The UNSP outlines land use and development standards for approximately 400 acres near the California State University San Bernardino and University of California Riverside campuses in North Palm Desert. The original plan was adopted in 2016 and envisioned a mixed -use, walkable community with a variety of housing options, commercial opportunities, and open spaces. Since the plan was adopted, substantial development activity has occurred, and approvals have been issued for more than half of the planning area. The City launched a plan update effort, with the main focus being re -imagining and planning for the remaining 170 acres of undeveloped land. In addition to updating the land use plan, objective design standards will be incorporated into the document to provide guidance on the design of new multi -family and mixed - use development.

City of LaQuinta, CA I Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan I Page 12 i lit Iv TAB 3 - PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH INYERWEST A SAFEbuitt COMPANY INTERWEST A SA/lAW COMPANY PROJECT UNDERSTANDING It is our understanding that the City of La Quinta is soliciting proposals for professional consulting services to prepare a Master Plan for Vista Santa Rosa, a community located within the City's southern Sphere of Influence (S01). The Master Plan will guide future growth and development within the community, addressing topics of land use, housing, infrastructure, environment, and community services. Moreover, the plan shall be prepared through an inclusive process and grounded in concepts of sustainable development to ensure that the existing community character is respected and retained. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND • City of La Quinta, Sphere of Influence (S01): The City's S01 encompasses two non-contiguous areas, totaling over 8,000 acres, of which the "southern S01" is the much larger and less developed. Much of this land is currently designated for residential land use in the City's General Plan, suggesting significant capacity for new residential development. • Vista Santa Rosa: The vast majority of the City's southern S01 is generally located to the east of the City, within the unincorporated Vista Santa Rosa community. This community is home to approximately 2,600 residents, including low density and rural residential development with emphasis on an equestrian lifestyle. Agricultural use is also an important component of the community, and the area is recognized as an important producer of date crops. Residents are protective of the community's rural character in the face of development pressures. PLANNING BACKGROUND La Quinta's General Plan incorporates the City's S01, including land use policies and programs addressing the area's future should any of these lands be annexed. More specifically, Policy LU 1.4 of the La Quinta General Plan requires preparation of a Master Plan priorto consideration of annexation of any part of the southern SOL This policy's supporting programs also require that the planning process involve active community participation to ensure community character is properly addressed in the resulting plan. KEY CONSIDERATIONS Based on our preliminary research and review of the General Plan, as well as direction provided by the RFP, it is our understanding that there are some key considerations in the preparation of the Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan. • Anticipate and plan for increasing development pressures on the Vista Santa Rosa community. • Provide area -wide land use planning to promote a cohesive development vision ratherthan succumbing to piecemeal development projects and urban sprawl. • Respect and retain the rural character and lifestyle, as well as the agricultural history of the Vista Santa Rosa community. • Ensure that there is no negative fiscal impact on the City of La Quinta resulting from any annexation of land within the SOL • Prepare a community -based plan for the Vista Santa Rosa community that satisfies "good planning principles and stakeholder needs" PROJECT SCOPE It is our understanding that the scope of work should be structured as a series of phases such that the City may proceed with one or more of the phases at its discretion. The requested phases are described in more detail in RFP and include the following: • Phase 1: Community Outreach Strategy • Phase 2: Master Plan • Phase 3: Special Studies • Phase 4: Environmental Analysis and Document Preparation (CEQA) City of LaQuinta, CA I Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan I Page 14 INTERWEST A GA/lAW COMPANY PROJECT APPROACH Based on the above project understanding and our team's experience with community planning and development, we will stress the following in our approach. Provide Effective Project Management: We always strive to deliver the highest quality work product in a timely manner. We will undertake activities as needed to maintain a productive collaboration with City Staff and ensure that the project moves forward according to schedule and budget. More specifically, we will seek early concurrence on scope and schedule, provide on -going monitoring of the schedule and budget including monthly invoices, and deliver work product at key milestones for review and evaluation. Moreover, regular project coordination meetings with City Staff and as appropriate other key stakeholders will be critical to keeping the work program on -track. This approach will allow us to recognize and address any complications before they result in inefficiencies and delays. Partner with the Community: Successful planning depends on ongoing, trustworthy, and empowering engagement with key stakeholders and the broader public. To maximize participation, we will work with City Staff to prepare an Outreach Plan, including identification of key stakeholders and stakeholder groups. We will then collaborate with City Staff to actively engage the community and key stakeholders, utilizing stakeholder interviews and briefings, community workshops, and public hearings; we will also provide content in support of online engagement. Our intent is to gain a proper understanding of needs, values, and aspirations for the Vista Santa Rose community. We will also lookto inform the community aboutthe plan and process, achieve a consensus vision for growth and development of the planning area, allow for valuable feedback and evaluation of proposals and recommendations, and build support for the final plan through "shared authorship" Assess Development Capacity: Effective planning is also contextually based, considering policy, socioeconomic, and physical / environmental contexts. Therefore, we will commence with a review of relevant plans and policies, document existing conditions, focusing on the mapping and assessment of relevant attributes of the built environment (e.g., land use, mobility, and infrastructure), and provide a market study and assessment of the resources that serve the Vista Santa Rosa planning area. Relying on our background analysis and responding to stakeholder insights, we will then evaluate opportunities and constraints upon growth and development of the Vista Santa Rosa planning area. This effort will include identification of development opportunity areas and related physical improvements to the built environment. Build a Consensus Vision: The best outcomes are contingent upon a shared vision for development. We will build upon a realistic assessment of opportunities and constraints and stakeholder input to generate a vision statement and guiding principles for the Vista Santa Rosa planning area, as well as describe and illustrate a compelling and feasible scenario for its physical development. This vision will provide strong intent and guidance for more specific recommendations. We do expect that the vision for the Vista Santa Rosa planning area will promote cohesive development that respects the rural residential character of the community. Establish a Framework for Development: Illustrative plans, policies, and strategies establish a framework for development that expands on the desired vision and reinforces guiding principles, emphasizing topics that are most pertinent to the community. In this instance, we propose the following framework plans: • Land Use & Community Design to accommodate uses compatible with the community's rural history and character, while maintaining a unique and positive identity. • Mobility to build connectivity, reduce vehicular travel, and promote multi -modal mobility, including alternative forms of travel. • Infrastructure & Environment to properly service the planning area and enable future development and ensure a sustainable and resilient future. • Community Resources to help meet local and visitor demand for amenities and further enhance existing and future residents' quality of life. Set Forth Clear Development Criteria: Successful places possess a unique and authentic identity featuring a consistent quality of design based on expectations for new development projects that are readily understandable and implementable. Accordingly, we will prepare clear and objective development standards and guidelines that promote outcomes consistent with the proposed vision and framework plan, addressing both public and private realms. Development criteria will be presented in a user-friendly, graphically rich format, thereby allowing project proponents to understand expectations, while facilitating project review. Implement the Plan: Ultimately, the vision will be advanced, and community and stakeholder expectations will be met through on the ground implementation of proposed concepts and recommendations. We will coordinate with City Staff and key stakeholdersto prepare an implementation program incorporating procedures for administering the Master Plan, recommendations for supportive policy and regulatory amendments, and proposals for beneficial economic development strategies and tools. We will also prepare an Action Plan that sets forth realistic steps toward achieving the vision and recommendations of the Master Plan.

