LAGUNA NIGUEL : Community Center Addition Considered
After seeing the city recreation staff struggle to operate in the cramped Community Center building and adjacent trailer in Crown Valley Park, the City Council has decided to investigate building an addition to the center.
The council agreed last week to pay Design Arc Architects $3,200 to study the feasibility of adding offices and a second community multipurpose room to the center.
In budget discussions this summer, officials recommended installing a rented, double-wide trailer to provide more room for the expanding recreation staff.
But the council rejected that idea, saying the money would be better spent studying and designing an expansion to the current building.
The city is considering adding 2,000 to 4,000 square feet of space to the community center. City Manager Tim Casey said the study should be completed in less than a month.
