III. RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT #8b
Pur' se:
As stated in the Downtown Specific Plan,
" This District is intended to allow high density residential
development that will provide a population base to help support
the commercial and office uses in the downtown area."
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. Clustered on small
"islands" with scenic waterscapes, the residences will
accentuate The Waterfront' s Mediterranean style with tiled roofs,
elegant arches and textured exteriors. 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:
. The Downtown Specific Plan contains no requirement for public
open space within the residential portion of the Waterfront.
However, in addition to the Phase 2 Public Recreation Center
described previously, the residential community will include

residents. Also, as much open space as is feasible will be
provided, including utilizing semi-subterranean parking with
landscape treatments and structures placed on and around the
recessed parking.

'"
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

II. 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..

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.
