SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Approved: ~ ~ \.\ _ ____.......,~_D_a-ve-K=if-f~,~µ,e-\, 1 _M_an_a_g-erThe Facilities Master Plan (FMP) Workshop is the first of three City Council sessions designed to provide an update on the FMP. This session, presented by Griffin Structures, focuses on the findings from the Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs), the community outreach, and outlines the next steps in the FMP process. The FCAs identified both immediate, mid-term and long-term needs for 18 City-owned facilities, including Fire Station# 1, the Laguna Beach Library, and City Hall. Immediate improvements totaling $17 .1 million (which include seismic improvements) were recommended for critical repairs, with future costs projected to reach $313 million over the next 20 years.
Several policy decisions will need to be considered by the City Council as the FMP progresses through the next phases. For example, a decision will be made on whether to relocate Fire Station #1 to the Village Entrance, balancing the costs of maintaining the current facility against the operational benefits of relocation. Additionally, as the FMP moves into Phase 2, the Council will need to evaluate the trade-offs between maintaining existing facilities and relocating services for efficiency. During Phase 3, the Council will assess sustainable renovation or expansion options verses new construction considerations. Phase 4 will require the Council to explore funding strategies, such as grants, public-private partnerships, municipal bonds, sales and transient occupancy tax initiative, and the Capital Improvement Fund, to address the projected costs.
Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
Although we are still early in the FMP process, these workshops provide the City Council and the community with valuable opportunities to receive updates on the progress of the FMP and to offer input and direction as the plan moves forward.
DISCUSSION
Facility Condition Assessment Reports:
The FCA reports cover 18 City facilities that include an Animal Shelter, City Hall Complex, Corporation Yard, Festival of Arts Complex, Fire Station #1, Fire Station #2, Fire Station #3, Laguna Beach Community and Recreation Center, Laguna Beach Community and Susi Q Center, Lang Park Community Center, Lifeguard Headquarters, Lost Pier Café, Laguna Beach Library, Public Works Building, Laguna Playhouse, Parking Lot #11-Forest/Laguna Canyon Lot, Parking Lot #12 Lumberyard Parking Lot, and Lot #14 - Hagan Place Parking Garage. Each report assesses the current condition of building systems (such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical), structural integrity, accessibility (ADA compliance), and future maintenance needs. The assessments use a Facility Condition Index (FCI) to quantify the condition of each facility, with higher FCIs indicating a greater need for repairs or upgrades over time. The FCAs also project costs for each facility over the next 20 years, helping the City plan for budgetary and operational decisions, including providing the City with the data necessary to create maintenance software.
The FCA categorizes the maintenance and upgrade needs of City facilities into five timeframes:
1. Immediate needs: important functionality and potential safety issues (0-1 year, $17.1 million).
2. Short-term needs: focus on pressing infrastructure repairs (1-2 years, $6.4 million).
3. Near-term needs: include essential repairs and system upgrades (3-5 years, $36.0 million).
4. Mid-term needs: address lifecycle maintenance and major system replacements (6-10 years, $98.5 million).
5. Long-term needs: focus on ongoing facility upkeep and modernization (11-20 years, $155.7 million).
Some immediate improvements were identified to the building and repairs, including $1.5 million in seismic improvements to Fire Station #1, $1.15 million for HVAC and exterior upgrades at the Laguna Beach Library, and $297,000 for roofing and HVAC repairs at the City Hall. Other highlights from the FCAs include:
• Fire Station #1: Built in 1931 and renovated in 1990, Fire Station #1 is rated as fair with an FCI of
16.2%, projected to rise to 30.7% over the next ten years. Significant maintenance needs include $490,400 for electrical system upgrades and $1.5 million for seismic repairs. • Fire Station #2: Currently rated as fair, with an FCI of 12.7%, projected to rise to 23.4% over the next 10 years. Key maintenance needs include $1.38 million in seismic repairs, along with plumbing and HVAC upgrades totaling $405,800.
• Fire Station #3: Built in 1968 and renovated in 2016, Fire Station #3 has a current FCI of 17.4%, projected to reach 21.5% in 10 years. Key issues include $1.77 million for seismic and operational upgrades.
Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
• Laguna Beach Library: In good condition with a current FCI of 6.0%, but expected to increase to
24.0% in the next decade due to necessary exterior and HVAC repairs. The City entered into an agreement with the County to spend or have a capital plan to spend $4.2 million by August 2025. • Laguna Beach Community and Recreation Center: In excellent condition with a current FCI of
0.0%, but expected to increase between 18.3%-34.8% in ten years. Despite its excellent physical condition, the facility is underutilized, with efforts being made to enhance its use. • Lang Park: Currently in good condition with a low FCI of 0.2%, but projected to rise to 24.2% over the next decade due to the need to upgrade outdoor spaces and recreational amenities. The facility is underutilized, presenting an opportunity for improved community programming. • City Hall Complex: Rated fair, with an FCI of 11.6%, but projected to increase to 45.5% over the next 10 years, requiring significant investment in roofing, HVAC, and plumbing systems.
Overall, most of the facilities are in excellent to good condition, but most will require maintenance or upgrades over the next 10 to 20 years, with FCIs rising to fair or poor in several cases if improvements are not made.
Community Feedback:
From May through September 2024, the City of Laguna Beach held a series of public meetings and events, engaging the community through 140 touchpoints, including town hall meetings, stakeholder meetings, and pop-up events. These efforts focused on gathering input for the FMP and covered key City facilities such as the Susi Q Center, Community & Recreation Center, Festival of Arts Complex, Laguna Beach Playhouse, Animal Shelter, Laguna Beach Library, and more.
Feedback was gathered through meeting discussions and community emails, highlighting the community's priorities for modernization, accessibility, and space utilization across these facilities.
For the Laguna Beach Community & Susi Q Center and the Laguna Beach Community & Recreation Center, residents expressed concerns about limited parking, accessibility, and underutilized spaces. They emphasized the need for facility upgrades to better serve the community and nonprofit organizations.
Suggestions included expanding the existing building, creating more meeting spaces for nonprofits, and enhancing digital and emergency preparedness capabilities. There were also creative solutions offered, such as building upwards or reconfiguring spaces to accommodate more functions. Additionally, outdoor social spaces like bocci ball courts were proposed, alongside continued interest in incorporating a community pool in future development plans.
Feedback for the Festival of Arts Complex and Laguna Beach Playhouse centered around ADA compliance, performance space needs, and better utilization of existing areas. Residents expressed the need for dedicated performance and rehearsal spaces to support local performing arts groups, particularly those struggling to secure venues. There were also concerns about accessibility upgrades for the Playhouse and Forum Theater, along with suggestions to explore multi-level parking solutions or repurpose nearby tennis courts to alleviate parking pressures.
At the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter, while the community acknowledged improvements made after the 2010 remodel, there were ongoing concerns about space and functionality limitations. Suggestions included Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
expanding the facility to create more space for offices, volunteers, and adoption areas, as well as upgrading technology for showcasing adoptable animals and improving operations. Enhancing the shelter’s emergency preparedness, including power backup systems, was also highlighted as a critical need.
Regarding the Laguna Beach Library, there was overwhelming support for preserving the library at its current downtown location due to its cultural and historical significance. However, participants strongly emphasized the need for modernization, including improving study areas, meeting rooms, and overall aesthetics. Parking and traffic flow around the library were also raised as significant concerns, with suggestions for improving accessibility for visitors. Residents further suggested that the library could play a larger role as a cultural hub by incorporating local art and history, as well as expanding services like tool and item rentals. There was notable opposition to any potential relocation of the library or the conversion of its site into a parking structure.
Additionally, citywide parking challenges were frequently raised. The community proposed creative solutions like repurposing underutilized spaces, such as tennis courts or fields, to address parking concerns.
Suggestions were also made to enhance mobility and pedestrian access throughout the city, with a potential focus on creating a bike and pedestrian master plan. Community outreach will continue throughout the development of the FMP. Residents can follow the progress of the FMP on the City’s website at:
https://www.lagunabeachcity.net/our-initiatives/facilities-master-plan.
Breakaway projects:
Prior to and during the development of the FMP, several projects were identified as “Breakaway Projects”.
These Breakaway Projects were identified to address an urgent need of the facility, a need to leverage available funding, improve the functionality of existing facilities, or ensure future projects do not limit future growth opportunities. In short, Breakaway Projects can be defined as those requiring immediate attention due to critical building constraints/concerns and/or the availability of funds that must be used within a specific timeframe.
