REPORT TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Balboa Village Design Guidelines

SUMMARY: Proposed design guidelines for properties in the Balboa Village specific plan
area and a resolution of intent to amend the Zoning Code to implement the
new design guidelines.
ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2002- to initiate the consideration of design
guidelines for Specific Plan District #8 Central Balboa, and refer to the
Planning Commission for public hearing.
Background
The Balboa Design Guidelines project is a follow up to the physical improvements to the public
infrastructure currently being carried out through the Balboa Village Pedestrian and Streetscape
improvement plan and the Balboa Peninsula Sign Overlay. The genesis for the Guidelines goes
back to several of the Peninsula planning studies that have been developed over the years, such as
Project 2000 and the Balboa Peninsula Planning Study.
In April 2000, after it was apparent that the physical improvements were designed and funded, the
City retained Mr. Ron Baers to draft a set of design guidelines for Balboa Village. This action was
discussed at and supported by the PROP (Promote Revitalization of Our Peninsula) committee on
March 24, 2000.
After several rounds of staff review the document is nearing a final draft. The Planning
Commission, as well as resident and business groups, will review the guidelines, before they are
scheduled for a hearing before the City Council.
Analysis
Balboa Village Design Guidelines
The intent and purpose of the proposed Balboa Village Design Guidelines is to provide a
framework for future development or redevelopment of residential and commercial structures. The
guidelines document includes: narrative on the character of the village; design principles; the design
guidelines; and appendices on public infrastructure improvements, fagade renovations concepts,
and implementation. The design guidelines section covers site design as various building features
such as building height, roofs, walls, lighting, etc.
The proposal for adoption and administration of the guidelines is to adopt them by resolution and to
amend the Central Balboa Specific Plan to reference the guidelines. Staff feels the Guidelines are
better suited as a stand -alone document because of the extensive use of color graphics and examples
would not translate well into the standard format of the Municipal Code. This is similar to the
process used for adoption and implementation of the Mariner's Mile Design Framework, with the
exception of the design review requirement. The Zoning Code requires that amendments be
initiated by the Planning Commission or City Council before hearings are held.
