Overview: Total Acres: Net: 23 . 7 Gross: 27.6 Nestled in a gate-guarded, ocean environment, The Waterfront' s MIn residential community will offer panoramic ocean views as a result of the project's sensitive lard plan that provides spacious view corridors between hotels.

The Robert *Sayer Corporation plans to provide as much open space as feasible, including utilizing semi-subterranean parking with landscape treatments and structures placed on and around the recessed parking in order to minimize site coverage. A main entry gate is planned as an extension from the Pacific Coast Highway/Walnut Ave. connector road, providing a dramatic entry and connection to The Waterfront's commercial sect-or and beach front orientation. Pursuant to Section 4 . 10 . 01 of the Downtown Specific Plan, the permitted uses in residential District #8b shall be limited to permanently attached residential housing, and development shall be subject to a Conditional Use Permit. Also, per Section 4 . 10 .02, a conceptual plan for the entire District 08b shall be approved by the Planning Commission, and development which is in conformance with the conceptual plan shall then be permitted. A Conditional Use Permit for the residential portion of The Waterfront is not requested at this time. However, at the request of the planning department staff, an illustrative residential site plan which is in conformance with both the Downtown Specific Plan and the future goals of The Robert Mayer Corporation is included in this submission for informational purposes. In the future, a detailed site plan for the district will be submitted by The Robert Mayer Corporation for approval in conjunction with a Conditional Use Permit application. Open Space: .

SUNXARY: '" Total Net Acres: 44.4 ' •' The Waterfront will promote the high standards of the City of �v Huntington Beach in architectural design and will utilize the contemporary Mediterranean theme adopted for the downtown redevelopment program. Buildings have been designed to take advantage of ocean views by providing windows , balconies , stairway landings and other design features oriented to the sea. g Further, the hotels have been widely separated to allow abundant ocean view corridors from the residential portion of the The Waterfront. This spacing also provides ample sunlight to the grounds surrounding the hotels , 'which will be accentuated through the use of courtyards , atriums and skylights . A traffic study by the environmental consulting and traffic a engineering firm of LSA, Inc. has been completed on the Master Conceptual Plan and has been submitted to the Planning Department. The report concludes that the impact of the project on local traffic is consistent with the overall parameters considered and approved by the City in the Downtown Specific Plan. The property spans two Districts of The Huntington Beach Downtown Specific Plan, Commercial District #9 and Residential District #8b. The features of The Waterfront in each of these districts is described more fully in Sections II and III on the following pages .

COKKERCIAL DISTRICT #9: purpose: As stated in the Downtown Specific Plan, `The purpose of this district is to encourage large, coordinated development that is beach-oriented and open to the public for both commercial and recreational purposes. - overview: Total Net Acres: 20 .7 Pursuant to Section 4 . 11 .02 of the Downtown Specific Plan, a master site plan for the entire commercial District #9 shall be approved by the Planning Commission, and development which is in conformance with the master site plan shall then be permitted. .The Master Conceptual Plan contained in this submission, and in particular the Technical Site Plan exhibit, is the "master site plan" that is submitted for this purpose. The details of the first proposed development under this Master Conceptual Plan are contained in the separate Conditional Use Permit filing for the Phase 1 hotel. r The commercial portion of The Waterfront fronts on Pacific Coast Highway and is divided into six phases, as described more fully below under "Phasing". Four of the phases are hotel properties, one phase is a retail-commercial center, and one phase is a health and recreation center open to the public. Connecting E; these phases is a luxuriantly landscaped system of walks and "+ pathways named "The Pacific 'Promenade" providing additional opportunities for open space enjoyment. open Space: Of key importance to The Waterfront' s Master Conceptual Plan for District #9 are the opportunities for public open space and public recreational facilities. These are divided into four categories as described on the following pages. Of particular importance are the Phase 2 Public Recreation Center and the Pacific Promenade (items #1 and #2 below) . These two public open space amenities cover approximately 6.5 acres, or 31% of the net site area of District #9. This complies with Section 4. 11 .10 of the Downtown Specific Plan, which requires a minimum of 25% of the net site area be devoted to a public open space amenity. The additional public areas within the hotel projects and retail plaza (items #3 and #4 below) further enhance the opportunites for recreation and public open space at The Waterfront by adding an additional 5.1 acres of open space (25% of net site area) for a total open space of 56% of the net site area of District #9.. wR e r Re: The Waterfr­t Master Concept6,dl Plan Page 3 of 10 ..r May 15, 198,.,.E �,•� 1 . The Phase 2 Public Recreation Center: This Public Recreation Center covering approximately 4 acres will feature nine tennis courts, an estimated 25,000 sq. ft. health club facility with pro shop, indoor swimming pool and spa, indoor sports facilities and an exercise, weight lifting and fitness center. Aerobic areas, weight rooms and a lounge will allow the public ocean views while exercising and socializing. other proposed features include a snack and juice bar, men and women's locker rooms and children's facilities . In addition, recreational opportunities oriented toward active seniors will feature specially designed exercise programs and facilities. Convenientlyconnected to The Waterfront hotels b the Y Pacific Promenade, the Recreation Center will be open to the public and available for use by all hotel guests and residents. 2. The Pacific Promenade: This system of walkways, trails, passive exercise facilities and landscaping will in total cover approximately 2. 5 acres, meandering principally along Pacific Coast Highway and Beach Boulevard. Thematically and physically linking each property in the commercial sector of The Waterfront, The Pacific Promenade also allpws pedestrian circulation from the residential sector to t7he highway pedestrian overpasses. It provides opportunities for walking, jogging, exercise or just enjoying verdant surroundings in an oceanfront setting. It will also include occasional seating areas, fountains, etc. to create unique and differing Mediterranean inspired pedestrian environments connected by plazas , arches and courtyards . 3. Public Areas within Hotel Projects: Each hotel will provide its own recreational facilities , typically via a ground level pool and courtyard area. These plazas will differ in style so as to be integrated with the particular Mediterranean design of each hotel, but will follow The Waterfront 's overall landscape theme. Though used mostly by hotel guests, these plazas form an important third element in the total plan for open space and public recreational opportunities at The Waterfront. Since each hotel will include dining facilities opening to 'the outdoor plazas,. the opportunity -for "alfrescoe" dining will make even a brief lunch at The Waterfront a memorable resort experience.
