RE: Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates Dear Ms. Blanton:

Mintier Harnish is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of Hayward with the preparation of the Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates (Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates). Since 1985, we have served over 100 public agencies and have established ourselves as a leader in general plan, housing element, and zoning code updates in California. In response to your request for proposals, the City will likely receive responses from several qualified firms.

We feel there are several key factors that distinguish us.

Zoning Code Preparation Experience. Our team has extensive experience with drafting and ensuring adoption of zoning codes and other types of development regulations. We are able to create innovative and practical solutions to both routine and unique zoning and planning problems.

Extensive Local Familiarity. Our team has unmatched local familiarity of the community.

Most notably, Mintier Harnish led the consultant team that assisted the City of Hayward with the preparation of the 2040 General Plan and Economic Development Strategic Plan. Secondly, Miller Planning Associates led the consultant team that assisted the City of Hayward with the Industrial Design Guidelines and Development Code Update.

Third, Jordan Cowell, part of our management team, led the redesign of 808 A Street and senior-housing project across from City Hall, and assisted in the site planning and architectural design effort for the SoHAY development. Each of these highly successful efforts won the strong support and praise from the City Council and community. They reflect the aspirations and goals of the Hayward community for increased quality of life, economic vitality, and streamlined development. The natural next step is to ensure that the City’s Objective Standards for Residential Development reflect the goals and aspirations of the previous efforts and continue to ensure that Hayward is on the cutting edge of design and development, while encouraging more affordable housing options for the community. We are ideally suited to lead this Project. 1 Familiarity with Contemporary Zoning Practice. We are familiar with new and emerging zoning practice trends and issues. We produce zoning ordinances that are user-friendly and rely extensively on graphics and illustrations. We are addressing the changing housing-related provisions in zoning codes, including ADUs, density bonus, employee housing, emergency shelters, transitional housing, and objective design standards. We are also at the forefront in the development of web-based zoning codes.

Comprehensive Objective Design Standards Experience and Implementation. We have a comprehensive understanding of the State requirements of objective design standards and have provided innovative ways for successful implementation. We have or are currently assisting 19 communities of all sizes adapt and implement objective design standards. We focus on creating standards that are not only acceptable to the community and are easy to understand, but are also acceptable to the development community.

Local Government Experience. We have extensive experience as local government staff. We have “hands-on” experience with all levels of zoning code administration, ranging from answering zoning inquiries at the front counter, to processing land use permit applications and preparing staff reports, to managing planning divisions and departments. We have personally drafted zoning codes and then been responsible for the administration and enforcement of those regulations. We understand the wide array of day-to-day issues City staff must address in code administration, as well as the needs of the public for timely, accurate responses to their questions.

Experienced Project Management. I will be the Project Advisor for the Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates. I have been a planner since 1970 and have participated in the preparation of dozens of zoning code updates. Brent Gibbons, AICP, will be the Project Director. Brent brings over a decade of planning experience and has prepared more than ten zoning code updates for communities throughout the state.

Jordan Cowell will be intimately involved in the project as the Project Manager. Jordan has eight years of experience in urban design in the Bay Area and has been a critical element to our successful objective standards efforts.

An Excellent Team. Our teaming partners brings extensive zoning code update experience as well.
• Miller Planning Associates (MPA) has been providing planning and zoning services to a variety of municipal clients throughout California and nationwide. Martha Miller, Founder, and Principal of MPA, has facilitated the comprehensive update of over a dozen zoning codes in the last 20 years. Martha and Brent also co-teach the UC Davis Course on How to Update Your Zoning Code. Mintier Harnish and MPA are partnering on several code updates including comprehensive updates for Calaveras and Madera Counties.

2 • DKS Associates will provide the parking analysis and will be led by Jim, Damkowitch, Managing Director of DKS Sacramento. Jim brings more than 30 years of experience in regional multimodal transportation planning.

Active Principal Involvement. I am personally leading the Mintier Harnish Team. I will be fully engaged in every aspect of the Objective Design Standards project. As noted above, I have been a Planning Director for several cities and prepared and administered dozens of zoning codes. I will be involved in the project daily and in regular contact with City staff, the community, and decision-makers.

Work Style. As part of this effort, we will be working closely with City staff, the community, Planning Commission, and City Council. To have an effective, stress free, and enjoyable process, you need a team that is great to work with. Our team has a very approachable, collegial, and comfortable work style with our clients. We bring a great process experience and tailor it to the needs and personality of each community.

We develop close, collaborative working relationships with each of our clients that last well beyond the completion of a project. We strongly urge you to confirm this with our references.

As the owner of Mintier Harnish, I am authorized to bind the firm contractually on this project. Please contact me if you have any questions at 916-446-0522 or [email protected]. I look forward to the opportunity to present our proposal and team in person.

