CITY OF CYPRESS
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
City Council Regular 4.

FROM: Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
DATE: 01/12/2026
SUBJECT: Approve a Contract to Prepare Amendments for the Safety and Open Space Elements of the General Plan

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a contract services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to update the Safety Element and Open Space / Conservation / Recreation Element of the Cypress General Plan in the amount of $142,825.

DISCUSSION
State law requires cities to update the Safety Element and the Open Space/Conservation/Recreation (OSCR) Element of the General Plan following certification and implementation of the Housing Element. The City’s Safety and OSCR Elements have not been comprehensively updated since their 2001 adoption.

Safety Element
The Safety Element evaluates the City’s exposure and vulnerability to a range of natural and human-made hazards, including earthquakes, flooding, liquefaction, and fires. The update will address new requirements from recently adopted state law:

AB 2684: Requires the Safety Element to assess and plan for extreme heat impacts AB 747: Requires the Safety Element to evaluate evacuation routes for safety, feasibility, and capacity under a range of natural hazard scenarios OSCR Element
The OSCR Element focuses on issues such as park distribution and access, conservation practices, and climate resilience. The update will address recent State legislation, including:

SB 1425: Requires the OSCR Element to incorporate policies that enhance climate resilience, expand equitable park access, and strengthen wildlife habitat connectivity AB 1889: Requires the OSCR Element to identify and analyze existing and future wildlife habitat connections to promote biodiversity

ANALYSIS
When the above-cited specialized resources were required to complete this project, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to update the Safety Element and the OSCR issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to update the Safety Element and the OSCR Element. The RFP was posted on the City’s website, published in the Orange County Register, and directly distributed to seven consulting firms. Three proposals were received:

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., Atlas Planning Solutions, and MIG.

MIG’s proposal ($272,640) exceeded the City’s anticipated budget. Atlas Planning Solutions ($84,950) and Kimley-Horn submitted the most comprehensive proposals. While Atlas Planning Solutions proposed a lower cost, the firm specializes primarily in Safety Element updates and does not have experience preparing OSCR amendments in compliance with SB 1425 and AB 1889.

Following interviews with Atlas Planning Solutions and Kimley-Horn, the latter was determined to have the most relevant experience for the project. As a larger multidisciplinary firm, Kimley-Horn has extensive experience preparing both Safety and OSCR Element updates. City staff and Kimley-Horn refined the scope of work to meet the project objectives at a cost of $129,850, which includes an optional emergency evacuation route study ($22,300). This study is required for full compliance with AB 747 and is recommended. All three proposals are attached to this report for reference.

It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached contract with Kimley-Horn to initiate the project.

BUDGET IMPACT
The contract amount of $142,825 includes the optional task and a 10% contingency. The $150,000 was budgeted for this task through the 2025-2026 decision package process, and adequate funding is available.

LEGAL REVIEW
The contract has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Manager

This Agreement  shall  be interpreted, construed and  governed  both as to  validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California.  Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in  relation to this Agreement shall be instituted  in  the  Superior  Court  of  the  County  of  Orange,  State  of  California,  or  any  other appropriate court in such county, and Contractor covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District 01004.0001/301445.13 9/9/2020
-14-
Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of Orange, State of California.

7.2 Disputes; Default.

In the event that Contractor is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Contractor for any work performed after the date of default.  Instead, the City may give notice to Contractor of the default and the reasons for the default.  The notice shall include the timeframe in which Contractor may cure the default.

This timeframe is  presumptively thirty  (30)  days,  but may  be extended, though  not  reduced, if circumstances warrant.  During the period of time that Contractor is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices.  In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default.  If Contractor does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article.  Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Contractor’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement.

7.3 Retention of Funds.

Contractor  hereby  authorizes  City  to  deduct  from  any  amount  payable  to  Contractor (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason  of  Contractor’s  acts  or  omissions  in  performing  or  failing  to  perform  Contractor’s obligation under this Agreement.  In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim.  The failure of City to exercise such  right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

7.4 Waiver.

Waiver  by  any  party  to  this  Agreement  of  any  term,  condition,  or  covenant  of  this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant.  Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement.

Acceptance by City of any work or services by Contractor shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative.

Except  with  respect  to  rights  and  remedies  expressly  declared  to  be  exclusive  in  this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party 01004.0001/301445.13 9/9/2020

7.6 Legal Action.

In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to  cure,  correct  or  remedy  any  default, to  recover  damages  for  any  default, to  compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other  remedy  consistent  with  the  purposes  of  this  Agreement.    Notwithstanding  any  contrary provision herein, Contractor shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement.

7.8 Termination for Default of Contractor.

If termination is  due to the  failure  of the Contractor to  fulfill its  obligations  under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent  that  the  total  cost  for  completion  of  the  services  required  hereunder  exceeds  the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Contractor  for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated.

2. Approach/Scope of Services
Project Understanding and Approach
The City of Cypress is undertaking a critical update to two cornerstone components of its 2001 General Plan—the Safety Element and the Open Space/Conservation/Recreation (OSCR) Element—to bring them into compliance with current state laws and reflect contemporary community priorities.

These updates come at a time when California cities are increasingly focused on climate adaptation, equitable access to parks and open space, and long-term community resilience. With a population of nearly 50,000 and a fully urbanized landscape, Cypress faces a unique planning challenge: maintaining high-quality services and environmental health within a built-out setting, while addressing the emerging risks of climate change, aging infrastructure, and evolving community expectations.

Safety Element Update
The City of Cypress recently completed its Housing Element update, triggering the required update of the Safety Element in accordance with Government Code Section 65302(g)(1). The Safety Element update will evaluate the City’s exposure and vulnerability to a range of natural and human-made hazards including earthquakes, flooding, liquefaction, extreme heat, and wildland-urban interface fires, using the most current data and tools available from the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), Cal-Adapt, and the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). The update will also address coordination with regional partners such as the Orange County Flood Control District and the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) to promote consistency and shared preparedness strategies across jurisdictional boundaries.

In addition to meeting state-mandated
updates, the Safety Element will
incorporate the framework required
under SB 379, which calls for
integrating the City’s Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan (LHMP) into the
General Plan. Cypress participates in
the Orange County Multi-Jurisdictional
Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP), last
updated in December 2021 and
currently undergoing revision.

However, the County’s MJHMP does
not include a Cypress-specific annex or
a City-level Vulnerability Assessment
which is needed to support SB 379
compliance. As a result, a standalone
VA must be completed for Cypress.

Additionally, since the City does not have a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved LHMP, the Safety Element update cannot achieve AB 2140 compliance at this time. AB 2140 allows the State to absorb the 6.25% local cost-share required after a federally declared disaster. Under a typical FEMA Status Map for LHMP Status
City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 4
cost-share structure, FEMA covers 75% of eligible recovery costs and the State covers 18.75%, leaving

6.25% for the local jurisdiction. The State assumes this remaining share only when a jurisdiction has adopted and incorporated a FEMA-approved LHMP into its Safety Element. The City can still move forward with the Safety Element update and adoption at this time and amend the General Plan later to incorporate the LHMP once it’s completed.

Note: Consultation with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL Fire) is not required because the City does not have any areas that fall under Very High Fire Hazard Zones in local, State, or national responsibility Areas per CAL Fire maps.

Kimley-Horn has developed first of a kind, click-driven, step-sequenced interface that allows users to define scenarios, run simulations, and instantly generate maps, shapefiles, charts, and animations.

Built on academic-grade rigor and real-world calibration, the tool merges advanced modeling algorithms with an intuitive interface accessible to both planners and emergency managers.

This tool can replicate real-world evacuation behavior under wildfire, flood, or hurricane conditions, enabling scenario testing at any scale—from neighborhood-specific evacuations to regional, multi-county events. The tool will be used for Evacuation Routes study to comply with AB 747.

An example of the tool is provided below.

Kimley-Horn Tool Showcase: Evacuation Modeling
City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 5
As required under AB 747 and SB 99, an Evacuation Route Analysis must also be completed as part of a Safety Element update. This analysis evaluates current evacuation routes, identifies constraints, and highlights opportunities to strengthen emergency response and evacuation capacity for multiple hazard scenarios, not only wildfire. Kimley-Horn’s recent work on evacuation analyses for the City of Moreno Valley and San Benito County provides a strong foundation for developing a focused, data-informed approach tailored to Cypress. Given Cypress’s hazard profile, which is primarily limited to regional seismic risk and minor flooding, this analysis will be appropriately scaled while still meeting all State requirements.

Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Element Update Parks and Recreation
The City of Cypress maintains a welldistributed network of approximately 20 parks ranging from large community parks like Oak
Knoll Park and Arnold Cypress Park to smaller
neighborhood and pocket parks such as
Baroldi Sycamore Park, Eucalyptus Park, and
Cedar Glen Park. This network provides a
solid foundation for community recreation and
environmental benefits, supported by recent
additions such as Lexington Park and the
planned Cypress Sports Park, which further
expand active recreation opportunities. Despite
the City’s built-out nature, the distribution of
parks generally offers good geographic
coverage and most residential areas are within
a short drive or 10-minute walk to a park.

However, differences in park size, amenities,
and surrounding infrastructure create variation in the quality and accessibility of open space. Larger parks with multi-functional facilities serve as regional destinations, while smaller parks, though proximate, may lack the amenities, shade, or gathering spaces that promote frequent community use.

Equitable Park access (SB 1425) in Cypress therefore depends not only on proximity but also on the usability, comfort, and safety of these spaces. Such factors are influenced by pedestrian connectivity, shade provided by tree canopies, street design, and maintenance quality. Cypress’s urban tree canopy currently covers about 15 to 24 percent of the City, offering shade and environmental benefits. A ten percent increase in canopy coverage can greatly enhance pedestrian comfort and reduce urban heat.

Future policies should promote expanding the canopy using drought-tolerant and climate-adapted species to balance shade goals with responsible water use.

