Police Lieutenant Shaun Stephens presented that in June 2023, the city applied for a tobacco prevention law enforcement grant through the State of California Department of Justice. Originally we applied for a $416,00 grant for a specialized detective for 3 years. Ultimately, the Department of Justice awarded just over $23,053 over 36 months, that would cover overtime costs for current police officers to conduct retail compliance checks and decoy operations and administrative costs (HR, Payroll, etc.) The City of Kingsburg Police Department was notified in October that we were awarded the grant and we need to get back to the DOJ by February 24th, 2024, with the approval of the Council for the funds.

Council Member Silva asked if Townsend was part of the grant application. Lt. Stephens clarified they were involved.

A motion was made by Council Member North, seconded by Council Member Smith, to approve Resolution 2023-064 accepting the grant. The motion carried by an unanimous voice vote.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) Act requires water agencies to develop UWMPs every five years and file this plan with the Department of Water Resources (DWR), the California State Library, and the city or county to which the supplier provides water. All urban water suppliers are required to prepare an UWMP if they supply water to more than 3,000 customers or more than 3,000 acre-feet annually. The City of Kingsburg has prepared the UWMP in accordance with the 2020 California UWMP Guidebook and the Water Conservation Bill of 2009 SB X7-7. The report addresses several issues, including water demands, water supply, and water conservation.

Historical and projected water demands are identified within the report. There are also per capita use goals for 2020 and 2025 that are also included in the report. Calculations were prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined within the Guidebook. Based on these calculations, the City is currently in compliance with the calculated use goal.

The UWMP also addresses current and future water supply. The City’s source for water supply is groundwater.

This is not anticipated to change for the timeline identified in the Guidelines. The City is assisting with overall Kings Basin overdraft issues through participation within the South Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency.

Water Shortage Contingency Plans and conservations programs are included in the UWMP. The City’s 2020 UWMP includes a draft WSCP to update the previous plan adopted in March of 2012 and comply with the latest regulations. and is included in the appendix of the UWMP. The City’s residents are continuing to reduce their water usage on a per capita basis, based on the water usage numbers within the report. There continues to be opportunities for residents to upgrade appliances and plumbing fixtures with state-funded rebates.

After City Council adoption of the UWMP, the report will be submitted to DWR for review and approval.

1. UWMP is available for review in the office of the City Clerk and on the website here.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING STAFF REPORT
REPORT TO: Mayor Pursell, Jr. & City Council
REPORT FROM: Holly Owen, Community Development Director REVIEWED BY:

AGENDA ITEM: General Plan Update and Recommendation
ACTION REQUESTED: Ordinance Resolution _ Motion Receive/File

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kingsburg’s General Plan was last updated in 1993. Although it still reflects many of the current community values, it is well beyond the recommended ten-year lifespan for a general plan and lacks several current staterequired elements (or sections). With direction from Council, a request for proposals to update Kingsburg’s General Plan was released late last year. Two responses to the Request for Proposal (RFP) were submitted in February 2023, one from Precision Engineering and one from PlaceWorks.

At the April 24, 2023 Finance Committee meeting, the Committee requested that the Community Development Director initiate further discussions with the respondents. Discussions ensued about the specific scope of work, the proposed teams and level of recent experience with preparing General Plans, especially in the Central Valley, and the budget to accomplish those tasks.

At this time, the original PlaceWorks proposal has been reworked, and Provost & Pritchard (originally part of the PlaceWorks team) has assumed the majority of staffing roles. Mark Teague of PlaceWorks has been retained as part of this proposal to serve as a CEQA consultant. The tasks currently identified as part of the General Plan Update include the following:
• Addition of newer required elements of any General Plan, including an updated Safety and a new Environmental Justice Element
• Inclusion of stakeholders currently identified with the Housing Element effort, and incorporation of data and recommended policies where appropriate
• Facilitating an early effort for the required tribal consultation as part of the General Plan Update process
• Facilitation and participation in up to three pop-up events for the public at city events (car show, farmer’s market, etc.) This would include social media outreach as well as online surveys • Provision of GIS mapping, with access to spatial data in a web-based format as a single interactive map • Four public workshops, including three joint Planning Commission/Council meetings (and one individual meeting for each to recommend/adopt the updated General Plan) The Finance Committee reviewed Provost & Pritchard’s revised proposal at their meeting on December 18, 2023, and has recommended approval of the proposal. The estimated cost for the project is $260,000. Savings from the original proposals are gained by a focused approach to updating existing elements and adding new elements. In addition, a streamlined environmental review will be undertaken that would meet legal requirements while using the existing General Plan EIR as a foundation for that approach.

As part of the council’s previous discussions on the use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, long-term planning efforts were identified and funding has been set aside for this important City task.

1. Preserve the Kingsburg Experience

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Every city, town, and county in California must have a general plan, which is the local government’s long-term framework or “constitution” for future growth and development. The general plan represents the community’s aspiration for its future and intentions for community development. The general plan also contains the goals and policies upon which the City Council and Planning Commission will base their land use decisions. Typically, a general plan is designed to address the issues facing the city for the next 20 years.

Kingsburg’s was last updated in 1993.

The general plan is made up of a collection of “elements,” or topical categories. There are currently nine mandatory elements: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, safety, environmental justice, and air quality. Communities can include other elements that address issues of local concern, such as economic development, community character, or urban design. Communities can also organize their general plans any way they choose, as long as they address each of the required topical categories.

Kingsburg, CA 93631
Subject: Proposal to Prepare a Focused General Plan Update, City of Kingsburg, California Dear Ms. Owen:

Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to work with the City of Kingsburg on a focused update to the General Plan. This proposal discusses our understanding of the project, recommends a scope of services together with associated fees, deliverables, and approximate schedules.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Kingsburg General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 1992. While there have since been several updates and amendments, its vision, land uses, goals, and policies have remained relevant and continue to serve the community well. However, in the last 30 years, State general plan regulations have evolved significantly, and the community has grown by more than 50 percent. An update to the General Plan is an opportunity to not only bring the General Plan into conformance with new legislative requirements but also confirm that the vision and goals that have driven community growth since 1992 remain unchanged.

The current format of the Kingsburg General Plan is also reflective of an approach that was popular at the time the Plan was developed. It integrates the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) into the General Plan policy document, which at the time, allowed for a more wholistic approach to implementation. However, it has also resulted in a document that is rather dense with a higher degree of technical information that can be less accessible to a broader audience.

This proposal is focused on bringing the City’s General Plan into compliance with State law, confirming the current community’s vision for growth and development, and establishing a user-friendly policy document.

PROJECT APPROACH
Our proposed scope of work takes into consideration our experience preparing general plan policies designed to comply with recent State requirements, including for the safety and environmental justice elements. It also reflects our experience functioning as planning staff for various communities within the San Joaquin Valley.

Key features and strategies of our approach are outlined below.

BUILD ON RECENT PLANNING EFFORTS
Fresno County has prepared a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP), of which the City is a participating agency. With the adoption of the HMP there is an opportunity to streamline the level of effort required by the City to respond to new safety element requirements. A preliminary review of the HMP City of Kingsburg December 8, 2023
Focused General Plan Update Letter Proposal Page 2 of 12 Job No.: P-23-63
\\ppeng.com\pzdata\docs\Marketing\Proposals\2023\City of Kingsburg - General Plan Update 23-63\Revised Approach\Kingsburg Focused GPU Letter Proposal_F.docx document indicates that many, if not all, of the safety element legislative requirements have been addressed.

This includes climate adaptation, fire hazard, and flooding requirements.

Our project approach includes a more detailed review of the HMP to determine what requirements have already been satisfied for the City and what additional actions, if any, are needed to ensure the Kingsburg General Plan is in compliance with recent safety element requirements. The level of effort in this scope of work accommodates updated mapping and revisions to the element to reflect current conditions, if necessary, but assumes that many of the State requirements are covered within the HMP.

TAILORED ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE MAPPING ANALYSIS
While CalEnviroScreen is a useful tool for establishing a community’s level of environmental burden in relation to other communities throughout California, there are some limitations to the tool. Since data is collected and analyzed at the census tract level, it may not fully represent the nuanced issues faced by communities that have relatively large or aggregated census tracts, such as the census tracts in Kingsburg.

Our project approach includes a more comprehensive, customized, and local analysis of environmental justice issues facing the City, which includes conducting a mapping exercise to consider additional indicators of equity, such as access to parks and open space as well as access to health care facilities.

COORDINATION WITH OTHER ONGOING EFFORTS
The City is currently in the process of updating their 6th Cycle Housing Element as part of a regional effort through Fresno Council of Governments. Outreach is a particular focus of the 6th Cycle updates and includes numerous engagement opportunities with community stakeholders.

Our approach to maximizing outreach efforts is to coordinate with the Housing Element consultants, as appropriate, to understand what stakeholders have been engaged in those processes and how issues being raised or addressed, particularly through the Housing Element update, may inform the General Plan update.

The General Plan update effort will build on the stakeholder list developed as part of the Housing Element effort and provide notice to those interested in participating in the focused General Plan update process.

STREAMLINED ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
We do not anticipate that any land use changes to the Kingsburg General Plan would be required to respond to State legislative requirements. Therefore, Provost & Pritchard’s project approach assumes that a General Plan Consistency Exemption in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15183 would be an appropriate determination for this effort.

Provost & Pritchard also recognizes the importance of initiating requests for tribal consultation early, due to the length of the required consultation request timelines under Senate Bill (SB) 18. Our approach initiates this request for consultation early in the process so that the statutory timeline does not delay the overall project timeline.

STAFFING
Provost & Pritchard has assembled the following key staff to prepare the focused Kingsburg General Plan update. They have been selected based on their relevant experience and will be integrally involved in the management and preparation of deliverables throughout the General Plan update. Additional staff resources may be used, as needed.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
PHASE 1: PROJECT KICKOFF AND INITIATION
TASK 1.1 PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING AND MANAGEMENT
Successful project management begins with coordination with City staff to review and confirm the expectations of the work effort. Provost & Pritchard will meet with City staff to discuss the proposed scope of work and schedule. In this meeting, we will:
• Discuss communication protocols and confirm key points of contact for the project, • Confirm the objectives for the project and key messaging for public outreach efforts, • Identify key stakeholders, and
• Confirm the scope of work and schedule.

\\ppeng.com\pzdata\docs\Marketing\Proposals\2023\City of Kingsburg - General Plan Update 23-63\Revised Approach\Kingsburg Focused GPU Letter Proposal_F.docx PHASE 2: DOCUMENT REPACKAGING AND DATA COLLECTION
TASK 2.1 GENERAL PLAN AND EIR DOCUMENT PREPARATION
Provost & Pritchard will repackage the existing General Plan and EIR into two separate documents: the policy document (i.e., General Plan) and the environmental document (i.e., EIR). Currently, these two documents are co-mingled, making the documents less accessible to the public and making it more difficult to find and implement key goals and policies. While we anticipate adding organizational components, such as a Table of Contents to assist users in navigating the documents, other additions will be limited and no changes will be made to the vision, goals, or policies of the General Plan or to the analysis, mitigation measures, or findings of the EIR. This task includes establishing a style template consistent with the City of Kingsburg branding. Both documents will be prepared in Word and PDF and maps/figures will be prepared in GIS, as data is available or easily verified.

TASK 2.1 MEETINGS TASK 2.1 DELIVERABLES
− No meetings anticipated − Kingsburg General Plan (Word, PDF) − Kingsburg General Plan EIR (Word, PDF)
TASK 2.2 GIS ONLINE MAPPING
GIS mapping will be a foundational aspect for accessing and assessing data during the audit and analysis of the Kingsburg General Plan. Ensuring that the most recent available City data is consolidated and made accessible for both City staff and the consultant will support the focused General Plan update effort. GIS mapping will also be an integral part of repackaging the General Plan and EIR documents.

To support the preparation of repackaged General Plan and EIR documents, and to facilitate the analysis proposed as part of this focused General Plan update, we are proposing to create an ArcGIS Online Application to provide Kingsburg with access to spatial data in a web-based format in the form of an interactive digital map. This task would incorporate existing data sets into a single interactive map that can support the focused General Plan update effort as well as future engineering and land use planning decision-making for the City.

The interactive map would also create a framework for future map interfaces that can be for internal use or made publicly. This effort would include establishing a base map template and standard symbology type for each dataset created.

This task would require the City to establish an ESRI ArcGIS Online account. Licensing fees would be paid directly by the City to ESRI. Provost & Pritchard will work with City staff to determine the appropriate licensing structure. Initial recommendations would include the establishment of one Creator license and one Field Worker license, which would allow access for the creation and administration of the account and allow viewing and data collection for the GIS map. Additional licenses can be purchased as needed. Initial map creation would include up to 12 data sets, including the following:
• City limits,
• Sphere of influence,
• General plan land use,
• Zoning,
• City streets and alleys, and
• Parcels.

Additionally, the map layers would include preconfigured ESRI base map themes such as aerial imagery, topographic, roads, and places.

\\ppeng.com\pzdata\docs\Marketing\Proposals\2023\City of Kingsburg - General Plan Update 23-63\Revised Approach\Kingsburg Focused GPU Letter Proposal_F.docx Typical search query tools will be included as part of the ArcGIS online map, such as finding by address, Assessor Parcel Number (APN), City owned by APN, measuring distance and areas, and the ability to turn layers off and on. The draft online map will be tested internally then shown in a meeting demonstration for the City to review and comment on. Change requests based on this review may include map layer color or style adjustments, adding map tools that are preconfigured in the software, and edits to built-in map function (i.e., labels, identify windows). Edits that require custom functions would necessitate an additional scope of work effort. The online map will be finalized and made ready for access by City staff. Provost & Pritchard will demonstrate to key City staff how to interact with the map and tools via one virtual meeting.

TASK 2.2 MEETINGS TASK 2.2 DELIVERABLES
− Attendance by up to 2 Provost & Pritchard staff
at up to 3 virtual meetings with City staff
− Confirmed list of layers for inclusion in draft
online map (up to 12 data sets)
− Draft online map (ArcGIS Online)
− Final online map (ArcGIS Online)
PHASE 3: POLICY REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
TASK 3.1 GENERAL PLAN AUDIT REPORT
Provost & Pritchard will review the repackaged Kingsburg General Plan relative to applicable State legislation governing general plans. The focus of the review will be to determine compliance with legislation passed since 1992, the date the current General Plan was adopted. The outcome of the audit will determine what new requirements will need to be addressed through this focused General Plan update effort. This may include the addition of new goals or policies or the deletion/adjustment of any goal or policy language that is found to be inconsistent with new State general plan requirements. We anticipate needing to address Senate Bill (SB) 1000 (Environmental Justice) and SB 379 (Climate Adaptation), which each require specific analyses for compliance.

Additional topics that will be reviewed as part of the audit include, but are not limited to, compliance with new flooding, wildfire, military facilities, and disadvantaged unincorporated community requirements.

The outcome of the audit will be documented in a General Plan Audit Report, which will include recommendations for compliance with State law. An administrative draft Audit Report will be provided to City staff for review and comment. Provost & Pritchard will provide City staff with an administrative draft Audit Report for internal review and comment. Our expectation is that the City’s Project Manager will resolve conflicts in staff comments before sending the administrative draft to Provost & Pritchard to make updates in response to City comments. It is also assumed the City will provide one round of comments. Provost & Pritchard will make the appropriate changes and prepare a final Audit Report.

TASK 3.1 MEETINGS TASK 3.1 DELIVERABLES
− No meetings anticipated − Admin Draft General Plan Audit Report (Word) − Final General Plan Audit Report (PDF)
TASK 3.2 PUBLIC WORKSHOP NO. 2 – AUDIT AND CONFIRM
Provost & Pritchard will facilitate a workshop to present the findings and recommendations contained in the General Plan Audit Report prepared under Task 3.1. The purpose of this workshop will be to get input and confirmation of the recommendations for compliance with State law and to provide an opportunity for the community and decision-makers to ask questions or provide input on the recommendations. We propose holding the workshop as a joint City Council/Planning Commission study session during or just prior to a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

TASK 3.3 GENERAL PLAN POLICY ANALYSIS PAPER
Based on the recommendations of the General Plan Audit Report prepared under Task 3.1, Provost & Pritchard will prepare the required analyses for compliance with the applicable recent State general plan requirements.

As noted above, we anticipate preparing analyses specific to SB 1000 (Environmental Justice) and SB 379 (Climate Adaptation). Additional data and mapping may also be required to address other new Sate general plan requirements, such as flooding risk, wildfire risk, impacts to military facilities, and planning for disadvantaged unincorporated communities. It is assumed that the analyses included within the Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional HMP, of which Kingsburg is a participating agency, are adequate to satisfy the requirements under SB 379. All required information to address new State general plan law will be documented in a General Plan Policy Analysis Paper. The outcome of this Policy Analysis Paper will inform the development of new policy language and establish the required information for incorporation into the Kingsburg General Plan in accordance with State general plan requirements.

