Outdoor Skating Facility Installation by Ringers Roller Rink at Seaport Village

Outdoor Skating Facility Installation by Ringers Roller Rink at Seaport Village

The proposed project would involve the installation of an outdoor skating facility by Ringers Roller Rink in the city of San Diego, California. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve the removal of existing concrete, east of Kettner Blvd in Seaport Village, and replacement of the removed concrete, in-kind, with a smooth, leveled concrete surface for the roller rink. Work would also include the installation of canopy shade sails over the concrete rink and a mobile food trailer located within the leasehold. Posts, not to exceed the height of the existing neighboring buildings, would be installed around the perimeter of the concrete rink and overhead canopy sails would be anchored to the posts. The posts would also be used to mount lighting and sound equipment for the rink, where lighting would not exceed 2,700 Kelvin and would be pointed downward, and inward towards the rink. All noise would adhere to the city of San Diego Noise Ordinance. The rink and sails would be accompanied by manufactured steel and acrylic perimeter railings and rink walls as well as a seating area adjacent to the rink. A 4-inch conduit would be installed underground to connect to the existing underground utilities for rink lighting and speakers and would install new recessed lockable wall mounted panels for outlet and system controls. The mobile food trailer would be located along the exterior eastern wall of the existing retail building and would not block any pedestrian and/or ADA pathways. The proposed project would also include removal and replacement of some existing landscaping with drought-tolerant plants in multiple locations throughout the project area. To allow for proper ingress and egress to the rink site, an existing ADA ramp would be removed from the western side of the neighboring tenant structure and replaced on the eastern side of the same building. The new ramp would be installed pursuant to all ADA standards and regulations. The proposed project, specifically the removal of the existing ramp, would require a Right of Entry (ROE) to obtain access to the neighboring leasehold. The proposed project would also include minor improvements to the existing interior retail space adjacent to the proposed roller rink. Work would include interior and exterior painting (including a commissioned mural on the exterior of the retail structure), repairs and replacements of interior electrical components, cleaning, securing, and resealing of existing vents, windows, and doors, removal of shelving, and replacement of existing front and back doors, with no structural changes to the building as a result of these minor repairs and improvements. Construction of the proposed project is anticipated to occur in Spring 2026 and would take approximately 3 months to complete. The project would also require a new Lease with the Applicant to authorize the proposed use within the designated premises. 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.
