ATTACHMENT 4
INTERIM PERIOD NAVY PIER PLAN – AMENDED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of: (1) demolition of the head house structure on Navy
Pier; (2) installation of additional public access amenities; (3) reconfigured
parking on Navy Pier and ingress/egress enhancements; and (4) modification
of the parking rates on Navy Pier, as further described below.
The project term, the Port is requesting a total period of four (4) years – the
first one (1) year is estimated time that it will take to receive all necessary
approvals, procurement, and demolition of the head house(i.e. prep period).
During year 1, the prep period, will also allow for modification of the parking
rate ranges for the existing 397 public parking spaces to occur prior to
demolition of the head house. The additional three (3) years following
demolition of the head house would allow for installation of the additional
approximately 151 public parking spaces; during these 3 years, all of the
surface public parking spaces on the pier would be subject to the new
parking rate ranges, thereby allowing the District to raise the funds
necessary to cover demolition of the head house. During this interim fouryear period, one plus three, the District will develop a long-term plan for
Navy Pier.
The project term for this Interim Period Navy Pier Plan would be for a total
period of five (5) years – the first two (2) years would allow for modification
of the parking rate ranges for the existing pier parking spaces to occur prior
to demolition of the head house, and the additional three (3) years following
demolition of the head house would allow for installation of the additional
approximately 151 public parking spaces; during these 3 years, all of the
surface public parking spaces on the pier would be subject to the new
parking rate ranges, thereby allowing the District to raise the funds
necessary to cover demolition of the head house. During this interim fiveyear period, the District will develop a long-term plan for Navy Pier.
(1) Demolition of the head house structure on Navy Pier:
The head house demolition encompasses a total area of approximately
1.1 acres (48,000 SF) of building footprint. The building is currently vacant
except for temporary USS Midway Museum staff and volunteer parking on
the 1st floor level. The first phase of demolition includes abatement of
hazardous materials including asbestos, lead and PCBs. The second phase
demolition includes removal of the head house interior, roof, walls and
foundation system and capping all existing utilities. The second phase will
be sequenced to allow for continued public access to the pier and USS
Midway Museum. A material management and disposal plan will be
developed to minimize the volume of material going to landfill. Work
includes structural infills installed in pier deck openings in the final phase
of demolition. Based on a preliminary schedule, it is anticipated that it will
take approximately 18 months to complete demolition.

 (2) Installation of Additional Public Access Amenities
Upon completion of the head house demolition, the project will install
additional public access amenities to further encourage public access to
and throughout the pier. These include: several pedestrian walkways,
including from the Embarcadero Promenade to the pier entrance along the
southern perimeter of the pier, from the Embarcadero Promenade to the
public viewing area on the east end of the pier, and North/South
pedestrian walkway connections on the pier; site lighting, landscaping,
planter boxes, bicycle racks, and coastal access signage in front of Navy
Pier (east end); new and reconfigured curbs, walks, striping, and coastal
access signage on Navy Pier within the pedestrian walkways; and planter
boxes, benches and bicycle racks on the west end of Navy Pier within a
7,840-square-foot public viewing area. The USS Midway Museum has
already added a modular public restroom facility on the south side of the
pier that is open to the public as an additional amenity.
(3) Reconfigured Parking on Navy Pier and Ingress/Egress Enhancements
Upon completion of the head house demolition, the project will also install
asphalt and concrete pavement to match the existing pier surface and
provide grading for drainage, and will be striped to provide approximately
151 surface public parking spaces within the demolished building
footprint. This new parking will be integrated with the remainder of the
existing surface parking west of the head house footprint, which will be
reconfigured to maximize parking efficiency, improve traffic flow, and
enhance pedestrian/bicyclist access on the pier.
The project will result in a total of approximately 623 surface parking
spaces on the pier, which would consist of approximately 548 public
parking spaces (499 regular parking spaces, 12 ADA parking spaces, and
37 motorcycle parking spaces), 105 Midway employee/docent parking
spaces, and 7 Midway service vehicle parking spaces.
The project also includes realignment of the pier entry and exit driveways
to improve traffic and pedestrian flow and coordinate with the future
North Harbor Drive development. Other improvements include a storm
water drainage system with required retention and filtration installation,
and reconfiguration of existing utilities.
(4) Modification of the Parking Rates on Navy Pier:
The project also includes revising the existing parking rates on Navy Pier
to allow for market-based parking rate ranges for the approximately 397
existing surface public parking spaces (and for the additional
approximately 151 parking spaces that will result from the head house
demolition). The parking rates would be revised to allow the District to
establish market-based parking rate ranges at Navy Pier, which would
allow the parking rates on Navy Pier to be quickly adjusted to better
match parking demand and increase turnover and therefore, increase
public access.
The existing and proposed parking rates are as follows:

* Parking for greater than 7 hours requires payment of the Daily Maximum Rate.
**Overnight parking will be allowed for participants of the Midway Educational Overnight
Program and short-term during times when demand is low and spaces are available.
Note: Motorcycles that park in a designated motorcycle parking space will pay fifty
percent (50%) of the posted rate.

Modification of the parking rate ranges for the approximately 397 existing
surface public parking spaces would occur as soon as practicable
following Coastal Commission issuance of the Coastal Development
Permit for this project, prior to demolition of the head house. Following
demolition of the head house, the additional 151 parking spaces created
within the demolition footprint would be subject to the modified parking
rate ranges.