PHASE 4: POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL
TASK 4.1 ADMIN DRAFT POLICIES
Based on the recommendations contained in the General Plan Policy Analysis Paper and on any input or direction from Public Workshop No. 3 – Policy Approach, Provost & Pritchard will prepare administrative drafts of the Kingsburg General Plan reflecting new or revised policies necessary for compliance with State general plan requirements. As noted previously, we assume that no land use changes will be made. The City will provide Provost & Pritchard with one consolidated, internally consistent, set of comments for review and revision.

Provost & Pritchard will revise the documents based on comments received and re-submit the revised administrative draft General Plan to City staff for review and confirmation. Should additional comments be provided by City staff, one consolidated, internally consistent set of comments will be provided.

TASK 4.1 MEETINGS TASK 4.1 DELIVERABLES
− No meetings anticipated − Administrative draft Kingsburg General Plan (Word)

TASK 4.2 PUBLIC REVIEW POLICIES
Provost & Pritchard will prepare the public review draft Kingsburg General Plan in response to the consolidated set of comments provided by City staff. The public review draft General Plan will be made available for a 30- day public review period and will be sent to all interested parties, including those agencies required to receive notification in accordance with the Government Code. The City will receive all comments during the public review period and provide Provost & Pritchard with one consolidated set of public comments for review and revision.

TASK 4.2 MEETINGS TASK 4.2 DELIVERABLES
− No meetings anticipated − Public review draft Kingsburg General Plan (PDF) TAS 4.3 ENVIRONMENTAL
We do not anticipate that any land use changes will be necessary during the focused General Plan update and, therefore, we assume that a General Plan Consistency Exemption in accordance with CEQA Section 15183 would be an appropriate determination. Provost & Pritchard will prepare language for the City to incorporate into the staff report, confirming and documenting the use of the General Rule Exemption. There are no formal public notices required for the exemption prior to action. However, SB 18 consultation is required to amend the General Plan and consultation request letters will be sent during Task 2.1 so that the 90-day request period for Native American Tribes is initiated early in the process. Provost & Pritchard will prepare the Notice of Exemption (NOE) following adoption by the City Council.

The purpose of this workshop is to present new proposed policies contained in the draft Plan and provide an opportunity for public input. The primary purpose of this workshop is to receive public comment and therefore, is not proposed to be a study session with City Council/Planning Commission as decision-makers will provide direction during the recommendation and adoption public hearings proposed under Tasks 5.2 and

PHASE ESTIMATED
FEE
Phase 1: Project Kickoff and Initiation $60,300

Total Estimated Fee: $260,000
Provost & Pritchard reserves the right to transfer unused budget from one task to another if necessary. However, the total budget will not be exceeded without proper authorization.

SCHEDULE

ASSUMPTIONS
• No land use designations, including adjustments to the density and intensity standards, will be made as part of the focused General Plan update.

\\ppeng.com\pzdata\docs\Marketing\Proposals\2023\City of Kingsburg - General Plan Update 23-63\Revised Approach\Kingsburg Focused GPU Letter Proposal_F.docx • Assumptions related to Task 2.2 (GIS Online Mapping):
o Provost & Pritchard will rely on existing data for this project. Requests to add data that requires creation or editing before it’s compatible with the online map, will be evaluated on a per request basis. An estimate of time and cost will be provided to the client before proceeding.
o The project includes an interactive digital map only, no printed maps will be created. o The City will be billed for the licensing of GIS software directly by ESRI Inc., and fees will be dependent on the licensing structure determined by the City. Additional costs would be required to establish an ESRI creator account (for preparing and hosting maps) and an annual subscription fee for viewing/editing. These costs are in addition to the estimated budget amount and would be paid directly by the City. They can vary but may generally be from $650 to $1,000 annually, depending on the options selected. o Provost & Pritchard can assist the City with the initial licensing set up and billing through ESRI Inc.
o Some performance limitations of a web-based map are created by either the licenser of the software, ESRI Inc., or due to internal software issues and are beyond the control of Provost & Pritchard to fix (such as servers being offline or poor computer performance).

Performance issues should be specifically noted by the City so Provost & Pritchard can evaluate if we can help resolve the issue. Screen captures or sharing screens via Teams meeting can be an effective way to show what the problem is and help Provost & Pritchard decide if ESRI should be contacted to help fix the problem. • Work is contingent upon all terms and conditions as agreed up by both parties, following Provost & Pritchard review of the City’s Standard Agreement.

We look forward to working with the City of Kingsburg on this focused General Plan update. Please reach out to me directly should you have any questions. This proposal is valid for 30 days from the date above.

4 We are the local team. PCE is headquartered in Downtown Fresno, just 21 miles from Kingsburg City Hall, and we perform planning work in cities large and small across the Valley. As local residents and as professional city planners we understand the unique culture of the region generally and Kingsburg specifically. We are plugged into the latest and best planning practices across the nation. Members of our team are actively involved with state and national organizations such as the American Planning Association, American Institute of Certified Planners, Association of Environmental Professionals, Institute of Transportation Engineers, Congress for the New Urbanism, and the Incremental Development Alliance. This gives us an understanding of the best city planning and development activities happening across the US and expands the toolbox of solutions that we can offer.

We have a strong consulting record. Our team has combined consulting experience of many decades and we are currently working on everything from General Plans to massive public works projects to tiny mixed-use infill development projects. We have decades of local government experience. Members of our team have performed public sector rolls ranging from City Manager and Planning Director to entry-level planners reviewing entitlement applications and answering zoning questions at the counter. We know what it is like to work with a General Plan day-in and day-out. Not only have we written General Plans, we have written and implemented the zoning codes that bring a General Plan's vision to life.

Kingsburg is a unique and attractive city with a high quality of life in California's Central Valley. It is located in a truly remarkable natural setting, situated on the mighty Kings River, with views of the Sierra Nevadas, and surrounded by some of the most productive farmland in the nation. In many ways it is a classic American small town in the best sense of the term, with a vibrant and walkable Downtown, historic homes, and beautiful parks. The City has used innovative programs and policies, such as the facade improvement program and its unique use of alleys, to maintain and improve the character of the community. As professional urban planners and as people who love cities and towns, we applaud Kingsburg's successes.

Like any city, there have also been challenges, such as how and where to accommodate growth, how to comply with rigorous and constantly changing State planning and housing laws, and how to maintain active Draper Street storefronts in the face of a nationwide decline in brick-and-mortar retail. Kingsburg has dealt with challenges thoughtfully and capably in the past and we fully expect that they are more than prepared to address the issues of the present and future with the same level of effectiveness.

We understand the City of Kingsburg would like to develop a successful General Plan update and the corresponding Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that reflects the uniqueness of the community, keeps innovation in mind, and which results in a final product that is succinct and user-friendly. We are in full agreement with this decision; while it is an excellent planning document, the existing General Plan was drafted long ago and an update is certainly warranted. There have been so many changes in the ensuing years--regulatory, cultural, economic changes, just to name a few--and Kingsburg needs an updated General Plan which reflects and responds to these changes.

The PCE team has a unique combination of experiences that make us highly qualified to deliver a successful General Plan update for the City of Kingsburg:

INCLUSIVE

USER-FRIENDLY

INNOVATION

SUCCINCT

CITY NEEDS/GOALS OUR APPROACH
5 With this extensive local knowledge and decades of planning experience in both the public and private sectors, we believe we are the best team to get the job done for the City. We have the ability to help the community articulate a clear and innovative vision, while ensuring that the General Plan's implementation strategies are not pie-in-the-sky and reflect attainable goals. Many of our contemporaries have spent all or most of their careers in consulting--this makes them very capable in many ways, but we think that unique perspective and public sector experience will help us craft a document which is not only compliant with State law and which reflects nationwide best practices, but which also is functional and accessible for local elected officials, staff, residents, property owners, developers, and merchants.

Based on our understanding of the City's goals and needs, the following is our general approach to preparing the City's General Plan Update.

Our project team is made up of a diverse group of Planners that understand the demographics of Kingsburg. We understand that the General Plan Update should include an innovative community outreach plan with an open and inclusive process. We propose to use a variety of methods to engage and solicit input from all groups/communities in the city, including both innovative and traditional methods of engagement.

We understand the City of Kingsburg would like to develop a General Plan Update that is engaging and easy to understand.

PCE will utilize consistent branding (color, theme, style, etc.) and incorporate tables, graphs, and graphics throughout the document to visualize text. For example, PCE will guide readers with color-coded topics and different sized texts so that the document is easy to follow. We will also utilize plain language instead of planning jargon.

Innovation will be the key theme of this undertaking. From community outreach and engagement to the formatting/style of the document, to the implementation methods, our approach will always be looking at ways to make sure the undertaking is forward thinking. Our team are members of the APA and have a pulse on current trends in land use planning and will ensure that the plan addresses major trends in land use planning.

Our team is skilled at providing information in a succinct and efficient manner. After decades working as planners and having to simplify complex issues in a way that the general public understands, our team will ensure that all components of the General Plan Update are not overly wordy or overly complex. 6 BALANCE

TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
REUSE

INFILL DEVELOPMENT

CITY NEEDS/GOALS OUR APPROACH
Our team understands that one of the issues that needs to be addressed is the balance between tourism-based growth and the needs of local citizens. Our team understands the importance of both factors and will ensure that the goals, policies, land use plan, circulation and implementation plan contained in the General Plan reflect this balance. Bringing key stakeholders to the table will help ensure this balance.

We understand traffic and circulation is a primary concern of most communities, including Kingsburg. Erik Ruehr, PE, Director of Traffic Engineering with VRPA Technologies, Inc., has over 30 of experience in traffic engineering and transportation planning.

He has extensive experience in the preparation of traffic forecasts for regional transportation plans, corridor studies, and traffic impact analyses. Our team will ensure circulation issues are addressed and innovative polices are implemented.

Our team understands that the General Plan Update must
address the reuse of underperforming commercial sites. Our planning team has extensive experience writing plans and policies that implement re-use of these types of sites, and on the private development side, has worked on getting these types of projects approved and built. We understand what is needed to make this happen.

PUBLIC SAFETY

RECREATION AND OPEN
SPACE
Planning for infill development is a critical to keeping a City vibrant. Our planning team including Bonique Emerson, AICP and Dan Zack, AICP have experience writing and implementing various types of infill development plans, codes and policies.

Having decades of both current and long range planning
experience, we will bring practical infill solutions to the table.

Our team is made up of people who have worked hands on with public safety staff in finding land use solutions to public safety issues. We understand how critical public safety is to the community and we will ensure that all needed parties are at the table. In addition, before we write any goals or policies, we will review existing documents, statistics, etc., and have extensive interviews with public safety staff.

Public access to recreational opportunities and open space are one of the elements that dramatically adds to a community's quality of life. PCE has years of experience writing policy and implementing codes and policies related to open space. We will ensure that open space policies and practical and implementable, so that future generations will continue to have access to quality open space.
7 ACTION-ORIENTED

REFLECT KINGSBURG'S

UNIQUENESS

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

STRONG COMMUNITY
VISION
AND

SOCIAL EQUITY

CITY NEEDS/GOALS OUR APPROACH
Our team understands that the City desires a general plan that is action-oriented. One of our team's strengths is that we have experience in local government implementing plans and policies.

We will ensure the plan focuses on strategies and attainable goals that can be monitored for effectiveness during
implementation.

Our team understands that the City desires a General Plan that reflects Kingsburg’s unique characteristics as a quality residential community and growing commercial city. Our team, being from the Valley, having friends and family who grew up in Kingsburg, have a strong understanding of Kingsburg's
uniqueness and will make sure that is reflected in the general plan.

Our team, including our environmental consultant, are based geographically within the San Joaquin Valley, and the majority of our work is with communities within Fresno County. This local presence and knowledge will increase efficiency and encourage the collaborative working process of the General Plan Update.

Our team members have attended the Swedish Festival and worked with clients developing property in Kingsburg. We bring the local experience in every regard.

FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY

AND CERTAINTY
Our team is committed to ensuring that the Kingsburg General Plan update reflects the community's vision, as demonstrated in our approach to public outreach. We understand that the voices and opinions of the general public are important in land use decisions. We also understand that developers and property owners' opinions matter as well since they are the ones who will be investing and developing. Thus, we have planned for varied outreach including booths at special events, online and in-person workshops, online surveys, and several public outreach meetings to be held during regular public meetings. We will also make sure that no voice is overridden by another. The built environment must be planned to benefit all, while also encouraging commerce, job growth and economic prosperity.

Fairness, transparency and certainty often get lost in an expansive document like a General Plan. We understand that these elements are critical to the City and fundamental component's of a functional general plan. Having experience in both the public and private sectors, especially working with developers on large scale projects, gives us the perspective of having to use general plans in a practical sense to guide development. Certainty is key in making developers and the general public confident in a City's General Plan.

Deliverables:
17 Biological Survey Report (Live Oak Associates, Inc.) Noise Study / Noise Element (VRPA Technologies, Inc.)
Traffic Analysis / VMT / Circulation Element (VRPA Technologies, Inc.) Updating the City of Kingsburg’s General Plan will necessitate preparation of a Program Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA review for a General Plan looks at the “big picture”, allowing a community to align its long term visions while reducing environmental impacts that may result from buildout of the General Plan. The General Plan EIR will be integrated into the General Plan policy document and will influence policy making decisions. It will also outline the environmental requirements necessary for future development in the City and will assist in streamlining CEQA review of future development.

C&B will be the Consultant Team to prepare CEQA environmental review services, as described in Task 4.

The steps for preparation and certification of the EIR are as follows:

Task 4.1 Public Scoping Process/Notice of Preparation. The Consultant Team will conduct the public scoping process, including preparation of a Notice of Preparation (NOP). The NOP will be noticed, published (including newspaper notice) and circulated to applicable local and State agencies pursuant to CEQA Guidelines. A Scoping Meeting will be held during the 30-day NOP public review period to solicit input as to the scope and content of the EIR. The Consultant Team will be responsible for the content of the meeting (presenting the project, preparing handouts, answering questions, etc.) under the direction of City staff.

Task 4.2 Technical Studies. The Consultant Team anticipates that the General Plan EIR will require the following technical studies, as further described below:

The technical reports will be used to prepare the associated topic sections of the EIR.

Task 4.2.1 Biological Resources Survey. Live Oak Associates (Live Oak) will provide the Biological Resources Survey. Preparation of the Study in support of the City of Kingsburg General Plan Update EIR will involve the following tasks:

Review Background Information and Database Searches
As a framework for the biological resource evaluation, Live Oak will review topographic maps, satellite imagery, and relevant plans, policies, and literature. Live Oak will also search the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) and the California Native Plant Society’s Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants for records of special status plant and animal species from and near the GPU area.

Field Survey
To characterize the land use, habitats, and plant and wildlife resources in the GPU area, Live Oak will conduct a general biological reconnaissance survey. During this survey, Live Oak will identify the presence of any habitats such as wetlands or waterways potentially regulated by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, or the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The survey will also identify habitats that could support specialstatus plants or animals, including federally or state-listed species.

TASK 4. CEQA ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
B
I
O
18 Biological Evaluation Report
Live Oak will prepare a technical report suitable for EIR-level CEQA review. The report would include a detailed description of the existing biological conditions of the planning area, including its biotic habitats, soils, plant and animal communities, known or potential special status species, aquatic resources, and other key aspects of its ecological baseline. The report would identify and characterize likely impacts to biological resources associated with each planning alternative, and would recommend mitigation measures for significant impacts as defined by CEQA. Where applicable, it would evaluate cumulative impacts on sensitive resources, meaning those impacts likely to result from the project (or alternative) in combination with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects in the area. The report would also include a discussion of state and federal regulations that could affect project implementation.

The report would be illustrated with photographs that document planning area conditions at the time of Live Oak’s field survey. Accompanying the report would be maps depicting the planning area’s location, topographical conditions, biotic habitats and/or land uses, nearby special status species occurrences, and any other relevant biological features in the immediate vicinity.

Subtask 2.1 Existing noise levels in the project vicinity will be sampled during the afternoon peak hour. All measurements will be made using an Extech Type 2 sound level meter datalogger. During peak hour noise level measurements along roadway segments near sensitive receptors, passing vehicles will be counted for a period of 15 minutes. Vehicles will be split into three categories: Heavy Trucks, Medium Trucks, and Automobiles.

Subtask 2.2 Identify Existing Noise Impacts. Based upon data gathered in Task 2.1, identify existing noise impacts along each specified roadway facility (segments) and at identified sensitive receptors. Results of the analysis will then be compared to the City of Kingsburg and CEQA Noise Standards.

Task 4.2.2 Noise Study. VRPA Technologies (VRPA) will provide a Noise Study Report associated with the General Plan Update. The information presented in the Noise Study Report will be used for both the EIR and in preparing the General Plan Noise Element. VRPA will conduct the following tasks:

Subtask 1 - Review of Scope of Work
VRPA intends to discuss any relevant environmental issues or concerns and gather pertinent documents or other information that may assist in the development of the analysis. VRPA will provide City of Kingsburg staff with prospective receptor locations for analysis in the NSR.

