Projects are added to the funding schedule as available monies are identified.Projects are
usually funded first from restricted funds,such as Proposition C and TDA Article 3 funds,
so as to be conservative in allocating General Fund monies only when necessary.
Although the CIP document presents project funding for five years,the City Council
approves CIP projects for the upcoming fiscal year only.This gives the City Council the
ability to shift priorities when needed,while at the same time identify future projects and
their funding mechanisms.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
A Capital Improvement Plan (GIP)is a guide for the efficient and effective provision of
resources for improving and maintaining public infrastructure and facilities.Programming
capital facilities and improvements over time can promote better use of the City's limited
financial resources,reduce costs and assist in the coordination of public and private
development.Based on the guidelines of the framework and those set forth by the City
Council,Staff developed an inventory of capital projects.This inventory was compiled
through a comprehensive review of existing reports,infrastructure plans,community input
and City Council direction.Some of these plans include the following:the Pavement
Management System,Vision Plan,Sanitary Sewer Master Plan,Public Use Master Plan,
Trails Network Plan,Storm Drain Master Plan and the General Plan.
The Draft 2012 Five-Year CIP Schedule (page 11 of the attached CIP)has been integrated
into the Draft 2012 Five-Year Financial Model that will be presented to the Council during
the June 5th Budget Workshop.As required by state law,the Planning Commission will
conduct its review of the CIP at its meeting on June 12,2012.The Planning Commission
will be required to adopt a resolution,finding that the City's 2012 CIP is consistent with the
goals and policies of the General Plan.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide the City Council with an overview of projects
which have been proposed for the Five-Year CIP,to present any changes that are being
proposed and to receive input and further direction from the Council on these projects.As
new information has become available,some cost estimates and funding sources have
been updated from 2011.Although the draft of the Five-Year CIP includes capital projects
consistent with prior years (i.e.Storm drain projects,residential and arterial roadway
projects and minimal projects for recreation facilities),other projects may be included in the
schedule if additional funding sources are identified.
Projects Added to Funded List
There were two projects that were added to the CIP Funded List:
1)The Marguerite Open Channel Project has been added to the funded CIP with an
estimated construction cost of $350,000 in FY13-14.This project addresses the
excessive erosion in a portion of open natural drainage channel,which connects

two piped systems between PVDW and the bluff.Storm Drain User Fees are
available to fund this project.
2)Staff has also included the Ryan Park Restrooms &Accessibility Compliance
Project in the FY12-13 column of the CIP.The restrooms are aged,in poor
condition and have not had any major improvements since they were built.
Additionally,the lower parking lot,the ramp and the restrooms are not ADA
compliant.The park is heavily used by the community over the weekends,during
the holidays and in the summer.The recent athletic field improvement has
increased the community's interest in using the park during athletic seasons.These
improvements are necessary for enhancing service to the community by
implementing corrective work at the lower parking lot and ramp,and,making the
restrooms accessible,safe and sanitary.Staff has identified accumulated fund
)
balance in the Capital Improvement Projects Fund that is available for this project.
Projects Moved to the Unfunded List
Based on City Council feedback,the Grandview/Lower Hesse Improvements project was
moved from the Funded List to the Unfunded List.In the 2011 CIP Document,$2.4 million
was included for the Grandview/Lower Hesse Improvements project in the FY13-14 column
with a use of General Fund money as a placeholder.
No other projects have been added to the Unfunded List.Staff expects that additional
unfunded projects will be identified upon the completion of both the Storm Drain Master
Plan Update and the Pavement Management System Update.The Storm Drain Master
Plan Update is in its beginning stages,while the Pavement Management System Update is
scheduled for completion in FY12-13.

