• Required bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Homestead Road and internal to the site. • Reconstruction of stormwater management ponds to occur at the time that the existing main entrance road to the site is re- aligned. • Detailed site plans for buildings, parking, infrastructure, and roadways to be submitted with each Zoning Compliance Permit application. These and other stipulations of the Special Use Permit are important considerations as phasing plans are drawn for development of planned facilities over time. 4. REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES ON SITE The Southern Orange County Government Services Campus is an important and strategic part of the County's land holdings, and provides significant opportunities for needed expansion of facilities and services over time as Orange County's population grows. Orange County has been attentive to recent and expected trends, and needs for facilities. Following is a list of initiatives focusing demands and needs for facilities over the last decade: • 2000 Space Study, updated in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 • 2010 Space Needs Study • 2013 Orange County Facilities Report • 2014 Space Study Follow -up The most recent initiative is a recently completed 2015 Orange County Space Study, which builds upon previous work and comprehensively examines the County's current and projected space needs. Beginning in November 2014, it drew upon the collective experience and information provided by an assembled Space Study Work Group to do an inventory and assessment of existing facilities, project future demand, estimate needs for future space, and provide input into the County's CIP budget process. Key findings of the Space Study are: • Current space, overall, is generally adequate for current needs. • Some short -term adjustments to space are possible now. • Long -term, addition of space and facilities is needed. • A key opportunity for additional space and facilities is at the Southern Campus. • Southern Campus key points: • The Senior Center needs more space, and there is room for expansion. • Current infrastructure on site is inadequate for growth; proposed CIP project. • County needs that could be addressed on the Southern Campus include: ■ Redundant IT hub ■ 911 Center ■ Court facilities ■ Human Services Facilities ■ Educational /multi - purpose facilities. These findings, along with the collection of previous studies help clarify the opportunities and potentials for the Southern Campus property.
