SECTION E
CEQA COMPLIANCE
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 271 of 2161 C0 PL A CE W TH CEQA
Commission actions are subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Application requirements differ depending upon whether LAFCO or another agency is the lead agency pursuant to CEQA.
In most instances, the subject agency for a proposal has assumed the role of lead agency by taking an action prior to a proposal being made to LAFCO. When an agency other than LAFCO is the lead agency, the application submittal must include evidence of compliance with CEQA, including the Notice of Determination filed with the County Clerk and the applicable environmental analysis used by the agency. Ifthe lead agency has prepared and certified an EIR, the applicant must provide one unbound copy of the EIR, including any Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted. If a negative declaration has been adopted, one unbound copy of the environmental assessment must be submitted with the negative declaration.
If LAFCO is to be the lead agency (such as in the case of incorporation or most district formations), an environmental review fee will be charged. Although the application materials included in this packet should provide all the information necessary to perform an initial environmental study, the applicant may be asked to provide additional data.
LAFCO actions are also subject to the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) wildlife trust resources filing fee (Fish and Game Code Section 711.4). The applicant must show previous compliance with the DFG filing fee requirement or pay the fee upon application submittal.
Previous compliance must be demonstrated by providing a copy of either of the following: a) the receipt from the County Clerk indicating fee payment, or b) a Certificate of Fee Exemption (de minimis finding) issued by the lead agency, or c) a CEQA Filling Fee No Effect Determination Form from the DFG.
CEQA Compliance Documents:
III Notice of Exemption (NOE),
Or
El Notice of Determination (NOD), with one of the following 3 Environmental Impact Report (EIR), or
3 Negative Declaration with Environmental Assessment (EA) / InitialStudy (IS) and one of the following

FISCAL IMPACT REPORT
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 273 of 2161
FISCAL IMPACT REPORTS (F R)
Provided is a brief description of the fiscal analysis required by LAFCO for city annexations greater than 100 acres. The requirement is to assess the impact on other affected agencies, typically the County. The fiscal impact report consists of two scenarios. There should be a fiscal analysis of the annexation area as if it were to remain unincorporated. This would include the net cost of all services provided by the County (both countywide andmunicipal services) through build-out. The other analysis should determine the net cost of those county services assuming the area is annexed to the city under the city's pre-zoning through build-out.
The impact of the annexation itself is the difference between these two scenarios.
Contact Scott Bruckner, Senior Management Analyst, at the County Executive Office at (951) 955—1110 for further information.

The Local Agency Formation Commission is required to adopt a sphere of influence for each local governmental agency in the County within LAFCO jurisdiction. A “sphere of in?uence" is de?ned as a “plan for the probable physical boundaries and service area of a local government agency", such as a city or special district.
An adopted sphere of influence is primarily a planning tool which provides guidance in reviewing individual proposals, promotes efficient provision of organized community services, and prevents duplication of services. Inclusion within an agency’s sphere does not indicate that an affected area will automatically be annexed. An adopted sphere of influence is one of several factors the Commission must consider in reviewing individual proposals.
In determining the sphere of in?uence of each local agency, the commission shall consider and prepare a written statement of its determinations with respect to each of the following:
1. The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open-space lands
2. The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area
3. The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide.
4. The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area ifthe commission determines thatthey are relevant to the agency.
5. For an update of a sphere of in?uence of a city or special district that provides public facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire protection, the present and probable need for those public facilities and services of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of influence.
Applications for an amendment to a sphere of influence must be accompanied by an analysis addressing each of the above factors

This subarea contains the eastern portion of lndio's sphere of in?uence. The area is largely passive open space, housing a limited amount of existing commercial development and resource extraction. The Eastern Sphere is considered a long-term planning reserve area. It may be considered for future urban expansion, including Desert Estates, when and if the capacity of India's existing incorporated area is substantially exhausted. Annexation must not create a revenue drain on the City. Some of the subarea is covered by the CVMSHCP. Hillside views from Indio should be maintained.
Eastern Sphere
Support active and passive recreational opportunities in the area.
Implement the Coachella Valley Multi—Species Habitat Conservation Plan.
Before allowing annexation, create a land use plan and conduct a related ?scal analysis that demonstrates that annexation will be revenue neutral or revenue enhancing.
Strongly limit the type, location, and nature of new development, in compliance with CVMSHCP.