INTRODUCTION
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a guide toward the efficient and effective provision of public
infrastructure and facilities. Programming capital facilities and improvements over time can
promote better use of the City’s limited financial resources, reduce costs and assist in the
coordination of public and private development. In addition, the planning process is valuable as a
means of coordinating and taking advantage of joint planning and development of facilities and
infrastructure where possible. Careful management of these assets keeps the City poised for
flexible and responsive strategic planning that allows the City to proactively prepare the
groundwork for capital projects so when funding opportunities arise, a plan is ready to be
implemented. By looking beyond year-to-year budgeting and projecting what, where, when and
how capital investments should be made, capital planning enables public organizations to
maintain an effective level of service for the present and future population.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The result of this continuing planning process is the CIP, which is the City’s five-year roadmap for
creating, maintaining, and funding present and future infrastructure requirements. The CIP
addresses the City’s needs relating to the acquisition, expansion, and rehabilitation of long-lived
facilities and infrastructure. The CIP serves as a planning instrument in conjunction with the
City’s General Plan and the City Council’s Tactical Goals to identify needed capital projects and
coordinate the financing and timing of improvements in a way that maximizes the return to the
public. It provides a planned systematic approach to utilizing the City’s financial resources in the
most responsive and efficient manner to meet its service and facility needs. It serves as the
“blueprint” for the future of the community and is a management and planning tool, rather than a
binding document.
The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for necessary land acquisition, construction and
maintenance of public facilities necessary for the safe and efficient provision of public services in
accordance with City policies and objectives adopted in the City’s General Plan. A critical
element of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to both preserve or enhance existing facilities
and provide new assets to respond to changing service needs and community growth. While the
program serves as the long range plan, it is reviewed and revised bi-annually in conjunction with
the budget. Priorities may be changed due to funding opportunities or circumstances that cause
a more rapid deterioration of an asset. Projects may be revised for significant costing variances.
The CIP is primarily a planning document to assist in the City’s long-term planning. As such, the
projects and their scopes are subject to change from year to year as the needs of the community
become more defined and projects move closer to final implementation. The adoption of the CIP
is neither a commitment to a particular project nor a limitation to a particular cost. As a basic tool
for scheduling anticipated capital projects, it is also a key element in planning and controlling
future capital financing. For this reason, the CIP includes some “unfunded” projects in which
needs have been identified, but specific solutions and funding have not been determined.
When adopted, the CIP provides the framework for the City’s management team and the City
Council with respect to investment planning, project planning and managing any debt. This
document is independent of the City Council’s tactical goals and is intended to serve as a long-
term planning document.
THE CIP PROCESS
The capital plan and budget is the result of an ongoing infrastructure planning process.
Infrastructure planning decisions must be made with regard to both existing and new facilities and
equipment. For existing facilities, the planning process addresses appropriate capital renewal
strategies and repair-versus-replacement of facilities. New service demands are also considered
since they often affect capital facility requirements. Planning for the five-year CIP period and
subsequent five years, includes linking the General Plan to the capital plan requirements,
conducting needs assessments and allowing for flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for
4-6

capital investment. The FY12-13 through FY16-17 CIP is developed through input by
professional staff, citizens of Rancho Palos Verdes, and elected or appointed City officials.
CIP REVIEW TEAM
A CIP Review team is responsible for annually reviewing capital project requests and providing
recommendations to the City Manager. This team is comprised of staff from the Office of the City
Manager, Finance and Information Technology, Public Works, Community Development, and
Recreation and Parks departments, and the City Attorney. This team conducts an in-depth
analysis of the impact of the CIP on cash flow and financial obligations, as well as the City’s
ability to finance, process, design, and ultimately maintain projects. The team will also analyze
the fiscal impact for each individual project; including future maintenance and replacement costs,
associated monetary benefits (e.g. future maintenance savings), as well as any applicable future
revenue opportunities. The team meets periodically throughout the year to evaluate the progress
of projects, and examine future needs of the City.
The overall goal of the CIP Review Team is to develop CIP recommendations that:
Preserve the past, by investing in the continued upgrade of City assets and infrastructure;
Protect the present with improvements to City facilities and infrastructure;
Plan for the future.
Projects are identified by staff, professional consultants, residents or elected officials. There are
typically more proposals than can be funded in the five-year CIP period, so the team conducts an
internal project ranking process. The criteria used in this internal ranking includes, but is not
limited to, safety, support of essential City services, support of City’s goals, economy and
efficiency, outside funding committed or eligible, and community quality/sustainability. Projects
are prioritized and scored based on the criteria outlined in this plan in the following section. If a
project receives a lower ranking, there is no reason to believe that any damages will occur if the
project has not been completed. While ratings are important in determining recommended
projects, the realities of the City’s financial situation are critical to all decisions.
CIP CRITERIA
Safety: Enhance or improve the overall safety of the City and delivery of services. Protect the
health and welfare of residents.
Supports Essential City Services: Maintenance and development of existing or new facilities and
infrastructure which allows the City to deliver essential services to residents of Rancho Palos
Verdes.
Supports City Goals: Supports the goals annually established by the City Council in the Tactical
Plan. Meets citywide long-term goals and is in compliance with the City’s General Plan.
Economy and Efficiency: Maintain and enhance the economy and efficiency of providing services
in Rancho Palos Verdes. This criterion would include projects which improve business processes
and overall efficiency while also evaluating environmental impacts.
Outside Funding Committed or Eligible: Support a project which outside funding has been
committed to or may be obtained through restricted revenue sources.
Community Quality/Sustainability: Maintain and enhance the infrastructure and services which
supports our residential and business community. This criterion would include projects which
preserve and enhance the overall quality of life in Rancho Palos Verdes and projects which
ensure economic viability to support a sustainable community.

