TITLE: Professional Services Agreement to Develop a Revitalization
Master Plan for Mariners' Mile
ABSTRACT:
Mariners' Mile has been identified as an area needing revitalization. With completion of
the study evaluating roadway capacity requirements for West Coast Highway, it is
appropriate to evaluate existing land use policies and regulations which may inhibit
revitalization of the area.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine that the action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because it will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly;
b) Award Professional Services Agreement to PlaceWorks in the amount of $206,922,
and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract;
c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 16BA-041 transferring $64,610 from Services
Professional & Technical NOC (Account No. 0105042-811008) to the Mariners' Mile
Highway Configuration/Land Use Review (Account No. 01001928-980000-15T06);
and transferring $51,770 from City Manager Professional Services (Account No.
01020005-811008) to the Mariners' Mile Highway Configuration/Land Use Review
(Account No. 01001928-980000-15T06).
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There is currently $90,542 available in the account designated for circulation and
planning efforts in the Mariners' Mile Highway Configuration/Land Use Review account.
Upon approval of the budget transfers stated above, there will be $206,922 available to
fund development of the Mariners' Mile Revitalization Master Plan.

In 2011, the City Council recognized the need to revitalize Mariners' Mile and
designated it as one of six "revitalization areas." Work in the other areas, including
Corona del Mar, Balboa Village, Lido Village, West Newport, and Santa Ana Heights are
well underway and in some instances completed. In 2014, the Congress for the New
Urbanism conducted a five day planning and design charrette focusing on Mariners'
Mile which tested new ideas to improve the corridor. As an extension of the Pacific
Coast Highway corridor study conducted by the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA), the City recently completed an assessment of roadway capacity needs and
alternative configurations for West Coast Highway between Dover Drive and Newport
Boulevard. The 2014 Bicycle Master Plan also provides a broad vision, as well as
strategies and actions, to improve conditions for bicycling throughout the City.
It is appropriate at this time to comprehensively evaluate the recently completed
studies, as well as existing land use policies and regulations, to identify potential
refinements or barriers to revitalizing the area. To assist in these efforts, a Request for
Proposals was distributed to twenty-eight consultants (including the consultants who
assisted in the charrette process) who have relevant expertise in this field. Following
the receipt of two proposals, Community Development and Public Works staff
interviewed both teams and recommends selecting PlaceWorks based on their land use
planning expertise and understanding of the City of Newport Beach.
The project scope includes the following tasks and will occur over a six to nine-month
process. A detailed scope is attached to the agreement provided as Attachment A.
• Public Engagement — including stakeholders interviews and workshops
• Evaluate existing policies & regulations — what's working, what's not
• Development standard changes or incentives
• Parking Management — is this an obstacle to redevelopment?
• Urban Form Visual Simulations of potential development scenarios
• Pedestrian and bike connections, as well as street design
• Public Meetings with Planning Commission and City Council
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

Task 1.2 Field Tour of Mariners' Mile Study Area
Preferably on the same day and following the kick-off meeting, we will participate
in a field tour of the Mariners' Mile study area guided by City staff. This will provide
the opportunity for staff to share their insights and observations about issues and
opportunities to be addressed in the planning process. To the extent feasible, we
recommend that the tour be accomplished primarily by walking, particularly in the
core areas flanking Avon Street. Logistically, we recognize that the entire corridor
is not walkable, requiring some areas to be toured in a van. We will work with City
staff to develop an itinerary of points to be observed, the route, and a guidebook
summarizing pertinent issues and planning objectives.

Task 1.3 Public Engagement Work Program
Placeworks will work with City staff in organizing, facilitating, and documenting
public outreach and engagement activities including three public workshops and
stakeholder meetings. The public workshops will be conducted at benchmarks
to discuss and receive input for key topics addressed in the work program (land
use, streetscape improvements, parking management, transfer of development
rights, and other). PlaceWorks will meet with staff to develop workshop agendas;
prepare Flyers and notices, presentation media, and input and comment forms; and
participate in their conduct. Meeting materials will include memoranda discussing
key project topics, plan maps and illustrative graphics, and PowerPoint presentations.
It is assumed that staff will be responsible for securing meeting venues, distributing
workshop flyers and notices, and preparing summaries of workshop input.
Additionally, PlaceWorks and with City staff will meet periodically with interested
stakeholders in the Mariners' Mile area to become knowledgeable of their objectives
for the area's future and possible development proposals, to test the practicality and
acceptance of ideas generated during the planning process, and to provide feedback
to help inform plans reflective of the vision and standards established for the area.
For property owners and developers, this process will be comparable to PlaceWorks
staff's role in providing input to the Ardell team for proposals in the Mariners' Mde
area and property owners in the Airport Area during preparation of the General
Plan approved in 2005. It is assumed that City staff will be responsible for securing
meeting venues, distributing agendas and materials, and preparing summaries of
B-2 CITY Of NEWPORT BEACH I MARINERS' MILE REVITALIZATION MASTER PLAN
meeting input. For the purpose of the budget, it is assumed that PlaceWorks will
participate in a maximum of eight stakeholder meetings.
Deliverables:

— Summaries of workshops and stakeholders meetings—issues addressed and
recommendations
Task 1.4 Project Administration and Schedule
After the kick-off meeting, PlaceWorks will prepare a project management plan
providing a detailed schedule of tasks, deliverables, and responsibilities; a system to
track, monitor, and report performance, protocols for submittal and review of work
products; and formats for submittal of invoices to the City. Tasks will be assigned
to staff weekly, progress reported monthly, and schedule reviewed and updated
periodically, The project management team will participate in regularly scheduled
conference calls or in-person meetings with City staff to review project progress and
schedule future tasks.
The project schedule will define the sequence and critical path for performance of
work tasks, including document submittal deadlines to the Cityy. City staff review
periods, and time frame for revision of draft documents in response to comments
received from staff. It will also establish the schedule for oversight committee
meetings, Planning Commission study sessions and public hearings, and City Council
hearings.

Task 2.5 Mobility and Connectivity
PlaceWorks will assess mobility and connectivity issues in the Mariners' Mile area
through a review of street, bicycle, and pedestrian improvement plans and existing
City policy documents, including the General Plan Circulation Element and Bicycle
Master Plan, and any other relevant documents as identified by City staff. Information
assembled in this task will be used in subsequent tasks to identify public realm
improvements that would enhance multimodal mobility and improve safety for all
modes throughout the Mariners' Mile area, as well as better connect the village to
the bayfront and community activities. This assessment will suggest the location
of potential routes, mitigations to existing constraints, and priorities for project
implementation.
Deliverables:
— Memorandum on mobility improvements for the Mariners' Mile area
Task 2.6 Parking
To determine proper utilization of parking in the Mariners' Mile area, we will assess
existing parking requirements in the City's Zoning Code; existing parking survey data
collected for the area; and planned near-term street improvements, including any
removal of on -street parking spaces as a result of these improvements. We will
assess the extent to which existing parking demands/utilization exceed or are less
than the number of code -required spaces, cumulatively throughout the area and for
selected land use categories. We will evaluate the extent to which existing parking
lots are not fully utilized and may offer opportunities to be linked with adjoining lots
for a more efficient parking layout. Based on the analysis in this task, a memorandum
will be prepared that will maximize parking utilization and may include modification
of existing parking code requirements in specific areas of Mariners' Mile.
Deliverables:
Memorandum assessing parking code requirements, identifying opportunities
for modifications and/or reductions to existing requirements
Task 2.7 Existing Conditions Report and Diagrams
An existing conditions report will be prepared to serve as the baseline resource and
reference for planning throughout the work program. The report will outline the
results of the existing conditions tasks, including land use, urban form, streetscape,
mobility/connectivity, parking, and policy and regulatory analyses. The findings will
be collected, mapped, and compiled into several existing conditions diagrams, which
will be used as references during the planning process, stakeholder meetings, public
workshops, Planning Commission study sessions, and City Council presentations.
Background information and findings documented in the existing conditions report
will be presented at a public workshop. We will engage the community in discussion
of the implications of these findings for planning the future of the Mariners' Mile
area. This will provide an important benchmark for developing and testing options