IND/O GENERAL PLAN " CHAPTER 5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT ey osieraiosa rae es
India has prepared an Economic Development Action Plan, which identifies strategies to strengthen and build upon the City’s key assets and opportunities for economic growth. The Action Plan contains the following community goals:
Bolster lndio’s tourism and hospitality sector
Strengthen lndio’s existing retail base and recruit new retail development Create livable communities and facilitate neighborhood revitalization Promote lndio’s image, identity, and opportunities
Be development ready
Seek alternative sources of sustainable revenue
NP‘P‘FS’UN!‘
Create new job opportunities
The Economic Development Element of the General Plan builds upon this foundation, taking steps to foster continued economic growth and prosperity. This Economic Development Element will provide policies that support the community goals and vision that is stated by the General Plan as a whole. The Element is closely tied to several other elements that are associated with the physical development of Indio. It is correlated to the Land Use and Community Design Element in that the development pattern, mix of land uses, and aesthetic improvements are important components of a balanced and healthy economy. It is associated with the Housing Element, which addresses the provision of housing for all income groups to support a diverse population and laborforce. It is related to the Mobility Element, which addresses the variety of transportation options available to access job centers, shopping areas, schools, and public facilities. It is also associated with the Conservation Element, which establishes a framework for the responsible and efficient use of resources. Additionally, the Economic Development Element is related to the Parks and Recreation Element insofar as parks, recreational facilities, and community gardens attract users and visitors and offer opportunities to host special events or support other economic development activities.

As the ”City of Festivals," Indio is recognized as a premier location for arts and entertainment, education, commerce, history, and culture. The City annually hosts a variety of world-renowned cultural festivals and events, such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival, that attract nearly 1.4 million visitors. Increasing the ability of the City to capture a higher proportion of these taxable expenditures is an important opportunity. To approach this opportunity, the City can focus on expanding the development of tourism-related uses, specifically in Midtown, the Fantasy Springs Leisure and Hospitality District, Empire Polo Club Resort and Entertainment District, and Polo Square Lifestyle Zone. The addition of lodging, dining, and hospitality businesses will encourage visitors to stay in Indio, which will create economic benefits for the entire community.
Festival City
lndio is the original City of the Coachella Valley and for most of its history the community has served as an important center for regional commercial activity. With over 2,000 businesses ranging in size from small businesses to large-scale commercial enterprises, Indio is continually in the process of reinventing and growing as a vibrant community with a strong and diverse commercial base.
Economic Diversity
The revitalization of Downtown has been a priority for many years. While the recent development of the College ofthe Desert’s Indio Campus, Lorna Linda University Children’s Health Indio, Coachella Valley Arts Center, Coachella Valley History Museum, and Indio Performing Arts Center has brought new life to Downtown, the necessary catalytic projects to modernize Downtown have not yet materialized. To address these concerns, the City has prepared 3 Downtown Specific Plan that seeks to transform the area into a vibrant, mixed-use destination. California Desert Trial Academy College of Law, as of 2018 the only law school in Riverside County, recently opened and the new John J. Benoit Detention Center is currently under construction, reinforcing Indio‘s role as the second county seat. To expand economic growth, the City is working with the Coachella Valley Economic Partnership, East Valley Coalition, and Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce to provide business assistance services for existing and new businesses. Such assistance may include low-cost office space and business support resources.
Collectively, these projects could bring additional year—round activity to Downtown.
Downtown and Midtown
Similar to Downtown, the Midtown / Indio Fashion Mall District is in need of redevelopment. Located at the crossroads of Highway 111 and Monroe Street, this district has the potential to become a prime retail and entertainment destination. However, the abundance of vacant retail space and vacant and underutilized lots has hindered the revitalization of this area. The City of Indio has been working with property owners to revamp the area and attract regional visitors. Further retail and residential mixed-use development opportunities may emerge along Highway 111 as the Midtown area comes to evolve. 5-3
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 292 of 2161 ‘» 5. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
As Indio continues to grow and attract new businesses, developers have seen the City’s full, long— range potential as a commercial location. In recent years, major retail development has emerged along l-1O and Highway 111, with the development of power centers, an auto mall, and small-scale retailers. These new businesses have not only increased retail and taxable sales opportunities but have also provided lndi o with a variety of employment opportunities.
Land Uses
To expand economic growth, lndio has designed the Land Use and Community Design and Transportation Elements to accommodate compact, mixed—useenvironments that are linked together by an attractive network of pedestrian and bicycle friendly streetscapes. Providing such uses promotes economic growth by supporting local businesses, creating employment opportunities, and giving developers an incentive to invest in the City. Through this Economic Development Element, Indio continues to implement actions that reinforce the City’sreputation as the place for opportunity and growth.

