Having successfully delivered the Rancho Mirage City Hall turf removal and landscape renovation project, The David Volz Design team was selected for the Wolfson Park Expansion project, working hand-in-hand with the city to deliver a design that meets the communities' expectations. The overall design needed to fit within the parks' existing Victorian style while accommodating new program features. Key goals and upgrades include the addition of a CV Link trail head and parking lot as well as the removal or turf and addition of new desert friendly water - efficient landscape. Proposed planting areas expand of the parks existing program to showcase desert appropriate landscape and include identification signage. Upgrades also include ADA upgrades, new picnic areas and seating, new dark sky friendly lighting, a new park monument sign, and an art pedestal which will feature sculpture created by a local artist.

ON-CALL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, CITY OF LA QUINTA NoIty11111 6 PROJECT EXPERIENCE & REFERENCE WAYFINDING SIGNAGE DVD was contracted to design a comprehensive city-wide wayfinding and entry signage system for the City of Gardena to identify ideal sign locations to help residents and visitors access important community services. DVD collaborated with city staff and stakeholders to identify city entry points and places of interest for inclusion in its wayfinding program. GIS was leveraged to visualize and analyze traffic patterns (road speeds, intersections, Average Daily Traffic (ADT), bike routes, ADA design standards, etc.) and city boundary/zoning information. A GIS -based field data collection mobile application was created to capture GPS locations and photos in the field. The app was used to accurately identify and locate existing signs and related assets as well as to verify proposed locations and sign types. Special consideration and adjustments were made for driveways and other obstructions identified in the field. Web - based and printed map graphics were created to showcase the final determinations for the wayfinding signage program. Next the DVD team developed a series of designs for both wayfinding and entry signage. DVD took into consideration City identity and history, budgetary considerations, current and effective sign design standards, and extensive staff input in the development of these designs. They were then presented to the City Council where the designs were finalized and selected. Construction documentation and details were then developed for the final implementation of the wayfinding and entry monument signage throughout the city. Lastly a style guide and a resource log were prepared and delivered by DVD to the City of Gardena in the successful completion of this project. This project was completed on time and within budget.

The Park had featured an under utilized plaza and two large fountain areas paying homage to the immediately adjacent natural hot springs and San Andreas Fault. This original design no longer served the needs of the community and needed a re -imagining. As a part of this effort, the David Volz Design team worked with the city to develop and refine a program for the park's phased development. The new program includes ADA upgrades, benches, boulders and cobble, new native landscape and irrigation, a reflective monument sign, and a grid of California Fan Palms. The Park will utilize energy efficient night lighting and no turf grass. All plant material will be adapted to a desert native, low and very low water desert landscape designed as an outdoor showcase. The design criteria emphasized sustainable practices, long term erosion prevention measures, and ease of maintenance. Aesthetic enhancements include a design that is complementary to the City's Downtown core and improvements, Palm Drive Improvements, and the adjacent Desert Hot Springs Resort. As a part of the design scope the DVD team developed three concepts featuring three distinctive design styles including Contemporary Instagramable, Desert Modernism, and Desert Biomimicry. Each concept was supported with a narrative with local architectural relevance, supporting design criteria, and character imagery to support the design. .........................

The Cypress civic leaders envisioned a citywide infrastructure revitalization program for these city's major arterials; Valley View Steet, Lincoln Avenue, and Katella Avenue. This renovation of the city's public green space improves the quality of life for residents across the city. The beautiful and creative design updates old irrigation infrastructure, enlivens the city streets, reduces maintenance costs, and lessens water requirements. This project is special and important as it sets the standards for future city beautification initiatives where drought - caused water restrictions have necessitated a new sustainable public landscape aesthetic. A new state-of-the-art drip irrigation system with intelligent controllers ensures efficient water delivery and healthy plant growth. Maintenance has been reduced with the introduction of decorative "rock" mulch beds and sustainable new plantings. The new planting softens the street aesthetic, and reduces the heat island effect.

