Introduction This is an invitation to assist the City of Anaheim in preparing the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan (BBSP) and Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), both referred hereafter as the “Project.” The City of Anaheim has received funding for this Project from the California Strategic Growth Council under the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program. The proposed Work Plan and Budget for this Project, submitted as part of the grant application, are included as Appendices I and II to this document. 2. Background The City of Anaheim, founded in 1857, covers 50 square miles, and is home to over 348,000 residents (Figure The municipal corporation’s annual budget is $1.6 billion. Anaheim supports a thriving business community with companies such as Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc., L-3 Communications, Pacific Sunwear, and Disneyland Resort. Successful sports franchises call Anaheim home, including Angels Baseball and Anaheim Ducks. Anaheim welcomes millions of visitors to the City each year and boasts world-class meeting and entertainment venues with the Anaheim Convention Center (LEED- certified and the largest on the west coast), Honda Center, City National Grove of Anaheim, Anaheim GardenWalk, and Angel Stadium of Anaheim. The BBSP will primarily focus on the 1.5-mile Beach Boulevard corridor within the City of Anaheim (Figure Beach Boulevard is a six-lane divided highway (State Route 39), maintained by the California Department of Transportation, with an average daily traffic count of 66,000 vehicles. To the north, Anaheim’s section of Beach Boulevard connects to the City of Buena Park, including Knott’s Berry Farm; State Route 91 (Artesia Freeway); Interstate 5 (Santa Ana Freeway); and, terminates in the City of La Habra. To the south, Beach Boulevard connects to the City of Stanton, State Route 22 (Garden Grove Freeway), the City of Westminster, Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway), and terminates at State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) in Huntington Beach. Beach Boulevard has been designated as High Quality Transit Corridor in the 2012-2035 Southern California Association of Governments Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCAG RTP/SCS). While Beach Boulevard functions well for moving motor vehicles, many of the land uses along this corridor do not contribute to the positive qualities of the surrounding community. In addition, non-motorized/active transportation connections to and along the Beach Boulevard corridor could be improved. The City is currently updating its Bicycle Master Plan and is considering enhanced bicycle connectivity across the City, including connectivity to Beach Boulevard. More information about the Bicycle Master Plan can be found at www.anaheimoutdoors.net. ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- 4 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT The surrounding area, referred to as “West Anaheim” (Figure 3) is characterized by stable, well- maintained neighborhoods; however, it is challenged by an abundance of aging, underutilized strip commercial and retail centers, vacant lots and older motels. Many of these motels are plagued by criminal activity and contribute to the area’s high crime rate, which is up to 600% above the citywide average. These negative impacts compromise the community’s quality of life and impede the attraction of economic investment in the area. These conditions are especially prevalent along Beach Boulevard. The City of Anaheim, as the Successor Agency to the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency, owns properties along Beach Boulevard that remain vacant and are awaiting a disposition decision by the State of California (Figure One of these properties is a large 25-acre property located at the northeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Beach Boulevard that has been designated in the Anaheim Long Range Property Management Plan to be retained for future development. A 600,000 square foot commercial center has been entitled on this property, but has been delayed due to a combination of economic conditions and the State’s elimination of Redevelopment Agencies. The City plans on proceeding with commercial development of the site once the disposition process with the State is completed. The other City-owned property is approximately 2 acres in size and is located north of the West Anaheim Youth Center. This property is designated for Low - Medium Density Residential land uses in the General Plan. Development of these two properties has been much anticipated and the stagnation of development has been a source of community concern. ---PAGE BREAK--- 5 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT In 2004, the City completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan and Zoning Code, which re- designated Beach Boulevard from a primarily commercial corridor to one that allows for a mixture of commercial and residential uses. The existing General Plan designations and Zoning classifications are shown on Figures 5 and 6, respectively. The City has been working on several efforts to improve West Anaheim and specifically issues associated with Beach Boulevard.  Members of the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force are proactively working to address prostitution in the area. is a partnership between Anaheim Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Huntington Beach Police Department, Orange County District Attorney, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and community and non- profit partners.  