At this time, the property owners are requesting their Owner Participation Agreement be amended. Recommendation: 1) Direct staff to negotiate an amendment to the existing Owner Participation Agreement. 2) Direct staff to process a revised Precise Plan of Street Alignment reducing the ultimate right of ,%2y for Walnut Avenue between Main and Third streets from eighty to seventy feet. 3) Direct staff to prepare an amendment for Agency consideration by no Iater than August 1, 1994. 4) Direct the City Attorney to concurrently continue its prosecution for code violations. Fy Analyst On February 6, 1989, the Redevelopment Agency entered into an Owner Participation Agreement with the Adel and Mohammed Zeidan for the rehabilitation of their building located at 126 Main Street (formerly the Standard Market). That Agreement called for the Agency to provide a Rehabilitation Grant in the amount of $83,625 (without the participation of California Resorts). If California Resorts were to participate, as originally envisioned five years ago, they would have contributed an additional $62,500, providing for a maximum grant total of $146,125. California Resorts has since sold their interest in the adjacent Pierside Pavilion complex, and stated that they have no intention of contributing to this project. i�ory- Summer of 1989 - The participants determined that it is was not economically feasible to rehabilitate their existing structure. To qualify as a rehabilitation, they would be required to maintain their existing non -reinforced masonry walls. The participants concluded that the expense of shoring up these walls during construction would be cost prohibitive. City staff then informed the participants that if they demolished and built new, they would be required to dedicate 10 feet on Walnut Avenue and 5 feet on Main Street to comply with the adopted ultimate rights of way, just as the new surrounding developments have done. Fall 1989 - The participants also did not find the option of providing street dedications feasible, and proposed an alternative option. This third option entailed California Resorts purchasing the two, 25 foot lots owned by a third party, located between the Zeidan's parcels and California Resorts property (site map attached). The proposal would have California Resorts acquire the third -party parcel, and sell 10 feet of it to the Zeidan's at a discounted price (subsidized by the Agency), to make up for the 10 feet lost on Walnut . Avenue. California Resorts' architects would design the entire remaining 225 feet of frontage on Main Street so its facade was compatible with the design of the newly constructed Pierside Pavilion development. Agency staff conceptually agreed to the proposal, and committed to supporting it if the participants could agree upon an economically feasible land deal with the third -party parcel owners. After several months of unsuccessful good faith efforts to negotiate for the purchase of the third party parcel, the participants concluded that this option too, was not economically viable. On December 19, 1989, a fire occurred at the subject property, and the participants relocated to a new location for the Standard Market operation. They eventually moved their market (now called Ocean Pacific) to the 200 block of Main Street in the Oceanview Promenade project. 3 _.r Prosecution for Dangerous Building - Beginning in December of 1990, the city's Community Development Director began Noticing the property owners of the potential danger their building posed. He directed them to submit plans for either repairing or demolishing the structure in a timely fashion. Further Notices were sent on; March 15, 1991, January 9, 1992, and a "Final Notice" was issued on March 26, 1992. This Final Notice informed them to either submit drawings to repair the building or to pull a demolition permit within 30 days. The property owners did not perform, as ordered. The matter was referred to the City Attorney's office for further action. The Zeidan's were arraigned on Thursday, June 25, 1992, at West Orange County Municipal Court for violation of Huntington BeaQh Municipal Code, Section 17.12.010 and Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, Section 302. The court granted a Disposition and Reset scheduled for July 23, 1992. Since that time, there have been at least six additional court appearances, and each time the Zeidan's have successfully obtained an extension. Their next court date is scheduled for June 9, 1994. If the Agency authorizes staff to initiate negotiations as recommended, the City Attorney Office will concurrently prosecute since the existing building poses ongoing exposure to the public. Notification of OPA Default - On October 16, 1992, Agency staff informed the participants that they were in default of their OPA with the Agency. The participants did not respond. On January 8, 1993, staff again notified the participants of their default, and enclosed a draft of a staff report requesting the Redevelopment Agency to take the appropriate actions to terminate their OPA. This Request for Action was never agendized. To date, the primary obstacle that keeps the participants from moving forward with construction of the new building is the requirement to dedicate 10 feet of their 50 foot parcel for widening Walnut Avenue. Recently, however, the participants contracted a traffic engineer to prepare a report which illustrates that with down scaling the development downtown, Walnut Avenue need not be ultimately widened to 80 feet in this location. (Report Attached). Preliminary indications from our Public Works Department is staff concurrence. The location of the participants' property is located at a key corner (Main Street and Walnut Avenue) in the heart of our downtown redevelopment efforts. It is, for this reason, that staff would like to make one last good -faith effort to negotiate a mutually acceptable amendment to the Zeidan's OPA. Hopefully, it will allow them to remove this dangerous and unsightly structure, and promptly rebuild a structure that will complement the surrounding new developments. Funding Source: None required as a result of this action. 3 Alternative Action: 1) Direct Participant to comply with the original OPA and/or Participant to terminate the OPA.

Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception &S- *-'rW/ Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachmentx: Transmitted for the Redevelopment Agency's consideration is an Owner Participation Agreement with Mohammed and Adel Zeidan which will provide for the rehabilitation and improvement of property located within the "northeast portion" of the California Resorts Development Plan. Also attached are resolutions which provides for the execution of the Owner Participation Agreement. 1) Adopt City Council Resolution No. and Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. ha, authorizing execution of an Owner Participation Agreement. On June 27, 1988, the Redevelopment Agency entered into a second amended Di.po-:ition and Development Agreement with California Resorts (Developers Phase 1). The agreement provides that the developer will acquire all parcels within the "Project Area;' generally defined as the block bounded by Main Street, Walnut Avenue, Third Street, and PCH. The inclusion of the "northeast portion" along the Maln'Street edge of the development site is optional and requires authorization by existing property owners. The property owners who are the subject of the proposed Owner Participation Agreement (Zeidan) have agreed to sell their property located at 115 Third Stre.-t, and the property . at the corner of Main Street and Walnut Avenue will be retained and rehabilitated. As an incentive to the property owner to rehabilitate this site, the Redevelopment Agency is proposing to provide a rehabilitation grant in the maximum amount of $50,000, for the actual cost of the improvements. Improvements will be subject to design approval of t1 Redevelopment Agency. The property owner will be required to meet current building code and seismic standards for the existing building and any improvements. Further, the parking requirements will be deemed to be met for the existing commercial development only. Any increased space developed will require additional parking solutions. .5 ) The Owner Participation Agreement requires that the property owner maintain the site and all improvements in accordance with reasonable commercial maintenance standards and further agrees that the site shall be devoted to uses specified in the Redevelopment Plan and in the agreement. Residential use is speci"_tally prohibited. The rehabilitation of this property is in keeping with the development proposal included within the second amended Disposition and Development Agreement with California Resorts. California Resorts has agreed to provide an additional $62,500 for rehabilitation of the Zeidan property, bringing the total rehabilitation budget to $112,500. The proposed agreement further states that in the event a commercial rehabilitation grant program is approved for the second block rehabilitation demonstration project, additional rehabilitation funds to be provided will be increased to the level approved for the second block. Based on current projections, this would require an additional $33,625 bringing the total Agency expenditure to $93,625. In the event this subsequent action occurs, we will request an additional appropriation of funds. FUNDING SOURCE: The proposed agreement requires an expenditure not to exceed $83,625 by the Redevelopment Agency. The source of funding is Acct. #812631.

