DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT 450-50)
Mr. Ron Cano thanked the City Council for the opportunity to share their collective
expertise in preparing this Downtown/Civic Center Master Plan.
As requested by the City, the purpose of the project and report is to complete an Urban
Design and Master Plan of the Downtown/Civic Center Area, with special focus on
Maine Avenue, that will result in identifying and reaching consensus support and
decision making on: 1) pertinent land-use, development, design, and parking and traffic
circulation recommendations; b) a clearly articulated VISION; c) an overall site plan
Conceptual Master Development and Design Plan) for the Project Area with special
focus on Maine Avenue; d) conceptual sketches for suggested appearance for specific
study Items; and e) written design guidelines applicable to future developments, and
which would serve to incorporate into City's Zoning Ordinance.
In preparing this plan, the Project team focused on a number of issues and urban
design elements that included, but not limited to the following: Traffic Circulation;
Parking; Visibility and access to businesses; Public space and gathering places; Access
to public facilities and public transportation; Creation of a Vision that will guide future
development and physical appearance; Business district beautification building facade
and signage); Identification of opportunities to encourage higher and better use of
property; and Establishment of Downtown/Civic Center as a focal point for the
community and a desirable destination for eating, leisure activities, specialty retail and
professional services.
Mr. Cano referred to the retail analysis referred to in Section 5 of the handout entitled.
Baldwin Park Downtown Master Plan September, 2002". He stated that the analysis
is provided to identify retail voids which may be fulfilled in the City and to discuss
implementation and retail development strategies.
Mr. Jack Greenspan of Linscott Law & Greenspan Engineers spoke about the Maine
Avenue Reconfiguration as follows:

Working with the downtown Master Plan Ad Hoc Committee, a series of five alternative
cross'sections were developed for Maine Avenue between Ramona Boulevard and
Clark Street see Figure 1). To relieve the primary point of congestion at Ramona
Boulevard, of the five alternatives, three provide two traffic lanes in the southbound
direction. Alternative A, Alternative B. and Alternative C provide only one traffic lane in
the northbound direction and Alternative D and Alternative E two lanes in the
northbound direction.
After through review and consideration, the Ad Hoc Committee selected Alternative E
as the preferred alternative for the Maine Avenue reconfiguration, since it provides two
traffic lanes in each direction and curb parking on the west side of the street.
Developing the four lane Alternative E, will require a portion of Maine Avenue south of
Ramona Boulevard to be widened. This street segment currently has only one through
lane in each direction. Widening on both sides of the street is not possible, since there
is an historic building with a narrow 5 foot sidewalk on the southwest corner of Ramona
Boulevard and Maine Avenue. Instead, the proposed Maine Avenue reconfiguration
widens only the east side of the street, which will require the removal of the existing
singly story furniture store on the southeast corner of Ramona and Maine.
The Maine Avenue reconfiguration will increase the number of curb parking spaces
between Ramona Boulevard and Clark Street by 42 percent, from 19 existing spaces to
27 spaces.
Architect David Denton stated that several workshops had been conducted with City
staff and community Members to ascertain the needs of the downtown area. One of the
most important concerns that people expressed was about the traffic congestion on
Maine Avenue from City Hall to Clark Street. Not only did people report that the street
medians that were constructed several years ago, have impeded traffic flow, but also
have adversely affected retail business in this region. Almost unanimously, people
expressed their desire to widen Maine Avenue in this area in order to improve this
situation.
The traffic engineering firm of Lin, Scott. Law has studied this possibility. They have
proposed a street widening which extends from City Hall to Clark Street, which is two
lanes of traffic northbound and two lanes of traffic southbound with the necessary left
turn lanes.
The City has realized that the widening of Maine Avenue would have impacts on the
retail as well as the appearance of the street. The City asked the Master Plan Design
Team to study what impacts would be created and what mitigation could be proposed.
The Design Team came to realize that widening of Maine Avenue to the north of
Ramona Boulevard would be such that the sidewalks on the east and west side would
be reduced to eight feet. The Team also realized that the appearance of Maine Avenue
Just north of Ramona Boulevard would be significantly impacted with the removal of
landscaping and trees in the existing medians.

