Council Mtg: April 9, 2002 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Appointment of Members to the Promenade Uses Task Force
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends the City Council appoint three Council members and one
property owner representative to the Promenade Uses Task Force.
BACKGROUND
On January 8, 2002 the Council adopted an emergency ordinance that limited the
conversion of restaurant use to any other use on the Third Street Promenade. As part
of the process, the Council created a Promenade Uses Task Force consisting of three
Council members, two Bayside District representatives, one Planning Commissioner
and one property owner.
The Task Force will facilitate a broad-based discussion to identify the appropriate mix of
uses on the Promenade, and identify amendments to the Bayside District Specific Plan.
The Task Force will also review the policy issues and recommend solutions with the
assistance of staff and consultants. The Task Force will be jointly managed by staff
from the Bayside District Corporation, Planning and Community Development
Department and Resource Management Department.

DISCUSSION
The application period for the property owner representative was open for 30 days and
advertised in the California Section of the Los Angeles Times. Applications were
available from the City’s web site, the Bayside District Corporation and the Planning and
Community Development Department. One application was submitted and is attached
to this report. The Bayside District Corporation has appointed their representatives and
Planning Commission is scheduled to appoint their representative on March 27, 2002.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
While there is no budget impact attendant on making this appointment, creation of the
Task Force will require consultant resources and any resulting amendments to the
Bayside Specific Plan will require additional professional services expenditures. Until
the Task Force meets and establishes the work plan, costs are difficult to predict. Staff
will return to Council for appropriation authority and consultant selection as necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council appoint the members of the Promenade Uses Task
Force.