COOK AND ASSOCIATES TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING May 4,1994 Louis Sandoval Director of Public Works City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Re: Downtown Specific Plan - Updated Traffic Analysis Dear Louis, During the last several years, the property owners of the old Standard Market located on the southwest corner of Main and Walnut have been trying to redevelop their property. Their preference has been to tear down the existing building; which was badly damaged by a fire and construct a new two story building. However, because of the City's current requirement for dedication of 10 additional feet of right-of-way for Walnut Avenue, the property owners are unwilling; and financially unable to give up 10 feet of their total SO feet of Main Street frontage for street widening. The following traffic study was done to determine if even lower traffic volumes resulting from the City's further downsizing of the: Downtown Specific Plan would justify a removal of the designation of secondary arterial highway from that portion of Walnut Avenue or, for that matter, from other designated arterial highways in the downtown area such as Sixth and Orange. �3AMGR—OUND On May 12, 1988, traffic engineering; consultants, Greer and Company, submitted to City Engineer, Les Evans, an update of earlier traffic analyses they performed for the Downtown Specific Plan. That analysis reflected a change in the downtown land uses to a less intense village center. A copy of the 1988 study is enclosed. Since that time the Downtown Specific Plan reflects further reduced land use intensity which should further reduce projected traffic volumes in the downtown area. 211 Main Street 0 Huntington Beach, California 92648 6 (714) 960-8298 k,.) During the early stages of the redevelopment process in the downtown area when Proposed land uses were quite ambitious, the City adopted a master plan for arterial highways which upgraded previously designated local streets to secondary arterials with 80 foot right-of-ways, most notably; Sixth Street from Main Street to Pacific Coast Highway, Orange Avenue from Lake Street to Sixth Street, and Walnut Avenue from Lake Street to Sixth Street. The intent was to form an arterial loop system around the downtown core area. However, the 1989 Greer study showed projected traffic volumes that are borderline at hest for justifying four lanes of traffic capacity on any of those streets. MMIIODOLOGY Land use densities were examined for the newest version of the Downtown Specific Plan and were compared to those densities used in the 198E Greer study. The results are shown in Table 1. The overall lower densities in the 1994 Plan result in 10,S00 fewer daily trips than the 1989 study or a reduction of 16% in daily traffic volumes in the downtown core area. In order to simplify the Process, all assumptions of trip generation rates, directional distributions, and assignment to the street system were the same as the Greer study. All PM peak hour traffic volumes in the Greer study were reduced by 16%. The results are shown on Figure 1. This overall reduction of 16% is considered to he a conservative approach with regard to Walnut Avenue since most daily trips were reduced in Downtown Specific Plan zones 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10, which represent the downtown core area, and in zone 9, which assigns a significant percentage of traffic volumes to Walnut Avenue. FIN_LINQ5 As can be seen from Figure 1, two way PM peak hour volumes on Walnut Avenue south of Main Street total 540 vehicles. Assuming the peak hour is 10% to 15 % of the 24 hour daily traffic volume, the daily volume on Walnut Avenue south of Main Street would only he 3,600 to 5,400 vehicles in year 2010. In no case would this he considered daily volumes that would justify widening to four lanes. Furthermore, analysis of this study may show that four lanes are not needed on other downtown core arterials such as Sixth Street or Orange Avenue. Attached is a copy of page 500 of the Institute of Transportation Engineers' "Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook, Second Edition". Table 16- 19 shows the estimated capacity of four-way stop intersections of two-way, two- lane streets which are of the type in the downtown area. This table shows that the estimated capacity of the total approach volumes from all four directions ranges from 1,900 to 1,550 depending upon the cross volume split. An analysis of this study shows the approach volumes at Main and Walnut total 1,040. Even in the 1988 Greer study, approach volumes totalled only 1,240. The highest current four-way stop approach volumes projected for year 2010 in this study total 1,355 at Main and Orange which should give the City cause to reconsider the need for any secondary arterials in the core area other than Orange/Atlanta Avenues southeast of Third/Lake Streets. I would be pleased to discuss this study with you and members of your staff at any time. Sincerely, 0-111. Paul E.

(capacity). Four -way -stop intersections The it teraction of vehicles at a four-way stop is complex. The criteria of gap acceptance are no longer appropriate since vehicles on all approaches of the intersection will be at a stop or expected to stop. Departure headways of 4 s can be expected for single vehicles (900 veWh) and op- proxima-ely 4.5 s for pairs of vehicles entering together (1600 vehllt). When traffic is present on all approaches, median headways of 7.32 s have been observed at four- way -stop intersections of two-way, two-lane suburban streets aid median headways of 8.03 s for vehicles crossing a four-l:me intersecting street.=` Based on these values and a tendency for the median headway to decrease on the major street when the split of traffic deviates from 50:50, the capacit) of an intersection (all approaches) has been cont- puled an shown in Table 16-19. The capacities in Table 16- 19 would be obtained only with nearly constant queues on all approaches. left turns do not appear to affect these values adversely, and a high percentage of right turns prob- ably acts to increase them. 3-1W 500 Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook �i l a4 d'�`jaI T 9 7y t TABLE 16-19 Esllreated Capacity of four -Way Stop lntersecllon of Two-way, Two-L&M Sim*" Cross Capacity (Tout from An volume Approaches) Split (VehickA) StV50 1900 $5,4s 1800 6&4o 1700 693S real 7090 3550 souarE: Aghts-ay Caparity ifanuaf,1965, spec.

