HomeMy WebLinkAbout08 - PSA for the Corona del Mar Commercial Corridor Study (PA2024-0002)TO: FROM: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report June 11, 2024 Agenda Item No. 8 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Seimone Jurjis, Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director - 949-644-3232, sjurjis@newportbeachca.gov PREPARED BY: Joselyn Perez, Associate Planner - 949-644-3312, jperez@newportbeachca.gov Liz Westmoreland, AICP, Senior Planner - 949-644-3234, Westmoreland@newportbeachca.gov TITLE: Professional Services Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for Consulting Services for the Corona del Mar Commercial Corridor Study (PA2024-0002) ABSTRACT: For the City Council's consideration is a professional services agreement with Dudek, Inc. (Dudek) for consulting services to support the City of Newport Beach's efforts in enhancing the walkability and vibrancy of the commercial corridor within Corona del Mar. Dudek will study opportunities to improve current land uses, streetscape amenities, transportation features within the corridor, and will conduct community outreach to inform and produce zoning recommendations. The estimated cost for the plan is $218,048. RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and b) Approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for consulting services for the Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Study in an amount not -to -exceed $218,048 in a form substantially similar to the agreement attached to the staff report. DISCUSSION: At the August 22, 2023 City Council meeting, Councilmember Lauren Kleiman requested that a study of land use and parking within the commercial corridor of Corona del Mar (CdM) be placed on a future Council agenda, pursuant to City Council Policy A-1. The City Council unanimously voted in favor of staff returning with an item. RX Professional Services Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for Consulting Services for the Corona del Mar Commercial Corridor Study (PA2024-0002) June 11, 2024 Page 2 On September 26, 2023, staff returned to the City Council to discuss a possible study for CdM and to seek input on its content. At this meeting, the City Council expressed an interest to explore opportunities to create an environment that invites more walkability and connectivity, while balancing the parking needs of businesses, visitors and others so that residents are not unfairly burdened. Staff was given direction to retain a consultant that would study opportunities for: 1) Reenergizing the area by incentivizing property owners to reinvest, helping existing businesses thrive and attracting new businesses by encouraging walkability; 2) Creating continuity block -to -block and connectivity to other City villages, beaches and other local amenities; 3) Identifying regional parking solutions to relieve burden on residential neighborhoods and individual businesses; 4) Enhancing existing businesses and attracting new business by thoughtfully removing constraints to increase walkability that protect the fabric of the community by preventing the nationwide trend of decline of "main street USA"; 5) Incorporating new technology to assist in parking management and anticipate future trends in transportation and mobility; 6) Considering whether the corridor can support mixed use development with an understanding that the smaller lot sizes would produce smaller unit sizes; 7) Revisiting land use regulations to promote walkability and additional foot traffic. For example, certain uses, such as professional offices, may be better suited for upper floors. Outdoor dining could be promoted along with restaurants in general. Businesses that do not encourage walkup traffic, such as massage establishments or banks, may be restricted or capped in some manner. Reauest for Proposals (RFP Based on the Council's direction, staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking proposals from qualified firms interested in assisting the City in the study and preparation of a "community plan" or an appropriate planning document for the CdM commercial corridor. The RFP was posted on the City's public procurement system (PlanetBids.com) on February 8, 2024, and distributed directly to a short list of planning firms. The response deadline was March 7, 2024, and responses were received from four firms: Dudek, Inc. (Dudek); JBZ, Inc. (JBZ); Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. (KHA); and Sagecrest Planning + Environmental, Inc. (Sagecrest). The City employed a three -step process to evaluate the proposals and select a consultant. The steps included technical review, cost ratio analysis, and interviews. For the technical review, the proposals were evaluated by a four -person staff panel and given an initial technical score. The initial technical score did not consider cost, rather, proposals were evaluated based on the relevant experience of the firm, qualifications of key personnel, and approach to the study. FIN Professional Services Agreement with Dudek, Inc. for Consulting Services for the Corona del Mar Commercial Corridor Study (PA2024-0002) June 11, 2024 Page 3 This best practice of excluding cost from the initial review allowed the panel to independently review the qualifications of the firms before considering the overall cost to provide the service. This practice also requires proposers to earn a certain percentage of points in the technical review to advance to the cost review. In this case, all proposals scored sufficiently to advance to the second step, which is the cost ratio analysis. During the cost ratio analysis, it was found that all proposals were substantially similar except for JBZ, which was approximately $40,000 higher than the three others. The two highest scoring proposals from the technical review and cost ratio analysis, Dudek and KHA, were invited to interview with the staff panel. Staff had the opportunity to adjust scores based on the firms' performance in the interview. Through the RFP process, Dudek emerged as the consultant with the highest overall score and the consultant most likely to achieve the City's objectives. The City issued a Notice of Intent to Award to Dudek on April 25, 2024. Dudek Work Plan The work plan submitted by Dudek is robust and includes subconsultant support from Kearns & West (outreach), Pro Forma Advisors (economic and fiscal), and Fehr & Peers (transportation). It is generally divided into five main tasks. The full work plan is provided in Attachment A to this report. The proposed work plan includes one optional subtask, Development Typologies. This is necessary to consider potential mixed -use scenarios within the corridor, which was stated as an interest of the City Council at the earlier study session. Project Schedule The proposal assumes the project would be completed approximately 12 months from project kick-off. The contract term would be for 12 months. There are two, 12-month extensions available as contingency. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated project cost for this agreement is $218,048. The adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this project. Incurred costs will be expensed to the Planning Professional Services account (01050501-811008) in the Community Development Department. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.

