PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Robert Ray addressed the City Council regarding agenda item Number 2 (Accessory Dwelling Units- ADUs) and questioned whether the City Attorney can find a ‘loophole’ to prevent ADUs in Compton. Mr. Ray stated that if ADUs are allowed in the City, it will create a dangerous situation and require the City to hire additional personnel. Mr. Ray expressed that the City must develop a policy whereby every City employee is fully vaccinated or tested on a regular basis to prevent the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the coronavirus and urged the residents to follow all protocols to prevent the spreading of the deadly virus. He also requested that the City develop a plan to deal with the illegal fireworks during the New year celebrations. Mr. Ray concluded by urging the City and community to work with nonprofit organizations that have been approved by the State and maintain the proper documentation regarding their non-profit status.

Benjamin Holifield, President Compton Business Chamber of Commerce, commended the City Treasurer for his financial report and presentation. Mr. Holifield commented that Screamin Eagles has done a wonderful job in removing the discarded debris from the streets and further encouraged the City Council to clean up and beautify the City--particularly Compton Boulevard, which represents all 4 City Council Districts. Mr. Holifield proclaimed that Compton must be clean, safe and friendly.

Johnnie Walker addressed the City Council and indicated that she has previously come before the City Council requesting assistance with the many nuisances and disturbances created by a residence on Tucker Street near Bullis Road. Ms. Walker noted that Foster Elementary School is near the location and there are no speed limit or school zone signs and added that cars are continually speeding through the area endangering the lives of the residents of the community.

Ms. Walker requested assistance from the City Council.

Versalle Lewis also addressed the City Council regarding the nuisance property in the 1600 block of East Tucker Street which is an illegal drug Methamphetamine House. Mr. Lewis noted that there have been many calls from the community regarding the drug sales and illegal activities at the house with foot and vehicle traffic operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Mr. Lewis urged the City Council to develop a plan to abate this problem before someone is injured or killed.

Linda Kelly, Executive Director of Fathers and Mothers Who Care, which is a nonprofit organization that provides homeless services such as food, shelter and clothing for the community residents. Ms. Kelly urged the City Council to reject the ordinance governing emergency shelters.

Ms. Kelly further noted that Project Roomkey is run by the County of Los Angeles and do not provide adequate services to Compton residents, therefore, Compton must have its own shelter to meet the needs of the community. Ms. Kelly stated that the homeless population should not be

1. required to live in industrial areas and further urged the City Council to reject the ordinance relative to emergency shelters.

Miller Martin commented that his District 1 neighborhood is having issues with illegal street takeovers in the intersection of Grandee and Stockwell and 137th street. Mr. Martin stated that he reported this activity and the Sheriff’s took over an hour to respond to the location. Mr. Martin indicated that the young people are taking over the streets and urged the City Council to take action before someone is injured or killed. Mr. Martin suggested that the City contact the California Highway Patrol for assistance.

Mark Smith addressed the City Council regarding agenda item Number 2 (Accessory Dwelling Units - ADUs) and requested that the City amend the resolution to regulate the accessory dwelling units. Mr. Smith then indicated that the City’s sewer system is already overtaxed with the current population, and any additional high-density dwellings will create an overwhelming burden on the City. Mr. Smith requested that the Council properly regulate the ADUs.

Lynn Boone commented that the ordinance concerning ADUs must be reconsidered by the City Attorney. Ms. Boone further stated that Compton is a Charter City and if there is something in place prohibiting ADUs, it cannot be overturned by the State. Ms. Boone then raised concerns regarding the water and sewer systems of the City and further stated that the City does not have a City Engineer or Street Superintendent to oversee and sign-off on the work being done in the City of Compton. She went on to state that there is no oversite for the City Council and further emphasized that Compton must have a proper and qualified City Manager. Ms. Boone concluded by referencing Section 1305 of the Compton City Charter which gives the people the right to recall an elected official.

UNITS AND DELETING REFERENCES TO SECONDARY DWELLING UNITS,

AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (Second Reading)
On motion by Darden, seconded by Galvan, the reading of the ordinance in full was waived by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Galvan, Bowers, Darden, Sharif
NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – Chambers
It was moved by Galvan, seconded by Bowers, that the ordinance be adopted.

Councilman Bowers raised concerns that the ordinance should be revised to address the concerns of the residents.

Assistant City Manager Antwine stated that the ordinance will bring the City into compliance with the State mandate. Mr. Antwine indicated that currently, the City receives 5 to 6 ADU applications per week adding that this ordinance has been in effect for two years now, and City Staff has been managing the caseload. This ordinance will allow the City to regulate the application process and effectuate the design guidelines and criteria for which ADUs can be built and allow for better consistency within the community.

City Attorney Perrodin informed the City Council and community that the manner in which this particular legislature was written, the State law supersedes the municipal General Law as well as Charter City law. Attorney Perrodin then resolved that the City of Compton must abide by this legislation.

Ordinance Number 2,341 entitled ‘AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING SECTION 30-11.2 (SECONDARY DWELLING UNITS) OF CHAPTER 30 (ZONING) OF THE COMPTON MUNICIPAL CODE TO

On motion by Galvan, seconded by Darden, the reading of the ordnance in full was waived by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Chambers, Galvan, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None
It was moved by Chambers, seconded by Galvan, that the ordinance be adopted.

Councilmember Darden noted that State guidelines prohibit the placement of Emergency Shelters in residential zones, and further questioned if the City would be in compliance with these regulations if the proposed ordinance is adopted.

Assistant City Manager Antwine explained that the proposed ordinance allows for a ‘by right’ use for the construction of Emergency Shelters. Mr. Antwine indicated that the State has put forth additional housing mandates that require cities to streamline the production of affordable housing and added that this ordinance will allow local governments to create local overlay zones and provide a special incentive for Emergency Shelters.

Councilman Bowers raised concerns that essentially ADUs can be deemed as ‘emergency shelters,’ but for profit, and residential neighborhoods would be adversely affected.

Councilmember Darden then questioned whether the section referring to emergency shelters can be removed from the ordinance prior to approval by the Council.

Mayor Sharif commented that she is in favor of homeless shelters in the City and placing a shelter in the industrial area of Compton is feasible, noting that the residents have spoken in opposition to a shelter within the residential communities.

After further discussion, Councilmember Chambers offered an amending motion to delete the sections concerning emergency shelters and approve the remaining ordinance. The motion was seconded by Galvan and approved by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: Council Members – Chambers, Galvan, Bowers, Darden, Sharif NOES: Council Members – None
ABSENT: Council Members – None

ANNUAL PLAN

SUMMARY
Staff is requesting a Joint Public hearing between the City Council and the Urban Community Development Commission for Tuesday, March 22, 2022 @ 5:50 p.m.

DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all Public Housing Agency (PHA) to develop and implement an Annual Plan. The Annual Plan provides details about the PHA’s immediate operations, programs and services and notifies HUD of changes that were not included in the Five-Year Plan.

The information that the PHA must submit to HUD under the Annual Plan, are the discretionary policies of the various plan components or elements (i.e., programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals) and not the statutory or regulatory requirements that govern these components.

The PHA’s Annual Plan provides the plans and procedures required to be consistent with the goals and objectives of the PHA’s Five Year Plan.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully requests a joint public hearing be scheduled for Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at 5:50 p.m. in the Council Chambers located at 205 South Willowbrook Avenue, Compton.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE ORDER
FOR MIG, INC. FOR PREPARATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE CITYWIDE GENERAL PLAN 2040 UPDATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ($979,683)

SUMMARY
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a Professional Service Agreement with MIG, Inc. for preparation of a comprehensive General Plan 2040 Update and associated Program Environmental Impact Report and establish a purchase order in the amount of Nine Hundred Seventy Nine Thousand Six Hundred Eighty Three Dollars ($979,683.00).