Signalized intersections Genera!iy, those intersections that are significant from a capacity standpoint are either already signalized or prime candidates for signalization. Therefore, most current inter- section -capacity criteria apply to signalized intersections. The capacity and service volumes that a signalized in- tersection can accommodate are dependent on the intersec- tion geometries, signal operation, and traffic factors. In the first category, the approach width is most critical. The ex- istence of parking, one-way vs. two-way operation, and lane configuration are also important. Other factors, such as grades and turning radii`, are undoubtedly significant, but L` tT 721 South Magnolia Avenue Anaheim, California 92804 (714) 952-2886 FAX No (714) 952-3175 IGINEERS & PLANNERS May 12, 1988 Mr. Les Evans City Engineer City of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Hunttnngton Beach, CA 92648 RE: , Downtown Specific Plan — Traffic Analysis Lla -date for the Core Area Dean' Mr. Evans: As authorized, we have cmgnleted an up -date of our earlier traffic analyses for the Downtown Specific Plan.

The arterials misting of Orange/Atlanta, Sixth Start, Lake Stet and Walnut Avenue would provide access to village parking, and provide primary mates through the downtown, yet axed the village core. The loop system would serve as feeder streets to the village and carry through traffic to the beach and pierside developnentso The local streets internal to the core area would provide direct access to village vial and residential uses, and would allow for local on -street parking. The projected traffic volumes were analyzed to determine the future street requirements within the core area. The loop system would consist of Orange Avenue between Sixth Street and Lake Street, Fake Street between Orange/Atlanta and PCH, Walnut Avenue between Sixth Street and Fake Street, and Sixth Street between PCH and Orange Avenue. Orange Avenue and Walnut Avenue connect arterial streets to the east — Orange connects to Atlanta, and Walnut will be extended east of Lake Street as a four -lane arterial. Lake Street north of Orange Avenue will be realigned to connect to Orange at Third Street, and Sixth Street north of Orange will be realigned to connect to Again Street at Frankfort The loop system of Orange, Lake, Walnut and Sixth will be widened to provide four lanes with left turn lams and medians and with no on -street parking, Walnut Avenue should be widened to the proposed 60-foot roadway in an 80-foot right of way, but projected traffic volumes may not require four operational travel lams for its entire length. For operational _'ems, -'four ;lanes should be provided with no on -street parking on Walnut between Nain Street and Lake Street. This section of Walnut provides -`direct amass to the _ pry entertainment center project and to the r ' r_1ty®s pry -parking `-parking str�reo Between Sixth Street and Again Suet, rAt may be possible to configure Walnut with two lanes, left turn lanes and a median, and permit oft parking on both sides until such time as the dour travel lanes Bray be required. At that time, the on -street parking could be removed to provide the four travel lanes. There is some hesitancy in suggesting the two lane section on Walnut between Sixth and Ham ailt]oLgh it would cperate acceptably under projected traffic volumes. In order to emphasize the loop arterial system and to provide its continuity and clear designation to the driver, it would be appropriate to improve Mra Les Evans City of Huntington Beach 0ownt,o;n Traffic Analysis Up -date Fay 12, 1988 - Page 9 Walnut as four lanes from Sixth to Iaks right from the start. The difficulty of subsequently removing the on -street parking after it is cake installed in order to ultimately provide the four travel lanes would be avoided if improved as four lanes initially, I The reccmmended roadway improvererits are consistent with the proposed right-of-way and roadway cross -sections as presented by City staff. The reccmnended improvements for each roadway are illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, and are described below: Sixth Street — PCH to Orange 4 lanes, no parking; 80' ROW/60' roadway Sixth Street — Orange to Pain 2 lanes, on -street parking; 77.5' ROW/55o5' roadway Pain Street — Sixth to PCH 2 lanes, angled on -street parking; 75' PVW/50' roadway Lake Street — PCH to Orange 4 lanes, bike lanes, no parking; 95' ROW/79' roadway Lake Street — Orange to -Frankfort 4 lanes, bike lanes, rxo parking; 90' ROW/74' roadway - Take street — north of Frankfort 2 lanes, bike lanes, on -street parking; 90' ROW/601 roadway Orange Averme — Sixth to ` ii d Y 4 lanes, no parking; 80' IOW/601 roadway OOrange Avenue — Mu-rd to Take 4 lanes w/right turn lane, no parking; 90' ROW/74' roadway .

