La Quinta General Plan “ ” Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the November 16, 2018 Danny Castro Design and Development Director Design and Development Department City of La Quinta 78-495 Calle Tampico La Quinta, California 92253 Subject: Area Plan for the Highway 111 Corridor Dear Mr. Castro, Developing an Area Plan for the Highway 111 Corridor (Corridor) for the City of La Quinta (City) requires a team of highly experienced professionals who are progressive, creative, and can help guide the City in the right direction to achieving desirable solutions that benefit the community. Dudek understands that to facilitate the Corridor’s long-term economic viability and environmental goals, the City also needs a team that can work collaboratively to suggest alternative methods that generate revenue and consider sustainability. Dudek has assembled a multidisciplinary team that can cover a range of outreach, analytic research, planning, design, and plan implementation, including experienced planners and subject-matter experts, as well as subconsultants Pro Forma Advisors (PFA), RGA Landscape Architects, and Transpo Group, to supplement the economic, landscape architecture, and transportation planning needs of this project, respectively. The Dudek team brings an innovative project approach to this Corridor Plan that focuses on best practices for complete streets and corridors, through the following strengths: A Project Manager Who Understands Corridors. Dudek’s project manager, Shannon Wages, AICP, brings 17 years’ experience managing and directing multidisciplinary teams around corridor plans in a variety of settings and is dedicated to meeting the City’s goals for the Corridor Plan. From the Date Palm Drive Corridor Connector Plan in Cathedral City and the Route 66 (Foothill Boulevard) Special Study in Upland, to the Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan in Long Beach, Ms. Wages will draw from a depth of experience and best practices in overseeing this project. Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan i Cover Letter1 Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Innovation and Leadership in Complete Streets Planning. We have developed complete streets plans, pedestrian and bike plans, and first/last mile analyses for cities across California and the Pacific Northwest. We bring nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between land use, urban design, the public realm, and mobility, and are able to maximize their interrelationships. Outreach Tools that Go Beyond the Ordinary. With all of the Corridor planning initiatives that have preceded this effort, we must continue to build momentum and excitement for new opportunities coming to Highway 111. Because this plan is, in large part, about the public realm (i.e., the paths and open spaces that will unify the Corridor), we hope to engage the Corridor community, in the public realm, with on-site workshops conducted in fun and meaningful ways. A Local Team, Dedicated to the Success of the Plan. Dudek’s local La Quinta office and our team’s direct experience in the City brings a nuanced understanding of the City’s physical, social, and economic environment. Our work in the greater Coachella Valley provides added expertise, experience, and understanding of the broader regional role that the Corridor plays, as well as the challenges and possibilities associated with corridor planning and complete streets in an auto-oriented suburban community. Commitment to the City’s Project Schedule. We understand that the City’s 9-month timeframe for completing this project requires a detailed schedule with critical path tracking and close coordination between City staff and the consultant team. Dudek prides ourselves on delivering quality work products on time and on budget, and we will make this project a top priority. We look forward to discussing our approach with City staff and the project manager to define a work program that will best achieve the desired outcomes, continuing our successful relationship with the City.

With approximately 4,000 jobs and nearly 80 percent of the City’s sales tax revenue generated by Corridor businesses, its economic resilience is essential to the City’s fiscal sustainability. The Area Plan for the Corridor comes at an exceptional time for the planning of retail corridors, especially in suburban environments. On one hand, new emerging transportation technologies are shifting the way we move and design streets. On the other hand, the digital world is increasingly competing for our shopping dollars. The Dudek team understands that this is a remarkable time for the City to take a proactive role in shaping the future of Highway 111, including shaping the community’s travel and spending behavior within the Corridor. While technology will continue to evolve and influence our lives, some things will never change, and those include our appreciation for great places and the social connections we build within them. We understand (and advocate) that the pedestrian experience is the defining experience of cities––our memories of places are rarely shaped by our windshield views, detached and isolated. Rather, they are almost always shaped by immersion and engagement; the Corridor Plan is a chance to enhance the things that will remain timeless, revitalizing the Corridor as a great place to recreate, dine, shop, and experience the City via urban design, enabling the Corridor’s public realm to serve as the setting for personal memories, stories, and histories. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 6 Positioned for Success Many opportunities position the Corridor for positive transformation, including a “land bank” of surface parking, vacant parcels, and the new CV Link pedestrian, bicycle, and low-speed electric vehicle path. The existing over-supply of parking and vacant parcels combined with shifts in spending habits represent infill opportunity for new experiential retail facilities that will strengthen the tourism economy of the Corridor and the City as a whole. New transportation technologies, combined with CV Link, complete street improvements, and associated wayfinding, will draw additional tourists and bring multimodal access to the Corridor. Importantly, as the City takes bold moves to simultaneously reduce minimum parking requirements while accommodating more active modes of transportation, the City will be shaping travel behavior and “planning for people,” as opposed to the all-too- common tradition of “planning for cars”––a role too few cities are taking and one that will fundamentally lead to an environmentally and economically sustainable future. Highway 111 is in the midst of a corridor reinvigoration. This Corridor Plan is just another step in a series of proactive initiatives that the City has taken to transform the Corridor and achieve a unified identity, including designating it as a Mixed-Use Overlay District in the 2035 General Plan, completing the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI’s) Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) Report, and contributing to the new CV Link path. The Corridor Plan will provide the key design and regulatory framework needed to implement the Corridor’s vision. Corridor Revitalization Best Practices Developing a Corridor Plan that achieves long-term economic viability for the Corridor requires a consultant team that understands best practices for complete streets and suburban corridor revitalization from a holistic design and regulatory approach. The foundation of the plan will be a multimodal analysis considering traffic safety, vehicle, pedestrian/bicycle demands, and Highway 111 corridor operations. All private and public realm development regulations and design guidelines must work together to provide the right combination of flexibility and certainty that will attract economic investment while protecting the vision and priorities of the community. While we do not come with preconceived solutions, we do recognize that successful