are frequently located in public parks. Yet, as Seattle develops more urban neighborhoods and its density increases, some community centers will be built within larger developments of housing or commercial space. Singular buildings
sited within large open spaces or landscapes are fundamentally different than public spaces embedded within highly urban development. The Community Center Design Principles (Design Principles) developed by the City of Seattle Department of Parks and
Recreation (Parks) will apply primarily to these single buildings set into a landscape. Community centers inserted into the urban fabric-those located in larger buildings or co-located with other public institutions-will likely follow design guidelines
and principles developed by Seattle's DCLU/City Design and the Seattle Design Commission for public building types requiring high levels of access and identity that are located in high-density developments.
Resources for Design
Parks' Design Principles are intended to guide both designers and those reviewing proposed designs in thinking about:
* how a community center should serve its community,
* the character of the places and spaces that compose it, and
* the values it should embody.
These Design Principles have been developed in response to requests from both project designers and the Seattle Design Commission for written guidelines governing the broader issues of design for community centers. Two other documents will guide other
aspects of the design of Parks' community centers:
* The 1999 Building Program Template describes the types, number, and sizes of the various rooms in a community center and their relationships to one another, as well as the various systems that will serve the building and its users.
* The Community Center Design Standards give designers technical direction in specifying materials, finishes, systems, and products by referencing specific Parks Standards for these items.
The three documents, taken together with input from the community and members of the Project Advisory Team, should provide guidance in addressing design issues of all sorts-big-picture principles to narrow-scope specifics-for users, reviewers,
designers, and interested citizens.
Connections
Public parks are places for renewal, refreshment, and replenishment of the self; parks are also places that should demonstrate our care for the environment and its restoration. A public park is an aggregation of public places, both in the landscape and
within built structures. A community center should create spaces for public use in the way the building meets the surrounding landscape--both inside and outside.
Typically, community center buildings have been object buildings set in the landscape. In this case, the building itself should serve as a sign: here is a place for community gathering. The building should organize the spaces around it, and could
provide a focal point for activities in the landscape of the park as well as in the surrounding neighborhood. The community center building and its surrounding garden and landscaped areas should represent the institution of the city in its forms and
materials:
* shapes and configurations of building masses that welcome the approaching visitor as one of the community;
* materials that endure, yet show the passage of time;
* plantings that grow and develop through the years, paralleling the succession of human generations, each one nurturing its successor through the years.
The community center building's siting should develop potential relationships of the site to the immediate neighborhood and to other areas and aspects of the city by means of physical connections and views. Physical connections should knit the building
into the structure of the neighborhood's fabric, while its architectural character should make clear that it welcomes all residents of the city. Functionally, connections should provide easy access to the community center for visitors who arrive by
bus, car, or bicycle, and for those who come there on foot. Access for emergency vehicles should be straightforward. While meeting all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) legislation, our community centers should reflect the
spirit of universal access in developing specific design solutions: allow all building users to move through space with dignity and ease, providing equivalent means of access for those who are disabled in one way or another.
Views from the community center are one way in which the institution's connection to other aspects of the city are made visible, as well as delighting the viewer. Views of the building from afar should also be considered by the designers for they
create the civic image of the institution for many who may never actually enter the building.
Articulation
Up close, the community center building's interior spaces should be indicated on the exterior, revealing-by means of massing, openings, material detailing, and literal transparency-the human activity within. The building's articulation and its
placement within the landscape should create outdoor "rooms." The designers should give character to these exterior spaces by means of their degree of enclosure, the textures and tones of the building's exterior materials, and the choice of plantings
that meet the building's edge.
Inside the building, space should be developed in a way that places are made for the individual, for the group, and for gatherings of the community. A chair placed in an alcove with a window nearby might make a place for the individual to read in the
daylight and to feel at home. The group plays 3-on-3 basketball in the community center's gymnasium. The community gathers in the multi-purpose room to share a meal, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen adjoining.
Sensory Delight
The community center building and surrounding outdoor areas should engage all the senses of the visitor, recognizing and honoring the diversity of such a building's users:
* Our sense of spatiality should be engaged by a play and counterplay of spaces: high and low, extensive and contained, plushlyfitted and of a spare economy.
* Our capacity for reading the thermal environment should be addressed by outdoor spaces that trap the sun's heat on cool spring and fall days, spaces that give welcome shade in summer, and indoor spaces of temperate comfort juxtaposed to the wet winds
of the Northwest winter immediately outside.
* Our perceptions of sound should be pleasurably stimulated by careful design of the acoustic environment: rooms of quiet in which sound quickly decays, rooms alive with sounds of games and play, and outdoor spaces enclosed with surfaces that capture
the more distant sounds of play and work.
* The plantings around the community center should reward us with their scents and flavors, especially with fruiting trees and shrubs. Underfoot, we might crush the leaves of the wooly thyme, releasing its pungent scent. Overhead, the autumn-yellow
leaves of the gingko might remind us of the season with their freshly-baked-sugar-cookie aroma.