Initially, 4-way stop control will be required at Orange/Main and Oraixge/Lake/Murd. Either of both of these intersections may require signalization in the future. A 4-way stop control 'should also be provided at Main/Walnut. In order for the loop arterial concept to operate effectively, all other stop signs should be roved from Orange, Lake, Wa]nut, Sixth and Main with cross -streets being stop sign controlled. A detailed striping plan, intersection control plan, on -street parking details, and an overall core area traffic operations plan should be prepared to program unprovements in a consistent and orderly mariner.

Uberuaga, City Administrator ezePrepared by: Luis F. Sandoval, Director, Public Works Department Subject: Reclassification of Walnut Avenue between Third Street and Alain Street Consistent with Council Policy? [ X ] Yes [ j New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments;/ "iP/ ��� UA1TAff NT QFF,ISSUE: Walnut Avenue between First Street and Sixth Street is Currently classified as a secondary arterial on the adopted Circulation Element and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Walnut Avenue between Third Street and Sixth Street should be reclassified as a collector street. RF,,rQ-M,% ENDEDCO19VCiL ACTION: 1. Direct staff to proceed with the process of reclassifying Walnut Avenue between Third Street and Sixth Street from a secondary arterial to a colI©ctor street on the City's Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways. 2. Receive and file this report. ANAI.Y I In 1988, the City hired Greer and Associates to complete a traffic circulation study of the Downtown Specific Plan Area in association with the Environmental Impact Report No. 89A (Second Block West Facade Improvement Demonstration Project). At the time of the traffic circulation study, approximately 1,000,000 - 1,500,000 square feet of commercial, office, and restaurant floor space was anticipated to be constructed and ultimately occupied within the Downtown Specific Plan Area (DSPA). As a part of the anticipated circulation system improvements in the DSPA, Walnut Avenue was anticipated to be a four lane secondary arterial between First Street and Sixth Street (please see Attached Circulation Plan of Arterial Strects and Highways). Walnut Avenue between First Street and Beach Boulevard (which is now know as Pacific View Avenue) is classified as a primary arterial. Walnut Avenue becomes Hamilton Avenue as one travels east across Huntington Beach. Hamilton Avenue is a primary arterial with one of the three existing bridges crossing the Santa Ana River south of Interstate 405. Hamilton Avenue becomes Victoria Avenue in Costa Mesa, extending easterly across Costa Mesa to State Route 55 (the Newport Freeway). Victoria Avenue has direct access to the Newport Freeway via on and off ramps. The traffic analysis performed for EIR 89-4 anticipated an arterial street system utilizing Walnut Avenue between First Street and Sixth Street as an alternative route to Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) during periods of traffic congestion on PCH. This conceptual circulation system was patterned after Glenneyre Street in Laguna Beach, which parallels PCH. It should be noted that the type of existing development in Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach adjacent to PCH are markedly different, thus it is staff's opinion that the analogy between Glenneyre Street and Walnut Avenue is inappropriate and incorrect. The current anticipated amount of commercial, office, and restaurant square footage to be constructed and occupied is 500,000 square feet. This amount of availablelanticipated floor space is between one-half to one-third of the floor space anticipated when the traffic analysis was performed. The net result is one-half to one-third of the anticipated traffic volumes on streets in the DSPA. Last but not least is the practical consideration of pedestrian traffic along the Main Street corridor. The intersection of Main Street and Walnut Avenue is arguably the second busiest intersection, from a pedestrian traffic standpoint, in Huntington Beach (Main Street at PCH is likely the busiest intersection for pedestrian traffic). It is staffs considered opinion that a four lane arterial street crossing Main Street at Walnut Avenue will not function efficiently and will likely be the site of many autolpedestrian accidents. If Walnut Avenue is classified as a secondary arterial street between First Street and Third Street, easy access to the 21Un Promenade Parking Structure will be insured. It is very likely that, in the future, visitors to the Downto%m area will utilize Walnut Avenue/Pacific View Avenuefflamilton Avenue to get to the parking structure from Brach Boulevard and the Newport Freeway. FUNDING SOURCE: No finding source is required for this action. LENN'IRONNMENTAL�UAM t Pursaant to the California Environmental Quality Act §15378, this request for direction from City Council is not a classified as a project at this time. If the segment of Walnut Avenue under consideration is to be removed from the Circulation Plan of Arterial Streets and Highways and the Orange County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, the proposed reclassification will be subject to environmental review. ALTERNATIVE, ACTION'S: 1. Provide staff with direction regarding the Council's desired classification of arterial status for Walnut Avenue between Third Street and Sixth Street. ATTACITNI .
