ture capacity and market conditions, ensuring maximum community benefit without undue fiscal burden.
PCE brings the staffing, technical expertise, and resources necessary for this high level priority project. Monthly
coordination meetings with City staff will maintain transparency, alignment, and timely issue resolution. Our ro-
bust community engagement strategy will include workshops, targeted stakeholder meetings, interactive tools,
and outreach to ensure community input directly shapes land use, policies, and implementation.

PCE prepared the South of the Tule River (SoTu) Master Plan for the City of Porterville under Local Early
Action Plan (LEAP) funding. The SoTu Master Plan creates a vision and direction for future development
and further refined the goals and objectives of the Porterville General Plan for the SoTu area. The SoTu
Master Plan serves as a guiding comprehensive planning document that will encourage and facilitate
development on a parcel -by -parcel basis, meaning individual projects may come in and develop their
parcel without needing to annex or master plan the entire plan area. The contents of the Master Plan
include: 1) goals and objectives, 2) community design and development, 3) land use element, 4) cir-
culation element, and 5) implementation and administration. PCE also prepared an Initial Study and a
focused Environmental Impact Report for CEQA compliance for the Master Plan.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
The City of La Quinta is undertaking a long-range planning effort to guide the future of the Vis-
ta Santa Rosa community through the preparation of a comprehensive Master Plan. This ef-
fort will establish a clear framework for growth, infrastructure, land use, and environmen-
tal stewardship within the City's southern Sphere of Influence, while ensuring any potential
annexation aligns with sound planning principles and community priorities. The Master Plan
will serve as a foundational policy document that balances growth management, fiscal re-
sponsibility, and the preservation of Vista Santa Rosa's distinct rural and agricultural character.
Vista Santa Rosa is a vibrant, multigenerational, and culturally diverse community. The area is pre-
dominantly occupied by the "Family Bonds" segment, characterized by households including par-
ents with young children, adult children living with parents, and other multigenerational structures.
Approximately 20% of residents were born outside the U.S., and linguistic isolation is more than
twice the national average, underscoring the need for inclusive and culturally responsive engage-
ment. The population is relatively young (median age 35.5), moderately sized (average 3.01 peo-
ple), and primarily employed in skilled trades, service, and administrative sectors. Median house-
hold income is $72,515, with median net worth of $177,755. Homeownership is high (68.9%),
but rental burdens and housing affordability challenges exist. Lifestyle patterns indicate high en-
gagement with mobile technology, streaming media, large retail shopping, and casual dining.

Precision Civil Engineering recognizes that planning for Vista Santa Rosa requires integrating com-
munity demographics, economic context, lifestyle patterns, and infrastructure realities into all aspects
of the Master Plan. To achieve this, our methodology is built on a five -part framework:
Visioning and Co -Creation: We will lead an inclusive engagement process to develop a shared vision
for Vista Santa Rosa, incorporating community workshops, focused discussions, and digital tools to
ensure broad and meaningful participation.
Data -Driven Planning: A comprehensive GIS database will provide the foundation for analyzing ex-
isting conditions, development opportunities, and infrastructure capacity. This live, visual tool will
guide decisions and streamline the planning process.
Financial Feasibility First: Economic considerations, including feasibility and buildout analysis, will
inform land use alternatives to ensure the Master Plan is grounded in realistic assumptions and sup-
ports informed City decision -making.

zones
Strategic and Streamlined Implementation: The Master Plan will be structured as a clear, usable
policy framework with guidance and supporting policies to reduce uncertainty and support efficient
implementation over time.
Infrastructure Development and Service Plan: Leveraging in-house civil engineering expertise, we will
analyze existing infrastructure (water, sewer, storm drainage, and private utilities), project future de-
mands,and provide preliminary improvement recommendations with cost estimates and phased imple-
mentation. Infrastructure will be fully integrated into the land use plan to support coordinated growth.
Additionally, CEQA compliance will be strategically integrated throughout the planning process to
prepare a programmatic -level environmental review that streamlines future project -level approvals.
Through this disciplined, collaborative, and data -informed approach, the Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan
will reflect the community's character, align with the City's long-term goals, and provide a practical, im-
plementable roadmap for sustainable growth, infrastructure coordination, and community prosperity.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1 : PROJECT MANAGEMENT, INITIATION AND COORDINATION
1.1 Work Program: Prepare a refined work program within 2 weeks of kickoff, including scope, deliv-
erables, and schedule. Update as needed through monthly meetings. Consultant anticipates that the
in -person kick-off meeting would be combined with a city tour. Following the meeting, Consultant will
prepare the final work program.
1.2 Kickoff Meeting with Staff: Establish milestones, clarify roles, review existing documents (Gen-
eral Plan, Zoning etc).
1.3 Council/Commission Kickoff Discussion: Facilitate a joint session to launch the update, outline
process, and discuss community goals.
1.4 Project Management: Ongoing management with City staff, including schedule tracking, budget
control, and QA/QC review of all deliverables.
1.5 Coordination Meetings: Up to 18 monthly coordination meetings with staff (virtual), with agen-
das, minutes, and action items provided.
Deliverables: Final Work Program; Updated Project Schedule, Monthly Agendas/Minutes; Monthly In-
voices with Progress Reports.
TASK 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
Consultant will conduct a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the Plan Area's existing conditions
and summarize these findings in an Existing Conditions Report. This task begins with a detailed re-
view of all existing City documents that may inform the preparation of the report, including the 2035
La Quinta General Plan (with specific attention to the Housing, Circulation, Land Use, Economic De-
velopment, and Environmental Justice Elements), Zoning Codes,General Plan Maps, Annual Housing
Progress Reports, and Public Infrastructure plans. The Consultant will also facilitate meetings with City
staff and local agencies familiar with the community's socioeconomic conditions to gather qualitative
data and local knowledge.
Deliverables: Draft and Final Existing Conditions Report
TASK 3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community engagement is central to a successful Master Plan, and our approach is designed to fos-
ter widespread, inclusive participation from the beginning. Consultant will work as a partner with City
staff to plan and conduct meaningful outreach, ensuring that every voice is heard and considered.
PCE's Innovative Approach: Our strategy will go beyond standard outreach to ensure we reach
hard -to -reach segments of the community. We will prepare content for the dedicated City web -
page and social media and will also propose and coordinate unique outreach opportunities,
such as meetings with elderly residents at senior centers, engagement with youth at schools,
and direct connections with lower -income residents at neighborhood gathering spots. Consul-
tant will bring on an interpreter to provide Spanish -language outreach efforts, ensuring all ma-
terials, from social media posts to meeting facilitation, are culturally and linguistically appropriate.
Task 3.1. Community Engagement Strategy: Consultant will prepare a Community Engagement
Strategy that outlines the framework for inclusive, effective, and equitable community participation
throughout the Master Plan planning process. The Strategy will be developed in coordination with
the City and will incorporate the following key elements, which directly address the City's objectives:
Inform: Provide the community with objective information to ensure they are consistently informed
about the project.
Consult: Create dedicated channels to obtain valuable feedback on specific project decisions and
technical analyses.
Involve: Work directly with the community to ensure their concerns and feedback are understood
and thoughtfully considered throughout the project.