complete streets and suburban corridor revitalization rest on established best practices, including those outlined following. Service- and Event-Based Anchors Service-based businesses have captured larger swaths of market share as millennial consumers choose experiences over products. These uses cannot be recreated online and serve as an important draw for consumers to initially visit the corridors. Traditional retail stores can also capitalize on this market change by offering classes alongside and promoting their physical product. Movie nights, food fairs, and other public events can also activate the space to provide a successful mix of service, experience, and retail. Around-the-Clock “Retailtainment” The most successful retail spaces are active throughout the day. Retail spaces can be populated with coffee and yoga classes in the morning and brew pubs and movie theaters at night. A temporal mix of uses maximizes the use of the infrastructure, including parking, and discourages unsafe and criminal behavior by maintaining eyes on the street throughout the day. Oriented to Multimodal Uses Retail spaces oriented to multimodal uses act as destinations, not merely as errand waypoints. Multiple recent studies have found that people biking and walking to retail spend more money per-capita and are more cost effective, as they do not require expensive land area to leave a large vehicle. Golf-cart parking can also attract tourists and more residents to the corridor by making getting there an experience in and of itself. Addressing parking requirements will be important to shift travel behavior to more active modes of transportation. Opportunities for Small Businesses and Start-Ups Small businesses and start-ups employ more than half of Americans and have unique office and retail needs. Work-live spaces, co-working hubs, and micro-retail spaces can all support burgeoning local businesses. Supplying office space can also encourage those workers to utilize the retail space for a quick coffee, a client lunch, a workout, or even a night with the family. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Page 7 Balance Competing Priorities The public rights-of-way (ROWs) that contain streets are a finite and contested resource; they have multiple users, each with its own requirements for operations and safety. In addition, the patterns of use and expectation of users evolve over time. While compete streets efforts aim to maximize safety and convenience for all users within the ROW, the planning process is ultimately one of balancing competing priorities. Ultimately, the preferred plan––with its embedded complexities of safety, operations, land use, urban design, and mobility––must be perceived as grounded in the realities of hard data, community aspirations, cost, and implementability. With the CV Link providing multimodal access to the Corridor, the ultimate design and improvements of Highway 111 should complement and connect with the CV Link amenity. Give Equal Weight to Mobility and Urban Design Complete streets initiatives have traditionally been viewed as attempts to solely address mobility issues. However, universal mobility is only one of two issues that underlie complete streets. The other just-as- important issue is urban design, which crafts the relationship of the street environment with adjoining land uses and built form. Together, mobility and urban design create the experience and character of the streets. Our team’s approach and makeup give equal weight to urban design considerations as we strive to revitalize the Corridor from both a land use and mobility perspective. Project Approach Our understanding of the City’s goals for this project, combined with our expertise in complete streets and corridor planning, establish the foundation for our approach to this Corridor Plan. The Dudek team’s proposed methodology is designed to achieve a successful Corridor Plan that works to transform the Corridor into a destination for the community. In order to accomplish this, our approach focuses on the following methods. Build Off of Previous Initiatives The Corridor Plan will build on the 2035 General Plan and ULI TAP Report to further position the Corridor for long-term economic viability. The ULI TAP Report provided findings and recommendations to achieve a unified identity for the Corridor. Our first step will be to confirm the vision initiated by the ULI TAP report and further that vision through the development of a comprehensive Corridor Plan complete with a land use and complete streets plan, development regulations, design guidelines and a financing and implementation strategy. Actively Engage with the Community and Stakeholders A vital component of this Corridor Plan will be to continue the outreach momentum initiated during the General Plan and ULI TAP report to engage deeply with the community as we craft the Corridor Plan. We understand that the City’s community, including local residents and businesses, know their Corridor best, and throughout our work program, we propose to employ a variety of interactive and creative outreach tools to gather meaningful input from the community. Assemble Industry Best Practices and Case Studies Cities across the country and the world have learned how to make their streets great––some more so than others. It will be important to analyze the lessons learned and adapt them to the unique context of the Corridor. Early on in the work program, we will assemble industry-best practices and case studies for revitalizing suburban retail, reducing parking standards, adapting mobility policy for ride-share and autonomous vehicles, and other best practices to inform the Corridor Plan. Audit Current Plans Our compilation of industry best practices will result in a code evaluation tool that we will use to audit the City’s current plans for their relevance in achieving the Corridor vision. We will also determine what guidelines and development standards will enhance or inhibit economic development within the Corridor. Given that the La Quinta 2035 General Plan anticipates that the Corridor may evolve with mixed-use development opportunities, it is imperative to better understand how existing regulation could restrict economic development opportunities. Maximize Existing and Future Infrastructure The City has an amazing multimodal amenity coming to the Highway 111 corridor with the development of the CV Link, in addition to vast expanses of underutilized surface parking lots. Maximizing the utility of these Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 8 resources through strong connections between CV Link and Highway 111, in addition to a temporal mix of around-the-clock “retailtainment,” will give the City more bang for its buck, all while expanding mobility and land use opportunities on the Corridor. Translate Vision into Reality The ULI TAP report made great strides in developing a foundational vision for the Corridor. In order to bring that vision to fruition, a well-crafted regulatory approach is needed to translate visionary ideals into concrete performance standards. With a focus on urban form and the public realm, new development standards and design guidelines will ensure that new developments address the CV Link and Highway 111 Corridor, create an interconnected pathway system and open space network, and establish clear and thematic branding and wayfinding signage to unify and strengthen the Corridor identity. Build in Flexibility and Funding While this is an exciting opportunity for corridor planning, it is also a time of uncertainty about many things: changes in technology and how it will continue to impact future shopping and travel behavior; long- term maintenance with declining revenue streams; market shifts; and climate change. Cities that remain nimble and build flexibility and varied funding capacity into the structure of each plan will be better positioned to evolve and thrive amidst changes and uncertainty, so this will be a key consideration for our work program for the Corridor Plan.