Subtask 2 - Current Conditions/Existing Baseline
Development and analysis of existing traffic/circulation conditions as well as the identification of existing sensitive receptors and/or noise generating sources. Developed and undeveloped land uses in the Project vicinity will be identified through land use maps, aerial photography, and site inspection. Within each land use category, sensitive receptors will then be identified Existing peak hour noise levels in the City of Kingsburg will be evaluated considering sensitive receptors.

Subtask 3 - Existing Plus Project Impacts
Traffic conditions for the Existing Plus Project scenario will be used as inputs in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM) Version 2.5, which is a noise prediction program. Current highway traffic noise prediction models have been shown to be inaccurate at distances of more than 500 feet from the highway. A current or future prediction model will not be used beyond that distance unless it has been validated for distances beyond 500 feet from a highway. The more complex the intervening terrain, the more rigidly the 500- foot B

limit will be applied; in some extremely complex topography, the limit may prudently be reduced.

Noise impacts associated with the construction and operation of the Project for the following Existing Plus Project scenarios will be identified and compared to the City of Kingsburg and CEQA Noise Standards.

Subtask 4 - Future Year No Build Impacts
Identify Future Year traffic for the specified roadways specified in Task 2, as well as other major planned facilities that do not currently exist, if applicable. Noise impacts for the Future Year No Build scenario will then be determined by the FHWA Traffic Noise Model Version 2.5 and compared to City of Kingsburg and CEQA Noise Standards.

Subtask 5 - Future Year Plus Build Impacts
Identify Future Year Plus Build traffic for the specified roadways in Task 2, as well as other major planned facilities that do not currently exist, if applicable. Noise impacts for the Future Year Plus Build scenario (considering Task 3.1) will then be determined by the FHWA Traffic Noise Model Version 2.5 and compared to City of Kingsburg and CEQA Noise Standards.

Subtask 6 - Thresholds of Significance
The thresholds of significance, as identified by the State CEQA Guidelines, will be used to determine whether implementation of the Project would result in significant noise impacts. Thus, implementation of the General Plan Update would result in significant noise impacts if it would:

Generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in excess of established standards, Generate excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels, or expose people to excessive noise levels. Noise abatement criteria is based on the land use activity category (recreation areas, motels, schools, residences, etc.).

Subtask 7 - Mitigation Measures
If traffic and/or operational noise impacts are predicted, noise abatement measures must be considered. Noise abatement is only considered where frequent human use occurs and where a reduced noise level would be of benefit. Noise abatement must be designed for a substantial reduction in noise, which is defined as a 5-decibel (dB) minimum reduction. This reduction represents a “readily perceptible change” in the noise level as described in Caltrans’ Technical Noise Supplement. Noise abatement measures that are determined reasonable and feasible and are likely to be incorporated into the General Plan Update must be identified before adoption of the final environmental document.

The feasibility of a noise abatement measure is an engineering consideration. Noise abatement must reduce noise at least 5 dB to be considered feasible from an acoustic perspective. As stated above, noise abatement measures that provide noise reduction of more than 5 dB are encouraged, as long as they meet the reasonableness guidelines covered under “Reasonableness” below. Feasibility may also be restricted by various factors, including topography, access requirements for driveways, presence of local cross streets, underground utilities, other noise sources in the area, and safety considerations.

The determination of the reasonableness of noise abatement is more subjective than the determination of its feasibility. The overall reasonableness of noise abatement is determined by many factors. Primary factors that affect reasonableness include the cost of noise abatement, N

20 absolute noise levels, existing versus design-year noise levels achievable noise reduction, date of development along a highway, life cycle of noise abatement measures, and environmental impacts of abatement construction. VRPA, working with City of Kingsburg staff, will make the proposed noise abatement decisions that will be incorporated into the final environmental document. Cost considerations for determining noise abatement reasonableness are evaluated by comparing reasonableness allowances and projected abatement costs.

Subtask 8 - Vibration Analysis
VRPA will evaluate the effects of ground-borne vibration from the General Plan Update on sensitive receptors within the community. Ground-borne vibration can cause movement of building floors, rattling of windows, shaking of items on shelves or hanging on walls, and rumbling sounds. In extreme cases, the vibration can cause damage to buildings. Annoyance from vibration often occurs when the vibration exceeds the threshold of perception by only a small margin. A vibration level that causes annoyance will be well below the damage threshold for normal buildings. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) measure of the threshold of architectural damage for conventional sensitive structures is 0.2 inches per second PPV and human annoyance response ground-borne vibration threshold level of 80 RMS. However, there are no adopted state policies or standards for ground-borne vibration.

Subtask 9 - Preparation of Administrative Draft Noise Study Based on the analysis described above, an Administrative Draft NSR will be prepared and submitted for review and comment. Five (5) bound copies and one (1) digital copy in both PDF and Word of the Administrative Draft NSR will be provided.

1. Executive Summary. This chapter provides a summary of the content and findings of the Draft EIR.

2. Introduction. This chapter introduces the EIR along with its contents, intent and legal foundations.

3. Project Description. This section describes the project – in this case the General Plan Update.

4. Environmental Impact Analysis, including the following issue areas:
21 Subask 3.1 Existing and Future Transportation Conditions. VRPA will identify current travel conditions. In order to supplement available traffic count data, it is proposed that AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts will be conducted at up to 20 roadway segments in the study area. In addition to model results, VRPA will document the Functional Classification System and roadway geometries. Based upon the model and other information referenced above, level of service will be conducted for roadway segments within the community.

Subtask 3.1.2 Future Transportation/Circulation Conditions. Projected future traffic roadway conditions will be updated using the Future Year 2046 Traffic Model results from the Fresno COG model and other relevant sources of future traffic forecasts. Based upon results of the future year model analysis, VRPA will document future travel demand within the community, and development of projected traffic volumes and LOS conditions.

This proposal assumes that future conditions will be analyzed for Future No Build conditions and up to two (2) project alternatives in addition to highways and roads, projected conditions related to public transit, bicycles, and pedestrians be reviewed.

Subtask 3.1.3 Circulation Element. Based upon results of Task 3.1.2, VRPA will identify appropriate improvement projects to address future transportation and circulation needs within the community. An emphasis will be placed on improvement projects and programs that can be readily implemented.

Subtask 3.1.4 Transit Policies. VRPA will reflect recommended policies for transit service in the City of Kingsburg.

Subtask 3.2 Plan Document Revisions and Final Circulation Element. VRPA will assist with preparing General Plan documents in consultation with other project team members to incorporate revisions to reflect input from the community. The Final Circulation Element will comply with applicable provisions of relevant state laws and will be comprised of a Background Technical Report. In addition, VRPA will respond to all transportation related comments from affected agencies and the public in the preparation of the final document.

Subtask 3.2.1 In connection with the above circulation analysis, VRPA will provide in the deliverables, where relevant, an existing conditions baseline, direct impact analysis, and cumulative impact analysis. In addition, VRPA will provide an analysis of feasible mitigation measures and alternatives. The analysis will also include responses to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) related questions as indicated in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G.
collected and analyzed will be applied to update, reflect and document the Regional Setting and to update/assess existing transportation issues and conditions in the community. In addition, the data and analysis will be used to help refine traffic forecasts, to aid in development of the future year analysis, and to help determine the benefits from various improvement projects.

Mitigation measures will likely be integrated with design standards to address potential glare impacts from construction and operation of future projects. This analysis does not include the use of visual simulations. If determined necessary, these would require an augmentation of the scope and budget.

Agricultural and Forestry Resources. Crawford & Bowen will prepare a programmatic Agricultural Conversion evaluation for the proposed project including quantification of prime or protected farmland, Williamson Act contracts, proximity of agricultural lands to urban uses, and projected potential loss of farmland to urban use. Potential impacts will be assessed and mitigation measures included as necessary.

Air Quality. Crawford & Bowen will provide the air quality analysis in the ADEIR. In 2015, the SJVAPCD updated its Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) and provided guidance for evaluation of long-range planning documents, such as General Plans as follows: “CEQA applies to a wide variety of projects. Complete general plan updates covering thousands of acres are discretionary projects and so are parcel maps and even site plans in some jurisdictions. The general plan often only identifies the eventual use of a parcel of land in vague terms. The site plan review may occur too late in the process and affect too small of an area to allow effective mitigation measures to be identified. In addition, differences in conditions at a site greatly influence the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The overall approach recommended by the District is to use policy statements, design standards, and community-wide programs at the general plan/specific plan level, and site-specific measures when the site-specific uses are proposed.” Based on this approach, Crawford & Bowen will provide a qualitative air emission analysis for the Kingsburg General Plan Update based on the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI.

Biological Resources. The program-level biological resources assessment prepared as part of Task 4.2.1 will be used to complete this section of the ADEIR.

Cultural Resources. The City’s existing General Plan EIR will be consulted to identify background information and relevant mitigation measures. Crawford & Bowen will conduct an updated cultural resources database search through the Southern San Joaquin Valley Historical Resources Information Center at California State University, Bakersfield. Crawford & Bowen will address impacts related to historical, archaeological and other cultural resources and will provide recommended mitigation measures.

Energy. Crawford & Bowen will provide a qualitative analysis of energy use associated with buildout of the General Plan. The analysis will follow the SJVAPCD’s guidelines for energy analysis associated with a general plan update.

Geology, Soils, and Seismicity. Crawford & Bowen will address impacts related to soils, geologic hazards, and seismic safety on a programmatic level.Effects associated with erosion, deposition, displacement, compaction or coverage of soils, alteration of topography, and geologic hazards.

Potential impacts will be assessed, and mitigation measures included if necessary.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Crawford & Bowen will provide a qualitative analysis of greenhouse gases associated with buildout of the General Plan. The analysis will follow the SJVAPCD’s guidelines for greenhouse gas analysis associated with a general plan update.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Pursuant to CEQA, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) maintains a Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List (Cortese List). As part of the Cortese list, DTSC also tracks “Calsites,” which are mitigation or Brownfield sites that are subject to Annual Workplans and/or are listed as Backlog sites, confirmed release sites that are not currently being worked on by DTSC.As part of the DEIR, Crawford & Bowen will review the online Cortese List in order to identify any hazardous sites in the area that may have been listed. Potential impacts will be assessed, and mitigation measures included if necessary. 22 Hydrology and Water Quality. The project is located within the boundaries of the Kings Basin Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (Plan). The Plan provides information pertaining to water supply/demand, water quality conditions, and water conservation strategies. The project’s water supply impacts will be analyzed in the context of this Plan and other relevant studies such as the City’s Urban Water Management Plan (adopted 2017). Potential effects of buildout of the General Plan Update will be described. The State Water Resources Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, have established water quality standards required by Section 303 of the Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The hydrology and water quality analysis will address the project’s compliance with the State’s construction stormwater regulations. Compliance with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System will also be addressed.

Land Use and Planning. Crawford & Bowen will analyze the proposed project’s impacts in terms of compatibility with existing land uses and consistency with policies. Crawford & Bowen will determine whether the project would physically divide an established community, result in conflicts with County policies adopted to reduce environmental effects, or would conflict with any adopted habitat conservation plans. Crawford & Bowen will also discuss potential policy conflicts between the proposed project and proposed and existing developments. If needed, mitigation measures will be proposed for any identified impacts in order to reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Mineral Resources. Crawford & Bowen will evaluate any potential impacts to mineral resources within the study area.

Noise. The Noise Study technical report prepared in Task 2.2 will be used to complete this section of the DEIR.

Population and Housing. Crawford & Bowen will describe population and housing impacts, in light of the proposed project as analyzed against growth assumptions and policies.

Public Services. Crawford & Bowen will use the most recent data available to discuss existing community services including police and fire protection, and schools. A description of potential impacts to existing conditions and services resulting from General Plan buildout will be prepared.

Mitigation measures will be included, if necessary.

Recreation. This section of the DEIR will address potential impacts to recreation facilities in the area as a result of the project. This will include an inventory of existing facilities, an analysis of the proposed projects impact on those facilities, and the potential necessity to construct additional facilities.

Transportation/Traffic. The Traffic Analysis prepared in Task 2.3 will be used to complete this section of the DEIR.

Tribal Cultural Resources. Pursuant to SB 18, the City of Kingsburg is required to consult with Native American tribes prior to adoption of the General Plan. Crawford & Bowen will conduct the appropriate consultation and will summarize the process and any responses that are received.

Utilities and Service Systems. This section of the DEIR will address potential effects related to the availability and capacity of utilities and services. Utilities and services that will be addressed include sewer service, water service, and solid waste collection and disposal. This section will discuss whether any of these services or facilities is below adopted standards, or near or beyond their capacity to adequately serve the proposed project. Where significant impacts are identified, mitigation measures will be proposed.

Wildfire. Crawford & Bowen will evaluate impacts to and from wildfire within the context of CEQA as it pertains to the General Plan Update.
23 5. Unavoidable Impacts. This section describes significant unavoidable impacts of the General Plan.

6. Alternatives Analysis. This chapter presents alternatives that are feasible to the selected project, and ascertains the degree of impact of each alternative.

7. Long Term Implications of the Project. This chapter describes long-lasting impacts of the General Plan.

8. Cumulative Impacts. This section discusses impacts that result when combined with impacts of other projects that may contribute to the magnitude of the particular impact.

9. Impacts Considered to be Less Than Significant. This section describes impacts that have been determined to be below thresholds of significance.

10. Persons and Agencies Consulted. This chapter includes a list of persons and agencies that were consulted to obtain information used in preparation of the EIR.

A cost estimate is provided herein which we believe will be adequate for the task. If the level of response exceeds the assumed number of hours in the cost estimate, Crawford & Bowen will respond to those comments that are above and beyond the threshold on a time-and-materials basis, or another mutually agreeable formula. Crawford & Bowen proposes to review all comments and then provide the City with an estimate to complete the FEIR.

Task 4.4 Meetings and Hearings. The project will require attendance at public meetings such as the scoping meeting, public hearing on the DEIR, and adoption hearing(s).Crawford & Bowen will be available to attend and present the EIR conclusions. Monthly status meetings via telephone conference calls are anticipated through the duration of the project. This task also consists of those management activities that ensure Crawford & Bowen’s ability to keep the project running smoothly, on time, and within budget.

As the liaison between the Crawford & Bowen team and the City’s staff, our project manager will ensure information is distributed appropriately, comments regarding project-related issues are communicated Task 4.3.1 Administrative Draft, Screencheck Version, and Public Review Draft Program EIR.

Crawford & Bowen will submit an Administrative Draft Program EIR to the City for review. Upon receipt of comments from the City, Crawford & Bowen will make necessary revisions and prepare the Screencheck DEIR for submittal to the City. This scope of work assumes a maximum of one review cycle with compiled comments from City staff on the Administrative DEIR. This scope of work assumes that this task will not require more than 60 hours of staff time. Crawford & Bowen will prepare the both the Notice of Completion and Summary Form for the State Clearinghouse submittal as well as the Notice of Availability for direct mailings and newspaper publication.

Task 4.3.2 Final Program EIR. Pursuant to Section 15088 of the CEQA Guidelines, the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) must respond in writing to each oral and written comment on the DEIR made by individuals, agencies, and organizations that review it. Additional research and analysis will be undertaken by Crawford & Bowen as necessary to effectively respond to comments. Comments regarding the sections or technical reports prepared by subconsultants will be routed to them for review and comment, with Crawford & Bowen responsible for final review for consistency and compilation of the final responses.

The FEIR will incorporate written comments received and response to comments.Along with the comments and responses, a list will be compiled of all persons, organizations, and agencies commenting on the DEIR. The FEIR will include revisions to the DEIR text and summary table, as necessitated by comments. Comments, responses to comments, and the list of all persons, organizations, and agencies commenting on the DEIR will be included. Also included are errata and other information, which when combined with the DEIR, will constitute a FEIR. This task also includes preparation of a Statement of Overriding Considerations and Findings of Fact. 24 Notice of Preparation

Project Management is a central and critical component of PCE's approach to completing the project on time and within budget. Our approach to projects is grounded in principles of flexibility, transparency, and accountability. We operate from a structured yet flexible framework wherein our team builds a work program that incorporates the needs of the city and stakeholders while subsequently allowing for quick adjustments and adaptability when needed. PCE's Project Manager, Mrs. Emerson will work closely with the City of Porterville Project Manager. PCE's approach, tools, and procedures for successful project management are outlined as follows. To ensure that the project will continue to move forward in an efficient and timely manner, PCE will:

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS

PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Consistent email subject lines.

Standardized document formats, templates, and style guides.

Agendas and minutes as needed.

Documents, notices, and maps are reviewed to ensure that they are neat in appearance, well organized, and technically and grammatically correct prior to submittal.

Public/City comments are reviewed prior to revisions being made and fully addressed.

Understanding Unique Scope. PCE understands that individual projects need to include different approaches, processes, and technical studies. Though PCE has extensive experience in our provided services, we understand the importance to include the city's and specific site conditions to plan for a tailored and feasible work scope to ensure that each project is carried out as needed. For example, PCE will prepare a Preliminary Environmental Review (PER) document to inform our decision on the appropriate level of environmental document (EIR or IS/MND) to be prepared before the start of work. PCE will also provide the City with an Approach Memo and have lively discussions to ensure that the direction we take is based on clear City input and direction informed by PCE's research and recommendations.

