WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on January 6, 2026, City Council conducted a discussion on LUE policies related to historic preservation and directed staff to maintain policies that continue to value historic properties while promoting a voluntary historic designation process; and
WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on January 20, 2026, City Council conducted focused discussions on the allowed building floor area ratio (FARs) for Public Institutional (PI) properties. The City Council generally supported maintaining FARs and land use designations as originally proposed in the draft updated LUE, with the exception of the Beach Cities Health District campus, which Council directed to consider setting at

WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on March 3, 2026, City Council reviewed and provided policy direction on changes to the land use designations from Public “P” to “OS” (Parks and Open Space) for all, or portions of, three School District owned properties identified as Alta Vista Elementary School Fields; the former Franklin School Site (Friendship Campus); and the Lincoln Elementary School Fields. Regarding the three sites, the City Council made separate motions directing the following: 1) that the land use designations at Alta Vista be updated so that “P” and “OS” designations follow the fence line separating Alta Vista School and Alta Vista Park; 2) to maintain a “P” designation for the portion of the property occupied by Friendship Campus and an “OS” for Franklin Park; and 3) that the “OS” designation at Lincoln Elementary be applied to the area above the baseball fields and parking lot; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing on May 5, 2026, City Council adopted amendments to the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element and associated Zoning Ordinances (2nd reading on May 12, 2026).

In their letter dated May 20, 2026, HCD found that “the adopted housing element, its amendments and Zoning Documents continue to meet the requirements of State Housing Element Law” and further cited that “This finding of substantial compliance has remained unchanged since HCD’s September 1, 2022 review.” The change in designations as part of the Housing Element amendments are reflected in the draft LUE update. Additionally, the City Council adopted an Addendum to the Certified Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2023050732) for the Redondo Beach Focused General Plan Update, Zoning Ordinance Update and Local Program Amendment confirming no additional environmental impacts or subsequent additional mitigation is required for the amendments to the Housing Element and implementing zoning ordinance amendments as part of the adoption of this project; and

WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on January 6, 2026, City Council conducted a discussion on LUE policies related to historic preservation and directed staff to maintain policies that continue to value historic properties while promoting a voluntary historic designation process; and
WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on January 20, 2026, City Council conducted focused discussions on the allowed building floor area ratio (FARs) for Public Institutional (PI) properties. The City Council generally supported maintaining FARs and land use designations as originally proposed in the draft updated LUE, with the exception of the Beach Cities Health District campus, which Council directed to consider setting at

1.25 FAR to accommodate future services; and
WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on March 3, 2026, City Council reviewed and provided policy direction on changes to the land use designations from Public “P” to “OS” (Parks and Open Space) for all, or portions of, three School District owned properties identified as Alta Vista Elementary School Fields; the former Franklin School Site (Friendship Campus); and the Lincoln Elementary School Fields. Regarding the three sites, the City Council made separate motions directing the following: 1) that the land use designations at Alta Vista be updated so that “P” and “OS” designations follow the fence line separating Alta Vista School and Alta Vista Park; 2) to maintain a “P” designation for the portion of the property occupied by Friendship Campus and an “OS” for Franklin Park; and 3) that the “OS” designation at Lincoln Elementary be applied to the area above the baseball fields and parking lot; and WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public hearing on May 5, 2026, City Council adopted amendments to the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element and associated Zoning Ordinances (2nd reading on May 12, 2026). The amendments replaced the Affordable Housing Overlay zones, required to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), with High Density Multi-Family Residential (65 du/ac) and Mixed-Use zoning designations (65 du/ac to 80 du/ac) obligating future redevelopment of the identified “housing sites” to include a minimum of 50% of the floor area as residential. In their letter dated May 20, 2026, HCD found that “the adopted housing element, its amendments and Zoning Documents continue to meet the requirements of State Housing Element Law” and further cited that “This finding of substantial compliance has remained unchanged since HCD’s September 1, 2022 review.” The change in designations as part of the Housing Element amendments are reflected in the draft LUE update. Additionally, the City Council adopted an Addendum to the Certified Final Environmental Impact Report (SCH#2023050732) for the Redondo Beach Focused General Plan Update, Zoning Ordinance Update and Local Program Amendment confirming no additional environmental impacts or subsequent additional mitigation is required for the amendments to the Housing Element and implementing zoning ordinance amendments as part of the adoption of this project; and
WHEREAS, at their duly noticed public meeting on July 7, 2026, City Council reviewed and provided policy direction on the scope of the Land Use Element and Zoning 684

