illustrate the feasibility of the site for a new courthouse, a future County building for District
Attorney, Probation, Public Defender and Alternative Public Defender, on-site parking for the
buildings and a possible future parking structure. The master plan will also serve to advance the
County and Courts efforts in assisting the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in fiinding
the fiitu_re courthouse project. Nacht & Lewis' services will include the following:
Review existing documentation on the site and the space program for the courthouse.
Assess the site's ability to accommodate the proposed uses and develop site options that
address the required building areas, parking needs and internal circulation as well as the
existing train depot.
Attend one meeting in Ukiah to review the site options with representatives from the
City, County and Courts and solicit comments. Revise the preferred option as required.
