EXHIBIT C DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS The Improvements consist of a three hundred (300) vehicle 3 level parking facility one hundred and twenty-four feet (124') wide by two hundred and seventy feet (270') long comprising one on grade level and two elevated levels. The structure shall be long -span, cast -in -place concrete with post -tensioned slabs and beams, cast -in -place columns, slab on grade with concrete foundations. The structure is a two bay 3 level parking facility designed for two-way traffic flow and 90-degree parking. The parking structure is designed as an above -grade "open" parking structure of Group S Division 4 Occupancy; of Type I fire resistive construction per the 2001 California Building Code. The primary use of the structure is to offset the parking lost by the sale of the adjacent property to the State Appellate Court. The ground floor will be designated for the self -parking of seventy (70) automobiles of Appellate Court Staff. 230 spaces will be provided on the two remaining elevated levels for general Civic Center parking. The northeast corner of the facility will be devoted to stairs, one elevator and the elevator machine room for the vertical circulation of pedestrians. A second stair will be located at the southwest corner of the parking facility. The vertical vehicle circulation is achieved by means of short ramps that rise one half floor Ievel before turning and rising another half level to the next Ievel. The short ramps are required because of the limited site available for the parking facility. The north end of the facility is depressed below grade one half level to allow vehicles entering the facility at the southwest corner at grade level to ramp up half a level a point one full level above the parking below at the north end. Vehicles entering on grade at the southeast corner will ramp down one half level to a point one full level below the parking above at the north end. Exhibit C