Program Environmental Impact
Report (2012-2015)
Mintier Harnish managed a multi-disciplinary
consulting team in a comprehensive update of the
City of Hayward General Plan and preparation of a
Program EIR. The General Plan incorporated new City
initiatives within the context of several significant
changes in State law and a comprehensive strategy

WEST SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

ZONING ORDINANCE MODERNIZATION
Martha Miller was the project manager for a comprehensive update to the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance, originally written in 1990 shortly after incorporation, had been amended numerous times but had not been comprehensively updated. As land use patterns diversified and modernized, the City found that the Zoning Ordinance was hindering new land use and development objectives and economic development.

The Zoning Ordinance Modernization Project (ZOMP!) brought the code up to date, adequately reflecting modern uses and current development practices. The ZOMP! also provides consistency with the recently adopted General Plan. Included in the update was a comprehensive revision of the City’s sign regulations. The goal of the sign regulation revisions was to provide for the conveyance of information in a way that protects and enhances community character and is consistent with recent case law.

ZONING CODE UPDATE
Martha Miller was the project manager for the comprehensive update of the City of Newark’s Zoning Ordinance. The new Zoning Ordinance implements the City’s General Plan in a concise, user-friendly set of regulations. A priority of this project was to craft regulations that will allow Newark to maintain and enhance the character of existing neighborhoods, promote economic development, and create new identifiable places, consistent with the General Plan. The new regulations are written to be predictable, understandable, and enforceable. A streamlined approval process has been established for conforming projects and an extensive use of graphics have been integrated to reduce wordiness.

The update was comprehensive, including new districts, use allowances, procedures, and sign regulations. The sign regulations were updated to comply with state and federal law and the 2015 Supreme Court case Reed v. T own of Gilbert.

14 CITY OF HAYWARD | Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates

4. Project Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
The City of Hayward is seeking proposals from
qualified consultants to prepare Objective Standards
for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency
Updates (Objective Standards and Zoning
Consistence Updates). Our understanding of the
Project is based on a combination of the Request for
Proposals, the City’s response to questions regarding
the RFP (Addendum 1), our experience assisting
numerous other communities in successfully crafting
standards, our overall understanding of the housing
crisis in California, and our knowledge from preparing
zoning codes for dozens of cities and counties
throughout the state. This Project is the City’s
opportunity to establish clear and unambiguous,
internally-consistent, legally-defensible residential
design standards and development regulations
that reflect a contemporary Hayward. The objective
design and development standards will comply with
the requirements of State law and set the stage for
continued positive change in the community. Based
on our understanding, we have identified seven
objectives for the Project.

Engage the Community. The City expects the
Consultants to work with staff to organize and
facilitate an effective community engagement
program. The engagement program should include
a wide range of components intended to maximize
public participation, including a project webpage,
project-specific marketing materials, interactive
outreach efforts, community workshops, stakeholder
meetings, study sessions, and adoption hearings.

The new Objective Standards must be based upon
the results of a comprehensive public engagement
program to ensure that everyone in the community
has an opportunity to participate and are fully
represented in shaping Hayward’s future. Further,
outreach activities should be conducted through
a racial equity lens to ensure that the proposed
objective standards and zoning updates do not
disproportionately impact communities of color.

Special attention should be given to communicating
information clearly and succinctly and in multiple
languages, as necessary, so that it is accessible and
easy to understand.

Conduct Background Research. The City expects
the Consultants to conduct background research to
gain an understanding of community priorities, the
City’s current residential development standards,
and existing General Plan and Zoning discrepancies
for single family zoned parcels in Hayward. The
Consultants will prepare a General Plan Zoning
Discrepancy Memo that identifies parcels within the
city that are zoned for single family residential uses
but have underlying General Plan designations that
allow or require higher densities. The memo should
include analysis of the implications of SB 9 and any
Recent Changes to State Law
California is in the midst of a housing crisis in
which communities throughout the state are
challenged with accommodating their fair share
of housing production. The housing shortage
prompted California to enact new laws in 2017
(SB 35, SB 167, AB 648) requiring cities and
counties to streamline housing approval by
establishing a by-right, ministerial approval
process for multifamily residential development;
and to provide an increased standard of proof
to legally deny a lower- or moderate-income
housing project. In 2019, changes to the Housing
Accountability Act (SB 330, AB 1485) further
limited a jurisdictions ability to deny or reduce
the density of housing projects that meet
objective standards, while expanding SB 35
eligibility and protections under the HAA. Under
these changes to State law, jurisdictions without
a ministerial approval process have little say in
the design of developments processed under the
protections of the HAA. Key to the establishment
of this process is the replacement of subjective
design guidelines and discretionary review with
objective standards and ministerial approval.

Finally, the zoning code will need to be brought
into compliance with State legislation from 2021,
including SB 9, SB 10, and SB 478, which directly
limit a jurisdiction’s ability to control certain
density, lot size, and lot coverage requirements.
15 MINTIER HARNISH | REVISED - January 20, 2022
other recent State legislation on these parcels, and
specifically whether this recent legislation eliminates any of the existing discrepancies in allowable density.

As part of this process, the City expects the
Consultants to prepare a Residential Objective
Standards Background Report that summarizes
recent legislation, including SB 35, SB 330, SB 8,
and SB 9, that restrict the City’s ability to deny
projects that meet adopted objective standards.