As the City is open to exploring various types of community planning documents to achieve the objectives for this project, Dudek's response to this Request for Proposals is the development of an Implementation Overlay Zone (IOZ) for the corridor with tailored regulations and standards, as well as goals and policies, that can be seamlessly aligned and integrated with Dudek's current work in preparing the City's Comprehensive General Plan Update (GPU). Through this approach, the Dudek team brings a unique perspective to this effort. Dudek was founded in Southern California and has an integrated practice of planners, urban designers, coastal planners, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) specialists focused on shaping urban places that prioritize the well-being of the community and its residents. We are excited about this project as it speaks directly to Dudek's mission and values —and the work we love doing —to create more livable places that are vibrant, walkable, and sustainable. This work often starts with expanding upon the successes of a place; identifying the right mix of uses and destinations to support existing businesses, residents, and visitors; and facilitating public realm transformations to create positive change. Dudek is the "go -to" firm for many cities as they adapt their corridors, downtowns, and main streets, such as the Cities of Santa Clarita, Rancho Palos Verdes, Burbank, San Fernando, Huntington Beach, Glendale, and Ontario. Our holistic planning and visioning efforts have "teeth" and are implementable through our experience as policy and implementation -focused code experts. Successful completion of the IOZ requires a multidisciplinary and skilled local team with experience creating digestible and implementable plans that the City's departments and stakeholders will take on as their own. Dudek's Southern -California - based team of technical experts are well-equipped to meet the City's needs and will bring the City and its community members the following strengths: A Team that Understands Newport Beach and its Potential. We are well -versed in the local planning context and have the unique experience of working as the current GPU consultant, which gives Dudek unmatched insight into the City's planning philosophy and guidelines. Moreover, Dudek and our teaming partners have worked in and around the City and Orange County for more than three decades. Having worked as a consultant to the City since 2002, Dudek is intimately familiar with the City's local and regional landscape, culture, challenges, and opportunities. Our work with the City spans more than 35 distinct contracts, including providing coastal consulting services. Our partnership with Kearns & West further extends our understanding of the City and its stakeholders, providing us with unique insight and opportunity to build on recent planning efforts, outreach, and branding conducted as a part of "Newport, Together." Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone ME DUDEK Strong Management Personnel. Our team has a proven track record and is highly skilled in addressing the complexities and sensitivities that surround planning in coastal communities, and we have expertise with downtowns and main streets. Dudek's Project Manager, Shannon Heffernan, AICP, will work hand -in -hand with our multifaceted team of experts. Ms. Heffernan has more than 17 years' experience focusing on main streets and downtown visioning. Her previously led projects demonstrate her commitment to a human -scaled and community -oriented approach to urban design and planning; she worked with the Cities of Huntington Beach, Glendale, Lomita, Torrance, and the County of Los Angeles on visioning studies, streetscape guidelines, community plans, and others. Rachel Lindt, AICP will serve a Dudek's deputy project manager, bringing her diverse planning experience developing policy documents, such as area plans, specific plans, and vision plans, as well as regulatory documents, such as comprehensive zoning code updates, overlay zones, and specific plans, for several Southern California clients, including Rancho Palos Verdes, South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG), Pasadena, and Los Angeles County. Elizabeth Dickson, AICP, Dudek's project manager for the City's GPU will serve as our GPU Liaison for this project to provide continuity between both City efforts. A Multifaceted, Comprehensive Team of Experts. While Dudek's firmwide breadth and depth of capabilities can address the scope of work outlined in the Request for Proposals, we see distinct opportunity in teaming with key consultant partners to strengthen our response. We are pleased to continue our teaming partnership with consultants who are also working on the City's GPU, including Kearns & West for innovative and effective community engagement and Pro Forma Advisors to provide an economic feasibility lens. Our transportation subconsultant Fehr & Peers will provide a holistic approach to mobility and will supplement the work completed by Walker Consultants to foster a dynamic and complete corridor. Together, the Dudek team can provide robust and holistic research, analysis, collaboration with the GPU, and engagement with multiple stakeholders to determine appropriate solutions and interventions for the corridor. Through our outreach process, we will dive deep into the local understanding, address varied and sometimes competing stakeholder interests and desires, and have meaningful conversations on the tradeoffs around various solutions. As a commercial corridor that serves as the connective tissue and village center, CdM needs consensus around its future. Innovative, Tailored Approach. Dudek is excited to present the City of Newport Beach with an innovative and tailored approach to create a CdM IOZ. Understanding that the City's GPU is the City's comprehensive policy document, we see an opportunity to tie the vision and goals for the corridor into this existing effort. We recommend embedding CdM-specific policies surrounding land use, mobility, parking, outdoor dining, urban design, and corridor branding in the GPU or into the IOZ, based on City guidance and where appropriate. In turn, the IOZ will also function as a targeted regulatory document with corridor -specific supplemental development regulations. Together, the GPU and CdM IOZ can creatively and efficiently fulfill the City's objectives for this project and limit the need for potential General Plan amendments. We look forward to continuing our work with the City.

We prioritize the process of implementing a plan, addressing questions of where, when, and how to effectively execute the pace of change desired or expected from the plan. We draft policy documents, code regulations, development standards, and design guidelines that are useable and implementable because even the best plans fail when they are unable to translate their aspirations into clear and objective regulations. We also understand that plans without broad -based community support are unlikely to succeed. Consequently, we carefully tailor work products and community outreach efforts to be inviting, engaging, and user-friendly for the communities they serve. Our plans are realistic, bold, and stand the test of time. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Dudek's Planning and Urban Design studio has extensive experience crafting award -winning main street visioning plans, specific plans, corridor plans, community plans, overlay zones, and other planning documents for agencies throughout Southern California. We have been on the forefront of main street and downtown revitalization and corridor repositioning for the past decade, including our work with the City of Santa Clarita on the Old Town Newhall Specific Plan, Old Town Newhall is the historic core of the City of Santa Clarita and over the years has become a vibrant, pedestrian -friendly shopping and dining district. Dudek is currently working with the City of San Fernando on a Master Plan for their downtown; this project includes a collaboration with Walker Consultants to address parking supply and management within the downtown. Dudek's Project Manager Shannon Heffernan, AICP, has recently completed a study for the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) on the re -imagining of commercial corridors in six of the South Bay cities, including Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach, to identify underutilized commercial properties to be repositioned for revitalization and infill development at a gentle density. Proposal for Corona del Mar implementation Overlay Zone 1 no Ms. Heffernan has also worked with the Cities of Ontario, Huntington Beach, Torrance, Lomita, Glendale, West Hollywood, and communities of Westchester and Florence/Firestone on vision plans, strategic plans, and Planned Unit Developments for downtowns and main streets. In the visioning study for the City of Huntington Beach, Ms. Heffernan worked with the City to adapt their downtown's Main Street to uplift and support local businesses through design and public realm treatments, including al fresco dining. Ms. Heffernan also managed the re -design of Artsakh Avenue in Glendale's Arts & Entertainment District to create a pedestrian -friendly streetscape rich with outdoor dining experiences, interactive art elements, programming and placemaking, and vibrant land uses, and later rolled up her sleeves with City staff to set up temporary parklets and launch outdoor dining programs and guidelines. She has worked with the Cities of Lomita and Torrance on visioning projects for their downtowns and main streets, which included land use mix recommendations, public realm treatments, parking approaches, and governance strategies. Additionally, Ms. Heffernan is the project manager currently working with Los Angeles County on a Community Plan for the South Bay unincorporated communities. Based on our experience and as further explained in the Method of Approach section, Dudek's recommendation to achieve City of Newport Beach (City) objectives is an actionable Implementation Overlay Zone (IOZ) for Corona del Mar (CdM) that can feed seamlessly into the City's concurrent General Plan Update (GPU) effort that Dudek is supporting. Our team has prepared several implementation overlays for public agency clients. We completed the award -winning Mira Mesa Community Plan update for the City of San Diego. The Plan included overall goals and policies and supplemental development regulations for eight targeted Urban Villages as part of the City's Community Plan IOZ. We are also currently assisting the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in developing a Mixed -Use Overlay Zone District (MUOD) for select parcels along Western Avenue and Silver Spur Road —the City's two primary commercial corridors. Dudek is developing outdoor dining regulations as part of Rancho Palos Verdes' MUOD. DUDEK Dudek will leverage our experience as well as our knowledge of the local planning context in the City and surrounding region to execute this innovative and tailored approach. Dudek and our teaming partners have worked in and around the City and Orange County for decades. We have worked as a consultant to the City since 2002, and our most recent work with the City on the Comprehensive GPU demonstrates that our team is intimately familiar with the City's local and regional landscape, culture, challenges, and opportunities. We also have experience working with affluent coastal communities including the coastal Cities of Pismo Beach, San Diego, Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Dana Point, and Rancho Palos Verdes, to name a few. Dudek's planning and urban design staff will be supported by our coastal planners who are former California Coastal Commission (CCC) staff and have in-depth knowledge of all aspects of California coastal laws, regulations, procedures, and policy interpretation.