Urban Tree Canopy Percentage (2018)
City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 6
From an environmental justice and equity
perspective, Cypress must continue to assess
how effectively its park system serves all
neighborhoods, particularly lower-income or
denser residential areas adjacent to major
transportation corridors. While the City’s compact
layout supports overall access, potential
disparities may exist where physical barriers such
as wide arterials or incomplete sidewalks limit
walkability, and where populations may have less
access to shade or high-quality open space. To
advance equitable access, the City can use a
data-driven park access gap analysis that
overlays 5- and 10-minute walking radii on
demographic and environmental vulnerability
data (e.g., CalEnviroScreen and SB 1000
criteria). This approach can identify priority areas
for investment in park upgrades, new mini- or
joint-use parks, and green corridors that double
as recreational and climate-resilient
infrastructure. Future policies in the OSCR
Element can focus on expanding urban tree canopy, enhancing connectivity between parks and neighborhoods, and ensuring that every resident regardless of income, age, or mobility, can safely and comfortably reach high-quality open space within a short walk from home. Recognizing the City’s limited available land, the update will emphasize multi-benefit strategies such as urban greening, green streets, and stormwater capture that provide both recreational and ecological functions.

Conservation
Cypress’s conservation efforts take place within the context of a highly urbanized environment, where opportunities for large-scale habitat preservation are limited but where meaningful environmental gains can still be achieved through resource efficiency, sustainable design, and integration of nature into the built environment. The City’s existing conservation policies emphasize responsible management of air, water, and energy resources; waste reduction; and protection of cultural and historic assets. As part of the OSCR Element update, these efforts can be strengthened by incorporating current sustainability practices and aligning with state legislation promoting climate adaptation, renewable energy, and urban greening. Updated policies can focus on improving water conservation through drought-tolerant landscaping and low-impact development (LID), air quality through clean transportation and green infrastructure, and energy efficiency through incentives for electrification and high-performance building design. Additionally, Cypress can enhance local biodiversity and ecosystem services by expanding its urban tree canopy, promoting native landscaping, and incorporating nature-based solutions into stormwater and public realm improvements that improve resilience to heat, flooding, and drought.

Park Access in 5- and 10-minute Walkshed
City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 7
In compliance with AB 1889, which calls for the integration of wildlife connectivity and habitat conservation into local planning, Cypress has an opportunity to identify and strengthen ecological linkages within its developed landscape. Although the City lacks large natural open spaces or presence of mapped corridors or linkages and the juxtaposition to large, contiguous, natural areas as shown in the map below, its network of flood control channels, parks, landscaped corridors, and utility easements provides a foundation for localized wildlife
movement and pollinator pathways. The
OSCR Element can incorporate policies
that encourage the use of native and
pollinator-friendly plants, minimize
barriers to wildlife movement (such as
impermeable fencing), and create
continuous green infrastructure corridors
that connect open spaces within the city
and to adjacent jurisdictions. These
strategies not only support biodiversity
but also yield co-benefits for climate
resilience, stormwater management, and
community aesthetics, which will help
Cypress demonstrate leadership in
sustainable urban ecology within a fully
built-out Southern California context.

Timeline, Statutory Deadline, and Adoption of Elements
The statutory deadline to update the Open Space Element is January 1, 2026. However, even with a best-case project kick-off in November 2025, meeting this deadline will be challenging. While the team may complete the existing conditions analysis and policy framework by year’s end, the required 90-day tribal consultation under SB 18 and City Council review process will likely extend adoption into the following year. The Conservation Element update is due in 2028, and there is no statutory deadline for the Safety Element. Accordingly, the project schedule is structured for maximum efficiency by combining community engagement for all three elements—minimizing redundancy and avoiding community fatigue from multiple, overlapping outreach efforts. A detailed schedule reflecting timeframes and milestones is provided following our proposed scope of work.

Community Engagement
Community engagement will remain a key component of the Safety Element and OSCR Element update. Recognizing that Cypress residents care deeply about safety, parks, and overall quality of life, our outreach approach will focus on accessible, targeted, and informative engagement tools. We will deploy a citywide online survey and conduct focused outreach with key departments, agencies, and stakeholders to gather insights on neighborhood safety issues, park access needs, conservation priorities, and opportunities for urban greening. Additional outreach tools such as virtual or in-person workshops can be incorporated at the City’s direction if desired or if new needs arise during the update process. This streamlined but robust engagement effort will provide the input needed to shape guiding Cypress

Task 3: Safety Element Update
Task 3.1: Existing Conditions Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment Kimley-Horn will review relevant City and regional plans, studies, and data to inform updates to the Safety Element. The review will include the 2001 General Plan, 2021 Orange County/OCFA Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and data from the Cal OES, Cal-Adapt, CAL FIRE, and the Orange County Flood Control District. The focus will be on updating policies related to seismic, flood, fire, and climate hazards in compliance with SB 379, AB 747, SB 99, AB 2684, and SB 246.

Based on this review Kimley-Horn will prepare an Existing Conditions Analysis for the Safety Element to document current natural and human-made hazards affecting the City of Cypress. This analysis will review seismic, geologic, flood, wildfire, urban heat, and climate-related risks using the most current data from Cal OES, CAL FIRE, Cal-Adapt, the Orange County Flood Control District, and the OCFA.

Updated hazard maps will identify areas of vulnerability and inform future policies to strengthen public safety and community resilience.

Since the County’s MJHMP does not include a Cypress-specific annex or a City-level Vulnerability Assessment, a Vulnerability Assessment is needed to support SB 379 compliance. Kimley-Horn will conduct a targeted Climate Vulnerability Assessment of City assets for flooding and seismic hazards.

The assessment will look at a range of climate projections (Representative Concentration Pathway [RCP] 4.5, RCP 8.5) from baseline climate conditions and its impact on critical facilities and vulnerable communities within the City. The assessment will also include a literature review of relevant documents including, but not limited to, hazard mitigation plans from the State and Orange County. The assessment will also include a high-level review of other hazards as required by Government Code Section 65302. The targeted Vulnerability Assessment will inform proposed adaptation policies and strategies based on the best available science and tools.

Kimley-Horn will prepare new and updated mapping and exhibits for inclusion in the Safety Element update. Exhibits for the Safety Element update are anticipated to include:
■ Wildfire Hazard Zones
■ Geology
■ Regional and Local Fault
Zones
■ Landslide Hazard Zones
■ Liquefaction Hazard
Zones
■ FEMA Flood Zones
■ Dam Inundation Zones
■ Drought Severity Zones
■ Hazardous Materials
Facilities and Locations
■ Critical Facilities
Hazard data will be cross-referenced with the parcel, road, and hydrologic data to prepare meaningful and applicable maps to support the County with policy and decision-making.

Deliverables
■ Existing Conditions Memorandum including hazard maps (Digital Copy) ■ Vulnerability Assessment Memorandum (Digital Copy)
City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 11
Task 3.2: Safety Element Goals, Policies, and Administrative Draft Kimley-Horn will prepare an administrative draft Safety Element update for County review. The administrative draft will comply with all applicable State legislation and the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) guidelines. It will include an updated introduction section and existing conditions report; a discussion of its relationship with other General Plan Elements, goals, policies, objectives; and illustrative exhibits. Goals and policies will also incorporate input from community engagement efforts. This effort will include a review of existing goals and policies in the current Safety Element and the broader mission, vision, and priorities of the City. Kimley-Horn will provide one (1) electronic file for screencheck review and assumes one (1) round of comments in redline/strikeout or track changes will be compiled into one (1) document by the County.

Deliverables
■ Administrative Draft Safety Element (Digital copy)
Task 4: Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Update Task 4.1: Existing Conditions Analysis, Mapping, and Exhibits Kimley-Horn will review relevant City and regional plans, studies, and data to inform updates to the OSCR Element. The review will include the existing General Plan, park and open space data, and regional conservation and habitat studies to ensure consistency with SB 1425 and AB 1889. This analysis will evaluate park distribution, access equity, and conservation practices to strengthen biodiversity, habitat connectivity, and climate resilience. The goal is to identify policy gaps, outdated information, and opportunities for alignment with state mandates and regional efforts.

The team will begin by documenting the inventory of Cypress’s existing parks open spaces, and natural resources, based on the data provided by the City and desktop research. Using City-provided GIS data, site inventories, and regional datasets, Kimley-Horn will document park acreage, amenities, conditions, and classifications; analyze service areas and access within 5- and 10-minute walks; and identify gaps in access or underserved neighborhoods. This will include integration of data from the Trust for Public Land’s ParkServe, Orange County Parks Needs Assessments, and demographic data from CalEnviroScreen 4.0 to evaluate equitable park distribution.

For the conservation component, the analysis will evaluate the current condition of wildlife habitats, vegetation communities, soils, and environmentally sensitive areas. It will document existing programs related to water conservation, energy efficiency, waste reduction, and tree canopy management, and identify opportunities to expand sustainable practices. The review will also assess the role of open spaces and green infrastructure in supporting climate adaptation, including mitigation of heat islands, improved stormwater infiltration, and urban cooling.

Deliverables
■ Existing Conditions Analysis Memorandum (Digital copy) City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 12
Task 4.2: OSCR Element Goals, Policies, and Administrative Draft Building on the findings of the existing conditions and connectivity analyses from Task 4.1, Kimley-Horn will develop updated goals, policies, and implementation actions including compliance with SB 1425 and AB 1889 that reflect the City’s commitment to sustainability, recreation equity, and climate resilience. Policy areas may include:
■ Expanding equitable access to parks, recreation, and open space. ■ Protecting and enhancing biodiversity, wildlife corridors, and habitat connectivity. ■ Promoting water- and energy-efficient resource management. ■ Supporting nature-based solutions that improve air quality, urban cooling, and stormwater management.
■ Encouraging collaboration with regional agencies, schools, and utilities to leverage shared-use and ecological restoration opportunities.
■ Integrating urban forestry and canopy expansion goals, emphasizing drought-tolerant, climateadapted species and efficient irrigation to balance shade creation with water conservation.

Kimley-Horn will prepare an administrative draft OSCR Element. The draft will include updated baseline data, maps, and GIS layers illustrating park service areas, sensitive resources, and wildlife connectivity corridors.

Optional Tasks
Optional Task A: Tribal Consultation Pursuant to SB 18
SB 18 tribal consultation, enacted in 2004 and codified in California Government Code Section 65352.3, requires early consultation with California Native American tribes when amending General Plan elements that could impact sacred sites or tribal lands. Kimley-Horn will provide SB 18 Native American communications assistance, as directed by the City. Kimley-Horn will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to request a Sacred Lands File (SLF) Search and an SB 18 list of Native American tribes and individuals to contact. Using the NAHC SB 18 list, Kimley-Horn will draft SB 18 letters for City distribution. The letters’ objective will be to contact the identified entities to discern whether a tribe or individual has knowledge of cultural resources within the project boundaries. A request for consultation would require the City to enter a consultation process.

