Goal of Berkeley Marina Area Specific Plan (BMASP)Learn from the past, protect the present core value, and forward-thinking

1. Analysis of the existing financial model, and develop strategies to retain current marina programs.

2. Invest in capital projects that would continue to support current marina programs. Capital

projects shall be prioritized by 5-year Capital Improvement Plan with consideration in expenditure

vs. revenue.

3. Forward-thinking (Next 20-years or more) to meet future community needs and desires.

4. Identify new revenue potentials based on opportunities and constraints analysis in the aspects of

environmental impact and all governing policies at the Marina; 2002 City General Plan, 2003

Marina Master Plan, 1986 Waterfront Specific Plan, BCDC…etc.

5. Identify new infrastructure needs, associated funding and mitigation required for new revenue

generation.

6. Ultimately, a financially self-sustainable marina with amenities that meet the needs of the

community.

Current Challenges at the Marina

Decaying Infrastructures• Docks*• Pilings*• Pavement• Restrooms• Shoreline ErosionParking• Shortage, Operation/Enforcement Revenue Reduction• Berth occupancy*• Lease* Safety and Security• Break-Ins…etc

*Direct Revenue GenerationEssential Public Amenities

From June 13, 2018 PWC Meeting

Total: $115.8M

What is the best way to address $115M worth of work? While we are encountering revenue deficit?



“A financially self-sustainable publicly owned marina to preserve and enhance infrastructure that supports current marina programs/operationsand future community needs while adapting to climate changes and ensuring stewardship of the environment”




DRAFT GOAL STATEMENT

Financial Sustainability: Per Marina Fund Forecast, “…projected to go red in FY2021-2022.”• How to stay in the positive? What is the

best financial model for the Marina?

Infrastructure: Totaling $115.8M • How to prioritize capital projects? And how

to fund?

DRAFT GOAL STATEMENT

“A financially self-sustainable publicly owned marina to preserve and enhance infrastructure that supports current marina programs/operationsand future community needs while adapting to climate changes and ensuring stewardship of the environment”

Marina Programs: Live aboard, Boating Slips, Sail Clubs, Special Events, Businesses…etc.• Can we afford all these programs? Community inputs

needed.

Climate Changes: Sea-Level Rise• What are the impacts to our infrastructures?• How to mitigate?

9




SEA-LEVEL RISE STUDY

PurposeA. Fulfill the AB691 requirements to assess sea-level rise impacts to granted lands, andB. Provide Design Recommendations to incorporate SLR impacts into current Marina Projects, andC. Inform the Berkeley Marina Area Specific Plan (BMASP)

Assembly Bill No. 691 (Proactively Planning for Sea-Level Rise Impacts) requires the City to prepare and submit to the State Lands Commission, no later than July 1, 2019, an assessment of how the City proposes to address sea level rise.

Scope of Work• Inventory vulnerable natural and built resources and facilities• Consider the impacts of sea-level rise itself and other dynamic coastal processes and climatic events

that are projected to be exacerbated by sea-level rise such as coastal erosion, storms, and high tides on the vulnerable assets identified.

• Provide cost estimate and conceptual mitigation measures

Killing 3 birds with one stone!!!

Staff will immediately start this Study

Draft BMASP Implementation Framework & Scope

Phase 1: Confirming Existing Issues/Conditions, Background Studies, Initial Public Engagement

Phase 2: Draft Specific Plan

Phase 3: 2nd Draft of Specific Plan, and Draft EIR

Phase 4: Final Draft Specific Plan, and Final EIR

Phase 5: Adopt Specific Plan, and FEIR

Phase 1: Confirming Existing Issues/Conditions, Background Studies, Initial Public Engagement1. Identify, and solidify existing issues/concerns and resolution framework 2. Review waterfront related documents:

• Previous governing policies• Recently completed projects• Current projects and studies

3. Conduct Infrastructure Assessment• Using “1999 Boat Facilities Infrastructure Assessment” as a guide• Detailed project scopes, Cost Estimates • 5-year CIP Plan prioritize based on risk/urgency, revenue protection, crime reduction

4. Financial Analysis• Analyze past and current Marina Enterprise Fund revenue vs. expenditure trends• Develop financial strategy to provide financial sustainability for the next 20 years with

considerations on the 5-year CIP Plan expenditure5. Market Research


Hydrographic Survey – Dredging requirement? Siltation rate projection