DUDEK Client: City of Newport Beach Reference: Benjamin Zdeba, Principal Planner; 949.644.3309; bzdeba@newportbeachca.gov Key Personnel: Elizabeth Dickson, Janet Rodriguez, Catherine Tang Saez, Kearns & West, Pro Forma Advisors Period of Performance: 2022—Ongoing The City's General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 2006 and now needs to reflect the City's current vision and meet complex state 6M 0-D requirements and long-term goals. The Dudek team, including Kearns �PoRn ^no^rulrss & West and Pro Forma Advisors, is preparing a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan, including robust outreach, branding, YrIULf /.MO extensive technical analysis, and updating General Plan elements with a focus on safety, community resources, sustainability, and climate resilience. We are developing an implementable General Plan that the City's departments and the community will take on as their own. Our goal is to support a collaborative, engaging planning process throughout the project. We are emphasizing communication and consensus building and are activel involving and considering all input from the community and stakeholders to develor collective vision for the city. This GPU is the community's plan, and Dudek is implementing a community -driven engagement program with the goal of creating a clear, concise, and implementable pathway for addressing the community's needs and achieving the vision over the next 20 to 30 years. Our technical experts, planners, urban designers, and community engagement specialists are approaching this project with a sustainability-focused lens to result in a plan that meets the community's needs and the state's regulatory requirements and blends community -driven and cost-effective ideas into policy recommendations and implementable actions. In addition, since 2022, Dudek has collaborated with the City on various matters pertaining to compliance with the California Coastal Act (CCA), development within the coastal zone, and coordination with the CCC. Current and recent tasks include submitting a request to the CCC for transfer of Coastal Development Permit (CDP) jurisdiction from the CCC to the City for lands meeting the criteria of Section 30613 of the CCA; preparing application materials and geographic information system (GIS) data layers and map exhibits for areas subject, including affected parcels, City boundaries, CCC jurisdiction, and aerial photos; and preparing a CCC CDP application on behalf of the City for the Big Canyon Habitat Restoration Phase 3 Project. Dudek planners are also on -call to participate in monthly coordination meetings with City staff and to coordinate with and advise City staff on general matters regarding CCC coordination and coastal planning issues. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 5 8-32 Client: City of San Diego Reference: Alex Frost, Senior Planner; 619.236.6006; afrost@sandiego.gov Key Personnel: Catherine Tang Saez Period of Performance: 2020—Ongoing Through an as needed contract with the City of San Diego's Planning Department, Dudek prepared an update the Community Plan for Mira Mesa. At 10,500 acres, 75,000 residents, and 85,000 jobs, Mira Mesa is the largest and most populous of San Diego's 50 community plan areas. The Community Plan acts as a "mini -general plan" for this area, and includes Land Use and Economic Prosperity, Mobility, Public Services, Facilities and Safety, Historic Preservation, Parks Recreation and Open Space, and Urban Design Elements. Dudek supported the City of San Diego through the community plan update process, providing robust community engagement services, policy support, documents/graphics preparation, and focused urban design studies to help envision the repositioning of industrial business parks and retail strip malls as new mixed use. The process promotes transit -adjacent Urban Villages in support of meeting the City's 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment target and community -wide mobility goals, Dudek also used this work to prepare an Urban Design 101, demonstrating how urban design can shape the built form of housing with fagade treatments, setback, and massing treatments to still get the desired density. The Urban Design 101 training educated and informed the Mira Mesa Community Planning Group and the public on how good urban design can be used to improve the quality of the public realm as well as to help combat negative connotations of densification. Dudek prepared overall goals and policies for the Plan, as well as supplemental development regulations for eight targeted Urban Villages as part of the City's Community Plan IOZ. Dudek also prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and supporting technical studies for this community plan update. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone DUDEK Comprehensive Plan: OLarge Jurisdiction American Planning Association — San Diego Section, 2023 I 8-33 Client: City of Fullerton Reference: Chris Schaefer, AICP, Planning Manager; 714.738.6884; chris.schaefer@cityoffullerton.com Key Personnel: Rachel Lindt, Catherine Tang Saez, Allah Werth, Pro Forma Advisors Period of Performance: 2020—Ongoing To address housing affordability and scarcity, the City of Fullerton is utilizing California's Senate Bill 2 grant funds to streamline housing production in the city. Dudek is currently developing a housing incentive overlay zone (HIOZ) for select parcels with underlying commercial and industrial zoning designations. The HIOZ is one of multiple programs identified in the City of Fullerton's Housing Element update and is intended to incentivize the development of additional housing, especially affordable housing, by expanding its allowability and reducing regulatory burdens. Dudek's scope of work entails testing the physical and financial feasibility of housing on these parcels and is updating the city's existing multifamily and mixed -use development standards to be objective and streamlined for both citywide and HIOZ use. The overlay zone will rely on a hybridized approach to development standards by incorporating the easy -to - understand format of Euclidian zoning and layering in the design aspirations of a form -based code. Integral to this project is a capacity -building effort that aims to educate and inform a group of Fullerton stakeholders, the "Housing Champions," of the economic and regulatory landscape of housing policy. In addition, Dudek is preparing the EIR and supporting technical studies for the overlay zone.