The project started as a small "greening" project at the end of the 8th Street cul de sac. The project gained momentum as the city's leaders pushed forward an initiative to purchase blighted residential lots at the end of the street. Rick Gomez, a beloved long-time coach and youth advocate in Buena Park was memorialized through the theme and detailing of the park and playlot. "Get your mitts" his favorite saying adorns the sign behind the large baseball casting. The play equipment is an imaginative ballfield with climb -through gloves, larger -than -life bats, home plate, and baselines. There are even authentic bleacher seats salvaged from the Angels and the Dodgers stadium renovations. A special service of seven pictorial kiosks chronicles some fun moments of Coach Gomez's work with the community's youth. This inviting green space is based on everything a neighborhood park should offer. Swings and climbers slide open turfgrass. There are benches and picnic spaces, exercise equipment, and multigenerational activity areas. All accessible swing riders, close by caregiver seating, pleasant, shaded walking paths, and quick hook spaces sprinkled throughout the site. Community engagement in the park design was a highlight of the planning process. Through on-site and recreation center design workshops, the neighborhood and the community influenced every aspect of the park design. There was enthusiastic support from the extended Gomez family and many Rick supporters. ON-CALL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, CITY OF LA QUINTA ............................!

The directive for Lions Park was to remove and replace the restroom building and preserve the mature trees as well as install a new playground and retain a vintage fighter jet play structure in place. The program for users would be for ages 2 to 5 years and 5- to 12 -year-old children including universal access. The programming of the play elements and surfacing of the playground design was inspired and driven by the jet fighter and an overall aviation theme. The site was zoned with the 2- to 5 -year-olds to the west with swings with accessible seating for all, springers and small playhouse within rubber surfacing and a planter separation to a sand lot with sandcastle, table, and digger within as added play elements for toddlers. The 5- to 12 -year-old area utilizes the renovated jet plane and a 2 towered play structure with several climb and interactive elements. The aircraft carrier rubberized surfacing pattern in between the structure and jet lent the deck of the aircraft carrier to be utilized as a runway for a zipline feature that allows the users to imagine flying over the deck. Additional program elements are swings and accessible seesaw and round -a -bout for all completing the playground. The mature tree canopies allowed families to have instant shade provided while their children engaged the site. ............................i Client: City of Costa Mesa : • Reference: : • Hector Soriano ; Associate Engineer ; (714) 754-5045 ; hector.soriano@costamesaca.gov ; Key Elements: ; • Universally accessible play ; equipment ; • Refurbished Fighter Jet ; • Zipline swing : • Drought tolerant plantings : • Restroom : Services provided: : • Community Outreach : • • Master Plan ; • • Construction Documents ; • • Construction Period Services ; Acreage: approximately 1 ; • Start Date: Feb 2018 ; Completion Date: July 2021 ; Design Cost: $219,415 ; Construction Cost: $2.4 million ; DVD Project Manager: Gary : Vasquez : Staff: David Volz, Paul Cassar, Luis : Pedraza, Dana Bull : Subconsultants: DMS : Consultants, Design West ; Engineering ; .............................

Strong symmetrical forms of the ocotillo, golden barrel cactus, and agaves were selected for their interesting sculptural forms. The cool greens and blues of the succulents are complemented by the reds and yellows from the firecracker penstemons, red bird of paradise and lantana. These plants are thoughtfully set in and around meandering drifts of rock cobble, decorative gravel, and decomposed granite running the length of Miles Avenue medians. The waves of cobble and rocks are accented by selected boulders that are carefully set into the landscape to enhance this planting scheme. Lastly, the deep wine, charcoal and silver colors of the rocks were selected as the color palette to create an existing and striking design. ...........................

