Title
PRESENTATION AND DIRECTION TO STAFF REGARDING TOPGOLF AND EAST HARBOR ISLAND - RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION OF PUBLIC SPACE AND DEVELOPMENT SITES AS FOLLOW UP TO PREVIOUS BOARD DIRECTION
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the November 5, 2019 Board meeting, staff presented Topgolf as an attractions concept intended to accommodate visitors to the water in the East Harbor Island (EHI) area (see Attachment A; East Harbor Island Location Map). The Board waived the requirement for a competitive solicitation process under BPC Policy 360 and directed staff to negotiate and enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with Topgolf through December 31, 2020.
The Board also directed staff at this meeting to engage a consultant to establish a comprehensive plan for the EHI area that holistically considers the placement of public space and development sites. Staff enlisted Civitas, an urban design and landscape architecture firm presently assisting with the Port Master Plan Update (PMPU) effort, to prepare options for potential land use configurations in EHI. The preliminary draft presentation is included as Attachment B.
Staff is seeking Board direction regarding the proposed configuration of uses in the EHI area, as well as confirmation of the preferred proposed location for a Topgolf attraction so that staff may continue to negotiate the ENA with Topgolf.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Receive staff's presentation and provide direction to staff regarding the land use configuration for East Harbor Island, as well as confirm the proposed siting of the Topgolf attraction.
Body
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds associated with the PMPU are budgeted in the Planning Department's FY 2020 budget within the Professional Services expense account (#620100). Funds required for future fiscal years associated with this topic will be budgeted for in the appropriate year subject to Board approval upon adoption of each fiscal year's budget.