PROJECT LISTS
The CIP includes a comprehensive listing of all projects contained in the Five-Year CIP and also
projects beyond the Five-Year Period. Detailed project sheets are contained in the plan for all
projects included in the CIP. Another list of unfunded projects is also contained in the plan to
highlight the City’s needs beyond the five year period. Projects which are included in the CIP
were evaluated based on the criteria approved by the City Council and are in compliance with the
goals set forth in the City’s General Plan. Application of these criteria ensures that each project
recommended for Council consideration does indeed support the policy objectives of the City’s
long-term planning documents and identifies a basis for scheduling and allocation of resources.
Cost estimates have been developed for each project based on preliminary project descriptions,
and include all estimated costs for land acquisition, permits and inspections, project management
and project engineering, consultant design, construction, utilities, information technology
infrastructure and other associated project fees. Estimates are in today’s dollars.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES
Time Period
The Finance and Information Technology Department, in cooperation with all other City
Departments and the City Attorney, shall produce a working document designed to identify capital
needs bi-annually in conjunction with the budget process. This Five-Year Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) is submitted to the City Council to utilize in reviewing and prioritizing capital projects.
4-8
Page 6 of 80
Type of Project
Definition of a capital asset: An asset with a cost in excess of $5,000 and an expected useful life
of more than one year, such as automobiles, equipment, and furniture. These items will continue
to be included in the operating budget. Items such as automobiles, minor equipment, and
furniture will continue to be accounted for and funded using the Equipment Replacement Fund
and are not included in the capital improvement plan.
Definition of a capital project: A project expected to have a useful life greater than ten years and
an estimated cost of $100,000 or more. Capital projects include the construction, acquisition, or
major renovation of buildings, utility systems, or other structures, purchase of land, and major
landscaping projects.
Projects meeting the above definition will be included in the CIP document in addition to the City’s
two-year budget document. The information will be tied to the capital budget and totals for each
project in the CIP will be included in the capital budget.
Selecting the Projects for the CIP
The comprehensive capital project planning process has the following essential components:
The General Plan (Long-term Plan- 10 Years)
The Capital Improvement Plan (Mid-term Plan- 5 Years)
The Capital Budget (Short-term Plan- 1 Year)
City Council Tactical Plan (Long-term and Short-term- evaluated each year)
All projects selected for the CIP should be consistent with the goals identified in the City Council
Tactical Plan or as outlined in the City’s General Plan. The project selection process strives to
achieve a balanced plan for the community to include all necessary and high priority projects,
while also enhancing City services and facilities.
Operating Budget Impact Identified in the CIP
The operating impact of proposed capital projects, including personnel, operating expenditures,
capital outlay, and debt service, as applicable, will be identified in the CIP document and
considered in preparing the annual operating budget and Five-Year Financial Model.
Moving Projects from the CIP to the Capital Budget
All projects approved in the annual capital budget are appropriated at the estimated cost to
complete the project. At the end of each fiscal year, the remaining appropriation for uncompleted
portions of the project will be carried forward to subsequent fiscal years.
Staff will identify the estimated costs, potential funding sources, operating impact, and project
schedule for each capital project proposal before it is submitted to the City Council.
Staff will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with the development of the
operating budget. All costs for internal professional services needed to implement the CIP will be
included in the capital budget as part of the two-year budget document for the years the CIP is to
be implemented.
Cost tracking for components of the capital improvement program will be updated semi-annually
to ensure project completion against budget and established time lines.
Definition of Capital Budget Year
A capital budget year runs concurrent to the operating budget fiscal year beginning July 1st and
ending June 30th.
Types of Financing
The nature and cost of the project generally determine financing options as do projected revenue
resources. The following financing instruments could be used in the following preferred order:
4-9
Page 7 of 80
Outside funding that does not require repayment, including grants, federal, state and
county restricted funding (i.e. transportation funding), and donations;
Developer Fees;
City restricted revenue imposed by voters (i.e. environmental excise tax, storm drain user
fee);
Accumulated Fund Balances in Restricted Funds;
General Fund;
Debt secured by a Restricted Revenue Source; and
General Obligation Debt.
Remaining Balances
It is the City’s policy to apply restricted funding sources after a project is completed and final cost
is identified, or at the close of each fiscal year, whichever occurs first.
Evaluation of Capital Projects
Capital project and program reviews are to monitor existing project performance and to update
the five year CIP. Each project must be actively managed and semi-annual reports on the
physical and fiscal status of each project should be made available to the City Council in
conjunction with the budget adoption and Mid-Year Review.
Green Building Standards
As a way to create a more sustainable way of life, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes requires the
incorporation of green building principles and practices into the design, construction, and
operation of all City facilities, and to evaluate all land purchases for future development on the
basis of reducing environmental impacts whenever feasible.
Standards for Maintenance
It is important to have standards in place for the various infrastructure systems throughout the
City to maintain this investment and be positioned to provide adequate services for the residents
of Rancho Palos Verdes. Staff will develop maintenance standards and schedules as
appropriate.
Contingency Policy
The need for contingencies will be evaluated with each project and be included in the CIP on a
case-by-case basis.
Project Change Orders
Project change orders will be made in accordance with the policy stated in Section 02.44.25 of
the Municipal Code. This policy requires that specific purchasing procedures be followed and
City Council approval obtained for any amount over twenty-five thousand dollars.
GENERAL PLAN GOALS
The goals stated below are included in the City’s General Plan which serves as the City’s long-
term strategic planning tool. The General Plan is currently undergoing its first update since its
adoption. The Director of Community Development has advised the CIP Team that none of the
proposed revisions that have been under consideration will significantly impact the draft CIP
Framework. Staff has elected to refer to the current General Plan in the conjunction with the
development of the CIP Framework. All CIP projects should contribute to fulfilling one or more of
the goals listed below to create a balanced, sustainable community.