The team noted that Maine Avenue from Ramona Boulevard north to Palmrose Street
could not be revitalized as a pedestrian-oriented street with the narrowness of the new
sidewalks and with the retail on the east side of the street turning its back to the street,
with frontage to the east of the Park Place parking lot. It would be necessary to find a
different approach to revitalize the retail in the downtown area. The master plan that
has been proposed does not emphasize the retail on Maine Avenue, but now
emphasizes the retail around the intersection of Maine Avenue and Ramona Boulevard.
This retail also has better exposure because of its frontage on Ramona Boulevard.
The southeast comer of the intersection of Maine Avenue and Ramona Boulevard will
perhaps be most significantly impacted by the widening of Maine Avenue. The existing
Maine Avenue configuration just sough of Ramona BoSulevard now has building located
on both the east and west side of the street with sidewalks of only 4 feet wide. The
buildings to the west is an historic structure. The building to the east is a furniture store
with a small restaurant adjacent.
In order for the widening of Maine Avenue to be successful in solving the traffic flow
problem, Maine Avenue must also be widened south of Ramona Boulevard. The design
team felt that the historic building to the west should not be altered or removed.
Therefore, the master plan has suggested that in order to solve the traffic circulation
problem, that the furniture store and the adjacent restaurant should be acquired by the
City and removed and replaced with a larger retail development. This would allow for
the street to then be widened south of Ramona Boulevard.
The master plan shows this new development with a major pedestrian plaza in the
southeast comer of the intersection, with the new retail building set back from Maine
Avenue about 50 to 75 feet. The public plaza, which would include fountains, seating
areas and outdoor dining, would flow into the existing green space in front of City Hall.
With this plaza and the retail, City Hall will become visible from the downtown area for
the first time.
The new retail center that is proposed would be two levels, with retail on the ground
level and retail or offices on the second level. The existing angle parking in front of the
Verizon facility fs not used because of the lack of need by Verizon for public parking.
This parking could then be used by the new retail center. The master plan also shows a
new parking area behind the retail center, which would ramp down to below grade
parking that would be for employees and office workers.
The new retail center is also located on the existing police department parking lot. This
parking lot would be moved to the sough of City Hall, immediately adjacent to the police
department. It would be fenced with one controlled entry near the front door of the
police department. Additional City Hall parking would be created by closing Bogart
Avenue from Pacific Avenue to the parking lot of Verizon. This part of Bogart would
become a driveway with perpendicular parking on each side. The remaining part of
Bogart Avenue to the northeast would remain as a public street, providing vehicuSlar
access to the parking lot behind Verizon and the adjacent businesses.
Currently, there are two access drives to the City Hall parking from Pacific Avenue, one
at Bogart Avenue and the other between City Hall and the historic auditorium. The
master plan proposes that the latter vehicular access be dosed, as it is redundant to the

one on Bogart. which is the only one to provide left turn capability. The driveway
between City Hall and the historic auditorium would become a public plaza space for the
auditorium.
The master plan recommends that the area sough of Downing Avenue closest to the
Metrolink station should be eventually redeveloped for multi-family housing. In general,
the master plan suggests building denser multi-family housing wherever possible close
to the station. The plan recommends pedestrian connections from this new mufti-
family development on Downing Avenue connecting to the downtown area. The plan
proposes streetscape improvements along both the east and west sides of Pacific
Avenue to accommodate this pedestrian connection.
The proposed mufti-family housing along Downing Avenue is recommended to be a
combination of attached townhouses and mufti-level rental apartments. It is
recommended that a park should be located in the center of this development to give a
focus to the neighborhood and that this park be connected with pedestrian pathways to
the Metrolink station and the downtown.
Mr. Denton continued by explaining the proposed new plaza and sign at the expanded
Metrolink plaza. He also described the proposed recommendations for the southwest
comer of the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and Maine Avenue; the facade of the
front of the retail businesses fronting Ramona Boulevard in the vicinity of Sterling Way
and Pacific Avenue; the northeast corner of the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and
Maine Avenue, the northwest comer of the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and Main
Avenue; and the recommendations for the Park and Ride parking and proposed reuse
of the brick building. It was noted that all of the proposed recommendation are more
specifically outlined in section 3 of the handout entitled, Baldwin Park Downtown
Master Plan September, 2002"
Mr. Denton also address the Design Guideline noting that design guidelines have been
developed to guide the aesthetic direction of new commercial buildings. These
guidelines are intended to be mostly applied to buildings with the Master Plan study
area or within three blocks of the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and Maine Avenue.
As new development within this area will be commercial as well as residential and
possibly some institutional ft is not possible to establish specific guidelines for all
conditions. Rather these guidelines are meant to be general and to be interpreted in
consultation with the Redevelopment Agency and the Planning Department.
Mr. Denton briefly discussed the architectural style, colors, materials, and signage
noting that said recommendations are more specifically outlined in section 4 of the
handout entitled. Baldwin Park Downtown Master Plan September. 2002".
Mr. Cano concluded the presentation by extending his appreciation to the Project Team
Steering Committee, Cfty Council/Staff Ad Hoc Committee and the Planning
Commission for their valuable contributions. Through their active involvement DMSVs
Project Team was able to stay focused on the Project purpose and the issues that
seemed to be high priority for the community, i.e.. parking, traffic circulation, land-use,
and business district beautification.
