Sutter Pointe Specific Plan – Sutter County, CA | Served as an adjunct to Sutter County’s Planning Services staff, facilitating the project’s entitlement review process among various departments. The project encompassed approximately 7,500 acres along the southern edge of the County within the commute shed of downtown Sacramento and provided for a mix of land uses including several residential villages, employment centers, and a town center. Initially, Mr. Jones’ role was to provide peer review services for the various entitlements, ensuring that the documentation prepared by the project applicant, such as the specific plan, development standards, and design guidelines, were complete and adequate and would effectively guide future buildout.
However, as the entitlement process ensued, his role evolved to writing significant sections of the project’s development regulations. This effort included writing several sections of the project’s Zoning Code, as well as providing significant input on the makeup and framework for design guidelines and development regulations.
Regional University Specific Plan – Placer County, CA | Vance’srole was to assist the project manager with the county’s entitlement review effort for a master-planned community in western Placer County. The 1,100-acre project consisted of a university on 600 acres and an adjoining 500-acre, mixed-use, planned urban development. Under the direction of the county’s planning staff, Mr. Jones worked collaboratively with the project applicant to create the development standards for the design of a University Town Center, located adjacent to the university. In this role, he helped direct the location and orientation of land uses that would result in a high-density/intensity urban core that would be supported by the university. This included a retail town center along the university’s eastern edge and a central promenade on which the Town Center and adjoining residential neighborhoods would be organized. Further, he developed the development standards and design guidelines to ensure that the University Town Center would develop as envisioned.

These roundabouts were combined with revised parking layouts that help offset the loss of roadside parking from the roundabout footprints and potential safety enhancements such as roadside pedestrian buffers.
SE McCarran Boulevard Widening and Rehabilitation, RTC | Reno, Sparks, Nevada This project involves the widening of McCarran Boulevard from Longley Lane to Greg Street. This roadway is part of the National Highway System as well as the State Highway System. These designations dictate additional coordination with NDOT, City of Reno, City of Sparks, Truckee Meadows Flood Management Project as well as other entities. This project includes construction of sound walls, drainage improvements including large box culvert, pedestrian bridges as well as a complete geometric design for a six lane facility to fit in as much as possible in the existing right-of-way. Mickey was the laboratory manager on this project and the lead geotechnical engineering.
USA Parkway, NDOT (Sub to Jacobs) | Storey/Lyon Counties Nevada Approximately 12 miles of highway will be designed and constructed as part of this project. One of the most unique components of the project is that this section of roadway extends across virgin terrain. This characteristic creates a very different approach demand.
Material analyses for cut/fills, aggregate sources, slope stability analyses, etc., are essentially approached with limited physical constraints other than a concern for costs. Mickey was the lead geotechnical engineer for the project overseeing: exploration, materials testing, preliminary identification of borrow sources, slope analyses for both cuts and embankments, and formulation of grading recommendations. Supplementary investigations specific to structures will also be provided as the design progresses.
Terminal Way Rehabilitation, RTC | Reno, Nevada
Mickey was responsible for the formulation and characterization of geotechnical design constraints associated with the 1 + mile of pavement rehabilitation proposed for the Terminal Way, Gentry Way, Neil Road Corridor. A unique approach Mischelle has adopted when considering rehabilitation design is to evaluate the design R-Value based not only on the standard protocols but also based on the existing subgrade moisture contents. Due to the R-Value strength sensitivity to moisture content, this provides a more reasonable assessment base that considers long term subgrade conditions not just end of construction.