Since a CEQA exemption is currently anticipated for these updates, AB 52 tribal consultation is not required at this time. However, if a more detailed CEQA review becomes necessary as the project progresses, Kimley-Horn can support the City in conducting AB 52 consultation in compliance with all applicable requirements.

Deliverables
■ Identifying tribes and contact
■ Drafting and mailing letters to tribes
■ Consultation as required
Optional Task B: Public Workshop (In-Person)
Kimley-Horn will facilitate one (1) in-person workshop (typically two [2] hours long) to solicit input and educate the public about the updates to the Elements. We will have a presentation and activity stations such as Post-It exercises along with comment cards to gather input. The format of the event, venue, City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 14
and exercises that will be most effective will be discussed in greater detail during the coordination meetings. We will provide the City with a summary of the workshop, and the results will be used for the formulation of the policies.

Kimley-Horn will design one (1) promotional piece to publicize the opportunity to participate. The promotional piece will be provided to the City for review, and one (1) round of revisions is assumed.

The promotional piece and collateral materials will be provided in English. Translation and interpretation services in other languages can be provided with change in scope and fee. The City will be responsible for securing the venue and dissemination of the promotional piece through the City website, social media platforms, newsletters, printed mailings, or other methods as determined suitable to obtain the greatest participation from the community.

Deliverables

Optional Task D: Emergency Evacuation Routes Study
To comply with AB 747, the County must analyze evacuation routes for safety, feasibility, and capacity under a range of natural hazard scenarios. Although this analysis is often completed alongside Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) updates initiated on or after January 1, 2022, we understand the County’s recent City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 15
update to its MJHMP did not address AB 747 requirements. As such, a separate study is needed.

Guidance from LCI is available to support this effort. The Kimley-Horn team has conducted similar studies for communities across California, consistent with these guidelines. The study will include the following components:

1. Coordinate with the County to identify the principal hazards that need to be addressed in the evacuation study.

2. Develop "most likely" emergency scenarios that would require the evacuation of populations within the County.

3. Define evacuation zones that would be involved in the evacuation scenarios.

4. Identify primary evacuation routes that are available for evacuation zones involved in each emergency scenario.

5. Estimate the evacuation route vehicle handling capacity for each emergency evacuation routing scenario.

6. Assess safety considerations and evacuation route viability for the various emergency evacuation scenarios being studied.

7. Documentation of study findings and recommendations, including evacuation routing exhibits for each emergency evacuation scenario.

The scope includes analysis of two (2) evacuation scenarios, per discussions with the staff from the City’s Community Development Department, Cypress Fire Protection District, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, and Cypress Police Department. One (1) virtual meeting is anticipated as part of this effort, to be coordinated and scheduled by the City.

Note: While this study is listed as an optional task, it is required for Safety Element adoption unless the jurisdiction already has an evacuation analysis that meets AB 747 requirements.

Email: [email protected]
Key Personnel: Surabhi Barbhaya
Role/Responsibilities: Preparation of the Community Plan update Kimley-Horn was competitively selected to assist the County of Monterey Housing and Community Development Department with updating the Castroville Community Plan and related documents. The Castroville Community Plan, last updated and adopted in 2007, is part of the Monterey County General Plan and pre-dates the County’s 2010 GPU. The adopted Castroville Community Plan, which was also prepared with assistance from Kimley-Horn’s project manager, provided a comprehensive framework for Castroville’s land uses, growth opportunities, infrastructure, public facilities, and economic development.

The 2007 Castroville Community Plan was ambitious, involving large areas within the coastal zone, significant industrial growth, and several large-scale capital improvement projects. Given the planning challenges associated with coastal resources, coupled with changes in County priorities toward affordable housing, the update to the Castroville Community Plan will reflect a more modest and achievable effort. The Castroville Community Plan will benefit from a fresh look at land use patterns, land use designations, affordable housing opportunities, and the practical application of “mixed-use” development. Transportation and infrastructure updates, both planned and previously implemented, will also be included as well as an update to local development impact fees to reflect the updated plan and current capital costs.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA)
Kimley-Horn aggressively pursues its commitment
to quality for every task, deliverable, and service
provided by the firm. Our procedures will provide
high-quality services that satisfy your needs. There
will be no learning curve relative to quality for our
team. Our program is based on the philosophy that:

Quality Is Achieved by adequate planning,
coordination, supervision, and technical
direction; proper definition of project
requirements and procedures; understanding
the scope of services; and the use of
appropriately skilled personnel performing
work functions carefully.

Quality Is Secured through the careful
surveillance of work activities by individuals
who are not directly responsible for performing
the initial efforts.

Quality Is Controlled by assigning a manager to evaluate all work and procedures followed while providing the services.

Quality Is Verified through independent reviews by a qualified staff member of the processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction, and staffing associated with the project development.

Cost Control
The Kimley-Horn team has an excellent track record of completing projects within or very close to established budgets. The ability to control project costs throughout the progress of work is the result of a strong commitment to do so, a thorough understanding of the project, and incorporation of this understanding into project design drawings. The ability to control costs requires many of the same actions and attitudes. Strong communications and use of experienced personnel are two effective cost control mechanisms. Other critical elements play a key role in meeting schedules and controlling costs:

1. It is essential to develop a clear understanding of the project scope early in the process. A project budget is only as good as the clarity of the underlying scope.

2. The project team must be well-organized and exhibit good teamwork. Good communication is essential. A breakdown in communication can easily result in a failure in project control.

These fundamental principles apply to the entire project team and the design team’s internal work effort. Our approximately 90% repeat client rate is the strongest proof of Kimley-Horn’s ability to meet schedules and manage project costs.

City of Cypress | LPCAORNG011093.2025 35
Schedule Control
Kimley-Horn has a proven record of performing on time and within budget. The key to our success is managing the right resources at the right time. We emphasize project management using bi-monthly effort reports that give our project managers up-to-date staffing and expense information related to their projects. This information enables them to continuously monitor the status of project cost, cost control effectiveness, and schedule. In addition, Kimley-Horn often schedules bi-monthly telephone progress meetings with our clients to communicate progress to date and the next steps to be taken.

Frequent communication and clear definition of the responsibilities of team members are critical elements in maintaining schedules. With that in mind, our project-specific work plan identifies critical project milestones and deliverable dates. We will then actively manage our team resources to meet the agreed-upon schedules and keep your project on track.

To monitor our staff workload, Kimley-Horn employs an intensive forecasting technique known as our castaheads process. This effort involves assessing our project milestones and staff loading on a weekly, monthly, and six-month basis, drilling down to the project team level. Individual staff member loading is assessed to the person level in the one-week and one-month time frames and the operating unit level in the six-month time frame. A database is used to track all project commitments/milestones and staff commitments firmwide. Using this intensive process, we can identify overloads and shortfalls many months in advance and develop strategies to overcome them. By having a clear picture of staff workload at all times, Kimley-Horn will be optimally positioned to meet the City’s expectations for all tasks stemming from this project.

City of Cypress
C/o Alicia Velasco, Planning Director
Dear Alicia Velasco,
Atlas Planning Solutions is pleased to provide the following proposal in response to the City’s Request for Proposal to update the Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element of the Cypress General Plan. As a specialized firm that helps communities address their community planning needs, Atlas Planning Solutions believes we can assist the City in the following ways:

State Regulatory Understanding – Our firm has completed numerous General Plan Safety Element updates throughout California, requiring coordination with CAL FIRE’s Land Use Planning Program and the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. These updates have expanded our team’s understanding of this process and guide our client’s through a more streamlined process.

Evacuation Connections – Atlas Planning has supported cities and counties with SB 99 and AB 747 compliance since 2019 and 2021, respectively and developed relationships with key transportation firms to support these efforts. Through these efforts we have also recognized how this legislation is implemented at the state level. For Cypress, we recognize that evacuation is a critical element of City operations, however due to the lack of CAL FIRE designated fire hazard severity zones, the requirement to prepare evacuation analyses consistent with AB 747 is not necessary to meet CAL FIRE requirements.

Based on this, our team recommends conducting the SB 99 analysis and updating the City’s Evacuation Annex to the Emergency Operations Plan, which allows the City to operationalize the results of the single ingress/egress analysis in a more meaningful way.

Understanding Regional Issues and Local Context – The Atlas Planning Solutions Team includes planning team members well-versed in the issues affecting Cypress and surrounding communities. We recently completed projects in Fullerton, Brea, Anaheim, La Palma, Stanton, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, and Irvine.

This gives our team a good understanding of how neighboring communities are addressing their Open Space, Conservation, and Safety needs within their general plans. We anticipate relying on some of their efforts to inform the ultimate work plan and deliverables for Cypress.

The project manager and primary contact for this project will be Aaron Pfannenstiel, who is authorized to bind the team to the contents of this submittal and negotiate contracts. If you have questions, or if you would like to schedule an interview with our team, please contact Aaron at 951.444.9379 or via email at [email protected].

Respectfully submitted,
Aaron Pfannenstiel | Principal

4 Project Understanding and Approach (Aligned to RFP Section II) The City of Cypress is undertaking a focused update of its Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation (OSCR) Element to ensure compliance with current State laws and alignment with contemporary community needs. Atlas Planning Solutions (APS) understands that this effort represents not merely a technical update but an opportunity to modernize the City’s General Plan framework to advance resilience, sustainability, and equity within an already built-out, urban environment.

Regulatory Context and Legislative Compliance
The updates will be guided by the requirements of Senate Bills 379, 99, 246, and 1425, and Assembly Bills 747, 2684, and 1889, as well as by applicable sections of the California Government Code and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) General Plan Guidelines. Specifically:
• The Safety Element will integrate findings from
the 2021 Orange County and OCFA Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan in accordance with SB 379,
address climate adaptation and resilience per SB
246, and evaluate emergency evacuation routes
and procedures under AB 747* and SB 99.
• OSCR Element will be updated to meet the intent
of SB 1425 and AB 1889, focusing on equitable
access to open space, climate resilience,
biodiversity, and wildlife connectivity, all within
the City’s urbanized context.