An identified program of the City's Housing Element update, the Mixed -Use Overlay Zone District will enable the City to accommodate its Regional Housing Needs Assessment requirement for the 2021-2029 cycle while providing current and future residents access to a diverse array of housing options and amenities. Dudek is testing the physical feasibility of a variety of mixed -use building typologies while considering unique sightline and topographical constraints specific to the peninsula. The project provides new objective development standards and graphics for the overlay zone district to supersede the City's outdated Western Avenue Specific Plan. Recognizing that housing is usually a contentious topic in community discussions, the project takes on an educational approach to outreach by focusing messaging around the social, economic, and environmental benefits of mixed -use and soliciting feedback on the various types of mixed -use amenities the public aspires appropriate for the community. To broaden the reach, outreach is conducted both online (via a website, survey, and virtual open house platform) and in -person (utilizing existing vacant retail spaces). In addition, Dudek is preparing the EIR and supporting technical studies. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone DUDEK TI81 HIGFCti11�A UPTIR1W51 AR 1 Branding! V r .

One of the major challenges cities face today is the resiliency of their beloved main streets and commercial corridors, especially with the changing demand of retail, commercial tastes, and formats, as well as residual impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Main streets and commercial corridors serve as the social connective tissue within a community, as they provide unique destinations and offer one -of -a -kind experiences for residents and visitors alike. It is our core belief at Dudek that incremental approaches to commercial corridors is the best way to build vibrant, active, and resilient places. As such, we envision exploring a series of steps to preserve and enhance what is currently working successfully along the corridor, as well as While it is never a one -size -fits -all approach to fostering and maintaining the vibrancy of significant commercial corridors, our experience working on several main street and corridor projects has included essential ingredients. The elements that provide a continuous thread for creating successful places include an enhanced public realm with streetscape and street culture elements, including outdoor dining, programming, and placemaking to inform corridor branding and identity; strategic infill development where appropriate; improved access and connectivity via walking, biking, e-modes, and driving; and an appropriate mix of uses that promote economic development and longer stays along a corridor. Using a data -driven approach, we will identify an appropriate mix of uses that prioritizes local Coast Highway already includes many of the essential ingredients foro successful main street with its diversity of local, boutique, and niche businesses, restaurants, limited formula retail, offices which provide a built-in daytime population, colorful murals, active transportation infrastructure, and sidewalk dining.

Dudek will fulfill the City's goals and vision to create a vibrant and walkable corridor and will do so creatively As the lead consultant of the City's GPU, we understand the and efficiently. external pressures and need to increase residential capacity within the city, as well as the upcoming Growth Measure that is going for voter approval in November. With the potential for future new residents within the City, we know that existing residents are already facing challenges with how they access resources, parking for shopping, and amenities, especially along this corridor. Our breadth of experience and approach to creating vibrant and walkable main streets will allow us to holistically plan for improved access to existing and future resources and amenities through context -appropriate mobility and parking strategies, without exacerbating existing challenges. Through our work, we can also explore the community's interest for a mixed -use corridor, if the City chooses to explore this option, which could be facilitated through strategic infill development at a gentle density and appropriate scale sensitive to the surrounding context. The Dudek team can successfully perform all the services requested in the City's scope of services, and we offer a unique approach because Dudek is currently the lead consultant for the City's GPU. Understanding that the GPU is the City's comprehensive policy document, we see an opportunity to tie into this existing effort seamlessly and efficiently, bringing Dudek's experience working with the City and having seen success in the approach with similar coastal communities. Dudek recommends embedding CdM-specific goals and policies surrounding land use, mobility, parking, outdoor dining, urban design, and corridor branding in the GPU, with City guidance and where appropriate, and the IOZ can be the targeted regulatory mechanism with corridor -specific supplemental development regulations. This way, the CdM 10Z is actionable and implementable by seamlessly aligning and tying to the GPU. Together, the General Plan and CdM IOZ will fulfill the City's goals and vision for this project, and limit the possibility for General Plan amendments. Our project manager, Shannon Heffernan, will work alongside our GPU Liaison, Elizabeth Dickson, to lead this effort with an implementation -focused lens, as there is Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone RIM -'roject rvjaiia,,enneW Project management provided under this task will facilitate clear lines of communication, organization of background materials and data, and diligent milestone tracking. Our team understands that the City and its stakeholders have institutional and local perspectives and knowledge that are invaluable to the planning process. For this reason, communication and coordination through project management and community outreach are essential to project success. Task 1.1 Project Management and Coordination Diligent project management and meaningful community engagement are the hallmarks of an effective planning process. Dudek Project Manager Shannon Heffernan will serve as the primary point of contact and will oversee the day-to-day project management tasks to ensure that the project stays on schedule and within budget. Dudek will coordinate and establish regular meetings with the City on a bi-weekly basis that will be held virtually. Up to five (5) of these regular meetings can be held in -person. City and Dudek project managers will invite other attendees to this call as needed. These periodic check -ins will chart completed tasks and status of ongoing work, reaffirm key milestones and deliverables, and flag any anticipated issues that may impact the schedule or budget. Additionally, Dudek will attend up to five (5) coordination meetings with Walker Consultants to integrate their deliverables into the CdM IOZ and other documents, as appropriate. DUDEK Task 1.2 Project Kickoff Meeting Dudek will attend an in -person kickoff meeting with City staff within two (2) weeks of Notice to Proceed.