Establishing effective communication throughout the project. PCE believes that one of the most critical issues for a project is effective communication with clients. PCE will establish regular working meetings with the City of Porterville for progress updates, detailed responsibility breakdowns, and discussion on possible concerns. PCE will also coordinate with sub-contractors to ensure there is a unified understanding among all parties.

Ensure quality and ability to meet deadlines. PCE has established a vigorous and extensive quality control program that is structured to ensure project timelines and budgets are met, as follows:

The following lists the potential issues or challenges which may arise based on our work experience with other agencies.

ISSUE OR CHALLENGE NO 1:

The scope of work is unclear to all parties involved or changes.

SOLUTION:

Finalizing the work program after Project Kick-Off.

The PCE Project Team will finalize the work program to include a refined scope of work, schedule, and deliverables in an effort to keep all parties on task. The work program will be routinely updated to reflect the work complete and all upcoming tasks. The work program will be a working document available to all parties for the purpose of identifying expectations, roles, current task, and to serve as the formal road map of the General Plan Update.

It has been our experience that projects with larger scopes and timelines can become unclear sometimes for some when there are several moving parts. We have found that having a thorough work program to easily reference has alleviated this challenge and allowed us to stay on task.

ISSUE OR CHALLENGE NO 2:

Critical decisions are not made by the responsible party in a timely manner.

SOLUTION:

Defining the scope and approach and getting early buy-in from responsible parties.

The PCE Project Team will create an approach memo for the City to approve at the start of each new task to determine what decisions need to be made by the City. This memo will outline the recommended approach and identify any critical decisions or directions needed from the City. Once we receive approval of the approach, the memo will be finalized and used to refer back to at the time a decision needs to be made. In addition to the approach memo, the PCE Project Team and the City will have regularly scheduled monthly meetings to ensure that all parties are equipped with the resources needed to keep the project moving forward.

We have found that creating an approach memo when kicking off a new task and recurring meetings helps facilitate the decision-making process. We’re able to work as a team with the City to determine a path forward in achieving the task-specific objectives and relieving some of the pressure of last- minute critical decision making.

ISSUE OR CHALLENGE NO 3:

Management/Leadership changes in the City.

SOLUTION:

Having a clear understanding of the Project.

The PCE Project Team has thoroughly read through the Request for Proposals and created a scope of work that reflects what the City has requested. This scope of work will continually be refined throughout the duration of the project, but the underlying goal of the project will remain the same:
address issues that are important to the Kingsburg community through a progressive and wellcrafted General Plan. This understanding enables us to keep a project on track, regardless of staff changes.

In our experience staffing changes are an inevitable challenge that can really hold up a project, especially when those challenges are at the management level. However, it is important for us to keep in mind the end goal of the project. The PCE Project Team creates the work program and approach memos to have reference documents to guide a path forward even in the absence of crucial staff members. These documents also aid in the integration and onboarding of new staff joining the project team.

ISSUE OR CHALLENGE NO 4:

Extreme attention to detail, bordering on perfectionism.

SOLUTION:

Budgeting time and allocating more time to tasks that require more precision.

The PCE Project Team is dedicated to providing the best possible product to all of clients and the City of Kingsburg would be no different. However, we have had past experiences where our attention to detail caused us to spend a bit of time analyzing and over-analyzing less substantial tasks. While we pride ourselves on our ability create a thorough and complete work product, we realize that time spent triple checking is not always the best use of our time.

We have been able to overcome this challenge through our unique team dynamic. As a group, we work really well together and are able to delegate tasks in a way that keep us on track without sacrificing productivity or quality. The various checkpoints and milestones that are included in the project timeline keep tasks moving as planned, as well as planning for several levels of review and quality control of the project.

PAST EXPERIENCE PERFORMING SIMILAR WORK

DOWNTOWN PRECISE PLAN (REDWOOD CITY, CA)
Mr. Zack was an integral member of the staff team that worked closely with the project consultant, Freedman, Tung, and Bottomley (now Freedman, Tung, and Sasaki), to develop this form-based code, which regulated land use and urban design in Redwood City’s 200-acre greater Downtown area. An intensive public participation process helped to create a framework for building heights, architectural styles, and activity centers upon which the consultant and staff team built the plan. See next page for more information on this project.

SUB-CONSULTANT 49

GENERAL PLAN (REDWOOD CITY, CA)
The Redwood City General Plan is a visionary document that has guided growth during a period of major change in this San Francisco Bay Area community of 86,000. While employed as the Downtown Development Manager for the City of Redwood City, Dan Zack was a member of the core staff team that worked in conjunction with the consulting firm of Hogle-Ireland, Inc. (now part of MIG) for the development of the document, which was adopted in 2010. In this capacity he participated in public workshops, assisted in the development of the Planned Land Use Map, wrote narrative for parts of the document, edited much of the document, conducted development capacity analysis, assisted in the creation of development scenarios, took photographs for use in the plan, and wrote objectives and strategies for the Downtown area. He also worked on the Housing Element of the plan, which received certification from the Department of Housing and Community Development. Mr. Zack was heavily involved in the implementation of the plan, particularly in the creation of implementing zoning in the Downtown area and mixed-use transit corridors.

GENERAL PLAN (FRESNO, CA)
The Fresno General Plan is a document that proposed a dramatic new vision for this large Central Valley city of 546,000 residents. It was adopted in 2014. For the first time in 60 years, the Sphere of Influence was not expanded as part of a new General Plan, and half of future growth was to be directed into infill areas; in the past nearly all growth occurred on the suburban edge. While employed as the City’s Assistant Director of Development and Resource Management, Dan Zack was a member of the core staff team that took over the plan it its final stages from the consultant on the project, Dyett & Bhatia, and prepared it for adoption. This included several workshops and community presentations, editing and re-writing, and changes to the Planned Land Use Map that were the result of City Council direction. He also supervised the update to the Housing Element of the plan, which received certification from the Department of Housing and Community Development. Mr. Zack lead the implementation the new General Plan, as well. The entirety of the Zoning Ordinance was repealed and replaced by a completely new set of regulations known as the Development Code. Such a massive overhaul inevitably required fine tuning, and over a three-year period after the adoption Mr. Zack wrote and oversaw the adoption of five “clean ups” to the General Plan and Development Code to ensure their success.

THE DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS COMMUNITY PLAN AND THE FULTON CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN (FRESNO, CA)
These twin plans were developed and adopted in tandem. The Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan is a vision document and revitalization strategy which was designed to stimulate private development and guide public investments in the predominantly residential neighborhoods surrounding the city’s mixed-use urban core, while the Fulton Corridor Specific Plan fulfilled the same role for the core. The initial drafts were developed by Moule and Polyzoides in partnership with a staff team. Mr.

Zack was hired by the City of Fresno as Assistant Director of Planning and Development after the completion of the first draft and took over management of the project at that point. He conducted a final round of outreach with the steering committee and the community, revised the draft, added high-speed rail elements, completely re-wrote the implementing form-based code, redesigned the bicycle circulation map, revised proposed street sections, enhanced the implementation chapter, and presented the final drafts to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption. See next page for more information on this project.

The environmental compliance process has become increasingly complex over the last decade, and applicants are expected to navigate through ever-changing regulatory and legal requirements. C&B specializes in getting projects through the regulatory process by providing turn-key environmental compliance services. To supplement their services, they have long-standing relationships with specialized firms who provide biological, traffic, cultural, water, air and noise analysis. These individual specialties are provided under the management and oversight of Crawford & Bowen, thereby providing their clients with a full service environmental team.

CEQA/NEPA: Crawford & Bowen Planning offers the experience that comes from having prepared hundreds of CEQA and NEPA documents for projects ranging in size from as small as a few acres to large-scale developments consisting of thousands of residential units. Much of their work history is from applicant-driven development, however, they also have prepared CEQA documents for General Plan Updates, Housing Elements, Master Plans, Climate Action Plans, and many other types of projects.

Agency Review and Coordination: This project will require the approval and coordination with multiple agencies. It is vital to have a consultant like Crawford & Bowen who has worked with these agencies and know their regulations and requirements, as well as their staff.

Public Presentation/Hearings: An important aspect of this project will be how it is presented to the decision makers and the public. C&B’s team is adept at public presentations and hearings and is ready to provide PowerPoint presentations, create displays/hand-outs, and to answer questions that may arise during the public review process.

Crawford & Bowen Planning, Inc. (C&B) is a full-service environmental planning firm in Central California. The
principals at C&B have made it the company’s mission
to provide the area’s best environmental consulting
services at the most cost-efficient level, while

Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 1

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Kingsburg’s General Plan was last comprehensively updated in 1992. While there have since been several updates and amendments, its core structure has remained the same and has served the community well. In the intervening 30 years, State planning law has evolved significantly, and the community has grown by more than 50 percent. At the same time, many of the ideas the community values, like thoughtful growth with careful attention to design, and key challenges, like balancing economic development with local needs, remain. This update is an opportunity to prepare a community-driven plan that expands on what is working well while addressing legislative requirements and sharpening the plan’s utility as a tool for City staff and decision makers to achieve community goals.

The City is committed to a General Plan Update process that engages all segments of the city and ensures all community members have the opportunity to shape the future of Kingsburg. The visioning process should work to focus the community’s trajectory by affirming and articulating the longstanding ideals and aspirations citizens hold for Kingsburg and establishing a guidepost for the plan in the process.

At the conclusion of the project, the City desires a General Plan that maps out a realistic but effective set of goals, policies, and actions to realize the community vision in a format that is accessible, concise, and action oriented. The General Plan should grow the city’s charm and enhance walkability while maintaining its historic character, natural beauty, and vibrant downtown.

The PlaceWorks team’s approach to addressing the City’s priorities for the General Plan Update incorporates tested strategies tailored to Kingsburg, described below.

Engaging with the Community in Meaningful Ways. Our project team brings together local expertise and statewide resources to plan and implement a community engagement strategy that uses a variety of tactics. We focus outreach resources at key phases – visioning and priority setting, goal and policy development, and draft General Plan review – to maximize impact and make the highest and best use of community members’ time. Our approach includes listening sessions with key stakeholders to inform both the plan and the outreach process, in addition to surveys, pop-up events, and workshops, accessible to English and Spanish speakers. Our methods work to give residents many convenient opportunities to participate when and where it’s convenient for them.

Focusing on Efficiency, Efficacy, and Usability. As an early task, PlaceWorks will use our General Plan compliance tool to perform a swift but comprehensive assessment of the General Plan’s compliance with State law. Where we identify gaps, we will consider whether it is appropriate to replace or modify existing policies or add new policies. Beyond statutory requirements, we will engage staff to understand how each component of the current General Plan works as a tool to support decisionmaking and achieve community goals. Based on those conversations, we will advise on changes that preserve what is working and address inefficiencies. Throughout the update, we will focus on maintaining a succinct and feasible plan and structuring it in a way that is readily accessible to City staff, decision makers, and community members.

Project Understanding
2 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update Bringing out the Best of Kingsburg. The PlaceWorks team will draw from the City’s North Kingsburg Specific Plan and Form-Based Code to create General Plan policies that support thoughtful, designforward development in all corners of the community. New policies will streamline development processes and pave the way for infill, redevelopment, and new development that showcase Kingsburg’s iconic style and supports walkable, human-centered neighborhoods. Our approach works to bring the best of Kingsburg to all pockets of the community and enhance the quality-of-life outcomes for residents citywide.

SCOPE OF WORK
This chapter describes the scope of services to be completed by the PlaceWorks team for the Kingsburg Comprehensive General Plan Update. To facilitate your review of this proposal, we have prepared a concise scope that emphasizes key components of our approach to this project.

This scope of work responds to what we understand as the City’s goals and priorities for the General Plan Update – namely, a policy-focused update to modernize and bring the General Plan into conformance with current State law, while also providing a clear vision and strong policies and strategies to preserve and enhance the small-town character and lifestyles of Kingsburg. However, we are flexible regarding the proposed scope of work and will work with you to refine the scope to meet your needs. We also recognize that it may be necessary to alter the scope as the project progresses and will be happy to work with you to ensure the successful completion of the project.

A summary of the work program is presented in Table 1.

TASK A. Project Initiation and Management
A.1 Kick-off Meeting and City Tour
The PlaceWorks team will meet with City staff to begin the project; identify the project goals, opportunities, and constraints; and refine roles and responsibilities and expectations for schedule, process, and work products. At this meeting, we will review existing background data and identify ways in which City staff and PlaceWorks can most effectively work together as a team, discussing possible opportunities to streamline the process and implementation. The meeting will provide an opportunity to fine-tune PlaceWorks’ suggested work program and make any needed changes to our scope. We will also discuss how the General Plan Update and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) processes will be integrated and coordinated with other relevant recent and ongoing City initiatives, such as the Housing Element Update that is being prepared by PlaceWorks.

As part of the kick-off meeting, the PlaceWorks team will discuss the outreach and engagement strategy with City staff to ensure that a diverse group of community members and organizations participate in the General Plan Update process in a meaningful way through community events, an online presence, innovative graphics, and multiple means of input.

Finally, City staff and the PlaceWorks team will tour Kingsburg to identify and photograph existing conditions at key locations in the city. We will also examine areas of the city that will be subject to special attention in the General Plan Update, such as underperforming commercial sites and other infill opportunity areas.

A.2 Coordination Meetings and Communications
Early in the project, the PlaceWorks team will work with City staff to establish and document agreements about regular check-ins, communication with team members, and staff review periods. We will memorialize these agreements in writing to ensure we remain on the same page with City staff throughout the project. This task includes up to 24 virtual meetings with City staff. PlaceWorks will provide an agenda for each meeting.

Scope of Work
4 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update This task also includes ongoing project management, including internal team coordination and regular budget, schedule, and staffing reviews to ensure project needs and milestones are met.

A.3 Background Data Collection and Review

TASK B. Community Engagement
Ongoing community engagement activities are described in this task. Community workshops and Planning Commission and City Council study sessions are described in subsequent tasks that will be the focus of those public meetings.

B.1 Stakeholder Engagement
In this task, the PlaceWorks team will engage core stakeholders throughout the General Plan Update process to learn about key issues and how best to engage community members. We will also call on these core stakeholders to act as ambassadors to the community for the project. We will seek stakeholders who are trusted by the community and know how to effectively communicate with the community members that they represent.

Early in the project, the PlaceWorks team will work with City staff to identify a list of core stakeholders that we can call on to help with outreach. We will then schedule up to six listening sessions with individual stakeholders, or small groups of stakeholders who are already connected and/or interested in similar topics. During these listening sessions, we’ll ask the stakeholders to share what they think are the key issues for the General Plan to address. We’ll also ask for suggestions on how best to connect with the community. This scope assumes that City staff will invite the stakeholders and coordinate the time and location of the listening sessions.

At key milestones in the project, we will also meet with the full group of core stakeholders to share an update about our progress and ask for assistance to reach out to community members about upcoming opportunities to participate, such as a workshop or community survey. We will provide an outreach toolkit to the stakeholders to support their outreach efforts, such as flyers, eblast templates, and social media posts. This scope includes two meetings with the core stakeholder group.

B.2 Community Surveys
The PlaceWorks team will prepare surveys to solicit feedback and input outside of a workshop setting.

We use a variety of online tools and platforms to enable participation when it is most convenient for the community. We will use these surveys to provide opportunities to shape the vision statement, priorities, and key policy topics. This scope assumes that the City will post a link to the surveys on the City’s website, social media accounts, and other platforms for distribution. Companion paper surveys will be developed and distributed when appropriate to reach technology-limited communities. We anticipate that hard-copy surveys could be distributed at pop-up events and public places like parks and libraries, although City staff could distribute through other available outlets.

Scope of Work
6 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update B.3 Pop-Up Events
The PlaceWorks team will attend up to four community events, such as farmer’s markets, Chamber of Commerce events, and events at the Kingsburg High School, to solicit input from Kingsburg residents, including youth, about the General Plan Update. We anticipate that these pop-up events will be aligned to help spread the word about upcoming workshops. We’ll also distribute surveys and other quick exercises to hear from people at the booth. The PlaceWorks team will attend and be responsible for preparing outreach materials for these community events. City staff will help secure access at the events, such as a booth or table space.

B.4 Translation and Interpretation
The PlaceWorks team will translate meeting materials, such as flyers, agendas, maps, and presentations, into Spanish, as appropriate. In addition, we will provide simultaneous interpretation in Spanish at all workshops, as well as at stakeholder meetings when appropriate.

TASK C. Existing Conditions
C.1 General Plan Audit
PlaceWorks will review Kingsburg’s existing General Plan to check for consistency with the State General Plan requirements, identifying existing content that will need to be updated and new content that will need to be added to meet State requirements. This review will also include identification of content from other adopted plans that can be used to support State requirements, including the 2020 Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Vulnerability Assessment that it includes.