The first resolution calls for the holding of a Special Municipal Election. The second resolution requests consolidation with Los Angeles County’s Statewide General Election to be held on November 3, 2026.

The third resolution sets priorities for the filing of written arguments for and against any measures placed on the ballot. This resolution also defines the process for choosing authors and/or organizations, and the order that the City Elections Official shall use to give preference and priority if more than one argument is submitted. At the July 21, 2026 City Council meeting it was noted that Councilmember Obagi and Councilmember Behrendt would author arguments in favor of the measure.

To request fillable official forms for arguments and/or rebuttals, you must contact the City Clerk.

The deadline for the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the initiative showing the effect of the measure on the existing law and the operation of the measure is 5:30 PM on Friday, August 28, 2026. The impartial analysis may not exceed 500 words.

City Council preference for letter designations was determined as follows: 1st choice: ART, 2nd choice: AR, and 3rd choice: AAC.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DO HEREBY ORDAIN:

SECTION 1. BACKGROUND. The City of Redondo Beach is undertaking a comprehensive update to its General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Local Coastal Program, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance to modernize land use policies and comply with State housing law. Due to statutory deadlines, the City Council divided the adoption of these updates into two actions:

City Council Approved Amendments in 2024: On November 5th, and 12th, 2024, the City Council approved amendments to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinance, Local Coastal Program, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance that included state-mandated Housing Element updates that re-zoned specific properties to meet regional housing needs. To offset this increased capacity and comply with State law, the City concurrently adopted "Other Residential Changes" which reduced housing capacity or downzoned certain residential and mixed-use areas (e.g., in the Galleria and 703
RESOLUTION NO. CC-2608-057
BALLOT MEASURE EXHIBIT “A” – MAJOR CHANGE IN ALLOWABLE LAND USE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CITY’S GENERAL

PLAN UPDATE

Page 3 of 53 ends

Coastal Mixed-Use areas). These “Other Residential Changes” approved by the City Council in 2024 are analyzed in a separate Article XXVII land use and traffic analysis.

Any amendments associated with implementation of the City’s Housing Element that occurred with the City Council actions in November of 2024 are exempt from the provisions of Article XXVII and are not included as text amendments in this Ballot Measure.

City Council Approved Amendments in 2026: On August 4th, and 11th, 2026, the City Council approved additional amendments to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinance, Local Coastal Program, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance that implement non-residential updates affecting industrial areas north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and commercial land use categories along Artesia and Aviation Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway.

Article XXVII Requirements (Measure DD): Under Article XXVII of the City Charter, any "Major Change in Allowable Land Use" must be ratified by a majority vote of the People.

A “Major Change” is defined as any amendment that would significantly increase traffic, density, or intensity of use above the existing "as-built" condition (e.g., adding more than 40,000 square feet of non-residential floor area or 25 residential units); change a public use to a private use; or change a non-residential use to a residential or mixed-use resulting in a density greater than 8.8 dwelling units per acre.

SECTION 2. INDEX OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. Herein is a brief summary list (Index) of each proposed amendment to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance that has been adopted by the City Council and is subject to the provisions of Article XXVII and included in this Ballot Measure. The proposed amendments are separated into two (2) “SECTIONS”. “SECTION 3” includes all those amendments adopted by the City Council on November 5th and 12th of 2024 (“2024 Amendments”). The “2024 Amendments” generally reduced housing capacity or down zoned certain residential and mixed-use areas to offset the significant residential upzoning required by State Housing Law that occurred with the City’s Housing Element Update. “SECTION 4” includes non-residential amendments adopted by the City Council on August 4th and 11th of 2026. These amendments implement non-residential updates affecting industrial areas north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and commercial land use categories along the Artesia and Aviation Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway corridors. 2024 Amendments (SECTION 3)

2. Galleria.

Galleria | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 61.3 acres and 37 properties east of the rail easement between Artesia Boulevard and 182nd Street.

