The RC is recalculated due to remodeling and use at the Monterey Youth Center. (17) Beds are deducted from Santa Lucia, due to the fact that this is a treatment facility operated by the Monterey Probation Department but separate from the Monterey Youth Center. The Leadership Unit was converted into laundry and storage reducing the RC by (4) beds. The RC is calculated as follows: 12 *T = Toilets; U = Urinals; W = Wash Basins; F = Fountains; S = Showers in unit. If "Total RC" appears in brackets ( ), it is not part of the facility's rated capacity. 7350 2016 2018 Monterey Youth Center LASE - 1 - J460 LAS JUV-05.dot (8/05) ROOMS EACH ROOM Each Room Size (L x W x H) FIXTURES* Unit # Room Applicable # RC Total or T U W F S COMMENTS Designatio Room Type Standards Beds RC Square/Cubic n s Feet beds “Honor Unit”, 49 beds “Big Dorm”, and 18 beds “Pinnacle Bay= 79 RC. RC for Pinnacle is increased from 15 to 18; RC increased from 76 to 79 (effective 8/27/04) During the 2006-2008 inspection the RC was changed to 75 to reflect that actual number of beds in usable space (areas not converted to storage). Santa Lucia Bay was converted from female camp beds to a treatment facility operated by the Probation Department during the 2000-2002 inspection cycle. During the 2006-2008 inspection cycle the treatment program relocated to another facility. Santa Lucia Bay was renamed Laguna re-established as camp beds during the 2008-2010 inspection cycle. In 2008 a remodel project to incorporate the “Missouri Model,” was initiated to convert the larger “Big Dorm” into two smaller dorms named Ventana and Gavilan. Upon completion the camp instituted a self cap at 60. BSCC RC was changed to 76 reflecting the potential maximum capacity as a result of the remodel. During the 2014 inspection, it was noted that the two rooms in Ventana had been re-numbered, that is now reflected in the LASE. 2016 2018: RC remains the same. No change- 76. Less beds were physically present (providing more space in dorm) however, beds are in storage if needed. *T = Toilets; U = Urinals; W = Wash Basins; F = Fountains; S = Showers in unit.
