10 10 Port Master Plan Amendment Area Current Port Master Plan One 500-room “high quality” hotel Proposed Port Master Plan Amendment Port Master Plan Amendment Up to three hotels with combined total of ≤ 500 rooms Proposed 175-room Sunroad Hotel

11 11 175-Room, 4-Story Select Service Hotel Roadway and Traffic Circle Realignment Enhanced Public Access $30M Estimated Investment in Improvements Area w/175-room Hotel Proposed Port Master Plan Amendment

12 12 Resolution of Issues CCC Staff Issue Port Staff Response Parking Shuttle Activating Uses Bulk and Scale; Public Views Public Access 15 public parking spaces across the hotel sites Participation and expansion of bayside shuttle system Provision of public amenities Building envelopes ≤70% of each hotel site; views through access corridors Interim promenade to be constructed until existing buildings are demolished and promenade can be realigned

13 13 Public Promenade Existing Promenade Proposed Promenade Proposed 175-room Sunroad Hotel

14 14 Outstanding Issue Reserve portion of site for lower cost accommodations. New PMPA to change designation of lower cost accommodations site. 2 of 3 hotels cannot be built prior to completion of Port’s study.

15 15 Up to 500 Hotel Rooms Method to Satisfy §30213 Port’s Provision of Lower Cost Overnight Accommodations 175 rooms (Sunroad Hotel) 325 rooms – Minimum 82 rooms (25% of 325 rooms) – Maximum of 243 rooms Pay in-lieu fee or provide on-site RFP for mid-scale or economy [no payment of in-lieu fee] Pay in-lieu fee or provide on-site

16 16 Issues with CCC Staff Approach Requires regulating room rates - prohibited by Section 30213. Preempts Port’s study that is currently underway. No nexus study to support the fee, set aside or land dedication. California law recognizes regulatory taking’s protections apply to public land. Requires East Harbor Island to remain underutilized indefinitely. Port needs to achieve a rate of return on land to support reinvestment in public initiatives.

17 17 Port’s Lower Cost Overnight Accommodations Policy Preliminary four phase study underway: Foundation (draft 12/2014) Nexus Study (draft 08/2015) Site Criteria & Identification Environmental Review ✔ ✔

31 31 Outstanding Issue Reserve 1/3 of non-lower cost rooms on-site for lower cost visitor serving accommodations. – Historic CCC Formula If 500 rooms, add 25% as lower cost for mitigation 500 non-lower cost rooms + 125 lower cost rooms = 625 total rooms (or in-lieu fee of 125 x $30k = $3.8 M) – CCC Staff Proposal Of 500 total rooms, 25% as lower cost (125 rooms) 500 non-lower cost rooms - 125 lower cost rooms = 375 total non-lower cost rooms New PMPA to change designation of lower cost accommodations site. 2 of 3 hotels cannot be built prior to completion of Port’s study.

32 32 Calculation Reserve 1/3 of non-lower cost rooms on-site for lower cost visitor serving accommodations. – Historic CCC Formula If 500 rooms, add 25% as lower cost for mitigation 500 non-lower cost rooms + 125 lower cost rooms = 625 total rooms (or in-lieu fee of 125 x $30k = $3.8 M) – CCC Staff Proposal Of 500 total rooms, 25% as lower cost (125 rooms) 500 non-lower cost rooms - 125 lower cost rooms = 375 total non-lower cost rooms

33 33 CCC Staff Proposal Calculation Outstanding Issue Reserve 1/3 of non-lower cost rooms on-site for lower cost visitor serving accommodations. New PMPA to change designation of lower cost accommodations site. 2 of 3 hotels cannot be built prior to completion of Port’s study. Historic CCC Formula – If 500 rooms, add 25% as lower cost for mitigation 500 non-lower cost rooms + 125 lower cost rooms = 625 total rooms CCC Staff Proposal – Of 500 total rooms, 25% as lower cost (125 rooms) 500 non-lower cost rooms - 125 lower cost rooms = 375 total non-lower cost rooms

34 34 Consistency with Coastal Act As submitted and modified, PMPA is consistent with public access/recreation and visual resource policies of Coastal Act: – Encouraging new overnight accommodations and public amenities to serve visitors to the Bay; – Providing public access to a previously inaccessible area of the Bay; – Providing continuous, contiguous waterfront pedestrian access along promenade; – Allowing shared/joint use parking to ensure adequate parking on East Harbor Island while providing a total of 15 public parking spaces across the hotels sites; and – Reducing bulk and scale by allowing for hotel rooms to be sited in multiple lower profile structures throughout East Harbor Island.

35 35 Proposed PMPA Existing Development: Restaurants, marina and parking, promenade along bay Current Port Master Plan: – One 500-room hotel Proposed Port Master Plan Amendment: – Up to three hotels totaling 500 rooms instead of a single hotel – Extension of the public access promenade – Realignment of the traffic circle

36 36 Location East Harbor Island San Diego

37 37 Coastal Act Section 30213 Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities; encouragement and provision; overnight room rentals Lower cost visitor and recreational facilities shall be protected, encouraged, and, where feasible, provided. Developments providing public recreational opportunities are preferred. The commission shall not: (1) require that overnight room rentals be fixed at an amount certain for any privately owned and operated hotel, motel, or other similar visitor-serving facility located on either public or private lands; or (2) establish or approve any method for the identification of low or moderate income persons for the purpose of determining eligibility for overnight room rentals in any such facilities.

42 42 Proposed Port Master Plan Amendment language: “The extended promenade…will be located immediately adjacent to the shoreline except at the southeast end of the peninsula where it moves inland briefly due to an existing restaurant structure. At such time when the cumulative redevelopment of the restaurant structures exceeds demolition or relocation of more than 50% of the major structural components including exterior walls, floor and roof structure, and foundation (excluding maintenance and repairs), the promenade will be relocated adjacent to the shoreline.” Public access available along shoreline, except for 170 feet Requires promenade to be extended along waterfront when restaurant relocation/reconstruction occurs Promenade on Restaurant Parcel

43 43 PMPA Timeline 2008 – Commence environmental review June 14, 2011 Port Board meeting ˗Option Agreement, EIR, PMPA, Concept Approval July 2011 to April 2012 - CEQA lawsuit by Unite HERE ˗EIR analysis adequate for Sunroad Harbor Island Hotel ˗Additional CEQA review needed for PMPA August 14, 2012 Port Board meeting ˗Rescind approvals for EIR, PMPA, Concept Approval 2013 – Revisions to Draft EIR prepared March 2014 – Port Board meeting ˗Approval of Revised Final EIR, draft PMPA, concept approval July 2014 – CCC Hearing

44 44 Sunroad Hotel CONCEPT APPROVAL

45 45 Proposed PMPA language: “For each development or redevelopment on the western half of East Harbor Island, completion of the public bayside promenade along that development or redevelopment site will be required by the Port. On each hotel project site, the shoreline promenade will be a minimum of 10-feet wide and that respective portion must be fully completed prior to the completion of any new structure requiring issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy on that hotel project site.“ Requires hotels to construct the promenade as leaseholds are developed and redeveloped, rather than requiring the entire promenade to be constructed with development of the first hotel, despite the absence of the required “nexus” or “rough proportionality.” Timing of Promenade cont’d

46 46 Issues with CCC Staff Language “Lower cost” is not defined in PMPA. Would require that room rates be fixed, which is prohibited by Section 30213. Presents enforcement issue for Port to regulate room rates. Preempts study that is currently underway to identify where lower cost accommodations could be sited; policy anticipated to be considered by Port Board late 2014.