TASK 3.0 MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The PlaceWorks team will develop a comprehensive program of revitalization
strategies and implementation actions for the Mariners' Mile area in response to
findings of the existing conditions report. This will evolve through an iterative cycle
of:
» Consultant team workshops with City staff.
» Documenting preliminary revitalization strategies in topic -oriented discussion
papers (permitted/prioritized land uses, parking district, pedestrian and
streetscape design, transfer of development rights, and so on).
» Reviewing topic discussion papers in stakeholder meetings and public workshops.
» Revising strategies and actions based on stakeholder and public comments,
>> Conducting study sessions with the Planning Commission to review groups of
topic -oriented strategies.
» Finalization of strategies and actions for inclusion in the Master Plan.
Task 3.1 Vision Statement and Permitted Land Uses
The adopted General Plan's policy overview forthe Mariners' Mile subarea describes
a vision for evolution of the corridor into distinct retail, mixed-use, and visitor -
serving centers, with pedestrian -oriented improvements on inland properties and
a promenade along the harbor frontage. In this task, PlaceWorks will review and
confirm the appropriateness of this vision and the General Plan's goals, policies, land
use designations, and table of permitted uses and development densities/intensities
in light of the existing conditions analyses and input from community stakeholders
and a public workshop. If necessary, amendments to the text will be identified.
Additionally, we will review the list of allowable uses defined in the Zoning Code
and assess their appropriateness in the context of the General Plan and community
values, as well as the economic marketplace conditions. We will evaluate whether
the list needs to be more or less restrictive and more or less flexible based on these
factors. If changes are warranted, we will develop a list of proposed amendments.

Task 3.2 Urban Form and Development Plans and Standards
3.2.1 Development and Urban Form
PlaceWorks will develop schematic diagrams depicting potential layouts and
configurations for development in the Mariners' Mile area. These will reflect principles
for the physical form and character established in the vision statement, emphasizing
development of distinct places or districts such as the "village center," highway -
oriented corridor, and harbor -related corridor. A plan graphic will be prepared
depicting the elements around which buildings will be organized, such as streets,
pedestrian corridors, highway crossings, public open spaces/parks, and harbor -
oriented amenities. Building locations will be overlaid on this framework, depicting
their relationships to street frontages and adjoining properties, lot coverage, and
parking 4ocations. Initial concept plans will be presented at stakeholder meetings and
public workshops, and a final pBan selected and refined in response to comments
received.
3.2.2 Urban Form Visual Simulations
Building upon the base map developed in Task 2.3.2, PlaceWorks proposes to prepare
a series of visualizations that depict potential land -use scenarios. PlaceWorks will
develop a series of 3D point -of -view perspective visualizations that depict potential
development, building form and massing at build -out conditions, and potential
building envelopes (regulatory volumes) to illustrate the potential impacts to
viewsheds from residences along the bluffs to the harbor frontage and to viewsheds
from Coast Highway to the bluffs and to the harbor frontage.

identify key parcels representing opportunities for revitalization and develop concepts
for these reflecting the plans and standards developed in the preceding work tasks.
While generalized concepts will be identified for targeted properties throughout the
area, for the purposes of the budget we anticipate an interactive effort with property
owners of one or two key opportunity sites. This would be comparable to our
interaction with the representatives of the proposed development of the Ardell Yacht
properties during the 2006 General Plan process, where development proposals were
reviewed by the consultant and City staff and modifications recommended to achieve
intentions for use, site layout, and maintenance of viewsheds and pedestrian access
to Newport Harbor. We will work with City staff in selecting these and anticipate to
work in a comparable process for this task.

For the overall Mariner's Mile corridor, we will identify wayfinding, landscape
concepts, and signage that enhance Mariners' Mile's unique maritime identity.
Graphics—including a pedestrian circulation map, "zoomed -in" plan drawings,
up to two photo simulations, and cross -sections ---will be produced to illustrate
these improvements for the central area. Street sections only will be provided for
conceptual improvements to the overall corridor. All of these graphic inputs will be
useful in future review of public streetscape improvements as well as in procuring
funding for such projects. The strategies and actions will consider opportunities
and constraints for potential improvements. Since these improvements will likely be
proposed within state right-of-way, PlaceWorks will work with the City to address
future coordination with Caltrans.
Deliverables:
Screencheck discussion memo, with illustrations, in two parts: the pedestrian
network and streetscape design in the central study area and the overall
wayfinding and landscape concepts for the Mariner's Mile corridor

meetings and public workshops
Task 3.5 Bicycle Facilities
PlaceWorks will prepare recommendations for improvements to existing bicycle
facilities and new facilities in the Mariners' Mile neighborhood, presenting
information for the future network as a clear and attractive map and described in
concise language. Projects mentioned in the City's recently adopted Bicycle Master
Plan (BMP) will be incorporated into the effort to ensure consistency with City policy,
as well as identification of projects that will complete the bike network internally in
the neighborhood. Proposed bicycle facility improvements will also be coordinated
with near-term and future streetscape infrastructure improvements, including those
proposed in Task 3.4,
Deliverables:
Map of proposed bicycle facilities
Prioritized list of project improvements
Task 3.6 Parking Standards and Management Plan
Based on analyses conducted for Task 2.6, we will make recommendations on how
parking requirements can be updated to ensure adequate offsite parking is provided
while encouraging economic development and investment in Mariners' Mile.
Updated regulations that may be considered as part of the study include:
Revision of existing parking minimums
Incorporation of mixed-use or shared parking requirements
Revision of design or development review standards
Additionally, PlaceWorkswill determine the feasibility ofconstructinga parkingdistrict
and/or parking management plan, and will present a set of policy recommendations
that will best accomplish effective use of parking resources while maintaining
constituent support. We may also assess and discuss with the MMOC, after
discussion with City staff, the appropriateness of a range of best practce strategies
to complement the parking management plan for implementation in Mariners' Mile