Many years ago, the facility was state of the art for its time. An artist designed fence enclosure surrounds two paddocks, one for large dogs, one for small. These spaces were popular with the dog loving community in the downtown area for two decades. The drought restrictions and deteriorating infrastructure led to a loss of turf ground cover and the facility became a dust bowl. A committee of community leaders, stakeholders and the Mayorworked with the public works department and the design team to plan a complete makeover of the facility. New ADA access and seating areas were added. New shade trees in rock and boulder protective islands were designed and new turf sod was placed over the newly upgraded irrigation system. Innovative and creative application of the water reduction mandates allowed for a large turf grass allotment within the dog park enclosure. By lowering water use on other areas of the city hall campus net water use was calculated to be reduced even with a sufficient supply for the new high -use turf. With approval of the water district, the project was able to move ahead. The park with new dog bone benches, doggie cooling stations, new paved walks and lots of shade is once again a destination for the Palm Springs dog loving community. ............................, Client: City of Palm Springs ; Reference: Marcus Fuller, MPA, PE, PLS Assistant City Manager/City ; • Engineer (760) 322-8380 ; Marcus.Fuller@palmsprings-ca. ; : gov .

This Long Beach park was a featured stop on the state park operations annual tour of premiere park facilities. Our play space design philosophy is built on the perspective of a kids -eye -view. Adventure, surprise, familiar and challenging settings, and themes, memorable spaces. Kids may not know the proper name of the park, but they know that there is a special play lot at airplane park, rocketship park, baseball coach park, train park, and tree house park. The goal is to create an immersive environment that will engage guests and create lasting memories. We recognized the importance of providing for multi -generational intermingling, on the play lot, as caregivers overseeing the play space and for adults a calm, shaded comfortable surveillance spot to enjoy the space at the park. Our play area design reputation has lead to collaborations with all -access advocates and organizations. We have designed several park play environments as the lead landscape architect for Shane's Inspiration.

Access for all is provided within the terraced natural slope of the existing park terrain. There is plenty of seating for caregivers, play pieces that encourage multi -generational, multi -fun seeker collaborative play opportunities. This is a special park, well worth a trip to this Sylmar Community Park. ON-CALL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, CITY OF LA QUINTA WORK PLAN 27 SUSTAINABILITY & LOW IMPACT DESIGN David Volz Design is committed to delivering public landscapes that are sustainable and beautiful. We embrace the principles of design that encourage stewardship of our resources, respect for the environment and creative sustainable practices. Through our affiliation with LEED's, we identify and quantify the sustainability of our designs. Our team has extensive experience with Public Works Agencies delivering storm water management practices that mimic natural hydrological cycles. We implement integrated management practices into every project. Low Impact Design development (LID) is an alternative site design strategy that uses natural and engineered infiltration and storage to control storm water where it is generated. Projects under LIDs design are uniquely site specific in their effort to reduce runoff and volume, reduce pollutants and fertilizers, and maintain pre -development surface temperatures. All of which are problematic for conventional storm water management. Key goals include reducing downstream flooding, erosion, and scour from natural waterways. Benefits of LID practices include cost saving over expensive infrastructure. Utilizing bio-swales and sunken lawns allow for the discernment and infiltration of runoff. Bio-swales offer opportunities for biodiversity utilizing native plant material that can remedy the degradation of native habitats. Additionally, LID aesthetics can enhance and beautify the built environment and landscapes by use of pervious pavers and alternative natural paving materials. A beautiful and sustainable landscape starts with a clear understanding of the client's requirements, the site and environs and a creative approach to the design process. Water efficiencies, energy use reductions, waste reduction, recycled content and localized material's sourcing can all be quantified and are an integral part of our design. Resource conservation through the use and specification of recycled and reused materials and identification of locally sourced goods are important sustainability issues. Water resources are conserved through our thoughtful low water use planting schemes, precise irrigation layout and control systems, as well as, stormwater capture, cleaning and reuse. For pollution prevention, stormwater recycling plans are embraced and integral to our designs. On-site water detention, bio filtration, permeable pavement, and many other measures are creatively incorporated into the landscapes we design. David Volz Design is dedicated to the opportunity and challenge of creating unique spaces and special places that draw inspiration from the environs and the community. David Volz Design believes the very definition of sustainability speaks of environments that are well used and enjoyed, and maintainable over time. We at DVD believe that the ultimate measure of sustainability of any public space has to be high use and enjoyment over the long term.

