Direct Staff to Solicit Proposals to Prepare Construction Do
K//YJ Ot- cl>/t H1VA2.0✓CD PG4214 City of Huntington Beach � PE�,sv�_ A(0) File #: 21-875 MEETING DATE: 11/16/2021 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager PREPARED BY: Ursula Luna-Reynosa, Director of Community Development Subiect: Consider 1) Directing Staff to Solicit Proposals to Prepare Construction Documents for a Redesign of Main Street and 2) an Extension of the Temporary Closure of the Second block of Main Street to Vehicular Traffic Statement of Issue: As part of the COVID-19 pandemic response, the City Council authorized a temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic and allowed businesses to expand into the right-of- way. This closure has been in effect for approximately one year and has been extended until December 31, 2021. There has been favorable community response to the closure which caused staff to retain the services of Studio One Eleven to study permanent options related to Main Street as well as to study overall connectivity strategies between Main Street and the greater downtown area. Studio One Eleven has prepared two schemes for Main Street reconfiguration for City Council's consideration. Financial Impact: If the City Council directs staff to procure a design professional to prepare construction documents to reconfigure Main Street, staff will return to the City Council with a contract for approval. At that time, the cost of the contract will be known and disclosed. There is no fiscal impact associated with directing staff to solicit proposals, and the City Council has previously allocated $1.75 million in Federal COVID relief ARPA dollars towards advancing this initiative. Recommended Action: A) Direct staff to solicit proposals to prepare construction documents for Main Street reconfiguration. And B) Direct Staff to extend the temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic during the reconfiguration evaluation. Alternative Action(s): Do not direct staff to solicit proposals and direct staff accordingly. rat�r eea.:� Page 1 of 3 Pnnted on 111102021 =.,er234 Leo s•3. , File #: 21-875 MEETING DATE: 11/16/2021 Analysis: At the September 7th City Council meeting, the City Council authorized the City Manager to continue the temporary closure of the second block of Main Street to vehicular traffic to accommodate outdoor dining and retail in the public right-of-way through December 31, 2021 . At the same meeting staff informed the Council that Studio One Eleven had been retained to further refine some connectivity ideas developed by RSM design which focused on connectivity strategies between Main Street and the resorts to the south-east. Studio One Eleven was also tasked with studying Main Street, as part of the COVID-19 response to the second block closure, and recommending permanent options for consideration. Studio One Eleven will present to the City Council two reconfigurations of Main Street; option one, a Plaza Scheme, and option two, a One-Way Flex Scheme. The Plaza Scheme envisions a full closure of Block 2 to vehicular traffic on Main Street to create a pedestrian plaza that is an everyday public space for residents and visitors. This scheme will reconfigure and expand on on-street dining that supports the existing restaurants on all three blocks. The One-Way Flex Scheme envisions reconfiguring all three blocks on Main Street to one-way traffic that makes space for a pedestrian promenade on the northern side of the street. This scheme will reconfigure and expand on-street dining on all three blocks as well. The two schemes were shared with the Ad Hoc Committee (Mayor Carr, Mayor Pro Tern Delgleize, and Councilwoman Moser) as well as with a focus group of stakeholders (property owners, business owners, hoteliers, Downtown BID and VHB). While comments were generally favorable for both options and stakeholders acknowledged that either selection results in much needed community investment in downtown, the overwhelming consensus was a preference for the Plaza Scheme. The Plaza Scheme was seen as an opportunity to truly create an outdoor living room for the community. It was acknowledged that the longer customers stay in downtown the more likely they are to patronize multiple restaurants and shops. The ability to program and activate the plaza provides an opportunity to attract more customers and to instill civic pride in the community. Both schemes offer the ability for businesses along all three blocks to reconfigure and expand private, outdoor dining opportunities. Based on this feedback, staff is recommending that the City Council direct staff to solicit proposals from design professionals to take the Plaza Scheme concept to full construction documents. There are three phases to developing the working drawings; schematic design, design development, and finally, construction documents. Community outreach regarding design themes will be conducted to refine the scheme selected by the City Council. Staff will check in with the Ad Hoc Committee during the schematic design phase. Towards the end of this phase staff will prepare a presentation, to the entire City Council, which will include computer renderings. At this point the design won't include final materials. A project narrative will be included which will broadly describe the project and a more refined cost estimate will be included. During the design development phase a much more detailed set of drawings and a specification book will be prepared. There will be additional opportunities for community input related to street furniture, colors, hardscape, landscape, lighting, etc. This input will be shared with the Ad Hoc Committee and City of Huntington Beach Page 2 of 3 Printed on 11/1012021 powerz33;1,Legistar- File #: 21-875 MEETING DATE: 11/16/2021 they will be asked to make some recommendations that will be shared with the entire City Council prior to finalization. The cost estimate will again be refined based on selected finished materials. The final phase includes a complete set of drawings and specifications, referred to as construction documents. At this phase, staff will ask Council to direct staff to solicit bids to construct the improvements. On June 1 , 2020, the City Council authorized and directed the City Manager to 1 ) expand the Temporary Emergency Use Permit (TEUP) to allow outdoor dining and retail displays and 2) expand the use of temporary signs and banners as a response to mitigate limited business operations during the early stages of the pandemic. Businesses are now able to open at full capacity. Staff will communicate to TEUP holders that the privileges conferred under the TEUP will cease effective December 31, 2021 at midnight. Restaurants that are interested in continuing outdoor dining operations may pursue a permit that allows outdoor dining. If the outdoor space that they desire to occupy is City right-or-way, they will need to pursue an encroachment permit in addition to an Administrative Permit (type - Outdoor Dining). Encroachment permits to convert public parking spaces into parklets for outdoor dining will not be considered as the loss of on-street public parking is problematic. Code Enforcement will also issue warnings to businesses utilizing temporary signs and banners but will commence regular enforcement effective January 1, 2022. If the City Council directs staff to solicit design proposals, then staff recommends that the temporary closure of the second block be extended. This temporary extension should continue until either 1) the City Council decides not to proceed with a reconfiguration of Main Street or 2) commencement of Main Street reconfiguration improvement. Construction cannot commence until replacement parking spaces are identified for any lost spaces due to the project. Environmental Status: Pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, CEQA does not apply to this action because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and it is not a "project' pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines. A future project contemplating the reconfiguration of a portion of Main Street may be considered in the future. Environmental analysis will be conducted prior to awarding a construction contract to construct such improvements. Strategic Plan Goal: Infrastructure & Parks Attachment(s): 1.

