Livingston Rec-Plex Project

The Livingston Rec-Plex Project, identified by solicitation number SPDR 2025-05, involves the phased development of a city-owned recreation complex on approximately 4.58 acres of land located at 641 6th St, Livingston, California. The project requires several discretionary entitlements, including a General Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Limited Industrial to Public Facility and a rezone from M-1 to P-F. Additionally, the project entails the closure of a portion of Seventh Street between C and D Streets and the closure of a public alley right-of-way to vehicular traffic between Sixth and Seventh Streets. The scope of work is planned for implementation in four phases as funding becomes available. Key deliverables include the construction of a 9,000 square foot recreation building featuring gym space, studio classrooms, and support areas, as well as the partial demolition of the existing Livingston Farmers Association warehouse. Site improvements will include new landscaping, a playground, parking lots, and the replacement of frontage sidewalks, with future plans for basketball courts and gathering spaces. Environmental compliance is managed under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Mitigated Negative Declaration concluding that no significant effects will occur provided specific mitigation measures are implemented. These measures include strict protocols for the accidental discovery of human remains and adherence to San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District standards. Project implementation also requires a thorough asbestos inspection per District Rule 4002 prior to any demolition or renovation. The project is overseen by the City of Livingston Community Development Department, with monitoring responsibilities assigned to the Project Engineer and Construction Manager.