The Anaheim Police and Community Service Departments are proactively contacting and offering support to the area’s homeless population. While the homeless population is spread throughout other areas of the City, it is especially prevalent along Beach Boulevard.  A citywide Quality Rental Housing Program has been initiated to ensure that all multi-family residential units comply with basic Code standards. Implementation of this program began in West Anaheim in July 2014.  On October 7, 2014, the Anaheim City Council adopted Ordinance No. 6306, which enhanced the City’s ability to enforce substandard housing violations outlined in State Law. This ordinance will assist the City’s efforts to address the substandard living conditions often found in the area’s motels. In addition to the above efforts, the City would like to create a long-term vision for land use and public improvements along Beach Boulevard. To help fund this Project, in February 2014, the City applied for the funding from the California Strategic Growth Council under the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program. Rather than waiting until June to find out if the City had received funding from the State to begin the specific plan, the City began public outreach efforts and commissioned a market analysis for the area. The intent of these actions was to be able to compare the community’s vision for this area with its market feasibility to better understand what would be necessary to create positive change. The findings of the initial public outreach efforts are included as Appendix IV. The market analysis is being finalized and will be made available to recipients of this RFP during the response period. ---PAGE BREAK--- 8 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 5 ---PAGE BREAK--- 9 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Figure 6 ---PAGE BREAK--- 10 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 3. Project Objectives The Project includes developing a specific plan that includes community objectives, revitalization strategies, development concepts, development standards, public improvements and an implementation plan. The Project also includes completing the appropriate environmental analysis to comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Public engagement is expected to be extensive with a minimum of ten community meetings anticipated, which should occur throughout all stages of the process. The City will also be facilitating the formation of a Community Advisory Committee (CAC). The primary purpose of the CAC will be to act in an advisory capacity to City staff, consultants, the Planning Commission and the City Council throughout the Specific Plan process. The Project includes facilitation of a minimum of eight CAC meetings over a 12-18 month period. Community input is deemed vital to achieving the primary, long-term objectives described in The City’s Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program application, and summarized as follows:  Increasing Infill and Compact Development: The BBSP is intended to remove significant barriers to infill development and will promote the reuse and redevelopment of existing vacant and underutilized properties along the Beach Boulevard corridor. A “Green Developer” program is expected to be created as part of the Project to provide incentives that will serve to streamline the infill development process including an expedited review process for sustainable development, improved physical infrastructure and flexible land use regulations. This approach will set the framework for additional infill development by establishing a clear land use vision for the area while expediting the development process and reducing delays and costs incurred by developers. These actions will encourage businesses to expand or develop along the corridor. The progress of this objective will be measured by tracking the following: o Residential development projects that develop at 18-24 units per acre. o Increase in the percentage of alternative transportation users via bus transit. o Increase in the proportion of jobs and housing units within a half mile of transit.  Revitalize Urban and Community Centers: The Project is expected to identify and encourage revitalization of underutilized properties by incentivizing the development of and/or relocation of high quality businesses within the corridor, with a goal of reducing the unemployment rate in the area by at least two percentage points. The Project will also set a goal of converting up to 50 percent of the development opportunity sites to “high use” by 2022 as well as facilitate green building construction, renovation and redevelopment. The Project will incorporate clear and consistent design standards for architects, engineers and developers that will facilitate high quality development. New construction will be incentivized to encourage sustainable development, with a goal of a minimum of 70 percent of new buildings constructed to green building standards. The progress of this objective will be measured by tracking the following: ---PAGE BREAK--- 11 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT o Reduction of the unemployment rate. o Development of opportunity sites to “high use”. o Percentage of new LEED-certified construction.  