Recommended Action: Informational.
That the Board of Port Commissioners review and discuss the 2017–2018 Ventura Port District
Preliminary Budget and Five Year Capital Improvement Plan.
ACTION: The Board of Port Commissioners discussed and made the following
comments on the 2017–2018 Ventura Port District Preliminary Budget and
Five Year Capital Improvement Plan:
• Attachment 3, page 10 – reflect VSE grant in final budget
o Asked staff to return to Board with VSE task information
• Two years of wage increases are not reflected, would like included
in final report.
• Commissioner Smith is for a fixed amount increase or augments
insurance for lower range. Also, the goals and objectives should be
before the budget and would like to hear about the last four
marketing objectives and the costs associated with them.
• Like the % increase/decrease in the notes section – very helpful,
however some are missing and want included in final budget.
• Does the 7% contribution to PERs have to occur this year? If not,
maybe do a small amount each year.
• Want to understand health insurance offerings; how do employees
contribute? What are options?
• Should educate employees on their retirement.
• Maybe increase PERs 1% over the next 3 years.
• What are staff’s thoughts on the changes to the service industry?
• Give employee’s vision insurance as added benefit instead of wage
increase. District to pay 100%.
• More info on sick pay liability.
Public Comment: Sam Sadove warned the Commission to be careful about increasing the
restaurant revenue too much because come January 1, 2018, restaurants will be hit with labor
law increases.
Commissioner Friedman asked management staff what is the level of understanding the
employees have between what their pay is and what they’re actually earning?
• Facilities Manager, Joe Gonzalez stated that his staff understood that once ground
broke on the Sondermann Ring Project that staff would receive raises. Insurance costs
have gone up leaving some employees with a decrease in pay. He is not sure if
8
Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners
May 10, 2017 Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 4
employees understand the system; only what they are taking home today. Some
employees are currently looking for other jobs.
• John Higgins, Harbormaster stated that he communicates to staff the value of paying
into their retirements. No one appreciates the fiscal challenges more than Port District
employees. We make things happen on a daily basis, putting that extra effort into every
job done. He assured the Board that we are not Bell by any means. Our benefits are not
the best; we don’t have differentials, education incentives or bilingual pay. There are
industry standards we do not participate in due to our fiscal challenges. VPD has a large
number of longtime employees who have a lot of information and we have a growing
number of people who have been here a short time. The longtime employees can afford
to survive because they have been through the salary step process. A few years ago, a
board member influenced staff to change to salary range program to award employees
for their hard work. It sounded great, but when it came to salary freezes there were no
increases. Salary ranges are really difficult when you face fiscal challenges and new
employees are brought in at the bottom of their range and those employees are
struggling. We cannot compare to the private sector; only other public agencies. When
employees express that they are struggling; it is not that they want to leave here, but
they have to pay bills. When you get a raise that only goes to retirement, it doesn’t pay
rent or daycare and those are real costs that keep increasing. Having stayed in the
salary step system, we wouldn’t be experiencing that same problem because employees
would have a natural evolution. If we lose the employees who are struggling, before
veteran employees can pass on their skills, the Port District is going to fail.
• Robin Baer, Property Manager concurs with John Higgins comments. It is hard for
employees to not receive a raise when cost of living is increasing, gas, water, electricity;
that is what employees are looking at. In reference to insurance, dental is not good
because we cannot get into a pool with a better type of dental system because of our
size and the same thing will apply for vision insurance.
• Commissioner Friedman commented that there are now ways to get into better
insurance pools and that he would be glad to meet with staff to discuss these options.
Michael Wagner stated that the Business Operations Manager should go to Monterey to look at
their asphalt piers. Also asked what we’re getting for marketing money. Harbor Village is the #1
visitor’s destination in Ventura. The Harbor is the step child of the City and we need to get the
Visitor’s Bureau to advertise for us more.
AGENDA PLANNING GUIDE AND REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: 1) Updated
Surplus Policy; 2) Lifeguard Program funding.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:12PM.

Subject: April/May 2017 Dredging Activities and Special Projects Report
The Dredging Program Manager’s activities for the April/May 2017 period are reviewed below:
FY2018 Federal Dredging Appropriations
The Port District has requested that $7,000,000 be included in the FY2018 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill for the
maintenance dredging of the Ventura Harbor entrance channel and sand trap. At this point, however the Administration and Congress
are focused on matters unrelated to the FY2018 budget process. Thus making a prediction on the final FY2018 appropriations levels is
presently unrealistic.
Harbor Village Phase II ADA Improvements
J&T Engineering and Construction’s subcontractor has now completed the stainless steel railing installation called for in J&T’s contract
with the Port District. The only remaining item of work is the installation of several ADA path-of-travel signs. That installation should be
accomplished in the next few days. At that point we will have the ADA compliance consultant make a final inspection of the work.
Harbor Village Phase III Improvements
Viola Contractors continues to make good progress on the Phase III improvements. However, due to the rain related delays
experienced in January and February, completion of the project is not expected until well into July. We have also experienced additional
unforeseen problems with executing the project in accordance with the contract documents which will require a 3rd change order. It is
expected that RRM Design Group, the project architect, will attend the Commission’s June 14, 2017 meeting to review this situation
with the Board.
Respectfully submitted,

April 2017 Recap
Congress, President Reach Deal on Omnibus Spending Package
Shortly after passing a bill to extend funding until May 5, congressional negotiators
and the President reached a deal to fund federal programs for the remainder of
Fiscal Year 2017. Both the House and Senate approved this funding measure the
week of May 1st and sent it to the President before the May 5th deadline.
The omnibus package provides an annualized total of $1.07 trillion in base spending,
or $1.16 trillion when including Overseas Contingency Operations funding for
military actions outside the United States. Now that the measure is law, federal
agencies will be able to finalize grant notifications and solicitations for remaining
FY2017 funds, something they were prohibited from doing under the long-term
continuing resolution.
Civil Works
The omnibus bill provided the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) with a funding
boost. In all the Corps received $6.0348B which is an increase of $49M over final
FY16 funding levels. In comparison, the omnibus provides $1.4B or 31% more than
President Obama requested in his final budget submission to Congress. It also sets
up a 45-day work plan process for the Corps, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of
the Army for Civil Works, and the Office of Management and Budget to assign
funding to projects not included in the President’s FY17 budget request, or projects
requiring more funding than allocated in the budget submission. Navigation
highlights include:
$28M for the Donor and Energy Transfer Ports Program, a $3M increase over
FY16, but still short of the $50M authorized under WRRDA 2014;
$2.7B for navigation projects and studies;
$1.3B for the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund
White House Ends Hiring Freeze, Launches Government Reorganization
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney announced the lifting of
the federal hiring freeze implemented on the first day of the Trump Administration.
With the announcement, Mulvaney also outlined a two-year process to reshape the
12
federal government to make it “dramatically more accountable, more efficient and
more effective.”
Under the initiative, agencies have 180 days to submit reorganization plans to OMB.
These plans are to include workforce reduction plans through FY2022 and will
serve as the basis for the President’s FY2019 budget request and beyond. OMB is
also providing the federal Office of Personnel Management the authority to expedite
early retirement requests with a goal of approving applications within 30 days.
The exercise’s goal is to reduce the size and cost of the federal workforce, eliminate
duplicative functions within or between agencies, and devolve functions OMB
deems better accomplished by state and local government or private enterprise.
Senate Confirms Final Cabinet Position
The Senate confirmed Alex Acosta to serve as Secretary of Labor by a vote of 60-38.
His vote filled the last remaining unconfirmed position in President Trump’s
Cabinet. With Acosta’s confirmation, the Senate will now move to consideration of
deputy secretary and other leading positions among the various federal
departments and agencies.
Ninth Circuit Joins Fight Over Funding in Sanctuary Areas
A U.S. District Judge from the Ninth Circuit issued an order temporarily blocking the
Trump Administration from withholding federal funds from cities and counties that
refuse to support federal immigration policies. In the ruling, the judge stated,
“Federal funding that bears no meaningful relationship to immigration enforcement
cannot be threatened merely because a jurisdiction chooses an immigration
enforcement strategy of which the President disapproves.” President Trump was
quick to respond that he will challenge this ruling.
In the meantime, the Department of Justice filed a brief clarifying that, at this time, it
is only seeking to enforce compliance with is 8 U.S.C. 1373, which prohibits localities
from issuing policies that preclude local police from communicating with federal
immigration. The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are also reviewing
how to adjust their grant programs to account for sanctuary applicants in a manner
that will pass muster under a Constitutional review.
President Issues Executive Order on “Buy American and Hire American”
President Trump issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order.
According to the White House, the order’s goal is “maximizing Made in America
content and minimizing waivers and exceptions to Buy American laws.” Agencies
have 150 days to evaluate their current compliance with Buy American statutes and
develop new policies to maximize the use of domestic content and minimize
requests for waivers. Any proposed waivers must be reviewed by agency heads and
13
consider the cost advantage of foreign-sourced iron and steel as the result of
“injuriously subsidized steel, iron, or manufactured goods.”
On the labor side, the Executive Order tasks the Department of Labor, Department
of Justice, and Department of Homeland Security with reviewing the H-1B and
lottery visa programs and “rigorously enforce” the laws governing entry into the
United States of workers from abroad. While the order does not trigger any
immediate requirements on employers, the agency reviews are likely to serve as the
basis for changes in hiring and reporting practices in the future.
Executive Order Targets Large National Monument Land Designations
President Trump issued a new executive order that will begin a review of large
national monument land designations made since January 1, 1996, that span at least
100,000 acres. The order is in response to widespread criticism that designations
have ignored state and local opposition and exceeded the intent of the 1906
Antiquities Act.
In signing the order, President Trump stated, “The Antiquities Act does not give the
federal government unlimited power to lock up millions of acres of land and water,
and it’s time that we ended this abusive practice” and the order citied the Act’s
language “…that reservations of land not exceed ‘the smallest area compatible with
proper care and management of the objects to be protected.’ ” Trump and other
critics have not suggested that the designations of his predecessors be overturned,
but they have indicated that the size of the monuments be reduced.
In California, the following monuments will be subject to review: Giant Sequoia,
Carrizo Plain, San Gabriel Mountains, Berryessa Snow Mountain, Mojave Trails, and
Sand to Snow.
Trump Issues Executive Order Promoting Offshore Energy Production
President Trump issued an Executive Order that seeks to expand offshore oil and
gas exploration and production in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). His order calls
for a review of the five-year leasing program and reconsideration of regulations
pertaining to offshore energy development. The order also directs the Secretary of
the Interior to implement a streamlined permitting approach for privately funded
seismic data collection to determine offshore energy resource potential. The rule
will not affect the status of OCS drilling off the California coast.

VENTURA PORT DISTRICT
DEPARTMENTAL STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: May 24, 2017
TO: Board of Port Commissioners
FROM: Joe A. Gonzalez, Facilities Manager
SUBJECT: April 2017 Facilities Report
I. Maintenance
The original 1575 building wooden staircase hand rail has been replaced with new ADA compliant stainless
steel hand rails; both sides of the staircase now have handrails, making the staircase safer for the public
and our tenants.
1559 parking lot loading zone has been re-located for better usage for our restaurants and tenants that are
located at 1559 building. The loading zone was previously located at the end of the parking lot, with no easy
access to the loading ramp. The new location is next to the loading ramp, making it more efficient, safer,
and convenient for users unloading their goods.
New location Old location
15
Harbor Cove Beach, Surfers Knoll Beach
Every spring the Ventura Port District performs the yearly beach sand clean up. Most of the sand that was
blown against the brick walls from previous high winds during the year is removed, placed back and leveled
for easy access. The majority of the cleanup is between the parking lots and the beach sand brick walls; this
prevents the sand from blowing over the wall into the parking lots and getting into the City’s drains and
streets. During this time, the District also assists the City of Ventura on leveling the pathway where they set
their walkway matt that leads from the parking lot sidewalk into the beach for the public to use; this matt
provides universal access to the beach for all visitors. This is a yearly cooperation between the City and the
District.
II. Marina
Continue to perform the monthly inspections on all gangways, docks, fire extinguishers, and fire boxes.
Monthly inspections of our fish pier cranes, fire dock boxes, gangways, and docks were performed.
III. Marketing
The Maintenance Department continues to provide assistance to the Marketing Department on weddings,
set-up for events, during events, installation of banners/flyers, or whatever the needs are to make a
successful event.
IV. Landlord’s Tenant Improvement Allowances
• Ventura Dive & Sport & Office – Meeting daily with tenant, project as of today is on schedule.

VENTURA PORT DISTRICT
DEPARTMENTAL STAFF REPORT Meeting Date: May 24, 2017
TO: Board of Port Commissioners
FROM: Frank Locklear, Marina Manager / Technology
SUBJECT: April 2017 Marina Report
I. Special Events
On Mother’s Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday April 13th and 14th, the Long Line Tuna Vessel
VENTURA II presented their highly popular tuna sale on the Ventura Fish Pier. The event was
well attended and sales were brisk. This was the last sale of the season for this year. The next
season is expected to begin in December.
II. Ventura Harbor Village Marina Occupancy and Squid Production
The Ventura Harbor Village Marina slip occupancy has remained near 100%. There are
currently 42 tenant seiners competing for squid in Ventura Harbor. The total tonnage landed has
not been large due to difficult weather and sea conditions. However, the premium price of
$1,000.00 a ton paid by the squid offloading companies has kept the vessels enthusiastically
engaged locally despite the reduced size of the per vessel loads.
On Wednesday, May 3rd, I met with Ventura Star Free Press reporter Kelly Flanders who wished
to write a feature story on squid fishing and off-loading at Ventura Harbor. Kelly was introduced
to squid fishermen, the fish company operators and the crews operating the squid offloading
equipment. Kelly took photos and videos of the commercial operation to use in her report.
Kelly’s report has not been published as of this date.
17
On Thursday, May 4th, I met with the President of Del Mar Seafoods regarding plans for the
installation of a new Ice Maker / ice storage for the 1449 building. Del Mar has agreed to supply
the new equipment. The ice is intended to be used by the local small vessel fishermen in
Ventura Harbor. The three Ventura squid offloading companies Del Mar, DeLuca and Ventura
Packers will continue to truck in the ice, which is used during squid offloading. We are waiting
for the review of revised plans and construction may begin in late June or July.
III. Technology
The Port District currently operates 53 working email accounts. HLI Systems provides the
District’s email spam filter and virus protection. The frequency of intercepted emails with virus or
worm loaded payloads is increasing dramatically. An increased layer of email scrubbing for our
email accounts will cost $2.00 per user per month and is recommended.

