CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. 26
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: PHASING AND ESTIMATES FOR THE BALBOA VILLAGE
PEDESTRIAN AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PLAN (VILLAGE
PLAN) AND THE BALBOA PIER PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. Direct staff to solicit proposals for professional services to:
1. Proceed with the design of the Balboa Pier Parking Lot per the Village Plan and
the Austin -Foust Associates concept plan.
2. Proceed with the design of Balboa Boulevard from A Street to Adams Street per
the Village Plan and Public Works Design Criteria for streets and drainage.
3. Proceed with the design for the Village Plan pedestrian and streetscape
improvements.
B. Direct staff to proceed with environmental clearances and permits.
C. Direct staff to pursue forming a property owner - funded Underground Utility
Assessment District.
D. Direct staff as to the preferred option for the upgrade of Peninsula Park.
DISCUSSION:
Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Plan (Village Plan)
The Village Plan was prepared by Planning and Urban Design Resources and
presented to the City Council during the December 13, 1999, Study Session. Staff was
directed to review the improvement plan, prepare a cost estimate, propose a funding
plan, and prepare a project schedule.
The Village Plan shows enhanced streetscape improvements for an area roughly
bounded by Edgewater, Adams Street, Ocean Front and A Street. It includes
improvements on Balboa Boulevard from Adams Street to A Street, as well as within a
portion of Peninsula Park adjacent to Main Street.

Coupled with the Village Plan is the proposed upgrade of the Balboa Pier Parking Lot
per the concept plan prepared by Austin -Foust Associates. The parking lot concept
plan was approved by the City Council in Study Session on October 25, 1999.
This parking lot plan, in addition to the planned street and drainage improvements
along Balboa Boulevard, will be combined with the Village Plan so they can be
designed and environmentally cleared as one project. The combined design project will
be submitted to the Coastal Commission in one application for overall approval. The
construction can be phased as funding becomes available.
The project is divided into 3 phases. Phase 1 would construct the Balboa Pier Parking
Lot improvements, the Pier Plaza improvements, the Main Street connection to the A
Street Parking Lot, and the Balboa Boulevard improvements. Phase 2 (which could be
split into sub - phases depending on funding) would construct the Balboa Village
streetscape improvements from Ocean Front to Edgewater. Phase 3 is a future project
to construct improvements along Edgewater.
The Village Plan also will require the acquisition of the 3000 square foot parcel on the
southwest corner of Bay Avenue and Washington Street for parking.
The Public Works Department reviewed the Village Plan traffic circulation concept and
believes the following changes will be necessary:
1. The Village Plan calls for widening the sidewalk on both sides of Balboa Boulevard
from 6 (or 8) feet to 14 feet. The resulting 40 -foot street width (curb to curb) would
yield 4 lanes, each 10 -feet wide requiring vehicles in the outside lanes to drive in the
2 -foot gutter. Both outside lanes will be widened 2 feet to provide for a 10 -foot
driving lane width. This modification would still allow for 12 -foot wide sidewalks
along Balboa Boulevard.
2. Proposed angle parking on Balboa Boulevard will have a severe impact on traffic flow
and will need to be eliminated. The angle parking would reduce Balboa Boulevard to
one lane westbound and vehicles waiting for someone to leave or motorists backing
out of a stall would block all traffic exiting the peninsula.
3. Several parking spaces near A Street need to be deleted in order to ensure access to
County Sanitation District facilities.
4. The plan proposes to eliminate two, well -used commercial loading zones on Bay
Avenue. At least one loading area must be maintained or commercial vehicles will
be forced to park in a traffic lane.
5. During the design phase when precise dimensions of parcels and streets have been
determined, adjustments in the plan will be made to conform to the City's design
standards.

With regard to an on -going odor problem at Bay Avenue at Washington Street, staff
recommends that methane abatement measures be incorporated into the design of the
streets.
As an additional consideration, staff recommends that property owners be asked to
participate in forming an Underground Utilities Assessment District to complete the
upgrades in this neighborhood. The estimated cost of the assessment district is
$1 million. The cost of the assessment district is not considered in the cost for the
Village Plan.
Total Project Cost
A cost estimate was prepared for Phase 1 (Balboa Pier Parking Lot, Pier Plaza,
connecting driveway to 'A' Street Parking Lot, and Balboa Boulevard) and Phase 2
(Balboa Village streetscape, excluding Edgewater). Costs for Phase 3 improvements
along Edgewater are not included in the estimate. Quantities were estimated using the
Balboa Village Improvement Plan prepared by Planning and Urban Design Resources
and the Balboa Pier Parking Lot concept plan prepared by Austin -Foust Associates.
The approximate cost for construction and property acquisition is $5 million. This
estimate contains construction items that may not have been included in previous cost
estimates such as demolition and removal costs, paving on Balboa Boulevard,
irrigation, lighting conduit and conductors, methane abatement, and traffic signal
modifications. This estimate also includes costs for property acquisition.
The construction and property acquisition costs for Phases 1 and 2 are modified as
shown in Table 1 to arrive at the Total Project Cost.