Mayor, council members, Congratulations on putting these committees together to work on reimagining the future of the downtown. This is a long time coming, this project is needed to move us into the future. We need to maximize the beautiful downtown and waterfront businesses. By making the area more inviting for our local citizens as well as our tourists where they want to shop, eat, drink and socialize in the outdoors with their friends and families. In the eight cities we are in, this is the most exciting redesign I have seen in any of the other cities that has been presented to us so far. This project is something you all will be remembered for. I hope you all approve this project to move ahead as fast as possible. SUPPLEMENTAL Thank You, Ron Newman COMMUNICATION Baja sharkeez Restaurant Group, and Kilamy's pub From: Ron Newman <ronna_,sharkeez.net> Ma@*g Deb: I I Ito.jx; � t AgertdebmNo I21- $-?5� Date: November 14, 2021 at 3:21:35 PM PST To council members Subject: urban design on the Downtown 2 Mr.Amory Hanson 8102 Ellis Avenue Apartment 121 Huntington Beach CA 92646 November 16. 202I The Mayoress of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach CA 92648 My Dear Madam Mayoress, I am writing to express my concerns about Item XXVIA,the effort to revitalize downtown Huntington Beach. Main Street's history as a tourist destination and center of commerce is, in my opinion, at a turning point with this discussion of"revitalizing downtown:' It cannot be denied that many changes have occurred on Main Street over more than 100 years of existence. However, a permanent closure of the 2nd block of Main Street would, in my opinion, negatively impact Huntington Beach. Although I am open to participating in discussions about the future of Main Street, as suggested by Item XXVIA, I would like to suggest that a broader group of stakeholders be involved in this discussion. Downtown Huntington Beach is the most historic and prized neighborhood in Huntington Beach, and all residents, including but not limited to businessmen , innkeepers and politicians, should be able to participate. It is my opinion that the limited stakeholder group consulted on the design options is not a satisfactory outreach effort. I would therefore suggest that the council consider allowing all three design plans to be considered as part of the revitalization process. I am also once again reiterating my opposition to Item XXVIB, the extension of the closure of Main Street. Main Street's further temporary closure is not needed. The Main Street closure is having a negative impact on tourism and traffic as people who live on Euclid Street, Ellis Avenue, and Main Street, are unable to drive directly to our wonderful beach. SUPPLEMENTAL COMMUNICATION McWftDeb: 11�I(n1 na1� I ,�g.xa.rem No. I- $ S Mr.Amory Hanson 8102 Ellis Avenue Apartment 121 Huntington Beach CA 92646 I recently had the privilege to eat at the Sugar Shack, 213 Main Street, and found that the place was quite crowded. Many restaurants, including the sugar shack also have had the opportunity to use back patios for additional diners. I will say I was pleased to see that administrative permits and encroachment permits will be required beginning January 1, 2022. to continue using the Street or sidewalk. I am hopeful these permits, particularly the encroachment permits, will be open to public input and will be rejected at times. Finally, if you close a street to vehicular traffic, what will happen if customers stop coming to the businesses. Let us hope that does not happen, but the economy is always uncertain. Will the homeless have another place to congregate in the second block of Main Street? When Mr. P.A. Stanton created Pacific City,now known as Huntington Beach, Mr. Stanton hoped to have a resort city to rival Atlantic City, with it's Vibrant Boardwalk. Huntington Beach's pier is it's Boardwalk. Do not allow Main Street to become it's Times Square.

We would like to be recognized as being opposed to the Main Street closure. The interim closure of the second block of Main Street has had a negative impact on our businesses and guests. at Fred's Mexican Cafe and Sandy's Beach Shack. It has had a damaging effect on tralfic and wayfinding for our guests. Downtown Huntington Beach is known for its amazing vibe, classic cars, and the greatest surf culture. The new Downtown plan does not embrace our local feel. We are known for the parades and car shows which are a draw to our businesses. We are known for crnisin' Main Street. surf shops and great grub. We do not want to become a sterile Downtown and hope to keep the heartbeat of Downtown alive. Closing the second block would disrupt the heartbeat. Fred's Mexican Cafe and Sandy's Beach Shack are staples Downtown and not one City employee or official has contacted us to ask our opinion about what impact a closure would have on uS. We have been brick and mortar for over 20 years in downtown HB and have not been invited to or heard of any open forums for discussion of the closure impact on downtown. Traffic Studies have not even been done prior to City Council being asked to decide to close Main Street. nor is there a plan tier in lieu parking. It seems as if the decision that is being made tonight, is being made without enough information being presented to Council on traffic, parking, and the negative economic impact to all the businesses downtown other than the second block. We hope qou will table this conversation until Vou have the proper traffic and Cal Trans studies, in lieu parking plans, and get the time to speak with all business facets of Downtown Huntington Beach. 1 Best.