The report should further analyze the City’s Zoning
Ordinance, Off-Street Parking Regulations, Mission
Boulevard Corridor Code, Downtown Development
Code, Design Guidelines, Hillside Design and
Urban/Wildland Interface Guidelines, and various
Neighborhood Plans to summarize the objective
standards for residential development are already
in place and where changes or additions may be
appropriate. Finally, the report should also identify
best practices regarding objective standards in
similar communities around the Bay Area and
beyond.

Develop a Vision for the Objective Standards.

The City expects the Consultants to develop a
Vision Statement for the Residential Objective
Standards portion of the project that fine tunes the
project’s goals and objectives, as identified through
initial outreach to decision makers, stakeholders,
community members, and staff. The Vision Statement
should be designed as a one-to-two-page graphic
handout that is eye-catching and easy to understand.

Provide a Technical Report with Options and
Recommendations. The City expects the Consultants
to prepare a Technical report that explores potential
updates for zoning consistency and provides
options and recommendations for new or revised
objective standards for residential development.

The Report should include a Zoning Consistency
Recommendations Memo that introduces different
approaches to bringing the City’s single family zoned
properties into compliance with their underlying
General Plan land use designations. This may include
a rezoning of these properties, creation of one
or more zoning overlays, or other strategies. The
memo should state which, if any, of the proposed
approaches would require environmental analysis.

Additionally, the Technical Report should include an
Objective Standards Technical Report that introduces
various options for objective standards for residential development that the City may want to adopt. The
Report should analyze tradeoffs in selecting different
options, including the potential impacts to different
stakeholders and community members, the feasibility
and/or potential economic impacts, and impacts to
overall design aesthetic and diversity. The analysis
should include a Prototype Analysis that illustrates
how changes in key development standards (such
as parking, massing, setbacks, and articulation)
would result in different building prototypes for three residentially zoned sites in the city.

Draft Objective Residential Standards and
Zoning Consistency Updates. The City expects
the Consultants to develop Draft Objective
Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates based
on feedback received on the Zoning Consistency
Recommendations Memo and Objective Standards
Technical Report. Both documents should indicate
the specific location where the proposed changes
will occur in the City’s adopted Ordinances, Codes,
and Plans. The City expects the Objective Standards
to include high quality graphics and diagrams to
clearly illustrate standards.

Complete Environmental Review. If necessary, the
Consultants will prepare all required studies and
documents for California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) review, including, if warranted, an
Initial Study and Draft and Final Addendum to
the General Plan EIR. For budget purposes, the
Consultants should list different costs depending on
the level of analysis that may ultimately be needed.

The City expects the Consultants to provide one
Administrative Draft and one Screencheck Draft
round of review for each document.

Prepare Final Documents. The City expects the
Consultants to prepare final versions of the Objective
Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates based
on feedback on the draft documents from decision-
makers, stakeholders, and community members. The
final documents will be presented to the Planning
Commission and City Council for final consideration.
16 CITY OF HAYWARD | Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates Our Approach
Based on our understanding of the City’s
expectations for the Objective Standards and Zoning
Ordinance Updates, we identified six themes for our
approach to the Project.

Collaborate with Staff. Close collaboration with
City staff throughout the project is an essential part
of our approach. While we have broad experience
with zoning code updates, City staff has detailed
working knowledge of Hayward’s regulatory
structure and development approval process. We
will establish a close working relationship and
regular communication with City staff throughout
the project. We will work with City staff early on
to define work responsibilities and communication
protocols. We will form an integrated and seamless
staff/consultant project team. We could also
provide optional staff training opportunities at the
beginning of the process to understand the details
and mechanics of preparing objective design and
development standards and methods for streamlining
residential development approvals.

Design and Implement a Robust Community
Engagement Program. Throughout the Project,
we will facilitate an effective engagement
program around three key components: education
and information; engagement and interaction;
and validation and direction. Education and
information include a Project website, project
logo/branding, e-blasts, social media posts, press
releases, newsletters, and informational handouts.

Engagement and interaction include community
workshops, online opinion surveys, and study
sessions and public hearings. We will focus particular
attention on engaging a wide range of community
members, including communities that have limited
or no access to technology or who are hard to reach
an/or do not typically participate in City processes,
homeowners, renters, housing advocates, developers,
and architects.

Clearly Define Issues and Opportunities. Key to the
success of the objective design and development
standards is clearly identifying the types of
residential development projects that are preferred
in the city, projects that did not work, obstacles in
the project approval process, and opportunities for
improvement. Early in the Project, we will facilitate
meetings and conference calls to refine the work
scope, thoroughly define and explore issues and
opportunities, and prioritize tasks. We will meet with
stakeholders selected by City staff to understand the
perspectives of the regulated community. We will
also facilitate a study session with the City Council
and Planning Commission to understand their
expectations for future residential development and
additional desired outcomes of the project.