Supplementary Notes to the Statement of Income and Expense for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 –
Budget to Actual Analysis.
Staff makes an attempt to follow seasonal patterns when distributing the annual budget by month whenever it is
feasibly possible. Many line items are divided equally through the year.
Operating Income:
Parcel Lease Income – (under budget 8,182) This category reflects the cumulative balance for master tenants
rents. The variance continues to be in the monthly budget allocation not in the actual rent received from the
tenants. The quarter ending 3/31/17 shows an overage of $11,149 indicating that the budget variance is
shrinking. The lease comparison report continues to indicate the master tenant rents are performing as expected
in my annual budget analysis.
Miscellaneous Income/Rentals – (exceeds budget $11,345) The budget was completed before I was aware that
HBE requested to extend their lease to use parcel 19A parking lot while they continue construction on Community
Memorial Hospital. The contract with HBE ended in November and it was decided by staff not to make a mid-year
adjustment in this category. The quarter ending 3/31/17 is slightly under budget by $1,620.
Harbor Village Lease Income – (exceeds budget $34,083) This category includes retail, restaurant, offices and
charters located in the Village. The quarter ending 3/31/17 is right on target.
Commercial Fishing – (over budget $10,547) Squid offloading continued through January resulting in an
overage of $11,141 for the quarter ending 3/31/17. This budget is always reduced beginning with the month of
January because in the past squid offloading is finished by December.
Event Fees – (under budget $8,031) This category is difficult to budget and has been allocated evenly over
twelve months. There was very little harbor event activity for January through March so the quarter is under
budget by $7,524.
Slip Rentals – (exceeds budget $869) The Village Marina continues to have a good occupancy during the quarter
ended 3/31/17.
CAM Income – (exceeds budget $24,757) This variance is due to a few reasons. The 805 Bar & Grill CAM
charge was in advertently left off of the budget worksheet therefore not included in the budget, a few tenants had
an increase in their CAM charge during the year that was not reflected in the budget and the Ultimate Escape
Room began paying rent sooner than was anticipated in the budget.
Operating Expenses:
Personnel Expenses – (under budget $85,758)
Salaries and wages were under budget by $57,367. As with the previous year, the budget includes
contingencies for MOU obligations, vacation buyouts, shift coverages, and merit increases. These
contingencies were spread out equally over all the pay periods. Another factor contributing to wages
being under budget is that Marketing was short a fulltime employee for about five months thereby
reducing her wage expenses. This vacant position was filled in February. The overtime wages is over
budget in two departments, Maintenance and Patrol. Both departments are experiencing unexpected
shift coverage needs.
The other personnel expense categories are under budget by $28,391. This variance continues to be
primarily in retirement contributions. The retirement contributions are affected by merit increases in
wages that have not been implemented. The actual expenses in the medical & life insurance and the
optional benefit plan categories are affected by the position vacancies in Patrol, Maintenance and the
temporary vacancy Marketing experienced earlier in the year.

Supplementary Notes to Statement of Income and Expenses Continued for the quarter ending March 31,
2017 – Budget to Actual Analysis
Auto/Boat Equip & Maintenance – (under budget $30,111) About $9,000 of this variance is reflected in the
period January thru March. Approximately $19,000 of this variance is related to boat maintenance and boat fuel.
Boat fuel is under budget $10,000. It is expected that some of this will be used in the next three months as the
summer approaches and the harbor is busier. All except $90,000 in this line item for the year has been allocated
evenly over twelve months for all departments. The $90,000 budgeted for major boat maintenance has been
applied to June 2017 and is dependent upon the District being awarded a grant for boat motors and other
equipment. At this time, the grant has been approved and the Harbormaster is moving forward on the acquisition
of the boat motors. The maintenance vehicle expense is under budget as it has not yet been necessary to use
the contingency that is built into the budget for unexpected vehicle problems.
Building Maint.-Tenant Improvements – (under budget $168,556) Tenant improvements were budgeted to
begin in November on the Dive Shop and the BS Tap Room was budgeted to begin in March. The scheduled
improvements have begun for the Dive Shop but the BS Tap Room will begin more towards the summer and into
next fiscal year.
Accessibility Improvements – (under budget $20,300) The majority of the accessibility improvements that are
currently being worked on are being accomplished through capital improvement projects not through this expense
account. The quarter ended 3/31/17 is in line with the budget
Grounds Maintenance – (under budget $25,592) It is anticipated these funds will be used to repair/replace
pavers in the planters at the beaches and to repair planters/landscaping in the Village as a result of the
construction now in progress.
Marketing and Promotions – (under budget $24,943) Marketing’s monthly expenditures can vary greatly from
the monthly budget distribution based on many factors. This variance continues to be primarily in the advertising
category during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The second quarter (Oct-Dec) was very close to budget. The
third quarter (Jan-Mar) begins using the advertising funds. Marketing is over budget $1,477 for the third quarter.
The advertising category has been allocated evenly over twelve months.
Equipment & Repairs – (over $10,915) This variance is primarily due to one elevator repair. The 1567 Spinnaker
elevator used to access Margarita Villa was $9,400. Our Facilities Manager was able to negotiate the cost of this
repair down to the $9,400. This unforeseen repair is above normal maintenance contracts and routine repairs for
the elevators.
Professional Services/Legal – (over budget $11,761) This increase to legal expenses is related to the review
and analysis of developers and their proposed projects for parcels 5 & 8.
Professional Services/Outside Services – (under budget $90,173) This variance primarily reflects $30,000 in
the maintenance department and $47,000 in the administration department. There is approximately $14,000
budgeted for boat salvage and $15,000 to remove debris from parcels 15, 16 & 18. Harbormaster John Higgins
has been able to keep the salvage costs down and the District did not have to remove any debris from parcel 15,
16 &18. The cost for these two items was not adjusted during the mid-year budget review. The administration
budget has approximately $15,000 in real estate consultants and brokers fees that have not been utilized to date.
There are also contingent engineering services of $23,000 that have not been utilized to date. These are
engineering costs that may come up that are not related to projects already identified elsewhere in the budget.
The professional services for the admin department are allocated evenly over the twelve months.

Supplementary Notes to Statement of Income and Expenses Continued for the quarter ending March 31,
2017 – Budget to Actual Analysis
Utilities – (under budget $29,354) This category consists of water, electricity, gas and trash expenses. Electrical
expense represents the largest portion of this variance. Water and electric usage is affected in part by having
less squid boats in the harbor this season. Trash services were increased in July/August to accommodate
increased activity in the Village. $11,205 of the year-to-date variance is attributed to the second quarter (OctDec)
when squid offloading is generally at its peak and $10,493 of the year-to-date variance is attributed to the
third quarter (Jan-Mar). The water usage continues to be lower than in previous years.
Water is under budget by $16,234,
Electricity is under budget by $22,145,
Gas is over budget by $371 and
Trash exceeds budget by $8,654.
Dredging Related Expenses – (under budget $33,917) This variance is in regulatory testing as required for
dredging. Some years the regulators do not require as much testing. Dredging started later this year so there is
still a chance that some of these funds will be used.
Non-operating Revenue:
Investment Income – (exceeds budget $40,458) This budget item is very conservative. The fair market value of
the Stifel investment remained fairly constant and was cashed out upon it’s maturity in February, The investment
rate earned through LAIF continues to be significantly higher than anticipated.
Tax Income – (exceeds budget $36,665) This budget item is also a conservative estimate. It represents the
District’s pro-rata share of the Ventura County property tax assessments collected.