Approach
APS will implement a streamlined, collaborative process emphasizing:

Integration and consistency between the updated Safety and OSCR Elements to ensure cohesive policy language across the General Plan.

Review and alignment with existing plans and datasets, including the 2021 LHMP, zoning maps, park inventories, and local infrastructure data.

Meaningful stakeholder engagement that focuses on practical issues—such as heat mitigation, evacuation readiness, and equitable park access—through workshops, online tools, and targeted outreach.

Coordination with external agencies such as OCFA, the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission, and other relevant entities to confirm compliance and consistency with regional policies.

Outcome
The resulting Elements will be forward-looking, implementable, and legally compliant documents that provide the City with clear policy direction and actionable programs. The Safety Element will reinforce community preparedness and resilience to climate and hazardrelated risks. At the same time, the OSCR Element will strengthen Cypress’s commitment to quality of life, sustainability, and equitable access to recreation opportunities.

The following section (Scope of Work) details the Tasks for both the Safety Element Update and the Open Space Conservation/Recreation Element Update. *AB 747 Review Applicability: The City of
Cypress is not subject to review by CAL FIRE
or the Board of Forestry under AB 747, as it
contains no Very High Fire Hazard Severity
Zones (VHFHSZs) within its Local
Responsibility Area and is not located within
a State Responsibility Area. Accordingly,
inclusion of this task in the proposal is
optional and provided at the City’s discretion.

Our team would clearly identify the
evacuation routes, coordinate with first
responders and public works, and prepare an
Evacuation Annex for the Emergency
Operations Plan that will take into
consideration all the information from SB 99
and agency coordination.
5 Scope of Work (Aligned to RFP Section III)
Task 1 – Project Initiation and Management
The APS Team will participate in a Project Kick-Off Meeting with key City staff to review the scope of work and discuss project expectations regarding coordination, reporting, deliverables, and relevant project information. Key outcomes are expected to include identifying data needs and existing documentation for the Team to review, as well as refining the overall schedule for the planning process. This task will also initiate discussions surrounding outreach and engagement. Understanding staff capacity and limitations, the Atlas Team will use this opportunity to learn about ongoing staff initiatives and community outreach efforts and better understand their effectiveness in reducing issues.

In addition, the Kick-Off Meeting will serve to refine the project timeline, establish communication protocols, and clarify roles and responsibilities between the City and APS.

Regular coordination meetings with City staff will be scheduled throughout the project to discuss ongoing status, gather feedback on emerging issues, and review draft deliverables.

The APS Team will remain available for regular email and phone communication to address questions or issues as they arise, ensuring clear and consistent communication throughout the project.

Project administration activities will include providing quality assurance and control over all technical memorandums and deliverables, ensuring timely invoicing upon completion of tasks, and hosting a secure cloud-based resource site to support file sharing, document review, and version control. The APS Team will also, as needed, coordinate with the City’s environmental consultant to share data and materials necessary to support California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review or other related environmental documentation.

Task 2 – Community Outreach and Engagement
The Atlas Team will also begin community engagement efforts for both the Open Space Element update and the Safety Element Update. As part of this task, the Atlas Team anticipates the following efforts:

Task 2a - Preparation of a Community Engagement Strategy In preparation for outreach and engagement activities, the APS Team will draft a memorandum to the City outlining the community engagement strategy, including the groups to be contacted, methods for sharing information during meetings, and methods for advertising the events. As part of this task, the APS Team will coordinate with City staff to update the contacts list based on the prior work completed during the LHMP project. Upon completing the engagement memorandum, the APS Team develops materials to advertise the project and alert residents and businesses about the planning process and the importance of the Safety and Open Space Elements. A flyer for website posting, social media blasts, and print advertisements will be prepared for the community engagement opportunities identified in the memo.

Task 2b – Online Survey
Preparation of an online survey will include between 5-10 key questions for community members to answer regarding open space resources, perceived/desired connections to open space, and future suggestions for open space preservation/expansion. 6 Task 2c - Virtual Stakeholder Interviews
APS will meet with up to 5 stakeholders with key agencies/entities managing open space resources or supporting efforts to expand resources in the City and/or region.

Task 2d - Two Public Meetings (City Council/ Planning Commission) The APS Team will conduct two meetings with both the Planning Commission and City Council (or a joint study session) to discuss key priorities for safety and open space management. The focus of these meetings will be to provide an overview of the legislative changes driving these updates and community priorities and initiatives that should be taken into account as part of the update process.

Task 3 – Existing Document Review
To familiarize ourselves with how the Cypress Plans (and other documents) help the City manage open space resources, the Atlas Team will conduct a background review of the relevant chapters that address open space resources (as well as any other plans that pertain to this topic). This review will help to identify the existing goals, policies, and actions currently in place, as well as potential gaps between what is currently in effect and what is now required under the California Government Code (Section 65564). We also anticipate reviewing recent changes affecting Open Space elements, such as SB 1425 and AB 1811, which identify key connections to the Safety Element.

Key outcomes of this task include:
• Identification of goals and policies that ensure equitable access to open space, • Identification of goals and policies to preserve, enhance, and expand an integrated open space network for habitat, recreation, natural resources, climate resilience, historic preservation, water management, and aesthetics, • Exploration of opportunities to rewild portions of the community that are disconnected or isolated from open space resources, and • Addressing emerging trends such as climate resilience (how changing future conditions may affect open space management) and mitigation strategies to help address how climate change could impact open space resources (change habitat characteristics, vulnerability to future impacts, and techniques for resource management).

This effort will culminate in the creation of a draft policy framework for discussion with City staff and decision-makers.

Task 4 – Safety Element Update
Task 4a. Policy Crosswalk Analysis
The APS Team will conduct a background review of the existing General Plan Safety Element and other key General Plan elements that may be relevant to the update. This review will identify the applicable hazards affecting the City and emerging issues of concern. A key component of this analysis is the review of the existing policy framework to determine its relevance to current issues and its compliance with current state requirements. This also includes an evaluation of the Safety Elements' compliance with California Government Code sections 65302(g) 1-9. This review will also provide an overview of the Cal Fire review criteria used to assess the elements required by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.
7 As part of the Safety Element review process, the APS Team recommends reviewing other General Plan Elements to ensure the Safety Element recommendations do not conflict with goals and policies in other elements. Completing this review will highlight other goals and policies that may address new Safety Element requirements and key areas for future updates within these other elements. We have found this helpful in assisting City staff with a better understanding of potential opportunities and constraints within the General Plan.

Task 4b. Coordination with External Agencies
As part of the Safety Element update process, APS will coordinate with external reviewing agencies, including the California Department of Conservation (DOC), Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA), and the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). The APS Team will provide the Draft Safety Element to these agencies for review, track and summarize comments, and support City staff in preparing responses and revisions as needed.

Coordination will ensure the Element meets all State review requirements and aligns with regional hazard mitigation and land-use policies. Task 2 identifies outreach with other Stakeholders and the Community.

Task 4c. Safety Element Technical Analysis
Climate Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Building on the recent completion of the City's LHMP, the APS Team will prepare a Climate Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment Summary that includes the basic components necessary to comply with Government Code Section 65302(g) 3, also known as SB 379. This summary intends to rely on the content and analysis in the LHMP that address climate-related impacts and provide a foundation for key goals, policies, and implementation actions. This task aims to provide the City with a simple way to address these requirements and to rely on the LHMP for most of the analysis. However, if this City would prefer an assessment that includes a more detailed analysis and key adaptation strategies independent of the LHMP, this can be provided under a separate scope and fee.

SB 99 Evacuation Analysis
In accordance with SB 99, the APS Team will analyze single ingress/egress conditions within residential neighborhoods in the City. These locations may highlight potential areas where evacuation may be challenged due to limited roads or where the City may require additional attention and pre-planning. As part of this analysis, the APS Team will highlight cul-de-sacs and other potential constraints, map these conditions to the various mapped hazards, and identify converging issues. Based on the analysis, the APS Team will identify recommended policies and implementation actions for incorporation into the updated General Plan Safety Element.

As part of this task the APS Team proposes an update to the Emergency Operations Plan – Evacuation Annex. If the City does not have an existing annex, a new one would be provided that incorporates Orange County Operational Area evacuation zones from Genasys, potential evacuation routes, and protocols for evacuation based on standard operating procedures developed with City staff and first responder agencies. 8 Task 4d. Safety Element Preparation
Administrative Draft Safety Element
The APS Team will prepare an Administrative Draft Safety Element update in compliance with Government Code Section 65302 (g). Based on a review of the existing element, and the LHMP hazards identified (seismic, flood, fire, and climate hazards), the APS team will develop an updated element that complies with the latest requirements for climate adaptation (SB 379) and evacuation (SB 99). The updated element will also help the City address fire hazards for eventual compliance with SB 1241, if necessary. As noted earlier, Cypress does not fall within a very high fire hazard severity zone, and so as part of this compliance, the updated element will not require review and approval by CAL FIRE and the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. Based on our assessment, APS will establish comprehensive goals and policies to protect the community from the unreasonable risk of natural and human-caused hazards of concern.

Public Review Draft Safety Element
Upon completion of the City's review of the Administrative Draft Safety Element, APS will prepare a Public Review Draft Safety Element for public comment. We anticipate this draft will be released for 30 days for public review; however, this timeframe is typically based on the required review associated with the CEQA process conducted. Since CEQA is being handled separately, this will be determined when appropriate.

As part of the element update, the APS Team recommends a Public Workshop during the public review period. This workshop should provide both decision-makers and the public with the necessary information to understand the importance of the Safety and Open Space Elements, as well as opportunities to answer questions and provide a forum for feedback and input. The APS Team will prepare a presentation for this meeting and attend the meeting to facilitate the discussion on behalf of the City.

Final Draft Safety Element
Upon conclusion of both the public and Cal FIRE review processes, the APS Team will support City staff with the final approval process. As part of this process, the APS Team will prepare the Final Safety Element based on feedback and comments received during the public hearings process. It is anticipated that revisions during this phase will be minor and require minimal staff time.

City Council Meeting (Adoption)
APS staff will support City staff during the final adoption of the Safety Element. This task includes in-person attendance at the meeting adopting the Element, preparing a presentation for use at the meeting, and preparing information and materials for inclusion in the staff report and adoption materials.