BACKGROUND
Section 65300 of the California Government Code requires the City of Compton to adopt and update a General Plan that contains all the required elements, describes the City’s long term goals for growth and development and identifies policies and programs to achieve those goals.

The City’s current 2010 General Plan, adopted in 1991, is obsolete and eleven (11) years outof-date, leaving the City without up-to-date policy guidance. The existing General Plan does not reflect the City as of the 2020’s or the new laws adopted over the past 30 years.

In 2021, the City was awarded $400,000 from the Senate Bill 2 (“SB2”) and LEAP grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HCD”) to prepare the next Housing and Land Use Element updates. The purpose of both grants is to facilitate and promote the development of more housing through reduced government regulation and increased administrative review. The Community Development Department (“Department”) had originally intended to prepare a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to update just the Land Use and Housing Elements; however, staff has determined it to be in the best interest of the City to use the SB2 and LEAP grant funds, combined with General Fund money, and prepare a comprehensive General Plan Update and Program Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) instead of just the Housing and Land Use Elements.

On February 18, 2021, the City released an RFP regarding these proposed services and advertised the RFP in various medians including the Compton Bulletin, City’s website and the National APA page.

The RFP seeks qualified planning firms to prepare a completely new General Plan, incorporating all of the new land uses, housing, environmental, traffic and circulation laws, policies and best practices related to all various elements of a General Plan and a Program EIR for the City and the unincorporated areas within the City’s sphere of influence.

Services Agreement with MIG, Inc. for Preparation
General Plan Update and Environmental Impact Report
January 25, 2022, page 2 of 4

STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The proposed new General Plan 2040 Update will analyze, discuss and provide goals and policies for the following areas:
 Land Use: Land uses that address the various needs of the city and compatibility of increased density and larger building forms adjacent to low density and other suburban densities and intensities.
 Transportation: improved safety and connections for people walking, cycling, driving, sidewalks, and taking transit
 Improved public spaces
 Housing: addressing the need for a variety of different additional housing  Infrastructure: need for water, sewer, utilities, communications and street improvements/
 Developing specific strategies for business attraction, retention, and expansion.  Conservation: Parks, recreation programming, and open space needed to support differing housing types
 Public Safety: Noise, hazards, crime prevention, meaningful techniques to engage diverse community stakeholders
 Historic Resources: preserving cultural and historic building, spaces and landmarks.

The Community Department will be responsible for fiscal oversight, program monitoring, and reporting of the preparation of the General Plan document and EIR. The proposed new General Plan will establish goals and policies for land use, housing, open space, circulation, noise, public safety and public facilities and also research and discuss historic preservation, design guidelines and market conditions for economic development.

Staff is recommending MIG, Inc. as the planning firm to prepare the City of Compton 2040 General Plan Update and EIR. The proposed schedule for the General Plan 2040 update will begin in November of 2021 with anticipated completion by January 2024.

This General Plan Update effort will provide the City of Compton with current and accurate plan that will allow the City to be compliant with all State regulations and implementation of the best practices and policies relative to land use policies. The General Plan will serve as the strategic long term policy guiding document for the City to use in making all future development decisions.

In addition to the technical preparation of the General Plan document, community involvement is critical to the success and support the General Plan will receive from the public. The General Plan is a reflection of the values and vision of the community the General Plan serves. Toward this goal, MIG will develop an Outreach and Social Marketing Plan that will announce the preparation of the General Plan Update program to the community.

The City in conjunction with MIG will promote participation in planned activities to elicit input from a variety of stakeholders in the Compton community. This Plan will outline proposed activities, informational materials, collaterals, and other communication tools.

MIG will conduct one-on-one interviews with key community stakeholders both in-person meetings or in digital format such as Zoom meetings. A multi-media campaign via social media will inform the community of important activities and milestones. All written and digital engagement materials will be translated into Spanish.

A website for the project will be created and contain information such as the project schedule and process information, ways to get involved, upcoming meetings, how to provide input, and public documents. Bilingual and highly graphic designed surveys will be created for in-person distribution and for an online platform, such as Lime Survey, and small-group community meetings will be conducted within neighborhoods to foster participation with individuals who do not typically participate at public meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total costs for this agreement is $979,683. The funding for this agreement will be a combination of the Measure P and Grant Funds. The City’s measure P will contribute $579,683.00 and the State of California SB2 and LEAP grants will contribute $400,000 combined.

The Community Development Department Planning Division Fiscal Year 2021 – 2022 budget shall be amended as follows;

Subject: Proposal to Prepare General Plan 2040 and Environmental Impact Report Dear Mr. Delgadillo and Selection Committee Members,
Compton is well situated geographically and culturally to elevate its status as the Hub City.

With easy access to the ports and regional jobs center, together with capacity to grow the local industrial base and create productive uses surrounding the Compton and Artesia Blue Line stations, the City can attract new uses to diversify and build the local economy. Regional housing demands provide the opportunity to reinvigorate the downtown and commercial districts hit hard by retail trends and COVID-19 as new mixed-use environments. City residents represent many cultures that can be celebrated through arts, entertainment, and retail/dining destinations appealing to people of all income levels. The new General Plan will help realize this vision.

MIG, Inc., is pleased to submit this proposal to engage the Compton community in planning for its future and defining strategies to achieve success through a new General Plan. This planning program will provide the foundation for initiatives Mayor Aja Brown has defined as critical for moving Compton forward, among them economic growth, city beautification, and improved health for all Compton residents.

The MIG Team proposes a community-driven process to create the new General Plan.

In addition to the experience and talents of MIG’s planners, urban designers, and public engagement professionals, we have teamed with specialist firms to address the critical issues of economic development and fiscal stability (The Natelson Dale Group), affordable housing and anti-displacement (Veronica Tam & Associates), multimodal mobility (Iteris), infrastructure needs (BKF Engineers), historic preservation (architecture + history, llc), and authentic community outreach (Urban Semillas).

For nearly four decades, MIG has been connecting people with places through engaging, contextual, reality-based planning processes. Cities we have helped achieve success include Cudahy, La Palma, Long Beach, and Vernon, among many others. We are currently leading comprehensive General Plan updates in the cities of Santa Fe Springs, Commerce, and Whittier, as well as targeted updates in Paramount, Downey, and Baldwin Park. For Compton, our aim is to produce an easy-to-use, actionable General Plan that will encourage investment.

Your aspirations and approach for this program align with MIG’s planning philosophy, and we welcome the opportunity to work with Compton. If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact me at [email protected] or by phone at (626) 744-9872.

Regards,
Laura R. Stetson, AICP

City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR 1
Over the past two decades,
Compton has shed a poor image
stigmatized by violence portrayed
in the media and by the music
and film industries to one of a
community focused on creating
a new future. The City’s strategic
location, easy access, and will
of its leaders to guide Compton
forward create positive conditions
to create a plan for the next 20+
years: the new Compton
General Plan.

Understanding
The City of Compton’s settlement history dates back to 1867, when a small band of pioneers from Stockton moved south, attracted by the opportunity to prosper in agriculture and found a town of their own. This well-organized and enterprising group incorporated the community in 1888, making Compton one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles County and a city that likely has experienced more economic and demographic change over the last 150 years than any other community in the region.

Today Compton’s agricultural roots can still be experienced at Richland Farms, where children can learn to ride a horse and how to grow food.

