Vista Business
Center
Voit Development Company contracted with CFA in July 2004 to provide preliminary and final design for a ± 15-acre industrial business center. The site encompasses two parcels, located south of Prater Way on the west side of Vista Boulevard in the City of Sparks. The proposed business center is an infill project on a vacant lot within the approved Southern Pacific Industrial Park. The proposed development consists of four separate buildings with 32 individual units ranging in size from 5,000 to 17,000 square feet. The total building area for the four buildings will cover 270,552 square feet. CFA is providing planning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and surveying services for the project.

Mountain View
Corporate Center
Mountain View Corporate Center is a 39-acre business park in Southwest Reno immediately west of U.S. 395 (I-580) and south of Del Monte Lane. The maximum allowable building square footage is 443,000 square feet, which is distributed between several buildings that range from one– to three-stories in height. The property is within a Specific Plan District and, as a result, a Design Standards Handbook was developed and approved by the city. The Handbook addresses landscaping, buffering, signage, lighting, fencing, and architecture.
Evans Creek runs through the property and conveys stormwater through the site. The creek was restored, and the open space along the creek connects the business park with Anderson Park to the west. The creek restoration received an award in 2004 from the Washoe County Design Review Committee. |

Los Altos Medical Center
CFA’s landscape architects worked with the project architect, Lundahl & Associates, on this two-acre medical center located east of the intersection of Los Altos Parkway and Vista Boulevard in Sparks. The project consists of two medical buildings adjacent to residential on three sides. Since screening was essential, the majority of the plantings were placed around the site perimeter.

Social Security Administration Facility
CFA was responsible for the civil and landscape design for a new federal office building on Vassar Street near Harvard Way. The project included a 22,000 square foot single-story building on a 2-acre site with associated parking and security fencing. The building is located in a floodplain which required the use of flood protection measures. The site is located in an area of town that has inadequate storm drain facilities, which resulted in the use of on-site underground containment to mitigate the stormwater flow increases that resulted from the development of the parcel. |

DEA Office Building at South
Meadows
CFA contracted with SDA, Inc. in July 2003 to provide site design services for a new federal office building located within the South Meadows Business Park. CFA was charged with the task of providing a secure site for the employees of the Drug Enforcement Administration. CFA provided civil engineering, landscape architecture, construction observation, and surveying services. The civil engineering tasks included final design for grading, drainage, utilities, erosion control, and site improvements. Site access proved to be one of the major challenges of this project. Reinforced box culverts were designed to provide bridge access over existing drainage channels along Double R Boulevard and Technology Way. The landscape architectural design for this site had to meet the strict federal security requirements. This project required close coordination with the DEA, the City of Reno, Washoe County utilities, the Army Corp. of Engineers, and the South Meadows Business Owners’ Association. The project was completed in the summer of 2004.
