FROM: Dave Kiff, Assistant City Manager
949 - 644 -3002 or dkiff @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: GENERAL DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR CITY HALL, PARK, AND
PARKING STRUCTURE
ISSUE:
What guidance should the City Council give to the design teams that will respond in the
City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Competition in regards to building height,
building size, park details, budget and more?
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Approve the General Design Parameters included in Attachment A and direct that these
be the parameters for the City Hall Design Committee and respondents to the RFQ to
follow for the Newport Beach City Hall and Park Master Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City, guided by the City Hall Design Committee, has issued a Request for
Qualifications (see City's website) for the design of the New City Hall and related
facilities (including a park and parking structure). The process by which the Design
Committee and the Council will review designs includes a design competition.
A significant part of the design process includes guidance given to the design teams as
to things like:
• Building size
• Height limitations
• Park type /style
• Landscaping issues
• Linkage with the Central Library
• Access and circulation
• Parking facility space needs
• Budget for each element — the City Hall building, the parking structure, and the park.
• More
General Design Parameters for City Mall, Park, and Parking Structure
April 22, 2008
Page 2
The City Council's Building Committee has offered the draft General Design Parameters
(GDPs) as shown in Attachment A to address each of these issues. At its meeting on
Monday night, April 21, 2008 (at 6:00 p.m. at the Newport Beach Central Library) the
Design Committee will have reviewed and commented on the draft GDPs. If the
Committee suggests changes, staff will bring those changes to the City Council as the
Council hears this item on Tuesday, April 22, 2008.

D (April
City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Competition
General Design Parameters
The following General Design Parameters are for the firms /teams selected to participate in the
Newport Beach City Hall and Park Master Plan Design Competition.
a. Access to Site and Circulation — The recommended access to the site and surrounding
circulation will be presented to City Council by the Building Committee on May 13, 2008.
An access /circulation study is underway and will be complete by the end of April. The
Study will be attached as Exhibit G when complete. Exhibit A shows surrounding streets,
today's access points to the Library, and identifies the three key parcels (North Parcel,
Central Parcel, Library Parcel) subject to the master plan.
b. City Hall location on the site — The City Hall and its parking shall generally be located in
the Central Parcel south of the projection of Farrallon Drive, as shown on Exhibit B.
c. Building Height — The height of the City Hall building (and parking facility) shall be no
higher than the height limits imposed by the Newport Village PC Text View Plane limitation
as depicted on Exhibit C (to be added) except that architectural design features,
appropriate to the scale of the primary structure, may penetrate the view plane created by
the aforementioned height limits. Height limits in the Newport Village PC Text are
generally 45 feet above grade OR the View Plane limitation (expressed in feet above mean
sea level), whichever is lower. All landscaping and park improvements, at maturity, shall
be lower than the View Plane limitation.
d. Geotechnical Considerations — Geotechnical considerations will be set forth in a soils
investigation performed by Leighton Associates in April 2008 which is to be attached as
Exhibit D when completed. The current expected date for the final report is the end of
April. Preliminary results show no unique soils or water table issues.
e. Library Access and Orientation to City Hall — The Newport Beach Central Library
currently faces away from the Central Parcel and the site of City Hall, towards the ocean.
The Design should, to the greatest extent practicable, maximize the Library's relationship
to the City Hall structure through design features. These may include, but not be limited to,
a second entry, plaza, shared parking, landscaping or any other appropriate means within
the context of the proposed design.
f. Natural Park Considerations — The 5 -6 acre portion of the Central Parcel ( "Newport
Center Park ") has been proposed as a natural park (i.e. one that is reflective of the region's
natural habitats and not overly manicured nor oriented towards turfgrass). A previous
concept plan for the Newport Center Park is attached as Exhibit E. Of particular
importance is preserving the view from the southernmost meadow area and creating a
landscaped border around the natural park area as a transition from the more manicured
streetscape to the natural park.