Strengthening the Economy: The Project is expected to create quality employment opportunities by strengthening the overall economic base of the area. New retail and residential investment will be facilitated and the area’s public transportation infrastructure will be improved. Underperforming mid-block commercial uses are expected to be replaced with higher density residential and/or mixed-use development. Attracting new businesses and encouraging existing, high quality businesses to grow is projected to occur as a result of removing obstacles hindering redevelopment and improving the area’s infrastructure. The Project will set a goal of increasing new business formation by 25 percent by 2030. A goal of increasing the per capita income of the area by 10 percentage points by 2025 is also expected to be achieved by increasing new business formations through new construction or redeveloping and expanding existing businesses. The progress of this objective will be measured by tracking the following: o Increase in the rate of new business formation. o Increase in the per-capita income of residents in the area. 4. Approach The City fully expects that all Project aspects will be completed in a timely and efficient manner. Although the Work Plan submitted in conjunction with the application for Strategic Growth Council’s Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and Incentives Program proposes a 36 month time line, the Project would begin immediately upon contract approval and would be expected to be completed with City Council approval and CEQA clearance within 18-24 months. Through the Project, the City of Anaheim intends to develop a plan that implements an illustrated community vision that will be developed through extensive, multi-lingual public outreach and collaboration. This effort must be clearly community-based every step of the way and should take advantage of technology-based tools that maximize public outreach and graphically summarize the community vision. The resulting regulations and standards within the specific plan will be developed according to a regulating development code that achieves the community vision. The plan must be presented in both words and clearly drawn diagrams and other visuals, all of which should be keyed to ---PAGE BREAK--- 12 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN & PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT a regulating plan that designates the appropriate form, scale, and character of development, rather than only distinctions in land-use types, as conventional zoning does. Urban form features regulated under the specific plan will include the width of lots, size of blocks, building setbacks, building heights, placement of buildings on the lot, location of parking, rights-of-way, etc. The plan must also clearly demonstrate how land uses and community design will enhance public health. In exchange for achieving the nature of envisioned development, builders will benefit from a streamlined, administrative review process. 5.

In June 2014, the City was awarded nearly $500,000 from the California Strategic Growth Council to prepare the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan. In anticipation of future planning efforts, staff embarked on a community outreach program aimed at gaining a better understanding of the community’s perspective on the challenges and opportunities associated with Beach Boulevard and the surrounding West Anaheim area. This initial outreach effort, which took place between May and August, featured several community engagement activities, including outreach conducted at the Anaheim Western Barbeque and at several regularly-scheduled West Anaheim community meetings. In addition, two large-scale interactive workshops were held over the summer. The first workshop was held at the Haskett Library in June, attracting over 120 participants. At the request of local residents, a second workshop was held in August at the Biltmore apartment community, located on Lincoln Avenue, just east of Beach Boulevard. This event attracted over 40 mostly Spanish-speaking apartment residents. The number and scope of these outreach efforts helped to ensure that this initial engagement process captured the opinions of West Anaheim’s diverse population. It is important to note that the outreach conducted to date represents the first of several planned rounds of community input that will occur during the course of preparing the Specific Plan. Based on the feedback received up to this point., the Community has identified the following key themes and priority investment strategies: Theme 1: Crime and Safety Priority Investment Strategy 1: Focus on improving the health and welfare of our residents. - Increase police presence in areas of high drug trafficking and prostitution - Increase homelessness support services and transitional shelter options - Improve access to healthy and quality food options - Improve quallity of residential housing Theme 2: Character and Placemaking Priority Investment Strategy 2: Create a stronger community identity through diverse placemaking strategies. - Improve beautification along major corridors - Invest in community assets such as community centers, performing arts venues, senior centers, sports facilities, community gardens and open space - Develop a theme for businesses and properties along Beach Boulevard EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ---PAGE BREAK--- Beach Boulevard Specific Plan Community Outreach Report Page 2 Theme 3: Economy and Community Vitality Priority Investment Strategy 3: Invest resources into new, community-backed businesses. - Regulate and improve conditions of existing motels along Beach Boulevard - Support development of more diverse, higher quality dining and shopping options - Revitalize existing shopping centers - Support growth of locally-owned businesses Theme 4: Mobility Options Priority Investment Strategy 4: Provide viable mobility options for all - Improve sidewalk safety and accessibility along major corridors - Improve existing bus stops to be more inviting - Improve circulation at key intersections - Improve existing pedestrian and bicycling pathways and create greater pedestrian and bicycling connectivity ---PAGE BREAK--- Beach Boulevard Specific Plan Community Outreach Report During the 1950’s and 60’s, Beach Boulevard evolved into