Additional information

Risk Category 4

Risk Categories are assigned to buildings to account for risks and consequences to building occupants in the event of a building failure

The Police Station is required to meet Risk Category 4 standards

Higher risk categories require higher design criteria and therefore higher cost

Lower risk categories compromise essential community services necessary to cope with an emergency situation

Testing is in process to determine if any of the existing concrete meets these standards.  If it does not, upgrades will need to be made.

Community Goals and Values

Manzanita Listens revealed several themes that are important to the community.

These include:

  • Getting the most value for their investment
  • The community wants a city hall that is durable, adaptable, functional and efficient
  • They want a building able to withstand coastal conditions and that is resilient in the event of an earthquake
  • Matching the unique culture and norms of the community
  • Being environmentally sustainable

The Manzanita City Council is committed to incorporating these themes
as it implements all phases of the city hall project.

Together, we will build a city hall that:

  •  Reflects the culture and diverse values of our community
  • Creates an inspiring workspace for our staff
  • Provides for user-friendly, efficient customer service
  • Embraces innovation