This planning process will be a fast-paced effort covering a range of outreach, analytic research, and plan implementation. We have made an effort to clearly articulate the specific tasks and deliverables and organize them in a concise and streamlined way to maximize efficiencies. The Scope of Work is organized into the following tasks: • Task 1: Project Kickoff • Task 2: Stakeholder and Community Engagement • Task 3: Best Practices and Case Studies • Task 4: Audit of Current Plans and Codes • Task 5: Corridor Vision and Guiding Principles • Task 6: Land Use Plan • Task 7: Complete Streets Plan • Task 8: Development Regulations/Design Guidelines • Task 9: Financing and Implementation • Task 10: Draft and Final Corridor Plan • Task 11: Public Hearings While we believe that this scope of work is responsive to the City’s objectives, we look forward to discussing our approach with City staff and the project manager to define a work program that will best achieve the City’s desired outcomes. Task 1 Project Kickoff Task 1.1 Kickoff Meeting and Corridor Tour At the City’s direction, the Dudek team will participate in a project kickoff meeting with City staff to accomplish the following: • Meet the key team members, clarify roles, and verify that team members have a common understanding of the project and overall approach to the work program and deliverables. • Discuss and refine our scope of work and schedule, including our community engagement framework and strategy. • Collect data and establish protocols for communication and data transfer throughout the work effort. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 10 • Work collaboratively to discuss potential project pitfalls and issues and identify upfront strategies to address those issues. • Share aspirations and establish relationships that will last through the life of the project. Following the kickoff meeting, the project team will take a driving tour of the Corridor, guided by City staff. This tour will allow staff to share personal experience, background, and working knowledge of the study area with the Dudek team. Deliverables • List of data needs (PDF format) • List of key stakeholders (City to provide) • Preliminary project schedule (PDF format) Task 1.2 Project Management and Coordination Project Manager Shannon Wages will manage the day- to-day operations of the project for the Dudek team and be the daily point of contact throughout the process. With an expedited 9-month timeframe, we recommend regular biweekly conference calls with the City, inviting members of the project team to join, as appropriate. We believe that regular communication is a critical piece to achieving a highly iterative and coordinated process, maintaining momentum, and keeping the project on schedule and within budget. Ms. Wages will be responsible for overseeing preparation and review of all work products prepared by the Dudek team, maintaining quality control, and tracking and adhering to the project schedule and budget. She will also prepare meeting agendas, meeting minutes, and monthly invoices and status reports concerning the status of the work and of completed and pending activities. Deliverables • Agendas for biweekly conference calls • Meeting minutes • Monthly status reports Task 2 Stakeholder and Community Engagement Stakeholder and community engagement is a critical element of a successful planning effort. Building off of the outreach conducted as part of the ULI TAP report, we have designed a menu of tools to engage the community at different stages of the process using a variety of techniques to help reach a wide audience. Each of these techniques are proposed at appropriate milestones throughout the work program and can be further refined with City input. Each tool is described following, including when in the work program it would be employed. The Dudek team will work with City staff to compile the techniques into a comprehensive public participation program for City review, prior to implementation. The potential dates for the community workshops are also identified in the Project Schedule. Stakeholder Database and Interviews At the onset of the project, City staff will take the lead in transitioning, updating, and managing the stakeholder database developed during the ULI TAP report. Then, Dudek will prepare an email and reach out to all stakeholders involved during the ULI TAP report process to introduce this next phase in the planning process and encourage their continual involvement. Online Survey An online survey will be used to generate a broad-base of initial public feedback from stakeholders who might not otherwise participate in more intensive outreach events. Dudek will create an easy-to-use survey that will help identify key community concerns, desires, and thoughtful solutions. This data will be interpreted as a whole and stratified by the stakeholder (i.e., business owner, local resident, etc.), and will be used to inform the format and focus of targeted outreach events. Community Workshops The Dudek team will design a series of two interactive community workshops. These workshops will be aimed at facilitating meaningful community and stakeholder discussion at strategic points in the planning process, confirming and refining the direction from the ULI TAP report, shaping and comparing specific alternative futures, and helping disparate community elements and stakeholders arrive at points of common agreement. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Page 11 The Dudek team will play a lead role in designing, organizing, and facilitating the workshops, with support from City staff. Meetings will be hosted at participant- convenient locations and facilities that are approved, and arranged for, by the City. The following describes each workshop in more detail. Dudek assumes that the City will be responsible for workshop logistics, refreshments/set-up, and preparing and mailing flyers advertising the workshop. Workshop No. 1: Confirming the Vision This task will include the first of two interactive community workshops to summarize the work to date, confirm and refine the community’s vision and concept plan for the corridor as presented in the ULI TAP report, and establish priorities and preferences for implementing the Vision in the Corridor Plan. Dudek will review the ULI TAP report and host “dot voting” to have the public prioritize strategies. Dudek staff will also lead a discussion on emerging technology to determine which shared mobility strategies would be the best fit for La Quinta and CV link, and how to adapt to these mobility options. Workshop No. 2: Corridor Plan Framework The focus of this workshop will be on presenting and receiving feedback on the Draft Corridor Plan Framework. This will consist of a pop-up event. Dudek will reach out to the business community and provide food and games to illustrate the potential of community events and placemaking on the corridor. Dudek will present key components of the plan through visual representations of draft design guideline changes to solicit public feedback. Open House After the completion of the Public Review Draft Area Plan (2), the Dudek team will design an open house to present the details of the Draft Corridor Plan in a visual and compelling format in order to solicit feedback on the plan’s components. The open house will feature various stations, including vision, standards, complete streets, and implementation. Stakeholders and members of the public will be able to interact with each station at their own pace. Dudek and City staff will be present at each station to walk stakeholders through the materials, gather feedback, and answer questions. Under direction from the City, comments will be integrated into a Final Draft Corridor Plan ready for public hearing. Project Website The City will host the project website from the City’s website, and link to it from the home page in a highly visible location. The consultant team will provide content and materials to be posted to the page, with the aim of providing a thorough, yet orderly, online resource for the public and stakeholders to access the Corridor Plan, upcoming events, and to sign up for email notifications. Project materials will be posted in a categorical fashion to allow for convenient perusal. Materials may include draft and final work products, presentations, the project schedule, public meeting summaries, maps, graphics, and other related documents. The website will be promoted via all project print communications (e.g., prominently featuring the URL in project materials and communications). Deliverables • Draft and final stakeholder letter (email format) • Organization of, attendance at, and facilitation of each workshop • Content and materials for project website Physical models of the study area encourage people to see, touch, experience, and use their imaginations. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 12 Task 3 Best Practices and Case Studies Dudek will assemble industry best practices and case studies for revitalizing suburban retail, reducing parking standards and adapting mobility policy for ride-share and autonomous vehicles. This will include reviewing Institute of Transportation Engineers parking reduction calculations, American Planning Association reports, ULI reports, and recent case studies of parking reform and associated municipal code updates in similar jurisdictions. Dudek will group and review policies by topic areas, such as mobility, economic development, and urban design, and will assess them based on their flexibility to adapt to new technology or retail trends, ability to adapt seasonally or for special events, general current relevance, and policies incompatible with the updated plan vision. Dudek will provide a summary of “disruptive and emerging trends” to discuss housing and mobility options that are and will change how people live and move, and that should be considered in the updated development standards. Dudek will use this review to create a plan and code evaluation tool which will be used in Task 4. This information will also be presented in Workshop No. 1 to inform the community and stakeholders and guide them through a discussion about the most appropriate best practices for the corridor. Deliverables • Plan and municipal code evaluation tool • Summar y of best practices for use in outreach and final Corridor Plan • Summary of disruptive and emerging trends Task 4 Audit of Current Plans and Codes The Dudek team will review the existing Highway 111 design guidelines, 12 corridor-related specific plans, and applicable zoning district standards. We will also leverage the City’s available data including traffic counts, crossroads collision data, the Capital Improvement Program for Highway 111, and the Coachella Valley Association of Government’s Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project – Traffic Signal Interconnect Master Plan, supplemented by field observations, measurements, and collection of additional data (as needed). Highway 111’s 2-mile run through the study area engages and influences about 400-acres of the city’s public realm. It wields vast ability to elevate the daily experience and local economy of the commercial heart of the city. Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Page 13 We will utilize our plan and code evaluation tool created in Task 3 in our audit, linking plan and code specifications to applicable topic areas (i.e., mobility, economic development, urban design, etc.). Dudek will use this review to highlight which policies and code specifications are supportive, counterproductive, or in need of minor technological updates to implement the vision and priorities as confirmed in Workshop No. 1 in the regulatory framework and mobility system of the Corridor Plan. We will also use this exercise to understand gaps in the regulatory framework and mobility system, as well as identify what is needed to implement each public policy recommendation from the ULI TAP report. Dudek will present our recommendations to the City for review and comment prior to incorporation in the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Plan and Municipal Code Audit Task 5 Corridor Vision and Guiding Principles Task 5 initiates the compilation of the Draft Corridor Plan, beginning with the drafting of the vision and guiding principles based upon the work developed during earlier phases of the project. The vision and guiding principles will address, in a general manner, all topics related to the development of the Corridor Plan area including land use, urban design, transportation and circulation, infrastructure, and market support, among others. We will prepare an illustrative vision plan that is a refinement of the Pedestrian Themed Districts provided in the ULI TAP report. The vision plan will include photorealistic simulations of the complete street network within the study area and provide illustrative examples of the redevelopment of infill sites, including the interface with CV Link and the public realm. The vision plan will describe, generally, the scope of land use and circulation concepts and establish the foundation for creating the land use or “zoning map” for the Corridor Plan in Task 6 and the complete street network in Task 7. This chapter of the Corridor Plan is important for establishing the foundation upon which all future components of the Corridor Plan will be based, and will memorialize the community-based vision and priorities first established in the ULI TAP report and refined through the community outreach process conducted in previous tasks. We anticipate one (1) administrative review of the vision and guiding principles, prior to preparing the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Vision and Guiding Principles (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 6 Land Use Plan Task 6 will focus on developing the Preferred Concept Plan for the Corridor based upon work to date, comments from the first community meeting, and staff input. The Preferred Concept Plan will serve as the “zoning map” for the Corridor Plan. The Preferred Concept Plan will include recommendations for land use changes and/or permitted use changes to address opportunities for new land uses, including mixed- use, housing, micro-retail, live-work, office, and other emerging trends in retail and housing demand. To inform this effort, PFA will evaluate proposed alternative development typologies from a fiscal perspective. Taking a high-level approach, PFA will utilize revenue and cost factors allocated based on an equivalent dwelling unit basis to estimate each development’s impact on the City’s General Fund. For each development type, the number of households, jobs, and property, transient-occupancy, and sales tax will be modeled, as appropriate, to provide a more accurate understanding of their relative impact. The analysis will also identify potential capital or other one-time costs triggered by the Preferred Concept Plan. With cost and revenue estimates in hand, we will estimate the net fiscal impact to the City’s General Fund and other agencies to verify the selected development prototypes do not adversely impact the City. With this information, the Dudek team will be able to verify that the proposed land use plan will support the fiscal goals and needs of the City for the long-term economic sustainability of the Corridor. We anticipate one (1) round of administrative review of the land use plan prior to preparing the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Land Use Plan (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 14 Task 7 Complete Streets Plan Transpo Group will utilize technology such as drones in order to capture a full understanding of the corridor operations. The analysis will also consider future multimodal transportation needs with anticipated growth, as documented in the 2035 General Plan. The complete streets plan will address Highway 111 and its intersecting streets and paths within the City, including Avenue 48, Washington Street, La Quinta Center Drive, Adams Street, Auto Center Way, La Quinta Drive, Dune Palms Drive, Jefferson Street, and the CV Link. The results of the analysis will be a multimodal Complete Streets plan that provides recommendations for roadway segments and intersections along Highway 111. Transpo Group will consider improvements within the existing ROW and improvements that could be implemented as part of future development. Potential complete streets recommendations for the Highway 111 may include: • Converting existing travel or turn lanes to bicycle lanes/facilities based on the ability to accommodate future vehicular traffic within a narrower cross-section; • Improving the connectivity between Highway 111 and CV Link; • Widening of sidewalks and medians; • Providing transit priority and dedicated bus lanes; • Enhancing bus stops with amenities, transit information, etc.; • Adjustments to signal timing