DRAFT General Design Parameters
Page 2 of 6
g. Other Park Requirements – The southernmost meadow area of the Central Parcel and
the 3 -acre North Parcel shall have at least substantially the same park amenities and
facilities as shown in Exhibit E. An ADA- accessible path around all or part of the 20 -acre
master plan area is a desirable amenity. Both parcels shall be integrated as portions of the
same Newport Center Park. They shall have activity- oriented facilities but not any
organized sports fields. Lighting shall be limited to low- intensity safety lighting fixtures
around paths and facilities.
h. Landscaping Considerations – The landscaping of the Park and City Hall area shall use
water conserving plant material to the greatest extent possible. The intent is to not create
a desert or dry landscape palette but a palette that is "California- friendly" and blends into
the landscape palette of Newport Center and Newport Beach. Best Management Practices
in water conservation, irrigation and drainage shall be employed in the design.
i. Parking – 350 spaces shall be provided for City Hall with an additional 100 spaces for the
Central Library (the Library has a shortage of spaces currently). Parking for the general
public should be convenient to the City Hall and Library buildings. The parking structure
should be a separate structure from the City Hall building. The additional 100 library
spaces need not be in the City Hall parking structure.
j. Space Allocation and Needs Assessment Criteria – The 2002 Needs Assessment
prepared by LPA will be the primary program requirements for the City Hall Structure with
the following adjustments:
• The City desires an open floor plan concept with maximum flexibility for future
needs;
• The building shall be designed for 268 full time employees at 200 -250 square feet
per employee, not including public areas;
• The building's overall size shall be approximately 72- 79,000 total square feet
including public areas;
• The City desires a "one -stop shop" permit counter; and
• The City desires a Council Chambers with fixed seating for at least 175 persons in
the audience.
k. LEED Criteria - The City Hall Structure(s) shall be designed to at least a Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design ( "LEED ") standard of silver, with a goal to go higher, if
feasible within budgetary limitations.
I. Corona del Mar Plaza Considerations – The traffic study being done for "a" above will
evaluate any changes that should be made to the access for Corona del Mar Plaza as part
of the Master Plan. Such considerations, if any, will be shown on an attached Exhibit F
and shall be used in the overall Master Plan if provided.
m. View Considerations – Views are a sensitive issue in Newport Beach. In addition to the
criteria in "c" above, the design should protect the public views westward over the property
from MacArthur Boulevard. The design should also be sensitive to the westward views
from homes east of MacArthur Boulevard over the property. Any penetrations above the
view plane as permitted in "c" above should only serve to enhance the architectural
appearance of the City Hall structure or frame or enhance the private or public views
across the property. Usable landscaped roof treatments or roof terraces are acceptable —
H
DRAFT General Design Parameters
Page 3 of 6
these are neither encouraged nor discouraged. Also, the building and parking facility's
lighting design shall take into consideration nighttime views from the residences east of
MacArthur Boulevard.
n. Building Design — The city is not setting any design theme for the City Hall building other
than seeking a timeless design that will wear well over the years and not be dated in a few
years. The design should reflect the character of Newport Beach. It should be harmonious
with the adjacent Library and the eclectic architectural styles of Newport Center. The
building should be recognized as a significant public building.
o. Budgetary Constraints — The budgetary goal of the Project is as follows:
• Approximately $400 per square foot for the City Hall structure (not including FF &E);
• Approximately $20= 25,000 per space for the parking structure; and
• Approximately $7 per square foot for the park, landscaping and site improvements.
The City Hall must be an "essential services building" if an Emergency Operations Center
( "EOC" — which is currently located at the Newport Beach Police Headquarters about a
mile away) is moved to the City Hall. It has not yet been decided if the EOC will be moved
to City Hall. The budget parameters expressed here are not absolute amounts but are
intended to indicate the price range the City expects the project to cost. Designers should
use these numbers as a guide in preparing their submittals.
