29 29 What the Community Said Highlights Open Space flexible gathering space; seasonally programmable Animated ground floor uses Varied balanced mix of uses Strong Downtown Anchor compliments existing uses Easy Mobility & TDM Sustainable green development Local Serving extends Promenade vibrancy Nightlife-friendly A Special Place creative and iconic

30 30 What the Community Said Varying Opinions Parking Replacement parking only (339 spaces) Replacement parking + parking for new uses Maximize parking Height Tall enough to take advantage of ocean views Tall buildings are O.K. if it allows for more public benefits particularly open space Mix of Uses Desire for nightlife Desire for value-oriented retail Local-serving uses that appeal to families and people of all ages Residential

31 31 What We Studied - A Range of Potential Scenarios Varied uses, smaller and larger open spaces, varied height options, stepbacks, setbacks, mass, density, and intensity options, existing and varied zoning concepts - all in context 1 2

32 32 What We Studied - A Range of Scenarios Varied uses, smaller and larger open spaces, varied height options, stepbacks, setbacks, mass, density, and intensity options, existing and varied zoning concepts - all in context 3 4

33 33 Scenario 1 Utilize typical development parameters; incorporate value-oriented retail use with housing above Height: 56 ; FAR 2.25; Open Space 37,000 SF 5 th Street 4 th Street

34 34 Scenario 2 Full accommodation of existing zoning; with hotel, office, and residential uses Height: 84 /76 ; FAR 2.85; Open Space 38,500 SF 5 th Street 4 th Street

35 35 Scenario 3 Optimize FAR with Hotel, office, and residential uses with standard open space Height: 84 /76 /110 ; FAR 2.85; Open Space 38,500 SF 5 th Street 4 th Street

36 36 Scenario 4 Optimize open space with additional height; residential and hotel over retail uses Max. Height: 35 /56 /110 ; FAR 2.25; Open Space 44,750 SF 5 th Street 4 th Street

37 37 Lessons Learned Site can accommodate variety of uses, catalytic site, opportunity for vibrancy and northern anchor Flexible outdoor open space: a community benefit to nurture the opportunity for locals to gather Height exceptions with great architecture allow for increased open space Community benefits can be achieved with right development configuration

38 38 Lessons Learned Community would not support above grade parking Subterranean Parking is expensive but desired/needed in appropriate amount: $38k - $56k per space; $21k for automated long term parking Shared parking provides efficiencies and flexibility

39 39 Lessons Learned Uses with special needs Value oriented retail concerns about compatibility with many uses Residential - requires dedicated parking making shared parking less efficient Benefits by use Retail / Restaurant = sales tax, employment, contributes to overall Downtown vibrancy Hotel = employment, TOT revenue, supports restaurants & retail Office = employment, higher paying jobs, business retention, business taxes, supports Downtown restaurants & retail, supports jobs/ housing balance and trip reductions goals Residential = 24/7 vibrancy, trip reduction, opportunities for stable residential base

40 40 Lessons Learned Planning for circulation and alternative transportation are critical Realizing great architecture requires communication and vision