Dudek will share the SWOT with City staff during an internal workshop to facilitate a visioning session. Through focused conversation, Dudek will seek alignment on the vision and goals for the corridor that will inform the recommendations. This conversation will also be informed by feedback received from the community and stakeholders regarding their vision and goals for the corridor. Task 2.2 Corridor Discovery The Dudek team will conduct immersive site walks and field surveys to observe and document the built environment, including the public realm, and public right-of-way along the corridor, with a lens of identifying differences between the north portion of Coast Highway (non -costal zones) versus the south portion of Coast Highway (coastal zone), to capture the following: ■ Current patterns and mix of existing land uses within the corridor, including use clustering and diversity (retail, dining, arts/entertainment, services, offices, etc.) ■ Existing tenants, building vacancies, and legacy businesses/properties ■ Building design and key features within building facades fronting the public realm ■ Key linkages and connectivity ■ Public realm conditions, including sidewalk widths, street trees, street activation levels, and streetscape street culture components, such as existing branding, wayfinding, lighting, landscaping, furnishings, and points of visual interest and programming ■ Public right-of-way conditions, including on -street parking locations, existing medians, bicycle facilities, and other roadway features In addition, Dudek will conduct discovery interviews with City staff from various departments to understand planning, infrastructure, and beautification efforts underway along the corridors and programs. Dudek recommends a three-hour time block for back-to-back virtual interviews conducted with City staff from various departments. Dudek's Project Manager prepared a land use mix inventory far the Downtown Torrance Revitalization Plan. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 26 8-53 Task 2.3 Evaluate Land Use and Regulations Dudek will review existing data and relevant documentation regarding land use and regulations that pertain to the corridor to inform future land use and zoning recommendations. This work includes our review of the existing regulatory framework that pertains to the corridor, including, but not limited to the following: ■ General Plan Land Use Element ■ Local Coastal Program Coastal Land Use Plan and Zoning Map ■ Title 20 Planning and Zoning, including Section 20.20 Commercial Zoning Districts — Commercial Corridor Zoning District, including land uses and permit requirements, as well as development standards • Outdoor dining regulations for public and private property (Chapter 13) • Citywide Sign Design Guidelines and CdM — A - Frame Sign Informational Flyer ■ Water Efficient Landscape Design Standards The allowed mix of uses will be compared with the current mix of existing land uses along the corridor and appropriate land use mix for the corridor as identified in Task 2.4 Corridor Case Studies. As the lead consultant on the City's GPU, we will also coordinate with our GPU liaison to discuss our land use and zoning regulation findings. The Dudek team has experience developing outdoor dining regulations for several communities, including the City of Rancho Palos Verdes's commercial and mixed -use corridors. In reviewing the City's existing outdoor dining regulations for both private property and public property, Dudek team will consider specific topics, regulations, and processes from other cities and recommend changes, if needed. As coastal experts, we understand the City's Local Coastal Plan (LCP) and process, as well as coastal planning and commission requirements. We can apply this expertise to the development of regulations. As part of Task 2.3, the Dudek team will review the certified LCP, including relevant policies and standards, including those focused on land use and parking, to ensure consistency. We understand that the LCP will require an amendment based on the GPU and this project. DUDEK Task 2.4 Corridor Case Studies Dudek, in collaboration with our subconsultant Pro Forma Advisors, will prepare three to five case studies of active, vibrant, and relevant "lifestyle retail" districts. These shopping environments will be analyzed to determine the optimal mix of commercial uses that increases visitors' length of stay and pedestrian activity. The research will focus on beach communities, downtown districts, retail developments, and corridor entertainment and shopping districts in Orange County and the larger Southern California region with an emphasis on affluent coastal towns. The commercial market has a high level of competition, and a mixed -use commercial corridor needs to be Positioned to compete with existing lifestyle retail development in the area, and indirectly with other more traditional shopping center and retail corridor environments. Unlike regional shopping centers that rely on department store anchors, lifestyle retail shopping environments rely on a mix of activities and experiences to drive business. The case studies will document successful and attractive main streets to consider by highlighting best practices and programs for a mix of land uses required for vibrancy and include key performance indicators for development history, size, pedestrian traffic, market reach, length of Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 27 DUDEK stay, lease rate premiums, parking strategies, streetscape design and public realm treatments, placemaking, and other necessary ingredients. Pro Forma Advisors will compare the case study research of successful main streets and downtown districts with the existing land use mix of the corridor to inform land use recommendations. in addition, a general market demand profile for the corridor will also be provided. [Optional] Task 2.5 Development Typologies Pro Forma Advisors can explore up to three development prototypes appropriate to create a mixed -use corridor. The analysis will test desired mixed -use housing typologies and analyze the underlying economics that will impact their development. Mixed -use housing typologies can be explored through a "gentle density," which is an incremental infill development approach that is focused on integrating new uses and development at a lower intensity and density to preserve existing character and promote development that complements the scale of the surrounding context. The work will take a typical parcel, with a hypothetical underutilized commercial use, to determine the feasibility. The development typology review will be a high-level review using typical market revenue assumptions and rough order of magnitude (ROM) per square foot cost estimates. Task 2.6 Supplemental parking Analysis Parking is a major concern for existing residents and businesses in CdM that will only be exacerbated by new development. Dudek's transportation subconsultant Fehr & Peers will leverage the past parking studies for CdM and prepare a holistic parking plan for addressing the needs of residents, employees, and visitors, recognizing the changing travel and parking patterns post -pandemic. This review will be supplemented by utilizing available StreetLight' data to understand the parking users' current travel patterns, StreetLight data uses "big data" associated with cellular location -based services and historic counts on area roadways to calculate traffic volumes on roadways. This data source can be leveraged at no cost to the City through the Southern California Association of Governments data portal. Fehr & Peers has independently validated StreetLight data to a variety of locations, findingthatthe information tends to deviate from traditional counts in highly urbanized areas including changes in demand, changes in time -of -day patterns, and understanding origins and destinations. Fehr & Peers will build from the data to develop a tailored approach that will be appropriate for CdM. This will include refining the parking solutions/strategies based on the recommended land use mix and mobility options, which could include opportunities for shared parking and new parking management technologies (i.e., parking sensors, real-time Parking Supply Apps, etc.), updating parking rates for certain uses, or requirements to provide parking for outdoor dining. Consistent with the recommendations developed by Walker Consultants, Fehr & Peers anticipate recommendations to reduce parking where appropriate and charge for parking in targeted areas to manage the parking availability perception issue. In addition, Fehr & Peers will evaluate the viability of a parking district for the corridor, review the City's parking valet standards to potentially implement centralized lots for valet and alleviate the requirements for individual businesses, and potentially identify locations for a City -owned parking structure if needed to mitigate impacts. (where people walking or on a bus are included in the vehicle count information). In less -urbanized areas, the data meets typical confidence intervals for statistical appropriateness and, where data differs, StreetLight tends to over -estimate traffic in count locations. Additional information related to our independent verification can be seen at here:https://www.fehrandpeers.com/ tra nsformative-data-col lection-solution/ Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 28 8-55 Task 2.7 Multi -Modal Transportation Analysis Fehr & Peers will prepare a multi -modal mobility study to assess the CdM potential for complete street improvements to improve the connectivity between the CdM and other city villages (i.e., Balboa Island and Newport Center, etc.). This analysis will identify opportunities to improve travel options for all modes of transportation and all users of all ages and all abilities, including pedestrians, bicyclists, low -speed vehicle users (such as e-bikes), motorists, and public transportation users. This will use a layered -networks approach; whereby preferred modes would be identified for corridors based on the available right of way. We will review the city's micro -mobility transit study and incorporate the findings and recommendations. In addition, we will develop curbside management strategies specific to neighborhood electric vehicles and micromobility, including consideration for interactions with other vehicles (e,g., loading and delivery) at the curb. One -Way Flex Scheme: Landscape DUDEK Task 2.8 Safety Analysis Safety is an important component of funding and implementing multimodal networks. Fehr & Peers will collect the most recent five years of available collision data from Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System and Transportation Injury Mapping System to identify high-level collision trends for multimodal users, including ranking by number of collisions, collision severity, and collision characteristics. They will develop a list of safety countermeasures most relevant to key trends identified in the safety analysis. Task 2.9 Public Realm Analysis Dudek's urban designers and landscape architects will explore strategies and provide recommendations for sidewalk management and interventions to the public realm, including, branding, art, landscaping, etc. along the corridor. As part of this analysis, we will develop recommendations for corridor -based landscape themes, village branding, and tree placement, both within the median and within the sidewalk environment. 