VENTURA PORT DISTRICT STANDARD AGENDA ITEM 3
BOARD COMMUNICATION Meeting Date: May 24, 2017
TO: Board of Port Commissioners
FROM: Oscar Peña, General Manager
Brian Pendleton, Business Operations Manager
SUBJECT: Request for Proposals to Lease Ventura Port District Property for Development of
Visitor Serving Uses
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Port Commissioners:
1) Receive staff presentation, public comments and Development Team presentations from
Pacific Heritage Communities and H. Parker Hospitality regarding their proposals for Parcel 5
and Parcel 8 for development of visitor serving uses at Ventura Harbor pursuant to the
Request for Proposals (RFP) issued on May 2, 2016; and,
2) Select a Development Team for negotiations of ground lease options and ground lease
agreements for future Board consideration.
SUMMARY:
On April 27, 2016, the Board of Port Commissioners approved the Request for Proposals (RFP) to
Lease Ventura Port District Property for Development of Visitor Serving Uses and authorized staff to
initiate the RFP process. The RFP was released on May 2, 2016 and proposals were due by August
12, 2016. The Site(s) is comprised of two separate unimproved and non-contiguous parcels. Parcel 5
(grass lawn area) portion is approximately 30,250 square feet or .69 acres and roughly rectangular in
shape. Parcel 8 is approximately 90,169 square feet or 2.07 acres and irregularly shaped.
On April 26, 2017, the District held an informational meeting at which time, two development teams
who responded to the RFP presented their concepts for the two sites. The two development teams
were Pacific Heritage Communities and H. Parker Hospitality. No action was taken on April 26 with
respect to the proposals, however it was announced that the Commission would consider a formal
selection on Wednesday, May 24, 2017.
A formal selection of a Development Team will lead to negotiations of ground lease options and
ground lease agreements for Board consideration at a future public meeting for the development of
the Site(s) as part of a proposed Development Program. Through this RFP process the District is
taking the first step in a lengthy entitlement and permitting process that involves the City of Ventura,
the California Coastal Commission and community stakeholders.
BACKGROUND:
The Site(s) is located at Ventura Harbor, a premier recreational harbor in Ventura County offering a
variety of amenities for boating enthusiasts and visitors, including easy access to the Channel Islands,
recreational fishing activities, boatyards, fuel docks, tours, rentals, cruises, vibrant yacht clubs and a
new public launch ramp. Ventura Harbor has five marinas with 1,500 boat slips.
The Ventura Harbor is also home to significant commercial fishing activity made possible by its deepwater
capabilities and proximity to the international trade centers in Los Angeles, making it one of the
key offloading points on the West Coast.
The District owns and operates Harbor Village with seaside dining and shopping, scenic beaches,
with the five islands of the Channel Islands National Park just off the coast. Harbor Village has a
88
diverse collection of restaurants, boutiques and art galleries. The District is currently in the middle of a
multi-phased accessibility and common area enhancement capital improvement project in Harbor
Village.
Approved and proposed Harbor developments in the vicinity of the Site(s) include:
Sondermann Ring Partners (“SRP”) project on Parcels 15, 16 and 18. See Exhibit 3. The mixed-use
development, which will be known as “Portside” moving forward, consists of:
o 300 apartment units
o 20,000 sq. ft. of commercial space
o 150 boat Marina
o Public park and promenade
o Public launch ramp (e.g. kayaking and paddle boarding)
The project is fully entitled and broke ground in December 2016.
The Holiday Inn Express expansion on Parcel 1 along Harbor Boulevard will add 40 guest rooms, with
new lobby and amenities to the existing hotel. Entitlements are near completion. Ground breaking is
anticipated by 3rd – 4th Quarter 2017.
Ventura Harbor Marina and Yacht Yard on Parcel 20 has plans for expansion of its existing operations
that include a restaurant, sport fishing, dry dock storage, and repair facilities. Plans call for doubling of
boat slips from 40 to 80 and constructing a new two story retail and office building w/ handicap
access. Entitlement processing is now underway with the City and California Coastal Commission.
The Ventura Port District has been awarded a two-year, $300,000 Sea Grant (approximately
$265,000 to the District) fund in collaboration with the Ventura Shellfish Enterprise (VSE), a multistakeholder
initiative that seeks to permit and manage a commercial shellfish aquaculture as a
technically proven method for the production of high value seafood to be landed at Ventura Harbor.
Specifically, VSE is seeking entitlements for aquaculture leases in state waters off the Santa Barbara
Channel to expand Ventura Harbor fisheries.
Request for Proposals (RFP)
The District, through the Board-approved RFP process, is seeking to lease two, non-contiguous
parcels totaling approximately 120,419 square feet for development of new visitor serving uses. The
portion of Parcel 5 under consideration is generally the grass area portion adjacent to the former
Blackbeards space at 1591 Spinnaker Drive. Parcel 8 is immediately adjacent to National Park
Visitors’ Center at the end of Spinnaker Drive. The grass lawn is approximately 30,250 sq. ft. or .69
acres and Parcel 8 is approximately 90,169 square feet or 2.07 acres. The Site(s) is located within the
Ventura Harbor, where development is guided by the City’s Municipal Code zoning regulations, and
1989 Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). The Comp Plan also functions as the Local Coastal Plan, the
policy document along with coastal zoning ordinance that make up the City’s Local Coastal Program
(LCP).
The Site(s) is located in the Comp Plan’s South Peninsula area. Within this area, only visitor parking
and public restrooms are permitted uses on the ocean side of Spinnaker Drive. In remaining areas of
the South Peninsula, water-oriented recreation, second story office, an aquarium/research center, the
89
National Park Service Headquarters, tour boat services, recreational marinas, a yacht club and
restaurants with various limitations are existing and/or permitted uses. Development Teams were
permitted to include uses (e.g. hotel) that require amendments to the City’s LCP. In particular hotels
are visitor serving uses and consistent with the underlying zoning regulations, but not specifically
identified as an allowable use in the South Peninsula area.
However, any proposed amendments to the LCP will require a consistency analysis of the proposal
against the State Coastal Act, where public access, public coastal parking and coastal-related
recreation are all maximized while coastal sensitive habitats are protected. Other potential limitations
regarding height, number of stories, lot coverage and view corridors should be fully reviewed and may
require additional Comp Plan/LCP policy and coastal zoning amendments. Further, the State Coastal
Act issues described above could impact the development footprint for Parcel 8.
The following development types were not considered for the RFP:
• Residential
• Timeshare
• Waterside development (e.g. marinas)
One of the challenges associated with increasing the land use intensity at or near Harbor Village,
regardless of the type of visitor serving use, is the need for additional parking availability. Parking
surveys were conducted during summer 2015 by Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE) on
behalf of the District. The surveys demonstrated that many Harbor Village parking lots were at or near
capacity on weekend afternoons during the peak season times studied. This was not the case on
weekdays, where parking availability was much greater. Also there was significant parking availability
in the private marinas throughout the week and weekend, but not for general public use.
As a result of these surveys, the District’s Commission engaged ATE to prepare a parking
management study “Study” for existing uses throughout the harbor, but with particular emphasis on
the Harbor Village area. The Study was prepared, presented and approved by the Board earlier this
year. Development Teams are required to demonstrate to the District how they would meet parking
requirements at the Site(s), or in combination with offsite parking as may be considered by the District
and regulatory bodies such as the City of Ventura.
RFP Outreach
Circulation of the RFP included placement on the District website, distribution to the District’s existing
master and village tenants, and other interested and potentially interested parties. Advertising
included the Ventura County Star, Pacific Coast Business Times, Los Angeles Times and Western
Real Estate Business; California Special District Association (CSDA); The Log; and three trade
journals. Staff also attended the Urban Land Institute’s Hotel and Resort Development Conference in
June, 2016 to promote the RFP.
The District received three proposals for Parcel 5, and four proposals for Parcel 8. The Parcel 5
proposals included 2 hotels; and 1 commercial mixed-use project. The Parcel 8 proposals included 2
hotels; 1 hotel, amphitheater, commercial mixed-use project; and 1 boating club, education center and
commercial mixed-use project.
Pursuant to the RFP selection process, staff evaluated each proposal for its relative strengths and
weaknesses. Based on this thorough review, three development teams representing six of the seven
proposals were invited to continue in the selection process. Those development teams included
Brighton Management “Brighton”, H. Parker Hospitality “Parker” and Pacific Heritage Communities
“Pacific Heritage”. The Ventura Ocean Center proposal, which proposed a boating club, education
90
center, and commercial mixed-use development was deemed non-responsive and therefore not
invited to continue in the RFP selection process.
The three development teams were invited to participate in an interview and provide a public
presentation. The interviews were held on Thursday, September 29th. The interview panel included
Oscar Peña, Brian Pendleton, David Ward, Planning Manager for the City of Ventura and Jim Ludwig,
KL Associates. Mr. Ward has extensive experience evaluating and processing projects in Ventura’s
coastal zone, while Mr. Ludwig is a commercial real estate owner, investor and consultant and serves
on the Ventura Visitors and Convention Bureau Board and Executive Committee.
The public presentations by the three development teams were held on November 9, 2016 at a Board
of Port Commissioners meeting. At a subsequent public meeting of the Board of Port Commissioners
held on December 7, 2016 Brighton Management was eliminated from further consideration in the
RFP process.
Following that Board decision, the two remaining teams were asked to respond to a request for
additional information and provide updated project plans by March 3, 2017. As a follow-up to their
submissions, both teams were given the opportunity to provide public presentations on April 26, 2017
at a Board of Port Commissioners meeting. As a result of the public presentations, both teams were
given the opportunity to provide any final project information to the District by May 1st.
Below is an overview for each of the two developer proposals for Parcel 5 and Parcel 8. Additional
project details are provided by Development Teams in Attachments 2-3 and project comparisons
provided by staff in Attachments 4-5.
PACIFIC HERITAGE COMMUNITIES
Parcel 5
Pacific Heritage is a developer with several residential projects in various stages of development in
the City of Ventura and a commercial and residential mixed-use project adjacent to Channel Islands
Harbor. Pacific Heritage proposes a two-story, commercial mixed-use project consisting of an open
floor plan of fisherman and farmers’ market stalls, four cafes and at-grade parking on the first floor,
two restaurants (one with jazz entertainment) on the second floor. Site improvements include
pedestrian-oriented promenade upgrades.
Pacific Heritage proposes a two-story restaurant building located north of and adjacent to the grass
lawn area currently utilized for surface parking. The building would consist of one restaurant on the
first floor and one restaurant on the second floor.
Pacific Heritage proposes a one-story, 18 room (38-bed) hostel between the two-story restaurant
building and 1691 Spinnaker Drive (Island Packers) currently utilized for surface parking. The hostel
would provide an off-site affordable component to the Parcel 8 hotel described below.
Pacific Heritage would develop and lease the project to fisherman and farmers’ market stall vendors,
café and restaurant operators, and a hostel operator. Letters of interest have been provided by
Stonehaus, Bogies, Vibrato Grill & Jazz and The Federal Bar.
Pacific Heritage proposes to provide parking on-site and off-site in Harbor Village and on Spinnaker
Drive. Parking for the hostel is off-site as part of the parking provided for their Parcel 8 proposal.
Parking plans are subject to the regulatory process including the District, City of Ventura and Coastal
Commission and where applicable, the approval or agreement of other master tenants.
91
Parcel 8
Pacific Heritage proposes a three-story, 125-room boutique hotel, with ballroom, meeting rooms,
event area, rooftop pool, spa/fitness, bar and restaurant. The various hotel venues will be used for
public and private events such as weddings, conferences, corporate retreats, musical entertainment,
educational programming and community events. Pacific Heritage would develop and lease the
project to a hotel operator. A letter of interest is provided by Westlake Village Inn.
Pacific Heritage proposes to provide parking on-site and off-site on Parcel 9 National Park Service
(NPS) Visitor Center, Parcel 7 Ventura West Marina II and on Spinnaker Drive. Parking plans are
subject to the regulatory process including the District, City of Ventura and Coastal Commission and
where applicable, the approval or agreement of other master tenants.
H. PARKER HOSPITALITY
Parcel 5
Parker develops, owns and operates the Fess Parker hotel brand. Parker owns three hotels in
neighboring Santa Barbara County and provides management services for other boutique hotels in
California. Parker proposes a 40-room, 2-story hybrid hostel lodging facility with public pocket park
located within the footprint of the grass lawn area. Twelve of the rooms would be shared hostel-style
rooms, with the remaining 28 private hotel rooms. Parker would develop and operate this project
called “Harbor Adventure Lodge & Hostel”, in conjunction with their proposed boutique hotel for Parcel
8, as a diversified price point hotel project.
Parker proposes to provide parking on-site and off-site on Parcel 8. Parking plans are subject to the
regulatory process including the District, City of Ventura and Coastal Commission and where
applicable, the approval or agreement of other master tenants.
Parcel 8
Parker proposes a two and three story, 69-room, upscale boutique family-oriented hotel with beach
side restaurant, events pavilion and lawn area, water taxi and dock, rooftop pool, bar and grill. The
various hotel venues will be used for public and private events such as weddings, musical
entertainment, lecture series, kids club and culinary events. Parker would entitle, develop and operate
this project called “Harbor Cove Inn” in conjunction with their proposed hybrid hostel hotel for Parcel
5, as a diversified price point hotel project.
Parker proposes to provide parking on-site and off-site on Parcel 7 Ventura West Marina II or Harbor
Cove parking lot. Parking plans are subject to the regulatory process including the District, City of
Ventura and Coastal Commission and where applicable, the approval or agreement of other master
tenants.
PARCEL 5 AND 8 BIFURCATION:
Since Parcels 5 and 8 are non-contiguous, the RFP allowed for developers to submit proposals for
one or both parcels. Pacific Heritage and Parker submitted proposals for both parcels. Each
developer takes a different approach with respect to the two sites regarding project bifurcation.
Pacific Heritage has indicated that while there is a synergy between their two proposals, each project
will operate independently of each other. Therefore they would proceed with either project if not
awarded both sites.
92
Parker’s proposals are joined by a singular entitlement strategy. This strategy is designed to provide
lower cost visitor accommodations on Parcel 5 (grass lawn) and boutique (higher cost)
accommodations on Parcel 8. This strategy is consistent with the Coastal Commission and the City of
Ventura Local Coastal Program (LCP) which states in part that “Lower cost visitor accommodations
shall be protected, encouraged, and where feasible, provided.” Parker has indicated they would
pursue the Parcel 8 boutique hotel as a standalone project, but believe it is not an effective
entitlement strategy without the hostel on Parcel 5 (grass lawn). Parker has indicated the economics
of the Parcel 5 (grass lawn) hostel as a standalone project do not work.
Given the complexity of the coastal entitlement process and LCP constraints of each parcel relative to
buildable area, view corridor requirements, etc., bifurcation of the two parcels to two different
development teams potentially compromises the successful development of both parcels.
FINANCIAL HISTORY OF DEVELOPERS:
In late March, District Counsel requested a litigation history (2006 – present) and financial information
from both proposed developers. The purpose was to further vet the candidates, and to gather
important information to assist the Board in selecting the best developer for Parcel 5 and 8. Neither
developer had a lengthy litigation history, just some irrelevant matters, such as divorce proceedings
and a partnership dispute. Both developers have had a successful history in real estate development:
the Parker Group mostly with commercial oriented projects, and the Ashkar Group with both
residential and commercial projects. Both developers are very strong financially, and appear to have
the wherewithal to successfully complete their planned developments on Parcels 5 and 8. This is true
even though the Ashkar Group currently has pledged some of its investment accounts as security for
cash advances to support other projects. Those projects, however, should be completed and
refinanced before development work on Parcels 5 & 8 gets underway. Accordingly, these pledged
assets should not be cause for concern, because the Ashkar Group has significant other non-pledged
assets.”
FISCAL IMPACTS:
New visitor serving uses at the Harbor can provide new ground lease revenue and other indirect
financial benefits to the Port District such as increased Harbor Village visitation and spending, and
activation of underutilized Port District real property assets. As reported by the Ventura Visitors and
Convention Bureau (VVCB), the California Travel Impacts 2013, SMG Consulting study found that
82% of visitor travel spending in Ventura County is on items other than their accommodations. Of the
82%, the bulk of the spending, 50% is on retail and restaurant purchases.
Community benefits could include increased City-wide tourism; increased property (possessory
interest), sales and/or transient occupancy tax revenues depending upon use; and creation, retention,
or expansion of job opportunities. Other benefits include improved public coastal access and related
visitor serving amenities.
NEXT STEPS:
Selection of a Development Team for negotiations of ground lease options and ground lease
agreements for future Board consideration at a future public meeting for the development of the
Site(s) as part of a proposed Development Program. Through this RFP process the District is taking
the first step in a lengthy entitlement and permitting process that involves the City of Ventura, the
California Coastal Commission and community stakeholders.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO LEASE VENTURA PORT DISTRICT
PROPERTY FOR DEVELOPMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Development Opportunity
The Ventura Port District (“District”) is seeking visitor serving proposals for the lease
and development of two non-contiguous parcels totaling approximately 120,419
square feet in Ventura, CA (the “Site(s)”) which may lead to negotiations of an option
agreement and ground lease or similar agreement with the selected Development
Team. Proposals may include lease and development of one or both parcels and
should seek to capitalize and/or leverage the Site(s) with existing Harbor visitor
serving properties and uses in order to achieve the greatest economic impact,
development quality, use and design efficiency for Ventura Harbor.
1.2 Location
The Site(s) is located in the South Peninsula of the harbor on a portion of Assessor
Parcel Number (APN) 080-0-240-260 referred to as the District’s Development Plan
Parcel 5, generally the grass lawn area portion of Parcel 5; and Parcel 8, containing
undeveloped land at the end of Spinnaker Drive. The Parcel 5 grass lawn area is
bounded by Harbor Village parking, Island Packers, and National Park Service
offices to the north; Harbor Village commercial businesses to the South; the Harbor
to the east; and Harbor Village parking and the Pacific Ocean to the West. Parcel 8
is bounded by the Harbor to the North; Spinnaker Drive to the South; National Park
Service Visitors’ Center to the east, and Harbor to the West. See Exhibit 1.
1.3 Size
The Site(s) is comprised of two separate unimproved and non-contiguous parcels.
Parcel 5 (grass lawn area) portion is approximately 30,250 sq. ft. or .69 acres and
roughly rectangular in shape. Development Teams may consider submitting
proposals with a larger development footprint than the 30,250 sq. ft. Parcel 8 is
approximately 90,169 square feet or 2.07 acres and irregularly shaped.
1.4 Property Status
The District owns both parcels and has the legal authority to lease the Site(s) for a
maximum period of 50 years under the Harbors & Navigations Code Section 6271.
Development of the Site(s) is guided by the City’s Municipal Code zoning
regulations, and 1989 Comprehensive Plan (“Comp Plan”). The Comp Plan also
functions as the Local Coastal Plan, the policy document along with coastal zoning
ordinance that make up the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP).
1.5 Community Benefits
The District is seeking visitor serving development proposals that provide both
District and community benefits. Typical benefits are discussed in greater detail in
Section 5, below.

2. OVERVIEW
2.1 The Opportunity
The Site(s) is located at Ventura Harbor, a premier recreational harbor in Ventura
County offering a variety of amenities for boater enthusiasts and visitors, including
easy access to the Channel Islands, recreational fishing activities, boatyards, fuel
docks, tours, rentals, cruises, vibrant yacht clubs and a new public launch ramp.
Ventura Harbor has five marinas with 1,500 boat slips.
The Ventura Harbor is also home to significant commercial fishing activity made
possible by its deep-water capabilities and proximity to the international trade
centers in Los Angeles, making it one of the key offloading points on the West
Coast.
Three of the most prominent fish companies in the US reside in Ventura Harbor
selling California Market Squid and other seafood types around the globe, with
market squid remaining California’s largest and most lucrative commercial fishery.
For over 45 years, fisherman have utilized Ventura Harbor as their port to offload a
variety of fish including tuna, halibut, lobster, crab, sea cucumber, prawn, rockfish
and sea bass.
The District owns and operates Harbor Village with seaside dining and shopping,
scenic beaches, with the five islands of the Channel Islands National Park just off
the coast. Harbor Village has a diverse collection of restaurants, boutiques and art
ATTACHMENT 1 100
Ventura Port District RFP 5
galleries. The District is currently in the middle of a multi-phased accessibility and
common area enhancement capital improvement project in Harbor Village. See
Exhibit 2.
Proposed developments in the vicinity of the Site(s) include the Sondermann Ring
Partners (“SRP”) project on Parcels 15, 16 and 18. See Exhibit 3. The mixed-use
development project consists of:
o 300 apartment units
o 20,000 sq. ft. of commercial space
o 150 boat Marina
o Public park and promenade
o Public launch ramp (e.g. kayaking and paddle boarding)
The SRP Project is fully entitled and in plan check. Ground breaking is anticipated in
2016.
Holiday Inn Express expansion on Parcel 1 along Harbor Boulevard will add 40
guest rooms, with new lobby and amenities to the existing hotel. Entitlements are
near completion.
Ventura Harbor Marina and Yacht Yard on Parcel 20 has plans for expansion of its
existing operations that include a restaurant, sport fishing, dry dock storage, and
repair facilities. Plans call for doubling of boat slips from 40 to 80 and constructing a
new two story retail and office building w/ handicap access. Entitlement processing
is now underway.
The Ventura Port District has been awarded a two year, approximately $300,000
Sea Grant fund in collaboration with the Ventura Shellfish Enterprise (VSE), a multistakeholder
initiative that seeks to permit and manage a commercial shellfish culture
as a technically proven method for the production of high value seafood to be landed
at Ventura Harbor. Specifically, VSE is seeking entitlements for aquaculture leases
in state waters off the Santa Barbara Channel to expand Ventura Harbor fisheries.
2.2 The Site(s)
The Site(s) is located within the Ventura Harbor. Development in the Harbor is
guided by the City’s Municipal Code zoning regulations, and 1989 Comprehensive
Plan (Comp Plan). The Comp Plan also functions as the Local Coastal Plan, the
policy document along with coastal zoning ordinance that make up the City’s Local
Coastal Program (LCP). The Comp Plan describes the Ventura Harbor community
as including the waters of Ventura Harbor and the land immediately surrounding
these waters. The Ventura Harbor area, as defined, is limited to the jurisdictional
boundaries of the Ventura Port District. Within the Ventura Port District jurisdictional
boundaries, the harbor has been divided into four subareas. These subareas are
ATTACHMENT 1 101
Ventura Port District RFP 6
referred to as the South Peninsula, Southwest Harbor, Central Harbor and Northeast
Harbor. The Site(s) is located in the Comp Plan’s South Peninsula area. Within this
area, only visitor parking and public restrooms are permitted uses on the ocean side
of Spinnaker Drive. In remaining areas of the South Peninsula, water-oriented
recreation, second story office, an aquarium/research center, the National Park
Service Headquarters, tour boat services, recreational marinas, a yacht club and
restaurants with various limitations are existing and/or permitted uses. Other visitor
serving uses include hotels. However, while hotels are permitted in the HC zone,
they are not identified as a permitted use in the South Peninsula, and therefore an
amendment to the City’s Comp Plan would be necessary (See LCP amendments
below). Parcel 5 (lawn area) is on the Harbor side of Spinnaker Drive, and therefore
not subject to the prohibition of development on the ocean side of Spinnaker Drive. It
is less clear how Parcel 8 will be viewed from a land use perspective given its
location at the end of Spinnaker Drive. Further, the State Coastal Act issues
described below could impact the development footprint for Parcel 8.
It is incumbent upon the Development Team to fully review and consider the City’s
Municipal Code zoning regulations, and 1989 Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan).
Proposed Development Programs may seek amendments to the City’s LCP. Any
proposed amendments to the LCP will require a consistency analysis of the proposal
against the State Coastal Act, where public access, public coastal parking and
coastal-related recreation are all maximized while coastal sensitive habitats are
protected. Other potential limitations regarding height, number of stories and lot
coverage should be fully reviewed and may require additional Comp Plan/LCP policy
and coastal zoning amendments.
California Coastal Commission (“CCC”) drafted and approved the Sea Level Rise
policy in 2015 as “guidelines”. As new “guidelines,” it is unknown how they would
apply to proposed development projects. However, new LCP amendments may
raise new issues under the “guidelines.”
The following development types will not be considered:
• Residential
• Timeshare
• Waterside development (e.g. marinas)
Parking
One of the challenges associated with increasing the land use intensity at or near
Harbor Village, regardless of the type of visitor serving use, is the need for additional
parking availability. Parking surveys were conducted during summer 2015 by
Associated Transportation Engineers (ATE) on behalf of the District. The surveys
demonstrated that many Harbor Village parking lots were at or near capacity on
weekend afternoons during the peak season times studied. This was not the case
on weekdays, where parking availability was much greater. Also there was
significant parking availability in the private marinas throughout the week and
weekend, but not for general public use. As a result of these surveys, the District’s
ATTACHMENT 1 102
Ventura Port District RFP 7
Commission has engaged ATE to prepare a parking management strategy for
existing uses throughout the harbor, but with particular emphasis on the Harbor
Village area. Development Teams are responsible for meeting the parking
requirements of their proposed Development Program and must demonstrate to the
District in the proposal how they will meet them at the Site(s), or in combination with
offsite parking as may be considered by the District and regulatory bodies such as
the City of Ventura.
2.3 Background Information
History – The Ventura Port District was established on April 8, 1952, by an election
and majority vote of the citizens of Ventura. On April 15, 1952, the Board of
Supervisors of Ventura County, ordered formation of the District pursuant to the
Harbors and Navigation Code of the State of California. The District was organized
for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and operating a commercial and
recreational boat harbor within the City of Ventura. The District’s legal boundaries
encompass all of the City of Ventura as well as some small areas outside the City
limits. The Ventura Port District is what is known as an Independent “Special
District.” State law defines a special district as “any agency of the state for the local
performance of governmental or proprietary functions within limited boundaries.” A
special district is a separate local government that delivers public services, and is
governed by a five member board appointed by the Ventura City Council. The
District is the owner/operator of the Ventura Harbor. The Harbor is a 274 acre
multiple use recreational and commercial fishing small craft harbor. Other than a
2.74 acre site owned by the Department of Interior, National Park Service, the
District is the sole landowner within the Harbor. The District’s current property
holdings include approximately 152 acres of land and 122 acres of water area. The
voters of the District approved a general obligation bond issue of $4,750,000 on
February 13, 1962 to be used for construction of the Harbor. Construction was
completed and the Harbor commenced operations June 16, 1963.
Mission Statement – The Ventura Port District, home to the Channel Islands National
Park, provides a safe and navigable harbor and a seaside destination that benefits
residents, visitors, fisherman, and boaters to enjoy Ventura Harbor’s exceptional
facilities, events, and services.
Goals – The Ventura Port District will provide a rewarding and vibrant coastal marine
experience to our residents and visitors through efficient and timely execution of
these District Goals.
1) Maintain and enhance a safe and navigable harbor by:
securing funding through the Army Corps of Engineers in coordination with
agencies and our elected officials;
dredging the Inner Harbor and preserving infrastructure;
providing superior Harbor Patrol, Maintenance, and related Port District
services;
upgrading infrastructure, equipment and facilities for a modernized,
efficient and safe working harbor
ATTACHMENT 1 103
Ventura Port District RFP 8
2) Support and promote commercial and recreational boating and fishing.
3) Increase economic development, vitality, and diversity of the District through
effective leasing and marketing strategies.
4) Promote sustainable use of our natural environment through business practices
and programs designed in concert with our tenants, educators, agencies, and
interest groups.
5) Build respectful, productive, and mutually beneficial business relationships with
our tenants, public agencies, elected officials and the community.
6) Provide exceptional public service and transparency at all levels within the
organization through effective leadership, training, mentoring, and oversight. This
promotes accountability, increased public trust, and a more efficient, effective and
public focused organization.
2.4 Development Program Goals and Objectives
Development Team proposals should seek to further the District’s mission and goals
as well as provide District and community benefits. Development Teams may submit
proposals including lease and development of one or both Site(s). Proposals should
seek to capitalize and/or leverage the Site(s) with existing Harbor visitor serving
properties and uses in order to achieve the greatest economic impact, development
quality, use and design efficiency for Ventura Harbor. In this context, capitalize
and/or leverage means that proposed development should benefit from existing and
proposed Harbor uses, as well as, provide benefit to existing and proposed Harbor
uses. Financial and other benefits could be achieved through collaboration with
other Master Tenants, Harbor Village Tenants, the National Parks Service, etc.
Benefits could also be achieved through existing or proposed Site control of other
parcels, existing or future agreements for shared parking, transportation services,
and by proposed operational relationships between existing Harbor properties and
uses and the proposed Development Program with one or both Site(s). The
Development Team should clearly articulate the proposed Development Program
goals and objectives.
3. RFP CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Respondent Considerations
Information to be considered in making a proposal includes the following:
3.1.1 Proposals shall include an offer to ground lease one or both Site(s)
for Development Program purposes.
3.1.2 Ability to capitalize and/or leverage the Site(s) with existing Harbor
visitor serving properties and uses.
ATTACHMENT 1 104
Ventura Port District RFP 9
3.1.3 Proposals shall include, at a minimum, specific option and lease
terms, including length of option and ground leases and projected monthly
option fee and ground lease revenues to the District, including minimum
annual rentals and percentage rentals based on business activity to be
conducted on the site(s). The District may require a good faith deposit from
the Developer as part of the option and ground lease process.
3.1.4 The District will not consider proposals involving District financial
participation in the ground lease or development of the Site(s). Developer at
its own cost is responsible for all leasing activity and development of the
site(s) including any and all fees (e.g. entitlements, permits). No fees or other
costs are waived by selection through this RFP process and should be
calculated as part of the proposed Development Program expenses.
3.1.5 The selected Development Team will be responsible for obtaining
any and all governmental approvals (e.g. entitlements, permits, etc.).
Selection through the RFP process does not guarantee outcomes relative to
necessary governmental approvals and should be considered in the
Development Program Time Schedule.
3.1.6 The Site(s) is located within the Ventura Harbor. Development in
the Harbor is guided by the City’s Municipal Code zoning regulations, and
1989 Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). The Comp Plan also functions as
the Local Coastal Plan, the policy document along with coastal zoning
ordinance that make up the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP).
3.1.7 The District is ground leasing the Site(s) “As Is” and is not obligated
to repair, improve, or otherwise incur any expense with regard to improving
the property or funding any additional environmental testing or remediation. If
any prior testing has occurred, any reports on file are available for public
inspection.
3.1.8 Developer will be responsible directly to the serving entities for all
utilities required for the use of the Site(s). Developer will agree to order,
obtain, and pay for all utilities and services and installation charges in
connection with the development and operation of the property.
3.1.9 The Developer will be required to pay any and all property taxes or
possessory interest taxes (e.g. Ventura County) when due.
3.1.10 Developer will be required to provide insurance coverage as
required by the District.
Developers shall consider these factors in the proposed Development Program.