Galleria | City Council Adopted Amendments (November 2024) The 2024 Amendments approved by the City Council include changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance:

Kingsdale. City Council approved upzoning 22 properties that were not listed in Table B2 of the Housing Element to allow for higher-density housing consistent with changes on neighboring properties that qualified for inclusion in the City's Housing Element sites inventory. Both the General Plan and Zoning designations on these properties change from R-3 residential to RH high-density residential.

Mall Site. City Council renamed the General Plan designation from Regional Commercial (CR) to mixed-use Transit Center (MU-TC), reducing the permissible housing density allowed from 35 to 30 du/ac. The Zoning designation will remain Regional Commercial (CR), but the development standards were amended to reduce the maximum density allowed from 35 to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). This change impacts five properties.

Industrial Flex. City Council eliminated housing as an allowable use south of the utility right-of-way by redesignating six properties as Industrial Flex (IF). The Industrial Flex designation establishes a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.00 and permits a mix of commercial and light industrial uses compatible with the affordable housing potential identified in this area in the Housing Element. The General Plan designation will be Industrial Flex (IF), while the Zoning will add a new Industrial Flex Overlay (IFO) as a mandatory overlay zone.

PCH | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 26.04 acres and 78 properties along Pacific Coast Highway.

The corridor has been divided into four subsections to describe changes.

PCH | City Council Adopted Amendments (November 2024)
The 2024 Amendments approved by the City Council include changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance:

North of Diamond Street.

East side of PCH. City Council changed three properties from Residential R-3 to Commercial C-2. The General Plan designation was changed from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (C-2), while the Zoning was changed from RH-1 to C-2. This area is outside the coastal zone, so there were no changes to the Coastal Land Use Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance.

West side of PCH. Two properties were changed from Residential Medium (R-3) to Commercial (C-2). The General Plan designation was changed from Residential Medium (R-3) to Commercial (C-2). The Coastal Land Use Map in the Coastal Land Use Plan, was amended to make these properties consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone regulates zoning on this property. The Zoning designation was changed from R-3a to C-2a.

Between Diamond and Ruby Streets.

East Side of PCH. City Council increased the allowable density on the 20 existing RH properties between Vincent and Garnet from 28 to 30 du/ac.

West Side of PCH. City Council increased the allowable density on the 20 existing RH properties between Vincent and Garnet from 28 to 30 du/ac. City Council changed one property at the southwest corner of Diamond and PCH from mixed-use (MU-3) to commercial (C-3). The General Plan designation was changed from mixed-use (MU-3) to commercial (C-3). The Coastal Land Use Map in the Coastal Land Use Plan was amended to change these properties from MU to C-3, consistent with the General Plan.

The Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone regulates zoning on this property. The Zoning designation was changed from MU-3b to C-3b.

Between Ruby Street and Knob Hill Avenue.

East side of PCH. City Council changed 18 properties from Residential RH to Commercial C-2. The General Plan designation was changed from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (C-2), while the Zoning was changed from RH-1 to C-2. This area is outside the coastal zone, so there were no changes to the Coastal Land Use Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance.

West side of PCH. Ten properties were changed from Residential RH to Commercial C2. The General Plan designation was changed from Residential High (RH) to Commercial (C-2). Exhibit H, the Coastal Land Use Map in the Coastal Land Use Plan, was amended to change these properties from RH to C-2, consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone regulates zoning on this property. The Zoning designation was changed from RH-1 to C-2.