The current budget provides off- street parking funds and CDBG funds totaling $600,000
for the Balboa Pier parking lot and peninsula revitalization. $500,000 of this budgeted
amount will be used for the preparation of the engineering design documents,
environmental documents, and permit applications. The design would be prepared for
both phases of the project at the same time. Design would begin in spring 2000. The
design, environmental clearances, and permitting would be completed by July 2001.

Construction would begin on Phase 1 in FY01 -02 at an estimated cost of $2,900,000.
Phase 2 construction costs are approximately $4,100,000. Table 2 shows the funding
for Phase 2 split over two fiscal years beginning in FY02 -03.
The proposed improvements within Peninsula Park include upgrading the pavilion
gazebo to a bandstand and providing uplighting on the existing palms. The cost for
these improvements, as shown in Table 2, is $80,000. Another option envisions a more
extensive refurbishment of the park to include a grass area around the bandstand for
outdoor seating, relocation of the flight monument, new irrigation system, new
landscaping, and new hardscape. While additional conceptual design is required to
define costs, a rough estimate of cost ranges from $250,000 to $350,000.
Maintenance Costs
The cost for providing an enhanced level of landscape maintenance within the business
district, including frequent pruning, daily litter removal, maintenance of 'color areas, and
weekly adjustment of the irrigation, is approximately $1,200 per month.
While additional review is required, it appears that the pavement and sidewalk
enhancements will require increased routine maintenance to keep the surfaces clean.
The cost per day for a steam cleaning crew and pollutant disposal is approximately
$1,000. At 1 day per month the cost would be approximately $12,000 per year.
Funding Sources
As outlined in the December 13, 1999, staff report to the Mayor and City Council, the
additional project costs can be partially funded from the Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), the Off - Street Parking Fund, and the Neighborhood Enhancement
Reserve Fund as follows:
The City may borrow against future CDBG allocations for approximately
$2,000,000.
The Off - Street Parking Fund has a FY 1998 -1999 balance of $690,000, of which
$430,000 is committed to the Balboa Pier Parking Lot.
The Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve Fund has a FY 1998 -1999 balance of
$479,000, with anticipated annual receipts of approximately $240,000.
4. It is anticipated that $700,000 in Gas Tax funds will be available in FY 2001 -2002
for roadway related improvements.

Parking Revenue Bond
In order to implement all of the Village Plan within 4 years, the City Council may wish to
consider the use of revenue bonds or a similar financing tool to fund a portion of the
project costs. In the past, the City has utilized new or increased revenues from a
project to pay for the bonds. While the meters for the full length of the Peninsula
generate approximately $1 million annually, including the $240,000 that is directed to
the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve, this project will result in minimal additional
revenue due to the small number of meters being added. Should the City Council
decide to use meter revenues to repay bonds, other General fund projects will need to
be adjusted to offset the repayments. If $2.67 million were raised through the issuance
SUBJECT: Phasing and Estimates for the Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Plan and Pier Parking Lot
Redesign
February 22, 2000
Page 7
of a revenue bond at 7.5 %, the semi - annual payments would be approximately
$150,000 for 15 years. After FY 2003 -2004, the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve
Fund could be reused to payoff the bond rather than the general fund. This would
obligate Neighborhood Enchancement funds generated from the entire peninsula to
one area of improvement for 15 years.
Project Schedule
Assuming the City Council approves initiation of the project and then authorizes design
contracts in April 2000, construction could begin on Phase 1 by fall 2001. A conceptual
schedule is shown as an attachment. The schedule is based on the following:
1. Environmental Clearance
A 4 -month period to hire an environmental professional, prepare the
environmental documents, a 30 -day public review period and final approval on a
mitigated negative declaration. This will be done concurrently with the design.
2. Design Engineering
A 9 -month period, concurrent with the Environmental Clearances procurement,
to hire a civil engineering firm and prepare the design drawings and
specifications.
3. Coastal Commission Permit
A 6 -month period after completion of the design is expected for the application to
be agendized for Coastal Commission hearing and approval. The Coastal
Commission requires signed plans prior to starting the review process.