To maintain a highly educated and skilled workforce, lndio is partnering with local school districts and appropriate agencies to provide job training programs that can prepare the local workforce for occupations in new and emerging industries. This increases the economic competitiveness of the local labor force, which fulfills Indio’s economic development objective to become a key employment center for the Coachella Valley.

This Element provides the long—termvision, goals,
and policies for land use, development, and urban
design in Indio over the next 20 to 25 years Land
use is a required element, and topics covered
include land use designations, enhancement of
the Downtown and Midtown areas, preservation
of existing neighborhood character, development

General Plan since understanding characteristics
03the built environment—the location and design
0' our homes, stores, parks, of?ces and the way
that we interact with these various places in the
public realm — is vital to strengthening quality of
li'e. Setting the appropriate design parameters
for future change and redevelopment is critical to
realizing the community’s vision.
Building on citywide goals and policies, the
Element also provides goals and policies for each
of the City’s unique neighborhoods, districts, and
commercial corridors, delineating strategies for
the desired uses, character, and form for each
area.
The land use element shall include a statement of
the standards of population density and building
intensity recommended for the various districts
and other territory covered by the plan.”
The required land use element has the broadest
scope of the required elements of a general plan,
regulating how all land in a city is to be used in
the future. To fully re?ect the range of physica

IND/O GENERAL PLAN CHAPTER 3. LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN ey Co si e atio sa Strategies
While a clear vision of Indio's future isthe starting point and the target for the General Plan, the City’svision for the future will only be realized by ensuring that each new private development and each new public improvement builds towards that future. The following strategies shall guide public and private actions and investments to achieve the vision, and are re?ected in the General Plan Place Types, neighborhood subarea descriptions, and policy framework.
Make it Happen: Focus on target subareas, such as Downtown and Midtown, reinvesting in and connecting existing neighborhoods, while limiting the expansion ofthe City’sdevelopment footprint.
Let it Happen: Allowthe 42nd Street corridor to happen, ensuring the result is a connected, complete place with housing and commercial uses organized into a walkable, transit-supportive pattern of neighborhoods and centers.
Let it Wait: Delay annexation and development in the Northern and Eastern Sphere of In?uence subareas at least until existing large neighborhood in?ll areas are substantially built. Allowing development in these subareas will reduce market support for in?ll neighborhoods, result in adverse environmental and public impacts, and strain limited ?nancial resources for construction and maintenance of infrastructure and provision of municipal services to a disconnected patchwork development pattern.
Active: Integrate a range of housing types, amenities, and uses within compact, walkable neighborhoods. New uses and activities will be co—locatedin centers to encourage social gathering and interaction and to reduce vehicle miles traveled.
Comfortable: Reinforce human comfort in new and existing neighborhoods by making and sustaining safe, clean, and accessible places for all of Indio’s residents.
Accessible: Ensure convenient transportation connections, including roadways, sidewalks, trails, and ef?cient transit that provide safe and comfortable access by all travel modes.
Building Facades: Improve building facades and frontages with uniform elements of building design to create visual appeal and attractive business corridors and neighborhoods.
Buildings to the Street: Orient housing, retail shops, of?ces, and civic buildings to their adjacent streets so that streets are safe, pleasant, and provide useful linkages and spaces for daily trips by all modes.
Neighborhoods to the Amenities: Connect new and existing neighborhoods to adjoining neighborhoods, parks, schools, and retail shops through high—qualitystreets and pathways designed to facilitate walking and biking.
Neighborhoods to Centers and the Rest of the City: Provide route choices for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists to Downtown, Midtown, and other key centers, avoiding overloading major streets with traf?c and providing mobility choice to all residents. Mobility choice is particularly critical for the very old, very young, and very poor who have reduced access to automobiles.