For example, Fire Station #1 was identified as a Breakaway Project and prioritized by the City Council due to the building’s age, growth limitations, and the potential to improve both response times, as identified in the Standards of Cover Report and the City’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating by relocating the facility to the Village Entrance. Work is already underway to evaluate options for relocating the station to the Village Entrance, with design alternatives being explored to ensure the new facility meets modern standards while minimizing its footprint.
The Laguna Beach Library was designated a Breakaway Project because the City, in coordination with the County of Orange, is obligated to invest $4.2 million in capital improvements, with projects needing to be identified by August 2025; a conceptual plan for the library could be completed by Spring of 2025. The next phase of this project will focus on planning and identifying which improvements will deliver the most value to the community and can be presented to the City Council.
Another Breakaway Project is the Village Entrance, where the City must balance plans for a new parking structure with the potential development of other facilities at the location, such as a museum. Additionally, Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
ongoing work is to improve and expand the use of the Laguna Beach Community and Recreation Center by addressing current underutilization and enhancing its services for the community.
Breakaway Projects progress in parallel with the broader FMP but remain independent of its overall timeline to ensure that important deadlines and progress are met. Griffin and staff may recommend adding to the list of Breakaway projects throughout the FMP process as data support. The City Council can change, modify, or add Breakaway Projects anytime.
Facilities Master Plan – Next Steps:
The next phases of the FMP will focus on assessing future space needs, developing space planning options, and formulating cost estimates and funding strategies.
Phase 2 – involves the completion of a comprehensive collection and review of data on current space utilization across the facilities, along with projecting future space needs, including staff and parking requirements for the next 20 years. This will lead to a gap analysis to identify areas where facility improvements or expansions are necessary.
Phase 3 – the focus shifts to space planning and exploring alternative service locations. The Griffin team will evaluate whether to renovate or replace existing facilities with new structures integrating data developed in Phases 1 and 2. Stakeholder and City Council input will be critical in shaping these decisions, ensuring alignment with the City’s long-term goals. This phase will also include detailed studies of internal functions, space allocation, and circulation patterns to optimize facility efficiency.
Phase 4 – will involve the development of cost estimates and funding strategies. The project team will create a conceptual project budget, factoring in local construction costs and inflation projections. Alongside developing cost estimates, the City will need to explore a variety of funding strategies to address both short- and long-term financial requirements. Potential options include utilizing the City’s Capital Improvement Fund (CIP) for immediate needs, securing grants from state, federal, and private sources for public safety and sustainability projects, and considering Public-Private Partnerships (P3) for larger projects like Fire Station #1 relocation. Municipal bonds may be issued to finance significant infrastructure improvements, spreading costs over 10-20 years.
A phased implementation approach could prioritize urgent needs while deferring less critical upgrades to manage financial strain. Additionally, tax increases or special assessments could be explored to generate revenue for specific projects, though public support will be crucial for these measures.
Community outreach and involvement – will remain important throughout the FMP process, and the Ad Hoc Committee is working to formalize the selection process and scope for a Community Working Group. This group will play an important role as we enter Phases 2 and 3 of the FMP. The scope of work for the Working Group is expected to be presented to the City Council later this year.
Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
Follow up on Ad Hoc Committee Recommendations approved by the City Council:
The Ad Hoc Committee identified several key priorities, approved by the City Council, to be addressed in the FMP. These include maximizing the short-term use of the Laguna Beach Community and Recreation Center and evaluating the potential for future development at the Village Entrance identified earlier in this report as Breakaway Projects. Additional updates include:
At the Laguna Beach Community and Recreation Center, progress has been made with the relocation of the Fire Administration and the expansion of recreation services, including increased field use. Improvements to cellular service have been achieved by installing boosters, though internet access in the classrooms and limited parking remain challenges. Staff continues outreach efforts to promote the availability of the space, and further recommendations on enhancements will be presented in Phases 3 and 4 of the FMP.
For Fire Station #1, alternatives for relocating the facility to the Village Entrance are under review. Meetings between Griffin, DLR Group (Parking structure designer), and Public Works are underway to assess the impacts of the fire station and parking structure at the Village Entrance, with a parking structure update and initial findings expected to be presented to the City Council in November.