BUILDINGS AND OTHER FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Buildings and other facility improvements may include any proposed new City
facility or renovation or improvement of any existing City facilities. The City owns
and maintains twelve public buildings, including:
City Hall Administration Building at Upper Point Vicente Park
City Hall Community Development Building at Upper Point Vicente Park
City Hall trailer leased by Palos Verdes on the Net at Upper Point Vicente
Park
City Hall Emergency Communications Center trailer at Upper Point
Vicente Park
Fred Hesse Jr. Community Center Building
Pointe Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC)
Ryan Park Building
Ladera Linda Community Center Buildings (5)
Except for PVIC, these buildings are 25 years old or older and showing the signs
of daily use. Many of the facilities were purchased from the school district or
transferred to the City from the federal government, and little to no improvements
have been made since their acquisition. It is important to perform adequate
maintenance to extend the life of these facilities. It will be necessary to renovate
these buildings as they age to meet the needs of the community and ensure that
all building and safety guidelines are satisfied. Point Vicente Interpretive Center,
the most recently remodeled City facility, was built in 1984 and expanded in
2005. The City Hall buildings and Ladera Linda Community Center buildings are
the best examples of buildings that are in great need of renovation to meet
organizational needs, comply with safety and code requirements, and comply
with all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. The projects listed on
the following pages have been developed based on individual staff assessments,
input from the community and professional consultants’ assessments and
studies.