South of Palos Verdes Boulevard. City Council reduced the permissible housing density within the MU-3A zones from 35 to 30 du/ac. The General Plan designation is Mixed-Use (MU-3*), with the asterisk identifying all properties where the reduced density would apply. The development standards for the MU-3A zone were amended to reduce the maximum density allowed from 35 to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). This area is outside of the Coastal Zone, so there were no changes to the Coastal Land Use Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance.

The “Major Changes in Allowable Land Use” approved by City Council on August 4th, and August 11th, 2026, consist of updates to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance (the Implementing Plan (IP) of the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP)) regarding amendments to industrial areas north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, commercial corridors along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards, and Pacific Coast Highway “2026 Amendments”. The 2026 Amendments described below are Hereby Approved.

New text amendments are show with bold italics underlined text; deletions are shown in stricken text. Map changes are illustrated as “Current General Plan/Proposed General Plan” and “Current Zoning” and “Proposed Zoning”.

The “2026 Amendments” are clustered in 3 general areas of the city: Industrial areas north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, the Artesia and Aviation Boulevard commercial corridors, and segments along Pacific Coast Highway.

1. Industrial Intensity
Industrial Intensity | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 231.56 acres across 43 properties between Marine Ave to the North, Manhattan Beach Boulevard to the South, Inglewood Avenue to the East, and Aviation Boulevard to the West. None of the affected areas are within the coastal zone.

Industrial Intensity | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026) The 2026 Amendments to these industrial areas include revisions to the General Plan Land Use Designations and Zoning Ordinance:

I-1 Properties. The City Council approved an increase in the maximum FAR for I-1 properties from 0.70 FAR to 1.00 FAR. This is identified in Table 2.1 of the proposed General Plan, and sections 10-2.1012, 10-2.1013, and 10-2.1014 of the Zoning Ordinance. No map changes are proposed; the General Plan land use designation on all 36 properties would remain I-1, while the Zoning designations would remain I-1 (18 properties), I-1A (9 properties), and I-1B (9 properties). 729

2. Artesia and Aviation Boulevards.

Artesia and Aviation Boulevards | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 47.38 acres across 188 properties fronting Artesia and Aviation Boulevards within the AACAP Boundary (The AACAP Boundary mirrors the boundaries of Artesia and Aviation Special Policy Areas combined). None of the affected properties are within the coastal zone.

Artesia and Aviation Boulevards | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026)
2026 Amendments include changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance:

Properties changing from C-2 to CN (AACAP). 2026 Amendments amended the General Plan designation for all C-2 properties facing Artesia and Aviation Blvds within the AACAP Area to CN (AACAP). This designation allows for the same types of uses as C-2, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan. These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.622 of the Zoning Ordinance, but no updates to the zoning map are needed. The General Plan land use designation for 115 properties (28.2 acres) would change from C-2 to CN (AACAP). These properties are located along three specific corridor segments:
• Artesia Blvd (Between Ruxton Ln and SCE Corridor)
• Artesia Blvd (Between Rindge Ln and Blossom Ln)
• Aviation Blvd (from Artesia Blvd & Aviation Way to Aviation Blvd & Harper Ave/City Boundary).

Properties changing from C-2-PD to CN (AACAP). The 2026 Amendments amended the General Plan land use designation for C-2-PD to CN(AACAP) on properties fronting 734

Page 34 of 53 ends

Artesia Blvd between the SCE Corridor and Rindge Ln. The CN(AACAP) designation allows for the same types of uses as C-2-PD, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a-2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan Land Use Element. These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.625 of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan land use designation for 45 properties (11.5 acres) would change from C-2-PD to CN (AACAP), while the Zoning designations would remain C-2-PD (No changes to the zoning map are proposed).

Properties with adopted 2024 Amendments and adopted 2026 Amendments. On November 5, 2024 City Council approved changing 28 properties between Blossom Lane and Aviation Way from mixed use (MU-1) to Commercial (C-2) with a maximum FAR of

0.60. The 2026 Amendments further amended these 28 properties from C-2 to CN(AACAP), which allows the same types of uses as C-2, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a-2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan Land Use Element. These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.622 of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan land use designation for these 28 properties would change from C-2 to CN (AACAP), while the Zoning designations would remain C-2 consistent with the “2024 Amended” map changes already adopted City Council.

