to be reconstructed of pre- existing floor area and parking spaces (Similar policies for Balboa Village and
Corona del Mar)

area.

will bring back appropriate policies for the committee to review.
Acting Chairperson Gardner received consensus to move forward with the analysis corresponding to the Lido
Village recommendations.
b. Mariner's Mile

Mariners' Mile and recommended the following:
Add a General Plan policy directing the establishment of a Citizen's Advisory Panel that would review
circulation, parking management, and specific land use issues.
• Revise the land use designations along the Coast Highway waterfront to limit development to
commercial and marine - related uses and eliminate residential development capacity
• Review the appropriateness for accommodating high density residential uses on inland parcels
based on market analyses and feasibility and the ability to sustain a sufficient base of commercial
uses.
Revise Policy 6.19.6 to delete reference to Specific Plan, which is no longer in place.
Acting Chair Gardner reminded committee members that residential on the bay side was a "hot button issue" from
the General Plan process.
The Committee had a general discussion about the desired land use for Mariners' Mile and how best to move
forward recommending policies that would address the highest and best use while not impacting existing noise or
views. The Committee was generally split on the best way to move forward, but agreed that they were not
supportive of establishing a CAP and would prefer to have the Planning Commission and City Council address
this area. The Committee was supportive of having the City and consultants conduct additional analysis of the
recommendations and approved deleting the reference to the Specific Plan in Policy 6.19.6.