Task 5 – Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Update Task 5a – Research & Data Modernization
This task anticipates a significant undertaking in data collection, mapping, and analysis. We recognize that this approach may be a little out of the ordinary. But given our recent experience supporting other jurisdictions with General Plan Updates, we believe this task can help ensure we are working on common data sets throughout the project for both elements.

Ideally, our approach will focus on gathering the following key information:
9 • Updated GIS layers from the City, County, Regional, State, and Federal sources that identify open space, natural resources, parks, waterways, and other relevant sources that address open space and environmental justice issues. • Updated demographics information that highlights socioeconomic, environmental, health risks, pollution exposure, and other variables necessary to understand better the populations and vulnerabilities associated with equitable access to open space and other key community resources.
• Localized data and information gathered from City staff and other stakeholders can better inform our team of the localized issues and concerns facing Cypress residents and businesses.

As part of this task, the Atlas Team will summarize this data and information into a summary report that complements the results from the previously prepared Climate Adaptation Vulnerability Assessment (from the Safety Element update). We anticipate heavy reliance on many of the mapping and analytical tools developed by state and Federal agencies, where applicable.

Task 5b – Policy Review and Development
Step 1 - To familiarize ourselves with how the Open Space, Conservation, and Recreation Element helps the City manage open space resources, the Atlas Team will conduct a background review of the relevant chapters that address open space resources (as well as any other plans that pertain to this topic). This review will help to identify the existing goals, policies, and actions currently in place as well as potential gaps between what is currently in effect and what is now required under the California Government Code (Section 65564). We also anticipate reviewing recent changes affecting Open Space elements like SB 1425 and AB 1811, which identify key connections to the Safety Element.

Key outcomes of this task include:
• Identification of goals and policies that ensure equitable access to open space, • Identification of goals and policies to preserve, enhance, and expand an integrated open space network for habitat, recreation, natural resources, climate resilience, historic preservation, water management, and aesthetics, • Exploration of opportunities to rewild portions of the community that are disconnected or isolated from open space resources, and • Addressing emerging trends such as climate resilience (how changing future conditions may affect open space management) and mitigation strategies to help address how climate change could impact open space resources (change habitat characteristics, vulnerability to future impacts, and techniques for resource management).

This effort will culminate in the creation of a draft policy framework for discussion with City staff and decision-makers.

Step 2 - Upon completion of a draft policy framework (Step 1), the Atlas Team will work with City staff to develop a Draft Implementation Action Plan that provides clear, enforceable implementation strategies that support the management and expansion of open space throughout the City. Development of this action plan will be further informed by the feedback received during the community engagement task, primarily relying on specific direction provided by the City Council. We recognize that future implementation will only be successful if the City Council supports the direction provided by the Action Plan and is willing to earmark funding and resources for this implementation.
10 Task 5c – Coordination with External Agencies
As part of the Safety Element update process, APS will coordinate with external reviewing agencies, including the California Department of Conservation (DOC), and the Orange County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). The APS Team will provide the Draft Safety Element to these agencies for review, track and summarize comments, and support City staff in preparing responses and revisions as needed. Coordination will ensure the Element meets all State review requirements and aligns with regional hazard mitigation and land-use policies. Task 2 identifies outreach with other Stakeholders and the Community.

Task 5d – Element Creation and Approval Process
Upon completion of the policy framework and implementation action plan, and receipt of feedback from City staff, the Atlas Team will begin creating the Open Space Element for review and approval by City staff and decision-makers. The following tasks are anticipated:

Administrative Draft
The Atlas Team will create an administrative draft open space element that includes the previously developed policy framework and implementation action plan. The Element will maintain compliance with SB 1425 and AB 1889. The Element will primarily consist of goals, policies, and implementation actions, supported by background information and a mapping of open space resources. Upon completion, the Atlas Team will submit this element to City staff for review by both Planning and Parks and Recreation staff.

Public Review Draft
Upon receipt of one consolidated set of comments from the City, the Atlas Team will prepare a public review draft of the Open Space Element. This version will be used to solicit feedback and input from decision makers, stakeholders, and members of the public. It is anticipated that the City will release the public review draft of the element for 30 days, allowing members of the public and others to review it.

As part of the element update, the APS Team recommends a Public Workshop during the public review period. This workshop should provide both decision-makers and the public with the necessary information to understand the importance of the Safety and Open Space Elements, as well as opportunities to answer questions and provide a forum for feedback and input. The APS Team will prepare a presentation for this meeting and attend the meeting to facilitate the discussion on behalf of the City.

Final Draft and Council Adoption
APS staff will support City staff during the final adoption of the Open Space Element.

This task includes in-person attendance at the meeting adopting the Element, preparing a presentation for use at the meeting, and preparing information and materials for inclusion in the staff report and adoption materials.

Optional Task – AB 747 Evacuation Assessment
If the City would like to prepare an AB 747-compliant Evacuation Assessment, the APS Team can support this effort and proposes partnering with a transportation firm we have used for these assessments in the past. This effort would involve identifying evacuation scenarios, discussing with City staff and first responders, conducting transportation modeling, and summarizing results and policy recommendations. While we believe this analysis is not necessary at this time, if desired, we can provide a scope of work and budget upon request. 11 Project Management and Organization
To effectively manage the Atlas Planning Team, the following organization chart was developed to highlight how team members will interact with the City. Aaron Pfannenstiel, the primary point of contact for the APS Team, will be the point of contact with the City's Project Manager and the go-between for the rest of the APS Team. This structure is similar to many of the other successful projects our team has completed in jurisdictions throughout Orange County and California.

To support project management, the APS Team proposes regularly scheduled check-in calls/ meetings to coordinate and share information, and support City staff decision-making.

2022 Anaheim LHMP and General Plan Safety Element Update | City of Anaheim, CA Client Contact: Dr. Jannine Wilmoth | Emergency Manager (City of Anaheim Fire and Rescue) 714-765-6952 | [email protected]
Atlas Planning Solutions recently updated the City of Anaheim 2017 LHMP and General Plan Safety Element. The LHMP update focused on re-prioritizing plan goals and expanding the risk assessment to include additional critical facilities. As part of the update, the City and APS collaborated on revisions to mitigation actions and priorities to ensure future actions were implementable, a major concern for the City. As part of this effort, Atlas Planning Solutions also updated the City's General Plan Safety Element, which addresses climate adaptation (SB 379), wildfire hazards (SB 1241), and evacuation concerns (SB 99). This element was approved by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection and is awaiting adoption once the CEQA analysis is complete.

Atlas Planning Solutions completed the City of Laguna Beach General Plan Safety Element.

The update focused on renewing the City's 1995 Safety Element, which had included outdated information and mapping that no longer reflected the community's current concerns. The City officially adopted the 2021 Safety Element update as of October 2021. As part of this update, Atlas Planning coordinated with the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection and relied on the recently completed Local Hazard Mitigation Plan prepared by Aaron Pfannenstiel, who worked at PlaceWorks prior to joining Atlas Planning. Before joining Atlas Planning Solutions, Aaron Pfannenstiel led the preparation of Laguna Beach's first Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan focused on key hazards like wildfire, flooding, sea level rise, and landslides, which can impact the City greatly. As part of this plan, Aaron led community outreach efforts, participated in a radio interview discussing the project's importance, and ensured the plan's review and approval through Cal OES and FEMA required minimal comments and revisions.

2021 Rancho Cucamonga Safety Element and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Updates, Emergency Operation Plan | City of Rancho Cucamonga, CA Client Contact: Joseph Ramos | Emergency Management Coordinator/Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District
909.774-3009 | [email protected]
Since December 2019, Atlas Planning Solutions has assisted the City of Rancho Cucamonga with various hazard-related efforts. During this time, the APS Team assisted with an update to the General Plan Safety Element (as part of the Plan RC project), updated the City's 2021 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, supported the preparation of an Evacuation Assessment that met both SB99 and AB 747 requirements, and is currently updating the City's Emergency Operations Plan. Key concerns throughout these projects focus on the prevalence of high wildfire risks that could trigger the need for emergency response and evacuations. Key outcomes of this effort include better integration of the EOP, LHMP, and Evacuation Assessment with the General Plan Safety Element and the ability of the City to better align goals, policies, and implementation actions across these different planning frameworks. The LHMP Update was completed in approximately 15 months (suffering minor delays during the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic). Review and approval by Cal OES and FEMA involved minor revisions that significantly streamlined the review and approval process.

Atlas Planning assisted the City with updating its General Plan Safety Element and LHMP.

The LHMP was originally completed during a countywide, multi-jurisdictional update in 2011.

This update included San Bernardino County and all county jurisdictions. Since then, the City opted to conduct its own update in tandem with the Safety Element (initially drafted in 2009). Cal Fire approved the Safety Element with minimal revisions, and the City Council 13 adopted the element in February 2022. This planning process addressed seismic hazards (earthquake faults, liquefaction), flooding, and wildfire, which are similar issues to Cypress.

Atlas Planning Solutions has reviewed the City’s Contract Services Agreement (Attachment B) and requests one modification to Section 5.3, Indemnification:

We would request that a new subsection be added that limits our liability to the extent allowed under California Civil Code Section 2782.8.

This request is being provided to limit our claims and liabilities to negligent performance of our work. If our indemnification expands beyond that our firm could be exposed to legal liabilities that could bankrupt our small disabled veteran enterprise. We have no concerns about indemnifying the City, when it is consistent with the California Civil Code, and we can rely on our liability insurance to support that defense.

Cypress, CA 90630
RE: Proposal for the Cypress General Plan Safety Element and Open Space/ Conservation/Recreation Element Updates
Dear Ms. Velasco and Selection Committee Members:

MIG is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of Cypress in updating its Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation (OSCR) Element of the General Plan. As a multidisciplinary firm with more than four decades of experience in community planning, urban design, environmental analysis, and public engagement, MIG has helped cities across California prepare forward-thinking, implementable plans that strengthen resilience, sustainability, and quality of life.