PROJECT: ADA COMPLIANCE PROJECTS
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION:
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The Citywide ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan has been
completed, and is expected to be presented to the City Council in
coordination with the City’s capital improvements strategic goals.
The Plan has a preliminary implementation cost estimate of
$6,675,000. This estimate does not include ADA improvements
for the City Hall and Ladera Linda Community Center since any
potential improvements at those sites are expected to make the
facilities fully accessible. Additionally, this cost does not include
the side walks and curb ramps which are not at the intersections,
as those improvements are expected to be included in the
roadway resurfacing programs. The cost for programs and
services accessibility is expected to be covered through operating
budgets and therefore is not included in this total cost, either. The
annual request of $100,000 will cover highest priority
improvements as set by the Department of Justice guidelines.
The first program will cover the cost of providing ADA compliance
access to City facilities starting with the removal of safety hazards
and severe barriers.

ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Roadway infrastructure is one of the most widely used major capital investments
of a municipality. Without a well-maintained street system, the transportation
needs of the public, business, industry and government cannot be met. The
roads are also part of a critical public safety need, and they contribute to the
general health and welfare of the community. Maintaining quality roadway
infrastructure is also important in maintaining property values. It has been shown
that property values tend to suffer from poorly maintained streets. Roadway
infrastructure includes residential streets, arterial streets and traffic safety
improvements. In the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, there are 33.68 miles of
arterial streets, 6.46 miles of collector streets and 103.31 miles of residential
streets. The total for all streets and alleys mileage is 143.44 centerline miles.
To manage the City’s residential and arterial streets, the City hires a consultant
to complete a full detailed assessment of all streets every three years. This
report, known as the Pavement Management System, helps to identify any
serious issues and provides the City with a rating for each street. The report
includes the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The City of Rancho Palos
Verdes minimum standard for PCI for a municipal street system is 80. The City’s
current PCI is 84.2 based upon the PMS report prepared by Willdan &
Associates in 2009. Since 1997, the City has maintained a pavement rating
between 80 and 90. The report also helps in defining a schedule to complete the
work. The City has been divided into nine zones for residential streets, but in the
case of some areas, zones may be completed together in one year for added
efficiency.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
Public utilities improvements include the maintenance and development of utility
projects such as the City’s sanitary sewer system or the undergrounding of utility
lines. The City’s sanitary sewer system is essential for City operations, yet it has
not required significant expenditures in past years due to an inter-local
agreement with Los Angeles County for maintenance activities. The City owns
the system, but the County has the primary responsibility for ongoing
maintenance. The County collects a sewer fee from the City’s property owners
that Staff believes is inadequate to maintain the system. Although the County
maintains the City’s sewer system, the City retains responsibility for its operation,
public safety and welfare. The City, not the County, maintains legal and
regulatory responsibility (i.e. any state or federal fines resulting from spillage).
In preparation for this change, the City conducted a survey of the system, and in
2004 the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan was created to help in the management of
this asset. The study examined sample areas throughout the City and assessed
the overall system as “fair.” The inspection revealed root intrusion in the pipes
and cracking in the pipes, in addition to accumulated fats and grease clogging
certain areas. It appeared that the County had not been performing adequate
maintenance over the years. Without regular maintenance, overflows due to root
and grease blockages will occur. To minimize the potential for overflow and to
restore and maintain the system in “good” condition, a significant investment in
pipeline inspection, repair and maintenance is required. Because the County is
still primarily responsible for maintenance of the system, no projects have been
included for this system. However, the Sanitary Master Plan Update was
received and filed by the City Council on November 17, 2009. Future projects
may be proposed based on this assessment.

STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
In June 2004, the City’s consulting engineers prepared an Update to the Storm
Drain Master Plan. The updated plan identified serious storm drain deficiencies
that required significant repair. The update identified 38 high-priority projects,
which were the basis for establishing a “user fee.” Since then, some projects
have been completed, and others have been reassessed to meet changing
priorities and needs. The 38 projects have been reevaluated resulting in
grouping the projects into 12 project areas. These are based on identifiable
drainage areas/systems, most of which are tied to natural canyon drainage
systems. Each project has been grouped into a project area. The areas are as
follows:
Area 1: Sunnyside Ridge
Area 2: McCarrell Canyon Storm Drain System
Area 3: Lower San Ramon Canyon/Tarapaca Canyon

PROJECT: STORM DRAIN LINING
TYPE: Storm Drain System
LOCATION: Project Area 12
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
All CMP storm drain lines within the City have reached their design
life expectancy and need to be lined to extend their life another
30+ years. CMP dating back to the 1940s have been discovered
and require maintenance along with those most recently installed
in the 1970s. A large number of drainage problems citywide can
be overcome by relining deteriorated pipes and improving inlets
and outlet structures.