Development Standards. Consistent with City Council’s approval (inclusive of some recommendations by the Planning Commission), the 2026 Amendments amended the C2 and C-2-PD zoning development standards specifically for properties within the AACAP boundary. In addition to the FAR increase to 1.50, the amendments raise the maximum building height to 45 feet and allow up to three stories. To ensure a walkable, visually engaging streetscape, the amendments also introduce rigorous pedestrian-oriented architectural and design standards. These include requiring a minimum 12-foot floor-toceiling dimension for first-floor commercial spaces, a minimum of 70 percent transparent materials (such as glass or windows) for ground-floor retail frontages, upper-story stepbacks (a minimum average 5-foot setback above the second floor), and specific highquality facade material and shade structure requirements.

Rooftop Dining. The City Council approved 2026 Amendments introduce a new Rooftop Dining Ordinance that will apply to C-2 and C-2-PD zoned properties along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards. Rooftop dining areas will be permitted subject to an Administrative Use Permit and must be operated as an integral part of an associated restaurant. The ordinance mandates strict operational, design, and noise mitigation standards to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses, including a maximum structure height of 10 feet above the roof surface, downward-facing lighting, and a 20-foot setback from any contiguous residential zone. To incentivize placemaking within the Artesia and Aviation Corridors Area Plan (AACAP) boundary, no additional parking is required for rooftop dining.

Additionally, all rooftop dining square footage will count toward the total adopted 1.50 FAR requirement.

The current and adopted land use and zoning designations are shown in Figures 2.1a2.1d. The current and adopted General Plan text is shown in Figures 2.2a and 2.2b, and changes to the zoning ordinance are shown in Figure 2.3. All affected properties are outside of the Coastal Zone, so no edits to the LCP are required. 735

PCH and Torrance Boulevard | Affected Area
The 2026 Amendments change select commercial properties along PCH from C-2 to C4, which allows for a higher maximum intensity, changing the allowed intensity from 0.50 FAR to 1.00 FAR. The 2026 Amendments also increasing the maximum intensity allowed from 0.50 FAR to 0.75 FAR. The affected properties are divided between the coastal zone and inland areas.

PCH and Torrance Boulevard | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026) The 2026 Amendments adopted changes include revisions to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP), and Zoning Map:

Properties changing from C-2 to C-4. 2026 Amendments amended the General Plan designation for 40 properties (18.4 acres) along Pacific Coast Highway from Commercial (C-2) to Commercial (C-4). This designation allows for commercial uses but increases the 748

maximum allowable building intensity from 0.50 FAR to 1.00 FAR. This change is identified in Figures 3.1a-3.1f and Table 2.1 of the proposed General Plan Land Use Element. These properties are divided between the Coastal Zone and inland areas across four specific corridor segments:

Coastal Zone (West Side of Pacific Coast Highway). This area includes 31 properties across three segments: between Catalina Avenue and Gertruda Ave (16 properties); between Beryl Street and Carnelian Avenue (3 properties); and between Pearl Street and Ruby Street (12 properties). For these properties the Coastal Land Use Map in the Coastal Land Use Plan, will be amended to change the designation from C-2 to C-4, making these properties consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone regulates zoning on these properties, and the Zoning designations will be changed from C-2 and C-2A to C-4.

Inland (East Side of Pacific Coast Highway). This area includes 9 properties along PCH between Pearl Street and Ruby Street. For these properties, the General Plan designation will change from C-2 to C-4, and the Zoning designation will change from C-2 to C-4. This area is outside of the coastal zone, so there are no changes to the Coastal Land Use Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance for this segment. 749

TITLE

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR CALTRANS’ PCH IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT PALOS VERDES

BOULEVARD

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Caltrans will soon begin pavement rehabilitation along Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Redondo Beach, including significant improvements to the intersection at Palos Verdes Boulevard (PVB). A funded component of the Caltrans project includes installation of a dedicated right-turn lane on northbound PCH at PVB. The widening proposes to occupy space (currently sidewalk) that was dedicated as part of the Legado development at 1700 S PCH, now known/built as Eddy Redondo.

