Johnson Favaro is assisting the city and its communities in planning for the future of its dramatic beachfront which includes the original pier from near the turn of the last century and subsequent expansions and improvements that continued into the 1950s, including the spectacular WPA era amphitheater overlooking the beach, the Strand and the Pacific Ocean. Included in the effort is replacement of the multi purpose Junior Seau Recreation Center to include a two-court gymnasium and multiple fitness, dance studios and meeting rooms.

Johnson Favaro is exploring the beachfront area’s current use patterns, existing and desired programs and services and associated space needs for the area, including potential upgrades to the amphitheater/bandshell,the recreation center, parking and including overall site redevelopment and improvement concepts, local community benefit and tourism amenities, walkability and plaza design.