RE: Response to District Request for Information as Outlined in December 19, 2016 Letter
Honorable Commissioners:
Please find the attached response to your questions and your requests for additional information as
outlined in your December 19, 2016 letter regarding our proposals for Ventura Port District Parcels 5
and 8.
We were pleased to learn that we were one of two Development Teams chosen for consideration. We
welcome this opportunity to not only respond to questions, but through that process, to refine and
improve the individual projects contained within our proposal. We remain committed to this process
and have worked diligently since our last presentation on improving design, site planning, and solidifying
agreements with additional tenants and operators. We value the opportunity to partner with your
Commission and staff in realizing your vision for Ventura Harbor.
We have assembled a project team that has built personal and working relationship with this community
over decades –with elected officials, agencies and the community on any number of development
projects and in support of non‐profit quality of life endeavors. We understand the local landscape –
from project entitlement and permitting to community outreach and marketing. It is also a team with an
understanding and experience of how to respond to and navigate coastal, state, and federal processing.
Of great import over the long term are the quality business owners and operators that have committed
to be part of these exciting projects, including the new addition of John Notter with Stonehaus, Bogies,
and Westlake Properties, Inc.
We look forward to maintaining open lines of communication with your Commission and your staff as
this review process continues. Please contact me directly if you require more enhanced responses to
the questions within your December 19, 2016 letter, clarification of what follows, or if you have
additional questions or comments.
Respectfully submitted,
John Ashkar

Response to Ground Lease Conditions
and Project Specific Feedback
ATTACHMENT 2 123
Ground Lease Considerations:
Necessity for reciprocal easement agreement (REA)
This is not a problem. We are well experienced with REA’s.
Project Specific Feedback:
We have continued to work to advance the quality and clarity of our submittal, as our goal is to permit
and build projects that are not only of high quality, but that serve the long term interests of the port and
the community. We have maintained open lines of communication with your Commission and staff
throughout the review process and will continue to do so as the process progresses.
These modifications, improvements, and enhanced feasibility studies reflect our investment, effort, and
willingness to not only perfect our proposal, but to respond to the feedback and ideas we have received
throughout this review process. Based on the direction received in the December 19, 2016 letter, as well
as our continued refinements, we have made the following adjustments and changes to the original
proposals.
Overall:
We have added Gensler, a global architecture, design, and planning firm, as the lead on design and
construction drawings for the developments. They bring immense experience and expertise and an
impressive resume of high quality properties. See Development Team Bios for further detail.
Parcel 5:
Per the District’s direction, we have eliminated the office.
We are pleased to include two new, highly esteemed tenants into our expanded mix for Parcel 5 –
Stonehaus and Bogies – as well as an additional tenant for the second floor restaurants, restaurateur
Shad Davis from The Federal. Please see Team Bios and Third Party Letters for further detail and
renderings of these exciting uses.
We are experienced, able, and have begun the research and preparations for a Local Coastal Program
(LCP) amendment per the existing restrictions on number of restaurant at Harbor Village. Through the
expertise and guidance of Susan McCabe of McCabe & Company, she has developed a strategy for
limiting the effects of the LCP process on Parcel 5 even further.
In light of the LCP amendment for the proposed Parcel 5 uses, to expedite the processing and get the
development operational quickly since there are two separate buildings, we propose to break Parcel 5
into Parcel 5A and Parcel 5B. This separation would allow us to move forward with processing and
developing the fish and farmer’s market with upstairs restaurants (Parcel 5A) immediately, without the
ATTACHMENT 2 124
need for a LCP amendment. We would concurrently process the LCP amendment for an additional
restaurant for Parcel 5B (Stonehaus) and begin construction as soon as possible thereafter. Since the
LCP for Parcel 5 is not project specific, the City of Ventura can apply immediately and begin processing
the amendment to the LCP which now limits the numbers of restaurants that can be located within the
South Peninsula area of the harbor.
Parcel 8:
Per the District’s direction, we have eliminated the office and the amphitheater. With the increased
flexibility of space, we have redesigned the hotel to feature a premier outdoor venue and other meeting
rooms for weddings, conference, corporate retreats, and community events. In addition, we have
further defined the spaces surrounding the high end restaurant to feature multiple terraces that
overlook and lead down to the beach as well as the spa, the fitness center, and the rooftop deck and
bar.
Two highly qualified and successful operators of luxury hotels – Dieter Huckestein of Clarismo Partners
and John Notter of Westlake Properties, Inc. are interested in partnering in operating the first‐class
boutique hotel on Parcel 8. Please see further detail on the impressive portfolios and histories of these
operators in their Team Bios.
While crafting our first response to the Port’s RFP, we became aware of the Coastal Commission’s desire
and policy to ensure that hotels with high price points designed to attract a high end demographic
should include a more affordable/assessable alternative for overnight stay. We chose not to include an
affordable component into our hotel at that time, instead with the idea of exploring with Port
Commission, and with the Coastal Commission staff, which affordable alternative best fit into the
Harbor’s long term vision.
As the concept of a hostel has not only surfaced in meetings with your Commission, but with
representatives of the Coastal Commission, we now offer it as an alternative – and propose to build and
operate a boutique hostel on a small portion of parking area between Island Packers and The Stonehaus
(newly proposed tenant for Parcel 5). We will process the hostel in conjunction with the Parcel 8
boutique hotel as one application concurrently with the City of Ventura and Coastal Commission. If in
the event the Harbor Commission decides that they do not want the hostel, that will be fine and can be
eliminated from the hotel application and we will proceed with the boutique hotel as designed.

Third Party Tenants and Operators
Letters of Interest
ATTACHMENT 2 126
Additional Information and Questions 1:
If your proposals include the use of third party tenants and operators (e.g. hotels, restaurants,
retailers, entertainment management, etc.), provide an executed letter of intent (LOI) with each
proposed tenant and operator for Parcels 5 and 8. If it does not, please state so.
Due to the length of time it will take to process these projects, until entitlements are in place, and the
then costs, marketplace, economic atmosphere, financing costs, etc, are known to all, it is not in either
party’s interest to lock in rental rates or terms at this early stage. Enclosed are letters of interest from
the tenant parties who are highly enthusiastic and sincere in renting here and who are also available to
testify at any public hearings.

Re: Pacific Heritage Communities Proposal for Ventura Harbor RFP Parcel 8
Please accept this letter of interest and support for, and our desire to partner with, Pacific Heritage
Communities on their exciting proposed project for your Ventura Harbor.
Clarismo Partners has great interest in a Four Star Boutique Hotel on the coast of Ventura County, and
we see the Parcel 8 project proposed by Pacific Heritage as an incredible opportunity for the City of
Ventura and for the Ventura Harbor especially.
This outstanding and unique location with its marina and ocean setting and views, the proximity of
nearby freeway access, and walkability to local attractions at the Harbor will serve to make this Four Star
Hotel one of the most celebrated in Ventura County. As a high‐end destination and attraction on the
water with beach access, a celebrity chef restaurant, ballroom/event area, rooftop deck and bar, fitness
center and spa, we will draw from the local surrounding community, Ventura County, Santa Barbara
County, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles and from around the United States.
I have met with John, Brett, and Arianna Ashkar several times and on the site. We see a strong fit and
opportunity with this premium location and wish to express our excitement and interest in the Harbor
site.
As I testified before you at the November 9th hearing, I strongly urge the Ventura Harbor Commission to
accept the proposal submitted by Pacific Heritage Communities.
Sincerely,
Clarismo Partners

Stonehaus
Our Story
The Stonehaus, a boutique enoteca reminiscent of Italy, is the newest addition to the Westlake
Village Inn, located off the 101 freeway, halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The
Stonehaus is one of the most unique lifestyle gathering places in the greater Los Angeles area.
The Stonehaus offers a mélange of experiences: custom roasted coffee and fresh baked pastries
in the morning, gourmet food at lunch, ending the day as a wine bar and tasting room. Our
private label coffee is roasted fresh each weekend and our pastries are baked fresh each morning.
During lunch, you can pick up gourmet salads or panini, created by our Executive Chef. The
ingredients are fresh, healthy, and seasonal, offering a fare reminiscent of a chic eatery in
Europe. As the day progresses, the atmosphere relaxes into that of a winery. Serving fresh made
pizza, salumi and fromaggi and a wide range of wine flights, we define enoteca.
The stone courtyard area along with our unique fireplace and private vineyard provide the perfect
backdrop to experience The Stonehaus offerings. Whether you feel like meandering through our
vineyard, sitting by the outdoor stone fireplace or playing bocce ball, we are convinced you will
enjoy and savor every moment.