The need for the right turn lane was based on traffic analysis performed a decade ago and in response to projected increases in traffic volume. More recent traffic studies have determined that the increase in vehicle traffic anticipated nearly ten years ago has not materialized. Additionally, the studies show that due to increased pedestrian traffic in the area, the intersection’s operational performance will be negatively impacted (specifically longer wait times for north and south bound traffic along PCH) if the right turn lane is installed.

Staff now recommends that the right turn lane widening for the southern leg of the intersection be deleted from Caltrans’ project scope. This recommendation is based on the conditions mentioned above, and the successful design of similar projects, community feedback, contemporary traffic safety practices, ADA requirements, and a comparative analysis of traffic volumes. Staff also recommends that the funds for the right turn lane work be redirected to other needed improvements along PCH within the City. These include the possible construction of tree wells in the south east quadrant of the PCH and PVB intersection and cross gutter repairs at various intersections along PCH between Knob Hill Avenue and Avenue H. If the recommendations are approved by City Council, staff will request Caltrans make the aforementioned adjustments.

BACKGROUND
The proposed dedicated northbound right-turn lane on PCH and PVB was originally conceived as a traffic mitigation for anticipated traffic demand due to the Legado development, exhibit attached. This was proposed at a time when measuring traffic impacts of developments only considered driver delay. However, many of these traffic impact measurements overestimated future traffic volumes.

This often resulted in traffic mitigations that increased speeds, widened streets, and discouraged non -driving modes of transportation. Since then, CEQA standards have changed and public sentiments are much more focused on reducing driving miles, lowering speeds, and improving roadway safety

N.2., File # 26-0791 Meeting Date: 8/4/2026
are much more focused on reducing driving miles, lowering speeds, and improving roadway safety for all modes of transportation.

As part of a settlement agreement with the City, the Legado development was allowed to be built without needing to construct the right-turn lane. However, sidewalk space was offered in dedication to the City for that purpose if and when funding was secured and the project completed. The right turn lane project was eventually funded by Caltrans, using funds secured by the City through Measure R project recommendations, and is scheduled to be implemented with the Caltrans pavement rehabilitation project that spans PCH between Interstate 10 in Santa Monica and the Los Angeles/Orange County county line, now in progress. Recently, Caltrans held a pre-construction meeting for work to be performed within Redondo Beach. City staff decided to investigate the current necessity of a north bound right-turn lane in light of previous experience with similar projects, current traffic volumes, current community needs, and desires for different improvements.

The attached traffic count shows peak period traffic counts at the PCH/PVB intersection in November 2023 and March 2026, including bicycle and pedestrian movements. The only major change between the dates of the traffic counts that could substantially affect traffic volumes was the construction of the Legado/Eddy Redondo development. As of the 2026 traffic count, 61% of residential units in Eddy Redondo were leased and approximately 25% of commercial space was leased. Between the 2023 and 2026 traffic counts, the northbound PCH right-turn movement onto PVB remains the lowest volume movement at this intersection, with less than 70 right-turn movements during either peak hour in 2026. This movement remains lower than the counts taken in 2017 or forecast by the developer, despite the addition of Eddy Redondo traffic. More notably, walking activity has increased by 24-34%, and biking activity has increased by 48% during the PM peak hour. This is evidence of post-pandemic travel pattern shifts, a continued desire for residents to utilize non-driving modes, and the VMT efficiencies of locating mixed-use development near popular destinations such as Riviera Village. Overall PCH/PVB intersection counts have been more or less flat between 2023 and 2026 and have not reached the original projections forecast during traffic studies for the Eddy Redondo development.