and phasing; • Improving pedestrian facilities with curb extensions, curb ramps, islands, well-marked crosswalks, leading pedestrian intervals, etc.; and/or • Consideration of intelligent transportation systems to provide more efficient operations of the corridor and communicating information. Transpo Group will work with City staff and the project team on the recommendations for the complete streets plan, and provide an administrative draft for one (1) round of comments prior to inclusion in the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Complete Street Plan (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 8 Development Regulations and Design Guidelines This task will focus on developing the regulatory framework for the Corridor Plan that works to implement the land and complete streets plan. The regulatory framework consists of land use and development regulations, as well as design standards and guidelines, to guide development and public improvements in a manner that achieves the community’s vision for the plan area. Task 8.1 Land Use and Development Regulations Following completion of the land use and complete streets plans, Dudek will prepare land use and development standards for the plan area. The land use and development standards will include regulatory elements to implement the vision, guiding principles, and a land use plan. Areas of particular emphasis include: • Zoning for new uses, including experiential retail and “retailtainment”, mixed-use, housing, micro-retail, live-work, office, etc.; • Zoning for food trucks and other temporary uses; • Maximum and shared parking standards; • Loading and unloading for rideshare and eventual autonomous vehicles; • Regulations for the operation of dockless bikes and scooters; and • Other special development or reuse requirements. • We anticipate one (1) round of administrative review of the development regulations prior to preparing the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Land Use and Development Regulations (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 8.2 Corridor Branding and Design Guidelines The Dudek team will prepare a corridor branding program and associated design standards and guidelines for the private and public realms in the plan area. The private realm consists of all privately developed sites, buildings and associated improvements. The public realm consists primarily of Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Page 15 the publicly owned street ROWs and other publicly accessible open spaces, such as parks and plazas. The design guidelines and standards will facilitate both realms working together to foster developments and streetscapes that will achieve a quality, durable, and sustainable urban form. The branding program will focus on consistent wayfinding and landscaping based on the feedback gathered in Task 2, Stakeholder and Community Engagement. Additionally, Dudek will explore artistic built structures as alternatives to live landscaping, where appropriate (i.e., shade structures), and vet these alternatives during outreach tasks. Areas of particular emphasis include: • Private Realm • Building placement and orientation • Access, connectivity, and parking • Landscaping and shade structures • Fences and walls • Sustainable site and building design • Building massing and articulation • Facades and frontages • Building materials • Signage and lighting • Key sites and intersections • Public Realm • Street furnishings and amenities • Landscaping • Public art • Public spaces • On-street parking • Street-specific standards and guidelines We anticipate one (1) round of administrative review of the corridor branding and design guidelines prior to preparing the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Corridor Branding and Design Guidelines (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 9 Corridor Plan Financing and Implementation Once the preferred concept plans have been developed, the Dudek team will work with City staff to create a detailed, step-by-step Financing and Implementation Strategy. This strategy will address likely funding and financing sources and phasing, as well as identify the key actors responsible for overseeing construction/execution of each item. The consultant team will provide infrastructure cost estimates. This strategy will examine the viability of the full array of funding sources (e.g., including development impact fees, infrastructure financing district, business improvement districts, the capital improvement program, and other sources) that could be used to pay for improvements, either up front or over time through debt financing. This list of funding sources will also include federal, state, regional, and local grant funds to help pay for specific improvements. The economic consultant will demonstrate, through a nexus study, the justification for infrastructure, mobility, and public realm improvements and fees associated with new development. The strategy will also address any programmatic actions the City can undertake to further facilitate investment in the Plan Area. We anticipate one (1) round of administrative review of the Corridor financing and implementation strategy prior to preparing the Draft Corridor Plan. Deliverables Administrative and Draft Corridor Financing and Implementation Strategy (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format). Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area PlanPage 16 Task 10 Draft and Final Corridor Plan Task 10.1 Draft Corridor Plan Responding to City comments on the Administrative Draft Corridor Plan prepared in Tasks 5–9 will result in a Draft Corridor Plan. The Corridor Plan document will be provided in both Word and In Design formats and be highly illustrative, concise, and user-friendly for easy interpretation and accessibility by City staff, future applicants, and the public. We will make one (1) round of edits and prepare a Public Review Draft. We will present the Public Review Draft at a community open house, as described in Task 2, for review and comment. We anticipate that the Public Review Draft Corridor Plan will include the following chapters; however, we will work with the City to draft the document in a format and structure preferable to the City: • Introduction and Planning Process • Corridor Vision and Guiding Principles • Land Use and Complete Streets Plan • Development Regulations • Branding and Design Guidelines • Financing and Implementation Program Deliverables Public Review Draft Corridor Plan (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 10.2 Final Corridor Plan Based on public comment during the open house and direction from City staff, the consultant team will prepare the Final Corridor Plan for public hearing. Deliverables Final Corridor Plan (thirty (30) bound color copies and PDF format) Task 11 Public Hearings Dudek will attend one (1) Planning Commission and up to two (2) City Council Public Hearings for adoption of the Final Corridor Plan. Dudek will provide a presentation and information for the staff report, and any meeting materials, as requested by City Staff. Deliverables Public hearing presentation and materials (print and PDF format) Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Page 17 5 Schedule/Timeline Dudek has prepared an aggressive project schedule to meet the City’s 9-month timeframe for this project to arrive at public hearings and adoption in September 2019. The project allows for three (3) drafts and a final version of each work product, with two-week timeframes for City review of each draft deliverable. In order to simplify staff review and create project efficiencies, we propose submitting individual plan chapters to the City for review upon completion of each chapter, rather than waiting to submit a completed Draft Corridor Plan all at once. In this way, the Dudek team will be able to progress on subsequent chapters in the plan during City review periods and recognize schedule efficiencies while allowing for adequate City review times and coordination. Public outreach will punctuate the project schedule at strategic milestones as shown in Figure 2. While we believe this schedule is responsive to the City’s needs, we are happy to work with City staff to make any desired adjustments. Prior to project kickoff, Dudek will prepare a detailed schedule in Microsoft Project with critical path milestones, so all members of the project team have a clear understanding of product deadlines.