an area known for affordable, themed motels and restaurants, as well as roadside attractions aimed at traveling families. Over time the freeway system caused traffic to be diverted away from state highways, like Beach Boulevard, and businesses once catering to vacationers faltered or closed. In West Anaheim, nearly all of the motels that once catered to tourists eventually evolved into a form of permanent housing for which it was never designed. The dense concentration of residential motels in close proximity to established, well-maintained, residential neighborhoods has been a source of friction for some time. This is due to the fact that many motel properties generate a high number of calls for police services and often experience deferred maintenance. Beach Boulevard and the surrounding West Anaheim community are also characterized by an overabundance of aging, underutilized commercial properties. As a result, the area has struggled to attract the types of quality retail businesses, restaurants and entertainment uses enjoyed by many surrounding cities. Concerns regarding the operation and maintenance of residential motels and the lack of quality shopping, dining and entertainment options are major points of community concern. The City has made significant investment in the area over the years including construction of the West Anaheim Youth Center, major expansion of the Haskett Library, installation of a bike trail along an Edison easement and several infrastructure upgrades. In addition to making these significant investments, the City continues to address the issues and concerns of the residents while working with the business and property owners to address the negative elements present. However, more improvements and dialogue is needed to ensure this area is positively positioned for investment and improved quality of life. In June 2014, the City was awarded nearly $500,000 from the State’s Strategic Growth Council to prepare the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan (BBSP). In anticipation of this planning effort, the City has also initiated a community engagement effort to better understand the community’s perspective related to the challenges, opportunities, barriers and assets associated with Beach Boulevard and the West Anaheim community. The City enlisted the services of Lilley Planning Group, a local consulting firm specializing in public outreach to manage this community engagement effort. It is important to note that this initial engagement represents the first of several planned rounds of community input that will occur during the course of preparing the Specific Plan. The following summary report outlines the process and approach to inform and engage the public in this important conversation as well as the valuable feedback the community provided conveying its concerns and issues as well as its hopes and vision for the future. Page 3 INTRODUCTION ---PAGE BREAK--- Beach Boulevard Specific Plan Community Outreach Report A primary goal of this engagement effort was to ensure the process was inclusive and reached a wide audience. The effort was focused on ensuring participation reflected the diverse population of the West Anaheim community. In order to accomplish this, the community outreach effort employed several outreach strategies to ensure a high level of participation. These strategies included: • Using traditional and technology based methods to inform the public about the project and associated events; • Attending a variety of planned community events allowing informal and accessible conversations with the public related to improving West Anaheim; • Distributing surveys and arranging input forums to allow active communication with West Anaheim stakeholders; • Hosting a large-scale project kick-off event to gather input on existing conditions, raise awareness about the upcoming effort, and identify community leaders; and, • Enhancing interactive engagement through media tools such as Crowdbrite and the City’s website. OUTREACH PROCESS In May 2014, Planning Staff and the Lilley Planning team launched an information effort to raise awareness and encourage participation in a discussion related to the West Anaheim area with a particular focus on Beach Boulevard. A logo, tagline and website were developed and collateral material distributed throughout the community. Flyers and posters were displayed in locations in and around West Anaheim. A banner was hung at the West Anaheim Youth Center. Notices/invitations to encourage participation at the community kick-off event were sent to community leaders, business owners, clubs, organizations, as well as faith-based and non-profit groups throughout West Anaheim. The effort also utilized print media to promote participation. Advertising and informational articles were published in the Anaheim Bulletin and on the City’s website. Press releases were also issued. These pieces announced the Specific Plan, invited participation from the community to attend the workshops and educated the public on how to be involved in the process. Finally, a web-based platform was created to engage the public on-line. The Improvetheboulevard.com website created a hub of information for the project. The site contained an introduction to the process, announcements for upcoming events and interactive questions and surveys to engage the public and allow them to provide input. The site also allowed participants to review input received to date and ask questions and provide comments. This site was directly linked to the City’s website to allow the community to find this information easily. Project business cards, coloring pages, surveys, flyers and handouts included the improvetheboulevard.com website directing participants to go on line and get involved.