PlaceWorks will document our review and recommendations in a memo. This will include an attached review matrix for the Safety Element, which has a long list of new requirements, as codified in California Government Code Section 65302(g). The review matrix will compare the California Government Code requirements to the existing Safety Element, along with other hazard and adaptation planning documents, to identify gaps that need to be addressed in the update process. This will include integration of existing technical studies and analysis, policies, maps, or other content. We will also include an assessment of goals and policies with recommendations about whether to keep, modify, or remove any items to meet State requirements and maintain the relevancy of the Safety Element.

C.2 Existing Conditions Technical Memoranda
In this task, the PlaceWorks team will prepare a series of technical studies in the form of stand-alone memos to inform the community discussion of key issues. The memos will provide City staff, decisionmakers, and other stakeholders with a firm understanding of opportunities and constraints in Kingsburg. These technical studies will also feed into the context sections of the General Plan.

Each technical study will conclude with a bulleted list of implications for the General Plan Update as a springboard for formulating land use and policy responses in subsequent tasks.

Land Use and Community Design
The PlaceWorks team will conduct an analysis of existing land uses in Kingsburg. The analysis will describe current uses, highlighting vacant and underutilized opportunity sites, major planned and Scope of Work

We will also describe the planning boundaries and relevant land use planning documents. Based on this assessment, we will also document existing place types with diagrams and photographs. This analysis will also describe future place types as currently envisioned and shaped by existing policies, regulations, and current/recent development proposals. The study will highlight opportunities for clarification and reinforcement to these place types.

Environmental Justice
PlaceWorks will summarize environmental conditions in Kingsburg. The evaluation will explain the new requirements for general plans to address environmental justice under Senate Bill (SB) 1000 and describe related topics, including pollution exposure, air quality, public facilities, healthy food access, safe and sanitary housing, physical activity, and community engagement. It will show data from statewide data sources like CalEnviroScreen, as well as community-specific data like gas stations and health care facilities by extracting these and similar data types from Google Maps through Google’s JavaScript API and data sources like SafeGraph Places.

Safety
PlaceWorks will prepare a technical memorandum that provides hazard-specific information. This will include a discussion of floods, geologic and seismic hazards, extreme heat, agricultural pests, severe weather, evacuation concerns, and other relevant issues. We will mention the areas of Kingsburg at risk, discuss historic occurrences and future likelihood of events, and describe how climate change is likely to affect future hazard conditions.

The background report will include updated mapping using the most recent available data from regional, State, and national sources. We will prepare maps showing hazard-prone areas in and around Kingsburg. We will also create a map showing evacuation-constrained residential parcels, consistent with the requirements of SB 99.

Utilities and Infrastructure
Provost & Pritchard will assess the capacity and condition of the local water supply and distribution, wastewater conveyance and treatment, storm drainage, solid waste disposal, and telecommunication systems. This assessment will be based on the latest available information, including documents prepared by the City and other service providers, such as SKF County Sanitation District, as well as contacting outside agencies as applicable to document their assessment of infrastructure related to the General Plan Update. Existing conditions information will include a summary of the applicable regulatory framework and narrative descriptions of capacity and potential deficiencies.

C.3 Briefing Book
The PlaceWorks team will prepare a briefing book that highlights key issues and opportunities for the General Plan Update. The briefing book will pull relevant information, including maps, infographics, tables, and photographs from the existing conditions analysis described previously into an online primer using ESRI StoryMaps. Text will be carefully written and concise to minimize the document’s length and maximize readability.

Scope of Work
8 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update C.4 Vulnerability Assessment (Optional Task)
SB 379, which went into effect in 2017, requires that updates to safety elements include a vulnerability assessment that identifies how climate change may affect hazardous conditions in the community, and who and what in the community is most susceptible to harm as a result. The City of Kingsburg is a participant in the 2020 Fresno County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP), which includes a countywide vulnerability assessment. The Kingsburg Safety Element may incorporate this vulnerability assessment as a means of satisfying the requirements of SB 379, which is the approach we’ve outlined in this scope of work. If desired, as an optional task, we’ve also provided two alternate approaches. Both tasks would be consistent with guidance from the California Adaptation Planning Guide and with projections from the Cal-Adapt database and other vetted sources.

Option 1: Identification of Additional Vulnerabilities
PlaceWorks would prepare a summary memo that identifies additional potential vulnerabilities in Kingsburg that are not covered in the MJHMP. This memo would include an analysis of hazards, populations, and assets in Kingsburg that are either not included in the countywide study or have a substantially different level of vulnerability than determined by the countywide study. For example, the MJHMP finds that there is a potentially high vulnerability to flood and levee failure in Fresno County, but this threat is likely to be lower in Kingsburg. The summary of additional vulnerabilities would work in combination with the MJHMP vulnerability assessment to present an overall summary of the potential of harm from climate change-related hazards in Kingsburg.

The cost for this optional task is $4,100.

Option 2: Complete Vulnerability Assessment
PlaceWorks would prepare a complete vulnerability assessment specific to Kingsburg, which would be used for the Safety Element to meet the requirements of SB 379. We would prepare a list of hazards, populations, and assets that we recommend for inclusion in the vulnerability assessment. This would include many of the hazards, populations, and assets considered in the MJHMP, but with some items added or removed to reflect local conditions. After City staff confirm this list, PlaceWorks would prepare a comprehensive vulnerability assessment in accordance with all relevant guidance. This assessment would score populations and assets on a five-point scale, ranging from 1 (minimum vulnerability) to 5 (severe vulnerability), identifying who and what in Kingsburg is most at risk from climate change-related hazards.

The cost for this optional task is $12,526.

TASK D. Vision and Priorities
D.1 Community Workshop 1: Introduction, Vision, and Priorities This first public workshop will be an opportunity to introduce members of the community to the General Plan Update and City staff and consultant team. This meeting will also include a visioning component designed to confirm the vision for the future of Kingsburg and identify priorities and key issues for the General Plan to address.

We will refine the approach to this workshop with City staff. Typically, we recommend including an icebreaker exercise as participants arrive that gets them thinking about the things they love about Kingsburg, as well as what’s missing. Following a welcome and brief presentation, we recommend working in small groups for facilitated discussions about the vision, priorities, and key issues. We will provide table maps for each group, on which participants can identify specific issues that are geographically based. After the small group discussions, we recommend reconvening in a large group to share reports back summarizing the small group discussions.

D.2 Preliminary Vision Statement and Priorities
Following the community workshop, the PlaceWorks team will refine the vision and goals from the existing General Plan into a succinct Community Vision Statement and list of priorities for the General Plan to address. The vision statement will reflect the input from the community workshop in a short statement, supplemented by the list of priorities.

D.3 Joint Planning Commission and City Council Study Session The PlaceWorks team will facilitate the first joint Planning Commission and City Council study session to introduce Commissioners and Council members to the project and consultant team, report on the community workshop, review the draft vision statement and priorities, and receive feedback on suggested revisions.

D.4 Refined Vision Statement and Priorities
The PlaceWorks team will revise the vision statement and priorities per Commission and Council comments. The revised vision and priorities will be used by City staff, the PlaceWorks team, the Planning Commission, and City Council to guide preparation of the General Plan Update and its implementation in the years to come.

Deliverables:
» Draft Community Vision Statement and List of Priorities » Refined Community Vision Statement and List of Priorities TASK E. Draft General Plan
E.1 Organization and Outline
A General Plan can be organized in many ways, from traditional to extremely creative, from paper to web-based, and from simple to complex forms. We will work with City staff to develop a General Plan format that is clear, highly graphic, and easy to navigate, providing a straightforward tool for Scope of Work
10 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update implementing the community’s vision. Our graphic artists can help develop a format that not only meets the above criteria, but also serves as a branding and marketing tool for investment in Kingsburg.

State law requires that General Plans address the following nine mandated topics: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, safety, environmental justice, and air quality. Kingsburg’s current General Plan is organized into eight parts, including an introduction and executive summary, an environmental setting, the goals and major policies, three consolidated elements (Community Development, Resource Management, and Hazard Management), an implementation strategy, and the EIR. These elements address the State-required topics, as well as the optional topic of recreation. We will work with staff to identify an outline that fits best for Kingsburg. Our initial, big-picture recommendations are to maintain a consolidated format and treat the Implementation Plan and EIR as separate documents, as reflected in the tasks below.

E.2 Community Workshop 2: Policy Topics
We anticipate that Community Workshop 2 will be held in an open house format. Open house stations will be arranged by subject. Facilitators drawn from the PlaceWorks team and City staff will ask for feedback from participants on how the General Plan might approach a given policy topic (e.g., “How do you think we should attract and inspire investment into infill sites?”). Participants might offer verbal responses, write suggestions on an easel pad at the station, or do a dot exercise to prioritize among several policy options that would address the same goal.

Although this meeting is referred to as a “policy topic” workshop, we will also actively collect ideas for specific actions the City could take related to a given subject.

E.3 Administrative Draft General Plan
The PlaceWorks team will prepare a succinct General Plan that meets State legal requirements, is consistent with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) General Plan Guidelines, responds to community needs, and is easy to read, understand, and implement. The General Plan will provide an integrated, internally consistent statement of the City’s policies and implementation programs. Each element of the updated General Plan will include the following:
• A brief review of background information summarizing current conditions in the city that provide context for the policy guidance.
• Clearly articulated goals that the City is attempting to attain, toward which progress can be measured and reported annually.
• Policies and actions that the City will implement to achieve its goals. • Maps, tables, and other graphics to clarify and illustrate key concepts.

In addition to the elements described, the Administrative Draft General Plan will include an introduction and the vision statement. The specific contents of the sections described herein may be modified, pending evolution of the General Plan Update.

This scope does not include any revisions to the Housing Element, which PlaceWorks is preparing under a separate contract, and which will need to be adopted ahead of the General Plan Update. To avoid confusion about whether the Housing Element is being reopened for discussion, we suggest that the adopted and certified Housing Element is not incorporated into the draft General Plan during public review. It would instead be incorporated into the final, adopted General Plan.

Scope of Work
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 11
Community Design Element
This element will cover the State-required topics of land use and circulation. It will delineate and describe the City’s planning boundaries and General Plan land use designations and provide policy and design guidance for land use and place types. This element will integrate relevant content from the existing General Plan, North Kingsburg Specific Plan, and Form-Based Code, providing a clearly illustrated vision and policy direction for growth and placemaking. This element will also define the City’s transportation network and provide multi-modal transportation policy guidance to support anticipated land uses while increasing mobility and safety.

Resource Management Element
This element will cover the State-required topics of conservation and open space, as well as the optional topic of recreation. It will address the conservation, development, and use of the range of natural resources in the city and other related environmental factors, including:
• Biological resources and habitats
• Water resources, water conservation, and groundwater recharge • Agricultural lands
• Mineral resources and soils
• Open space
• Recreation
Hazard Management Element
This element will cover the State-required topic of safety. It will include policy guidance to improve resilience to hazard conditions throughout Kingsburg, including for vulnerable populations and other groups facing an increased threat from hazardous conditions. Policies will also help to harden buildings and infrastructure, inform the siting of new development away from hazard-prone areas, enhance evacuation capacity, improve coordination with supporting agencies, and others. It will also incorporate the most recent version of the Fresno County MJHMP to ensure that Kingsburg remains eligible for increased disaster relief funding and hazard mitigation grants.

Community Health Element
We recommend consolidating the State-required topics of air quality, noise, and environmental justice into a Community Health Element. This element will include policy guidance to reduce air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and conserve energy while reducing community exposure to air pollution and noise from existing and future sources. It will also provide policy guidance to address all environmental justice topics required by SB 1000, plus other related topics identified by the community. The environmental justice components will follow best practices contained in the SB 1000 Toolkit that PlaceWorks prepared in 2017 in partnership with the California Environmental Justice Alliance.

E.4 Draft General Plan
The PlaceWorks team will address staff’s comments in the Administrative Draft to prepare the Screencheck and Public Review Drafts of the General Plan. We assume staff will make the Public Review Draft General Plan available on the City’s website and other venues.

Scope of Work
12 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update E.5 Community Workshop 3: Draft General Plan
The PlaceWorks team will facilitate a workshop to present the Draft General Plan to the public. The workshop will be in an open house format echoing that of Workshop 2 on policy topics, where members of the public can visit stations that focus on each element of the General Plan Update. The stations will provide information about the content of the General Plan and highlight key policy changes. Workshop participants may provide comments on the Draft General Plan for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council.

E.6 Joint Planning Commission and City Council Study Session The PlaceWorks team will attend a joint study session with the Planning Commission and City Council to present the Draft General Plan, provide an overview of the input received at the Community Workshop, and receive feedback.

E.7 Level of Service Analysis (Optional Task)
As an optional task, Kittelson would conduct a level of service (LOS) analysis to inform future roadway design and planning. While an LOS analysis is no longer required for review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), some cities prefer to conduct an LOS analysis to understand existing and forecasted future LOS conditions to inform the General Plan Circulation Map.

Kittelson would conduct an LOS analysis for existing conditions and the future condition under the proposed General Plan at up to 12 study intersections and document their findings in a technical memorandum. The budget for this optional task includes collecting traffic counts at the 12 intersection locations.

The cost for this optional task is $16,731.

Deliverable:
» Draft General Plan (administrative, screencheck, and public review drafts) TASK F. Environmental Impact Report
Because the General Plan Update will be programmatic as allowed by the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] 15000 et seq.), we fully anticipate being able to streamline future projects in the city using Section 15183 and other streamlining provisions of the guidelines. PlaceWorks will work with the City to help eliminate environmental issues that do not apply, or that can be addressed using standard conditions of approval or compliance with state, federal, or local laws.

F.1 CEQA Kickoff Meeting and Background Research
The PlaceWorks team will meet with City staff to begin the CEQA phase of the project; identify goals, opportunities, and constraints for the EIR; and refine roles, responsibilities, and expectations for the EIR schedule, process, and work products. At this meeting, we will review existing background data and discuss opportunities to streamline the process and implementation.

F.2 Notice of Preparation, Scoping Meeting, and Tribal Consultation Project Description. A detailed project description will be prepared that will include text detailing the project characteristics, land use summary tables, statistical tables comparing the existing land uses to the Scope of Work
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 13
proposed changes, and figures to depict the proposed land use changes. The project description will use information from the General Plan to explain the existing buildout and projected buildout scenarios for the environmental analysis to study the impacts between the existing land uses and buildout of the proposed General Plan. Figures will be included to highlight the focus of the geographical areas affected.

The project description will also include project objectives and required discretionary approvals. This project description will be used for preparation of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) and EIR.

Notice of Preparation. PlaceWorks will draft the NOP for public review and prepare the document for circulation using a format approved by the City. While most NOP formats do not include an initial study, we propose to include an initial study to eliminate issues from Appendix G that do not pertain to the city and focus the EIR on only those issues germane to the update. While preparing an initial study with the NOP costs a little more than a shorter NOP, it pays dividends in reducing the scope and cost of the EIR.

PlaceWorks will prepare drafts of all requisite filing forms for approval by the City, and if requested we can submit copies to the State Clearinghouse. This scope assumes the City will file the NOP with the County Clerk and publish the notice in the local paper, starting the 30-day public comment period for the NOP.

Scoping Meeting. PlaceWorks will assist the City in organizing and conducting one in-person public scoping meeting to present the major features of the proposed General Plan and to solicit comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental issues to be addressed in the EIR. At the meeting, we will be prepared to discuss the environmental review process and to answer questions as desired by City staff. It is recommended that the scoping meeting be held one to two weeks following the release of the NOP to identify public concerns about environmental issues and meet the schedule.

SB 18 and Assembly Bill (AB) 52 Consultation. PlaceWorks will work with Provost & Pritchard to formalize the tribal consultation. The completion of the NOP is the opportune time to engage the tribes. All consultation proceedings will be documented as part of the administrative record.

F.3 Technical Analysis
For the technical analysis that will provide substantial evidence for the EIR, PlaceWorks has teamed with Kittleson for mobility and Provost & Pritchard for biology, cultural resources, and public utilities.

PlaceWorks will peer review the materials prepared by team members. PlaceWorks’ internal team will prepare the air quality, GHG, and noise analyses for the EIR.

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (PlaceWorks)
PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality, energy, and GHG emissions analysis for the General Plan Update and EIR. The analysis will be based on the current methodology of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) for projects in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB). PlaceWorks will prepare a communitywide criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions inventory and forecast for the General Plan Update. The results of the technical modeling will be compiled into the EIR. Model outputs will be included as an appendix.

Biological Resources (Provost & Pritchard)
For the biological resources section of the EIR, Provost & Pritchard will review and update current laws and regulations that may apply to the city to ensure consistency with federal, state, and local law. As appropriate for the General Plan Update, and consistent with providing support for the programmatic EIR, Provost & Pritchard will not conduct focused surveys or prepare a technical report but will use Scope of Work
14 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update existing information to explain vegetation communities near and affected by the update. The data will be sourced from publicly available information.

Noise and Vibration (PlaceWorks)
PlaceWorks will prepare the noise and vibration technical analyses to support the General Plan Update.

