Agenda Planning & Urban Design Recommendations Implementing the Plan
20
DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT Parking Lot Industrial M = Mandatory P = Permitted = Prohibited Hotel Retail Office Residential (Mid to High Density) Mixed-Use (Residential over Office) Mixed-Use (Residential over Retail) USE \ DISTRICT P M A3 A2 A1
21
Restrict to specified uses Some existing uses rendered nonconforming
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT Implications: Restrict to specified uses Some existing uses rendered nonconforming Require conformance with development standards Minimum densities Minimum building heights Build-to lines Parking location Orientation to street Pedestrian amenities Potential street dedication
22
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT Implications: Assures “vision” is attained in long run; however, development would not occur until precise market demand emerges
23
DISTRICT B AND C - FLEXIBLE LAND USE DISTRICTS
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT B AND C - FLEXIBLE LAND USE DISTRICTS Parking Lot Industrial M = Mandatory P = Permitted = Prohibited Hotel Retail Office Residential (Mid to High Density) Mixed-Use (Residential over Office) Mixed-Use (Residential over Retail) USE \ DISTRICT P B3 B2 B1 C3 C2 C1 Residential (Very High Density)
24
Land use “vision” may never be attained
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT B AND C - FLEXIBLE LAND USE DISTRICTS Implications: Allows land use flexibility, responsive to multiple market demands, such that development may occur sooner than in precise use district Land use “vision” may never be attained
25
Minimum scale of development Building setbacks & buffers
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT B AND C - FLEXIBLE LAND USE DISTRICTS Implications: Requires special development standards to assure compatibility of differing adjacent uses Minimum parcel size Minimum scale of development Building setbacks & buffers Building orientation
26

27
Retains current zoning Residential land uses not appropriate
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT D - NO CHANGE DISTRICT Implications: Retains current zoning Residential land uses not appropriate Preserves portion of Gateway area for existing Gateway uses that would not be accommodated elsewhere in Laguna Niguel
28
DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Conceptual Land Use Distribution DISTRICT A - PRECISE USE DISTRICT DISTRICT D - NO CHANGE DISTRICT DISTRICT B AND C - FLEXIBLE LAND USE DISTRICT

Questions? Do you agree with the recommended land uses?
Do you agree that uses should be restricted in selected areas to achieve development objectives?

Agenda Implementing the Plan
Traffic & Circulation Network Implications

Improving Gateway Area and Laguna Niguel Access
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Alternatives for Improving Gateway Area and Laguna Niguel Access
32
Access Issues Increasing traffic volumes
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Access Issues Increasing traffic volumes Future volumes on Crown Valley Pkwy Closely-spaced intersections/signals No degradation from redevelopment Improvements need to be: Coordinated Incremental: current and long-term plans Provide regional benefit
33
Operations Management Option
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Operations Management Option More efficient traffic handling No reduction in volumes Reduce delay and queuing Progressive movement Efficient geometric design Single-Point Urban Interchange at Crown Valley Parkway and I-5
34
Single-Point Urban Interchange
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Single-Point Urban Interchange
35
Traffic Volume Management Option
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Traffic Volume Management Option Divert traffic to more direct routes Reduce volumes on Crown Valley Pkwy Increase connectivity Connections to underutilized routes Provide more direct benefit for the City Direct access from I-5 to Paseo de Colinas and Metrolink parking
36

Direct-Access Option – North Section
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Direct-Access Option – North Section
38
Direct-Access Option – South Section
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Direct-Access Option – South Section
39
Single-Point Interchange Summary
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Single-Point Interchange Summary Significant delay reduction Efficient handling of traffic More corridor-specific benefit Addresses long-term corridor needs Major design change Large coordinated construction effort Cost approximately $110 million
40
Direct-Access Option Summary
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Direct-Access Option Summary Substantial delay and V/C reduction Reduces volumes on Crown Valley Pkwy More City benefit Benefits on other corridors – Avery & Cabot Staged construction options More manageable construction effort Cost approximately $94 million
41
Summary Congestion relief will be required regardless of redevelopment
LAGUNA NIGUEL GATEWAY Traffic Summary Congestion relief will be required regardless of redevelopment Benefit the City and support future plans Direct-Access Option provides lower cost, shorter timeline, stageable, initial congestion reduction and improves circulation options Single-point design provides longer-range reductions and addresses regional access Combined the plans provide significant local and regional mobility enhancement