Attracting Local Residents
and
Market Opportunity Report by The Siracusa Company
ATTACHMENT 2 171
Additional Information and Questions 3:
How will your proposed projects attract local residents to the Harbor on an on‐going basis (e.g. dining,
entertainment, community events, etc.)? How will you market to local residents?
The proposed developments and highest/best uses proposed for Parcel 5 and Parcel 8 are designed to
attract and provide amenities and value to local residents as well as out of town visitors. The strength of
our project is that it features a tenant mix offering a variety of new and trendy dining, entertainment
and shopping experiences, all located in Ventura County’s most attractive beachside and harbor setting.
Parcel 5 offers destination oriented uses that attract broader demographics and increased time usage to
the Harbor.
Highlights and uses that create an ongoing attraction for local and regional customer base:
• A diverse rotating calendar of jazz and music entertainment throughout the week at Herb
Alpert’s Vibrato, appealing to adults seeking night life and social interactions and opportunities;
• Stonehaus, a new destination for professionals and students to work remotely, a venue for
special events, celebrations, and community gatherings where area residents can relax and
enjoy the programming and a dynamic atmosphere throughout the year;
• Bogies, a new hotspot for Millennials and adults who want to unwind and enjoy dancing and live
music that spans a variety of genres in a lively atmosphere;
• An exciting “fresh and local” shopping option for residents – “Pike’s Place Market”/“Fisherman’s
Wharf “retail and commercial center offering fresh fish, organic local produce, and a variety of
gourmet food items and products. This will appeal to shoppers who like the Whole Foods
experience who currently travel to Oxnard, and enjoy the Farmers Market experience, but are
limited to the weekly popups.
The fish and farmer’s market, with refurbished boardwalks and dining pop outs, appeals to families,
Millennials, retirees and the full demographic spectrum of residents and visitors. The fish and farmer’s
market will have a family friendly atmosphere, with a focus on the education and promotion of local
Ventura marine life and the working Harbor. To create a full experience, the market will include small
counter service cafes where customers can grab a chowder bowl or shrimp cocktail, as well as juicery,
coffee and ice cream shops, so that guests can enjoy the wares as they shop and stroll on the
refurbished boardwalk.
Parcel 8 is a centerpiece property within the Harbor, and the upscale boutique experience we have
proposed will attract visitors while providing a high end destination and amenity to the local community.
From weddings and conferences, to National Parks educational programming, to the celebrity chef
restaurant overlooking the grounds and ocean, Parcel 8 will be a year round draw for Ventura residents,
Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles County and from around the United States.
ATTACHMENT 2 172
Highlights and uses that create on ongoing attraction for local and regional customer base include:
• A new venue for weddings, special events, conferences, and community gatherings at the
boutique hotel, where area residents can celebrate or engage in meaningful business
throughout the year. It is anticipated to host over 300 weddings throughout the year;
• A calendar of special events and joint programming with the National Parks Service, Herb
Alpert’s Vibrato, Ventura Harbor, and community connections such as Ventura Music Festival
pre‐festival programming, conferences, wine festivals, etc;
• A celebrity chef restaurant with an outdoor patio that overlooks the ocean, Channel Islands, and
sunsets;
• A luxury spa with discounted packages and services for locals;
• Partnering with the National Parks Service to create joint advertising and promo packages with
the NPS and the hotel
To attract and engage local residents on an ongoing basis, we have begun and will continue to conduct
an in depth marketing study and create marketing strategy. The marketing program will include
traditional methods as well as more creative guerilla tactics.
Some elements include:
• Significant participation with existing co‐op marketing and advertising programs run by Ventura
Harbor Village and the Port District;
• Engaging, professional marketing initiatives developed by a Ventura‐based agency with a
specialty in destination marketing and local customer acquisition strategies;
• Active and integrated social media marketing and advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat,
Twitter and other platforms to connect with and engage local audiences;
• Submissions to weekly and monthly entertainment/special event calendars including VC
Reporter, Ventura County Star, Ventura Breeze, Happenings, Vida, Ventura Today,
TotallyLocalVC.com, VisitVentura.com, 805 Living, and other area publications /websites that
have large local readership/engagement;
• Websites for Herb Alpert’s Vibrato, Stonehaus, and Bogie’s that interface/link with
venturaharbor.com and venturahaborvillage.com;
• Hosting of grand opening parties and charity events as way to create meaningful community
connections;
• Development of a “Loyalty Program” geared towards locals, offering rewards and incentives for
regular patronage;
• Calendar of weekly specials and happy hours and rotating nightly programming that continue to
offer fresh incentives and entertainment;
• Marketing partnerships with key local entities such as the Downtown Ventura Partnership,
Ventura Visitors & Convention Bureau, and Ventura County Coast to drive more local and
regional customers to the harbor year‐round.
ATTACHMENT 2 173
Our goal, with each of our uses, is to create a vibrant harbor environment and thriving economic
generator that provides true and sustainable benefits for all of the Harbor tenants and guests.
The City of Ventura is facing increased competition from local municipalities and commercial retail
centers. The harbor is an amazing local asset that deserves the opportunity to meet its full potential –
investment that will allow existing harbor businesses to grow and flourish. Parcel 5 and Parcel 8 are
pivotal developments for the Harbor, and will set the stage for the harbor of the future.
We are convinced that our proposal directly furthers the District’s mission and goals and provides clear
benefits to the District as well as the local community. Our project alone increases the number of
visitors across demographics from outside the region, while at the same time, serving as a seven day a
week draw for local residents.
Our marketing and outreach strategy focuses on not only the existing customer base, but is also
structured to target sectors and demographics that have yet to frequent harbor businesses. The
proposed developments are an amenity for boat enthusiasts, locals, and tourists alike.

Effective Outreach
to the
Community and Harbor Stakeholders
ATTACHMENT 2 192
Additional Information and Questions 4:
How do you plan to effectively outreach to the community and Harbor stakeholders (including Harbor
Master and Village Tenants, National Park Service) to build support for your proposed projects?
Throughout this process we have worked diligently with Port Staff, Harbor stakeholders, and local
interests such as National Park Service to ensure our project concepts reflect their desires and visions.
Our history of working with the community – our ability to produce projects of public value for all
stakeholders, showcases our capacity to not only work hand in hand and partner with staff and decision
makers, but also to create projects that serve to drive and expand the local economy, while enhancing
the quality of life for local residents.
As we move forward in this process, we will continue to meet with the various Harbor stakeholders to
craft a long term mutually beneficial strategy and vision that will provide a stronger, healthier, more
vibrant Harbor for everybody – businesses and patrons.
From our outreach to the National Park Service, through multiple beneficial and productive meetings,
we have explored specific ways we can assist them in meeting the goals and objectives of their master
plans. Those sessions have set the stage for a continuing positive and solid working relationship, and an
understanding of how that relationship can serve the long term interests of the harbor community.
From our outreach to the National Park Service, we have learned:
• There needs to be improvements to the citizen access to the Visitors Center, as well as
improvements to how trucks (trash pick‐up, deliveries) ingress and egress;
• Of their concern to maintain the views from existing tower at Visitors Center – and have agreed
to do so, and to enhance the tower itself as part of the development of Parcel 8;
• There is a lot of crime at that end of the harbor – there is not enough patrol and enforcement,
and vagrancy and homeless on site is a problem;
• They support moving the cul‐de‐sac closer to the village to allow the creation of a walkable plaza
and to improve the handling of trucks and deliveries;
• That parking for the Park Service is a major issue and concern. They have been allocated 75
spaces, but constantly receive complaints that there is not enough parking. Their staff uses 20
spaces, and some of those are for employees that are on the islands and overnight use.
• There is an opportunity to co‐market together, and they have agreed to explore adjusting their
hours of operation based on activities at the hotel;
ATTACHMENT 2 193
As a result, our project has already been designed to address the following desires and needs:
• Build 40 new parking spaces on the Park Service property for use by the Park Service; this offers
the potential dual benefit of off‐time usage by the Hotel for events;
• Provide use of the convention center, break out meeting rooms, and event spaces for
educational programming and use for public meetings and presentations by the Park Service;
• Partner on a shared service entrance that improves how trucks (trash pick‐up, deliveries) ingress
and egress to alleviate danger for visitors and share the burden of services;
• Improve security on the site through activation of the vacant parcel and shared security facilities
and security plan;
• Enhance the overall walkability, and access to the Visitor Center
• With the leveraged benefits of Parcel 8 and Parcel 5, as well as the proposed hostel component
to Parcel 8, we would like to explore ways to reconnect Island Packers to the Park Service
facilities, particularly in a walkable way where visitors would not need to use their car once at
the Harbor.
The addition of these destination‐oriented spaces will support and promote both the commercial and
recreational uses of boating, fishing, and visiting the harbor. The retail space utilizes the existing core
function of the harbor – both its natural environments and its business practices ‐ and adds a new
element that is both an attraction and a thriving economic addition. As the project moves forward, we
will continue to interface with local stakeholders, and propose the following outreach strategy to build
support for the project:
We propose the following outreach strategy to Harbor stakeholders:
• Continue our on‐going dialogue with the National Parks Service;
• Within the harbor – daytime or morning meetings with restaurant and retail businesses;
• Facilitate meetings with live aboard’s, and the residents of the mobile home park. The purpose
of these meetings are to present our proposed project, but in an “open to input” approach to
answer questions, address, and mitigate any concerns that the residents of the harbor may have
We propose the following outreach strategy for the greater Ventura area:
• Meetings with members of the City Council;
• A presentation before the Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee, and
continuing communications with the Chamber on the status of the project;
• A presentation before the Pierpont Neighborhood Association;
• A presentation before the Downtown Ventura Partners, specifically discussing increased and
effective usage of the Downtown Trolley system; and
• A community meeting with residents of the Ventura Keys;
ATTACHMENT 2 194
• The creation of a web site that will present the project and provide updates on permitting and
construction, on the schedule for public meetings or hearings, as to provide the means to
submit feedback and ask questions; and,
• Host an information meeting and public presentation – but staged as a major event with
entertainment, appetizers, and displays.
As we have affirmed previously, we view the relationship between ourselves and the Port District as a
partnership. Our goal and our desire is to build respectful, productive, and mutually beneficial business
relationships with all parties ‐ our tenants, public agencies, elected officials, and the community.
ATTACHMENT 2 195
Parcel 8
Potential Musical Entertainment Venue
ATTACHMENT 2 196
Additional Information and Questions 5:
Can your proposed project(s) include a signature musical entertainment venue (e.g. small jazz club) on
Parcel 8 to attract local residents? If so, please describe in detail and update your proposal
accordingly.
As we are proposing a jazz club on Parcel 5 (Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Jazz and Grill), we would not suggest
featuring the same concept as part of Parcel 8’s development. Rather, we would utilize Vibrato to
provide programming for a calendar of events throughout the month at the hotel.
For Parcel 8 we are proposing a celebrity chef restaurant that directly interacts with the beautifully
appointed and landscaped outdoor patio and open spaces. This allows the flexibility to program
activities outdoors that can take advantage of the sweeping views of the ocean and Channel Islands. This
restaurant concept can include a light music experience such as house band or special guest
performances in a more intimate setting.
In addition, we will utilize the outdoor event spaces, ballroom and meeting rooms to program musical
entertainment events that can be staged several times a month with entertainment bookings and
events run by Vibrato as well as third parties through the hotel. Smaller intimate events with talent and
entertainment booked by Vibrato or hotel operator will also be programmed in conjunction with the
hotel and restaurant.
Our design also includes a rooftop deck with bar, fire pits, lounge seat and stunning views of the harbor,
ocean, Channel Islands, and sunset. The rooftop deck would provide an ideal location for musical
programming that provides guests with entertainment while they enjoy the natural Harbor amenities.
ATTACHMENT 2 197
Existing Tenant Integration
ATTACHMENT 2 198
Additional Information and Questions 6:
How do you propose to integrate your development with the existing tenant mix, particularly in
Harbor Village?
As noted in our outreach strategy for stakeholders in the harbor, our plan is to organize and facilitate
meetings with the restaurant, retail, and commercial tenants of the harbor. The purpose of this effort
will be to not only build relationships with the existing tenants, but share the foundational philosophy of
our developments and project team: To feature and incorporate uses into our project that complement
the existing tenant base, while expanding their existing customer base. Each of the proposed
developments was designed with the existing tenant mix in mind and the goal of complementing and
growing market share.
We will approach all of the existing tenants as our partners, with the goal of elevating visibility for the
harbor as a whole. To this end we plan to participate in joint promotions and special events with
Ventura Harbor Village, such as entertainment and dining promotions/events.
Parcel 5 creates a destination oriented activity at the Harbor that attracts customers to stay for more
than one thing – eat, play, explore, shop, be entertained. Parcel 5 attracts guests to extend their stay
into the evening, to go out to eat at a Harbor restaurant – new or existing – to patronize one of the live
music venues, bars, or grab a dessert and wine at Stonehaus after. The programming behind each of the
concepts will create a resurgence of life and energy in the Harbor that will attract new and expanded
demographics that do not currently visit the Harbor – more customers and a stronger business climate
for all.
Parcel 5’s uses provide a complimentary expansion of the current market segments in the Harbor. Each
lot and use features a variety of amenities that will attract a range of demographics – all highlighting the
Harbor as a vibrant seaside destination.
The Stonehaus will appeal to professionals and students working on their laptops, or as a place to meet
friends and families for a snack in a vibrant atmosphere. At night, the Stonehaus reaches out to a broad
demographic, especially Millennials, who appreciate the vibrant wine house atmosphere that still
retains a casual vibe. The unique design of Stonehaus creates a social space where people stay, linger,
and relax. It is not a concept where people simply eat and leave. This dynamic caters to extended stays
in the harbor, which means time and dollars spread throughout the various tenants at the Harbor.
Herb Alpert’s Vibrato offers a walk‐in bar to enjoy drinks and music but also provides full service sit
down fine dining for a complete “dinner and a show” experience. With its rotating calendar of nightly
musicians, Vibrato is self‐refreshing draw that will keep people returning to the harbor over and over
again.
Further we are proposing to redo the boardwalk to create pop outs with dining tables and umbrellas,
making it usable and enjoyable for all customers and visitors to the harbor that would like to stroll along
ATTACHMENT 2 199
the promenade. This capitalizes on one of the sites strongest amenities, an amenity that other
commercial/retail centers cannot offer – amazing views of the ocean and a working harbor.
Our Development Program achieves and realizes the greatest economic impact and benefit by providing
new uses with broad appeal across the customer demographic spectrum that will fuel the Harbor’s
resurgence as a seaside destination. Additionally, by promoting and featuring smart, diverse, quality
design, these projects set the bar and the stage for continued quality investment in the Ventura Harbor.
We further propose a cohesive long term development strategy so as the Harbor upgrades over time, it
develops smartly and efficiently.
With our long history of experience in successful processing and approvals, construction, development,
leasing, and management in the City of Ventura, we understand the unfilled marketplace and needs and
know how to increase the customer profile, segments, and demographics of the Harbor.

Parking Plan
and
Parking and Traffic Report by Associated Traffic Engineers
ATTACHMENT 2 201
Additional Information and Questions 7:
Provide an updated parking plan with specific analysis of City of Ventura and California Coastal
Commission required parking for each use, and in the aggregate for each of your proposed projects.
Provide specific on‐site and off‐site parking locations with parking space counts for each location.
Where off‐site parking is included, identify specifically where it is, and who controls it.
It is our goal to follow and assist in the implementation of the Port District’s parking study and plan. We
know the impertinence of parking and that is must be satisfactory for all – for our tenants, for
customers, and for existing tenants.
Per our attached design by global architects, Gensler, each of the sites provide the following on‐site
parking.
On Parcel 5 we are providing 74 spaces on the property, including covered spaces that provide
convenient direct access to the fish and farmer’s market, Stonehaus, and the harbor boardwalk.
On Parcel 8 we have 171 parking stalls onsite.
Additionally, we will be building 40 parking spaces on the National Parks Service property for use by
their employees and guests. This will be extremely beneficial to the National Parks, providing convenient
parking, will free up the parking they currently utilize in the general lot, and will have the additional
benefit of shared parking for use by the Hotel during non‐usable hours for the National Park.

supplemental report by Associated Traffic Engineers.