Regarding public-private partnerships at the Village Entrance, the City Council directed staff to work with Griffin to develop a scope of work to explore the viability of public-private partnerships at this location.
However, after discussions with Griffin, it was determined that their involvement could create a conflict of interest for future project bids. Therefore, staff is working on the scope of working and expects to present the proposal to the City Council as part of Phase 4 of the FMP.
Ad Hoc Committee New Recommendation: Laguna Beach: Path Forward The Ad Hoc Committee recommends that the City Council consider initiating a strategy tentatively named Laguna Beach: Path Forward.
With limited funding, staff resources, and the risk of plans becoming outdated, the Ad Hoc Committee believes the City Council should consider prioritizing the City’s infrastructure and stewardship projects.
This is particularly important as Laguna Beach approaches its 100-year anniversary in 2027, prepares for the visitor impact of the 2028 Olympics, and works toward completing key initiatives by 2030. The strategy aims to prioritize improvement and stewardship projects already identified in plans such as the Parking and Transportation Demand Management, Electrification of the City Fleet, Complete Streets, Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, Downtown Action Plan, and the FMP, with a focus on available funding, staff resources, and the feasibility of completing projects by 2030.
The Ad Hoc Committee proposes presenting the City Council at a future Council meeting with a scope for Laguna Beach: Path Forward. The goal is to collaborate with the City Council and the community to prioritize projects based on available resources and funding, ensuring that initiatives important to the community are the focus. The plan will establish clear project completion targets, with the intent that some will be timed to commemorate the City’s 100-year anniversary in 2027, those to prepare for the expected increase in visitors during the 2028 Olympics, and those with an overall goal to be completed by 2030. By engaging both the City Council and the community in setting these priorities, Laguna Beach: Path Facility Master Plan Workshop
October 22, 2024
Forward will ensure that critical projects advance while preserving the City’s unique character and charm as it enters its next 100 years.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The Facility Assessment Reports estimates that maintaining City-owned buildings will cost a total of $300 million over the next 20 years. This includes $5.4 million for immediate needs, which require attention within the next few months to ensure functionality and safety; $6.4 million for short-term needs (1-2 years), focused on addressing urgent infrastructure issues; $35.5 million for near-term needs (3-5 years), involving essential repairs and upgrades; $9.5 million for mid-term needs (6-10 years), covering major maintenance and system replacements; and $155.7 million for long-term needs (11-20 years), aimed at facility upkeep and modernization.
No appropriation is requested at this time, and a financial plan for the FMP will be presented in Phase 4 of the project.

PRIORITIES: RECREATION n~~l~~i~
There was a notable call for more classes at the CRC, with many feeling that the site is not living up to its potential as a recreation center. Despite its much smaller size, Susi Q is perceived as a much more frequent destination that residents are overall more positive about. Ideas for what to do with the CRC differ and are included below. ®
~
'e)
@)
22 Pool
The community is very concerned with maintaining
consistent access to a pool and would like to see a new one added as soon as possible. Popular locations include the CRC and Lang Park.
Programming
Community would like to see more varied
programming (i.e. art classes and educational
programming) and more free classes - especially on
weekends.
School
Other residents said it might be best if the CRC were
to return to its roots as a school. This idea was
especially popular with residents of South Laguna, who
say access to nearby schools has become a problem in
recent years.
, .
PRIORITIES: ARTS
There is a high demand for dedicated artistic workspaces, as well as space to demo and sell art all year round. Irvine and Newport Beach were suggested as examples of successful art centers to be modeled. Most of all, open and affordable studio spaces were seen as essential to maintaining Laguna Beach's artistic community. ®

What we heard ...
Members of the art community
consistently championed the idea
of creating a new Cultural Arts
Center capable of addressing all
of th ese common complaints.
Another popular idea among the
community was removing the
tennis courts from the Irvine
Bowl in favor of artist housing,
multi-level parking or a home for
the Cultural Arts Center.
PRIORITIES: LIBRARY
The community is committed to keeping the library at its current site and enhancing its facilities and services to better serve residents as a cultural and educational hub. While ideas for the interior are finalized, residents insisted that the exterior could immediately benefit enormously from a fresh coat of paint. ~ I @

Currently no backup power system, and outages
are frequent. Overall facili ty resilience needs to
