BACKGROUND Establishing a community center in the Canyon Country area of the City has long been a priority of the City Council. During the past year, staff has worked to identify potential space to house this type of a facility. The location selected for the Canyon Country Community Center, located on the corner of Flying Tiger Drive and Sierra Highway, is in an existing commercial building that is central to the Canyon Country community and is easily accessible by walking, biking or by use of public transportation. In January 2012, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department selected Jim Mickartz, Architect, to develop preliminary concepts for the interior space. Through a series of meetings with departmental staff, the concept was refined to meet the program requirements as well as the desired operational function and aesthetics. The concept was further refined during the development review process which involved the City's Planning, Building and Safety, and Development Services Divisions, as well as the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The final plans and specifications reflect comments received from all applicable agencies. This project also involved obtaining a Minor Use Permit (M.U.P.) which required mailing notices to all adjacent properties. The notice allowed adjacent property owners a 15 -day comment period per the City's Municipal Code. During this time the City received no comments. The agreement to lease the property was approved by the City Council at the July 10, 2012, City Council meeting. The new Canyon Country Community Center is expected to be operational in winter 2012 and will provide neighborhood seniors, adults, and youth with a variety of programs and activities. On August 13, 2012, the following bids were received by Purchasing: Contractor Tiffany's Construction John Burgeson Contractors, Inc United Construction Co.