Build on Successes. Every planning process requires
a solid foundation on which to build. We will identify
successful residential design that has worked well for
the City. We will research and analyze existing City
planning documents to extract design approaches
that could be implemented citywide. We will also
analyze recent relevant State law and provide a
summary of best practices regarding objective
standards in similar communities around the Bay
Area and beyond.

Create New Ideas. At each step in the process, we
will explore new ideas and innovative approaches
for establishing objective design and development
standards that address design, massing,
neighborhood compatibility, parking, setbacks,
and/or other topics identified as important by the
community, stakeholders, decision-makers, and
staff. Additionally, we will explore and present
innovative concepts based on our understanding of
best practices in residential and mixed-use zoning
regulations and our extensive experience working
with a wide array of cities throughout California.
17 MINTIER HARNISH | REVISED - January 20, 2022
Deliver User-Friendly Objective Standards for
Residential Development. We prepare user-
friendly residential design and development
standards in a format that is easily read and
understood by residents, permit applicants, City
staff, the Planning Commission, and the City
Council. While technical and regulatory, there
is no need for standards in the Zoning Code to
be difficult to use and understand. The content,
format, and presentation of the objective
standards will provide all users with a clear
understanding of the land use regulations and
development standards, and expectations for the
project approval and permitting processes. We
will provide graphic illustrations and consolidated
tables, where useful and appropriate. We will
eliminate internal inconsistencies and clarify cross-
referencing.
18 CITY OF HAYWARD | Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates Phase 1: Project Management
Throughout the Project, Mintier Harnish will
manage communication and coordination
between our staff, subconsultants, and City staff,
including meetings, phone/Zoom conferences,
email exchanges, and other communications to
ensure timely delivery of all tasks.

Task 1.1: Kickoff Meeting
Mintier Harnish will facilitate a kick-off meeting
with City staff and Consultant team to discuss
the project work scope, schedule, budget, and
communication protocols. We will clearly identify
the roles and responsibilities of key staff and
Consultants.

Further, we will identify the core project
management team and establish a schedule for
recurring bi-weekly check-in zoom/conference
calls and any additional meetings. Finally, we will
prepare agendas and action minutes for all calls
and meetings, and monthly status reports on the
Project.

Meetings:
• Project Kickoff meeting with City staff and
Consultant Team
Deliverables:
• Standardized file-naming protocols
• E-mail protocols to assure consistency in
team communication
• Standardized document format and style
guide
• Coordination meeting/call agendas and
action minutes
• Data needs list
• Community engagement event preparation
guides/checklists
• Monthly Project status reports
• Invoices
Phase 2: Community Engagement
Program
The Consultants will develop and finalize a Community
Engagement Strategy that we will use to guide
engagement throughout the Project. The strategy
will describe how the engagement will be structured
to ensure residents, businesses, property owners,
and other community stakeholders are aware of and
engaged throughout the project. This will include
not only multiple opportunities to provide input
and feedback, but multiple outreach techniques to
maximize community engagement. While we expect to
refine the details of the Engagement Strategy with City staff, our work program and budget estimate includes
the following engagement elements:
• Project website
• Project logo and branding
• Newsletters (2)
• Flyers
• E-blasts
• Social media
• Press releases
• Community Opinion survey
• Online engagement
• Community workshop
• Support of community led events
• Stakeholder Interviews
• City Council and Planning Commission Study
Sessions (5 total)
• Planning Commission Hearing
• City Council Hearing
• Translation services
As the Community Engagement Strategy is finalized,
some of these elements may be substituted for
others as the consultant team receives feedback from
staff, decision makers, and the community on the
most effective ways to reach the diverse Hayward
community.

Throughout every phase of the Project, we will facilitate an effective engagement program around three key
components: education and information; engagement
and interaction; and validation and direction.

Education and information includes a Project website,
project logo/branding, e-blasts, social media posts,
newsletters, and flyers. Engagement and interaction
includes opinion surveys and online engagement,

5. Scope of Work
19 MINTIER HARNISH | REVISED - January 20, 2022
community workshops and events, and stakeholder
interviews. Validation and direction includes City
Council and Planning Commission Study Sessions,
and public hearings. The following is a detailed
description of our suggested engagement activities.

These are subject to refinement in consultation with
City staff.

The following is a detailed description of our
suggested engagement activities. These are subject
to refinement in consultation with City staff.

Project Website. The Consultants will design,
develop, and maintain a Project website. The
Consultants will build the website on a user-friendly
platform that allows quick and easy updates to
the site. In addition to being an important public
outreach and information tool, the website will serve
as an administrative record of the project. It will
include all meeting announcements/materials, draft
and final documents, and meeting summaries. Once
the site is live, the Consultants will prepare email
blasts, use City social media accounts, and other
outreach methods to drive traffic to the site.

Project Logo and Branding. The Consultants will
work with City staff to develop an overall brand for
the Project. This will be carried through all materials, the Project website, and presentations to build
enthusiasm and ensure that this effort is distinct in
the minds of the public and other stakeholders. As
part of this effort, we will prepare three branding
options for the City’s consideration.