Entitlement Process and Timeline
ATTACHMENT 2 213
Additional Information and Questions 8:
Describe in greater detail how you plan to approach and receive entitlements through the California
Coastal Commission. Provide an updated entitlement and development schedule for each Parcel.
The Development Team has decades of experience processing with the City of Ventura and the
California Coastal Commission. The Developer has received more approved projects than any other in
the City and has never submitted a project that was not approved. As such, the Developer is realistic in
its vision for time to completion.
Parcel 8 and Parcel 5 will move forward on mutually exclusively and separate timelines due to the
differing nature of the designs and coastal issues. Each project will be processed concurrently and as
quickly as possible while maintaining a commitment to quality design.
We have begun the research and preparations for the Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendments for each
Parcel and have indentified key timing differences.
For Parcel 5, the LCP currently limits the allowable number of restaurants in South Peninsula. As this
requirement is not imposed by the Commission but rather by the City as part of their General Plan, the
City can process the amendment request that asks the Commission to expand the number of allowable
restaurants within the South Peninsula area of the harbor. The Parcel 5 LCP amendment is not a project
specific LCP and thus can begin processing without delay. Once the City applies for the amendment,
Susan McCabe of McCabe & Company estimates this process should take six months.
Through the expertise and guidance of Susan McCabe, we have developed a strategy for limiting the
effects of the LCP process on Parcel 5 even further. As noted previously in this submittal, we propose
splitting Parcel 5 into Parcel 5A and Parcel 5 B in order to expedite the processing of Parcel 5A and limit
the time impacts of the LCP amendment to Parcel 5B. As there are two separate buildings, this
separation would allow us to move forward with processing and developing the fish and farmer’s
market with upstairs restaurants (Parcel 5A) immediately, without needing an LCP Amendment. We
would concurrently process the LCP amendment for restaurant space for Parcel 5B (Stonehaus) and get
into the ground as quickly as possible.
Parcel 8 will require a longer process through Coastal Commission than Parcel 5. As Susan McCabe
explains, Parcel 8 will require a project specific LCP amendment as hotel use is currently prohibited on
the site. As such, the Commission will want to see the hotel at a stage far enough along to represent the
actual project prior to processing the amendment. In other words, the amendment will follow the
project itself.
A conservative estimate with contingency time for Parcel 5 is four (4) to five (5) years and Parcel 8 is five
(5) to seven (7) years. We are hopeful if things go smoothly with our strategy of bifurcating the different
LCP amendments as and when needed that we can reduce the approval time frame to a year and half
(1.5) for Parcel 5 and three (3) years for Parcel 8.

ATTACHMENT 2 224
Additional Information and Questions 10:
Provide updated site plans, floor plans, elevations and renderings as applicable to properly inform the
District of your revised proposals to the District.
Our proposals have continued to develop and flourish in the time since our last proposal. Please see the
below summaries for updated uses of each Parcel.
Parcel 8:
The proposed development consists of a high end approximately one hundred twenty eight (128) room
boutique hotel capitalizing on the natural amenities of the harbor with a rooftop deck and bar, pool,
spa, fitness center, bar and restaurant, ballroom and break out meeting rooms, and outdoor event
spaces all designed for the guests to view the ocean, islands, and sunset while enjoying the hotel
amenities.
The project also addressed safety concerns highlighted by the National Parks, see detailed descriptions
in “Effective Outreach to Community and Harbor Stakeholders”.
Two highly qualified and successful operators of luxury hotels – Dieter Huckestein of Clarismo Partners
and John Notter of Westlake Properties, Inc. are partnering in operating the first‐class boutique hotel on
Parcel 8. John Notter built and operates the Westlake Village Inn, a AAA Four Diamond property and
luxury hotel, specializing in weddings, conferences, and corporate events and part of a master planned
site built and operated by Notter called the Village at Westlake Village Inn with hotel, restaurants, a
night club, and on site winery. With its private vineyard, romantic gardens, and lakeside setting, the 141
suite Inn is a prominent wedding location.
Dieter Huckestein served as chairman of global, luxury brand Conrad Hotels as well as President of
Hilton Global Alliances, in addition to a laundry list of first‐class operations. Most recently Dieter
Huckestein formed Clarismo Partners and is currently constructing a Four Star, 200 suite full‐service
hotel in Montana.
Please see further detail on the impressive portfolios and histories of these operators in their Team Bios.
In addition, based on the desires of several Commissioners as well as the Coastal requirement for
affordable on any hotel, we are proposing to build and operate a 38 bed boutique hostel on a small
portion of parking area between Island Packers and The Stonehaus. We will process the hostel in
conjunction with Parcel 8 boutique hotel as one application concurrently with the City of Ventura and
Coastal Commission. If in the event the Harbor Commission decides that they do not want the hostel,
that will be fine and can be eliminated from the hotel application and we will proceed with the boutique
hotel as designed.
ATTACHMENT 2 225
Parcel 5:
This development will consist of a year round, seven day a week fish market and farmers’ market
supplied by various local fisherman and farmers. Certain suppliers will want their own name and brand
within the multiple retail stands under roof while others will supply a consolidated presentation run by a
constant retailer operator. The concept is similar to Pike Place Market in Seattle, Original Farmers
Market in Los Angeles, and Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. Small counter service cafes as well as
other merchandise such as flowers, candy, and other locally produced goods would also be available.
The second floor will consist of two or more restaurants with large outdoor decks and each would have
a different but complimentary live entertainment and themes. Current interested tenants, with
provided letters of support and interest, include an intimate jazz restaurant, Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill &
Jazz in Bel Air, a restaurant group with an array of successful restaurant/bars such as Rock & Reillys,
Pearl’s, and Serafina, and separately, Shad Davis, a renowned chef and restaurateur who has designed,
opened, managed, or been head chef with over 40 restaurants in Los Angeles. Shad Davis is proposing
his successful Federal Bar, a speakeasy gastro pub with mixology drink program and modern American
comfort fare, as an upscale venue for one of the restaurants on Parcel 5.
Separately we propose a second adjacent building that will be a combination of two highly successful
businesses from Village at Westlake Village Inn ‐ Stonehaus and an upstairs Bogies. The outdoor
oriented design of Stonehaus and intimate outdoor lounge decks of Bogies will capitalize on the views
and ambiance of the marina and ocean.
Additionally, the Developer is updating the frontage of the outside walking deck to modernize the
pathway, add color and texture, and include pop outs along the walkway and outdoor seating.
Expanding the footprint to accommodate the uses proposed will allow the ability to create more
connectivity and a promenade, as well as patio uses along the Harbor. This feature will be an amenity to
the entire harbor and will provide an upgrade of the infrastructure and facilities to achieve the Harbor’s
goal of a modernized and efficient harbor.
The Development Program truly captures the vision and the goal of the RFP – to create a rewarding and
vibrant coastal marine experience to residents and visitors.

Honorable Commissioners:
We appreciate this opportunity to respond in greater detail to some of the questions and comments
generated by our presentation on April 26th.
As you observed, our proposal continues to evolve. As we have frequently stated, these advancements
do more than bring enhancements and improvements to our proposed projects. They reflect our team’s
on-going commitment and willingness to work with your Commission – to ensure that what we build are
the highest and best uses for Sites Five and Eight, and that they serve as a catalyst for continued private
investments in the Ventura Harbor.
Below are some of the questions and comments we received, along with our responses:
1. What about parking? How can you provide enough parking for what you have proposed?
We commit to providing more than sufficient parking necessary to serve our designs and site plans,
at our cost, as well as to create more parking within the harbor, to properly park all of our uses and
not have any impact on existing tenants. We will work with staff and your parking consultants to
implement a plan that satisfies the needs of our uses while accomplishing the goals of the harbor.
The quickest way to further answer this question is to refer you to the attached letter from Scott
Schell at ATE, as well as the previous report and studies they conducted that were a part of our
March 3rd submittal package.
As you know, ATE is the firm that conducted the studies, and crafted the strategy and plan, to
address the long term parking needs for the Ventura Harbor. Scott Schell’s letter says it succinctly:
“The analysis demonstrates that sufficient parking will be provided for the two projects, providing
100 surplus spaces for other tenants in the Harbor Village area.”
ATTACHMENT 2 287
From the beginning of this process, we were aware of the parking challenges that the harbor faces
during certain times of the week or during special events, and of your Commission’s desire to ensure
that new development does not negatively impact parking availability for current businesses and
tenants. We will not only build additional parking on site for our tenants, we will provide the funding
and serve as a partner to your Commission and staff, to implement many of the elements of your
long-term parking strategy and plan, including:
• The restriping of existing parking lots. This realignment, again as conceived and
confirmed by ATE, provides 50-100 new parking stalls;
• Shifting from parallel parking to angled parking, in conjunction with a
reconfiguration of the existing median, provides 170 new parking stalls;
• Paving other Harbor District vacant lots;
• Obtaining agreements to use the various private properties and parking lots for a
fee when event are held;
• Conducting additional peak use parking studies
• The provision of forty (40) additional new parking stalls on the National Park Service
property; and,
• The relocation of the cul de sac that serves Site Eight and the National Park Service
property to provide additional parking and create a more walkable environment.
For your convenience, we have attached a copy of ATE’s complete parking analysis and plan that
was part of our submittal dated March 3, 2017.
2. Won’t your restaurants and cafes take business away from existing tenants?
No, the correct response is just the opposite. We have attached a letter from the market research
firm, The Siracusa Company, to validate that statement. Our uses, tenants, and events will bring in
more visitors to the harbor that will represent a wider demographic of people with more disposable
income. Additionally, we will serve to establish the harbor as a destination for residents of the local
neighborhoods, and the greater community, seven days a week.
As several members of our team live locally and frequent the restaurants and businesses in the
harbor, we were aware of and made a concerted practice of studying the current tenant mix. We
took time and care in choosing the commercial uses and crafting a balanced mix within our proposal
for Site Five. What restaurants in the harbor are like Herb Alpert’s Vibrato and John Notter’s
Stonehaus? Vibrato’s concept is a sit-down steakhouse with six nights a week of highly skilled
singers and jazz players. Vibrato’s food parallels restaurants like the Ruth Chris and Fleming’s Steak
Houses, but with the added value of live entertainment throughout the week. Stonehaus pulls a
crowd of diverse groupings all through the day – breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after-dinner. Bringing
many appealing elements together, Stonehaus has a wine bar, coffee house, fresh bakery, and a
variety of menu items such as cheese plates and charcuterie that are served throughout the day and
evening and promote a social and communal atmosphere – all with live music performers in the
background.
We have also remained open with our concepts for the cafes that will locate in the proximity to the
Farmer’s Market. As noted in our proposal, our plan is to reach out to the existing businesses, not
ATTACHMENT 2 288
only to identify concepts that are not currently part of the current mix, but also to explore how we
can bring greater value to their existing operation.
Auto dealers prefer to locate in proximity to one another. Equally, there are strong reasons why
restaurants cluster, and why areas that serve as successful destinations for entertainment and
dining (the Collection in Oxnard), offer many dining options, with concepts and price points that
differ and appeal to a broad demographic.
The continued growth and evolution of The Collection has had a major impact on Downtown
Ventura. The Collection regularly rolls out new restaurants and businesses that add energy and
vitality to the existing center. This dynamic also sparks consumer interest and spending. If one of the
economic strategies and goals of the harbor is to become a destination for dining and
entertainment, it will not meet that goal by restricting the number or quality, breadth of concepts,
and diversity of price points, of the restaurants that hope to locate there.
3. Rather than serve as a catalyst to support future investment, I’m concerned that too much
development will change the character of the harbor, particularly the proposed commercial
center on Site Five.
Clearly the addition of a high-end boutique hotel, and a restaurant featuring a celebrity chef, on Site
Eight will alter the visual nature of development in the harbor, and serve to attract a demographic
not part of the current visitor mix. As for the commercial center on Site Five, we would present that
a beautifully designed thriving new commercial center with a diversity of uses, not a duplication of
uses, will only serve as an example to the development and business communities that additional
private ventures in Ventura Harbor represents a sound financial venture.
4. Won’t the Commercial project on Site Five conflict with the Hostel? Also, I am concerned that
your proposed location for the Hostel destroys existing parking.
Each of our proposed projects is designed for the best use for that site and operates independently.
However, we see great synergy in the locations and uses that we proposed. The guests of the hostel
– visitors to the Channel Islands, bicyclists, surfers, etc – can enjoy further delving into Ventura
culture via the Fish and Farmer’s Market, as well as stock up on snacks and food items.
Our team worked with staff over the course of this process and was asked several times by staff if
we were open to developing only one site, could we proceed if we were not chosen as the operator
of the hotel on Site Eight? Our response has always been yes.
Based on the prospect of a potential need to focus on one site, or both sites with the Commission’s
desire for a hotel, we asked staff if they would consider allowing a hostel location in proximity to
Site Five ̶ a location that connected the village to Island Packers and that still featured and allowed
for the highest best use represented by our commercial center. Staff’s only comment was to
ensure that parking was satisfied. We again draw your attention to the letter from Scott Schell from
ATE as well as ATE’s parking study. This study clearly demonstrates that we can provide the parking
necessary to support the hostel as well as the commercial center ̶ a win win for the harbor and the
community.
ATTACHMENT 2 289
5. I’m confused about who are will operate the hotel and the businesses. Who will I contact if I
need to speak to the owners?
The Ashkar family will maintain ownership of the hotel. Dieter Huckestein and his Clarismo
Partners, along with John Notter and his Westlake Properties Inc, will operate the hotel under a joint
venture agreement. Mr. Huckestein worked for Hilton Hotels for over thirty years, and served as
President of Hilton International which oversees Hilton’s high-end boutique brands. Mr. Notter
operates the Westlake Inn, Stonehaus, Bogies, and Mediterraneo. He was on the Board of Directors
of Hilton Hotels, and is currently Chairs the Hilton Foundation.
As for Site Five, the Commercial Center will operate under the oversight of Pacific Heritage and the
Ashkar family. The Ashkar family builds with a strategy of long term vision and generational hold.
They do not develop properties to sell to other operators. With over thirty five years of developing
in the City of Ventura, the Ashkars maintain and operate projects and properties and play an active
role in the communities that they are a part of. Pacific Heritage will be accessible to all of the
existing tenants of the harbor, and willing to explore ways to partner that further everyone’s goal of
operating thriving businesses.
6. A conference center and community meeting rooms are not compatible with a high-end
boutique hotel.
We strongly take issue with the idea that a conference center will create an environment that will
negatively impact the higher demographic visitor base that will frequent the hotel. There are design
solutions to a site plan that allows the conference center and the meeting rooms to function
without infringing upon the boutique hotel experience. Given the lack of meeting spaces in the City
of Ventura, offering a conference center and meeting rooms to the community will only serve as a
draw for local residents.
From the onset of this process, our team met with officials of the National Park Service to explore
ways that our project can assist them in realizing their vision for Ventura Harbor. If their vision is to
be realized, the hotel needs to operate and function in partnership with their facility and bolster
their abilities to provide programming and outreach opportunities. The meeting spaces, both
formally indoors and more relaxed outdoors, as well as the fluid transition between the two, creates
immense opportunity to host a wide range of events that provide benefit to the Harbor, City, local
community, professionals, educators, and a variety of social uses.
7. Additional Comments:
• As outlined in our previous submittals, we will provide a fair share of funding for the Harbor
Water Taxi that will serve both Sites Five and Eight;
• We will assist in funding upgrades to the entrance to the harbor, or any other
marketing/infrastructure improvements as part of our continuing partnership with your
Commission.
ATTACHMENT 2 290
We strongly believe that our proposals for Sites Five and Eight will assist your Commission in realizing
many of your goals for the Harbor ̶ the highest best use for new development and use, and the choice
of additions that provide the greatest economic benefit and the greatest benefit to the local community.
This is an amazing opportunity to take a huge step in setting the foundation for the harbor of the future.
(Please note the attached letter from the Market Research firm, The Siracusa Company.)
Additionally, our proposal provides a methodology to allow your Commission to choose the highest best
uses for both sites:
– A high-end hotel for site eight;
– A hostel in proximity to Site Five that meets the affordability needs for the hotel on Site
Eight, and a better connection to Island Packers, and
– A thriving commercial center that upgrades the boardwalk, and provides a mix of uses that
will draw residents of the harbor, as well as from the greater Ventura Community, seven
days a week ̶ day and night.
– Our team has decades of experience ̶understanding state coastal and local policies and in
obtaining approvals and permits. We have already had active engagement and meetings
with Coastal Commission staff on the need to respect the existing dune features on Site
Eight, the need to provide view corridors that from the public realm, and for boaters
entering the harbor. Our design has been driven by and reflects these conversations.
In meetings with staff, they asked if chosen for a site, would the economics/return on investment allow
us to proceed with developing only one site. Our response was “yes.” As a result we had additional
meetings with staff to explore their openness to locating the hostel off of Site Five ̶ to a location
logistically appropriate – near Island Packers. There is no reason to limit investment in your Harbor by
allowing Site Five to be used solely as a location for a hostel.
We believe we have presented your Commission with the best designs, concepts, consulting team, and
operators, for both parcels. However, in the event that your Commission should decide that it is in the
long term interest of the harbor to choose the Parker Groups for the hotel, but understand the value of
what we have proposed for Site Five, with your direction, we offer to meet with representatives of the
Parker Group to cooperatively move forward with our Site Five proposal.
In closing, we want to again thank you for the opportunity to provide more information about our
proposed projects. If you or your staff have any questions or require any additional information, please
do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Mr. John Ashkar
Pacific Heritage Communities

