PROJECT: Agreement for Seismic Retrofit of Balboa Theater
SUGGESTED
ACTION: Approve and authorize City Manager to execute agreement
This item has been continued from the City Council meeting of April 14, 1997, to allow for
consideration by the full Council. The report for that meeting is included in the Council agenda
packets, and describes the reasons for the agreement and its provisions. This report provides
additional background on the Theater retrofit project.
A seismic retrofit of the Balboa Theater was done in 1993 -94, to comply with State and City
requirements for unreinforced masonry buildings. The City gave final approval on the project in
May 1994, and removed the building from our inventory of hazardous buildings in June 1994.
Since completion of the seismic retrofit project, the property was purchased by CJW, Inc., who
began rehabilitating the building with the intent of leasing or selling it to the Balboa Performing
Arts Theater Foundation. In the course of the rehabilitation work, it was discovered that not all
of the work included in the approved plans for the earlier seismic retrofit had been completed.
The new owner brought this to staff s attention, and an independent investigation was done.
For the technical investigation, staff retained Willdan Associates, a firm that provides services in
several southern California cities as contract building officials, plan checkers and building
inspectors. After reviewing the City's records and conducting an inspection of the building,
Willdan concluded that several components of the approved seismic retrofit project were not
completed as shown on the original plans. These components, or alternatives approved in the
building code, are required for the seismic safety of the building.
The Assistant City Manager also conducted an internal investigation to determine how the
Building Department's inspections failed to correct the variances from the plans. The conclusion
was that the uncompleted work was not noted because the former property owner was reluctant
to do the required seismic retrofit, and staff had to struggle to gain any compliance with the State
and local laws. The project was complicated by the fact that the building permit expired and had
to be reissued (to a second contractor) before the work started, and the actual construction was
not done in a continuous fashion. A full set of plans may not have been on the job site for the
inspector's reference on each occasion when an inspection took place. Most importantly, plans
0 0
for reuse of the building changed during the course of the project, changing the requirements for
seismic protection.
To ensure that this project was an exception to the usual practice and quality of City inspections
on seismic retrofit projects, staff is rechecking other projects that were done to satisfy the same
State and City laws.
Despite these issues, as indicated in the report for April 14, 1997, staff continues to believe that
the Balboa Theater is significant to both the history and the economic future of Balboa Village.
In past years, the Theater was a key part of the vitality of the Village, and its reopening would
help to stimulate new activity and interest in the immediate vicinity. For these reasons, and to
assist the current owner and future users of the Theater to complete seismic work, staff is
recommending that the City Council approve a grant of $50,000 from the Community
Development Block Grant.

BACKGROUND
The owner of the Balboa Theater, CJW Inc., has requested City assistance with rehabilitation of
the structure, in particular with the seismic retrofit that is required prior to reopening the structure
to the public. On August 12, 1996, the City Council placed the Balboa Theater on the Register
of Historical Property. In making this determination, it was noted that the theater was
constructed in 1927 and will be the oldest operating theater in Orange County when it reopens.
Because of the theater's historical significance, staff believes it is an important structure to be
preserved for the community. In addition, rehabilitation and reopening of the facility as a
community theater is a project that can be a significant economic boost for the Balboa Village
area. Without rehabilitation, the building could continue to sit vacant, in disrepair and a blight to
the business district.
The cost of the remaining seismic retrofit work has been estimated to range from $40,000 to
$100,000. The property owner is currently negotiating sale of the Theater to the Balboa
Performing Arts Theater Foundation, a non - profit community group, and City assistance with the
seismic retrofit costs should result in a more feasible project for the Foundation.
The project is an eligible activity for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds,
because of its location in a low /moderate income area and its historic significance. Funds are
available from the 1996 -97 program year as a result of lower than expected expenditures for
ADA compliance. HUD regulations allow the City to reprogram up to 10% of our allocation
($52,000) without a formal hearing and amendment process.
AGREEMENT PROVISIONS
The attached agreement provides that the City will grant up to $50,000 in CDBG funds to
reimburse the property owner for costs that are directly related to seismic retrofit of the Theater
to comply with Federal, State and local laws. The term of the agreement is until the owner has
expended the grant, or until the property is transferred to a subsequent owner. Should transfer to

BACKGROUND
The owner of the Balboa Theater, CJW Inc., has requested City assistance with rehabilitation of

community theater is a project that can be a significant economic boost for the Balboa Village
area. Without rehabilitation, the building could continue to sit vacant, in disrepair and a blight to
the business district.
The cost of the remaining seismic retrofit work has been estimated to range from $40,000 to
$100,000. The property owner is currently negotiating sale of the Theater to the Balboa
Performing Arts Theater Foundation, a non - profit community group, and City assistance with the
seismic retrofit costs should result in a more feasible project for the Foundation.
