New Police Headquarters TPD has conducted operations from the headquarters on Seventh Avenue since 1972. Over the past several decades, space constraints to support modern public safety services have continued to mount within the current building. The department has grown considerably in terms of the number of employees and the variety of services it offers to the community since moving into the current facility, which was originally designed for other purposes and is nearly 100 years old. During an evaluation of TPD’s current headquarters as part of its strategic planning process, it was identified that the future home for TPD needed to serve a much broader purpose and a new facility was needed. The vision for the new headquarters is that it will provide adequate space for TPD’s more than 400 officers and staff, meet current and future operational needs and expand the concept of a traditional police station by also incorporating a variety of publicly available features to serve residents. A multi-functional facility of this type will help police officers connect and build strong bonds with residents, a focus of TPD’s community policing efforts. Update (January 29, 2020) On Jan. 29, the Tallahassee City Commission unanimously selected the former Northwood Centre to be the future home of the Tallahassee Police Department's new headquarters. The second site under consideration – the Lake Bradford Road Wastewater Treatment Plant – will also be developed; the Commission voted unanimously to build a new Tallahassee Fire Department station at the location. Following significant community input and data analysis, the Northwood Centre, located at 1940 N. Monroe Street, was the recommended site by citizens and technical experts due to its central location, parcel size and accessibility, among other factors. This decision aligns with the objectives adopted in the City's 2024 Strategic Plan, which sets the target of beginning operations at the new facility by 2024. As part of next steps, the architect will develop conceptual drawings of the new TPD headquarters. Additional opportunities for community input will be scheduled as the project progresses.

Update (October 17, 2019) The list of proposed sites brought forth by the community for the new Tallahassee Police Department headquarters has been narrowed to two sites. Both are City-owned properties, which will avoid any additional costs associated with land acquisition. The two locations are: Lake Bradford Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, 1815 Lake Bradford Road

Northwood Centre, 1904 N. Monroe Street/514 W. Tharpe Street Citizen engagement will continue to drive the site selection process. A community meeting will be held for each site to garner additional input from neighbors, as well as the community at large. Additionally, during this stage of the process, preliminary site layouts and in-depth evaluations will be completed. Staff will then present a summary of findings, including a preliminary cost analysis, and seek direction from the City Commission on the final site selection. After authorization has been received, the architect will develop conceptual drawings of the new TPD headquarters. Update (September 17, 2019) After receiving considerable public input, applying the minimum required criteria and speaking with property owners, the following five properties are now being considered for the new TPD headquarters: Lake Bradford Road Wastewater Treatment Plant, 1815 Lake Bradford Road (City-owned)

Current Tallahassee Police Department, 234 E. 7th Avenue (City-owned)

Northwood Centre, 1904 N. Monroe Street/514 W. Tharpe Street (City-owned)

Florida Department of Children and Families Complex, 1317 Winewood Boulevard

Towne South Shopping Center, 2525 S. Monroe Street These short-listed properties will be brought before the City Commission for consideration at its October 16 meeting. Criteria All properties recommended will be evaluated based on the following criteria: Minimum of nine acres

Access (vehicular, pedestrian, public transportation)

Adequacy of infrastructure

Cost of land acquisition (sales price)

Appropriate surrounding land use

Proximity to other City facilities and functions

Zoning

Impact of redevelopment

Proximity to the City center Preference will be given to sites located within approximately two miles of the City center. Community Review Component Community Meetings – The architect, engineering and construction manager at risk team will conduct community meetings for the three short-listed sites. This will help determine whether or not there is broad community support for a location. The meetings will be held in relatively close proximity to the recommended sites. The City Commission will attend all meetings on the three short-listed sites to hear citizen input. As part of outreach, written notice of the pending community meetings will be provided to property owners and tenants within 1,500 feet of each property selected by the City Commission for consideration. In addition to the written notice, advertisements through all City of Tallahassee media outlets will be provided. Initial notice of the pending community meetings will be provided a minimum of two weeks in advance of the meeting. Site Concept Development – Based on community input received, the architect, engineering and construction manager at risk team will develop a concept for each of the three short-listed sites and indicate whether the site can address the community’s concerns and/or ideas for each location. Should a clear majority of area residents and stakeholders indicate the use is not desired, then the architect, engineering and construction manager at risk team will no longer consider the site. Development of concept plans could take up to 45 days to complete for each site. Community Review of Site Concepts – The proposed concept plans will be presented to the community for review. Notices will be provided consistent with the previous meetings. In-Depth Technical Analysis – At the conclusion of the community review, the architect, engineering and the construction manager at risk team will complete a more in depth technical analysis for each site. The technical analysis will include, but not be limited to, the following: Site size, configuration and topography, including the presence of any potential environmental concerns Identification of any need for a phase-one environmental assessment to be conducted due to previous uses of the property, any presence of endangered wildlife, etc. Utility infrastructure availability, capacities, etc., including power distribution grid, sanitary sewer system, potable water distribution system, connection to the City’s fiber optics loop, etc. A Preliminary Zoning Analysis to identify if the subject properties are currently developable for the intended purpose, what modifications to the current zoning may be required (if possible), if an amendment to the comprehensive plan would be required and, if so, what the timing requirements for such action would be A Land Development Regulation review to verify the site can accommodate the proposed development as it applies to maximum building heights, floor area ratios, impervious calculations, stormwater management requirements, setbacks, buffer zones, etc. Previewing the development concept illustrating how the proposed site could be realized in sketch format, not a final product Conceptual design development identifying Land development price Unique cost considerations (abatement, demolition, parking structures, buffer zones) Timeline required for development of each site Conceptual design cost estimate - This preliminary analysis will be completed and submitted to the City Commission for final direction The City Commission will rank the proposals and direct staff to begin negotiating the purchase of the top ranked property. Site Selection Process The site selection process is divided into two components: Potential Locations – Identification of properties that can, at a minimum, physically house the existing and future needs of TPD’s headquarters

– Identification of properties that can, at a minimum, physically house the existing and future needs of TPD’s headquarters Community Input – Determine the community’s acceptance of the facility in an area and assist with identifying other appropriate uses that could be considered on the site Potential Locations Identification of Properties – Receive site recommendations from the community Develop Short List of Properties – The construction manager team will evaluate and rank all submittals based on the afore mentioned minimum criteria and will provide a recommendation of five to 10 sites for public input and City Commission consideration.