PROJECT SPECIFIC FEEDBACK REQUESTED by VENTURA PORT DISTRICT
The information provided below is intended to supplement the project information provided to
the Port District in our comprehensive project submission package dated August 11, 2016 as well
as the additional project inputs we provided to the District and the Port Commissioners in our
public presentation on November 9, 2016. Our responses below conform to the sequence of
questions and informational requests set forth in the letter we received from the Port District
dated December 19th.
Parcel 5
The hybrid hostel concept we envision for Parcel 5 is intended to provide a quality but affordably
priced lodging option currently not available at the Harbor. Given its status as the portal to
Channel Islands National Park, Ventura Harbor attracts a large youthful and active adult
demographic, which is the hostel’s target market. This outdoor adventure orientation explains
why we have christened this property, Harbor Adventure Lodge & Hostel. Designed and
operated to provide a fun, informal beach “vibe” experience along with delivering its welcoming
affordability, this property expands the lodging “bandwidth” on Port lands. Consistent with our
earlier inputs, this confirms that the completed property would be operated by H. Parker
Hospitality, the experienced property and asset management firm that would also provide the
synergistic management of the boutique hotel it proposes developing on nearby Parcel 8.
ATTACHMENT 3 312
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 2 of 15
Through continued planning efforts for Parcel 5, we have been able to increase the lodging room
count from thirty (30) to forty (40) rooms to better accommodate the unmet needs for this type of
property (i.e. currently there are no hostel properties in Ventura), this to the economic benefit of
the Port District. Of the forty rooms, twelve will be shared hostel styled rooms with bunk beds.
This increase in room count has been supplemented by additional guest amenities. As depicted
on the enclosed architectural drawing, we have added a private outdoor terrace overlooking the
public pocket park that has a Jacuzzi tub and outdoor barbeque for the exclusive use of hostel
guests. These additional enhancements to the guest experience would complement the existing
amenity offering which includes an inviting living room featuring a fireplace, communal kitchen
(with well stocked quality cookware, tableware, and beverages), and adjacent dining room
featuring a long communal table, along with a guest laundry. Further, we are proposing the
inclusion of a fire pit in the adjacent pocket park to further extend its public utility into nighttime
hours.
Mindful of parking issues in and around the Harbor Village complex, we have accommodated
these building improvements all within the confines of the existing lawn area at Parcel 5. As
previously communicated to the Port District, we reiterate the mutual economic benefit of
expanding the development footprint of the Harbor Adventure Lodge & Hostel to expand beyond
the confines of the lawn area. However, until such time as the Port District formally proposes
such a course, we continue to restrict all Parcel 5 improvements to the lawn.
As communicated to the Port District and as discussed on our recent tour of the Wayfarer with
Port District management, this hybrid hostel property draws programmatic inspiration from that
Santa Barbara hostel, which the Parker family originally developed. Like the Wayfarer, this
property features a mix of private and shared rooms, with all guest rooms having a full bathroom
for guest comfort and convenience. The comfortable but compact rooms reflect the fact that
outdoor oriented hostel guests don’t tend to spend much time in their rooms. Of the overall room
count of forty, there are twelve shared rooms and twenty-eight private rooms. The shared rooms
total 400 square feet and feature four or five beds (at least two bunk beds per room).
Operationally, the shared room use is reserved for the same gender unless all the occupants are
part of the same family unit. The private rooms total 375 square feet and can sleep three,
through fit out with a king or queen bed and pull-down Murphy bed.
Given the increased size of the Harbor Adventure Lodge & Hostel, we have updated our
operating cash flow analysis, which show enhanced financial returns to the Port District. These
favorable economics are based on lodging rates ranging from $45.00 per night for a bed in a
shared room to $165.00 per night for a private room, for an overall ADR (i.e. average daily rate)
of $145 for the 40 guest rooms.
In terms of management philosophy and day-to-day approach to effectively market the
completed property, maximize the quality of the guest experience, and successfully integrate the
property into the fabric of the existing commercial neighborhood at the Port, H. Parker
Hospitality’s holistic and hands-on approach to management of its individual properties, not to
mention its long-term ownership perspective, insure that the property achieves its potential as
ATTACHMENT 3 313
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 3 of 15
measured by the metrics of financial performance, sustainable building quality, guest
satisfaction, and realization of its civic commitment to the local community. The “best
practices” the firm successfully employs to deliver on its promises include a warm and safe
environment for couples, friends and single travelers; shared gathering spaces; lite fare food and
beverages; complimentary wifi; transportation to public transit; bike rentals; on-site laundry; and
storage for extra luggage and supplies when guests are out camping on the islands. Recognizing
the popularity of hostel lodging overseas, we would buttress our multi-faceted sales and
marketing program through affiliations and collaborations with established and internationally
recognized trade and marketing organizations such as Hostelling International, to maximize the
property’s international visibility.
Parcel 8
Food & beverage program:
Foundational to the Harbor Cove Inn (working title for ease of reference), the family-oriented
boutique hotel we are proposing for Parcel 8, is its connectivity to the popular Harbor Cove
beach or what we often hear referred to as “Mom’s Beach”. Although the other two
development proposals we have reviewed for this parcel as part of this RFP process effectively
“turned their backs” on this popular family-centric beach destination and created an impregnable
building wall, ours is the singular design concept that embraces the public beach and treats that
side of the hotel as a welcoming pedestrian front door for beachgoers to enjoy the amenities of
the hotel, none the least of which are its varied food and beverage (“F&B”) and inviting live
music offerings. We also envision a designated boardwalk meandering through the adjacent
sand dune to further the public integration with and access to the hotel as it would provide direct
access from the Harbor Cove parking lot.
Given this family orientation and mindful of its dramatic coastal setting, the boutique hotel on
Parcel 8 is positioned to offer an air of informality perhaps best characterized as a “laid back
beach vibe”. Think faded Aloha shirts and flip flops, with this thematic narrative infusing the
two on-site F&B venues. Located off the hotel lobby and overlooking the expansive outdoor
terrace, the hotel’s signature refined casual dining restaurant with indoor seating capacity for 80
would feature an approachable menu by Executive Chef John Cox. As mentioned when he was
introduced at the November 9th public meeting of the Port Commissioners, John was until
recently the executive chef at the acclaimed Sierra Mar restaurant at the renowned Post Ranch
Inn in Big Sur and will manage the Parker’s new Bear and Star restaurant in Los Olivos.
Located just steps from Mom’s Beach, the south end of the hotel is anchored by a large dining
terrace that enjoys great views and beach access. It will provide sunny seating for the hotel’s
beachfront restaurant and bar that features an approachable chef defined but upscale menu. In
addition, the newly designed Beach Café’s exterior counter will allow hotel guests and
beachgoers the opportunity to pick up their orders without having to traipse through the hotel.
Beach Café patrons can either sit on the flanking picnic tables, or walk back to where they were
sitting on the adjacent beach to enjoy their to-go food. The terrace has been oversized to not
only accommodate ocean view and sunset seating but to also provide space for musicians as we
ATTACHMENT 3 314
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 4 of 15
envision live music helping to contribute to making this a very lively and popular F&B scene for
tourists and locals alike.
Events Barn:
Given the family orientation and romance of the Harbor Cove Inn, the hotel would not market to
the business meeting/conference trade as it is not conducive to or necessary for the hotel’s
financial sustainability given its relatively small size. This market is best served by existing
lodging properties at the Port or elsewhere in the City of Ventura. As such, traditional meeting
or conference rooms are not included into the building program for the Harbor Cove Inn. Rather,
we have included an “Events Barn”, which is designed with maximum use flexibility in mind to
accommodate any number of programmed activities that enhance the guest experience (e.g.
Kid’s Camp, cooking classes, movie nights, etc.) and provide a venue for private (e.g. weddings)
and public (e.g. naturalist lectures by the National Park Service, wine tastings by prominent
Central Coast vintners, etc.) events. We have been encouraged by the positive response we have
received from Park Service management to utilize the Events Barn for public lectures and
presentations on the sea life, flora, and fauna of Channel Islands National Park.
The Event Barn’s high bay space (+/- 16 feet) would approximate 1,600 square feet and have a
maximum capacity for 100 people. In addition, it would also have an expansive storage room to
allow for a variety of room set-up configurations. An attached catering kitchen would provide
the necessary F&B infrastructure to support wedding reception and like-kind requirements. The
Barn also has its own bank of bathrooms.
The large sliding glass pocket doors on the west side of the Events Barn would open up onto an
expansive wind-protected Events Lawn. This lawn area has a maximum capacity of 100.
Programmatically, there would never be events held on the lawn and inside the barn
simultaneously as they are too integrated to allow for that. As well, the catering kitchen is not
ATTACHMENT 3 315
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 5 of 15
sized to support multiple events. Rather, the determination as to whether an event will be held
inside or outside on the lawn will often be predicated on weather conditions. That said the
outdoor venue does provide some programming opportunities not available indoors. For
example, we envision collaborating with a local astronomy club to set up telescopes and provide
public celestial viewings, or having a “Symphony under the stars” program.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION and QUESTIONS
1. Third party tenants and operators. H. Parker Hospitality and its experienced and
multi-disciplined management team would be responsible for all facets of the operations
and management of the Harbor Adventure Lodge & Hostel proposed for Parcel 5 and the
Harbor Cove Inn on Parcel 8.
2. Current development team members. To date, we have engaged several very
experienced third party consultants whom are very well respected in the resort lodging
industry as initial project team members to collaborate with and assist H. Parker
Hospitality through the Port District’s comprehensive RFP evaluation process. Because
of the obvious scope and complexity associated with the thoughtful and quality
development of Parcel 5 and 8, these initial team members will, of course, be
supplemented by other best-in-class consultants from various disciplines should we be
selected to move forward with our initiative to help the Port District achieve its economic
development, vitality, and diversity objectives.

3. Attracting locals to the Harbor. Given the often stated concerns of the Port District
regarding parking capacity issues in the Harbor Village area, we have stipulated to our
design team from the outset that our development program for Parcel 5 be confined to the
existing lawn area. As reconfigured herein to increase the room count of the Harbor
Adventure Lodge & Hostel to forty, this expanded building still respects the above
ATTACHMENT 3 317
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 7 of 15
demarcation. That said, we have maintained the public pocket park that is part of our
proposed development program as it would be a welcome destination for visitors to the
adjacent Harbor Village complex (e.g. a nice place for families to eat their ice cream
cones purchased there) and those strolling along the boardwalk. We have further refined
the program for this welcoming public space with the inclusion of a fire pit to enhance its
utility during evening hours.
The more expansive program for the larger Parcel 8 lot provides a number of meaningful
opportunities to engage with locals and make the hotel a favored destination for them as
well as out-of-town visitors to the Port. The inviting beachside café/bar with its
energizing live music should be popular with locals and certainly will offer a convenient
F&B destination now lacking at Harbor Cove (i.e. beachgoers won’t have to traverse a
packed parking lot and cross busy Spinnaker Drive to get food and beverages). The
adjacent public boardwalk encircling the hotel on the water side will provide a pleasant
strolling environment featuring great views. Further, the quality and approachable menu
of the hotel’s signature restaurant should also prove popular with locals. In that the
Harbor Cove Inn will be the highest quality lodging property in the City, we believe that
many locals will adopt the hotel as their favored lodging recommendation thus bringing
them to the property even more frequently.
The Events Barn and adjacent Events Lawn area are designed to host a number of private
and public events. For example, we have already engaged with the Park Service to utilize
the Barn for a public lecture series on the natural wonders of Channel Islands National
Park. This flexible facility will be equally proficient at hosting art shows, live music,
culinary events, and other engaging programs.
In addition to the positive “word of mouth” opportunities the multi-faceted events
programming and distinguished food and beverage offering at the Harbor Cove Inn
provide to attract locals on a sustainable basis, the hotel’s proactive marketing program
will also target the local community. We would have a print presence in The Breeze, the
popular local bi-weekly newspaper, along with meaningful placements in the Ventura
County Star. The Log, a popular website for the recreational boat owner community
offers another useful platform to market the hotel activities and amenities to local boat
owners.
As is typical, the H. Parker Hospitality team looks forward to its active engagement with
the community and through these affiliations effectively establish meaningful and
sustainable connections with locals so they are kept fully apprised of the hotel’s localsoriented
event offerings. Toward this end we have already reached out and begun a
dialogue with the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors and Convention Bureau to
discuss how best to collaborate to the benefit of the entire community. Further, we
appreciate the synergistic opportunity to collaborate with other prominent Port tenants
and property owners (e.g. Island Packers, Brophy Brothers, National Park Service) to
develop a Port-wide events program that serves to further the popularity of the Harbor to
locals and visitors alike. Our excitement over the “big tent” opportunities these
ATTACHMENT 3 318
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 8 of 15
collaborations can create to further the objectives of the City and Port District have been
reinforced by the initial inputs we have received from the Visitor’s Bureau, Island
Packers, National Park Service, and the Chamber.
4. Community outreach. Given the firm’s long-term ownership perspective (e.g. the
Parker family has owned the Fess Parker Doubletree Hotel on the Santa Barbara
waterfront since 1986 and the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn in Los Olivos almost 20
years), H. Parker Hospitality is very focused on establishing and sustaining substantive
relationships with all project stakeholders. Our public outreach efforts are predicated
upon our commitment to shared respect and full transparency.
The conceptual design for our proposed Port projects have been informed by the inputs
we have solicited and received from project stakeholders such as the National Park
Service and the City of Ventura. If we are successful in being selected by the Port
District to execute our business plan for Parcel 5 and 8 we would, as is typical to our
approach to community engagement, host a series of well publicized open houses and
workshops to more fully introduce our planning concepts and obtain the benefit of local
stakeholder inputs. These events would target the Keys community, Pierpont
neighborhood, Port business owners, the Chamber of Commerce, Visitors and
Convention Bureau, and other important constituencies within the community. Although
not statutorily required, this proactive public outreach effort serves to create a solid basis
for open and timely dialogue between all project stakeholders and, by design, predates
any public hearings mandated through the entitlement process.
5. Musical venue on Parcel 8. As mentioned in item no. 3 above, we believe the Harbor
Cove Inn is best positioned to draw locals on a sustainable basis by way of its varied
F&B offering and wide ranging events programming, which includes multiple venues for
live music that include the outdoor terrace and beach, Events Barn, and Events Lawn.
Given its family orientation and consistent with its informal beach lifestyle character, we
believe a night time only venue exclusively focused on one musical idiom (e.g. jazz) does
not provide the breadth of opportunities that our more varied program does. Having a
jazz only club renders academic the introduction of other genres (e.g. folk, country
western, classical) thus limiting the entertainment options for locals. Rather our diverse
live music program will be much more expansive than a night time adult oriented club.
On the expansive outdoor terrace overlooking Mom’s Beach we will offer “concerts in
the sand” which will feature a wide range of live music from the sounds of Jimmy Buffett
to calypso to jazz to folk. There will be no charge to sit on the terrace or in the flanking
beach chairs in the sand to enjoy the music under the sun. This live music venue will be
utilized during the sunset and evening hours as well. By offering multiple live music
venues with a wide ranging choice of musical genres, we submit that the Harbor Cove
Inn is well positioned to be a popular destination of choice for locals.

