Local Economy ....................................15 D. City Contact Information ......................16 I | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Opportunity Overview NAI Capital Inc has been selected to offer this unique 0.438 Acre High Density Residential/Commercial Development Opportunity in the exclusive City of Santa Monica. Southern California is one of the top entertainment/tourism destinations in the world and Santa Monica rests in the middle of it all. The subject property is one of the few development opportunities within this upscale Beach City. With a daily traffic count of over 37,000 motorists per day, the site is within a short walking distance to Santa Monica Beach and Santa Monica Pier. The Property is zoned General Commercial (“GC”) which is intended to maintain areas for affordable and market rate housing and a broad range of commercial uses that provide necessary daily services such as auto sales and auto repair, convenience retail, hotels, hardware stores and small restaurants. Limited setbacks all around, as well as street/alley frontage on three sides, improve the efficiency of this site for development. Depending on the project, the maximum FAR is 1.25 to 2.0. A detailed list of allowed uses is included in the Zoning Overview section of this package. The Site is located one parcel away from Ocean Park Boulevard in the middle of Santa Monica’s “Lincoln Boulevard Neighborhood Corridor”; a stretch of Lincoln between the I-10 Freeway and the City limits at Ozone Avenue that has been targeted for improvements by the City. The “Lincoln Neighborhood Corridor Plan” (The “LiNC”) was adopted in April 2017. It is a streetscape plan that provides a range of short- and long-term enhancements to the public right of way along Lincoln Boulevard. Utilizing a strategy that balances tactical urbanism and the desire for “Pop-Up Placemaking”, the plan includes a $5.5M investment in Lincoln Boulevard with new medians and crosswalks, lighting and landscaping. The LiNC improvements will begin in early 2020 with an expected construction time of 18 months from commencement. You may access the City’s LiNC website and a visual representation of the streetscape improvements with the following links: https://www.smgov.net/departments/pcd/plans/streetscapes/lincoln- neighborhood-corridor-plan-(linc)/ https://www.smgov.net/uploadedFiles/Departments/PCD/Plans/Streetscapes/ Envision-Lincoln/01.24.2017_%20LiNC_Schematic_FullCorridor_PC%20 Version.pdf 2537 LINCOLN BOULEVARD | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | 2 I | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY B.

The announcement marks another step in Lionsgate’s continued commitment to build a broad portfolio of branded properties and franchises with global appeal. Saban launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a live action television series more than 20 years ago, and the series has been in continuous production ever since. It has subsequently grown into one of the world’s most popular and recognizable brands, with toys, apparel, costumes, video games, DVD’s, comic books and other merchandise. The two companies noted that, with an extensive and extremely devoted worldwide fan base as well as a deep and detailed mythology, the Power Rangers are primed for the big screen. The new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world. “Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent.

Since the turn of the 20th Century, this street has attracted numerous prominent southern Californians. This street is named after Robert Gillis’ daughter, Adelaide. Robert Gillis was the owner of the Santa Monica Land and Water Co. and bought thousands of acres in the Palisades in the 1880s. In 1923, Gillis sold 22,000 acres to Alphonso Bell, who developed Bel Air, and went on to develop the Pacific Palisades. 6. Worrell “Zuni House,” 1923-24 710 Adelaide Pl. Architect Robert Stacey-Judd is best known for his Mayan-themed architecture, as is evident in the Pueblo Revival style home, the only known example of his work in Santa Monica. The design of the house embodies many of the character-defining features of the Pueblo Revival style, including an asymmetrical facade, block composition, and flat roofs with parapets highlighted by red tile coping. Noteworthy are projecting roof beams (a.k.a. vigas) typical of the Zuni tribe of Arizona Indians. The rounded corners of the terraced walls, simulate adobe. A stepped Mayan motif is repeated in the door and window frames. It’s said that the work of this architect "is always a surprise.” 7.

Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 458-2213 Email: [email protected] Website: www.smepd.org 1. garden\garden Project Description Background In 2003 the City of Santa Monica examined its outreach efforts toward the encourage- ment of landscaping which features climate-appropriate, water-efficient plant materi- als. It was found that, although the City had a very popular demonstration garden prominently located at City Hall, very few City property owners were actually installing such landscapes on there own property. After some research it was concluded that were two main obstacles: !" The inability of residential property owners to see the demonstration garden at a large, public building as representing something that could be done on their prop- erty. !" The inertia within the landscaping community to continue recommending and planting the plants that they were already familiar with rather than the native plants which had become, for practical purposes, “exotic” in their natural territory. The Idea To overcome these obstacles the City conceived the idea of a comparison garden composed of two adjacent, residential front yards typical of the City’s primarily resi- dential character. One front yard would feature California-native plants, a water-efficient drip irrigation system, a weather-sensitive irrigation controller, permeable paving, mulch and a sys- tem for capturing storm water runoff for groundwater recharge.