Task 3.7 Transfer of Development Rights
The City's General Pian (Policy W 4.3) and Zoning Code (Chapter 20.46) allow the
transfer of development rights with Statistical Area H1, which encompasses the
project area for the Mariners' Mile Revitalization Master Plan. Under this task,
PlaceWorks will establish a framework for the possible use of transfer of development
rights from properties along the harbor frontage to inland properties within the
Master Plan project area. This will define eligible sending and receiving sites and
any necessary amendments to the Zoning Code to achieve an effective TDR program
specifically tailored to Mariners' Mile. As an option of the work program (described
subsequently), analyses would be conducted to address the following questions:
Given development standards defined by the General Plan and Zoning Code,
would near-term economic and market conditions support development that uses
the additional density or intensity provided by the standards?
Does the additional density or development intensity allowed by the development
standards generate an increase in residual land value that could support the
purchase of transferable development rights?
Is the one-to-one transfer ratio currently required for the transfer of development
rights adequate, or should the City adopt a specific transfer ratio(s) for the Master
Plan project area?
Deliverables:
- Draft TDR program recommendation report
Task 3.8 Stakeholder Meetings and Public Workshops
Concurrent with the preceding tasks, PlaceWorks will conduct up to eight stakeholder
meetings and participate in three public workshops, as described in Task 1.3. For these,
we will prepare memoranda describing working draft land use, streetscape, parking,
and other plans to receive feedback. A PowerPoint presentation will be developed to
guide discussion for each public workshop. Comments will be summarized, reviewed
with City staff, and considered in developing final Plan recommendations.
Defiverables:
- Meeting and workshop agendas and PowerPoint presentations
Memoranda discussing each revitalization element
Task 3.3 Planning Commission Review

about the future for a revitalized district. All of the work completed in the preceding
tasks will be integrated into a comprehensive package of illustrative concepts, plans,
guidelines, and procedures that will be submitted to the Newport Beach community
and elected officials for confirmation and ownership. But it will not stop there—
effectively, the publication of the Master Plan will serve as a "kick off" for carrying
out its strategies and regulations, establishing the momentum for real change.
Task 4.1 Prepare Administrative draft Mariners' Mile Revitalization Master
Plan
PlaceWcrks will prepare an administrative draft Master Plan for the City's review
and comments. Its content will integrate concept plans, standards, and procedures
developed in Tasks 3.1 through 3.7. It will include the following sections,
4.1.1 Introduction and Background Information
This section will describe the Master Plan's purpose and process for preparation,
community engagement, and approval and adoption process and will summarize
existing conditions, trends, constraints, and opportunities as developed in Task 2.0.
4.1.2 Users Guide
The Master Plan will have a diversity of users, including City staff, commissions, the
City Council, developers, property owners, business tenants, residents, and other
interested parties. We will prepare a guide explaining the applications of the plan for
each category of users. This will be written as a "howto" manual explaining content
and its application in guiding development, capital improvements, private and public
investments, and other activities. The guide will be robustly illustrated to facilitate
common understanding by all users.
4.1.3 A Vision for the Future of Mariners' Mile
As previously discussed, the General Plan establishes a vision for the future of
Mariners' Mile in the "Policy Overview." This expresses intentions for the area's
functional rale as three distinct districts, uses, urban form and character, walkability,
and relationships to the harbor and adjoining residential neighborhoods. During Task
3.1, PlaceWcrks will revisit and, if necessary, fine-tune the vision to ensure that it
corresponds to community values and conditions documented in the research phase
of the project. The vision statement will serve as the preamble for the Master Plan,
the basis from which all plan components are defined. It will be richly illustrated with
photographs and other imagery that visually convey elements of the vision.
4.1.4 Plans for the Built Environment
The Mariners' Mile Master Plan will incorporate text and diagrams guiding the
distribution, location, and extent of elements of the built physical environment.

coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage
