Cover Letter
Dear Ms. Stedler and Members of the Selection Committee:
We are pleased to submit our response to the City’s Request for Qualifications to develop a hotel mixed-use project at the Beach Boulevard site in Pacifica, California. We believe that our professional experience qualifies us to identify the “nature and essence” of the hotel, retail/restaurant, civic and residential mixed-use experience for downtown Pacifica and to direct the retail and residential/hotel design, development program, management, marketing and tenant procurement process.
We have been creating vibrant, pedestrian inspired “street retail” and mixed-used destinations for over 20 years. We continually monitor the evolving nature of distinctive mixed-use projects, and have executed in all phases of their development. Our reputation is centered on our ability to distinguish regionally each development with a handcrafted mix of uses, which captures the attention of the discerning local and national tenant markets.
Understanding what is best for Pacifica to develop a successful mixed-use project requires targeted knowledge and applicable experience of the mixed-use concept, which we have been focused on for over 25 years. It is essential to have a love of urban places and urban design, and a desire to deliver a great physical place, and visitor experience that can become a true regional amenity.
We have a team that is resourceful, multi-talented and understands both real estate and urbanism; a collaborative team that is committed to the ultimate goal of creating attractive, exciting, memorable, and sustainable places that will be successful for Pacifica .
We are excited about the possibilities with this development opportunity, and look forward to meeting with you to get your input and discuss our proposal in more detail.
Sincerely,
J. Donald Henry Principal

Section A – Vision for the Site
The “vision” for the site will include a mix of uses that include: hotel, retail, civic (library) and residential. Starting at grade/street level our proposal would include retail (restaurants and shops) fronting Palmetto Avenue, along with library and residential entries/lobbies. Hotel lobby, short term parking/drop space is proposed along Beach Boulevard and Montecito Avenue. Second level would have a “view deck” in the center of the project with bar/lounge, garden and hotel / community space (library) fronting this central gathering space. Additionally, second level would have hotel rooms facing to the north and residential units facing south. Third and fourth levels will have hotel rooms (to the north) and residential units (to the south). A roof top “garden” would be considered on top of both the hotel and residential portion of the project.
Short term parking will be provided at grade/street level with additional parking 1 to 2 levels below grade – budget permitting. Additional parking (for valet or library uses) are proposed to be off – site in near-by surface parking lots and/or structures, as Parking District for downtown is envisioned. We understand that further discussion and analysis of parking demand/by-use will be required as the project design and tenant leasing is further refined and developed.
This project must be a collaborative effort – a public/private venture. It also needs to be a good “fit” with downtown and a “signature” building at on the main street in downtown. Also, because it is a City owned parcel, the project needs to be an economically and financially viable “benefit” to the City. Therefore, although we have prepared a project description (above), there is more work to be done – engaging City leaders, staff and the community in an iterative process of planning and development.
Development Management/Leasing
The Village Partners team has a long standing reputation of distinguishing projects through the merchandising and procurement of hand crafted retail and food and beverage concepts that establish the culture of each project. In essence, offering a customized and irreplaceable consumer experience. We are in this marketplace now working with tenants to anchor and lease a street front mixed-use project that will provide additional momentum to Pacifica...
Because of the prominence of this location – “Main Street” in downtown Pacifica, we intend to offer an interesting mix of local and visitor serving tenants and significant food and beverage collection along with retail services that are not currently in downtown... Small businesses and commercial office tenants that support the areas major employers will also be targeted. Special consideration and appropriate incentives will be given to tenants exclusively referred to and targeted by the City – provided those incentives do not have a significant drag on the projects financial performance.
Our team has deep experience working with respective city planning staffs, leaders and stakeholders in an inclusive manner always keeping all parties interests in mind. We listen, and manage the process in a collaborative way that lead to positive outcomes.
Village Partners core business focus is to view projects from a long term hold perspective, and we would look at this project in a similar way as a public/private venture with the City.

Our experience includes public and private projects, facility designs including mixed-use facilities, corporate facilities, public buildings and schools, as well as multi-family residential and commercial/retail centers and restaurants and the management of more than 30 consultants concurrently.
Sustainability/Design Goals
Sustainability is best defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their subsequent needs. Our team has met this definition by balancing the three pillars of sustainability: the social, environmental, and economic spheres of influence.
We design buildings that will endure. Exteriors and interiors take advantage of local, renewable building materials at every opportunity. Our core business principles reflect our commitment to sustainability.
We design LEED buildings, create transit-oriented communities, and encourage sustainable practices within our collective team operations and engage clients, employees and the public in a positive and creative manner to meet the challenge of comprehensive environmental responsibility.
Two prime examples of a comprehensive look at sustainability are Public Private Partnerships (Process) - which by definition this project meets and exceeds and Alternative Energy (Product)
Minimize Total Life Cycle Costs - We understand the importance of specifying high efficiency building and finish systems that perform as well today as they will twenty years from now. To this end, we will study the initial costs, energy costs, maintenance costs, replacement costs, and life expectancy of building systems and finish options before specifying.
Energy Usage - Energy Conservation is a critical issue today. We will review and consider the cost/benefit of investing in the initial up-front costs it typically takes to design and install high efficiency building systems to exceed current Title 24 standards. We support the incorporation of renewable energy systems such as solar power to provide onsite power to help meet this goal.
Building Maintenance - Maintenance and utility cost studies are included within the design processes. We typically consult with building maintenance staff on a regular basis for material selection and durability. The results are incorporated into our value engineering studies and are a vital part of the design process. Additionally, our team is capable of providing independent studies for LEED consulting, HVAC/Thermal Storage/Ice Harvesting systems, Energy Management Control Systems, Integrated Energy Conservation Systems, and Natural/Artificial/Clerestory Lighting elements.
Pollution Prevention - We understand the need to protect air and water quality during the construction and operation of the completed project. To meet this requirement we are prepared to provide Construction Waste Management specifications to the scope of work that requires onsite recycling (demolition and construction), reduced site disturbance and storm water management.
Indoor Environmental Quality - Protecting the indoor environmental quality of interior spaces is very important. Strategies to sustain indoor environmental quality include: user controllability of building systems, quality acoustics, and indoor air quality, day-lighting and maintaining a connection to the natural environment. When possible, we design in controllability of systems to allow building users to adjust light levels, ventilation and temperature. Appropriate acoustical treatments are used to reduce noise levels. To protect indoor air quality, we specify interior finish materials with low volatile organic compound (voc) emission levels. The use of windows to maximize day- lighting, also reduces energy costs and provides a strong connection to the exterior environment and the college community.
7
Sustainability and Environmental Design - Each professional discipline on our team will actively participates in the evolution of a design and construction of this project and have an instrumental role to play when Sustainable Design is a priority – like it will be on this project. •Architects naturally have the task of coordinating overall building design and of dealing directly with the building envelope, facility orientation, daylighting, materials selection, window and roof selection, etc. •Mechanical and electrical engineers can contribute between 25% and 50% of the total points required for LEED certification focusing on water use, energy efficiency, commissioning, indoor air quality, carbon dioxide monitoring, and thermal comfort. •Civil engineers have to deal with storm water management and a number of site factors. •Landscape architects need to consider water efficiency of landscaping design and also the restoration of damaged areas. •Structural engineers are asked to consider the relative benefits of wood, steel, and concrete structural systems, given their different effects on sustainable design. •Cost consultants have a significant role to play in assessing the costs of innovative green-building systems, such as “eco-roofs,” solar power, and storm water retention systems. •General contractors have to provide for recycling of construction debris (often at 90% or better level) and documenting all the materials that go into a building. •Subcontractors are often asked to work with unfamiliar or hard-to-obtain recycled content materials and to document the costs they incur.
It is very early in the process and hard to articulate what level of LEED Certification we will attempt to achieve at this time without additional due diligence and cost/benefit analysis, but at a minimum we will attempt to achieve a “BASE LINE” classification from the U.S. Building Council.
Proposed Timeline
• Due Diligence/Review Period/Conceptual Design Project initiation/ Investigation/ Data Gathering- 2-3 months from Award and Authorization to proceed • Schematic design Phase -, concept selection and adjustment based on City input, investigation (survey/soils/etc.) and Development Team focus- 2-3 months Review and approval – 2-4 Weeks depending on vested Parties participation and restraints • Design Development Phase (50% CD’s)- 3-4- months Review and Approval – 2-6 Weeks depending on vested Parties participation and restraints. Includes initial building official review and project refinements • Construction Document Phase- 5-6 months Agency Review and Approval 2-6 Weeks depending on vested Parties participation and restraints City official review and authorization process- assumes concurrent with agency review • Construction – 14-16 months
Development Agreement
Village Partners understands and agrees with the City’s interest to utilize a Development Agreement with the selected Developer and that the negotiated Development Agreement is subject to approval by City Council before execution by the City. Village Partners also understands that the City may record Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R’s) on the Site as a condition to development. As noted above, Village Partners intends to conduct its own thorough due diligence on the Site upon selection by the City as their “Consultant/Developer”. Village Partners understands and accepts the fact that the City is not responsible for any cost associated with these due diligence efforts. 8
Section B – Site Specific Questions (Attachment A)
1. Would you consider phasing the hotel construction? Yes, we would consider phasing the project.
2. If a podium was chosen for all or part of the site, could it be engineered and built in phases, and is that financially feasible compared to building it all at once? Podium is considered for (all or part) of the site, however, it is always more efficient to build it all at once. We will evaluate financial feasibility during the design/site planning process.
3. Where would you want the hotel to have street frontage? Beach Boulevard and Montecito Avenue with a “window” toward Palmetto Avenue. Palmetto Avenue is the “retail” street and will be the focus of most of the retail for project.
4. Where would you want access and exiting for the hotel? Entrance should front Beach Boulevard (or at or near the center of the project) with exiting along Beach Boulevard (also) and Montecito Avenue.
5. What is maximum and minimum number of hotel rooms that you would consider at this site? 100 to 150 rooms.
6. Do you recommend adding residential uses or another use to the site in addition to the hotel? Yes, residential, retail/restaurant(s) and possibly a spa.
7. Are conference facilities valuable to your vision, either on or off the site, and for what audience? Joint/shared use of hotel meeting or conference space with City/Library functions will be considered along with other uses/ options. Programming those spaces and bringing additional “foot steps” to the property will be key goal of the overall project
8. Do you commit to supporting the existing Hotel Business Improvement District (BID) and a potential BID on Palmetto Avenue? Absolutely, Business Improvement Districts are important to maintaining a viable, safe and clean downtown pedestrian/shopping district.

Western Sustainability Institute (WSI) – Diamond Valley Lake, Hemet California. In Hemet, California, MWD purchased the land for, and built, one of the State’s largest reservoirs, completed in the late 1990s. Adjacent to this reservoir, a 60,000 square foot LEEDS Platinum museum was built to house a vast collection of paleontological relics excavated during the construction of the reservoir. This building is extremely underutilized and a financial drain to MWD. In 2009, a team was assembled by MWD, including Village Partners, to conceptually plan the “Western Sustainability Institute” (WSI) at Diamond Valley Lake. The WSI team has since built global university relationships, including with the Government of Australia, to become a world center of water and energy. As part of the project, the development team is evaluating the feasibility of a 400-acre solar farm, and a 700-acre center to test new water technologies.

Donald Henry, Principal-in-Charge/Project Manager
The Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority to extend the existing Metro Gold Line from its current terminus in Pasadena to Montclair. The proposed extension consists of two phases. The first phase will continue from Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena east over 11 miles with stops in the cities of Arcadia, Duarte, Irwindale, Monrovia and two in Azusa. A second phase, which would continue east from Azusa over 12 miles through the cities of Glendora, La Verne, Montclair, Pomona and San Dimas. Working with the Authority and individual Cities with stations located along the extension to evaluate regional real estate market economics (supply and demand factors), devise concept land use alternatives for intensifying uses around a ½ mile radius around station and support team with conceptual massing/development program, financial modeling and feasibility analysis and economic benefits to the region and additional ridership to the Metro Gold Line.
Village Partners is providing an approach (“road map”) to creative problem-solving and critical thinking for City/Communities (residents and land owners) and the Development Community to “get (redevelopment) things done” as the economy evolves/improves/ and demographics change over time. The approach needs to be fundamentally and economically sound and grounded in the realities of the times.
Our analysis looked at the area within a walk able distance of the station (1/4 to ½ mile) and focused on underutilized and antiquated properties/land uses that represent multiple redevelopment opportunities to reinforce the area as a distinctly identifiable “new” District or neighborhood (or series of districts or neighborhoods) within the context of downtown. Particular focus was placed on ways to sensitively weave additional (residential and office) density in the area to support local (retail) businesses and public transit, and thus get people out of their cars.