Our preparation for this input will include site reviews and analysis of the plans and documents related to this park site. We will gather "seed" ideas from city staff and from our own site reviews. Our team will assist in the preparation of notices and graphics to get the word out - to invite and encourage the neighborhood community to help design their park. ...................................................... QUESTIONS WE WILL ASK THE COMMUNITY AT THE INITIAL COMMUNITY DESIGN WORKSHOP • What would be appropriate improvements for this park - ; : are there enhancements that the community would like to : explore? : • What facilities are wanted and needed to support the current : and future recreational needs at this park? : • How can we best provide for access, security, and encourage : appropriate uses? : • Are there items, facilities, or appurtenances that could : require special attention or that could add to the park or the : opportunities of the site? : Is there a theme or interpretive elements that could make this : a unique recreational space? . ....................................................» These and many other questions will be asked and answered through the initial and follow-up meetings, whether in person or online, with the community. We will also bring forward social media responses obtained through electronic outreach and survey. We will begin the initial workshop with an on-site tour of the park to clearly identify the setting. To foster the "brainstorming" session, our team will introduce "seed" ideas that will encourage thoughtful responses and open the discussion for brainstorming and continued idea generation. We will look to the community for ideas about possible improvements, including ideas for enhancement, family recreation and complementary opportunities to develop the design of an outstanding park plan. The community workshops that DVD facilitates are the best medium for finding out what the citizenry desires. Allowing the community to stand in a place of ownership aids in a smooth planning process. In the long term, this ownership translates into projects that are sustained by the community.

These conceptual layouts will be presented to city staff in an idea consolidation meeting. The best ideas and themes will then be refined into conceptual plans for the community to consider. The second community workshop will be a bit more formal. The refined initial concept plans will be presented, and the ideas reviewed. We will look for agreement from the participants on the elements which will become a part of the draft master plan. Comments and input will be received to refine the park's vision and program and to obtain consensus for the proposed elements of the park. Following this vision consolidation meeting, a draft master plan and draft design report will be prepared. This plan will then be presented to the public and the Commission or Council for review and comment. Upon the city leader's direction a final master plan will be prepared. The Master Plan, which will be the focus of our planning efforts, will be the culmination of the community's ideas being honed into a final graphic representation of the best development strategy for this park. A report will also be prepared outlining the input process and describing the program and development elements. Also, a preliminary construction budget will be a part of this project report. ..................................................... • DVD's COMMUNITY INSPIRED DESIGN PROGRAM 1.

COULD ALLOW FOR ENLIGHTENED CONSIDERATION AND UNDERSTANDING? The David Volz Design studio has a robust graphic design component, and skilled professionals adept at delivering graphics and images, including immersive 3-dimensional fly throughs that communicate our design ideas before moving ahead with the project's engineering. Communication is the key to understanding. The photo -realistic renderings, computer-generated 3D models, and images of the project style, detailing, form, and function provide a clear understanding of the project concepts. Our creative and innovative designs are beautifully rendered for review and consideration of civic leaders, our collaborative partners, and the general public. Our visualizations have resulted in great feedback and design considerations, great "Now I Get It" moments, and enthusiastic approvals of concepts, ideas, and projects. The DVD team has proven capabilities for the graphic presentation of the ideas and the layout for review of the park's conceptual layout. We will prepare artist renderings, 3D fly through videos and photo realistic pictures to describe the many elements we plan to include in this development. We will ready all our renderings for social media posting and for use in city communications.