The EIR will discuss relevant standards and criteria for noise exposure, including those in the General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code. The noise analysis will include a field study and development of updated traffic noise contours. The results of this analysis will be summarized in the EIR and modeling will be provided in an appendix.

The primary source of noise in the city is traffic on major arterials and highways, including State Route (SR) 99 and local roadways. PlaceWorks will identify major sources of noise in the city and document existing noise levels. PlaceWorks will conduct a noise measurement survey to acquire ambient noise data.

The ambient noise measurement survey will consist of up to 10 short-term (15-minute) locations and 4 long-term (24-hour) locations.

PlaceWorks will model existing and General Plan buildout traffic noise levels using a version of the U.S.

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Prediction Model and develop noise contours based on the existing traffic data and future forecasts. Existing noise from rail operations will be characterized using the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) noise models and available freight operational data. There are no airports or airfields in Kingsburg; therefore, aviation noise will be discussed qualitatively, and no detailed modeling of airport noise is proposed. Non-transportation stationary and construction noise and vibration sources will also be addressed.

Public Utilities (Provost & Pritchard)
Provost & Pritchard will lead the background research and review of technical services needed to support the growth projections from the General Plan. The research will be included in the Draft EIR and used as the baseline for analysis. PlaceWorks staff will work with Provost & Pritchard to present the information in the EIR and include recommendations on any required updates to policies, reports, or procedures intended to meet the needs of the City.

Mobility (Kittleson)
Kittelson will provide vehicle miles traveled (VMT) data for the city (including its proposed Sphere of Influence) for the base year and proposed General Plan scenarios. The VMT values will be compiled in terms of total VMT, VMT per capita, and VMT per employee for each transportation analysis zone (TAZ) in the model. This information will be provided in a tabular form (Excel workbook). Static and/or online maps of VMT statistics could be provided as an optional task. Kittelson will coordinate with the City and PlaceWorks to determine the appropriate impact thresholds to use for VMT analysis. Kittelson will provide inputs to air quality, GHG and noise analyses for the base year and proposed General Plan scenario.

F.4 First Administrative Draft EIR
PlaceWorks will prepare the first Administrative Draft EIR for review by the City using an approved City format. The document will follow the CEQA Guidelines and will cover the environmental topical areas that were not scoped out of the EIR through the NOP and scoping process. We envision the EIR as a programmatic document that will rely on the policies of the General Plan, Municipal Code, and Scope of Work
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 15
development standards to address potential environmental impacts. Because we want the City to be able to use the streamlining provisions of Section 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, the EIR will also reference existing ordinances, policies, and standard conditions of approval used by the City to address impacts.

The EIR will be clearly written and avoid the use of technical jargon so that the document is easily understood. The analysis of issues will be thorough yet concise. The conclusions of the EIR must be based on substantial evidence.

PlaceWorks will provide the first Administrative Draft EIR in Word format with graphics in PDF to allow for efficient review and comment by staff. The use of track changes and comments in the text will expedite review time and allow for a discussion of comments as a team.

F.5 Second Administrative Draft EIR
Upon receipt of comments from the reviewing team, PlaceWorks will prepare a second Administrative Draft EIR. This version will include changes made in response to review comments or an explanation of why the change was not made so that we can discuss as a team. The second Administrative Draft will be provided in Word format and in full PDF, including all graphics and support appendices.

F.6 Public Review Draft EIR
PlaceWorks will edit the second Administrative Draft EIR based on comments provided by the City, providing a Public Review Draft EIR in combined PDF format for final review prior to distribution. The Public Review Draft EIR will include the Draft General Plan as an appendix, and all the technical analyses used in preparation of the EIR. Following a fatal-flaw review by the City, PlaceWorks will prepare the document for the public review process by drafting the public notice of availability (NOA) and notice of completion (NOC). PlaceWorks will prepare the Public Review Draft EIR for the City to upload to OPR (PlaceWorks can also upload if approved by the City). We recommend posting the EIR on the City’s website and providing an email distribution with a link to download the EIR to all of the recipients of the NOP, as well as any who have requested notification as part of the scoping process. Distribution by electronic means and a link to the City’s website to download the document saves time and cost for the City as well as reducing landfill waste. We have scoped five hard copies of the EIR for review by the public at the City Planning Counter and local library. This scope assumes that the City will distribute the NOA to organizations in the city, publish in newspapers, and transmit notices to the County Clerk for posting.

Note that the General Plan and EIR are intended to be reviewed online and this scope and cost does not include publishing more than five copies of the EIR for local use. The scope assumes that documents can be uploaded to the City’s website and available for download by the public and agencies.

F.7 Final EIR and Response to Comments
Following receipt of all comments on the Draft EIR, written responses will be prepared for each comment.

A Response to Comments section will be created for the Final EIR and will contain an introduction describing the public review process for the Draft EIR, copies of all comment letters, and written responses to all comments. Responses will focus on comments that address the adequacy of the Draft EIR. Comments that do not address EIR adequacy will be noted as such, and no further response will be provided unless deemed necessary by the City. Responses will be prepared by PlaceWorks with input from our technical specialists, as needed. The Final EIR will also contain revisions to the Draft EIR as necessary to respond to comments and/or correct inaccuracies identified after release of the EIR as a Scope of Work
16 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update public draft. PlaceWorks will make one additional round of edits to the draft response to comments and Draft EIR based on City staff comments. PlaceWorks will ensure that the Final EIR is distributed to commenters on the Draft EIR at least 10 days prior to certifying the EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15088).

F.8 Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations PlaceWorks will prepare findings and facts in support of findings, describing each of the significant impacts identified by the EIR and the determination of whether those impacts would be reduced to below a level of significance by proposed mitigation measures. Additionally, CEQA requires that when an agency approves a project that will have significant adverse environmental effects that are unavoidable, it must make a statement of its views on the ultimate balancing of the merits of approving the project despite the environmental consequences. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the City to draft the statement of overriding considerations for any unavoidable significant impacts that may be identified by the Final EIR.

PlaceWorks will prepare the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. It will be presented in standard City format and will identify the significant impacts that would result from the proposed General Plan, proposed mitigation measures for each impact, the times at which the measures will need to be conducted, the entity responsible for implementing the mitigation measure, and the City department or other agency responsible for monitoring the mitigation effort and ensuring its success.

PlaceWorks will draft the Notice of Determination (NOD) to accompany the consideration of the General Plan and EIR by the City. The City will be responsible for filing the NOD with the Fresno County Clerk and PlaceWorks will file the NOD with the State Clearinghouse. This scope does not include the fees for filing, which can be substantial. PlaceWorks will coordinate with staff regarding the filing fees as part of the Final EIR.

TASK H. Implementation (Optional Tasks)
As optional tasks, the PlaceWorks team would support implementation of the General Plan through the following activities.

H.1 Implementation Plan
PlaceWorks would prepare an Implementation Plan for the updated General Plan. The plan would provide an institutional framework to annually revisit the General Plan, gauge its continuing relevance, and recommit investments to the City’s vision. In collaboration with City staff, for each of the actions listed in the adopted General Plan, we would identify the agency, department, or organization to carry out the task, as well as a priority ranking and/or timeframe for implementation.

Because the number of actions in the General Plan will have been carefully considered during the writing and public review phases, the Implementation Plan should provide a clear and achievable roadmap for annual actions. Each year of successful implementation will build support and confidence among the community, elected officials, and staff from all departments.

The cost for this optional task is $4,978.

H.2 Placemaking Implementation Toolkit
Sargent Town Planning would prepare a Placemaking Implementation Toolkit that would provide General Plan-level vision and strategies for coordinated updates to the Zoning Code and to street, public open space, and subdivision standards.

The cost for this optional task is $12,980.

H.3 Code Consistency Review
Following finalization of the General Plan, the PlaceWorks team would review the existing Zoning Ordinance and Form-Based Code and identify key revisions needed to align these codes with the updated General Plan.

The cost for this optional task is $18,103.

Award-Winning Outreach
We have helped create positive change in dozens of California communities through our caring and persevering efforts to reach out to everyone we can. Every community is different and so requires a unique constellation of outreach tools, and we have shown that with the help of residents and community groups, and the guidance of City staff and decision makers, we can overcome barriers to communication and establish public engagement that builds community. Our efforts are aimed at creating public support for a shared future vision and the policy changes necessary to achieve it. PlaceWorks has won awards all the way up to the national level for its community engagement work and looks forward to bringing these techniques to bear in Kingsburg.

Coordinated Policy Development and CEQA
PlaceWorks is distinguished from other planning firms by our integrated abilities in environmental review. We will ensure that our environmental analysis and mitigation measures reflect an understanding not only of the physical environment, but also of salient public policy and aesthetic issues. Our combined design and planning practice will also allow us to work with the City to identify land use changes, roadway improvements, or design solutions to address environmental issues early in the process, rather than uncovering these issues during the EIR review. This proven approach keeps both the General Plan and EIR on track for timely completion.

Breadth and Depth of Planning and Design Knowledge
PlaceWorks has a staff of 120 with specialties in climate change and adaptation, hazard management and resilience, public health, urban design, landscape architecture, and GIS, among other fields. This means that our policy work is grounded in a nuanced understanding of real-world implementation and outcomes, from the challenges of park maintenance to unlocking federal disaster recovery funds.

PlaceWorks’ subject-matter experts will ensure that the existing conditions and policy analyses that relate to their areas of expertise are state of the art and support policy approaches that are ready to be implemented.

Effective and Efficient Management
Over years of managing complex projects with multiple subconsultants, PlaceWorks has developed effective strategies for guaranteeing that our work products are of the utmost quality, are completed within the agreed-upon time frame and are aligned with the established budget. We work with our clients to develop complete critical path schedules in the initial project stages and establish meeting and workshop dates as early as possible, to allow everyone involved to monitor the project’s progress.

We schedule dates for written deliverables to allow adequate time for internal review for consistency, style, and completeness, and to ensure that each product we give our clients is a polished document.

PlaceWorks maintains constant communication with our clients and subconsultants, and we document decisions in writing to make certain they are clearly understood by all team members. Our proven track record in efficient project management is especially valuable for projects with critical timelines.

26 CITY OF KINGSBURG • Comprehensive General Plan Update Relevant Projects
This section includes examples of PlaceWorks’ projects similar in nature to the Kingsburg Comprehensive General Plan Update.

CLOVIS GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR
Sixteen years after updating the 1993 General
Plan, PlaceWorks was selected again by the City of
Clovis to undertake a new effort to modernize the
City’s comprehensive plan. After a period of
remarkable growth and development (almost
doubling its population to nearly 100,000
residents), this Central Valley city needed to
address a handful of key questions: How will Clovis
preserve its small-town appeal while diversifying
its economic base? How will it meet a growing
demand for high-quality services and deliver them
cost-effectively and efficiently? How will the City and community respond to the growing regulatory landscape and address air quality, water supply, and the environmental impacts of climate change? Clovis started the General Plan Update just as it was experiencing a significant municipal budget deficit, a struggling local economy, and a reduction in staffing. PlaceWorks responded by designing and executing a phased approach and developing foundational components to guide the first phase. Key deliverables included the land use plan framework, community profile, and an economic analysis report. These documents supported the second phase of focused area land planning, including replanning two urban villages, major commercial corridors, the historic Old Town, and a new central employment center.

PlaceWorks established central themes to engage the public and help direct goals and policies:

Gateway to the Sierra (connecting visually and economically to the recreational opportunities and natural resources afforded by proximity to the mountains); Cyclovis (promoting Clovis as a mecca for bicycle ridership in the valley); and Start Here, Stay Here (providing opportunities for businesses, families, individuals, and businesses to originate, grow, and thrive).

LOS BANOS GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2040
Located in western Merced County, 80 miles from Silicon Valley, the City of Los Banos is a growing town with agricultural roots. PlaceWorks, with assistance from Kittelson, conducted a targeted update of the General Plan to position Los Banos to respond to economic, political, and technological changes and gear up for the future. The General Plan Update focused on emerging topics to position Los Banos to retain and attract jobs, strengthen support for its historic Downtown, set standards for amenity-rich new neighborhoods, collaborate with local water providers to ensure a sustainable long-term water supply, and create a citywide network of parks and open space. In addition, as part of the General Plan Update, PlaceWorks completed three simultaneous planning efforts to move key concepts closer to reality: a Business Park Case Study and Competitiveness Analysis to focus the City’s efforts to land major new employers; an Annexation Ordinance supporting sustainable growth; and a Downtown Strategic Plan that builds on assets and partnerships to stimulate infill development while preserving Downtown’s charming character. As part of the project, PlaceWorks also prepared the EIR and a Water Supply Assessment to enable General Plan adoption.

MODESTO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR
Modesto was founded in 1870 as a stop on the
Central Pacific rail line and the original layout is still visible today, a 640-acre tract oriented to the rail
line. Modesto has grown significantly and is one of
California’s top 20 largest cities; meanwhile,
Downtown Modesto serves as the civic, cultural, and
entertainment hub for the city and region. Today,
the City is looking to the future and embracing
innovative concepts. To support the City’s goals,
PlaceWorks, with project management and
engineering support from Provost & Pritchard, is
preparing a comprehensive update to the City’s General Plan, a feasible Implementation Plan, and an informative and legally defensible EIR. The General Plan Update will address key issues, including economic prosperity, future areas for growth, open space, sustainable mobility, environmental justice, and Downtown Plan implementation. This project will engage all sectors of the community through robust and ongoing public outreach. PlaceWorks
will ensure that the environmental review process
satisfies the legal requirements of CEQA and those
of the City, and the EIR analysis will be succinct,
fully documented, and allow for independent
verification of the results.

STOCKTON GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR
Downtown Stockton is oriented around the waterfront, a unique inland port along the San Joaquin River. Over its 160 years, the city has evolved to encompass 65 square miles. Rising housing costs and job growth in the San Francisco Bay Area fueled intense housing development on the outskirts of Stockton, and the city was hit hard by the economic recession that followed.

The 2007 adopted and certified General Plan and EIR were the subject of a lawsuit involving the Sierra Club and State Attorney General. The Settlement Agreement that followed in 2008 called upon the City to reduce GHG emissions through a Climate Action Plan, which was completed in 2014, and General Plan
amendments to promote infill development. PlaceWorks led a new comprehensive update to the General Plan to fulfill the City’s obligations under the Settlement Agreement and to reflect a significantly different set of conditions and trends resulting from the economic recession that came on the heels of the previous General Plan. The update was well timed to help Stockton make the leap to the realization of a stronger, sustainable economy and enhanced quality of life. The General Plan is built on customized corridor-specific components to shift from aging industrial infrastructure into vibrant mixed-use neighborhood arteries. Through meaningful public input, the project team explored land use and circulation options to target areas that can catalyze positive change, and developed creative policies that promote infill development and economic sustainability. The EIR evaluates the General Plan, as required by CEQA, and the team conducted a detailed review of the City’s Development Code to identify needed updates following General Plan adoption. The General Plan was awarded the 2019 APA CA Statewide and Sacramento Valley Section Comprehensive Planning Awards for a Large Jurisdiction.

BUTTE COUNTY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR
Butte County sits just 70 miles north of Sacramento and encompasses approximately 1,670 square miles. The County’s outgoing General Plan 2030 (also completed by PlaceWorks) was intended to guide development for many years, but conditions have changed significantly since its adoption in 2010. In addition to the global pandemic, the county endured several local disasters—e.g., the 2017 Oroville Dam failure; the 2018 Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state’s history; and the 2020 North Complex Fire. PlaceWorks, with support from Provost & Pritchard, helped the County develop creative policies to rebuild and recover from these events, optimize community resilience and safety, preserve agriculture and open lands, and address equity and environmental justice. The new General Plan maintains the careful policy guidance crafted by PlaceWorks in the prior General Plan effort to support agriculture throughout the county, including policies to ensure compatibility between agriculture and other nearby uses and to support uses such as agricultural processing and agritourism. The PlaceWorks team also provided nimble solutions to meet requirements of CEQA in a way that best fit the county’s needs.

YUBA CITY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
PlaceWorks is preparing an update to the City’s General Plan, including the 2014 Housing Element and 2001 Land Use Element. This update is a technical refresh of the General Plan, as some of the local and regional priorities have changed, and to meet updated State of California requirements. Included in the scope of this project is updating the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and preparing a Supplemental EIR to meet the requirements of CEQA. This effort requires careful review of the existing plan and supporting documents, discussions and close coordination with City staff, and public outreach. The more comprehensive updates include conformance with requirements pursuant to SB 244 (disadvantaged unincorporated communities analysis and policy changes), SB 1000 (environmental justice analysis and policy changes), SB 379 (climate change adaptation analysis and policy changes), and SB 1241 (fire hazards review and policy changes), as well as an overhaul of the Housing Element for review and certification by the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD).