Our team brings deep experience in preparing general plans and parks and recreation master plans. Recent work includes the Paramount Housing, Safety, and Environmental Justice Elements, Santa Fe Springs General Plan Update, Whittier General Plan Update, Garden Grove Safety, Housing, and Environmental Justice Elements, and the Signal Hill Environmental Justice and Environmental Resources Elements, each integrating hazard mitigation, park access, climate adaptation, and equitable engagement. In parallel, MIG has completed award-winning park and recreation system plans for Westminster and Lakewood, providing clear frameworks for guiding recreation investments and sustainability initiatives.

Our approach builds upon Cypress’s strong foundation of civic pride, safety, and well-maintained public spaces. The updates will align both elements with current State legislation while advancing the City’s goals for resilience and livability. MIG will:
» Integrate new State laws and policy guidance, including SB 379, SB 99, AB 747, and AB 2684.
» Engage the community through inclusive, accessible in-person and online events. » Use GIS-based analysis to identify gaps in park access, hazard exposure, and environmental equity.
» Provide clear, actionable implementation programs with measurable outcomes.

MIG’s leadership team brings the expertise necessary to deliver a comprehensive and practical update. Lisa Brownfield, Principal-in-Charge, brings nearly 40 years of experience ensuring high-quality deliverables that meet legislative requirements. José M. Rodriguez, Project Manager, will oversee community engagement and preparation of key project components, bringing nearly 30 years of experience in planning and public involvement. 2 City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates Additionally, Cindy Mendoza, CPRP, a national
leader in parks and recreation planning, will
serve as a strategic advisor for the OSCR
Element. She will provide high-level guidance
to create a forward-looking framework
that enhances Cypress’s parks, recreation
opportunities, and environmental resources.

Together, our team is ready to partner with the
City of Cypress to prepare elements that protect
public safety, steward natural resources, and
enrich the community’s exceptional quality
of life. Please feel free to contact me, Lisa A.

Brownfield, Principal, at [email protected] or
by phone at (626) 240-9596 with any questions
or to discuss next steps.

Sincerely,
Lisa A. Brownfield
Principal-in-Charge
Cypress is a safe and welcoming community
delivering excellent services for our
residents, neighborhoods, and businesses.

Cypress, guided by our core values,
will utilize our resources in concert
with community partners to provide an
exceptional city to live, work, and play.

Cypress’s three-year goals for 2023–2026
include:
• Enhance and maintain public safety
• Maintain high quality and high value
services for the community
• Enhance recreation facilities and programs
Excerpts from the Cypress Strategic Plan
City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates 3 Understanding and Approach
The City adopted its current General Plan in 2001, and
the Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/
Recreation (OSCR) Element have not undergone
substantial updates since that time. Cypress now seeks
to update these elements to reflect current conditions
and to comply with recent State legislation.

The Safety Element update will address new
requirements under SB 246, AB 2684, SB 99/AB 747,
and SB 379, ensuring alignment with State law and
best practices related to climate adaptation, evacuation routes, and hazard mitigation. The OSCR Element
update will respond to recent legislation, including SB 1425 and AB 1889, and incorporate current community
needs, sustainability goals, and recreational priorities.

Together, these updates will provide an integrated
framework to strengthen community resilience, protect
natural resources, and enhance access to parks and
recreation. The City’s intent is to create clear, actionable, and measurable policies that guide decision-making,
investment, and implementation, ensuring Cypress
remains a safe, livable, and environmentally responsible community for generations to come.

Understanding
Cypress is a suburban community in northwestern
Orange County, encompassing approximately 15
square miles with a population of just under 50,000
residents. Incorporated in 1956, the City has evolved
from its agricultural roots into a close-knit, familyoriented community recognized for its well-maintained neighborhoods, strong schools, and high quality of
life. Residents value safety, education, recreation, and environmental quality, and the City’s extensive park
system, including twenty parks ranging from large
community parks to neighborhood green spaces,
provides diverse opportunities for recreation and
community connection.

A recent example of the City’s investment in community
amenities is the transformation of Arnold Cypress
Park, which was renovated to include modern
recreation facilities, improved accessibility, sustainable landscaping, and new trees. The park now serves as
a model for the City’s commitment to high-quality,
sustainable public spaces that meet evolving community
needs.

Cypress is a Charter City operating under a CouncilManager form of government. The City provides police services through its own department and contracts
fire response services through the Orange County Fire
Authority (OCFA). As a fully urbanized community with
limited undeveloped land, Cypress continues to focus
on improving livability, sustainability, and safety through thoughtful planning and reinvestment in its existing
resources.

Arnold Cypress Park
MIG prepared the master plan
and construction documents
for complete redesign
of this existing 13.6-acre
community park.
4 City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates Approach
Our approach to updating Cypress’s Safety Element
and OSCR Element builds on the City’s strong
foundation of community pride, safe neighborhoods,
and well-maintained public spaces. The updates
will bring both elements into alignment with current
State requirements while advancing the City’s goals
for resilience, sustainability, and quality of life. This effort will be data-driven, community-informed, and
implementation-focused, ensuring clear direction
for decision-making and investment. In doing so, the
updates directly support the City Council’s three-year
strategy by maintaining infrastructure and facilities,
enhancing and sustaining public safety, and improving
recreation facilities and programs.

INTEGRATE STATE LAW AND POLICY GUIDANCE
The updated elements will reflect current California
General Plan Guidelines and new legislation, including
SB 379 (climate adaptation and resilience), SB 99 and
AB 747 (emergency evacuation and safety planning),
SB 246 (climate adaptation), and AB 2684 (multi-hazard
risk reduction). For open space and conservation,
the plans will align with SB 1425 (urban forestry and
carbon sequestration) and AB 1889 (sustainability and
recreation planning). The update will make certain
that both elements are consistent, cross-referenced,
and support integrated policy linkages with the City’s
recent Housing Element update and other General Plan
Elements.

EMPHASIZE RESILIENCE AND RISK REDUCTION
The Safety Element will take a comprehensive approach
to hazard mitigation and climate adaptation, addressing earthquake hazards, flooding, wildfire, liquefaction,
and extreme heat. This effort will identify localized
risks, strengthen regional coordination with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) and align with the latest
County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. Strategies
will focus on enhancing preparedness, emergency
response, and overall public safety. Climate adaptation and sustainability will serve as guiding principles, linking hazard reduction with green infrastructure, stormwater
management, and the cooling benefits provided by
parks and expanded tree canopy coverage.

STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND

INCLUSION
Building on Cypress’s culture of civic engagement, we
will design a concise and inclusive outreach program
that connects with residents, community groups,
and underrepresented populations. Engagement will
use workshops, focus groups, and online tools to
reach people where they are and invite meaningful
participation. Residents will help shape safety and open space priorities, share lived experiences, and provide
feedback on policy options. This approach makes
certain that both elements reflect the values, needs, and aspirations of the entire community.

City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates 5

APPLY GEOSPATIAL AND DATA-DRIVEN ANALYSIS
Using advanced GIS analysis, we will identify gaps
in park access, green infrastructure, and hazard
vulnerability. The analysis will overlay data such as
population density, age, income, and environmental
conditions to highlight areas where park investments
or safety interventions can deliver the greatest benefit.

This approach supports equitable policy development
and allows the City to visualize priorities and measure outcomes over time.

ENHANCE PARKS AND RECREATION PLANNING
MIG will draw on its extensive experience preparing
park system master plans to guide the City’s
recreation and open space framework. Our team
of recreation planners and park designers will help
assess systemwide needs, identify opportunities for
upgrades and programming, and assure that parks
continue to meet the community’s evolving recreational
and environmental goals. Relevant findings from the
City’s 2017 Parks & Recreation Facilities Inventory and Condition Assessment will be reviewed and integrated
into the planning process so that recommendations
build upon recent analyses and investments.

ADVANCE SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL

STEWARDSHIP
The OSCR Element will build upon the City’s
commitment to sustainability demonstrated through
projects like Arnold Cypress Park. The updated plan will emphasize resource conservation, native landscaping,
biodiversity, and water-efficient design. Strategies will promote multi-benefit solutions that integrate recreation, flood protection, and urban greening to support health, safety, and environmental quality.

PROVIDE CLEAR IMPLEMENTATION AND ACTION

STRATEGIES
Both elements will culminate in clear, measurable,
and actionable implementation programs that define
responsibilities, timelines, and potential funding
opportunities. The plans will be practical and forwardlooking, ensuring that policies can be effectively carried out across departments and through partnerships with
agencies and the community.

Scope of Work
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND

COORDINATION

designed to solicit input, gather feedback, and assure
participation from hard-to-reach and underserved
populations. Engagement activities will provide the City with the insights needed to shape goals, policies, and
recommendations that reflect community priorities and
state requirements.

2.1. Community Engagement Plan
MIG will prepare a brief Community Engagement Plan
that identifies the engagement strategy, schedule
of events, specific groups to be contacted, and
planned activities to solicit input. The plan will include development of a community outreach strategy to
gain input from residents, community groups, and the
broader Cypress community; conduct a community
assessment to understand local interests and needs;
and outline public information strategies consistent
with the City’s communication efforts. MIG will also
identify and maintain a list of potential community,
local, and regional partners to help advance the goals
of the Community Resources Element. Outreach will
emphasize inclusion of hard-to-reach groups such
as communities of color, low- and moderate-income
residents, seniors, youth, limited-English proficient
individuals, and people with disabilities.

City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates 7

2.2. Focus Group Meetings
We plan to facilitate four to six small focus group
meetings that address issues related to community
safety, resiliency, and open space and conservation.

Each focus group will last up to one hour and be
attended by two MIG staff, one to facilitate the
discussion and another to take detailed notes. At
least three of the meetings will be held in person, and up to three will be conducted digitally using Zoom.

We will collaborate with City staff to develop the list of participants, with particular attention to including groups or individuals representative of underserved
populations, such as residents with limited English
proficiency, lower-income households, and those living
in neighborhoods with higher pollution burdens. MIG
will prepare the invitations and sample discussion
questions. The City will be responsible for contacting
participants, confirming attendance, and arranging
the meeting space. Following the meetings, MIG will
prepare a summary highlighting the key topics and
discussion points.

2.3. Communications and Social Media Campaign
To keep the community abreast of Safety Element and
OSCR Element content and program progress, the MIG
Team will provide communications that City can post
on its website and push out to the community through
existing social media channels. We will provide up to six social media posts and six sets of webpage materials for posting on the City’s website.