RECREATION, PARKS & OPEN SPACE
The development and maintenance of community parks, recreational areas and
open space has been established as a top priority for the City as stated in the
General Plan and various other planning documents. The General Plan states,
“It is the goal of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to conserve, protect and
enhance its natural resources, beauty and open space for the benefit and
enjoyment of its residents and the residents of the entire region. Future
development shall recognize the sensitivity of the natural environment and
be accomplished in such a manner as to maximize the protection of it.”
Many park sites and open space areas have been acquired throughout the City,
and some have been developed for use by the general public. Some sites
remain vacant or underutilized. The City Council approved the Vision Plan in
September 2008 which outlines various trail and park projects which have been
included in this plan. The Public Use Master Plan has also outlined a strategy for
the development of trails which has also been incorporated into the CIP list.
These recreational projects add to the vibrancy of the community and they are
designed to contribute to all residents’ quality of life. Parks and other open
spaces have been carefully planned to take advantage of the beautiful coastline
and natural landscape of the peninsula.

TYPE: Recreation, Parks and Open Space
LOCATION: Ryan Park
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The existing building and restrooms at Ryan Park were
constructed in 1970 by L.A. County. The restrooms are aged, in
poor condition and have not had any major improvements since
they were built. Additionally, the lower parking lot, the ramp and
the restrooms are not ADA compliant. The park is heavily used by
the community over the weekends, during the holidays and in the
summer. The recent athletic field improvement has increased the
community’s interest in using the park during athletic seasons.
These improvements are necessary for enhancing service to the
community by implementing corrective work at the lower parking
lot and ramp, and, making the restrooms accessible, safe and
sanitary.

PROJECT: RYAN PARK SOUTHERN ENTRANCE
ROAD
TYPE: Recreation, Parks and Open Space
LOCATION: Ryan Park
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The steep southern entrance of Ryan Park is at a sharp angle with
Hawthorne Blvd. The geometrics of this entrance cause difficulty
for motorists who drive southbound on Hawthorne Blvd and want
to make a right turn onto the driveway entrance. The parking lot
accessed through this driveway is exclusively used for ADA
compliant parking spaces. This increases the need to realign the
entrance. Design of this improvement is the first step toward
addressing this issue and will provide a more realistic cost
estimate for the project.

PROJECT: CITY HALL
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: TBD
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
Currently, City Hall is located at the Upper Point Vicente Park site
in the former Nike Missile barracks constructed by the military in
1956. The building is not well-suited for the general office needs
and space requirements as specified in greater detail below.
There are also many safety and building code compliance issues
that exist. In addition to these deficiencies, the building also does
not meet ADA guidelines, which may create a significant risk and
liability for the City. The City currently has 58 full-time positions
housed in the main City Hall Building and the Community
Development Department annex. In addition to the 58 full-time
positions, the City contracts with outside consultants for some City
services and employs part-time staff and utilizes volunteers for
various tasks. These positions require an additional 8 work
stations and a work space for visiting City Council members
should also be included for remodeling/rebuilding purposes,
bringing the total to 9 additional spaces. These calculations do not
account for future positions which could be necessary to address
increased service demands from the community, additional
recreational facilities, increased regulation and continued
regulatory demands from other public agencies. The existing
buildings have a total of 20,489 square feet. The suggested
space requirement according to the U.S. General Administration
Office of Government-wide Policy for the 67 positions is 19,263
square feet. There is a shortage of storage space for planning
records which requires approximately 690 square feet. A new or
remodeled City Hall would also include a City Council chamber,
main lobby, conference rooms and other support space.
Approximately 34,210 square feet would be optimal for this
building to meet current and future needs. The Civic Center will
include an Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