The reservoir, a two-zone booster pump station, an on-site generation sodium hypochlorite facility, and the addition of two new wells will help maintain critical demand for household, fire flow, and emergency needs. The addition of this tank and booster pump station allows the City of Coachella to take existing reservoirs off line for inspection, recoating, and repair. 6840 WRP7 Percolation Ponds, Coachella Valley Water District, Coachella, California. Served as site civil engineer for design of the 58-MG percolation pond. The project goal was to maximize the disposal capacity of onsite percolation ponds, thereby minimizing the District’s reliance on offsite percolation ponds which are subject to restrictions during wet weather events. A comprehensive geotechnical investigation was prepared to analyze hydraulic conductivity of the surface soils, general geology, and local hydrogeology. This analysis identified soil clogging and subterranean groundwater barriers as restrictions to the onsite percolation rate, with varying expected percolation rate across the plant site. This evaluation was developed into a percolation pond improvement strategy that includes reconfiguring the ponds to maximize percolation capacity and onsite storage volume. Additionally, the percolation ponds were interconnected with overflow pipes and distribution piping was modified to maximize the flexibility of pond operations. 8122 WRP No. 7 Biosolids Upgrades Project, Coachella Valley Water District, Coachella, California.

It remains a visible outpost of Chicano urbanism, displaying glimpses of vibrancy despite long-standing physical and social impediments. Its continued longevity amid urban disinvestment speaks to the resourcefulness of its residents, the resilience of its businesses, and the strength of its social fabric. South Colton’s residents have utilized a do-it-yourself approach to creating Complete Streets, with such features as cactus planted in a parkway, a makeshift street basketball hoop, a hand painted sandwich board, and other physical interventions. Residents with few resources have used their imagination and resourcefulness to alter landscapes in ways that are intimate in scale and personal in nature. The South Colton Livable Corridor Plan aims to strengthen these grassroots tactical urbanist approaches and create guidelines and policies that will provide a regulatory framework for formalizing Complete Streets. Dudek is providing urban design, land use planning, market analysis, and community outreach services for the effort. A critical goal of the outreach effort is to proactively engage traditionally underserved groups (women, the elderly, youth, racial minorities, and immigrants). In addition, a physical model of the South Colton study area serves as an interactive platform through which to encourage people to see, touch, experience the model and use their imaginations to craft a vision of what the neighborhood could be. Combining design thinking with model-building activities, our team has developed tactile tools for urban inquiry for underserved communities. Citywide Complete Streets Plan Client: City of Burbank Dates: 2018–Present The City of Burbank is in the midst of an urban reinvigoration, including new housing, jobs, and downtown vitality, as well as major investments in transportation infrastructure. An ambitious and successful Complete Streets policy aims to provide the glue for its urbanist tradition, cement its position as the media capital of the world, and enable a public realm worthy of its global stature. Appendices Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Our approach in developing the plan recognizes that streets are forever the theatre of life––all inhabitants in the surrounding space, regardless of age, ability, income, or race, have a right to safely occupy and utilize them. Complete Streets are streets for everyone, designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. The citywide plan will address first–last mile linkages to transit and safe routes to school, as well as place special emphasis on safe and convenient use in disadvantaged communities. Further, our outreach approach emphasizes outdoor engagements and walking tours to communicate concepts by drawing on people’s own enjoyable experiences in places with connected, walkable street environments. Date Palm Drive Specific Plan Client: SCAG/City of Cathedral City Date: July 2011–July 2012 The Date Palm Drive Specific Plan involved the con- solidation of 15 existing specific plans that abut Date Palm Drive and an update of their provisions to ensure that future development and improvements further the community’s vision for the Date Palm Corridor. Devel- opment along Date Palm Drive was regulated by many outdated specific plans, creating a piecemeal develop- ment pattern with varied streetscapes and structures along the 6-mile corridor. Replacing the existing spe- cific plans with one Specific Plan for the entire corridor lead to streamlined development standards to facilitate a comprehensive and economically vibrant corridor. The Date Palm Drive Specific Plan serves as a tool for planning public improvement projects, promoting co- hesive development, and streamlining the evaluation of development proposals. It also regulates new construc- tion on private property through goals and policies, development standards, and design standards and guidelines. Buildout of the Specific Plan could include up to 8,964 multifamily dwelling units, as well as 4.5 million square feet of commercial, 720,000 square feet of office, and 2 million square feet of industrial uses. linkBURBANK TOD Vision Plan Client: City of Burbank and Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport Authority Dates: 2013–2015 Dudek’s project manager, Gaurav Srivastava led a team of transportation planners and urban designers to develop a transit-themed plan for 540 acres of airport- adjacent land in the City. The plan addresses mobility, land use, and TOD opportunities. The industrial parcels adjoining Bob Hope Airport in the City are the best transit-served parcels in the region. The Golden State District will, in the coming years, increasingly benefit from opportunities ushered in by growing local, regional, and high-speed transit networks. The study area is zoned primarily industrial. Citywide Complete Streets Plan, Burbank Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Appendices Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the The plan recasts the notion of what is and is not considered “industrial” and extends the traditional understanding of TOD by including air travel as a key component of transit networks to stimulate the local economy. The study explores how best to take advantage of rail and airport adjacencies to attract the next generation of creative, clean, and innovative uses. The public process included multiple community workshops held near the Airport Terminal, with discussions that focused on the future of the B6 parcel and the Terminal Replacement project. The discussions were held prior to Measure B’s passage in November 2016 and played a role in highlighting the need for Terminal Replacement. The project maintained a website that served as a portal for receiving input and disseminating information (https:// linkburbank. wordpress.com/). Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan Client: City of Long Beach Date: 2016–Present In December 2015, Boeing Corporation closed the C-17 Globemaster III manufacturing facility in Long Beach, California, leaving vacant a distinctive site with 1.1 million square feet of enclosed production space directly adjacent to Long Beach Airport. The closure resulted in the layoff of approximately 1,600 workers and caused an additional workforce reduction of approximately 3,800 positions across the supply chain. The size and positioning of the facility created a unique opportunity for the City of Long Beach to strengthen the region’s industry clusters by attracting a high volume of compatible economic activity to the site. In 2015, the Department of Defense’s Office of Economic Adjustment awarded the City of Long Beach a Defense Industry Adjustment grant to develop and implement linkBURBANK TOD Vision Plan Land Use and Mobility Plan, Long Beach Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan Bus Stop Major Avenue (Existing/Potential Locations) Minor Avenue (Existing/Potential Locations) Neighborhood Connector (Existing/Potential Locations) Local Street (Existing/Potential Locations) Pedestrian Connection (Existing/Potential Locations) LEGEND Potential Green CorridorAlong Railroad Right-of-Way Retail Center Industrial Use Areas Specific Plan Boundary Major Avenue (Existing/Potential Locations) Minor Avenue (Existing/Potential Locations) Neighborhood Connector (Existing/Potential Locations) Local Street (Existing/Potential Locations) Pedestrian Connection (Existing/Potential Locations) LEGEND Business Park Zone Community Commercial Zone Industrial Commercial Zone General Industrial Zone Open Space Runway Safety Zone Overlay Cherry Avenue Corridor Overlay Land Use Concept Zones Street Classifications Aviation-Related Use Overlay Cherry Ave.TempleRedondoCalifornia Ave.E 31st St. l 0 750 1,500 N 2,250 Proposed Street Infrastructure Business Park Zone Enhanced ConnectionsAcross Cherry Ave. Cherry Avenue Commercial Cherry Avenue Street Improvement Public Open Space forCommunity Gathering Appendices Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the a comprehensive economic transition program, which the City used to commence preparation of the C-17 Transition Master Plan. In 2016, Dudek assisted the City in completing Phase 1 of the C-17 Transition Master Plan, which consisted of Economic Development Planning, and Land Use and Infrastructure Planning. In November, 2017, Dudek commenced preparation of a Specific Plan for Phase 2 of the C-17 Transition Master Plan to refine and implement the economic, land use and infrastructure planning performed in Phase 1. The Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan (GCSP) provides a framework for the development and improvement of the former Boeing C-17 site, Cherry Avenue corridor and surrounding area. The Draft GCSP has been completed and includes a vision, goals and policies; integrated land use and mobility plan with a complete streets network; development regulations and design guidelines; and an implementation program to direct future development within the plan area. Each of these components is being prepared through ongoing support and participation from the community. Dudek has facilitated four workshops to present the components of the Plan at each milestone, drawing members of the business community, residential neighborhoods, property owners and interested residents of Long Beach for each workshop. Dudek has incorporated community comments into the Plan at each stage, so that the Plan reflects the vision of the community. Dudek is also preparing a joint programmatic Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report in full compliance with CEQA and NEPA. Western Avenue Complete Street Vision and Implementation Guidelines Client: SCAG and City of Rancho Palos Verdes Dates: 2012–2015 In 2012, the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and Council District 15 of the City of Los Angeles embarked on a joint community-led effort, funded by SCAG, to improve Western Avenue for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. Western Avenue is the primary corridor of the South Bay, Palos Verdes Peninsula, and San Pedro communities. Gaurav Srivastava managed a study that focused on a 2-mile segment that has historically provided services, amenities, connectivity, and residential opportunities to the region. The core recommendations of the Vision Plan were twofold. First, to elevate Western Avenue into a Complete Street, where the needs of all users (car, pedestrian, bicycle, and transit) are equally met. Second, to update the nature of development along the Western Avenue Complete Street Vision and Implementation Guidelines Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Appendices Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the corridor and reverse the relationship that buildings and surface parking have with the street. In addition, the plan recommends phased implementation strategies recognizing that streets evolve over several years through deliberate, incremental steps. In Phase 2, Mr. Srivastava led the development of design guidelines via a subsequent contract with SCAG. The guidelines provided a regulatory framework and guidance for new developments to be consistent with the vision plan. Accurately depicting street character was an important consideration in developing the vision and sharing concepts with members of the public. Renderings and street sections were crafted in three dimensions to show the relationship of the built environment and street wall to streetscape improvements. Vision Downtown Client: SCAG and DLANC Dates: 2012–2015 Gaurav Srivastava served as project manager for a downtown Los Angeles visioning effort on behalf of the DLANC and SCAG. DLANC is the first Neighbor- hood Council in Los Angeles that has sought to craft its own vision for the future. Mr. Srivastava directed Vision Downtown, an effort that provides guidance to DLANC’s board as it performs a review and advisory role for projects within its jurisdiction. Part vision and part manifesto, Vision Downtown provides a communi- ty-endorsed set of goals that offer input to City leaders and assembles in one place a comprehensive set of aspirations that embody the vision of this generation of the Downtown community. The Vision plan placed a special emphasis on addressing Downtown’s public realm and mobility and made specific recommendations to transform downtown streets into Complete Streets, acknowledging their hierarchy of use and activity. Recommendations ranged from expanding Downtown Los Angeles’ proposed street car beyond Broadway into transit-poor districts, activating the alley network, introducing shared streets in the most heavily pedestrian areas of the Fashion District, and expanding protected bicycle lanes throughout downtown. Recommendations of the Vision plan form the basis of mobility and public improvements being developed via the ongoing downtown community plan updates. Vision Downtown places a special emphasis on addressing Downtown LA’s public realm and mobility. Appendices Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Central City East Vision Client: City of Los Angeles and Central City East Association Dates: 2014–2015 Central City East (CCE) lies in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, adjacent to and overlapping Skid Row, the nation’s largest cluster of homelessness. This study addressed a growing concern: “How does a downtown industrial– residential district address the dramatic changes that are occurring at its doorstep, while also being subject to long-standing policies of ‘containment’ that view CCE as the primary location of homeless services for the entire region?” Gaurav Srivastava led a visioning effort that focused on streetscapes, urban design, and economics––issues that are often placed on the back burner whenever the future