Connect at All Scales
Agreement for Professional Services with Dudek for Annexation Services f... Page 302 of 2161 IND/O GENERAL PLAN ] CHAPTER 3 LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN Front Yards: Focus on front yards, which along with the streets they face form the ”outdoor rooms” of the City in which residents live, shop, and play.
Parks and Open Spaces: Form an integrated open space network that uni?es the City, weaving together neighborhoods, centers and employment districts. Design neighborhood parks and other special public spaces to enhance the value and pride of the neighborhoods around them.
Safe: Orient buildings towards public spaces to provide ”eyes on the street” to create welcoming and safe places for lndio residents.
Focus as Strategy: From the original small town around the Downtown, lndio has grown rapidly in patchwork pattern over the past 50 years. Realizing the new General Plan’s vision for better connecting those pieces and in?lling the gaps will require many decades of work. Only through focusing ?nite resources of staff time and resources and City and developer capital on high-priority areas will residents enjoy the bene?ts of signi?cant, tangible improvement within the next 10 to 20 years.
Downtown and Midtown: Focus on lndio’s historic Downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, major opportunity sites along Highway 111, and the County Fairgrounds. Collectively, these areas represent an enormous opportunity to realize many ofthe goals of this Plan, and to anchor civic and economic activity for the bene?t of all residents.
Entertainment District: Build on the success of lndio’s festivals and special events, which draw the world’s attention and investment, to support collateral development and improvements in Indio is a top priority.
42nd Street corridor: Establish a pattern of connected neighborhoods, centers, and employment districts along both sides of Avenue 42 to leverage the economic and ?scal value of that area for future generations.

lndio has an urban pattern that includes established residential areas and commercial corridors in the historic part of the City and suburban housing and commercial uses along the edge of the City.
The City’score residential neighborhoods are built at moderate densities with consistent setbacks in small blocks with a well-connected street network. New subdivisions have a more suburban building layout, with larger yards and less regular building placement within large blocks with more fragmented street network. Most of the City’s commercial districts, such as Highway 111, Monroe and Jackson Street, are developed in a strip commercial development style; however, Miles Avenue has a more traditional main street commercial-style. There are large building footprints in the City scattered throughout, and the hotels/big box retail around the intersection ofJackson Street and HG, among others.
Different patterns also emerge at the block level. Small, walkable blocks less than 2 acres in size dominate the older, central areas of the historic City. Moderate blocks of 5 to 25 acres are most common in the suburban expansions along the edge of the city core. Superblocks larger than 50 acres are found in the northern part of the City. There are numerous, very large, undeveloped areas scattered throughout the City. These large undeveloped areas can be a potential asset, as it allows coordinated development adjacent to existing development with a uni?ed vision.
Urban Form and Pattern
Gateways are identi?ed entrance points into the City that are (or could be) enhanced with unique design features, such as monuments, gateway markers, art, or signage. Currently there are nine primary gateways into the City and eight secondary gateways. The majority of gateways, whether primary or secondary, do not include gateway elements. These gateways are mapped on Figure 3.1. - Jackson Street, north of l-10: This primary gateway is largely undeveloped. Currently there is no signage at this intersection.

The Bermuda Dunes Airport is a privately-owned, public-use general aviation airport located along the central, western edge of Indio. It is an operational facility currently used by businesses, charters, medical, and other private and recreational entities. The airport services approximately 11,500 ?ights each year, with seasonal peak periods. As a consequence of the airport, certain restrictions apply to new projects within its Airport In?uence Area as identi?ed in the adopted Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP)for Bermuda Dunes Airport. Speci?cally, there are limits on the maximum structure height, use restrictions, and mitigation and other treatments for new development built within the compatibility zones identi?ed in the ALUCP. Figure 3-2 illustrates the compatibility zones and Figure noise contours.

LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN The General Plan Place Types Map (Figure 3-4) identi?es the future intended use of land on every parcel in the City. Equally important is to identify the locations where growth and development is expected (or desired) to occur and locations that should be protected from future development. These characterizations allow the public and decision-makers to have a common understanding of where change will occur, the vision for change in each area, and the overall level of intensity. Equally important, this map signals to the community that certain areas are to be protected from new development and land use changes.
Figure 3-3 indicates the location and degree of change for key areas within the City. These change areas were de?ned by consolidating existing plans for each neighborhood, analyzing existing conditions, opportunities, and trends, and facilitating discussions with stakeholders and the community. These also indicate the priority level for each area of change. De?nitions ofthe three categories are as follows:
Preserve, Minor Change: Areas of the City where the general character of the area will remain the same but improvement is desired in limited ways. This includes but is not limited to improvements to the public realm, the addition of a second story to a single—storyhome or the addition of community facilities or neighborhood—serving retail uses that are desired but currently absent. The majority of the residential areas and some of the commercial areas are classi?ed as preserve and enhance.
Enhance, Moderate Change: Areas of the City where change is desired over the time horizon of the General Plan and where change will happen gradually over the entire horizon of the General Plan and beyond. These areas are expected to see moderate development over time and the area may, after 15 to 20 years, look very different than it does today.
Transformation, Major Change: Areas where the community wants to actively facilitate signi?cant change in the short to middle term. These areas may look very different in a short period oftime and these are areas where the City of Indio may want to prioritize staff and ?nancial resources or actively encourage new private development.

IND/O GENERAL PLAN CHAPTER 3. LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN The General Plan sets forth land use designations called place types that indicate the purpose and intended use for each parcel within the City. These place types are developed to provide clear, yet ?exible, structure that adapts to changing economic conditions and community vision.
The land use place types are organized into three broad categories: neighborhoods, centers, and district.
Each place type may contain a mix of uses, including residential, commercial, industrial, and public uses, at a variety of scales and intensities. Given lndio’s place-making goals and the community’s interest in shaping the form and character of their City, each place type provides direction on use, intensity/density, form, and character. Citywide goals and policies are organized by broad categories of place types (neighborhoods, centers, and districts).
Neighborhoods are the basic building block of all great cities and this General Plan identi?es a range of neighborhood types for Indio. Neighborhoods include a balanced mix of activity that includes a variety of dwellings, small shops and workplaces, civic buildings, and parks. The vision of the Plan is to create complete, compact, and connected neighborhoods that provide a high quality of life for residents. Future lndio neighborhoods should mix a variety of residential types, parks, schools, and neighborhood centers within a walkable network of streets. The public spaces should be safe, attractive, accessible, and comfortableplaces to live and play. The General Plan includes several types of residential neighborhoods including Desert Estates, Desert Estates Transition, Suburban Neighborhood Low and High, Connected Neighborhood Low and High, and Mixed Use Neighborhood. Resorts may be incorporated into any neighborhood type.
Centers are concentrations of neighborhood-serving commercial uses, medium- and higher—density housing, and employment uses in a walkable urban environment. Centers bring goods, services, amenities, arts and culture, and civic activities within a short distance of residents. Centers are scaled for compatibility with nearby neighborhoods. They can be larger or smaller, more or less intense depending on the location in the City and the adjacent neighborhoods. Several types of centers are de?ned, including Downtown, Midtown, and Neighborhood Centers.
Districts are areas with larger concentrations of non-residential uses, typically dominated by a single activity. They include regional shopping centers, auto dealership centers and other auto service uses, larger manufacturing uses (excluding small of?ce and maker / Research 8LDevelopment uses). Districts play an important role in Indio since they provide jobs and economic development opportunities. By their intensity and single-use focus, districts are more automobile—orientedthan neighborhoods and centers. Districts can abut neighborhoods but great care must be taken in designing the connections and transitions between them. Several types of districts are de?ned, including the Work Place and Employment, Festival, and Regional Commercial.
The proposed Indio place types differ from traditional land use designations in that each speci?es additional guidance related to development form and character. These designations include allowable uses and building density but also address building placement on a lot, parking location and access, building frontage, and streetscape design. This re?nement is consistent with the community’s desire to provide more speci?c guidance on the intended future character ofthe City, and allows the City to establish zoning designations that similarly communicate form and character. e era a es atio s