Richland Farms represents just a small piece of City history, with the full history told by the post-World War II growth and evolution of suburban neighborhoods, construction of freeways that connect Compton to the ports and regional destinations, establishment of a major jobs center at Walnut Industrial Park, and today, opportunities to create new transit-focused districts around two light rail stations. The community’s demographic shifts over time—from majority white through the 1940s to majority Black up to 2000 and now majority Latino/Hispanic—reflect people’s desire to continue to seek opportunity in Compton, from affordable housing to skilled labor jobs to easy freeway and transit access to jobs throughout the region. 01 Understanding and Project Approach
Map of Compton, 1926
2 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
U nderstanding and P roject A pproach
In her New Vision for Compton, Mayor Aja
Brown has expressed the importance of
pursuing a multitude of initiatives, with this
new General Plan process and document
providing the framework for:
» Stabilization of City finances
» Economic growth
» Urban beautification and street
improvements
» Improved relations with the business
community
» More efficient City programs and service
delivery
» Enhanced public safety and emergency
response
» Opportunities for youth
» Healthy city programs
» Celebration and promotion of arts and
culture
» Improved government transparency
To forward these initiatives, the General
Plan must be a community-driven plan that
expresses a clear vision and is based on
a foundation of solid data and insightful
assumptions about economic, technological,
social, and environmental trends and change.

The plan must move beyond a plan for
physical growth and preservation to one that
shapes what Compton looks to be culturally.

The plan must support fiscal goals and
community health objectives. And foremost,
the plan must be accessible to all—in
languages they understand and platforms
they can use—to provide the transparency
and accountability in decision-making
processes voiced by Mayor Brown. These are
the overarching objectives the City sets out in
the Request for Proposals.

City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR 3
U nderstanding and P roject A pproach
In the RFP, the City indicates that properties within its sphere of influence (SOI) need to be considered in the planning process, as required by State law. The Planning Area for the General Plan will include the SOI, with land use policy identifying community preferences should Compton ever
pursue annexation actions that would benefit both the
City and property owners and residents. Please note that properties within the SOI cannot be used to satisfy Housing Element requirements for adequate sites. However, the
General Plan can identify priorities for annexation that might be available for the mid-cycle Housing Element update (if annexed prior to initiating the mid-cycle update).

As follows, we articulate our proposed approach to the
General Plan based on our team’s knowledge of Compton
and based on your objectives expressed in the RFP. For
Compton, we propose a General Plan program consisting
of four phases: I) Discovery and Visioning, II) Exploring Alternatives, III) A Plan for Compton 2040, and IV)
Celebrating Our Future.

Approach
The MIG Team notes that the City’s approach described
in the RFP reflects a community-based planning approach that we have applied to General Plan programs for nearly four decades. MIG pioneered methods of creative and
inclusive community engagement as a means to craft plans that reveal the soul of a community—and that can be readily implemented given their broad public support. The entire program, from engagement to plan implementation, will be viewed through an equity lens.

For every General Plan project MIG is invited to lead,
we craft a tailored work plan that responds to that city’s program objectives, available resources, and community
sensibilities. Our goal is to create a unique General Plan that focuses on action.

Regarding the schedule, we recommend completing the
work within 24 months to maintain community focus. The
advantage about structuring a General Plan program is that no rules apply beyond ensuring the adopted General Plan addresses all State law content requirements.

One key requirement, however, is that sixth cycle Housing Elements for the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) region must be adopted by October
15, 2021; otherwise, a jurisdiction is subject to a four-year rather than eight-year update cycle. While Compton’s
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is a relatively modest 1,004 housing units (relative to assignments for similarly sized cities), we recommend that the City not rush to prepare an element for adoption by October 15. The
process for identifying sites for new housing and the types of housing the community desires, together with appropriate housing programs, requires a thoughtful and measured
community discussion. We do not believe that time will be available to have this discussion and account for the 60-day review period by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) even though the City recently had its fifth cycle Housing Element certified by HCD in August
2020. Housing law does provide a grace period, but
Compton is not eligible for this since the fifth cycle element was not adopted on time. However, we will write a Housing Element that sets Compton up for success during the entire eight-year planning period.

PHASE I: DISCOVERY AND VISIONING
To provide the General Plan team and public with a common foundational understanding of conditions shaping decisions about the future, the MIG Team will undertake a series of technical studies that will be compiled in a comprehensive background report. This report will be highly graphic and will report not just existing conditions but associated policy implications. Included will be a market analysis prepared by team member The Natelson Dale Group and a detailed
Pedestrian Realm Analysis to identify gaps in the system to safely connect neighborhoods to parks, schools, shopping districts, and other local destinations. We will initiate the public engagement process with Visioning: asking residents, business owners, visitors, and other stakeholders (who
help support the economy) to share their ideas for making Compton the city they want it to be.

The engagement activities will be high tech and high touch, recognizing that while we live in an increasingly digital engagement world, people still want to get together in
person to share ideas. And while the constraints imposed by COVID-19 may continue to limit the size of public gatherings through the summer, we also recognize that Compton
residents may not have the ability or resources to participate online. Our Visioning process—and the balance of the
community engagement program—will offer online and
in-person options, including all-Spanish language events and activities.

The program can include a “Best Stop: Compton” (or some other branding that ties into current branding programs) series of pop-ups and backyard listening sessions to
allow the community to examine and explain how the City and region have changed in the past several decades.

The activities will inspire all to imagine and understand what changes can be anticipated over the next 25 years
and beyond. Entertaining and inspiring speakers could
provide unique insights about the region’s economy, City finances, alternative mobility modes, neighborhood equity, climate change, new types of housing choices, emerging
technologies, vehicle and workplace automation, housing, and retail trends. Notably, we would want to engage former and current Compton residents in high-profile positions who want to “give back” to their hometown, as well as people steeped in the history, culture, and needs of Compton, such as Ruben Quarcoopome of Designing in Color and Ron
Finley of the Ron Finley Project.

City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR 5
U nderstanding and P roject A pproach
Informed by community engagement, including work
with a Community Advisory Committee (CAC), we will
produce a Vision and Guiding Principles booklet that
will establish the General Plan foundation.

PHASE II: EXPLORING COMPTON’S FUTURE
Building upon the background reports, the Vision and
Guiding Principles document, and community input, the
MIG Team will develop, in close coordination with City
staff and the CAC formed for this program, an Options
for the Future document to highlight an overall vision
for Compton and for the neighborhoods and districts.

Concepts will be developed to show options for
mobility—and notably the pedestrian realm. This effort
may include identifying specific focus areas expected
to be the primary locations of change.

We propose to analyze and present land use and
transportation scenarios using the UrbanFootprint
application, which includes analytical engines that
measure the environmental, transportation, public
health, and community impacts of future scenarios,
and output specialized indicators regarding existing
conditions and future scenarios. With City staff and
the CAC, we will conduct a land use/transportation
alternatives charrette, with key economic,
transportation, and design team leads, to allow for
detailed examination and discussion of options and
priorities. The key alternatives scenarios selected by
the CAC and staff will be presented at a joint meeting
with the Planning Commission and City Council for
selection of a preferred alternative that will form the basis of the General Plan and EIR analysis.

PHASE III: A PLAN FOR COMPTON 2040
Based on decision-maker direction in Phase II, the MIG
Team will prepare the new 2040 General Plan within
an element structure approved by City staff. While in
the RFP the City recommends a traditional General
Plan element structure, we will want you to consider a
structure that may better resonate with the community
in non-planner language. In the scope of work we
present this suggested outline:
» Our Vision for 2040 (Vision and overview)
» Our Community (Land Use, Circulation, and
Urban Design)
6 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
U nderstanding and P roject A pproach
» Economic Development (Works in concert with land use
and other policies)
» Meeting Our Housing Needs (Sixth cycle Housing Element consistent with land use policy in Our Community chapter) » Urban Systems (Infrastructure Element)
» Community Culture, Services, and Resources (Open
Space and Conservation Element, plus culture, education, arts, and environmental stewardship)
» Environmental Justice (As noted above, the entire General Plan will be written through the environmental justice lens, with this element focused on prioritized community needs related to street and safety improvements, healthy food access, open space and physical activity, reduced pollution burdens, and sustained civic engagement in public
decision-making processes.)
» Public Safety (Safety and Noise Elements)
» Preserving Our Heritage (Historic Preservation Element) » Implementation and Action Plan
The CAC will be asked to review the complete administrative draft General Plan to ensure it captures the spirit of Compton and its aspirations. The General Plan will be highly graphic, focused on action, and formatted for use as an online ePlan.

In Phase III, we will also prepare the Program EIR. The Program EIR will serve two functions: (1) as the document required by law to analyze project impacts, and (2) as an economic development tool to streamline CEQA review of
future development projects. We will prepare a Program EIR that analyzes reasonable buildout at the horizon year, thus providing clearance for certain projects consistent with the General Plan.

During this phase we will also conduct a General Plan/
Zoning Code and Map consistency analysis to identify any new zones that may need to be created, any Zoning Code
amendments necessary to implement land use policies (and Housing Element programs in particular), and any required zoning map amendment. MIG will create the updated zoning map; City staff will undertake the code amendments (as
discussed in the RFP).

PHASE IV: CELEBRATING OUR FUTURE
The public review and hearing process for the Compton
2040 General Plan will celebrate the community’s earnest work to create a visionary, practical plan. Community
workshops and Council/Commission study sessions on the
draft General Plan—precedent to public hearings—will allow for interactive discussion and identification of any “tweaks” to be considered during hearings. Following final Council direction, we will produce the final Plan (with the option of converting it into an ePlan) and translate the Plan into Spanish.

Demonstrated General Plan Expertise
The MIG Team’s experience preparing General Plans
and comprehensive planning documents is unparalleled.

Because we focus our comprehensive planning work in
California, we have in-depth knowledge of the particularities of California law. For each assignment we undertake,
we build from our prior work and experiences to tailor
General Plan policy and development regulations for each community. In addition, MIG and our team members are
national leaders in inclusive engagement and equitable
economic development strategies.

with MIG, a+h recently updated the City of Whittier's Historic Preservation Element through the General Plan Update.

URBAN SEMILLAS
Urban Semillas is a socially conscientious and communitybased consulting firm with a focus on social and environmental justice issues and a goal to empower people at the grassroots level and across sectors to participate in local and statewide issues that impact the communities they live in. Principal Miguel Luna is sought after and respected locally, regionally, and statewide for his expertise in working with diverse communities on social justice
issues and advocacy, and for his ability to utilize community reconnaissance in order to develop and implement effective outreach tools and mechanisms for grass-roots coalition building and consensus.

Urban Semillas specializes in cultivating relationships with and between community-based organizations, businesses,
elected officials, environmental organizations, academia, governmental agencies, and individual stakeholders at
the grass-roots level. The practice has a specific focus in fostering participation in planning efforts among people who might not have participated in the past, including
monolingual and bilingual Spanish speakers, and moderating effectively among people who might anticipate little
common ground. Miguel is particularly knowledgeable
in online engagement management and digital meeting
and conference facilitation. Over the last two decades, he has worked on issues and projects that have led to the
augmentation of urban green space, watershed planning,
and bringing resources to underserved communities, and
master planning projects at the city and county level.

Team Resources
MIG has served public and private clients of every size and jurisdiction—from cities, counties, and special districts to regulatory agencies and developers—as a full-service planning and design firm. Our dedicated staff of 230+
has the background and experience to prepare plans and
design documents for a wide variety of projects, including site-specific infrastructure, residential, institutional, mixed-use and transit-oriented developments; downtowns and
streetscapes; and broader policy initiatives like specific, general, comprehensive, and regional plans, as well as open space and parks plans.

GENERAL PLANS AND HOUSING ELEMENTS
At MIG, every project is viewed as a new opportunity to apply our expertise and to collaborate on new approaches and techniques that advance the livability and equity of a community. MIG’s experience in creating integrated, forwardthinking, and implementable general plans has resulted in noticeable, positive change for our client communities.

We utilize the latest and most effective public outreach and engagement tools to build community support for the process and develop meaningful input and analysis, including informational graphics, web-based documentation, and
social media. We also have extensive experience developing effective implementation strategies and have watched our projects result in actionable change.

City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR 11
Q ualifications and Ex perience
MIG is a recognized expert in crafting effective and
implementable Housing Elements; during the fourth and fifth Housing Element cycles, our staff of housing experts helped more than 25 cities throughout the State achieve certified Housing Elements. We recently helped the cities of South El Monte, Desert Hot Springs, Fresno, and Cudahy complete
their HCD-certified Housing Elements. At the end of 2020, we completed sixth cycle updates for the cities of Paso Robles and Atascadero; HCD has found both these Housing Elements in compliance with State law. Our teaming partner VTA is well known for their expertise in State Housing Element law. They have prepared Housing Elements for jurisdictions throughout the State and maintain an excellent track record of receiving State certification. For the fifth cycle, they prepared close to 60 Housing Element updates in the San Diego, SCAG, ABAG, AMBAG, and FCOG regions. VTA is currently leading or
advising in over 25 Housing Element updates in the SANDAG and SCAG regions that are being prepared as part of the comprehensive General Plan updates. This recent experience provides the MIG Team with a thorough understanding of new housing laws and HCD expectations.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PUBLIC

ENGAGEMENT
MIG designs and implements multileveled, well-documented community engagement programs aimed at increasing public confidence in decision-making. MIG uses proven facilitation techniques and succinct, easily understood information to ensure that the community and stakeholders understand
pertinent issues and that agencies receive meaningful
community input. Our public engagement approach
enables the community to contribute ideas, solutions, and strategies for addressing issues, which results in supported and successful projects. Prior to COVID-19 constraints on in-person engagement activities, MIG pioneered the use of digital tools to extend the reach of public participation.

EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WITH EQUITY,

DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSIVENESS
Inclusive and equitable planning is a part of the DNA at MIG. For nearly four decades, MIG has developed holistic approaches to embedding and advancing equity in all our projects.

We believe in bringing diverse communities and diverse
perspectives together to plan for inclusive prosperity, resiliency, and well-being. We work with people and systems to break down the profound racial inequities that persist and to address the symptoms and root causes of the problem. We challenge ourselves to think critically about equity, diversity, and inclusion, with the goal of creating better outcomes for everyone.

In 2018, we officially established our MIG Equity Studio, an extension of MIG’s deep commitment to creating healthy and thriving communities for everyone. The Equity Studio is a cross-firm collaborative of MIG team members committed to advancing cross-discipline approaches to embed equity in our projects and planning processes, and to infuse equity across all MIG service areas. Our goal is impact: transformative change that creates equitable outcomes.

Our team’s proven diversity, equity, and inclusiveness
capabilities are demonstrated through our recent work with Santa Clara County, California Institute of Behavioral Health Solutions, Oregon’s Metro Regional Government, and KUOW Puget Sound National Public Radio, among many others.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
MIG’s environmental team consists of experienced planners with expertise in the preparation and management of
environmental impact assessments pursuant to CEQA and
NEPA. We have a proven record of quickly becoming familiar with, and adhering to, local jurisdictional requirements. We ensure that all environmental documents are prepared to meet legal requirements and withstand public scrutiny.
12 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
Q ualifications and Ex perience
MIG staff has managed and prepared all types of CEQA
environmental documents, from simple Categorical
Exemptions, Initial Studies, and Addendums to complex,
multiphase EIRs and specifically EIRs for many of our general plan updates.

INNOVATIVE SKILL SETS
GIS Analysis and Mapping
We have the technical and analytical capability to perform a variety of GIS analyses, including land use modeling, site suitability analysis, holding capacity and buildout analysis, data collection and conversion, database creation, and natural resource mapping. We have extensive experience using the ArcGIS family of software products and have an in-depth knowledge of ArcMap, Spatial Analyst, and 3D Analyst. We maintain an extensive database of up-to-date geospatial information. We incorporate GIS mapping and analysis into all of the services we provide. We analyze GIS data for baseline studies and alternatives analysis. We prepare small maps for documents and reports and large-scale maps for use in our public participation efforts.

UrbanFootprint Scenario Planning
We analyze land use scenarios for identified focus areas using UrbanFootprint. UrbanFootprint software includes analytical engines that measure the fiscal, environmental, transportation, public health, and community impacts of future scenarios, and that output specialized indicators regarding existing conditions and future scenarios. The UrbanFootprint data can be used for discussion with stakeholders and decisionmakers regarding the outcomes associated with each scenario. This allows decisionmakers to compare the alternatives and select those that best implement a Community Vision and adhere to General Plan Guiding Principles. UrbanFootprint data can be integrated into GIS. Using the GIS output data, we can then create a Preferred Land Use Plan.

In-House Customized “Tool Box” Photo Simulations
We have an extensive in-house tool box of development
scenarios and streetscape improvements in Photoshop that can be used to create customized photo simulations in an extremely cost-effective manner. Similar to maps, the photo simulations have multiple layers to show how these changes can be phased over time and how different approaches to development and placemaking can be achieved in different ways.

Visualization Tools
Visualization tools can be a valuable aspect of a design process to help members of the public, stakeholders, and City staff compare development concepts to existing conditions. We employ SketchUp to create high-resolution image files that can be used in a PowerPoint show, in print materials, or on websites.

Using SketchUp, we can create a base model that shows
the existing project area buildings, open spaces, and major transit corridors. The model includes limited portions of the surrounding neighborhoods to provide context. The program can also create alternatives that test variations in building use, height, massing, and location. Each alternative can be placed in context of the site using the Existing Conditions Model so that viewers can see the relationship between potential design solutions and the existing context of the site. The model can create views for each alternative that highlight key features of, and differences between, the designs.

Interactive Engagement and Outreach
We use social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook,
blogs, Foursquare, and Tumblr to engage audiences, build relationships, and deliver messages to a broad spectrum of individuals. Use of Survey Monkey, Lime Survey, or Mapita for surveyscan help provide important feedback in a well-organized manner from stakeholders and community members who
are connected to the internet. We employ electronic polling software for land use and design charrettes. The polling pads help get feedback when we are testing different ideas for various land use alternatives relating to development scenarios, mobility, placemaking, commerce, social gathering, etc.

City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR 13
Q ualifications and Ex perience
The use of polling pads provide immediate quantifiable
feedback and clearly show which ideas have immediate and maximum buy-in and which ideas and opportunities have
potential for further discussion and improvement, as well as help prioritize certain land use and urban design concepts and create momentum for future implementation.

Virtual Capabilities
As the situation around COVID-19 continues to evolve, the MIG Team recognizes that it is essential to adapt and move forward with community engagement efforts for our projects.

Although in-person meetings and events are temporarily
postponed, our team members are also skilled in the use of virtual project management tools that promote team and client collaboration when in-person meetings are not feasible.

MIG is skilled in a wide range of platforms to respond to client needs and preferences. MIG often combines the use of video conferencing (e.g., Zoom and Zoom Webinar) with a digital white board (e.g., Mural) to manage project activities and team member contributions in virtual settings. Multiple digital white boards with managed access can be created to reveal and demonstrate the full array of technical assistance activities being provided.

The ability to create a pdf snapshot of the results of each work session provides transparency and documentation
while reducing the effort spent on interim summaries and meeting notes. Additional virtual tools, such as Loom, allows for the quick and easy creation of short video files, which can be shared with technical assistance recipients to provide direction and explanation as needed.

Key Personnel
The MIG Team will be led by Principal-in-Charge Laura
Stetson, AICP and Senior Project Manager José Rodriguez.

Laura and José have spent the last 20 years working
together to prepare innovative, meaningful plans and durable solutions that have been implemented in a wide range of communities including Long Beach, Monterey Park, Brea,
Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Colton, Torrance,
Costa Mesa, and Walnut, and currently in Santa Fe Springs, Commerce, Paramount, and Whittier. Supporting our team is a deep bench of experienced and dedicated technical team members made up of MIG staff and subconsultants. These

MIG has assumed the following in crafting our
proposed scope and assumes the following
will occur throughout the course of the work
program:
» Reference Materials. The City will provide to MIG all reference materials needed to prepare the General Plan, such as GIS files, crime data from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s’ Department, recently prepared CEQA documents, and other printed documents and electronic files that we can readily use to ensure completion of all work program components.
» Coordination Teleconferences. Bi-weekly check-in calls are assumed to be 30 minutes.
» Monthly Meetings. The budget assumes 20 monthly
meetings.
» Deliverables. The budget assumes digital copies unless a specific number of printed copies is stated.
» City Review of Materials. One round of review is budgeted for all products, except for the Administrative Draft General Plan, which are budgeted for two rounds of review. All
comments from City staff will be consolidated into a single set of comments in a single document using Word trackchanges function. This will allow MIG to clearly understand direction from City staff.
» Spanish-language Translation. All engagement notices
and interactive materials will be translated into Spanish once final English versions have been approved by the
City. These costs are incorporated into the line items for each task. Regarding background reports for the General Plan and the General Plan document, an allowance for
translation to Spanish has been provided, as these costs cannot be known until the English versions have been
prepared. Translation will occur only after the final English versions have been approved by the City. Regarding
translation of CEQA-related documents, only the EIR
Executive Summary will be translated into Spanish. Any
additional translation will be provided as additional services charged on a time-and-materials basis.

Deliverables

EXISTING CONDITIONS TECHNICAL REPORT

Scope of Work
TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION, MANAGEMENT,

AND COORDINATION

1.1: Project Initiation
The MIG Team and City staff will meet to refine the scope of work, schedule, and budget to align with City objectives.

As part of the meeting, City staff will lead the MIG Team on a driving or digital tour highlighting Compton’s key areas (dependent upon COVID-19 restrictions). In particular, we will want to identify areas for focused attention and community discussion.

1.2: Project Management
MIG will manage the updated program to ensure the project remains on schedule and within budget. This task includes project management and coordination (emails, calls, data transfers, etc.) with City staff and the internal team, as well as regular invoicing, schedule, and budget management.

MIG will prepare monthly status reports to identify work completed and upcoming tasks.

1.3: Coordination Meetings
The MIG Project Management Team will meet monthly/
conduct calls at least monthly with City staff to review work products, plan upcoming workshops and meetings,
discuss strategies, and otherwise coordinate project
activities. The MIG project manager will conduct a bi-weekly teleconference with the City’s project manager to discuss progress, confirm upcoming milestones, and plan upcoming tasks. Task leaders and other team member will join
meetings and calls as need.

1.4: Document Review and Field Reconnaissance
MIG will review all available background materials to
understand city context and identify a preliminary list of key issues. Additionally, MIG will conduct field reconnaissance trip to experience and document streetscapes, landmarks, neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial districts, and identify to physical assets, issues, and opportunities.

TASK 2: SETTING THE FOUNDATION: TECHNICAL

REPORT AND ANALYSIS

2.1: Compton Today; Constraints and Opportunities
The MIG Team will analyze existing conditions and prepare a highly graphic, easy-to-read report to summarize key
community constraints and opportunities. The report will be comprehensive and structured using three overarching themes: Built Environment, City Culture, and Green Spaces.

These include the following topics: 1) Built Environment will address neighborhoods, business districts, cultural landmarks, land use, housing needs, public facilities, urban form and community character, infrastructure, utilities, transportation, community assets, and local hazards;
2) City Culture will incorporate long-established and
emerging culture, demographics, public art, healthy
communities, equity and environmental justice, public
services, schools and libraries, fire safety, and law
enforcement; and 3) Green Spaces will report on parks
and open space, creeks and rivers, storm drains, urban
forestry and tree coverage, sustainability, and climate change. In addition to reporting existing conditions that will create a common community understanding of the
planning environment, this document will provide a basis for preliminary policy and implementation recommendations.
05 Scope of Services
24 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
S cope of S ervices

2.2: Pedestrian Realm Analysis
MIG will analyze the accessibility of Compton’s
neighborhoods, corridors, and districts. This analysis will focus on the physical environment and street conditions that affect walkability and bikeability within neighborhoods. MIG and Iteris will inventory trails, bicycle routes, transit routes and access, tree canopy coverage, block length, intersection density, and vehicle speeds and daily trips. Anecdotally, we will document select sidewalk and trail conditions, building frontage activity, and walking and biking barriers. The analysis will also investigate the accessibility of residential neighborhoods to local services, goods, and amenities
using a 10-minute walk service area to understand the
pedestrian connectivity to parks, grocery stores, transit stop and stations, commercial centers, and community facilities. A memorandum will be prepared that documents the findings to inform land use and circulation alternatives and goals and policies.

2.3: Market Demand Study
The Natelson Dale Group (TNDG) will prepare a Market
Demand Study to quantify immediate and longer-term
development opportunities in Compton, and to identify
policy measures necessary to achieve these potentials.

Given that the City is largely built out, TNDG’s market analysis will focus on opportunities for infill development and/or redevelopment, emphasizing the intensification
and revitalization of older commercial/industrial corridors.

TNDG’s market analysis will include the following land use categories: residential (with an emphasis on housing types appropriate for anticipated infill development/redevelopment areas), retail/restaurant, office, and industrial.

TASK 3: LISTENING TO COMPTON: COMMUNITY

ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

3.1: Public Outreach and Engagement Plan
MIG will develop an Outreach and Social Marketing Plan
that describes a set of strategies to create awareness of the General Plan Update program, promote participation
in planned activities, and elicit input into the plan. The Plan will describe the goals and objectives for the community engagement program and outline key audiences,
messaging, and communication outlets. This Plan will
also outline proposed activities, informational materials, collaterals, and other communication tools.

3.2: Stakeholder Meetings
MIG will conduct one-on-one interviews with key community stakeholders. Interviews can be conducted through a
combination of in-person meetings or digital format such as Zoom. City staff will be responsible for contacting the interviewees, coordinating interview times, and securing a meeting room to hold the interviews. MIG assumes
interviews with individuals and/or groups will be conducted over two full days at a location in the City and/or digital interviews not to exceed the budgeted allowance. Following the conclusion of all interviews, MIG will prepare a summary memorandum of findings.

3.3: Compton Innovates Multi-Media Campaign
MIG’s communications team will roll out a multi-media
campaign purposed to keep the community interested and
engaged throughout the General Plan Update program. MIG will translate all written and digital engagement materials into Spanish (see our assumptions page for the number of deliverables for each campaign element). The following
subtasks are the key elements to the campaign:
» 3.3.1: Logo and Branding. MIG will develop a logo and a document branding approach for the new General Plan.

We will produce three draft logo/brand concepts for your review and will develop one final brand based on City
staff input. Our budget provides an allowance for this
task. MIG will apply the brand to a document template for communication materials and summary reports.
» 3.3.2: Project Website. MIG will create and host a standalone website for the project. The website will include schedule and process information, ways to get involved, upcoming meetings, how to provide input, and public
documents. MIG will work with City staff and the project team to determine final website design and content. All webpages will translate into Spanish.

Backyard Community Listening Session

S cope of S ervices
» 3.3.3: Multi-Media. To keep the community abreast of
General Plan update activities and milestones, the MIG
Team will launch and maintain a multi-media campaign.

Throughout the 24-month work program, MIG will provide
updates and information via social media and other
web-based platforms, the General Plan’s dedicated website (see Subtask 3.3.2), and print media (posters, fact sheets, and press releases; see assumptions for deliverables). MIG will translate all written and digital engagement materials into Spanish.
» 3.3.4: Community Surveys. MIG will prepare two surveys that are bilingual and highly graphic designed for in-person distribution and for an online platform, such as Lime Survey.

The first survey will elicit input on community challenges and identify visioning elements. The second survey will focus on land use options and future strategies to improve the City. MIG will compile the results for each and create a summary of findings in a PowerPoint format with charts and graphic elements.

3.4: Backyard Community Listening Sessions
MIG and Urban Semillas will conduct six small-group
meetings within neighborhoods to foster participation
with individuals who do not typically participate at public meetings. These meetings, which can be conducted in
both English and Spanish, are intended to encourage
public dialogue through facilitated discussions so that we can understand local challenges and community needs
firsthand. Through our relationships with community-based organizations and faith-based groups to build awareness, we will go into the community and conduct these meetings at local businesses, churches, residents’ backyards, on the sidewalks, and other comfortable spaces. We will prepare brief overview presentation through display boards and
conduct instant polling.

3.5: In-Community Events
Going to meet with the community is a key approach to our engagement strategy. MIG proposes to set up booths or
kiosks at existing, well-attended events, and/or festivals. We will work the City to identify the most well-attended events, including events within each Council District or connect with local religious institutions for neighborhoods events.

We recognize the COVID-19 pandemic is limiting community events, but we anticipate events to start up again over the summer and fall in 2021, and potentially more in 2022.

3.6: Compton Innovates: Digital Scavenger Hunt
MIG proposes conducting an innovative and experiential
activity that engages with all segments of the community.

Through a month-long digital interactive event, MIG will identify locations throughout Compton that showcases
innovation, street art, cultural landmarks, and other
place-base locations where participants can experience local life and culture. Using social media, hash tags, and coordinate points, we will create an interactive, outdoor scavenger hunt game (geocaching) by using smartphone technology (e.g., GPS and Google Maps). Geocache locations can align with In-Community Events (Task 3.5), where we can setup booths to distribute General Plan materials and invite local artists or guest speakers to engage with participants. Information can be rolled out on a schedule and participants can play along at their own pace. We can set up QR codes or geocaches
(cache of handout materials) at these locations for participants to interact with and/or collect “treasures” or tokens that could earn a prize (such as a “Made in Compton” prize to highlight local entrepreneurs) during a final celebratory event.

3.7: Community Advisory Committee
The MIG Team will facilitate six Community Advisory
Committee (CAC) meetings to confirm community challenges, identify economic development opportunities, affirm
a community vision, develop land use and circulation
alternatives, and receive input on goals and policies. For all CAC meetings, MIG will prepare an agenda, meeting
materials, and a post-meeting action summary for City staff distribution to CAC members.

3.8: Community Meeting Series
MIG will facilitate three informative, engaging, and interactive community-wide workshops that could be conducted digitally, in-person, or through a hybrid approach. Our meeting
facilitators are bilingual, and all materials will be translated into Spanish. The topics for each workshop are as follows:
» 3.8.1: Meeting 1 - Discovery and Visioning. The first workshop informs the community on the General Plan
process and sets the foundation for the Compton Vision. » 3.8.2: Meeting 2 - Exploring Options for Compton’s Future.

At the second workshop, MIG will facilitate a community meeting to present options for Exploring Compton’s Future.

This workshop will be interactive, using break out groups (in-person or digitally) to elicit specific input on land use, design, and circulation options.
26 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
S cope of S ervices
» 3.8.3: Meeting 3 - Celebrating Our Future. The third
workshop will allow the community to comment on the
proposed land use and circulation plan and the General
Plan’s big ideas.

3.9: General Plan Vision Statement and Guiding Principles Based on the findings from earlier tasks, MIG will develop a vision statement, along with draft General Plan Guiding Principles that will set forth the City’s long-term identity and vision for growth.

TASK 4: EXPLORING OPTIONS FOR
COMPTON’S FUTURE

4.1: Land Use and Transportation Alternatives and Charrette MIG will develop up to three scenarios for up to eight focus areas (excluding transit stations specific plan areas since those planning processes are well underway) to analyze potential land use and transportation options that could include
mixed-use development, reinventing existing corridors, and revitalizing a new downtown. We propose to analyze land use and transportation scenarios using the UrbanFootprint application, which includes analytical engines that measure the environmental, transportation, public health, and community impacts of future scenarios, and output specialized indicators regarding existing conditions and future scenarios.

This subtask includes a land use/transportation alternatives charrette, with key economic, transportation, and design team leads, along with City staff. The alternatives scenarios will be presented at a joint meeting with the Planning Commission and City Council for selection of a preferred alternative that will form the basis of the General Plan analyzed in the EIR.

4.2: Pro Forma Financial Analysis
TNDG will prepare pro forma financial analyses to define feasible development densities/intensities for targeted land use types in the identified focus areas (including affordable housing). This information regarding “developer feasible” densities will inform the MIG Team’s recommendations
regarding development standards and allowable densities and can also potentially be used to facilitate discussions with community groups regarding the “tradeoffs” inherent in intensification of development (i.e., higher densities could allow for revitalization of areas/corridors that might otherwise stagnate due to the infeasibility of reinvestment at lower density levels).

4.3: Citywide Fiscal Impact Model
To facilitate an analysis of the fiscal implications of the preferred General Plan land use/circulation plan, TNDG will develop a customized fiscal impact model based on the
City’s current budget. The fiscal impact model will allow the consulting team to define the “optimal” land use mix from a fiscal perspective and to identify related strategies for revenue enhancement. Various alternatives can then be
tested to identify their relative attractiveness from the City’s cost/revenue perspective.

TASK 5: PREPARING A PLAN FOR COMPTON 2040

5.1: Screencheck Draft General Plan
MIG will prepare the General Plan outline and format for each element. Upon approval of the outline and format, the MIG Team will prepare the screencheck Draft General Plan, creating a new General Plan with goals and policies that reflect input received during earlier tasks and respond to State legal requirements. The General Plan will be concise, user-friendly, easy to comprehend, and highly graphic, with photos, maps, tables, charts, and illustrations. Translation into Spanish will not occur until adoption of the final plan, but we will provide Spanish-language summaries of key proposals and implementation strategies.

As noted in the Approach section of this proposal, we
recommend that the new plan have a structure that resonates with the community—one that does not reflect the traditional eight elements required by law (although does address all required components). MIG suggests the following:

1. Our Vision for 2040. Sets the tone and vision for the entire General Plan, provides a graphic snapshot of the Compton community in 2020, identifies community priorities, and provides guidance on how to use the Plan to accomplish
the Vision.

2. Our Community. This element serves as the Land Use
and Circulation elements, knitting together land use,
urban design, and mobility strategies to create a complete community through equitable distribution of community
services, enhanced neighborhoods, intertwined land use
and transportation decisions, a revitalized downtown and corridors, and the City’s ability to attract quality businesses and jobs to commercial and industrial districts. Public realm urban design improvements will be defined, as will design expectations for private investments. The element will
define the plan for safe multimodal mobility, with the goal of creating pleasant travel ways for pedestrians and cyclists and encouraging transit use.

3. Economic Development. Working in tandem with Our
Community land use goals, this element will renew
Compton’s position as the Hub City and define strategies for business retention, expansion, and attraction, with the complementary aims of providing quality jobs for
Compton residents and achieving long-term fiscal
stability. The element will outline specific strategies for attracting targeted land uses, leveraging public and private investments, and sustaining economic development.

4. Meeting Our Housing Needs. Team member VTA will
prepare the sixth cycle Housing Element focused on
creating an environment to accommodate not just the
current RHNA of 1,004 units but longer-term needs
identified through community conversations. The element will be consistent with State law requirements and include a Housing Assessment and Needs Analysis; Housing
Constraints Analysis; Current Housing Element Review;
Housing Sites Inventory and Resources; and Goals, Policies, Programs, and Quantified Objectives. In particular, this element will define affordable housing anti-displacement strategies.

5. Urban Systems. The element will satisfy the requirements for the Infrastructure Element and will define/prioritize community improvements for green infrastructure, water
and sewer capacity, utilities, communications, and sidewalk and street improvements.

6. Community Culture, Services, and Resources. The
foundational components of this element will focus on
the cultural, social, and community services that define Compton: parks, recreation programming, open spaces,
education, the arts, and environmental stewardship.

7. Environmental Justice. The entire General Plan will be written through the environmental justice lens, with this element focused on prioritized community needs related to street and safety improvements, healthy food access, open space and physical activity, reduced pollution burdens, and sustained civic engagement in public decision-making processes.

8. Public Safety. This element will satisfy the requirements for the Safety and Noise Elements, addressing
climate adaption and resiliency strategies, natural and human-caused hazards, noise concerns, equitable law
enforcement practices, and crime prevention.

9. Preserving Our Heritage. This element will provide the framework for recognizing, celebrating, and preserving
cultural and historic buildings, spaces, landmarks, and events.

5.2: Administrative Draft and Public Review Draft
General Plan
City staff will provide comments to MIG on the Screencheck Draft, consolidating all comments into a single document using MS Word's track change function. MIG will then
prepare an Administrative Draft for City review.
28 City of Compton | 2040 General Plan and EIR
S cope of S ervices
We will incorporate those comments to produce the Public Review Draft General Plan for release to the public for review and to the MIG environmental team for the environmental analysis.

5.3: Implementation and Action Plan
The Implementation and Action Plan will provide clear
action-oriented measures to guide City staff, decisionmakers, and the public toward achieving the Vision and goals. The Implementation and Action Plan will be in a format that allows it to be readily used in the annual City budgeting process and to create transparency in decision-making
processes.

5.4: Land Use Plan and Zoning Code Consistency
Analysis
Upon completion of the Public Review General Plan, MIG
will perform a Land Use Plan and Zoning Map consistency analysis. First, we will prepare a consistency matrix to identify which Land Use categories align with Zone
Designations. We will then conduct a mapping analysis to determine which parcels are consistent and/or inconsistent.

MIG will prepare a brief memorandum identifying which
Zoning Code amendments are required and approaches to
address inconsistencies. Our budget provides an allowance to consult with City staff on any amendments prepared by City staff.

TASK 6: UNDERSTANDING IMPACTS:

ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION

6.1: EIR Initiation
MIG CEQA staff will meet with City staff to review City requirements for CEQA documents and specific thresholds of significance.

6.2: Initial Study, Notice of Preparation, and
Scoping Meeting
Once a stable Project Description has been developed,
a Notice of Preparation (NOP) and Initial Study (IS) will be prepared for the purposes of informing the public as required by CEQA. The IS will identify all issue areas in the checklist to be addressed in the EIR. City staff will provide the NOP mailing list (MIG will review and suggest revisions), secure the scoping meeting location, and provide appropriate public notice related to the meeting.

6.3: Administrative Draft Program EIR
The Draft Program EIR will consider all aspects of General Plan implementation and will specifically reference zoning code amendments prepared to implement the plan.

Environmental topic areas and potential CEQA-defined
impacts will be aligned with potential policies, implementation programs, and other components of the General Plan. The EIR will include all CEQA-required components, including existing conditions, project description, cumulative impacts, growth inducting impacts, and project alternatives. Where necessary to address potentially significant impacts, practical, implementable, and enforceable mitigation measures will be developed. Technical studies include:
» Traffic Study and Impact Analysis – Iteris’ approach for traffic analysis includes using the latest SCAG Regional Model. The proposed land use designation changes will be incorporated as a new scenario to develop “With Project” traffic forecast data. Improvement recommendations as
well as policies will be developed to reduce the effects to both Citywide VMT and intersection/roadway level of
service (LOS). Only VMT impacts will be reported in the EIR, consistent with State law.
» Air Quality Technical Analysis – Includes up to eight CalEEMod runs.
» Greenhouse Gas/Energy Technical Analysis – Includes
up to four energy consumption spreadsheets but does not include a Climate Action Plan.
» Noise and Vibration Technical Analyses – Includes four long-term and six short-term monitoring locations, and up to 120 roadway segments.

6.4: Draft EIR for Public Review
The City will provide MIG with a single set of consolidated comments on the administrative draft. MIG will revise the document based on City comments. MIG will circulate the Draft EIR to public agencies and interested parties for the 45-day public review period.

6.5: Response to Comments/FEIR and MMRP
MIG will prepare a Response to Comments/Final EIR
(RTC/FEIR) that includes responses to public and agency comments received during the 45-day public review period and, as necessary, revisions to the text or exhibits contained in the DEIR. This task will also include a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) bound separately from the
FEIR. The budget assumes up to 80 individual comments will require a response (note: each comment letter may include multiple comments).

6.6: Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding
Considerations
MIG will prepare the CEQA-required findings and statement of overriding considerations.

6.7: Notice of Determination (NOD)
MIG will prepare all CEQA-required notices, including State Clearinghouse forms and file as necessary with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. The City will be responsible for paying all filing fees.

TASK 7: ADOPTING THE PLAN: PUBLIC HEARINGS

AND FINAL DOCUMENTATION

7.1: SB 18 and AB 52 Consultation
The General Plan update will require formal governmentto-government consultation between the City of Compton and Native American Heritage Commission-listed tribes
pursuant to Senate Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52. MIG will provide the City a letter template, detailed instructions, and a communications log to ensure the City complies with SB 18 and AB 52.

7.2: Joint Study Sessions
MIG proposes meeting with the Planning Commission and
City Council at key points in the work program to test ideas and concepts, and to confirm decision-maker direction
before proceeding to a subsequent phase. MIG proposes
that some of these meetings be conducted as joint City
Council/Planning Commission study sessions.

7.3: Public Hearings
The MIG project manager will conduct presentations at two Planning Commission public hearings and two City Council hearings. Regarding changes to the Draft General Plan
recommended by the Planning Commission during the public hearing process, we do not plan to revise either document for City Council hearings. Instead, we will incorporate those revisions into the staff report in either matrix form or other method that clearly identifies the Commission's recommended changes. Our experience shows that this
approach facilitates review and direction by the Council.

MIG will prepare the final General Plan based on the
outcome of the City Council adoption hearing. Following adoption, MIG will submit all project files to the City, including all GIS files developed during the process. Because the extent of any revisions based on City Council direction cannot be known at this time, our budget includes an
allowance for this task.

OPTIONAL TASKS
A: CEQA Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines
Update (SB 743)
Iteris will provide analysis and support in the development of updates to the City’s transportation impact analysis process, which will incorporate changes in CEQA impact
analysis resulting from SB 743. Iteris will provide guidance on transportation metrics that are applicable to developing the new City guidelines for evaluating environmental impacts of transportation and land development projects.

B: ePlan
As an optional task, MIG will set up and customize
Tangerine™ software for single click website creation using the MS Word template, including the implementation of the personalization features. Tangerine™ will convert the General Plan into a searchable, interactive ePlan that works well on both desktop computers and mobile phones. Visit www.
hayward2040generalplan.com to see an ePlan example
prepared by MIG.

MAINTENANCE AND TRADES AND PUBLIC SAFETY UNITS TO

AUTHORIZE ESSENTIAL WORKER PAY UTILIZING AMERICAN

SUMMARY
The City Council will consider this resolution adopting a side letter agreement between the City of Compton and the Service Employees International Union (S.E.I.U.), Local 721 Compton Maintenance and Trades and Public Safety Units (SEIU) to authorize Essential Worker Pay utilizing American Rescue Plan Act Funds.

BACKGROUND
The City Council tentatively approved the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Service Employees International Union, Local 721 Compton Maintenance and Trades and Public Safety Units (SEIU – Local 721) contracts for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022 in July, 2021.

In addition to the MOA, the City and SEIU – Local 721 met to discuss amending the MOA via a tentative side letter agreement to define the parameters for dispersing Essential Worker Pay to its members utilizing American Rescue Plan Act Funds on January 13, 2022.

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
As the City and SEIU – Local 721 have agreed to the standard terms of the MOA, a side letter is needed to amend the MOA to include Essential Work Pay disbursement. The City negotiated with SEIU – Local 721 regarding the parameters needed for employees to qualify for Essential Worker Pay. SEIU - Local 721 has met with its members and voted to approve the terms of the side letter agreed to during the negotiations. The proposed Side Letter Agreement must now be approved by the City Council, at which point the agreement can be executed and implemented.

The following are the excerpted terms of the Side Letter Agreement terms:

1. The City will issue a one-time lump sum payment of seventyfive hundred ($7,500.00) dollars to eligible unit members by February 17, 2022, provided this Side Letter is approved by both the City’s Council and the Union by January 25, 2022, or the first full pay period following full approval by both Parties. The payment will be subject to any required withholdings. Union acknowledges and agrees the payment is not subject to Public Employment Retirement Services (“PERS”) withholdings or consideration.

2. The City will issue a one-time lump sum payment of seventy-five hundred ($7,500.00) dollars to eligible unit members before December 31, 2022. The payment will be subject to any required withholdings. Union acknowledges and agrees the payment is not subject to Public Employment Retirement Services (“PERS”) withholdings or consideration.

3. In order for a unit member to be eligible to receive the full premium pay listed in Paragraphs 1 and 2, the unit member must satisfy all of the following requirements:
a. Must have performed “essential work” as defined by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for a minimum of one thousand, one hundred and fifty-four (1,154) hours between March 16, 2020, and the effective date of this Agreement; and
b. Must be employed by the City on the dates the payments are made.

4. Any unit member who has not performed “essential work” as defined by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for the required minimum hours between March 16, 2020, and the effective date of this Agreement, the employee will receive a prorated amount based on the actual number of hours of “essential work” performed during March 16, 2020 and the effective date of this Agreement, subject to all requirements of the American Rescue Plan Act. In order to receive the payments, the unit member must be employed by the City on the dates the payments are made.

5. In the event another bargaining group receives a “premium pay” amount that is more than the amount listed above, the City and Union agree that all eligible unit members shall be entitled to receive the difference between the payments to ensure the eligible members receive the higher premium pay amount.

6. The parties acknowledge that all other terms and conditions contained in the MOA by and between the City and Union shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, unless otherwise modified by express written agreement between the parties.