PROJECT: INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
AT UPPER POINT VICENTE
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: 30940 Hawthorne Blvd.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
Currently, the Upper Point Vicente Park site is the location for City
Hall and the City’s maintenance yard. There have been various
proposed developments for the site through many community
planning efforts. Although a Civic Center Master plan has not
been developed, it is necessary to address several infrastructure
improvement needs ahead of time. These include: installation of a
sewer pipeline, installation of a piped storm drain system to
channel storm water to PVDS, and relocation of the existing mono-
pole. There is no gas service to the site, therefore, future
development may require that gas access be made available
through connection in the ROW on PVDS. Access to the site is
only permitted from Hawthorne Blvd and it is possible that a traffic
study will require the installation of a traffic signal on Hawthorne
Blvd. The cost estimate is conceptually based at this time.
Specific cost estimates can be prepared when programming and
planning for these improvements are completed.

Park site which had been identified for various other community
uses due to its prime location. Staff is proposing the creation of a
central location for the maintenance yard with satellite locations
throughout the City, serving the maintenance and other
construction needs of the Public Works Department. The central
location of the maintenance yard will be situated at or near City
Hall for administrative purposes. This central location will control
all satellite locations through the use of maintenance personnel
and through the efficient use of the City’s network.

TRAFFIC CIRCULATION & SAFETY
IMPROVEMENT
TYPE: Roadway Infrastructure
LOCATION: Hesse Park
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
With plans to improve Lower Hesse Park and current traffic
concerns relating to access and vehicular circulation, actions are
needed to improve left-turn access from Verde Ridge Road and
Locklenna Lane onto Hawthorne Blvd. Additionally, pedestrian
access across Hawthorne Blvd from Doverridge Drive to Hesse
Park is a concern. Lastly, park parking and parking along
Locklenna Lane is a concern to neighboring residents especially
when the park improvements are realized. A study is currently
being conducted to develop a preliminary plan to address the
current issues. Once the park improvements are designed, a
supplemental traffic study will be prepared to address specific
demand generated by the park’s proposed uses.

PROJECT: TRAILHEAD/OVERLOOK/VISTA POINT
DEVELOPMENT
TYPE: Recreation, Parks, & Open Space
LOCATION:
DEPARTMENT: Public Works/Planning
DESCRIPTION:
The Vision Plan identifies the construction of major trailheads at
key entrances to the existing City trail system. It is proposed that
trailheads be located at widened areas near the start of trails, with
a permeable surface pad made up of decomposed granite, gravel
or bark mulch. Furnishings would include a bench, a plastic bag
kiosk for dog owners, and trash and recycling receptacles.
Signage will include a Trailhead sign or possibly a freestanding
kiosk for trail notices. Small native trees for shade and pockets of
native shrubs, where appropriate, are also envisioned at trailhead
locations. Phase 1 would involve the development of the trail
head location at Shoreline Park/25th Street. Phase 2 would involve
the development of the following trail head locations: Cul-de-sac
next to St. Paul’s Church, Del Cerro Park, and the end of Ocean
Terrace. Phase 3 would involve the development of a trail head
location at the Switchbacks/PVDE Turnout.
The Vision Plan identifies the construction of overlooks and vista
points either in the Preserve or on other public lands within the
Vision Plan project area. It is proposed that overlooks/vista points
be placed on decomposed granite, or other permeable material
pad with flush stone edging. Furnishings at overlooks/vista points
are to include a semicircle bench as well as a stone pilaster
displaying any information, such as the name of any donor being
recognized. A stone clad retaining wall, less than 3 feet in height,
may also be incorporated into the overlook/vista point as
necessary. Plant pockets of native shrubs are also envisioned.
Phase 1 would involve the development of Inspiration Point and
Eagles Nest overlooks/vista points. Phase 2 would involve the
development of the following overlooks/vista points: Cul-de-sac
next to St. Paul’s Church, Del Cerro Park and the end of Ocean
Terrace. Phase 3 would involve the development of the following
overlooks/vista points: Switchbacks/PVDE Turnout, Paintbrush
Canyon/Burma Road, and Burma Road above Gateway Park.