Understanding Density
State law requires that General Plan land use designations provide a measurement ofthe maximum development intensity allowed within each designation. The three generally accepted metrics are dwelling units per acre, ?oor area ratio, and persons per square mile. It is important to note that density is only loosely related to urban form and character.
DU/AC— DwellingUnits per Acre
The term density is used for residential uses and refers to the population and development capacity of residential land. Density within the General Plan is described in terms of dwelling units per gross acre of land (du/ac), including existing and proposed streets and rights-of-way.
It should be noted that du/ac is not always
a useful predictor of neighborhood design
character or population density. While in areas
of single-family detached homes, du/ac does
establish how many homes -and presumably D
how many families — will be present in each 0,25FAR
acre, in areas of mixed-use or multi-family
development it is much less helpful. For
2'
FAR-— Floor Area Ratio
Development intensity, which applies to
nonresidential and mixed uses, refers to the
extent of development on a parcel of land or 0-5FAR
lot. Floor area ratio is used in the General Plan
as a measure of non-residential or mixed—use
development intensity.
Floor area ratio (FAR)expresses the intensity of use on the lot (see Figure to the right). The FAR represents the ratio between the total gross 1-0FAR
?oor area of all buildings on a lot and the total FloormuRulio(FAR):GFOSS BuildingN80 land area of that lot. For example, a 20,000 LOWE“
square foot building on a 40,000 square foot lot
yields a FARof 0.5. A 0.5 FARdescribes a single-story building that covers half of the lot, a twostory building covering approximately one-quarter of the lot, or a four—story building covering one-eighth of the lot. This makes FARa useful tool for measuring environmental impacts but not a useful tool for regulating urban form or neighborhood design character.
Persons/sq. mi — Inhabitants per Square Mile
A simplistic estimate of the number of total inhabitants in a square mile of a given land use designation, derived from known averages of building type occupancies.

The Northwest lndio subarea currently includes a mixture ofolder rural neighborhood development, newer suburban neighborhood development, agricultural uses, and undeveloped open space. It is bounded on the west by golf course development within unincorporated Riverside County, on portions of the south and east sides by suburban residential development within lndio, and the northerly portion of the area is bounded by undeveloped desert to the east, north, and west.
This area offers signi?cant potential for the development of Suburban Neighborhoods and Desert Estate Neighborhoods and resorts. It is recommended that a connected mix of such types be planned for this area, with Suburban Neighborhoods Low and High abutting existing similar neighborhoods, transitioning to Desert Estates and Desert Estates Transition neighborhoods abutting the surrounding open desert areas.

It is also close to many of Indio’s newest neighborhoods.
Avenue 42 Corridor
The mix of uses for this area will be largely driven by current and future market trends. The main strategy for capturing and leveraging the value of new investment in the area is to ensure connective development patterns and a strong public realm framework that uni?es future neighborhoods, centers, and employment areas into a coherent framework. New development in this area should be planned comprehensively with the ?nal street network and block structure, distribution of uses, and development types and intensities planned for entire neighborhood areas prior to any new development.
An illustrative diagram has been prepared for this area, showing Connected Neighborhoods with a range of low, middle and higher—intensity residential development and Neighborhood Centers at two intersections along Avenue 42. Properties along the south edge of this area are adjacent to the freeway and planned to be a Workplace and Employment District. This area should include an east—west street connected to and backing up to neighborhoods to the north. It will be important that uses be limited to non—noxious light industrial, R&D,and of?ce uses with limited truck traf?c.
Require master planned development and large scale comprehensive development for the remaining undeveloped tracts in the area. Consider the use of a speci?c plan for the large development sites within the neighborhood in order to promote an integrated development pattern.

GENERAL PLAN CHAPTER 3 LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN
The Interstate 10 corridor consists primarily of industrial land — with fragments of older neighborhoods — along the railroad line and Indio Boulevard (historic Highway 99), and auto-oriented regional commercia l uses. These areas developed naturally next to the railroad and Highway99 early in Indio’s evolution. These areas include a mix of outdated industrialfacilities and housing and newer industrial and of?ce facilities.
The major opportunity that this area presents for the future is a “seam” of existing and newjobs‘ina central location, with good access from the region, the City, and adjoining neighborhoods. The areas would provide for a wide variety of employment types, including, but not limited to, light industrial, manufacturing, logistics, of?ce, and auto mall. Retail and service uses will be integrated into the area to support employers. New developments should be connected to, but buffered from, existing and future neighborhoods on adjacent properties.

IND/O GENERAL PLAN [ CHAPTER 3 LAND USE AND URBAN DESIGN Indio's Festival District represents an unlikely and unique resource for the community — a private initiative that has put this City on the international entertainment map. The success of this venue springs from its combination of isolation and accessibility. As it matures from occasional concerts and special events to a more permanent venue, there are opportunities for surrounding it with carefully—considered hospitality and visitoreserving facilities and resort—oriented housing.
Strictly limit uses of surrounding properties to uses that are directly supportive of, or not in con?ict with, festival—resort atmosphere.
Provide all-mode connectivity between new hospitality and resort development to the festival grounds to promote a safe, active and attractive environment for visitors. Preserve and enhance access to and from District.
Retain 20-acre minimum project master plan requirement in place for new development to help maintain a high-quality and cohesive design character. Incentivize smaller properties to coordinate with adjacent properties. Consider the development of a coordinated Festival District Strategy.
Consider hospitality support services, small—scaleservice retail, and resort-oriented housing that add to a cohesive festival district.
Protect the festival grounds from encroachment by potential land use incompatibilities, recognizing the highly variable and intense use ofthe festival grounds.

Complete neighborhoods. Through the development entitlement process, ensure that all new Neighborhoods (areas with a ”Neighborhood” General Plan Designation) are complete and well — structured such that the physical layout and land use mix promote walking to services, biking and transit use, are family friendly, and address the needs of multiple ages and physical abilities. New neighborhoods should have the following characteristics:
0 Contain short, walkable block lengths.
- Contain a high level of connectivity for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles where practicable. - Organize around a central focal point such as a park, school, civic building or neighborhood retail such that most homes are no more than one quarter-mile from this focal point. ' Have goods and services within a short walking distance. - Contain a diversity of housing types, where possible. 0 Have homes with entries and windows facing the street. 0 Have a grid or modified grid street network (except where topography necessitates another street network layout).
0 Provide a diversity of architectural styles.
Balanced neighborhoods. Within the allowed densities and housing types, promote and allow for a range of housing and price levels within each neighborhood in order to accommodate diverse ages and incomes. For development projects larger than ?ve acres, require that a diversity of housing types be provided and that these housing types be mixed rather than segregated by unit type.
Housing affordability. Ensure affordable housing is distributed throughout the City to avoid concentrations of poverty and to be accessible to jobs.

Consultant agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subconsultant, subcontractor or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement naming the Indemnified Parties as additional indemnitees. In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of City to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on City and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder.

SCOPE OF WORK
Greenwood Transportation Engineers Inc will provide the City of Indio with the full compliment of professional traffic engineering and transportation planning services throughout the course of this contract. Our staff members have over 80 years of accumulated traffic engineering and transportation planning experience. We each have private sector consulting and public sector experience, which allows us to understand issues from each perspective. We have been very involved with regional transportation issues, such as CV Link and the Valley-Wide Signal Synchronization Program, and we understand the issues that will need to be overcome for implementation. This deep understanding of a wide range of topics and experience allows us to identify effective and practical solutions to traffic issues and uniquely qualifies us to serve the City of Indio.
Tasks specified in the Request for Qualifications will be performed as follows:
On-Call Services for traffic engineering and transportation planning. We will provide a response time of no more than one business day. Most inquiries will receive immediate or same-day response.
Plan Review of traffic engineering plans for capital improvement and land development projects, including traffic signals, signing and striping, and work area traffic control. We will perform these reviews within two weeks of our receipt of plans.
Review studies and reports for traffic engineering issues related to capital improvement and land development projects including traffic impact reports and parking studies. We will review studies and reports and make recommendations for mitigation measures and conditions of approval within two weeks of our receipt.
Prepare grant applications for traffic safety and capacity improvements. We will identify opportunities for grants and prepare applications upon staff approval.
Analyze and evaluate traffic control devices and make recommendations to address concerns and requests from the public and City staff. We will use our accumulated experience of nearly 50 years in municipal traffic engineering to develop sound, practical recommendations regarding traffic control devices. In addition to our practical day-today experience, Mark Greenwood, P.E. will bring his expertise having been past Chairman of the California Traffic Control Devices Committee and current Technical Committee member of the National Committee for Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
Analyze the need for, and safe operation of, traffic control devices including traffic signals, signs, striping, and pavement & curb markings, and prepare work orders when modifications are needed.
Review and approve temporary traffic control plans for work areas. We will use our accumulated experience of nearly 50 years in municipal traffic engineering to develop sound, practical, recommendations regarding temporary traffic control plans.

PROPOSAL FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
CITY OF INDIO
May 7, 2024
Consult with adjacent and regional jurisdictions regarding mutual traffic engineering and transportation planning issues. We are well versed in the cooperation and coordination activities between agencies that are needed in order to provide a seamless transportation system for the community. We will advise City staff on the nuances of regional transportation policies and programs to provide the best outcomes for the City of Indio.
Prepare and/or review engineering and traffic surveys to establish enforceable speed limits. Our years of experience have taught us how controversial and difficult this issue can be. We will provide recommendations in a format that is easy to read and understand for decision makers.
Identify the “Top 25” collision locations annually. Using city-provided data and our extensive experience with the GIS-Based Countywide Traffic Collision Records System, we will identify the top 25 collision locations by both number of collisions and collision rate annually. Once identified, the locations will be analyzed and recommendations to reduce collisions will be provided.
Administer the City’s Golf Cart Transportation Program. Golf cart transportation programs are somewhat unique to the Coachella Valley, although there are a few programs scattered throughout the state. Having managed a golf cart transportation program in the Coachella Valley for many years, our extensive experience allows us to administer this program very efficiently.
Chair quarterly City Traffic Committee meetings. Our extensive municipal engineering experience provides the background and skills needed for this important task. We will bring our full technical expertise to the committee and will facilitate communication by fostering an environment where ideas are discussed freely.
Attend public meetings. Having many years of experience with City Councils and Planning Commissions, we understand the need to communicate issues and recommendations clearly, in plain language, to elected and appointed officials and the public. We also understand our role is to support City management and staff by making sound technical recommendations. The direction of the decisionmakers will then be carried out.
Office hours We propose to hold office hours at Indio City Hall for two half-days per week during peak season only, November through April. During the remainder of the year, we will be available by phone, email, or in-person to respond to issues within 24 hours.
Other traffic engineering and transportation planning duties as assigned. We acknowledge that the City’s needs are flexible and varied and that it is not possible to foresee all tasks in advance. We are committed and prepared to address all traffic engineering and transportation planning needs that arise.

CITY OF INDIO

We also propose the following tasks as being necessary for comprehensive traffic engineering and transportation planning services:
Special event traffic control planning. Being “The City of Festivals”, this is an important task for the City of Indio. Our staff has many years of successful traffic control planning for events such as parades, marches and processions, runs from 5Ks to marathons, major cycling events, triathlons, visits by heads of state, and many other community events. We understand the balance needed to provide space and access for these important events while maintaining traffic circulation for the overall community.
The above tasks are all equally important to the safe and efficient operation of the City’s transportation system and they must be addressed carefully and individually. However, the two most important tasks for this contract are communication and timeliness. The best technical work isn’t of much use if the issue and solution can’t be communicated effectively to decision makers and the public. Similarly, a solution brought forward too late only frustrates the process and the people involved. We pride ourselves on our ability to communicate difficult technical issues effectively and on our punctual completion of tasks.
