– City of Agoura Hills
Envicom Corporation has been retained by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to assist with site planning, entitlement and CEQA compliance for a new headquarters campus in the City of Agoura Hills. The site includes the creation of a contemporary-style office campus, which would provide the growing Foundation a central headquarters to operate, maintain, and coordinate it's long-term charitable projects. The project intends to incorporate design elements that would maximize energy efficiency, create an inviting work-space, and achieve a LEEDs Platinum Certification.
Envicom kicked off the project with preparation of technical studies and an Environmental Constraints Analysis (ECA) to inform the project design team of the constraints and opportunities associated with development of the site. The ECA was utilized by the team to create a project layout that showcases the site natural resources and is “light-on-the-land”.
Throughout an extensive design process, Envicom Corporation prepared a CEQA analysis for the project, and continued to work with the design team to provide feedback regarding significant impacts. This process allowed the design team to refine the project prior to submittal of the application and reduce or avoid impacts, which would have required costly mitigation and potentially hindered project approval. This internal feedback loop is an example of Envicom’s interactive approach to environmental consulting illustrating our extensive experience and comprehensive understanding of the CEQA and entitlement processes.