Newsletters. The Consultants will prepare two
newsletters at key points in the Project. The
newsletters will serve as Project-specific marketing
and educational materials for City staff outreach
efforts. The newsletters will provide a project status
report, summarize a key topic or subject, and
promote upcoming community engagement events
and online activities. The newsletters will be highly
graphical, attractive, easy to read, and typically four pages long. We will provide them to City staff for
distribution at the Planning front counter, in City
buildings, other public facilities, and events.

Newsletter #1 will introduce the Project, direct
readers to the Project website, and will announce the
Community Workshop. Newsletter #2 will present the
Vision Statement, summarize the Zoning Consistency
Recommendations Memo and Objective Standards
Technical Report, and announce the release of the
Draft Objective Residential Standards and Draft
Zoning Consistency Updates.

Flyers. The Consultants will prepare promotional
flyers in conjunction with all workshops and events.

The flyers will serve as easy-to-read handouts
suitable for posting in City offices and other public
buildings, community bulletin boards, and in store
windows. Mintier Harnish will also provide digital
copies of the flyer in sizes appropriate for posting on social media and other online platforms.

E-blasts, Social Media, Press Releases. The
Consultants will prepare periodic e-blasts and/or
social media posts at key points in the Project to
inform the public about engagement opportunities,
upcoming meetings and events, and availability
of new documents. We will coordinate all public
information through City staff.

Community Opinion Survey. The Consultants will
work with the City to craft, distribute, and tabulate a Community Opinion Survey. The Community Opinion
Survey will be a critical tool to understanding the
community wants, needs, and concerns regarding
residential objective standards in Hayward. We
will conduct the survey as a part of the online
engagement program. We will publicize the survey
through the Project and City websites, eblasts, social
media, and announcements at City Council and
Planning Commission meetings.

Online Engagement. The Consultants will develop
and use online engagement platforms, linked
from the project website, to collect input from the
community. We will regularly update the online
engagement tools with new questions, surveys,
opinion polls, and geographic mapping tools. The
following are typical uses of this engagement, and
other ideas will be generated in response to input
received, making the input for Hayward uniquely
tailored to capture community attitudes on design-
related issues. These online activities can also mirror concurrent in-person engagement done at the
community workshop for those community members
who were not able to attend in person.
20 CITY OF HAYWARD | Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates Visit http:/ /pleasanthill2040.com/engage.html to
view an example of how we have incorporated public
engagement activities on a General Plan Update
page.

Community Workshop. The Consultants will facilitate
the Community Workshop interested community
members. This workshop will serve to provide
a common understanding of the need for and
purpose of the Project, the key steps in the process,
community engagement opportunities, new State
requirements, and contemporary planning issues.

Mintier Harnish will also facilitate an open dialog to
gain input on the community’s expectations for the
Objective Standards Update and design in Hayward.

We will also conduct a visioning exercise that will
serve as one of the tools informing the Draft Vision
Statement.

Partner with Community Organizations. In order
to effectively connect with the broadest range of
community members, the Consultants will work with
City staff to identify and collaborate with existing
community groups and organizations for direct
community member engagement. We will inform
and educate group and organization staff about
the project, document content, and our feedback
objectives and provide them with engagement
materials. We will continue to work with the
organizations to inform and educate community
members and explore options for maximizing
community input and direction throughout the
remainder of the Project.

Stakeholder Interviews. The Consultants will conduct
eight one-on-one and group interviews via Zoom
or conference call with local housing developers,
architects, housing advocates, and others, to gain
an understanding of the ideas and expectations of
housing and subsequent development regulations
in the city. We will summarize the results of the
interviews in a memorandum.

City Council and Planning Commission Study
Sessions. The Consultants will facilitate five Study
Sessions with the City Council and Planning
Commission. At each Study Session, the Consultants
will provide an update of the Project status, present
specific topical information, and solicit direction
and feedback from the Council and Commission.

The study sessions will be an opportunity to review
community input received and discuss the Project
Vision Statement, discuss the Zoning Consistency
Recommendations Memo and Objective Standards
Technical Report, as well as review the Administrative
Draft Residential Objective Standards and Zoning
Consistency Update.

Planning Commission Hearing. The Consultants
and City staff will facilitate a public hearing with
the Planning Commission to review the Final Zoning
Updates for Zoning/General Plan Consistency and
Final Residential Objective Standards. The Planning
Commission will consider all public comments
and, at the conclusion of the hearings, make
recommendations to the City Council regarding the
Final Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency
Updates.

City Council Hearing. The Consultants and City staff
will facilitate a public hearing with the City Council
to review the Final Zoning Updates for Zoning/
General Plan Consistency and Draft Residential
Objective Standards. At this meeting, the City
Council will consider the Planning Commission’s
recommendations and all public comments. At the
conclusion of the hearings, the City Council will
adopt the Final Zoning Updates for Zoning/General
Plan Consistency and Final Residential Objective
Standards with any desired changes.