Research suggests that right-turn lanes could be warranted if peak hour right-turn volumes exceed 100-125 movements, or if right-turns represent 10% or more of direction approach volumes (NCHRP 457). The northbound right-turn on PCH at PVB does not meet either threshold, and staff predicts the threshold will not be reached even when Eddy Redondo is fully leased.

Therefore, staff recommends deletion of construction of the northbound right-turn lane in coordination with the Caltrans project. Forgoing this lane addition prevents intersection widening from occurring, and avoids an increase of crosswalk distances. Increased crosswalk distances require increasing pedestrian signal walk times per ADA, which means taking green time away from other more dominant movements, such as for PCH traffic in this case. PCH would experience increases to vehicular congestion with the lane addition. In this case, a widening is actually a contrary response to data pointing to much more significant growth of walking and biking in the area. A deferral, for now, of the northbound right turn lane widening would not eliminate the City’s right to perfect the dedication and construct the improvement at a future date. The offer of dedication does not sunset under the terms of the Legado agreement. If traffic patterns or public sentiment change in the future, the City will have the opportunity to install the right turn lane.

In preliminary conversations, Caltrans project staff have indicated openness to the proposed project changes, as Caltrans is no longer singularly focused on vehicular throughput and is now more

changes, as Caltrans is no longer singularly focused on vehicular throughput and is now more concerned with improving highway safety. As mentioned above, with Council approval, City staff will also propose to Caltrans staff that the project funds otherwise allocated for the right-turn lane project be repurposed for more meaningful improvements that would provide direct benefit to the Redondo Beach community, including installing tree wells in the right-turn dedication space to accommodate trees along Eddy Redondo, either planted by the property owner or by the City with the owner’s approval. Additionally, staff would request Caltrans make repairs to cross gutters that line PCH intersections between Knob Hill and Avenue H. These cross gutters severely slow access onto and off of the side streets along this segment of PCH, which degrades operational movements, and can lead to damage to both vehicles and pavement. The current Caltrans project does not account for repairing these cross gutters, and staff will recommend redirecting the right-turn lane monies to make these improvements.

COORDINATION
This item was coordinated by Public Works Department staff in consultation with Caltrans.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City resulting from the proposed change in project scope.

Summary: Most PCH to PVB right-turn growth 2023-2026 is attributed to 61% residential leasing of Legado. Even when it gets to 100% resi lease and more commercial, right-turn volume should be around 60(80). We saw much more bike/ped growth since then. Right turn lane adds 12' of crossing distance, 4s green added to PVB, 4s green taken away from PCH.

TITLE

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING TERMINATION OF THE GATE WAVE ART PROJECT AND REALLOCATION OF THE $275,000 OF PROJECT FUNDS TO OTHER POTENTIAL

PUBLIC ART PROJECTS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 16, 2025, the City Council approved a $275,000 agreement with Volkan Alkanoglu of Volkan Alkanoglu Design LLC (Artist), funded by the John Parsons Public Art Fund (JPPAF), to fabricate and install the public artwork “Gate Wave” at Gateway Parkette following more than fourteen-years of planning and design. Although City staff worked closely with the Artist to advance the project, unexpected fabrication delays led to a requested four-month schedule extension.

However, before the amendment could be finalized, the artist informed staff that he could no longer complete the project and requested termination of the Agreement. A termination letter was provided to the Artist on July 7, 2026.

Staff is requesting the City Council provide direction on whether to redirect the Gate Wave Project funds to other potential public art projects, return all or a portion of the funding to the JPPAF, and/or pursue a new public art installation at Gateway Parkette.

BACKGROUND
At the City Council’s December 16, 2025 meeting, the Council approved an Agreement with Volkan Alkanoglu Design LLC to commission and install the artwork “Gate Wave” at Gateway Parkette, located at the intersection of Harbor Drive and Herondo Street. The total cost for the piece was $275,000, utilizing funding from the JPPAF. Included below is a rendering of the final design:
