EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Council and the Planning Commission have identified Highway 111 Corridor (Corridor) visioning as a priority. • Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to recruit a consultant to prepare a Corridor Area Plan (Plan). Rangwala Associates (RA) was chosen and awarded a contract. • RA will introduce themselves and their approach to the Plan. Staff will give updates on Corridor projects that are in progress. FISCAL IMPACT The 2018/19 operating budget recommended $205,000 for consulting services to prepare the Plan. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Council and Planning Commission have identified Highway 111 Corridor visioning as a priority for fiscal year 2018/19. Several study sessions were held which recommended the preparation of an area plan for the Corridor. An RFP was issued in October 2018 to recruit a planning consultant to prepare the Plan. RA was chosen and awarded a contract in January 2019. The RA team consists of multi-disciplinary experts from transportation, urban design, landscape and retail planning fields. The team has extensive experience in preparing and implementing corridor plans, involving economic development, land use policy, transportation, planning, zoning and design guidelines as well as working with public-private partnerships. STUDY SESSION ITEM NO. 1 As part of their scope, RA recommended a joint Planning Commission and City Council study session to introduce their team, summarize the scope and schedule, discuss actions to be taken within the following months and field questions. Additionally, the study session will identify ongoing or current issues that might be addressed in varying degrees in the Plan. PROJECTS IN PROGRESS Currently there are three projects in progress along the Corridor that require Specific Plan amendments to facilitate them, Auto Dealership frontage and signage, Sam’s Club reuse and Marriott Residence Inn (Attachment 1). These projects are seeking to allow modifications to current standards that are being considered in the research, outreach and preparation of the Plan.