Translation Services. Our team has included a
preliminary budget for translation services in the
Direct Services line item in our budget. As requested
in Addendum #1 to this RFP, we have assumed
responsibility for providing verbal translation services available at the community workshop, as an option
for any stakeholder interview participants. During
the kick-off meeting in Task 1, we will discuss City
staff expectations for further translation services.

There are two basic types of translation services:
written and verbal. All Update documents can
be translated; however, we typically limit written
translation to eblasts, newsletters, opinion surveys,
open house materials, and other community
engagement-related documents. The Project Website
would be available in other languages as well. All
other project documents (e.g., Zoning Consistency
21 MINTIER HARNISH | REVISED - January 20, 2022
Recommendations Memo) can be translated, but can
represent a significant expense. Translation services
can be provided in multiple languages, as necessary.

COVID-19 and Community Engagement
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we do
realize that the extent of community engagement
and participation in public meetings, workshops,
and community events is still unknown. Our team
is flexible in our approach to collaborate with
the City on the facilitation of these public events.

We are currently working on several projects
that have temporarily transitioned to Zoom
or Go-To-Meeting virtual platforms for public
meetings and that have been quite successful,
particularly with stakeholder interviews. Using
virtual platforms over time can also save on travel
time and cost. We have also reimagined how to
solicit community feedback and have transitioned
several large outreach events to completely
virtual events. These have included interactive
online exercises, educational and informational
videos, live webinars with Q&A sessions, and
visual preference surveys.

As requested in the RFP, we have included
separate cost estimates for virtual and in person
attendance for each meeting. We will work with
City staff to finalize our approach to facilitating
community outreach, Study Session, and Public
Hearings, and are dedicated to ensuring an
inclusive process for all.

Deliverables:
• Community Engagement Program
• Project logo, website materials
• Project Newsletters (2)
• Community Opinion Survey (hardcopy/digital)
• Stakeholder Interview Summary Memo (Word/
PDF)
• Online engagement tools such as surveys, polls,
and mapping exercises, as planned in the final
Community Engagement Program.
• PowerPoint presentations, as needed
• Meeting notes
Phase 3: Vision and Background
Research
Task 3.1: General Plan/Zoning Discrepancy Memo
The Consultants will conduct background research
to gain an understanding of community priorities,
the City’s current residential development standards,
design guidelines, and existing General Plan and
Zoning discrepancies for single family zoned
parcels in Hayward. We will identify single family
zoned parcels that have underlying General Plan
designations that allow or required higher densities
and will summarize our findings in a General Plan/
Zoning Discrepancy Memo. The Memo will also
include analysis of the implications of SB 9 and any
other recent State legislation on these parcels, and
specifically whether this recent legislation eliminates any of the existing discrepancies in allowable density.

Task 3.2: Vision Statement
The Consultants will develop a Vision Statement
for the Residential Objective Standards portion of
the Project that fine tunes the project’s goals and
objectives, as identified through initial outreach to
decision makers, stakeholders, community members,
and City staff. The Vision Statement will be designed
as a one-to-two-page graphic handout that is both
attractive and user-friendly.

Task 3.3: Residential Objective Standards
Background Report
The Consultants will produce a Residential Objective
Standards Background Report summarizing recent
legislation, including SB 35, SB 330, SB 8, and SB
9, that restrict the City’s ability to deny projects
that meet adopted objective standards. We will
also analyze the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Off-Street
Parking Regulations, Mission Boulevard Corridor
Code, Downtown Development Code, Design
Guidelines, Hillside Design and Urban/Wildland
Interface Guidelines, and various Neighborhood Plans
to summarize the objective standards for residential
development that are already in place and where
changes or additions may be appropriate. Finally,
we will identify best practices regarding objective
standards in similar communities around the Bay
Area and beyond.

the City’s current residential parking standards
and the potential economic impacts of altering
requirements, particularly in the area governed by
the Mission Boulevard Corridor Code, which has no
minimum parking standard of altering requirements,
particularly in the area governed by the Mission
Boulevard Corridor Code, which has no minimum
parking standard.

Deliverable:
• Parking Analysis (Word/PDF)
Phase 5: Technical Report with
Options and Recommendations
Task 5.1: Zoning Consistency Recommendations
Memo
The Consultants will prepare a Zoning Consistency
Recommendations Memo that introduces different
approaches to bringing the City’s single family zoned
properties into compliance with their underlying
General Plan land use designations. This may include
a rezoning of these properties, creation of one or
more zoning overlays, or other strategies. We will
then analyze each site and state which, if any, of the
proposed approaches would require environmental
analysis.

Task 5.2: Objective Standards Technical Report
The Consultants will prepare an Objective Standards
Technical Report that introduces various options
for objective standards for residential development
that the City may want to adopt. We will analyze
tradeoffs in selecting different options, including
the potential impacts to different stakeholders
and community members, the feasibility and/or
potential economic impacts, and impacts to overall
design aesthetic and diversity. To help demonstrate
the tradeoffs of different options, we will include
a Prototype Analysis that illustrates how changes
in key development standards (such as parking,
massing, setbacks, and articulation) would result in
different building prototypes for three residentially
zoned sites in the city. As stated in the RFP, we
assume the City will work with our team to select
sites for the Prototype Analysis.

Meetings:
• Study Session #2: Attendance and facilitation

Consistency Updates
Based on feedback received on the Zoning
Consistency Recommendations Memo and Objective
Standards Technical Report from decision makers,
23 MINTIER HARNISH | REVISED - January 20, 2022
stakeholders, and the community, the Consultants
will develop the Draft Objective Residential
Standards Update and the Draft Zoning Consistency
Update. Within each document, we will indicate the
specific location where the proposed changes will
occur in the City’s adopted Ordinances, Codes, and
Plans. The Draft Objective Residential Standards
shall further include high quality graphics and
diagrams to clearly illustrate standards, as necessary.

For each of the two documents, we will prepare
an Administrative Draft for review by City staff.

Following a period for staff review, we will revise the document and produce a Public Review Draft of each
document as outlined in Phase 8.

Meetings:
• Study Session #4: Attendance and facilitation
of a Planning Commission Study Session on
the Administrative Draft Objective Residential
Standards and the Administrative Draft Zoning
Consistency Update
• Study Session #5: Attendance and facilitation

Deliverables:
• Administrative Draft Zoning Updates for Zoning/
General Plan Consistency (Word/PDF)
• Administrative Draft Objective Residential
Standards (Word/PDF)
• PowerPoint presentations, as needed
• Meeting Notes
Phase 7: Environmental Review
If required, the Consultants will conduct an
environmental review of the Public Review Draft
Objective Residential Standards and Public Review
Draft Zoning Consistency Update consistent with
the requirements of CEQA. The City certified the
Environmental Impact Report for the 2040 General
Plan in July 2014. Based on our understanding of
the probable contents of the Draft Zoning Updates
and Objective Residential Standards, the Code is
likely to be consistent with the 2040 General Plan
FEIR. We will make this determination in consultation
with City staff and the City Attorney. If necessary,
we will prepare an initial draft and final technical
memorandum supporting a finding of consistency
of the Public Review Draft Objective Residential
Standards and Public Review Draft Zoning
Consistency Update with the 2040 General Plan FEIR
or an Addendum to the 2040 General Plan EIR.

decision-makers, stakeholders, and community
members, the Consultants will prepare final versions
of the Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency
Updates for final consideration by the Planning
Commission and City Council.

Meetings:
• Public Hearings (2): Attendance and facilitation

24 CITY OF HAYWARD | Objective Standards for Residential Development and Zoning Consistency Updates

6. Schedule of Charges
We have included our proposed schedule of charges for labor and expenses for the Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates below. Within this schedule of charges, we have identified labor rates for the specific professional staff assigned to work on this Project. As stated in the RFP, we understand that the proposed schedule of charges is subject to negotiation prior to contract execution.

7. Budget
We have included our budget for the Objective Standards and Zoning Consistency Updates on the following page. The budget is organized by the tasks listed in the Scope of Work, hourly rates, and team member. The proposed budget is submitted on a “not to exceed” basis. The budget also includes direct expenses such as travel, printing, and translation services.

Our budget reflects the additional $50,000 added to the project total as a part of the December 2, 2021, Addendum #2. We included the parking study as a budgeted task, not an optional task. We have also included $30,000 as contingency for unanticipated work. We believe our original cost estimate was sufficient to cover the work scope described in the Request for Proposals. City staff may want to allocate contingency to expanded community engagement or retain it for unanticipated additional work tasks. If selected to the project, we will discuss these options further with City staff at the project kick-off meeting.

YANA LOGINOVA, EIT
Transportation Engineering Associate
Yana is a transportation engineering associate working on a variety of design, planning, and operations projects. She has experience working on traffic signal modification, signing and striping, lighting, ramp meter, ITS, and operations projects with private and public agencies throughout California and Oregon. Yana is experienced in applying the latest transportation software packages, including AutoCAD, Microstation, Vissim, Vistro, Sidra, Tru Traffic, Synchro 10, and Aimsun Next.

Relevant Experience
Westminster On-Call Staff Support, Westminster, CA. Yana assisted the City of Westminster in preparation for the citywide inventory of signalized intersections and updated the citywide local timings to ensure compliance with the latest standards set by MUTCD.

Yana developed the citywide Synchro Model to help the City identify the local routes which needed improvement in synchronization and to propose possible flush plans.

SR-134 Traffic Signal Improvements, Burbank, CA. The City of Burbank looked to improve various traffic signals along SR-134 and the surrounding area. Yana assisted the design team to prepare signal upgrade plans, improve safety for vehicles and pedestrian access, replace signal controller and cabinet equipment, and fulfill the requirements as set forth in the CA MUTCD.

Imperial Highway Traffic Signal Synchronization Project, Los Angeles County, CA. Yana is responsible for the design of the project, including twelve intersections improvements along the Imperial corridor within Los Angeles County, the City of Inglewood, and the City of Hawthorne. The project involves the preparation of traffic signal plans for traffic signal upgrades, modifications, and intersection geometry improvements including signing and striping improvements.

