Lido Village Citizens Advisory Panel Discussion Summary August 18, 2010 4. Role and responsibility of the CAP for reviewing Draft Design Guidelines Todd Larner explained that City staff has reviewed and presented comments on the draft document and requested that all CAP members and members of the public review the document and submit comments to him no later than noon on Monday, August 29, 2011. At that time, all comments will be cataloged and ranked in preparation of the September 1, 2011, CAP meeting for discussion. Todd Larner also requested examples of good and bad architecture in the City and requested photographs that can be included in the 90% Draft Design Guidelines. 5. Discuss methods for enforcement of the Design Guidelines Todd Larner explained that the Enforcement section of Draft Design Guidelines is still under preparation. Questions and ideas regarding enforceability of the document were discussed by CAP members, staff, and members of the public. A member of the public suggested setting priorities, beginning with the dock improvements and the pedestrian bridge across the channel, which he believed would show the City's commitment, establish a focal point, and initiate an effort for improvements to the area. Tim Collins reminded the group that the focus on the CAP is to develop the Design Guidelines and not set revitalization priorities; however, the document can offer property owners incentives for delivering public benefits, infrastructure upgrades, and iconic fixtures that benefit the village. 6. Development of slogan Todd Larner presented the idea of creating a slogan for the Lido Village area and provided examples of slogans. Todd Larner requested CAP members and members of the public begin to think of possible slogans for discussion at the next CAP meeting. 7. City website — http:// www .newportbeachca.gov /index.aspx ?page +1959 Todd Larner explained that the agendas and project materials are available online and explained how to access the website. 8. Concluding Comments • Council Member Rush Hill recommended that the Design Guidelines be revised to be more concise and utilize more exhibits to facilitate the usability of the document. • CAP members agreed that all new developments and significant remodeling of buildings in the Lido Village area should be subject to the design guidelines to promote a unifying theme for the area. • As a result of public comments, Tim Collins indicated that the 80% Draft Design Guidelines and future drafts would be provided to all property owners within the Lido Village area. 9.
