HomeMy WebLinkAbout22 - Ad Hoc Committee on the Re-Use of City Hall SiteCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 22 July 27, 2010 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: City Manager's Office Dave Kiff, City Manager 949/644 -3002 or dkiff @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: Resolution 2010- : Creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site; Waiver of Council Policy F -14; Other Input on the Conceptual Planning Process for Lido Marina Village and Via Lido Plaza ISSUE: The City Council will consider designating an ad hoc committee to participate in a conceptual planning process to analyze potential land use alternatives that includes the City Hall site at 3300 Newport Boulevard, Lido Marina Village, and Via Lido Plaza. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt Resolution 2010- _ relating to the City Council Ad Hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site. 2. Appoint and to the Committee. 3. Waive provisions of Council Policy F -14 to allow the hiring of T. C. Collins and Associates Inc. as Project Manager for this effort. DISCUSSION: The current City Hall site at 3300 Newport Boulevard ( "City Hall Site ") will be vacated by City staff by late spring of 2012. At the same time, the Lido Marina Village area is in need of a comprehensive plan for revitalization. These circumstances, in conjunction with pending changes to the Via Lido Plaza shopping center make this an ideal time to develop several comprehensive land use concepts that consider all three parcels in concert with each other. While the proposal is for the landowners to equally participate in this conceptual effort, it is with the understanding that they each retain direct control over their specific parcel(s). The existing land use designations and retail and office uses on the Via Lido Plaza site remain appropriate for the location, but are ripe for major comprehensive tenant improvements and reconstruction. It is likely that the Lido Marina Village site will remain a mix of retail and office space, with possible residential uses added. A boundary adjustment between the City Hall parcel and Via Lido Plaza would facilitate redevelopment of Via Lido Plaza and the City Hall site more effectively by realigning the curved property lines and removing existing easements. The City Hall site can accommodate a wide variety of public uses — including such ideas as a community park, community center, temporary police station, or a police substation. It is likely that the City Hall Site will continue to include Fire Station #2, although its location within the site could change. Alternatively, non - public uses for the City Hall site may also be appropriate, such Creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site; Waiver of Council Policy F -14; Other Input on the Conceptual Planning Process for Lido Marina Village and Via Lido Plaza July 27, 2010 Page 2 as single family residential or multi - family residential, such as senior housing. Due to its location within the Coastal Zone, development of the City Hall Site will likely be subject to a Coastal Development Permit. To prepare for the effective redevelopment of the City Hall Site, the proposed Resolution envisions the establishment of a City Council Ad hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site to participate in this preliminary and conceptual planning activity that will provide insights about potential obstacles and opportunities for future changes to the areas shown below. 1s Zoning: Lido Marina Village - Via Lido Plaza - City Hall Site F ' t tl�S �O ' -f The owners of the Lido Marina Village and the Via Lido Plaza sites have tentatively agreed to retain Tim Collins (former member of the City's Harbor Commission) to serve as project manager of a conceptual planning process. The consultant would facilitate preparation of and distribution an RFP to retain a qualified planning firm to develop two concept plans for the Lido Marina Village, Via Lido Plaza and City Hall sites. The selected firm would receive a $35,000 stipend to prepare two different proposed concept plans for all three sites. Uses of the City Hall Site would at a minimum include: 1. A predominantly or wholly public use; and 2. A predominantly residential, retail, office, or mixed use. Creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site; Waiver of Council Policy F -14; Other Input on the Conceptual Planning Process for Lido Marina Village and Via Lido Plaza July 27, 2010 Page 3 City Hall Site -Public Use Alternative •0therUse Alternative Via Lido Plaza Lido Marina Village Two Concept Plans for the Area as a Whole Cooperatively, the owners of the Lido Marina Village and Via Lido sites and the City would each contribute up to $25,000 to fund the planning effort and provide the stipend. The City Manager has tentatively agreed to participate in this planning effort, pending equivalent commitment from the owners of the Lido Marina Village and Via Lido sites. Attached for Council review are the agreement for Mr. Collins and his proposed scope of services. To effectively participate in the planning effort, it is recommended that the City create a three - member Council ad hoc committee to represent the City. Included in that representation are at least four (4) public meetings as follows: Two open and public meetings with the City Council's ad hoc Committee on the re -Use of the City Hall Site and the Lido Marina Village area concept planning effort; One Council study session; and One regular meeting of the City Council. Each of the aforementioned meetings will be noticed and open to the public. The primary focus of the ad hoc Committee's duties would be the redevelopment of the City Hall site and creating a seamless and integrated plan with the private properties. The contracted planning firm and Tim Collins may work and meet separately with other owners and assist them in planning for future development of properties that we expect will result in a cohesive, development plan that appropriately integrates all the Lido Marina Village, Via Lido and City Hall sites regardless of the individual uses on each parcel. The proposed resolution creating the Committee reflects this understanding. Major Milestones Major milestones and tasks within the agreement for Mr. Collins are generally as follows: 1. Develop and distribute a Request for Proposals (RFP) to planning firms interested in receiving a single $35,000.00 stipend to engage the property owners (and, in the case of the City -owned land, the public) in developing 2 alternative concept plans for the Site (8- 2010). 2. Ranking, recommendation, and selection of the land planner by the three parties via consensus of the three parties' representatives (September 2010). Creation of an Ad Hoc Committee on the Re -Use of the City Hall Site; Waiver of Council Policy F -14; Other Input on the Conceptual Planning Process for Lido Marine Village and Via Lido Plaza July 27, 2010 Page 4 3. Funding of the stipend using the three parties' separate $25,000.00 contributions (9- 2010). 4. At least four open and public meetings with the selected land planner as described above. 5. Delivery of two written alternative concept plans for the overall planning area, including concepts and alternatives for the City Hall re -use site to the three parties not later than (November 17, 2010). 6. Preparation and support of a meeting of the City Council in January 2011, at which the City Council may direct staff to further consider and provide appropriate technical planning studies and environmental documentation for a final decision on the City Hall re -use site. Waiver of F -14 If the City participates in this process, it is considered a "minor project" under Council Policy F- 14 (a portion excerpted below). The Policy directs staff to make a consultant selection based on stated criteria and requires solicitation of proposals from at least three qualified consultants. To expedite the process, staff did not solicit other consultants for this project; therefore, this Agenda Item asks the Council to waive Policy F -14. Council Policy F -14 (excerpt) c. Minor Project -Anticipated fee under $30,000 i. The Department Director shall maintain current files on qualified consultants in appropriate categories. The Department shall contact at least three (3) qualified consultants and request them to submit a proposal. ii. The Department Director shall make a selection based upon the criteria noted in Section D(1)(a) of this policy and is authorized to execute a Professional Services Agreement reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Environmental Review: Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQK) Guidelines Section 15004(b)(2)(A) and applicable case law formation no environmental review is required at this time. The formation an ad hoc Committee is at the sole and absolute discretion of City and the City is not committing itself to any definite course of action on any future project. City retains its full authority and right to consider all feasible mitigation measures and alternatives for any future project, including a no project alternative. Public Notice: This agenda item has been noticed according to the Ralph M. Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the public meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