6. Integration with the existing tenant mix. The programs for the Harbor Adventure
Lodge & Hostel and Harbor Cove Inn have been crafted to complement the businesses of
existing Port tenants and create lively synergies with them.
The target market of the Adventure Lodge is the active, outdoor enthusiast demographic
which will be drawn to the Harbor given it’s the portal to Channel Islands National Park.
This guest profile will provide Island Packers, the Port’s scuba dive operators, and other
outdoor recreation vendors with significant new business opportunities. The youthful,
family-oriented guest demographic at the Harbor Cove Inn will also drive business to
these existing Port tenants.
With respect to generating additional business for Port tenants, particularly at Harbor
Village, the fact that the Adventure Lodge has no on-site restaurant directly accrues to the
benefit of restaurants such as Andria’s, Boatyard Café, Brophy Brothers, and other
nearby F&B establishments. The strategically located public park on the south side of
the Adventure Lodge will further benefit the guest experience at Harbor Village such as
providing families with a pleasant place to enjoy their ice cream from Coastal Cone. We
also envision that this landscaped waterfront park could provide special “pop-up” F&B
opportunities for Harbor Village restaurants (e.g. “Shrimp on the Barbie & wine
pairing”). Its immediate adjacency and flexible design provides this public space with a
lot of utility for visitors to, customers of, and employees working at Harbor Village.

Down the street at the Harbor Cove Inn, the varied events and live music program will
attract more locals and visitors to the Port to the benefit of its existing tenant base as
activity begets activity. The hotel’s sunny beachside café/bar and live music venue will
provide a very convenient casual eating option for beachgoers as they will not have to
traipse through a crowed parking lot and cross busy Spinnaker Drive as they do now.
The free “Concerts in the Sand” should also draw beachgoers over to the hotel and prove
to be a popular destination for locals.
As mentioned, we have engaged with the National Park Service (“NPS”) whose inputs
have informed our conceptual design and operational planning for the Harbor Cove Inn.
Building placement and massing have been strategically located and modulated to respect
the sightlines from the NPS’s observation tower. In our preliminary discussions with
NPS management, we have discussed providing parking in the hotel parking facility for
guests to the Visitor’s Center given we have identified some on-site overcapacity. The
Park Service has expressed interest in utilizing the hotel’s Events Barn for public
lectures/presentations on the flora, fauna, and biodiversity of Channel Islands National
Park. Given the long-term ownership perspective of H. Parker Hospitality, we certainly
look forward to building a strong lasting relationship with the NPS with the objective of
helping it achieve its mission of increasing visitations to the Port and Channel Islands
National Park by the local community and the travelling public.
7. Updated parking plan. We have updated our parking plan to reflect recent refinements
to our development program for Parcel 5 and 8. Our parking strategy has been informed
by the productive inputs we received from the City’s Community Development
Department and the expertise of our parking consultant, LSA Associates.
In our initial submittal to the Port District the affordably priced hostel on Parcel 5 totaled
30 rooms. To the financial benefit of the Port District, we have increased the room count
to 40. Unless directed by the Port District to expand the development “footprint” beyond
the lawn we continue to confine all building improvements to the existing lawn area. Per
City code, the parking required to support the current program for the Adventure Lodge
totals 40 cars. Although parking capacity for the Adventure Lodge aligns with the City
requirements for lodging uses, we mention here that guests of hostel properties are often
less reliant on the private vehicle than those staying at more conventional hotels. A good
number of hostel guests arrive in a community by bus or train, while others often travel in
larger groups such that the number of guests per private vehicle can be a substantively
higher percentage than at more traditional lodging properties.
As depicted on the enclosed new site plan for Parcel 5, we accommodate 23 cars on-site
in a row of surface stalls located on the west side of the Adventure Lodge. The required
balance of 17 cars is accommodated in the Parcel 8 parking facility with these vehicles
parked and retrieved on demand by valet attendants. Consistent with City parking
regulations the provision of off-site parking on Parcel 8 would be memorialized as a
covenant on Parcel 8 for the benefit of Parcel 5 in a form (e.g. easement, lease, etc.)
acceptable to the City of Ventura.
ATTACHMENT 3 321
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 11 of 15
At the Harbor Cove Inn the majority of required parking is accommodated in a lowprofile
two-level parking structure (with one level below grade) located on the east side
of Parcel 8. The capacity in this structure is supplemented by a modest number of
surface stalls. Overall, on-site parking capacity on Parcel 8 totals 130 spaces. Along
with the 23 stalls at the Adventure Lodge the combined properties provide parking for
153 cars. On the accompanying spreadsheet prepared by our parking consultant, LSA
Associates, the overall requirements for the Adventure Lodge and Parcel 8 hotel are set
forth in Table A by designated land-use. The combined lodging room total of 104
generates a requirement for 104 spaces. We have quantified how this parking sub-total is
supplemented by City requirements associated with restaurant uses and events space (i.e.
the “Events Barn”) within the hotel complex.
City parking regulations don’t address the realities of shared parking uses in multipurpose
buildings (e.g. hotel guests getting married in the Events Barn, dining on-site in
the hotel restaurant, etc.). That said, the logic and viability of employing a shared
parking program was recently discussed with and conceptually agreed to in a productive
planning session with City staff. The periodic use of the Events Barn for special events
and programs does impact required parking capacities and generates a slight capacity
issue totaling a maximum of 23 vehicles. As mentioned above, the Events Barn has a
maximum capacity of 100. Our 10-year operating cash flow model (a copy of which has
previously been provided to the Port District) includes F&B and catering revenues that
are based upon our carefully analyzed projections regarding events programming. We
are forecasting 6 events (e.g. wedding, reception, dinner, live music, etc.) per month from
May through October. The total would decrease to 4 per month in the months of
November and December then drop down to 3 per month for the months of January
through April.
As noted, the Events Barn and adjacent Events Lawn will never hold simultaneous events
given staffing, catering kitchen, and other operational constraints. Although both venues
have a maximum capacity of 100, we are forecasting these special events will range in
size from 50 to 100 guests, with many attendees staying at the hotel. Based upon our
operating experience, we would anticipate that these events would generate less parking
demand than code requires and approximate 20-25 cars per event.
Although code requirements exceed overall parking capacities on Parcel 5 and Parcel 8
by 23 vehicles, we note here that parking demand is not static. Rather, it fluctuates
throughout the day as noted on Table B and C on the attached parking demand
spreadsheet prepared by LSA Associates. Our parking consultant utilized proven
operating metrics and data from the Urban Land Institute (“ULI”) relative to shared
parking Time-of-Day Factors. As noted, weekday capacity is insufficient for only 3
hours starting at 7:00PM and ending at 10:00PM. On weekends, this same circumstance
occurs between the same timeframe. Conversely, our proposed parking program
provides significantly more capacity than will be generated by on-site demand during
prime beach going hours, particularly when there are no events being staged in the Events
ATTACHMENT 3 322
Parcel 5 and 8 – supplemental information package
March 2, 2017
Page 12 of 15
Barn or adjacent lawn. Given the periodic nature of special events, the typical
overcapacity of parking between 6:00Am and 9:00PM on weekdays and weekends
available for the use by the National Park Service, beachgoers, and/or Port District
tenants will range from 48-79 cars. This significant excess capacity available for use by
third parties totals 31% – 52% of our proposed overall parking capacity.
We are endeavoring to take advantage of the favorable capacity circumstances during
prime beach going hours as evidenced by our preliminary discussions with the NPS to
allow its visitors to park at our hotel. This would result in the better utilization of the
proposed Parcel 8 parking facility as the operating hours of the NPS Visitors Center don’t
conflict with the above referenced evening hours when the hotel’s parking capacity gets
taxed (from a code perspective) when a special event is being held.
We reiterate our strong advocacy of a robust water taxi service that can knit together the
entire Harbor to make its multiple destinations more accessible to locals and out-of-town
visitors with less reliance on the private vehicle. We envision the public boardwalk along
the waterfront on Parcel 8 connecting to a water taxi station. We submit that a well
operated and appropriately scheduled water taxi service would serve to mitigate traffic
and parking impacts in the Harbor, particularly on its west side. Why drive from the
Sondermann Ring apartment complex to Harbor Village or the Harbor Cove Inn to
recreate when you can hop on a water taxi? A water taxi network would most probably
allow for viable satellite parking areas to be established on the periphery of the Port
District that would be conveniently located to the multiple water taxi stations/docks.
To the extent that an evening event at the Events Barn triggers a capacity issue (that
could total a maximum of 23 cars), we would suggest the suitability of either the adjacent
Harbor Cove parking lot, which is largely empty at night, or use of the nearby Ventura
West Marina II parking lot, which as referenced in the Parking Management Plan for the
Ventura Harbor dated January 18, 2017 and prepared for the Port District by Associated
Transportation Engineers is very underutilized (i.e. less than 50% occupancy) to satisfy
this periodic and short-term parking anomaly. The hotel’s use of valet parking attendants
would make these both convenient options. Of course, these periodic use alternatives
would require the necessary approvals from the respective landowners.

8. Entitlement strategy and project schedule. The Parker team members have an
outstanding record of obtaining meaningful entitlements in highly politicized
environments such as coastal California. For example, they have successfully processed
entitlement applications within the Coastal Commission jurisdictional area that include
the 360-room Fess Parker Resort along the waterfront in Santa Barbara; an approved and
soon to be constructed 48-room luxury hotel that also enjoys a Santa Barbara waterfront
location; and a 104-room hotel, the Inn at the Pier, which is currently under construction
at the base of the pier in the seaside town of Pismo Beach.
In that we plan on employing the same holistic and focused approach to seeking project
approvals as was recently applied to achieve the successful entitlement outcome in Pismo
Beach, it is perhaps worth noting that the hotel was approved within seven months of the
first public hearing and was not appealed to or by the Coastal Commission. This
entitlement achievement is highly unusual for large scale oceanfront projects such as the
Inn at the Pier that are located in the so-called coastal zone. Foundational to our
approach to successfully expedite the entitlement process for the proposed lodging
projects on Parcel 5 and 8 is our focus on proactive communication and substantive
engagement with all project stakeholders. This effort encompasses countless one-on-one
meetings and numerous public open houses or workshops to advance the conversation
with the many stakeholders.
Although we have already engaged preliminarily with the National Park Service, several
Port business owners, the City’s Community Development Department team, Chamber
and Visitors Bureau leadership, and several other community stakeholders, this
determined public outreach effort would “ramp up” immediately upon our selection to
execute our proposed business plan for the two Port development sites. At that time, we
would meet with the Coastal Commission’s Ventura District office team to introduce our
land-use concepts and obtain its guidance. As with the Pismo project, this initial meeting
with the Coastal Commission would be followed up by close communication with the
District office through the entire entitlement process.
To supplement the project team’s significant project experience within the coastal zone,
we have retained the services of David B. Neish and his firm, DBN Planning. Dave has
over 35 years of experience representing hundreds of applicants through the California
Coastal Commission permit process. Cognizant of the fact that both lodging proposals
will necessitate an amendment to the local coastal plan (“LCP”) that encompasses the
Port District, we believe Dave’s proven experience and good working relationships with
the Coastal Commission will help effectively navigate through the process. The LCP
process involves a two step process, with the initial one being approval of the LCP
amendment by the City Council of Ventura. Subsequent to that milestone, the Coastal
Commission acts on the Council’s decision. Based on the recent schedule inputs we
received from the Community Development team enclosed please find our revised
project schedules for the Adventure Lodge & Hostel and Harbor Cove Inn.

In our constructive discussions with the Community Development Department team we
have discussed potential processing strategies encompassing the required LCP
amendments and use permit applications for Parcel 5 and 8. We agreed that more
discussion with City staff is necessary before we mutually settle on a preferred protocol.
That said our current thinking is that it would be counterproductive to pursue approvals
of the LCP amendments (encompassing at least building heights, view corridors, site
coverage, and inclusion of hotels as permitted uses) by the City and State in a vacuum.
Specifically, we see tremendous merit in supplementing our LCP amendment application
with sufficient architectural information (say, 50% Schematic Design) to allow the City,
State, and other stakeholders to fully comprehend how the amendments to Parcel 5 and 6
would physically manifest themselves in the built environment.
During the team’s focused and comprehensive research of the Ventura hospitality sector
it became clear that the local market is in need of a luxury hotel offering and low cost
accommodations. The California Coastal Commission has been evaluating the need for
and the delivery of such low cost accommodations for a number of years. Significantly
with AB2616 going into effect January 1st of this year it will be necessary to meet an
“environmental justice requirement, for projects proposed in coastal areas.” Our
development concepts for Parcel 5 and 8 provide the perfect opportunity to satisfy both of
these unmet lodging market needs in the City of Ventura and satisfy the new regulatory
regimen created by the recent AB2616 legislation.

Addendum
Although outside the scope of your informational request dated December 19th and our related
project specific responses, we have taken the liberty here to share some “out-of-the-box”
thinking with respect to other land-use possibilities in and around the Harbor Village area at the
Port. These creative ideas are meant to stimulate conceptualization and conversation regarding
more robust ways to animate the Port District and enhance its popularity as a recreational and
entertainment destination for locals and the travelling public. The attached concept drawings and
imagery is not in any way intended to supplant our proposal for the exciting Adventure Lodge
that is confined to the existing lawn area on Parcel 5. Until specifically directed otherwise by the
Port District, we will continue to respect the fact that the RFP only addressed the lawn area of
Parcel 5. As such, the ideas and concepts advanced here are totally independent of the
particulars of our concept and proposed development program for the Adventure Lodge as
expressed earlier in this package.
This alternative concept encompasses an area beyond the existing lawn area adjacent to the
Harbor Village complex. It envisions the lawn being re-purposed into a lively multi-use events
plaza that could host a variety of cultural, culinary, and entertainment events. It would be
improved with a combination of hardscaping and landscaped elements but essentially retain its
level configuration for maximum events programming flexibility. Its boardwalk location
overlooking the Harbor would provide a beautiful backdrop reinforcing the attractiveness of the
venue for public and private events. This events plaza would be complemented by a catering
kitchen to effectively support “pop-up” culinary programs and storage facilities.
This expansive events plaza would extend from the boardwalk to the existing north/south drive
aisle that defines the western edge of the existing Parcel 5 lawn. This drive aisle would maintain
vehicular connectivity throughout the Harbor Village parking areas. The existing paved parking
area between this drive aisle and Spinnaker Drive would house the relocated Adventure Lodge
comprised of 40 rooms. By adding synergistic “bandwidth” to the existing Port District lodging
offering and as more fully described elsewhere, re-purposing this existing parking area to
accommodate the Adventure Lodge adds tremendous value to the Port’s efforts to promote
economic development, vitality, and diversity.
Expanding the development footprint beyond the Parcel 5 lawn area certainly allows for more
revitalizing land-use elements to be introduced to the benefit of the Port District. This more
expansive site development concept would remove 69 parking spaces from the Port’s inventory.
Their deletion would be more than offset by the 85 spaces that are gained through the
reconfiguration of Spinnaker Drive to provide angles parking on the roadway as proposed in the
January, 2017 Parking Management Plan for Ventura Harbor prepared for the Port District by
Associated Transportation Engineers. Further, we submit that introduction of a robust water taxi
service that connects the various Port neighborhoods together will serve to decrease traffic
impacts and parking demand, particularly on the west side of the Harbor.