Olympiad Road – Felipe Road Traffic Signal Synchronization Project, Mission Viejo, CA. As a project engineer, Yana assisted in the preparation of the traffic signal timing plans for the corridor. In addition, she assisted in performing data collection and analysis to develop and implement optimized traffic signal synchronization.

Union Street Two-Way Cycle Track Project, Pasadena, CA. As a project engineer, Yana worked with a multi-disciplined team to provide public outreach, environmental clearance, preliminary and final design, and construction support for a two-way cycle track on Union Street from Arroyo Parkway to Hill Street in the City of Pasadena, California. The design will involve safety measures protecting bicyclists including median barriers separating the cycle track from vehicle lanes, as well as upgrades in traffic signalization and communications that will provide gaps in traffic for bikes and pedestrians to complete turning movements and crossings.

SEAN CARNEY, EIT
Transportation Engineer/Planner
Sean offers a broad range of analysis skills including signal timing, traffic operations analysis, transportation system planning, and crash data and safety analysis. He almost exclusively works with public agencies to identify and resolve the transportation issues of today and plan around the travel demand of the future. Sean is experienced in providing both quantitative and qualitative analysis for all methods of mobility and has worked on projects throughout Northern California and Oregon to address the needs of growing traffic, transit, and active mobility demands. Sean is adept at applying various software packages for traffic analysis including Synchro/SimTraffic, Vissim, ArcGIS, and Cube.

Relevant Experience
2035 General Plan Circulation Element, West Sacramento, CA.

Sean assisted in developing the focused travel demand model for the City, as well as applying the model to update the circulation element of the City’s general plan. Sean helped with the development of model inputs and developed a Synchro network for intersection analysis and a series of Excel workbooks to evaluate roadway and freeway segment performance. Further, he worked on incorporating elements of the City’s Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan into the 2035 General Plan Circulation Element.

Sacramento Downtown Transportation Study, Sacramento, CA. Sean assisted in the evaluation of multiple planning alternatives for the Downtown Sacramento street grid. This work included the post processing of activity-based model results in Excel and the mapping of these results in GIS. Some evaluation metrics included mode share, vehicle miles of travel, vehicle hours of delay, and street segment volume-to-capacity ratios for all streets in the downtown area.

Additional work included the mapping of all downtown bus lines and transit stops as well as the mapping of the downtown on-street parking data in GIS.

Rancho Cordova General Plan Update, Rancho Cordova, CA. DKS will provide the City with development and traffic forecasts on several “base scenarios” for the EIR on the general plan update.

Folsom General Plan, Folsom, CA. As part of a multidisciplinary team, DKS developed the alternatives for the general plan update. Because the City of Folsom is largely built out and the planning for the new growth area south of Highway 50 is largely complete, city-wide land use alternatives were deemed unnecessary. Instead, alternatives were developed for selected focus areas or corridors. Using the input gathered at the third Townhall Forum, the team identified focus areas that represent the greatest potential for future change, such as Sutter Street and Historic Folsom, the Bidwell Corridor, and the Corp Yard. The focus of the alternatives were options for enhancing these opportunity areas through land use and urban form, and for increasing connectivity between activity nodes within the city. DKS assisted in identifying options for complete streets for the focus area alternatives.

include a minimum of two (2) color palettes and shall not use a single palette on more than 70 percent of the residential structures. Stone materials shall not be painted.

CIRCULATION

Intent: To provide pedestrians, vehicles, and cyclists with safe and efficient site access and circulation, site design shall meet the following objective criteria:

• Pedestrian Circulation. All structures, entries, facilities, amenities, and parking areas shall be internally connected with pedestrian pathways. Pedestrian pathways shall connect to the public sidewalk along each street frontage. Pedestrian pathways shall be separated from roads and parking areas by a physical barrier, such as a grade-separation, of six inches or more or a raised planting strip.

• Vehicular Circulation. All parking areas shall be internally connected and shall use shared driveways within the development.

• Carports: Carports shall be painted with the approved color palette for the project.

• Parking. Parking shall not be located between the building frontage and a public sidewalk.

Uncovered parking areas shall include a landscaped break with one (1) tree and a minimum width of five (5) feet at intervals of a maximum of every 12 parking stalls.

FIGURE 10: UNCOVERED PARKING AREAS

• Bicycle Parking. All structures with dwelling units shall provide short-term bike parking in the form of an inverted “U”. An artistic rack may be proposed, subject to discretionary City approval. Bicycle parking shall not be separated from building entrances by a road, parking area, or structure.

Gilroy Mixed-use Residential and Multi-family Residential Objective Design Standards Policy – Adopted October 18, 2021

Multi-family Residential Developments

• Front entries. Buildings positioned along the street shall orient front entries to the street. Street facing residential units shall have covered front entries with a minimum recess or projection of 48 square feet in area.

• Entryway Design. Street facing entries shall be accentuated by a minimum of one (1) of the following:
• a change in roof pitch or form, such as a gable, that extends a minimum of one foot past the sides of the door jamb.