TASK 4. THREE LAND USE CONCEPTUAL AND PREFERRED LAND USE LAYOUTS
Following community visioning and existing conditions analysis, PCE will prepare three con-
ceptual land use alternatives for the Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan. These alternatives will ex-
plore different growth patterns and land use strategies that balance community character, in-
frastructure capacity, environmental constraints, and the City's long-term planning goals.
The alternatives will be reviewed with City staff and presented through public engagement activities
to gather feedback. Input from the community and decision -makers will inform refinement of the
alternatives and the development of a preferred or hybrid land use concept, which will serve as the
basis for the final Master Plan and programmatic CEQA analysis.
The Preferred Land Use Alternative will be the culmination of all prior planning efforts, including
the findings from our Existing Conditions Analysis, the technical data from the Market Analysis,
and the feedback gathered from previous engagement efforts. In close consultation with City staff,
the Consultant will utilize this information to develop a single preferred alternative that will serve
as the basis for the draft Master Plan. A draft will be reviewed by City staff and feedback will be
incorporated into the public draft, which will be presented to the public for additional feedback.
This public draft preferred alternative will be presented to City staff, the Planning Commission, and
the City Council for review and feedback. Consultant will also conduct a final community -wide out-
reach session to ensure the public has the opportunity to respond to the proposed plan.
Deliverables: Draft Alternatives and Preferred Land Use Report, including the land use plan, Public
Draft Preferred Land Use Report; Planning Commission/City Council Meeting (Task 3).

Consultant will prepare a comprehensive Market Demand Analysis to assess future market condi-
tions for development in the Plan Area. We will take a detailed, data -driven approach, examining
not only current market conditions but also long-range potential to ensure the Master Plan is eco-
nomically viable and attractive to developers. Our analysis will assess the future potential for a mix
of housing types at increased densities, as well as the viability of incorporating specific commercial
uses such as neighborhood retail, office spaces, and hospitality businesses.
Deliverables: Draft Market Demand Analysis Report and Final Market Demand Analysis Report
TASK 6. INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS
PCE will prepare an integrated infrastructure analysis to support the Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan
and inform land use decisions, implementation strategies, and environmental review. This task
will evaluate existing infrastructure conditions and long-term service capabilities to ensure the pro-
posed land use alternatives and preferred plan are realistic, phased, and aligned with City standards.
The analysis will examine circulation and connectivity, storm drainage and hydrology, water and recy-
cled water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, solid waste and recycling capacity, and energy
and utility services. PCE will coordinate with the City and relevant service providers to identify system
capacities, planned improvements, and physical or regulatory constraints affecting future development.
Using the land use alternatives developed under Task 4 and the market assumptions from Task 5, PCE
will assess future infrastructure demands associated with buildout of the Master Plan. Findings will be
synthesized into a coordinated infrastructure framework that identifies key constraints, opportunities,
and high-level phasing considerations. The results of this task will support preparation of the Master
Plan, inform programmatic CEQA analysis, and provide a foundation for future infrastructure planning
and implementation.
Deliverables: Infrastructure and Environmental Technical Memorandum summarizing circulation, drain-
age, water, wastewater, solid waste, and energy analyses; Supporting maps, diagrams, and tables for in-
clusion in the Master Plan and programmatic CEQA documentation

Building upon the Preferred Land Use Alternative, Market Demand Analysis, and Infrastructure Analysis,
PCE will prepare the Vista Santa Rosa Master Plan Layout. This task will translate prior technical work
and community input into a cohesive, implementable Master Plan that establishes the long-term land
use framework, development pattern, and implementation strategy for the Plan Area.
The Master Plan Layout will include a refined land use plan supported by circulation, infrastructure,
open space, and environmental framework concepts. The Plan will establish land use policies, develop-
ment standards, and design guidelines, including creative land use categories that reinforce the unique
identity and character of Vista Santa Rosa. Infrastructure capacity and phasing considerations will be
integrated to ensure the Master Plan is realistic and aligned with City standards and long-term service
capabilities. PCE will prepare a Draft Master Plan for City review and incorporate feedback into a Public
