Exterior Installation of Wayfinding Signs at the Convention Center & Bayfront Parking Garages

The proposed project would involve the installation of wayfinding signs by ACE Parking (Applicant) on behalf of the San Diego Unified Port District (District) at the Convention Center Parking Garage and Bayfront Parking Garage (adjacent to the Hiton Bayfront Hotel) in the city of San Diego, California. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve the installation of one (1) sign above the entry/exit point for the Convention Center Parking Garage and six (6) signs along the walking paths within the Bayfront Parking Garage to improve wayfinding abilities for visitors using the garage. The signs for the proposed project would not include any new lighting. Additional details for the proposed signs are as follows: • Convention Center Parking Garage o One (1) sign above the northwest entry/exit point of the garage measuring approximately 43’6” long x 3’9” wide to display wayfinding signage for the San Diego Convention Center. • Bayfront Parking Garage o Three (3) signs on the first floor and three (3) signs on the third floor each measuring approximately 11’6” long x 3’10” wide within the parking garage walkway adjacent to Park Boulevard. These signs would display wayfinding signage to Gaslamp Quarter, Petco Park, East Village, or similar adjacent locations. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in approximately mid-2026 and would take approximately three (3) days to complete with ongoing modifications, maintenance, and removal as needed. Equipment required for the proposed project would consist of hand tools and a scissor lift. No temporary closures are anticipated for the sidewalk or promenade adjacent to the project sites. At the Convention Center Parking Garage, there would be approximately one (1) day of closures for the northwest entry/exit point, so traffic would be rerouted to the main entrance along E Harbor Drive. Signage would be posted to notify parkers about the temporary closure. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
