City_of_Santa_Cruz_Downtown_Site_Furnishing_Standards_Benches.pdf

The document is a site furnishing standards specification for the City of Santa Cruz Downtown area, focusing specifically on bench requirements for municipal infrastructure. The City has selected the Street Furniture "Classic Promenade Seat" as its standard bench model, specifying a custom 58-inch version with a center armrest. The bench will feature an aluminum frame with a powder-coated finish, aluminum woodgrain batten slats in Bush Cherry color, and will be mounted using an arch mounting method. The color specifications reference Pantone 539C and RAL: 5008, ensuring a consistent aesthetic across downtown installations.

The technical specifications provide detailed dimensional drawings and configuration options for the bench, including various mounting and installation possibilities. The document is part of a broader Downtown Site Furnishing Standards initiative aimed at creating a cohesive urban design approach. The standard is dated September 2022 and includes comprehensive cut sheets from the manufacturer (Street Furniture Australia) that provide precise technical details for procurement, installation, and maintenance. The specifications are intended to guide future downtown bench replacements and new installations, ensuring uniformity in municipal street furniture.