2.4. Project Story Map Website
MIG will create a dedicated project website using an
ArcGIS Online App to provide residents, community
members, and City staff with a centralized hub for
updates on the Safety Element and Open Space,
Conservation, and Parks Element updates. The site will
include a clear project overview, access to draft and
final General Plan element documents, and details on
community engagement opportunities. An interactive
map will allow users to explore safety features, parks, open spaces, and conservation areas, with intuitive
filtering and pop-up information for key locations.

The Story Map will be hosted on MIG’s ArcGIS Online
account; however, the data or application can be
transferred to a City account if desired. Designed for
accessibility and ease of use, the website will serve as a dynamic tool for understanding project progress and
connecting the community to critical planning resources.

2.5. Community Workshops and Survey
MIG will conduct two community workshops to engage
residents and gather input for the Safety Element and
OSCR Element.

The first workshop will be paired with an online
survey that mirrors the in-person activities, allowing
broader participation for those unable to attend.

MIG will develop the format and content, prepare
announcements, lead the workshop (with up to three
MIG staff), and prepare summary reports of findings.
8 City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates The second workshop will present the completed draft
Safety Element and OSCR Element to the community,
solicit feedback, and gather input to refine goals,
policies, and recommendations. MIG will lead the
workshop and prepare a summary of comments for City
review.

City staff will review draft announcements and
materials, advertise the events, arrange the venue
and refreshments, and participate in conducting the
workshops. MIG will also work with the City to update
the contact list to assure inclusion of groups and
individuals consistent with State law guidance for Safety Element and OSCR Element.

TASK 3: RESEARCH AND EXISTING CONDITIONS

ANALYSIS
MIG will conduct research and assess the existing
conditions of Cypress’s open space and conservation
systems to provide a solid foundation for updating
the Safety Element and OSCR Element. This task will
review relevant documentation, policies, and State
laws, as well as evaluate current resources and natural assets, identifying gaps and opportunities to inform the development of goals, policies, and strategies.

3.1. Existing Document Review
MIG will review City documentation, including the City of Cypress General Plan (all Elements), the 2021 County of Orange and Orange County Fire Authority Local Hazard
Mitigation Plan, and other relevant materials, as well as applicable State laws on open space, conservation, and
safety. This research will provide technical and policy context to guide the preparation of the Safety Element and the OSCR Element, including considerations of equitable access, climate resilience, rewilding opportunities, and wildlife connectivity within Cypress’s urbanized setting.

Findings from this review will be compiled into a concise summary memo, which will highlight key insights, gaps,
and recommendations to inform subsequent project
phases and decision-making.

3.2. Existing Conditions Analysis Report
MIG will evaluate the current state of Cypress’s open
space and conservation systems, including parks, green
spaces, natural resources, and urban forestry. Using
ArcGIS Network Analyst, we will conduct a network
analysis to assess park access and identify gap areas
in the City’s open space system. MIG will also review
existing Safety Element features, including seismically induced surface rupture, ground shaking, ground failure, tsunami, dam failure, subsidence, liquefaction, flooding, wildland and urban fires, and climate change and extreme heat. Findings will be summarized in a short report
focused on the Safety Element and the OSCR Element,
highlighting existing conditions, gaps, and opportunities for enhancement. One round of review will be provided for City staff to consolidate comments prior to finalization.

4.1. Safety Element Policy Development
MIG will collaborate with staff from relevant City
departments, including Community Development, Public
Works, and Public Safety, to develop the guiding goals
and policies for the Safety Element. This process will
include a review of existing goals and policies in the
current Safety Element, consideration of the City’s overall mission, vision, and priorities, and integration of insights gathered through community engagement efforts.

4.2. Administrative Draft Safety Element
MIG will prepare an administrative draft Safety Element for internal City review, ensuring consistency with applicable State legislation and guidance from the State Office of Planning and Research. The draft will incorporate goals and policies developed in previous subtasks and include all components required by State law.

The administrative draft will provide a comprehensive
overview of the local setting, existing conditions, and risk identification, addressing hazards such as seismically
induced surface rupture, ground shaking, ground failure, tsunami, seiche, dam failure, slope instability (mudslides and landslides), subsidence, liquefaction, flooding,
wildland and urban fires, and climate change and extreme heat. It will describe the roles and responsibilities of local, regional, State, and federal agencies in addressing these hazards, document existing goals, policies, and
implementation measures, and identify additional
recommendations to address gaps and enhance
community safety.

The draft will include an Implementation Plan outlining responsible parties, timelines, and potential resources or strategies to support effective execution of the Safety Element. The administrative draft will be submitted to
City staff for one round of review and comment prior to preparation of the public review draft.

TASK 6: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Updating the Environmental Resources Element and
preparing a new Safety Element and OSCR Element
is considered a “project” under CEQA and is subject
to environmental review. Because these elements are
policy documents that do not specifically authorize
any construction project, MIG’s environmental team
will conduct program-level analysis. We anticipate
that either a Negative Declaration or Mitigated
Negative Declaration can be adopted. In the event an
Environmental Impact Report is required, we will work
with City staff to determine the necessary agreed upon
scope and fee adjustment.

6.1. Draft Initial Study/(Mitigated) Negative
Declaration
MIG will prepare the Initial Study (IS) consistent with CEQA Guidelines Appendix G. The IS will include clear,
well-supported responses to each checklist question,
supplemented by tables, figures, and maps, with all
data sources referenced. A Draft (Mitigated) Negative
Declaration ((M)ND) will be prepared to summarize
CEQA findings and identify any mitigation measures
needed to reduce potential impacts. The document
will include an introduction outlining its purpose, a
description of existing conditions and the project’s
programmatic scope, and responses to CEQA checklist
issue areas.

Because of the programmatic nature of the Elements,
minimal or no environmental impacts are anticipated.

No detailed technical studies (e.g., traffic, air quality) are expected; analysis will focus on secondary effects
of proposed policies and programs. The IS/(M)ND will
identify report preparers and include relevant technical appendices. MIG will prepare a screencheck draft for
City review, incorporate comments, and produce a
public draft IS/(M)ND and Notice of Intent (NOI). The City will file the NOI, pay associated fees, and handle public notice distribution.

6.2. Circulation of NOI and IS/(M)ND
MIG will provide the NOI and IS/(M)ND to the State
Clearinghouse for posting as required.

6.3. Summary of Comments and Responses;
Notice of Determination
Following conclusion of the 20-day CEQA public review
period and receipt of all oral and written comments on
the IS/(M)ND from the public and responsible agencies,
MIG will prepare a summary comment and response
document. This is not required by CEQA, but we believe
providing short responses will provide full information to decision-makers during the hearing process. The
summary comment and response document will be
submitted to the City staff for review. Upon receipt
of comments (provided in a single track-changes
document). MIG will finalize the document for public
hearings.

Task 6 Deliverables

7.0: HEARINGS AND FINAL DOCUMENTS

7.1. Staff Report Assistance
MIG will assist City staff in preparing staff reports and a resolution for Planning Commission and City Council
meetings. MIG will prepare draft materials for City
review and incorporate one round of consolidated
edits provided by staff. Final staff reports and the
resolution will be revised accordingly and prepared for presentation at public hearings.
12 City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates

7.2. Public Hearing Attendance
We have budgeted for two public hearings: one each
with the Planning Commission and City Council. City
staff will be responsible for public notices. MIG will
prepare PowerPoint presentations for the hearings. We
will submit the PowerPoint electronically to City staff for review prior to each hearing. One MIG staff will attend each hearing. MIG will assist City staff in responding to any public or agency comments. Comments from the
Planning Commission and City Council will be captured
in a public hearings matrix to be reviewed with City
staff. City staff will be responsible for public notices, staff reports, and resolution materials associated with the environmental documentation and General Plan
amendments.

7.3. Final Safety Element
MIG will prepare the final version of the Safety Element based on comments from the Planning Commission and
City Council public hearings.

7.4. Final OSCR Element
MIG will prepare the final version of the OSCR Element
based on comments from the Planning Commission and
City Council public hearings.

City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates 15 Our approach is based on a thorough understanding of
existing conditions and guiding regulations, efficiency, accuracy in information gathering and analysis,
creativity, and innovation in collaborative problemsolving and strategic development.

Open Space and Park System Planning. For over four
decades, MIG has worked with public, private, and
nonprofit agencies and their constituents throughout
the United States to effectively address any issue on
the planning and design spectrum related to parks and
open space—concept to construction, strategic plan
to master plan, historic preservation to open space
conservation, sustainability to feasibility, and everything in between. Our dedicated staff has the background and
experience to scope and implement projects that enable
people to actively participate in making decisions that impact their access to and use of parks, open space,
and recreation resources.

The depth of our expertise encompasses the full range
of assessment, analysis, outreach, design, and planning methods/skills required to help communities create and
responsibly manage available resources—ensuring the
right balance in the amount, size, types, and locations of park land, recreation amenities, and services for each community now and in the future. The breadth of our
experience is unparalleled—from regional open space
and trails to community and neighborhood parks to
recreation centers and youth programs.

Innovative Skillsets. MIG has 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

MIG led a focused and highly coordinated update of Garden Grove’s General Plan, an ambitious effort to plan for over 19,000 new RHNA housing units in a largely built-out community with limited opportunities for expansion. The team developed creative land use and policy strategies that reimagined underutilized corridors, shopping centers, and mixed-use nodes to accommodate growth while maintaining neighborhood character.

The Safety Element advanced Garden Grove’s resilience by addressing crime prevention, seismic and flooding hazards, hazardous materials, and climate adaptation, including vulnerabilities to extreme heat, drought, wildfires, and sea-level rise. The Environmental Justice Element established an equitydriven framework grounded in data and community voices, linking pollution exposure, health and wellness, park access, and safe housing to actionable goals and programs.

A robust, multilingual engagement process that included two community workshops, paper surveys in vulnerable communities, online mapping tools, and joint study sessions assured that diverse perspectives shaped the planning process. Together, these updates provide a forward-looking roadmap for a safer, more inclusive, and climate-resilient Garden Grove.