This scope of work outlines a phased approach that emphasizes community engagement, sound planning principles, and environmental stewardship while preserving the area's unique rural and equestrian character. Interwest will collaborate closely with City staff and stakeholders to deliver a plan that is visionary, implementable, and aligned with the City's General Plan policies and long-term fiscal sustainability.

As part of this effort, Kittelson completed an existing conditions assessment of transportation in the City, utilizing infographics as part of the documentation to easily convey data. Kittelson then prepared the circulation and mobility section of the General Plan Update, including the identification of existing and future needs for vehicular traffic, implementing travel paths for golf carts and neighborhood electric vehicles, and improving bicycle and pedestrian networks. The mobility element focused on expanding the bicycle and NEV network, planned to integrate regional multi -use path connections, and provided complete street policies for residents, workers, and visitors. Kittelson conducted a community workshop to inform the public and seek input for the mobility element update. In addition, adoption of Senate Bill (SB) 743, which eliminated level of service (LOS) as an impact analysis for environmental review documents as of July 2020, triggered the need for new transportation metrics to be introduced in the updated Circulation Element. The travel demand associated with the land use and circulation plan was calculated for up to three alternatives using the most recent traffic model for Riverside County (RIVCOM). To supplement the General Plan Update, an environmental document (EIR) was prepared. Kittelson prepared the transportation analysis in the EIR document, including identifying potential VMT impacts resulting from the proposed change in land uses and circulation, consistent with SB 743. City of Fontana Downtown Core Project Client Reference: Alejandro Rico, Associate Planner, City of Fontana, 8353 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, California 92335, 909-350-6558, ARico@fontanaca.gov Kittelson developed a circulation plan with substantial modifications to the downtown area and prepared a transportation analysis for the proposed Downtown Core Project. The downtown area includes the Fontana Metrolink Station and City Hall. The project consists of transit -oriented development and changes to parking and an enhanced bike and pedestrian network to invigorate redevelopment and encourage a mixed -use environment. Several concepts were considered including roundabouts at key intersections, angled and parallel parking configurations, and several bike and transit facility configurations. A key element of the plan is ensuring that bus operations to and from the transit center are not affected by local circulation network changes, and that the surrounding roadways can accommodate the anticipated increase in pedestrians and bicyclists. As such, Kittelson prepared conceptual design plans that clearly illustrated potential solutions and confirmed that they could fit within the current rights -of -way. In addition, Kittelson conducted extensive data collection, including daily and peak hour multimodal counts to confirm current activity levels, utilized the regional travel demand model to estimate future growth in activity, and conducted roadway and intersection operations analyses to identify secondary effects to the roadway network.

Key topics included improving bicycle and pedestrian access and connectivity in the city's downtown area and connecting to future stations along the planned Gold Line light rail extension. Kittelson's tasks included assessing existing multimodal transportation conditions and opportunities for private vehicles, bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users, and other modes, and developing mobility element goals, policies, and implementation actions. As part of this effort, Kittelson hosted a series of workshops and charettes to inform the public and stakeholders on key transportation issues and solicited feedback on opportunities to improve the multimodal circulation network. A series of conceptual cross -sections and road diets were incorporated into the downtown area to promote accessibility and better integration of land uses to meet the mobility needs of all users. To support the general plan update process, Kittelson prepared a transportation analysis report that included both CEQA analysis (based on VMT and other CEQA criteria) and a non-CEQA analysis of intersections and roadway segments in the city. Simultaneously with this effort, Kittelson assisted the City with preparing its SB 743-consistent transportation impact study guidelines. The guidelines included requirements for both CEQA transportation impact analysis and non-CEQA transportation assessments. As part of this effort, Kittelson reviewed recommendations for the city developed by the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) and provided a final set of recommendations for VMT metrics, significance thresholds, and screening criteria. Kittelson also developed recommendations for traffic operations and other non-CEQA analysis and developed the final guidelines. As a part of this effort, Kittelson worked with the City to develop its first Bicycle Master Plan (BMP), including infrastructure and programmatic recommendations, which will guide the expansion of bicycle infrastructure that meets the needs of the community and promotes a safer environment for people to bike. The plan's goals are to improve bicycling connectivity, access to transit, and safety for all users. Community outreach included bilingual outreach materials, public workshops, an online survey, and outreach at the City's Downtown Street Fest event. j< KITTELSON & ASSOCIATES City of LaQuinta, CA I Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan I Page 42 INTERWEST A fAMbUff COMPANY RELEVANT PROJECTS & REFERENCES M REFERENCE: INTERWEST (ONTARIO), 1500 S.

Kosmont's work involved two parts — developing a Background Analysis and an Economic Development Strategy including illustrative proformas for blended use project scenarios. The Background Analysis, included an Existing Conditions and Opportunities section highlighting key demographic and economic conditions in the Downtown San Dimas Study Area ("Study Area"), along with examining visiting trends using mobile data analytics powered by Placer.ai and observing vacant and underutilized parcels that could serve as major development opportunity sites to revitalize the Study Area. As part of the Background Study, Kosmont also prepared a Market Demand Analysis which evaluated the current market conditions and long-range potential for various land uses in the Study Area, including residential (of different densities and levels of affordability) and commercial / blended -use. Additionally, Kosmont provided financial feasibility pro -forma analyses for potential multifamily / blended -use projects on two key properties. Kosmont's Economic Development Strategy for the Study Area involved developing actionable measures to mitigate challenges and threats to economic development and achieve goals set by the City. Kosmont also identified relevant infrastructure and economic development tools and land use strategies, such as Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts ("EIFDs"), Sales Tax Assessment Revenue (STAR*)°, Development Opportunity Reserve (D.O.R.)°, state and federal grants, taxable or tax-exempt debt financing, among other tools focused on incentivizing residential blended use development. The Specific Plan was adopted in September 2024.

The Project consists of the development of a Specific Plan for a portion of Section 24, an approximately 577-acre area of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation ("Reservation") located within unincorporated Riverside County, which is surrounded on all four of its sides by the City of Rancho Mirage. The Project would provide entitlement approv- als for up to 3,138,600 square feet of commercial retail, office, restaurant, hotel, and entertainment uses, and up to 2,406 residential units on approximately 577 acres of land on the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. The Agua Caliente Tribal Environmental Policy Act (TEPA) (Tribal Ordinance No. 28) was adopted to ensure the protec- tion of natural resources and the environment within the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation by establishing standards for the review and consideration of environmental impacts associated with development of the Reservation. When it is determined through preliminary review that a proposed project may result in significant impacts to the quality of the natural environment, preparation of an EIS in accordance with the process defined in TEPA is required. The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, acting as the Lead Agency for the planning and environmental review of this Project, decided to prepare the EIS in compliance with both TEPA and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15000 et seq.), in order to minimize the duplication of environmental studies and documentation by other public agencies involved with the review and approval of actions related to the Project that are required to comply with CEQA. In preparing the EIS for this Project, Meridian Consultants examined the impacts of this proposed development, and determined that many of the potentially significant impacts could be reduced to less than significant levels with mitiga- tion. Two impacts, Air Quality and Noise, were determined to have significant and unavoidable impacts. All docu- ments were prepared in accor- dance with TEPA and CEQA. o Meridian Consultants 910 Hampshire Road, Suite V • Westlake Village, CA 91361 • (805) 367-5720 City of LaQuinta, CA I Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan I Page 47 INTERWEST A sA/l W COMPANY '\rIr1=+rlr111rri'rri'rYic, -.1I�iz4r"!rjr�� "4c.�; rirr —,r-1zrrfFlr P1:1r1 Lead Agency: City of La Quinta In 2002, the City of La Quinta Redevelopment Agency acquired the Specific Plan Area.