0 LA Suggested landscape elements' for this IMIM f _* 1 _ r scheme include taller palms, grasses and " s softer, feathery textures interspersed with ' } � some sculptural plants. ML O" Dudek's project manager prepared a public realm landscaping palette far main street as part of the Huntington Beach Main Street Visioning project. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 8-56 Task 2.10 Corridor Atlas Synthesizing our efforts from Tasks 1 and 2, Dudek will develop a Corridor Atlas that defines the vision and goals for the corridor, summarizes the diagnostic and existing conditions analysis, including constraints and opportunities, and provides Initial recommendations to achieve the vision. The recommendations will be structured based on the following topics: Land use and corridor opportunities. The Dudek team will recommend regulatory updates, including land use and development standards that will enable the corridor to achieve its vision. Dudek is experienced in developing policy and regulatory code, including economic incentives, which can encourage certain use types or development. This section will highlight distinct sub -districts along the corridor that may warrant unique regulations or standards, such as areas within the coastal zone. Urban design and public realm. The Dudek team will provide recommendations for the physical environment and character of the corridor to create a vibrant destination and support an active and walkable district. This will include recommendations for street culture and branding, streetscape, and the public realm, focusing on the ground floor of the corridor, the quality of facades, and the pedestrian experience. Parking and mobility. The Dudek team will include recommendations for parking approaches and management, active transportation, neighborhood electric vehicles, electric, and personal mobility modes to facilitate multi -modal connectivity to and along the corridor. Our Corridor Atlas will inform the Task 4.1 CdM IOZ Outline. Task 2 Assumptions ■ Dudek will compile and summarize maps, diagrams, and key findings from Tasks 2.1-2.9 in the Task 2.10 Corridor Atlas. DUDEK Task 2 Deliverables ■ Visioning and goal setting session agenda and concise meeting summary ■ Up to four (4) discovery interviews with City departments ■ Optional: Up to three (3) development prototypes appropriate to create a mixed -use commercial corridor ■ One (1) Corridor Atlas with maps, diagrams, and key findings from Tasks 1 and 2 Task 3: Public Outreach Task 3.1 Community Engagement Memo Dudek's outreach subconsultant Kearns & West will develop a Community Engagement Memorandum (Memo) that provides a framework for stakeholders, residents, and the wider community for the project. The Memo will identify potential stakeholder groups to engage, identify the most effective engagement methods, and outline goals for participation, roles and responsibilities, and outreach activities. For each engagement activity, a schedule, date, purpose, and public participation goal will be identified in tandem with City staff. All materials will be consulted with the Public Information Office. Additionally, the Memo will identify inclusive engagement strategies as well as holistic engagement activities needed that reflect the various stakeholders, such as the business community, community - based organizations, and transit agencies, among others. Task 3.2 Engagement Toolkit A core part of the project will be to engage the CdM business community. Kearns & West will utilize a "Toolkit of Options" that outlines various ways to engage the CdM business stakeholder community,Table 2 lists some of the proposed options. The Kearns & West team recommends utilizing a combination of two or three of the options listed in Table 2 to ensure that all businesses are engaged holistically. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay zone 30 8-57 DUDEK Table 2. Engagement Toolkit Options This method will send mailers with updates and surveys to business stakeholders. Mailers are an effective way of ensuring that all stakeholders are contacted and can be used as an initial touchpoint to lead to deeper engagement. Mailers can be sent to stakeholders periodically throughout the project at identified milestones. With door-to-door engagement, Kearns & West, in tandem with Dudek and City Staff, will identify a list of businesses to visit over the course of one or more days. During these visits, staff will engage with business owners and employees to ask in-depth questions curated by the Dudek team. Additionally, Kearns & West staff can disseminate the business stakeholder survey in -person to foster deeper conversation and collect more input. For this method, the Kearns & West team will develop the logistics and framework to support facilitating group interviews with key stakeholders to identify and discuss opportunities for improving the CdM community. Stakeholder interviews provide an opportunity to have deep and more intimate conversations with stakeholders using a series of identified guided questions. Interviews can be held at varying times of the day to accommodate the type of stakeholder. For example, restaurants can be met with in the morning and retail businesses in the evening. Kearns & West will also produce a summary memorandum of the interviews. Potential stakeholder groups include the following: ■ Commercial property owners ■ CdM Chamber of Commerce ■ Retail businesses ■ Restaurant businesses ■ sporting and boating associations/groups ■ Local traffic and transit agencies and committees ■ Residents and homeowners associations ■ Nature and environmental groups Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 31 i [Optional] Task 3.3 Surveys Kearns & West proposes using an online survey tool to share information on the project and gather input, and to supplement the business outreach options in the Engagement Toolkit and the outreach to the CdM community as part of the Public Workshop/Open House. We recommend a targeted survey for businesses and a wider community survey for residents and members of the public who frequent CdM. The Dudek team can design up to two (2) surveys throughout the project. Kearns & West is currently utilizing Social Pinpoint for the GPU process. We recommend having a page on the Social Pinpoint GPU website for the IOZ that includes access to the community and business surveys. The surveys will collect information on land uses to be allowed, parking recommendations, and walkability improvements. 1. Direct Polling to Businesses — Surveys would be administered directly to business owners or executive staff during the door-to-door engagement process. This will ensure that the highest number of businesses are engaged and complete the survey. Additionally, direct polling can allow individuals to provide further input on the questions asked. 2. Community Survey— In addition to a survey targeted to businesses, a community -wide survey can be distributed throughout the CdM community. We recommend that this survey is housed on the Social Pinpoint GPU website. Additionally, QR codes that can be scanned and send people to the survey to collect high-level input can be posted at businesses and areas where people gather throughout CdM. DUDEK Task 3.4 Website and Communications Kearns & West recommends that the City utilizes the Social Pinpoint GPU website to house all the information for the CdM IOZ. The website will provide updates, project information, access to the surveys, and other potential engagement activities that the City wants to incorporate. Our team can alternatively develop language for the City to include on their website. Additionally, the Kearns & West team recommends developing a Communications Plan that includes a marketing timeline for external facing materials, development of social media blurbs, and other draft content for publication, as well as roles and responsibilities. Task 3.5 Open House The public workshop will be focused on engaging the community to develop and review policies for the IOZ. Public workshops should engage a broad spectrum of the community and create opportunities for meaningful input. The workshop can be structured as an Open House format for optimal community engagement and input. During the Open House, City Staff and the Kearns & West team will facilitate a series of tactile engagement activities to gather in-depth feedback and input from members of the public. The Open House can utilize existing entities to promote the event as well as ensure business stakeholders attend. For example, co -sponsoring the event with the CdM Chamber of Commerce can increase attendance and visibility of the event.

The CdM IOZ would establish place -based goals and policies for the corridor and supplement the underlying base zone of the project area properties by providing additional tailored development regulations, as well as development and design standards. The regulations and standards will govern and incentivize design treatments, amenities, outdoor dining, and streetscape requirements. The IOZ will also establish development permit procedures and design compatibility requirements, as well as facilitate the appropriate mix of land uses through use regulations to create a vibrant and walkability main street. As regulatory experts, we will also remove constraints and development roadblocks to support existing property owners and reinvestment. The IOZ can also mitigate potential development impacts or demands and provide guidance for where development impact fees should be allocated. Some of these mitigation measures could include strategies or actions, for example identifying locations and providing cost magnitudes for a parking structure on a publicly owned property to help inform the City's Capital Improvement Program. Task 4.1 GPU Strategy Session and Coordination The Dudek team will schedule and facilitate a strategy session between Dudek staff working on the GPU, staff working on the CdM IOZ, and City staff to review key findings and recommendations from Task 2.10 Corridor Atlas. The strategy session will be critical to identifying the appropriate direction for the CdM IOZ and the relationship with the GPU. Task 4.1 also Includes coordination time between Dudek staff working on the GPU to determine the best approach for embedding goal and policy direction for CdM in the General Plan. Task 4.2 Goals ands Policy Development Based on the results of the GPU Strategy Session, the Dudek team will develop CdM-specific goals and policies for embedding in the GPU. Goals and policies can be embedded by Element for a more surgical approach or be featured together for the CdM village focus area. The DUDEK Dudek team will determine the best approach based on discussions with the City and ongoing GPU coordination (Task 4.1). Task 4.3 CdM IOZ Outline The Dudek team will prepare an annotated outline of the CdM IOZ that captures goals, policies, outreach feedback, land use, streetscape design, and strategies for increasing walkability and parking management based on findings and recommendations from Tasks 1, 2, and 3. The outline will serve as the document structure for the IOZ and allow City staff to provide early feedback prior to creating the Draft CdM 10Z. Task 4.4 Preliminary Draft CdM IOZ Dudek will address the comments received on the outline and prepare the Preliminary Draft CdM IOZ. City Staff will review the Preliminary Draft before sharing with the public at large for feedback. Task 4.5 Draft CdM IOZ Dudek will review the comments received from City Staff on the Preliminary Draft and prepare two drafts of the CdM 10Z. The first draft will be shared with the public for feedback as part of a community open house (Task 3.5). The Dudek team will then incorporate comments and prepare a second draft to be shared with the Planning Commission (Task 5). Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 34 8-61 Task 4.6 Revised Draft CdM IOZ Based on feedback from the Planning Commission (Task 5), the Dudek team will develop a revised draft CdM IOZ. The revised draft will be shared with the City Council as part of a Study Session (Task 5). Task 4.7 Final CdM IOZ Dudek will incorporate feedback from the City Council Study Session and create the final CdM IOZ that will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council. Task 4 Assumptions The City will provide consolidated comments for each of the CdM drafts outlined in the Task 4 Deliverables.

Dudek will conduct a prep session with City staff prior to the Study Session and prepare a PowerPoint presentation. Dudek assumes that the City will kick off the Study Session with opening remarks and introductions, then Dudek will take the lead in presenting the draft CdM IOZ. Dudek will bring an additional member of the team for notetaking, questions and answers, and other support. Dudek will then review the feedback with City staff at a follow-up meeting and revise the draft CdM IOZ based on feedback from the City Council Study Session, as directed by City staff. After any changes to the draft IOZ are made based on the City Council's feedback, Dudek, in collaboration with City staff, will present a final version to the Planning Commission for their formal recommendation. Following the recommendation, the Dudek team will present the final version to the City Council for review and potential adoption. Task 5 Assumptions • The City will kick off the City Council Study Session with opening remarks and introductions, then Dudek will take the lead in presenting the plan. Dudek will bring an additional member of the team to the City Council Study Session for notetaking, questions and answers, and other support. For each of these meetings, Dudek will coordinate with City staff to prepare the presentation materials. Dudek will be responsible for the bulk of the presentations and materials with an introduction by City staff and other support, including preparation meetings.

There are several classes of projects that the state has determined would not have a significant effect on the environment, and, therefore, are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of further environmental documents. Because the CdM IOZ seeks to reenergize the area by creating connectivity to other amenities, enhancing walkability, encouraging mixed -use development, and identifying regional parking solutions, Dudek proposes to assist the City with documenting and filing a Categorical Exemption with the County Clerk's office. Proposal for Corona del Mar Implementation Overlay Zone 37 OM Based on Dudek's preliminary understanding of the proposed project, it is possible that the project may be processed using a Class 1 categorical exemption, Existing Facilities, as outlined in Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 1 exemptions consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The following types of existing facilities are not intended to be all-inclusive of the types of projects which might fall within Class 1. The key consideration is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of use. Examples of existing facilities include but are not limited to the following: ■ Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety), and other alterations such as the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle -share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes) ■ Restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as earthquake, landslide, or flood DUDEK In addition, Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines provides several exceptions that would otherwise preclude the use of a CE: ■ All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant ■ A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. ■ A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. ■ A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. ■ A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. ■ Dudek will support the City in filing a categorical exemption for this project. If it is determined through the project planning process that other or more substantial changes are proposed, which could result in environmental impacts, Dudek can work with the City to prepare a separate scope of work for the appropriate environmental document that may consist of an initial study/mitigated negative declaration or environmental impact report.

While at a previous firm, Shannon Heffernan worked with Dudek and SCAG to create the Other -to - Residential Toolkit as a wayto provide an actionable guide to envisioning the reuse and conversion options for underutilized sites in the SCAG region. The built -out nature of Southern California communities is often a barrier for adding more housing in existing cities and communities. The Toolkit is designed to support cities, and public agencies in the SCAG region to think creatively about ways to facilitate or initiate additional housing development by reimagining under-utilized sites and their potential for redevelopment. It specifically focuses on sites that fall within the commercial, brownfield, gas Education University of Southern California Executive Master of Urban and Regional Planning, Concentration in Real Estate Development, 2022 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo BS, City and Regional Planning, 2006 Certifications American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), issued 2017 Professional Affiliations American Planning Association - Los Angeles Chapter, Professional Development Director stations and underutilized golf course categories, as land uses that may be declining or getting phased out in various parts of the SCAG region with changing trends in retail, mobility, and recreational activity. The Toolkit provides a Step -by -Step guide with direction on how to identify opportunities and barriers for residential conversion on these sites, as well as a Toolbox of measures that agencies can take to facilitate or initiate site conversion processes. Through in-depth research, the Toolkit highlights issues and opportunities across a variety of themes including regulatory aspects (local and state legislation), Market factors, environmental concerns, physical considerations of various site types and context -specific factors. SBCCOG Land Use and Transportation Climate Action Plans Role: Project Manager. While at a previous firm, Shannon Heffernan partnered with SBCCOG to create Climate Action Plans for each of the South Bay Cities, that focused on identifying and helping the Cities adopt Land Use and Transportation measures to reduce greenhouse BE DUDEK gas emissions and meet State targets for sustainable development. Ms. Heffernan worked with the unique context of the South Bay communities to combine traditional concepts such as Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) with other options that were tailor-made to address the built -out and transit -poor context of the South Bay. This included Neighborhood Oriented Development (NOD) principles, alternative modes for the 3-mile local trips within the South Bay including better infrastructure for biking and neighborhood electric vehicles, and strategic opportunities to integrate housing along commercial corridors through land use measures that combined transportation access. The team provided staff at each city with options for measures to consider, along with associated greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential, to provide a framework for city decision making and help streamline efforts and adopt an actionable Climate Action Plan to pursue future funding for planning and implementation of measures. Pacific/Randolph and Florence/Salt Lake Station Area Plans, Huntington Park, Bell, Cudahy, and Maywood, Califomla. As a core team member at a previous firm, prepared Station Area Plans for the proposed Florence/Salt Lake and Pacific/Randolph stations along the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor that will form the basis for a TOD Specific Plan for each station area. The development of the Station Area Plans included input from stakeholders and the community, and a focus on land use, zoning, and urban design priorities to inform design standards for future development, recommendations for active transportation and infrastructure improvements, and recommendations for policies to create equitable growth through an Equitable Development Framework. Participated in and presented at walk audits, pop-up open houses at Salt Lake Park, door-to-door business canvassing, and virtual engagement with the Technical Advisory Committee, Community Advisory Committee, and Planning Commission meetings for four cities. As part of this exercise, underutilized sites were identified in each station area for future transit -oriented development and densification and created infill development scenarios focused on housing and mixed -use to test various development prototypes on these sites. Existing infrastructure was also assessed to determine existing city capacity of city infrastructure, and capacity needed to accommodate future housing based on the development scenarios. Based on the development scenarios and community feedback, the team then provided recommendations for zoning enhancements, changes, or other planning and policy initiatives to better guide future development in the station areas. Metro Little Tokyo/Arts District Station Joint Development Opportunity Analysis, Los Angeles, California. As project manager at a previous firm, worked with Metro's Joint Development Team to identify and showcase the development potential for the Little Tokyo/Arts District Regional Connector station site. With the completion of the Regional Connector in 2022, this station will serve as the gateway to the Little Tokyo and Arts District communities for thousands of visitors each day. Despite this locational advantage, Metro's Joint Development site is a challenging development prospect due to its small size and the structural and infrastructural constraints arising from the underground Regional Connector Station. To innovate beyond these constraints and harness the extensive potential to foster a dynamic, community focused, and transit -connected destination, the team engaged in local outreach efforts and worked with Metro to create the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station Opportunity Overview (00) and Request For Interest and Qualifications (RFIQ), which synthesizes Metro's and the communities' goals, outlines the physical constraints of the site, and illustrates the possibilities to attract innovative ideas and projects for joint development. The 00 and RFIQ were then shared with interested developers.

Served as project manager for an EIR for the City of Santa Monica to evaluate the reconfiguration of a 14.7-acre parcel known as "City Yards," with new buildings and streetscape and enhanced sustainability features. The project is located within an industrial use zone across from the Bergamot Arts Center. Historically, the project site was used for clay mining operations until the City of Santa Monica acquired the project site in 1947 for a new municipal landfill, which resulted in subsidence. The same buildings constructed in the 1940s have continued to house the City's maintenance operations, resulting in inefficient use of space and on -site circulation as more city operations functions were added over the years. The Master Plan seeks to reconstruct the City Yards with new buildings in a new configuration to meet the needs of the City, optimize on- and off -site access through an improved streetscape, and enhance environmental sustainability. One of the challenges of the Master Plan was how to phase the project to keep operations of the City Yards ongoing during construction over a 10-year period. While the City initially only sought approval for Package A, which included the first three phases of construction, the comprehensive EIR assessed all 10 phases of construction. Impacts were assessed at a project level in order to minimize the need to do multiple CEQA documents for subsequent phases, and for defensibility of the analyses overall so that cumulative impacts were properly accounted for. The project was approved and the EIR for the proposed project was certified by the City's Planning Commission in January 2019.