Plan Document Link
Located just southeast of the City of Los Angeles, the built-out City of Paramount is one of the smallest, yet most densely populated cities within Los Angeles County. MIG provided a Focused General Plan Update that included developing the first Environmental Justice (EJ) Element for the City, which had been contending with industrial manufacturers emitting air pollution beyond permissible thresholds. MIG collaborated with community groups and businesses to identify pollution burdens and strategies within the industrial areas of the city.

To create the EJ Element, MIG took a neighborhood-based approach to identify community needs such as park access, urban greening strategies, pedestrian and bicycle safety, access to healthy foods and grocery stores, and pollution burden strategies.

Additionally, the City aimed to balance a growing population and a need for augmented recreational opportunities, with constrained land and limited resources. What the City lacks in land, it makes up for with innovative and creative approaches for meeting the diverse needs of its community. Paramount’s Community Services Department, which is responsible for oversight of its parks and recreation facilities, has worked diligently to provide residents with improved quality of life through its parks system. Through its open space partnerships and shared-use facilities, the City has been able to provide various recreational opportunities and programs while enhancing and expanding parks and recreation facilities with existing resources.

The City asked MIG to develop its first Parks and Recreation Master Plan to further enhance the community’s quality of life. The devoted project team spent approximately two years conducting public outreach, targeted interviews, park access and walkability assessments, park and facility surveys, demographic research, opportunity identification, and implementation strategies. As a result, the Master Plan provides guidance for future improvements and expansion of the City’s park system, reflecting the community’s input regarding their needs and desires for changes over the next 10 years. Given the constraints of available parkland, the Master Plan provides innovative approaches to enhancing and leveraging existing assets while also addressing demographic changes, evolving demand for recreational facilities, and ensuring access to recreational opportunities for all community members.

MIG is currently supporting the City of Signal Hill in the preparation of two key components of its General Plan Update: the Environmental Justice Element and the Environmental Resources Element. Together, these efforts strengthen the City’s long-term vision for a healthier, more resilient, and sustainable community.

The Environmental Resources Element integrates the City’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and resource management. The element addresses Signal Hill’s unique legacy of oil production, both as an ongoing economic activity and as a resource that must be managed responsibly. In addition, it incorporates policies and strategies to strengthen climate change resiliency, expand park and recreation access, protect and enhance natural resources, and advance green building practices. The element also recognizes the City’s cultural and historical resources as vital assets that contribute to community identity and quality of life.

The Environmental Justice Element focuses on identifying and addressing the disproportionate impacts experienced by residents in proximity to major freeways, oil production areas, and industrial uses.

MIG’s approach emphasizes using data-driven analysis and meaningful community engagement to identify neighborhoods most affected by these conditions and to develop policies that improve public health, promote equitable access to amenities, and reduce environmental burdens.

Through these elements, MIG is helping Signal Hill position itself as a forward-thinking city that balances its industrial heritage with new opportunities for environmental stewardship, community health, and equitable access to resources.

10-Minute Walk to

The City of Compton embarked on its first comprehensive General Plan Update since the 1990s, an ambitious and forward-thinking effort to reimagine the city’s future through an inclusive, equity-driven, and environmentally conscious lens. This milestone project modernizes Compton’s long-range vision for growth, sustainability, and community well-being.

A key innovation of this update is the creation of the Community Services, Open Space, and Resources Element, a new and integrative chapter that captures the city’s commitment to both people and the planet. This element has a dual focus:
(1) promoting a vibrant and inclusive society, and (2) safeguarding the natural environment. These priorities are deeply interconnected, as they celebrate the qualities that bring richness to community life: parks and recreation spaces, cultural and educational institutions, and Compton’s urban forest. Recognizing that environmental health is essential to public health, the element also establishes strategies to improve local air quality, reflecting Compton’s overarching goal of enhancing community health and livability for all residents.

The planning process was grounded in extensive community engagement designed so that every voice shaped the vision for Compton’s future. The MIG team worked closely with City staff to implement a robust outreach program that included community workshops, focus groups, pop-up events, an interactive project webpage, and ongoing collaboration with a broad network of community-based organizations.

This inclusive engagement approach made certain that the updated General Plan reflects Compton’s diversity, creativity, and resilience, capturing the aspirations of residents, local leaders, and partner institutions alike.

The resulting plan positions Compton as a model for 21st-century urban revitalization, where social equity, cultural identity, and environmental sustainability come together to guide a new era of growth, opportunity, and shared prosperity.

Compton General Plan Update
City of Cypress | Safety Element and Open Space/Conservation/Recreation Element Updates 21 As part of the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Long-Range Plan, MIG assisted the City of Lakewood in developing a comprehensive field assessment process aimed at evaluating the conditions of its parks and recreation facilities or assets (e.g., playgrounds, fields, courts, outdoor equipment, signage, trails, etc.). This assessment involved the meticulous evaluation of nearly 900 recreational assets spread across 23 parks.

MIG developed a cloud-based geodatabase using Esri's ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app to serve as a comprehensive repository for all park facilities and amenities. Customized forms in the Field Maps platform enabled efficient in-field data collection using mobile phones, capturing critical information such as asset type, location, and condition. During the park assessment, each asset was evaluated and assigned a rating of Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, or Non-Functional. These scores help the City and the public understand the scale of necessary improvements, identify assets needing immediate repair or replacement, and estimate the associated costs for maintenance. This data enables prioritization of expenditures over time, ensuring efficient resource allocation for maintaining and enhancing park facilities and amenities.

To help visualize the data, the results of the field assessment were integrated into a customized ArcGIS Dashboard. This dashboard provides visual displays that present the assessment data in an easy-to-read online format. All relevant information is accessible on a single screen, facilitating quick and easy understanding through the use of charts and color-coded ratings for each asset.

This comprehensive field assessment process not only provided a current snapshot of the City's parks and amenities but also established a sustainable framework for ongoing evaluation and resource allocation. The integration of advanced mapping technologies and comprehensive assessment of recreational facilities and amenities assures that the City of Lakewood can effectively manage and enhance its recreational assets to meet the community's needs.

Element Document Link
The City of Santa Fe Springs last updated its General Plan in 1993, over 30 years ago. MIG was hired in early 2020 to completely overhaul the General Plan, including preparation of a new Environmental Justice Element and update of its Conservation and Open Space Element. The Conservation and Open Space Element addresses preservation and enhancement of the open spaces important to local community life, and the careful conservation of natural resources that contribute to a quality living environment. These include open spaces for outdoor recreation (parks, cultural landmarks, trails, and publicly owned corridors such as utility easements); open spaces for natural resource preservation and conservation (groundwater, creeks and drainage channels, and urban forest); and open spaces for the managed production of resources (oil extraction). With regard to conservation, planning policies and actions target energy-producing resources (oil, solar) and energy conservation and air quality improvements, including reductions in methane gas emissions.

MIG used GIS to analyze underutilized industrial properties, which involves measuring quality of life metrics, including classifying hazardous waste and contamination data to determine which properties could easily and safely transition to other uses.

Santa Fe Springs historically has been an industrial city, with a very engaged business sector. To balance business interests with residents’ desire for additional housing and places to shop and dine locally, MIG conducted numerous listening sessions with community members, held meetings with a Council-appointed advisory group, and designed and ran an online survey.

DATE: 01/12/2026
SUBJECT: Approve an Agreement with the Rossmoor/Los Alamitos Area Sewer District for Development of the Los Alamitos Race Course

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Inter-Jurisdictional Wastewater Service Agreement with the Rossmoor/Los Alamitos Area Sewer District and authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.

DISCUSSION
A portion of the Los Alamitos Race Course (LARC) property lies within both the City of Cypress sewer service area and the Rossmoor/Los Alamitos Area Sewer District (RLAASD) boundary. In preparation for the upcoming redevelopment of the race track property, Public Works coordinated with RLAASD to address overlapping service boundaries and clarify sewer service responsibilities.

To define responsibility and liability within the overlapping service area, the City and RLAASD prepared the attached agreement. This agreement does not alter existing operations, as the property is already receiving sewer service from the City of Cypress.

Under the agreement, the City will continue to regulate, install, operate, and maintain wastewater collection and transmission services for the affected property. Additionally, the City will indemnify RLAASD against any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from sewer spills or overflows within the overlapping area.

FROM: Nick Mangkalakiri, Director of Public Works
DATE: 01/12/2026
SUBJECT: Approve an Amendment to the Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 1 Design Services Contract.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve an amendment in the amount of $400,352 to the Professional Design Services Contract with AKM Consulting Engineers for Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 1, Project 300, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment.

DISCUSSION
In June 2024, the City Council approved a design contract with AKM Consulting Engineers for the Myra Avenue Pump Station No. 1, located at 5100 Myra Avenue. The 60-year-old station, which serves the area between Moody Street, Walker Street, and Cerritos Avenue, has a history of flooding and requires upgrades to meet Orange County Flood Control standards.

Plans and specifications are in development. On November 3, the City Council reviewed project alternatives and directed staff to obtain a cost proposal from AKM Consulting Engineers for additional design services to provide additional flood protection and reduce flooding within the drainage area. Preliminary estimates indicate the expanded improvements can be completed within the approved project budget. If final costs exceed available funding, the plans will remain shelf-ready for future construction. Plans are expected to be completed this summer, bids solicited in the fall, and a construction contract considered in the winter, with construction anticipated to begin in early 2027.

BUDGET IMPACT
Sufficient amounts are available in the City Capital Projects Fund budget for Myra Pump Station No. 1 to proceed with this contract amendment.

FROM: Nick Mangkalakiri, Director of Public Works
DATE: 01/12/2026
SUBJECT: Amend Task Order for Project Management Services

RECOMMENDATION

1. Approve an amendment in the amount of $20,615.76 to a task order with FCG Consultants for public works project management services; and

2. Approve a $20,615.76 budget appropriation transfer within the General Fund from Personnel to Professional Services.

DISCUSSION
In June 2025, the City Council approved a task order for project management services with FCG Consultants, Inc. The task order provided part-time project management services to support the Public Works Engineering Division through December 2025, while the Division had a staffing vacancy. Public Works is in the process of filling the vacancy, which is expected to occur imminently. To maintain project schedules and support an uninterrupted transition to new staff, Public Works recommends amending the task order to include additional services through February.

BUDGET IMPACT
Due to a budgeted staffing vacancy in the Public Works Engineering Division, sufficient salary savings are available to pay for the additional services associated with this task order amendment.