Summary
In summary, these design principles offer a way to develop the community center site and the community center building built upon it so as to serve and delight those who use them, and to model and embody appropriate relationships between people and
between humankind and the earth's other inhabitants.
Other Resources
Additional resources that may aid the designer or reviewer of a community center project have been developed by other departments and groups within city government. The Seattle Design Commission's Handbook (version 10.01) offers a number of useful
design principles for capital improvement projects undertaken by the City. They include the following:
* Projects shall have a civic scale and character.
* Projects shall express the city's socio-cultural identity and diversity.
* Projects shall be sustainable over time.
Designers and reviewers alike should refer to the Handbook for more detailed explanations of these principles.
Seattle's Department of Construction and Land Use contains within its organization the City Design group that supports the work of the Design Commission and the neighborhood Design Review Boards. City Design has developed Design Review: Guidelines for
Multifamily & Commercial Buildings (rev. November 1998, and herein after referred to as Guidelines) to guide the review of private-sector projects. Nevertheless, a number of these design guidelines are applicable to the design of Parks' community
centers. Of particular application are the following guidelines, arranged in the order in which they appear in the Guidelines:
A. Site Planning:
A-1: Responding to Site Characteristics
A-7: Residential [or Public] Open Space
C. Architectural Elements and Materials
C-1: Architectural Context
C-2 Architectural Concept and Consistency
C-3 Human Scale
C-4 Exterior Finish Materials
D. Pedestrian Environment
D-1 Pedestrian Open Spaces and Entrances
D-3 Retaining Walls
D-4 Design of Parking Lots Near Sidewalks
D-6 Screening of Dumpsters, Utilities and Service Areas
D-7 Personal Safety and Security
E. Landscaping
E-1 Landscaping to Reinforce Design Continuity with Adjacent Sites
E-2 Landscaping to Enhance the Building and/or Site
E-3 Landscape Design to Address Special Site Conditions
Designers and reviewers alike should refer to the Guidelines for more detailed explanations of these guidelines for good design.

PARKS AND RECREATION
INITIATIVE FOR SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
SEPTEMBER 10, 2001
Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) played a major role in using recycled materials products and waste recycling during the implementation of the Community Center Levy projects in the 90's. Our goal is to continue recycling and to increase our
participation in sustainable design and construction.
In Planning and Development Division (PDD), sustainability is the guiding principle for project development, and incorporated into projects from the earliest stage. Sustainable design principles will be included in all phases of project development;
from design, demolition, disposal, construction, operations and maintenance.
PDD's range of project include buildings and structures such as playgrounds and new community centers as well as property improvements such as landscape restoration and multimillion dollar landslide mitigation projects. Given that some of these types of
projects are very difficult to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Ratings, PDD's goals are to substantially improve what we can accomplish by using the following guidelines:
1. New buildings of more than 5,000 square feet of occupied space, planned for construction after 2001, and with budgets that have included costs required to achieve a minimum LEED rating of "Silver" (33 points) using the US Green Building Council's
LEED Rating System, will do so. Those projects funded prior to 2001 will achieve the highest rating practicable within available project funds.
2. Major remodeling projects of more than 5000 square feet and includes site related issues, water use and waste, renovations of energy and water, materials and finishes, and items that affect indoor environmental quality will strive to meet the goal
of receiving the maximum number of credits practicable within funds available.
3. Remodel projects and small projects, in which the scope of work does not include all five categories, is impossible to meet the "Silver" rating. For these projects, PDD will meet the intent of the LEED criteria within the section that pertains to
the scope of work to the maximum extent practicable. The emphasis on these projects will be on designing more sustainability. For example, if the scope of work is to replace an HVAC system, the Energy and Materials categories of LEED would apply. The
project should strive to obtain the applicable credit for Energy, optimize energy performance and eliminate HCFC and Halon. For Materials, recycle and salvage demolition and construction waste, try to meet the intent of these applicable credits only,
within the budget and scope of the project. This same approach could be applied to other narrowly focused renovations, such as painting, replacing office partitions, upgrading or replacing irrigation systems, replacing plumbing fixtures, etc. Be sure to
check the City's current incentive programs or the Office of Sustainability and Environment Conservation Fund to determine if the project is eligible for financial assistance.
4. For a project over 5,000 square feet but is limited in scope, the same process described above should be used. However, since the 5,000 square feet threshold is what is stated in the policy, the project manager should make the case as to why
(based on the limited scope) the project should use the above process as opposed to meeting the minimum 33 LEED points.
5. Consultant Selections: In order to assure retaining consultants that are motivated, knowledgeable, and experienced in sustainable design and construction, include appropriate language in the advertisement for proposals, interview/evaluation, and
contractual agreements. Take full advantage of the technical assistance offered by the City departments, such as SPU and City Light.
6. Whenever the Office of Sustainability and Environment is offering LEED related workshops and training, we should send our project managers to become familiar with sustainable practices.