PROPOSAL: Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Plan.
SUMMARY: Review design alternatives as presented by the design consultant for the
Balboa Village Pedestrian Plan. Review phasing and funding plan
presented by staff.
SUGGESTED
ACTION: 1. Provide direction to staff on a design alternative to present for City
Council consideration at a regular meeting; and
2. Provide direction to staff on the phasing and funding plan.
• Background
On April 30, 1999 the Promote Revitalization of Our Peninsula (PROP) City Council Sub -
Committee recommended the development of a Balboa Village Pedestrian Plan. The objectives of
the Plan were to improve the pedestrian links between the Balboa Pier Lot (Beach front) and the
commercial uses in the village (Bay front), widen the sidewalks on Balboa Boulevard and
Washington Street, and maintain or improve the amount of parking close to the theater, restaurants
and stores.
Discussion
Staff has worked with Mr. Ron Baers of Planning and Urban Design Resources to develop an
improvement plan. Mr. Baers has presented his design recommendations to community
associations, business representatives, various city staff, and PROP. The PROP committee has
reviewed these plans and recommended that the full Council review them at a Study Session. In
response to some staff concerns regarding angled parking and turning movements, Mr. Baers has
developed a second design alternative. The Plans, a narrative summary, and budget estimates
prepared by Mr. Baers are attached.
Staff has prepared a list of funding opportunities for the three implementation phases recommended
by the consultant. The recommendation is that Phase One include the Balboa Boulevard Right of
. Way and everything south (to the ocean front), Phase Two would include everything in between
1,
Balboa Village Pedestrian Plan
December 13, 1999
Page I
Balboa Boulevard and Edgewater, and Phase Three would included all Edgewater improvements.
Total estimated funding for all phases of improvements is approximately $3,290, 000. 0
Funding Opportunities
Three sources of funding other then the general fund are available for this project — Community
Development Block Grants, the Off - Street Parking Fund, and the Neighborhood Enhancement
Reserve Fund. These are the same funding sources that were presented to the City Council with the
recommendations for the Balboa Peninsula Financing and Community Outreach Program on April
28 1997. The Council passed several motions following the recommendations in the plan, the
major exception being the elimination of the redevelopment agency as a possible funding source.
The following table shows the cost estimates for each phase as well as identified funding
opportunities. The figures in the table assume that construction would begin in fall 2000 about the
same time as the Balboa Pier Lot.
The total CDBG commitment for the project would be $1,989,000 over the three years. In order to
accomplish this the City could borrow against future CDBG allocations by securing a Section 108
loan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The 108 program allows you to
borrow up to five times the amount of your annual entitlement. The City currently receives about
$500,000 annually, meaning that we could borrow up to $2,500,000. Repayment can be extended
up to 20 years. Of our $500,000 entitlement, there are approximately $250,000- 275,000 available
to fund economic development projects annually. This would require a minimum ten to eleven year
commitment to repay the loan. A longer repayment term would leave some funds available for
annual allotment. These amounts do not include interest on the loan, but the fund does use below
market rates.

Page 2
The Off - Street Parking Fund could be used to fund additional improvements to the Balboa Pier Lot
• as well as the A Street and Palm Street/Bay Avenue Lots for a total of $200,000. The fund had a
FY 98 -99 balance of $690,000 of which $400,000 is committed to the Pier Lot. The total cost of
the Pier Lot project is estimated to be $663,000. This fund should be replenished, but with half the
amount as before. The other half is now going to the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve Fund.
Finally, the Neighborhood Enhancement Reserve Fund could be used to fund the remaining costs,
approximately $1,100,000, including any portions that may not fit the requirements of the CDBG or
Off - Street Parking Fund guidelines. The fund had a FY 98 -99 balance of $479,000 with anticipated
annual receipts of $240,000. This would leave the fund with an approximate balance of $339,000
after the 2002 -03 fiscal year.

THE BALBOA PERFORIM•ING— '!:_ - -I YCLERK,
CITY Y CRT BEACH
ARTS THEATER FOUNDATION
November 18, 1999
The Honorable Dennis O'Neil
City Council Members
City of Newport Beach
3330 Newport Blvd.
Newport Beach, CA 92660
Dear Mayor O'Neil and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
The Balboa Performing Arts Theater Foundation Board of Directors heartily applauds
• your recent approval of the Balboa Pier Parking Lot redesign project. Its implementation
will be of great benefit to the theater and our patrons.
We write now to urge your support for a complementary project that we believe will also
be of crucial importance in making the Balboa Village neighborhood attractive to theater
patrons. Architect Ron Baers, who is also a member of this board, has created the Balboa
Village Pedestrian and Streetscape Implementation Plan to renovate the downtown area.
Widening pedestrian areas, providing additional lighting and graceful amenities including
planters, street trees, enhanced paving, and benches, will unquestionably increase the
ambiance of the Balboa Village, encouraging visitors and residents to enjoy the
neighborhood and patronize our fellow merchants.
These improvements will be of significant assistance in welcoming patrons to the Balboa
Performing Arts Theater on their first and, hopefully, many return visits.
Thank you for your continuing support and consideration of this plan. Date
Copies Sent To:
Sincerely yours, % ^

We as residents and business owners want to thank you for the many hours you have
dedicated to the tamished jewel, Balboa Village. We are anxiously looking forward to
our new sidewalks, signage, roads, parking lots, landscaping and of course underground
utilities.
After attending many meetings involving our selves in discussions we wanted to come
this evening and "thank you" in person. Since deadlines on our paper came faster than we
thought we will not be able to.
We just want you to know we appreciate all your hard work on downtown Balboa!
Thanks again.