Local Experience

FRESNO COUNTY SIXTH CYCLE MULTIJURISDICTIONAL

HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
PlaceWorks was selected by Fresno COG to prepare a Multijurisdictional Housing Element (MJHE) for a number of cities within Fresno County. The MJHE provides an opportunity for countywide housing issues and needs to be more effectively addressed at the regional level rather than just at the local level. In addition, the economies of scale from the multijurisdictional effort can result in significant cost savings for participating jurisdictions. The primary objective of the project is to prepare a regional plan, with individual appendices for each participating jurisdiction, addressing housing needs to be certified by the state. The City of Kingsburg is one of several participating jurisdictions.

FRESNO COG 6TH CYCLE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN
PlaceWorks is working with Fresno COG and its 16 member jurisdictions to prepare the COG’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP). The 6th Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) cycle includes several new legislative requirements compared to the 5th Cycle, including the objective of affirmatively furthering fair housing, which the RHNA methodology developed by the COG must demonstrably further, and three additional factors that the RHNA methodology must consider.

Throughout this process, PlaceWorks is working in close consultation with Fresno COG staff, member agency staff, regional stakeholders, and representatives from HCD to develop an RHNP that meets all requirements set forth by the State of California to ensure every jurisdiction produces its fair share of housing and responds to local needs.

SOUTHWEST FRESNO SPECIFIC PLAN AND PROGRAM EIR
In a comprehensive, community-driven process,
PlaceWorks worked with the City of Fresno and
many stakeholders to develop a Specific Plan and
Program EIR for approximately 3,000 acres of the
Southwest Area of the city, which is a largely
undeveloped and extremely disadvantaged
neighborhood. An initial community health
assessment helped identify the community
environmental health issues that the Plan needed to
address, such as rezoning industrial uses, increasing
walkability to parks, improving access to healthy
foods, and creating opportunities for education and
job training. To ensure that real, beneficial change occurs, PlaceWorks developed a plan that integrates economic analysis and input from a Steering Committee, including residents and developers, to identify development and infill opportunities to create “complete” neighborhoods with a focus on quality single-family residential development and higher-intensity corridors and magnet cores with retail and office uses. Additionally, PlaceWorks conducted the environmental analysis, as well as developed clear action steps for Plan implementation. As part of this process, PlaceWorks collaborated with the City, the District’s Councilmember’s Office, and a robust team of consultants, including Shared Spaces, Centro La Familia, and Pop-Up Design & Development, to create a Plan that the community and City embraced. The Plan and EIR were unanimously adopted by City Council in October 2017.

TULARE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT
PlaceWorks assisted the City of Tulare with finalizing the City’s General Plan, first published in 2007 and
subsequently subject to a court order requiring
modifications to the General Plan and its associated EIR.

The project included three major components: a TransitOriented Development (TOD) Plan to encourage sustainable forms of new development; a revised General Plan with
policies consistent with the TOD Plan and the City’s recently completed Climate Action Plan (CAP); and a fully updated EIR that responded to the court order and cleared the TOD Plan, CAP, and General Plan. The General Plan includes
notable policies to protect agricultural lands, a vital local resource, in the Tulare Urban Development Boundary. For example, as part of its General Plan implementation, the City will create and adopt a mitigation program to address the conversion of Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance to nonagricultural uses.

David Sargent has practiced architecture and urban planning and design for nearly 40 years, in 1995 founding Sargent Town Planning in Ventura to focus his practice on pedestrian- and transitoriented neighborhoods, districts, corridors, towns and cities. He has assembled and directed multidisciplinary teams for urban projects throughout the country, ranging in size from urban infill projects to multi-neighborhood master plans and entire towns, and ranging in scale and character from rural hamlets and small towns to major metropolitan districts and corridors.

David’s recent and current project experience includes general plans, specific plans, form-based codes and objective design and development standards, design guidelines, and implementation strategies for complete, prosperous, sustainable, equitable, human-scale towns and cities of enduring value.

For each project, he and the team carefully analyze the plan area and context in terms of urban form, environmental and economic setting, transportation and infrastructure systems, existing policies and regulations, and than engage stakeholders, the public, and City professional staff to clarify priorities, goals, concepts and strategies to manage and implement positive, locally calibrated, market-driven change over time. Plans are developed through an interactive, collaborative process of consultation, analysis, workshops, and charrettes, illustrated at each stage with very clear, graphic presentations that enable all participants to provide their wellinformed input and consent to the emerging plan.

Selected project experience
General Plan Update & Foothill Corridor Plan (Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 2018-2021) In 1998 STP collaborated with Torti Gallas + Partners to prepare a vision plan for 4 miles of Historic Route 66 in the center of the City, including the transformation of the old highway to a city center boulevard, and the evolution of large and small shopping centers to mixed-use centers and urban neighborhoods. The work was initiated to provide a clear physical vision for subsequent zoning code updates to generate high quality, transit-oriented mixed use development. In 2019 the City retained STP to lead the update of the land use and community design element of their general plan, to be followed by the preparation of new form-based zones and objective development standards for the City’s central corridors, centers, districts and neighborhoods. The General Plan Update was unanimously and enthusiatically adopted by the City Council in December, 2021, and has been recognized by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) with their 2022 Sustainability Award for Efficient & Sustainable Land Use.

General Plan Update & City Center Area Plan (Palm Desert, CA, 2015-2017) As part of a team led by Matt Burris of Raimi + Associates, and as part of a general plan update, STP led public workshops to define a community vision for a “real city center”, focusing on the historic Highway 111 Corridor. STP prepared a 111 Corridor Area Plan as a chapter of the General Plan, along with a City Center form-based development code and public realm master plan to transform old Highway 111 to Boulevard 111, and and San Pablo Avenue - a very ordinary 4-lane collectore street - into walkable “main streets” for surrounding neighborhoods. The San Pablo Avenue transformation jumped to the top of the City Council’s implementation priorities, and they retained STP to further advance that conceptual design. Construction of the first 1/2 mile is complete and adjoining property and business owners are upgrading their buildings, and the second 1/2 mile of street improvements are now under construction.

General Plan Update, Downtown Specific Plan &111 Corridor Specific Plan (Indio, CA, 2017-2022)
As part of a team led by Matt Burris of Raimi + Associates, STP led the urban design vision work for a general plan update, including a focused effort on the Highway 111 Corridor and historic downtown in the center of the City. The General Plan was adopted in 2019. In 2018 the City retained STP to prepare a new Downtown Specific Plan and form-based code, adopted in 2020.

A central element of the firm’s previous work on the Indio General Plan Update was a vision plan and conceptual designs for transforming Highway 111 from a residual highway with strip commercial development and a failing mall to a city center boulevard, lined with significant amounts of housing, a revitalized mall, and mixed-use development within this re-envisioned center of the City. STP is now part of a team preparing a 111 Corridor Specific Plan and formbased code under SB-2 grant funding to help implement diverse housing opportunities that meet the objectives of their RHNA allocation and newly updated Housing Element, and the vision of the new general plan.

General Plan Update & Objective Design Standards (Ontario, CA, 2020-2021) As a sub-consultant to PlaceWorks, STP has been leading the vision and urban design work on designated “mixed-use areas” and will soon be preparing objective design and development standards (ODDS) to streamline entitlements for conforming projects. Focus areas for this work include the Airport Metro District between I-10 4th Street, abutting Rancho Cucamonga, Downtown Ontario, the Holt Street Corridor and Guasti, and the 11 square mile Ontario Ranch at the southerly end of the City. STP has prepared a series of framework plan alternatives for each major mixed-use area and preferred alternatives have been identified. STP has devised a system of Place Types that are correlated with existing land use designations in areas intended for multifamily housing and mixed-use development. Base on the development intensities and intended scale and character of of each Place Type, the firm is currently drafting ODDS that address topics including complete networks of complete streets, block size and connectivity, and building siting, size, scale, character and frontage.

General Plan & Zoning Code Updates (Tehachapi, CA, 2006-2012) While briefly a member of two other firms, Mr. Sargent led a community-based visioning process and general plan update for this small mountain town in the Tehachapi Valley. The vision plan was based on an intensive community engagement process, through which it became clear that new development disliked by most in the community was in fact compliant with the existing general plan and zoning. Following adoption of the General Plan - perhaps the first California general plan based explicitly on “Place Types”, the City retained STP to help update the zoning code by preparing a comprehensive pallette of complete street types and a manual for retrofitting existing streets. The firm was also retained to prepare a specific plan for a new neighborhood as envisioned by the general plan.

General Plan Update (Coachella, CA, 2021-2022)
As part of a team led by Matt Burris of Raimi + Associates - and including Fehr & Peers and Mark Teague - Sargent Town Planning let the preparation of land use and circulation alternatives. With a population of just over 40,000, regional growth projections indicated that the City’s population might grow to 150,000 by 2035. Accordingly the Plan needed to provide a framework policies and strategies for practical, scalable and sustainable growth as the city expands from 8,000 acres potentially 30,000 acres.

The preferred alternative proved to be a simply plan of “green avenues”, following the historic grid of country roads, with vision and policies encouraging growth in the form of complete, walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use centers. The General Plan incorporates many of the principles of New Urbanism, and provides a policy framework that shapes the form and character of the community while allowing a high degree of land use flexibility. 73 CITY OF WATSONVILLE - GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

Selected project experience
General Plan Update & Foothill Corridor Plan, Rancho Cucamonga, CA, 2018-2021) In 1998 STP collaborated with Torti Gallas + Partners to prepare a vision plan for 4 miles of Historic Route 66 in the center of the City, including the transformation of the old highway to a city center boulevard, and the evolution of large and small shopping centers to mixed-use centers and urban neighborhoods. The work was initiated to provide a clear physical vision for subsequent zoning code updates to generate high quality, transit-oriented mixed use development. In 2020 the City retained STP to lead the update of the land use and community design element of their general plan, to be followed by the preparation of new form-based zones and objective development standards for the City’s central corridors, centers, districts and neighborhoods. The General Plan Update was unanimously and enthusiatically adopted by the City Council in December, 2021, and has been recognized by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) with their 2022 Sustainability Award for Efficient & Sustainable Land Use.

City Center Corridor Plan (Palm Desert, CA, 2015-2017)
As a sub-consultant to Raimi + Associates and as part of a general plan update, STP led public workshops to define a community vision for a “real city center”, focusing on the historic Highway 111 Corridor. STP prepared a 111 Corridor Area Plan as a chapter of the General Plan, along with a City Center form-based development code and public realm master plan to transform old Highway 111 to Boulevard 111, and and San Pablo Avenue - a very ordinary 4-lane collectore street - into walkable “main streets” for surrounding neighborhoods. The San Pablo Avenue transformation jumped to the top of the City Council’s implementation priorities, and they retained STP to further advance that conceptual design. Construction of the first 1/2 mile is complete and adjoining property and business owners are upgrading their buildings, and the second 1/2 mile of street improvements are now under construction.

111 Corridor Plan and Downtown Specific Plan (Indio, CA, 2018-2019) As part of a team led by Raimi + Associates, STP led the urban design vision work for a general plan update, including a a new system of Place Type Designations, and focused planning for the Highway 111 Corridor and historic downtown in the center of the City. The General Plan was adopted in 2019, and the City retained STP to prepare a new Downtown Specific Plan and form-based code, adopted in 2020. A central element of the firm’s previous work on the Indio General Plan Update was a vision plan and conceptual designs for transforming Highway 111 from a residual highway with strip commercial development and a failing mall to important avenues including significant amounts of housing, revitalized mall, and mixed-use development within the re-envisioned center of the City. STP is now part of a team preparing a 111 Corridor Specific Plan and form-based code under SB-2 grant funding to help implement diverse housing opportunities that meet the objectives of their RHNA allocation and newly updated Housing Element, and the vision of the new general plan.

General Plan Update & Objective Design Standards (Ontario, CA, 2020-2021) The City of Ontario retained a team led by PlaceWorks with STP leading urban design for major growth areas and mixed-use areas, and to then prepare objective development standards for those areas. The primary focus areas are the historic downtown, the Holt Avenue (Historic Highway 99) corridor, and the I-10 freeway corridor adjacent to Ontario International Airport.

General Plan Update / Downtown Area Plan (Fontana, CA, 2016-2017) As a sub-consultant to Stantec, as part of a general plan update, STP led public workshops to define a community vision for new “Walkable Mixed-Use” place-type designations, and prepared a Downtown Area Plan as a chapter of the new General Plan. That 4 square mile Area Plan included the historic Route 66 Corridor, the historic downtown on the Sierra Avenue corridor, and the Metrolink Station area.

North Tustin Street Specific Plan (Orange, CA, 2021-2022) With SB-2 grant funding, the City of Orange retained a team led STP to prepare a specific plan and form-based code for a 2-mile segment of historic SR 34 in the center of the City. Tustin Street is a historic 6-lane highway, lined with strip shopping centers, two car dealerships, and the Village at Orange shopping mall that has recently lost its original anchor tenants, J.C. Penney and Sears.

The plan is intended to define a vision and form-based objective development standards for the rebirth of the mall as a mixed-use center with significant amounts of housing, and standards for the evolution of the surrounding streets and other properties along the corridor when and if the economy dictates land use changes to preserve and enhance property values.

Village South Specific Plan (Claremont, CA, 2018-present) From a large field of proposers the City of Claremont selected a team led by STP, under a TOD planning grant from Metro, to prepare a plan for an 18-acre expansion of the historic Claremont Village south of the railroad tracks. Plan elements include a community-based vision plan and form-based development code, and Objective Design and Development Standards to predictably implement diverse new housing types in a walkalbe, mixed-use, transit-oriented setting. The Planning Commision unanimously and enthusastically recommended plan adoption on June 1 and Council action is anticipated in the next few weeks.

Form-Based Street Design Guidelines (Pasadena, CA, 2014-2015) With Nelson\Nygaard worked with city staff to prepare comprehensive guidelines for a multimodal street network to preserve neighborhood character and support mixed-use intensification along primary urban corridors.

75 CITY OF WATSONVILLE - GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
Juan Gomez-Novy
Senior Associate | Project Manager
Juan Gomez-Novy has 25 years of experience in architecture and urban planning, having successfully managed large multi-disciplinary teams for a wide variety of projects including downtown and corridor revitalization, transit-oriented development, urban infill, and greenfield neighborhoods.

Juan’s has managed complex urban planning projects that Sargent Town Planning has led or collaborated in preparing over the past decade, including an award winning general plan update for the City of Coachella, a 1600-acre corridor plan for Merced, a City Center Precise Plan for Fremont, transit-oriented specific plan for downtown San Fernando, and a multimodal station area master plan and Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zoning for the neighborhoods surrounding Downtown Lancaster.

Just prior to joining STP in 2012, Juan led jthe Fulton Corridor Specific Plan and Downtown Neighborhoods Community Plan, two interlinked plans encompassing over 7,000 acres to guide the revitalization of Fresno’s Downtown and its surrounding pre-World War II neighborhoods. Juan also managed the Uptown/Town Center Specific Plan for the regeneration of 1,100 acres in Paso Robles, and the Ventura Harbor Specific Plan, a 340- acre harbor regeneration plan in Ventura, California. In each of these three projects Mr.

Sargent structured the scope of work, assembled the team and directed the inital phases of the projects in collaboration with Juan, who carried them to completion when Mr. Sargent reestablished his own firm in 2009.

Selected Project Experience
General Plan Update & Objective Design Standards (Ontario, CA, 2020-2022) Juan is leading STP’s work - as a sub-consultant to PlaceWorks - in preparing Objective Design and Development Standards for mixed-use place types for the City of Ontario. STP has collaborated with PlaceWorks and City staff to define a series off mixed-use place types that are correlated with existing land use designations, to link clear physical pattern, form and character criteria with land use types and intensities in areas that are intended to deliver human-scale, pedestrian-oriented, transit-ready places. To systematically implement the vision for a highquality, connective, human-scale public realm, STP is now drafting ODDS that address the topics of street network, block structure, property frontage, and building scale and character.

General Plan Update (Coachella, CA, 2012-2014)
As part of a team led by Matt Burris of Raimi + Associates, and including Fehr & Peers and Mark Teague, Sargent Town Planning led the vision and urban design work to define a preferred alternative land use and circulation plan for this small desert town. With a population of just over 40,000, regional growth projections anticipated that the City’s population would grow to 150,000 by 2035. Accordingly, Coachella needed a plan that provided for orderly, scalable and sustainable growth. And with an existing urbanized area of approximately 8,000 acres and a municipal planning area of almost 30,000 acres, an fiscally sound strategy for infrastructure expansion was critically important. STP defined an structure of urban corridors as the armature for new walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use centers, with policies intended to focus new development in orderly, well-connected phases. The Plan was recognized by the American Planning Association, Inland Empire Section with its 2015 Comprehensive Plan Small Jurisdiction Award.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 76
General Plan Update & City Center Area Plan (Palm Desert, 2014-2016) Through a previous strategic plan process, the City had identified a “real city center” for this sprawling suburban desert community as their top priority, and STP led the general plan update team’s work on a vision, a plan and a code to realize that goal. Juan managed STP’s work, including a series of City Center public workshops, and regular meetings with City staff and a steering committee of elected and appointed officials. The plan was prepared and refined in a series of intense, collaborative working sessions with Matt Burris of Raimi + Associates and Fehr & Peers, to define feasible strategies for transforming old Highway 111 to “Boulevard 111”, converting “a rip to a zipper” in the urban fabric of central Palm Desert. The Plan included an ambitious design for a comparable transformation of San Pablo Avenue from a wide minor arterial to a main street, linking the El Paseo shopping district to the Civic Center to the north.

The construction of those improvements is now mostly complete and very well-received by the community. The California Chapter of the American Planning Association recognized the General Plan Update - of which the City Center Plan was a key chapter - with its 2017 Award of Merit, Comprehensive Plan, Small Jurisdiction.

Station Area Master Plan & T.O.D. Zoning (Lancaster, CA, 2012-2015) Under a grant from Los Angeles County Metro, the City of Lancaster retained STP to prepare a Metrolink Station Area Plan, including a new master plan for multi-modal access to the station and for transit-oriented development within a largely undeveloped surrounding100-acre area. STP led a robust community engagement process, reaching out to adjacent disadvantaged communities, with the generous assistance of a local church and communit non-profits. Key objectives were to better connect the station and station area to downtown Lancaster, just to the west of and across the tracks from the station, and to provide new services, affordable housing and multi-modal station access for adjacent neighborhoods. Station access was complicated by the planned construction of the California High Speed Rail line betweeen the station and downtown. STP devised several alternative schemes for ensuring multi-modal connectivity and the plan was accepted in 2013.

Also in 2013, through a competitive RFP process, the City selected STP to prepare form-based zoning for transit-oriented development (T.O.D.) for the station area the historic neighborhoods to the west of the station area and south of downtown Lancaster. That work was funded by a grant fro the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The team worked closely and collaboratively with City staff to integrate the new form-based zoning into the City’s municipal code. The zoning was adopted and City staff has subsequently used those zones as the template for additional form-based zones for walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use centers.

Downtown Corridors T.O.D. Specific Plan (San Fernando, 2014-2018) Under a T.O.D. planning grant from Los Angeles County Metro, the City of San Fernando retained a team led by Sargent Town Planning to prepare a comprehensive update to their 1992 Downtown Corridors Specific Plan. As STP’s project manager, Juan collaborated with Mr. Sargent in leading a comprehensive program of analysis, public engagement, and collaboration with a communit advisory committee and City staff to define a vision for new housing and mixed-use infill development within the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink station area. The plan also took into account a planned light rail line connecting across the San Fernando Valley to the Van Nuys Metrolink Station on the Ventura County line - the San Fernando Station is on the Antelope Valley line. Significant community concern regarding new multi-family housing was at odds with the community advisory committee direction, and STP worked closely with City staff to extend the project schedule and outreach process to reach concensus on a plan that had full community support. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) recognized the joint City/ STP efforts with their 2018 Against All Odds Award.

Selected Project Experience
General Plan Update and Corridors Specific Plan, Pomona, CA (2009-2014) As a mature Los Angeles-area suburb dominated by arterial corridors, Pomona had experienced profound demographic, economic, and physical transformations in recent decades. In collaboration with The Concord Group, AECOM and City staff, Gregory Tung assisted the City to update its 1976 General Plan by noting its limited city change areas, retuning city assets to engage regional trends, defining a livable and sustainable City structure framework of neighborhoods, districts, and centers, and establishing a clear vision for “Pomona Tomorrow” to guide state-suggested General Plan elements and ensuing planning tools. The process began by convening joint Council-Planning Commission Study Sessions to explore and develop the General Plan update. It continued through the Corridors Specific Plan’s community workshops to explain how form-based regulations could provide improved controls and investment reliability and target catalytic improvements at transitoriented clusters and opportunity sites. Both documents were adopted in 2014 along with a separate Active Transportation Plan and Green Plan by other team members.

Whittier Boulevard Specific Plan, Corridor Improvements and Gateway Landmarks Phases I and II, Montebello, CA (2001-2010)
Whittier Boulevard spans two miles through the heart of Montebello between neighboring East Los Angeles and Pico Rivera. Freeways, shopping malls, economic decline, singleuse zoning and 1971 earthquake damage had sapped the corridor’s vitality, especially in downtown. Gregory Tung led the corridor Specific Plan (2001-2002) and subsequent Phase 1 and Phase 2 streetscape improvement project (2003-2010), the latter in collaboration

Developed through a public workshop process, the streetscape improvements accented downtown with a colonnade of palm trees and new lighting, reconfigured parking lots to enable them to serve as temporary plazas and provided gateway markers at the Boulevard’s city entrances and downtown parking lots.

The project was recognized with the APWA Southern California Chapter Project of the Year award in 2007.

First Street Streetscape, Livermore, CA (2003-2006)
The First Street streetscape project was the keystone capital improvement project recommended by the Freedman Tung & Bottomley-prepared and highly successful Livermore Downtown Specific Plan (2004). Gregory Tung and the firm’s design team members incorporated elements of Livermore’s winery, working ranch and garden character into a 1/3-mile-long integrated downtown streetscape, thereby transforming a multi-lane state highway strip into a unique walkable street with “flexible zone” outdoor dining and a new town green at its historic crossroads. Project collaborators included City of Livermore Engineering, SFE Landscape Architects and others. Downtown First Street has become the setting for significant investment in new restaurants, shops and offices, a regional theater, multi-screen cinema, and nearby infill housing. The project was recognized with a 2007 Award of Excellence for Public Space and Linkages from the California Redevelopment Agency and a 2009 Great American Main Street Award from the National Trust Main Street Center.

Maclay, San Fernando and Truman Corridors Specific Plan, San Fernando, CA (2002-2005) This Specific Plan guides the revitalization of three primary arterial corridors that form the commercial and circulatory framework of the city, using policies and public improvements to transform them into livable and vital places connected the wider region by the MTA bus and Metrolink service. Drawing on local architectural heritage, the Plan’s design guidelines and development prototypes establish frameworks for compact workplaces, housing and shopping. Gregory Tung worked with the project team to recognize the place context and develop the architectural guidelines and public realm concepts. The Specific Plan was adopted in 2005 and was recognized by the 2005 American Planning Association, Los Angeles Chapter Award for Planning Implementation, Small Jurisdiction. In 2014 the City retained Sargent Town Planning to update this plan with a focus on multi-modal connectivity and housing around the Sylmar/San Fernando Metrolink Station and a new planned light rail connection to Van Nuys. That update was recognized with the Southern Califorinia Association of Governments’ ““Against All Odds Award” in light of an arduous and successful public engagement effort.

Next Generation Workplace District Study, San Leandro, CA (2013) In the postwar era, factory jobs and revenues from the city’s “flatlands” industrial areas fueled suburban prosperity. But as plants closed in the 80’s, built spaces that shifted from production to warehousing and barren streets made it hard to attract “value-added” firms and workers. Gregory Tung and Spinnaker Strategies were engaged by the city to talk to stakeholders, identify assets and needs, develop market- and place-specific strategic actions, and help start a re-visioning of the districts’ innovation-driven potentials for the next generation. The resulting study identified 3 “urban manufacturing” clusters and recommended stronger city engagement, partnerships and marketing. An array of focused placemaking and connectivity improvements were recommended around activity anchors and clusters. The report was presented at a well-attended community meeting and to the City Council in October 2013.

Downtown Plaza Design, Tracy, CA (2010-2012)
At a former parking lot, the Downtown Plaza has created a new community gathering place and investment catalyst flanked by historic buildings on its north, the new Transit Center to its south, and future mixed-use sites within the 43-acre “Bowtie” area.

19 CITY OF SALINAS - ALISAL DISTRICT IDENTITY MASTER PLAN group’s prior downtown revitalization plan, Gregory Tung led a small design team to create an activity focus and everyday-use plaza at the southern edge of downtown. In developing concepts through a community workshop process, the final design featured a roundabout, a paved activity plaza and 4 pylons with fountain jects, lawn areas, shade trees, and angled parking at existing shops in a “flexible parking” format. The completed project received a 2012 San Joaquin Valley Blueprint Award from the Fresno Council of Governments.

Cloverdale Station /Downtown Area Plan (2009-2010)
With a grant from MTC, Cloverdale planned for the extension of SMART commuter rail service northward from the Sonoma and Marin County through the Station/Downtown Area Plan process. The project used a Smart Growth approach to craft policy changes and public realm improvements to position Cloverdale for transit-oriented development and strengthen Downtown while preserving its small-town character. Gregory Tung led the planning and design team and consulting partners Mundie & Associates and Nelson\ Nygaard through 3 community workshops, bringing out concepts like a re-purposing of an overbuilt divided highway (connecting to downtown) into a smaller road and parallel linear park – then vetted with Caltrans prior to plan adoption in 2010.

Downtown Subarea Plan/SR-522 and Bothell Way Multiway Boulevard, Bothell, WA (2007- 2011)
Though busy State Routes 522 and 527 converged in Bothell’s small historic downtown, their strip corridors formats were unattractive. Meanwhile, Main Street’s hidden shops were struggling and surplused school parcels west of SR 527 represented major opportunities.

Through an extensive Roundtable process, FTB educated and helped the community to reenvision a right-sized downtown Bothell with a compact core and “step-down” edges, with SR 527 as a walkable boulevard linking downtown’s “old” and “new” halves and a renewal of Main Street by the realignment of SR 522. These improvements together with new polices and form-based codes became the basis of the Downtown Subarea Plan update (in collaboration with ECONorthwest and Perteet) that unlocked hundreds of millions of dollars of public and private investment in new compact housing, shops, lodging, offices, parks, and new public facilities. Gregory Tung led the conceptual development of the multiway boulevard concept, collaborated on code development, prepared the design guidelines, conducted public realm workshops, and performed design review of initial projects. After the plan’s adoption in 2009, he joined with Perteet’s lead on the Bothell Crossroads and Multiway Boulevard project to transform the two corridor streetscapes within downtown, with SR 522 becoming a landscaped and walkable arterial and SR 527 (later Bothell Way) into the state’s first new sustainable multiway boulevard. The Downtown Plan and the streetscape designs both won many awards and recognitions, including the 2011 Municipal Excellence Award from the Association of Washington Cities, the 2011 Smart Choice Award from the Washington Governor’s Office, the 2011 VISION 2040 Award from the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Greenroads Silver and Bronze certifications for SR 522 and Bothell Way, respectively.

Castro Street Streetscape, Mountain View, CA (1986-1989) As the centerpiece of a revitalized town center shaped by the firm’s Downtown Precise Plan, the redesign of Castro Street became the catalyst of its revitalization. The design reconfigured the 2/3 mile long auto-dominated main street from a 4-lane arterial to a 3-lane walkable street with special unique “flexible zones” serving as tree-shaded curbside parking or on-demand as outdoor café dining patios – “parklets” before there were parklets. Gregory Tung worked carefully on the streetscape’s custom-designed and builtin furnishings, shaping a unique district identity by distilling selected elements of historic and contemporary architecture into the designed and selected furnishings and materials.

The project was recognized along with the overall downtown revitalization by an AIA San Francisco Chapter 1993 Honor Award and was profiled in Great Streets by Allan B. Jacobs. 77 CITY OF WATSONVILLE - GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

The LRSP was centered around a Vision Zero approach which focuses on eliminating fatal and severe injury crashes. Samantha utilized SWITRS and TIMS collision data to evaluate pedestrian and bicyclist safety throughout Hayward and identify crash factors and high injury locations to help improve roadway safety for all road users in Hayward.

City of Anaheim Circulation Element Update; Anaheim, CA. Kittelson is preparing an update to the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which will outline the future transportation network, goals and policies for the City for the next 10 years. For this effort, Kittelson is assessing existing and future conditions at 250 intersections throughout the city, determining how new development potential (such as Disneyland Forward, OC Vibe! and Big A:2050) could affect operations at intersections of major arterial roadways. Samantha evaluated Anaheim’s current transportation network, reviewed local plans, and identified key opportunities and constraints for roadway circulation improvements.

I:\Marketing\Proposals\2023\City of Kingsburg - General Plan Update 23-63\Working Drafts\CSA.docx benefit of Client. Client acknowledges that its right to utilize Work Product pursuant to this agreement will continue only so long as Client is not in default, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this agreement, and Client has performed all its obligations under this agreement.

5. Client agrees not to reuse Work Product, in whole or in part, for any project other than the project that is the subject of this agreement. Client further agrees to waive all claims against Consultant resulting in any way from any unauthorized changes or unauthorized reuse of the Work Product for any other project by anyone on Client’s behalf.

Client agrees not to use or permit any other person to use versions of Work Product which are not final and which are not signed and stamped or sealed by Consultant. Client shall be responsible for any such use of non-final Work Product. Client hereby waives any claim for liability against Consultant for use of non-final Work Product. If a reviewing agency requires that check prints be submitted with a stamp or seal, those shall not be considered final for purposes of this paragraph.

6. In the event Client (1) makes, agrees to, authorizes, or permits changes in Work Product, or (2) makes, agrees to, authorizes, or permits construction of such unauthorized changes, which changes are not consented to in writing by Consultant, or (3) does not follow recommendations prepared by Consultant pursuant to this agreement, resulting in unauthorized changes to the project, Client acknowledges that the unauthorized changes and their effects are not the responsibility of Consultant. Client agrees to release Consultant from all liability arising from such unauthorized changes, and further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Consultant, its officers, directors, employees and subconsultants from and against all claims, demands, damages or costs, including attorneys' fees, arising from such changes.

7. Under no circumstances shall delivery of Work Product for use by the Client be deemed a sale by the Consultant, and the Consultant makes no warranties, either express or implied, of merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall the Consultant be liable for indirect or consequential damages as a result of the Client’s unauthorized use or reuse of the Work Product.

8. The Client is aware that differences may exist between electronic files delivered and the printed hard-copy construction documents. In the event of a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by the Consultant and electronic files, the signed sealed hard-copy documents shall govern.

LIMITATIONS

9. Consultant makes no representations concerning soils or geological conditions unless specifically included in writing in this agreement, or by amendments to this agreement. If Consultant recommends that Client retain the services of a Geotechnical Engineer and Client chooses to not do so, Consultant shall not be responsible for any liability that may arise out of the making of or failure to make soils or geological surveys, subsurface soils or geological tests, or general soils or geological testing.

10. Client acknowledges that, unless specifically stated to the contrary in the proposal’s description of services to be provided, Consultant's scope of services for this project does not include any services related in any way to asbestos and/or hazardous or toxic materials. Should Consultant or any other party encounter such materials on the job site, or should it in any other way become known that such materials are present or may be present on the job site or any adjacent or nearby areas which may affect Consultant's services, Consultant may, at its option, suspend or terminate work on the project until such time as Client retains a qualified contractor to abate and/or remove the asbestos and/or hazardous or toxic materials and warrant that the job site is free from any hazard which may result from the existence of such materials.

INDEMNIFICATION

11. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Consultant will indemnify and hold harmless, but shall have no duty to defend Client, its officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the "Client indemnities") from, for and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses, liabilities, and penalties arising out of or relating to the Project, but only to the extent caused by the negligent or other wrongful acts or omissions of Consultant, its subconsultants, or any person or entity for whose acts or omissions any of them are responsible, or by the failure of any such party to perform as required by this Agreement. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Client will indemnify and hold harmless, but shall have no duty to defend Consultant and its officers, directors, employees and agents from, for and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses, liabilities and penalties arising out of or relating to the Project, but only to the extent caused by the negligent or other wrongful acts or omissions of Client or any person City of Kingsburg January 10, 2024

The obligations and rights of this Section are in addition to other obligations and rights of indemnity provided under this Agreement or applicable law.

FINANCIAL

12. All fees and other charges due Consultant will be billed monthly and shall be due at the time of billing unless specified otherwise in this agreement. If Client fails to pay Consultant within sixty (60) days after invoices are rendered, Consultant shall have the right in its sole discretion to consider such default in payment a material breach of this entire agreement, and, upon written notice, Consultant's duties, obligations and responsibilities under this agreement may be suspended or terminated for cause pursuant to Sections 26 through 31. In such event, Client shall promptly pay Consultant for all outstanding fees and charges due Consultant at the time of suspension or termination including all costs and expenses incurred in the performance of services up to suspension or termination.

13. Consultant shall not be liable to Client for any costs or damages that may result from the termination or suspension of services under this agreement due to Client’s failure to pay Consultant invoices in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. In the event that Consultant agrees to resume terminated or suspended services after receiving full payment of all late invoices, Client agrees that time schedules and fees, as applicable, related to the services will be equitably adjusted to reflect any delays or additional costs caused by the termination or suspension of services.

14. In all cases where the proposal calls for payment of a retainer, that payment shall be made by Client to Consultant prior to commencement of services under this agreement. Upon receipt of retainer payment, the Consultant shall commence services as provided for under this Agreement. Unless otherwise provided for in the project proposal, such retainer shall be held by Consultant throughout the duration of the contract, and shall be applied to the final project invoice, and to any other outstanding AR, including late payment charges, on the project. Any amount of said retainer in excess of the final invoice and other outstanding AR shall be returned to the Client within 30 days of issuance of the final project invoice.