of CCE is discussed. The visioning effort explores policy options that would promote a diverse, blue–white collar, multigenerational, and multiuse neighborhood that continues to provide shelter and services to those that are in need, as well as remaining committed to being a welcoming and inclusive place, like it has since its origins. The visioning effort recognized the importance of engaging underserved and marginalized members of the community and conducted proactive outreach so that voices across the entire spectrum of stakeholders, including residents, homeless, property owners, service providers, and business owners, were heard. The plan placed a special emphasis on Complete Streets within CCE. Streets here acquire a layer of significance beyond the typical. Residents of single- room occupancy housing (the only housing allowed in CCE) and the unsheltered homeless necessarily spend a disproportionate amount of time in the streets of CCE. Short of interior living space, the streets and public realm of CCE play a non-traditional role that welcomes and accommodates a neglected populace that is primarily on foot or on bicycles. Microsoft Campus Refresh Master Plan Client: Microsoft Dates: 2015–2017 Gaurav Srivastava served as lead urban designer for Campus Refresh, a 72-acre proposed redevelopment of Microsoft’s historic campus in Redmond, Washington. The effort is a comprehensive master planning effort driven by the singular goal of creating the best campus in the world. The development program proposes 3 million square feet of new construction spread over 18 new buildings. Campus Refresh proposes an ambitious bike-and- walk-only master plan for Microsoft headquarters that manifests its vision for its physical legacy, its aspirations for the built environment, and the programmatic requirements of its business operations. The master plan prioritizes pedestrians and bicyclists over automobiles. It is conceived to be a park-once campus where intra-campus, short-hop transportation is served predominantly by walking and bicycling. Active transportation will serve as the backbone of campus connectivity to establish precedent-setting goals to promote public health via campus planning. Access to individual buildings are provided by a network of walk streets that create the circulation and public realm framework for the campus. Golden State Specific Plan and High-Speed Rail Station Area Plan Client: City of Burbank Dates: 2016–2017 Gaurav Srivastava served as project manager for the Golden State Specific Plan and High-Speed Rail Station Area Plan in the City. The Golden State District is a 640- acre commercial–industrial area adjacent to Burbank Airport and the City’s proposed high-speed rail station. Mr. Srivastava led a three-pronged planning effort that included a station area plan in anticipation of the City’s proposed high-speed rail station; the Golden State Specific Plan; and an environmental impact report. The plan leverages the Golden State District’s current and future infrastructure assets and explores mechanisms to maximize the City’s housing supply, diversify land uses, and solidify the City’s undisputed role as the media capital of the world. The planning effort made use of multiple outreach tools including design charrettes, online engagement (www.goldenstatedistrict.com), physical models, and walking tours.

Additional Project Experience City of La Quinta Street and Pedestrian Experience Avenue 58 and Eisenhower Drive Rehabilitation In an effort to rehabilitate and convert older Riverside County streets to conform to current city standards, the City contracted with Dudek to perform field investigation of current street conditions (including sub grade and structural section analysis). The project areas had an insufficient structural section that required full rehabilitation of the roadways. Dudek prepared full street rehabilitation improvement plans, including design of curb and gutter, sidewalk, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps in locations where existing improvements either did not exist or did not meet current City standards. Pavement Management Plan Street Improvements The City contracted with Dudek to complete a Pavement Management Plan Street Improvements Project for several of the City’s streets. Consisting of asphalt rehabilitation, Dudek is solely responsible for preparing its Base Map for the Project utilizing a simple line diagram format that shows existing surface features, including curbs, cross gutters, utilities, etc. Dudek provides for core sampling to subgrade; utility location, leading to final design and construction document preparation; and assistance with bidding and during construction. Streets involved include Calle Tampico, Park Avenue, Avenue 52, and Avenidus Bermudas. Dudek later was contracted by the City to prepare Final Design and Construction Documents for public bidding for the resulting pavement rehabilitation plans, including the following supporting documents: Categorical Exemption, Geotechnical Investigation, Base Map, Utility Coordination, Preliminary Environmental Study Form, Hazardous Waste Initial Site Assessment Form, and Natural Environmental Study – Minimal Impact. Village Area Sidewalk Improvements Dudek was contracted by the City to provide design services for the Village Area Sidewalk Infill Improvements Project. The project consisted of a 4,300 linear feet of sidewalk and 36 ADA-compliant ramps. The project area covered missing or out of ADA code compliance segments along Avenida’s Montezuma, Martinez, Mendoza, Villa, and Navarro. Services included assessment of existing sidewalk and ramp conditions and code compliance, topographic survey of ramps and driveway areas needing detailed design, utility location and coordination; preparation of preliminary and final design plans and specifications; and associated bidding and construction support services. Details for construction items including custom ADA-compliant driveway tie-ins and reconstruction, custom ADA-compliant ramps, signing and striping upgrades for improved pedestrian circulation, and utility relocations, as well as landscape demolition, relocation, and avoidance. Highway 101 Westside Improvement Project Appendices Highway 111 Corridor Area Plan Gem of the Desert GEM DESERTof the Avenue 52 and Calle Sinaloa Sidewalk Improvements This project provided needed pedestrian improvements along stretches of Calle Sinaloa and Avenue 52 between Eisenhower Drive and Desert Club Drive in the City, including 11,450 square feet of sidewalks and 10 ADA curb ramps. The improvements enhanced accessibility and pedestrian circulation in this area of the City. Included in the project were construction of curb-adjacent concrete sidewalk, new ADA compliant curb ramps, upgrades to improve existing curb ramps to current ADA requirements, and driveway approaches on the north and south sides of the project area. Full sidewalk installation occurred on both sides of Calle Sinaloa, while sidewalk was installed only on the north side of Avenue 52, due the presence of existing sidewalk on the south side. Additional construction items included demolition of existing driveway approaches, removal of landscape improvements encroaching into the ROW, relocation of existing traffic control and directional signage, adjusting existing utility vaults to new grade elevations, and a new concrete pedestrian bus stop pad. Dudek’s engineering and environmental professionals provided topographic survey, base map preparation and ROW acquisition services, as well as utility coordination, CEQA compliance measures, and bidding and construction phase services.
