Alviso Adobe Renovation, Project Number 5055

Alviso Adobe Renovation, Project Number 5055

The project proponent, the City of Milpitas, proposes phased improvements to the Alviso Adobe ranch complex. The proposed improvements would (1) renovate and preserve the Alviso Adobe and its associated outbuildings and grounds; and, (2) convert the buildings and surrounding lands into a historic park and museum. All improvements would be conducted in accordance with the "Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation & Illustrated Guidelines for Applying the Standards." Phase I would result in structural and seismic upgrades to the Adobe. It would also renovate the complete exterior of the Adobe. Phase II involves public access and site improvements, including vehicular access, a new parking lot (and its associate drainage improvements), a picnic area, restrooms, new landscaping and lighting, and an apricot orchard and herb garden. Phase III would renovate the interior of the Adobe, including electrical and plumbing upgrades, replacement of its interior wooden flooring, and renovation of the 1920s kitchen. Phase IV consists of the complete renovation of the interior and exterior of various outbuildings and the construction of a small new catering kitchen in a renovated outbuilding. Due to the uncertainty of the availability of funding for the project, the City is conteplating four different site access, circulation, and parking options for Phase II. Depending on the amount of funds the City ultimately has access to, any one of the four site access, circulation, and parking options could be constructed during Phase II.
