SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
Approved: ___ lr:? ____ c...._ ._~---
Dave Kiff, City Manager
On October 8, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $321,449 to De Novo Planning Group for the preparation of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update ("CZCU"), a key project identified during the 2022 Strategic Planning and Goal Setting Workshop and as a policy initiative during its 2024 Annual Planning Workshop held on January 19, 2024.

Staff is returning to the City Council with a contract amendment to revise and expand the scope of services associated with the CZCU. The services provided with the restructured contract are detailed in the attached Contract Modification #1 for the CZCU - Expanded Scope of Work (Attachment 1). The consultant anticipates the entire effort (the original scope of work and the additional tasks) will take approximately 26 months (August 2025 to September 2027). The revised schedule prioritizes the adoption of the objective design standards for single-family and two-family residential projects and the updated parking standards.

The City has prepared a proposed amendment to the professional services agreement with De Novo Planning Group for the additional services, which requires $388,300 to complete (Attachment 1).

DISCUSSION
Expanded Scope of Work
The restructured contract includes six additional tasks, with two optional sub tasks, that require additional funding in the amount of $388,300 to cover consultant costs. l. Parking Standards. This task involves developing parking recommendations for commercial areas outside of the Downtown Specific Plan area. The various subtasks include review of existing planning documents to understand the City's current parking regulations and assessing parking Attachment 5

standards utilized in comparable cities, estimation of current parking supply and demand through data collection, and the calculation of a blended parking requirement for non-residential uses.

Two optional subtasks are proposed to supplement the parking-related work:

Task 1.5 - Other Parking Code Recommendations: This subtask involves evaluating and proposing updates to various components of the City's parking regulations, including fractional parking requirements, intensification of use calculations, developing on-site bicycle parking standards, parking area calculation methods, accommodation of ride-hailing services, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) regulations, and zoning constraints related to parking. It should be noted that this optional task implements various strategies and programs contained in the City Council-adopted Parking and Transportation Demand Management Report.
1 Task 1.6 - In-Lieu Parking Certificate Program Recommendations: This subtask will develop recommendations for refining the City's In-Lieu Parking Certificate Program, including adjustments to certificate pricing, strategies to increase participation, and potential expansion of eligible geographic areas as part of the CZCU.

2. Update Commercial Zoning Districts. De Novo Planning Group will review existing provisions in Title 25 related to Commercial Zoning Districts to identify elements to retain, eliminate, or revise.

Based on input from City staff, City Council, Planning Commission, Design Review Board, and public participation efforts, the consultant will prepare comprehensive updates to the Commercial Zoning Districts as part of the broader CZCU effort, which aims to streamline and simplify the zoning code.

3. Update M-JA Zone. This task focuses on the evaluation and update of Laguna Beach Municipal Code Chapter 25.32, M-lA Light Industrial Zone, with an emphasis on expanding permitted uses to include residential, mixed-use, and limited commercial uses. A community workshop will be held specifically for the Laguna Canyon area to gather input on desired future development in the M-lA Zone.

4. General Plan Updates. As part of the CZCU, De Novo Planning Group will collaborate with City staff to identify and address inconsistencies between the Zoning Code and the adopted General Plan.

In addition to required consistency updates - which is covered by the existing contract - this effort will identify opportunities for broader policy improvements to enhance clarity and alignment. Not unlike the Zoning Code, the City's General Plan has been developed on somewhat of an ad hoc basis over the decades to address specific needs. While the General Plan provides useful policy guidance, it could benefit from a more holistic update.

Contract Amendment for Comprehensive Zoning Code Update & Development of Objective Design Standards
July 22, 2025

5. Objective Design Standards for Single-Family and Two-Family Residential Projects. As an expansion to the original scope, subconsultant JKA will prepare objective design standards ("ODS") for single-family and two-family development, including hillside residential development. As discussed further herein, a two-phase approach is proposed for the development of the ODS. This task also includes staff training to support implementation following the adoption of the ODS document.

6. Project Management. Project management will include ongoing coordination between the consultant, City staff, and subconsultants. Activities will involve bi-weekly team conference calls and the preparation of monthly progress updates to ensure effective communication, schedule tracking, and timely delivery of project tasks.

In coordination with the ad hoc committee (Orgill and Whalen), staff has collaborated with the consultant to revise the project schedule. The updated schedule prioritizes the completion of tasks related to the adoption of objective design standards for single- and two-family residential projects, as well as updating parking standards.

Need for Objective Design Standards
In recent years, the State of California has enacted a series of housing laws aimed at increasing the state's housing inventory by reducing barriers to housing production. These laws limit a city's authority to deny certain eligible residential development projects based on standards that are subjective in nature and, instead, requires that such projects be reviewed using objective design standards. Objective design standards are defined under state law as, "standards that involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal." (California Government Code, Section 65913.4.) Some of the City's design review standards are subjective, which cannot be relied upon to ensure that resulting development is compatible with existing development patterns when the City's review authority is limited under state law.

Without objective design standards, the City has more limited review authority to shape the design of future multi-family and residential mixed-use projects and would only be able to review such projects against existing objective standards in the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan. City staff recommends developing objective design standards for single- and two-family residential development projects as well given the continuous development of state housing laws in an effort to assert more local control on design throughout Laguna Beach.
158

Two-Phase Approach to Objective Design Standards (ODS)
The development of Objective Design Standards is proposed in two phases:
• Phase One - which will be led by City staff - implements the "box inside a box2 " concept, focusing
on basic form and massing standards. Staff anticipates that any development allowed under these standards without design review would be limited to a single story and at a height not to exceed 16 feet, and with greater setbacks than those required by the underlying zone. This phase does not address architectural styles or detailed building design elements. This phased approach will allow the City to more quickly adopt and implement objective design standards. Staff proposes to include the Phase One ODS in the Design Review ("DR") Efficiency Ordinance. If the City Council agrees, staff will develop the "box inside a box" ODS and include these development standards in a revised DR Efficiency Ordinance, which will then be transmitted to the California Coastal Commission for preliminary feedback before staff presents the ordinance to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and adoption.
• Phase Two, which is outlined in Task 5 of the proposed contract amendment (Attachment 1), will establish objective design standards for single-family and two-family development, including hillside developments.3 As part of this task, subconsultant JKA will develop ODS incorporating architectural character and style standards. The standards will be presented in multiple formatsincluding illustrative examples, zoning code-style text, and a checklist, and will cover up to seven (7) architectural styles. In addition, a map exhibit will be prepared to identify which architectural styles are permitted within each neighborhood, as applicable.

In parallel, staff is currently evaluating the use of computerized view analysis tools to objectively regulate private view impacts. Such a tool would rely on custom software developed for Laguna Beach and is outside of the scope of this contract amendment.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
On October 8, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $321,449 to De Novo Planning Group for the preparation of the CZCU. Of this amount, the Community Development Department has a total of $191,000 allocated in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 Adopted Budget for this multi-year project.

De Novo Planning Group estimates a total fee of $388,300 to complete the additional tasks associated with the CZCU over the anticipated two-and-a-half-year duration, bringing the total contract cost to $709,749.

At this time, no additional appropriations are required. Staff will request funding for the remaining contract balance as part of the FY 2026-2027 budget cycle.
2 If state law requires the City to review a single- or two-family residential development project based only on objective design standards, the "box inside a box" concept will provide objective design standards that allow a certain form of development. Still, an applicant will have the option to pursue discretionary design review should the applicant want to exceed such allowed form of development. 3 De Novo Planning Group's existing scope of services already addresses objective design standards for projects involving three or more units.

Contract Amendment for Comprehensive Zoning Code Update & Development of Objective Design Standards
July 22, 2025

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The recommended action consists of organizational or administrative activities of the City that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment and/or the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and therefore does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act. (Public Resources Code Section 21065; 14 CCR Section 15378(b)(5) and (4), respectively.) Here, the proposed action includes approval of a professional service agreement and allocations of funds to prepare the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update without a commitment to specific development standards. At present, the environmental analysis of such development standards is too speculative for environmental analysis but will be considered once a draft of the update and recommendation is prepared.

SUBJECT: Contract Modification #1 for the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update - Expanded Scope of Work
Dear Ms. Jung:

Per the City's request, our project team has revised and expanded the scope of work associated with the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update to include additional tasks. The details of this expanded scope of work, including the associated fees, are detailed below.

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1. Parking Standards
For this effort, it is assumed that the parking recommendations will be developed for commercial areas not covered by the 2022 City of Laguna Beach Downtown Specific Plan (herein referred to as the Study Area). Primarily, this will include one block to each side of Pacific Coast Highway to the north and south of the Downtown Specific Plan boundaries (note: the final Study Area will be developed in conjunction with the City). To the north of the Downtown Specific Plan border, the Study Area will likely include the primarily commercial zones between Cliff Drive and McKnight Drive. To the south of the Downtown Specific Plan border, the Study Area will likely include the primarily commercials zones between Legion Street and Stonington Road/Cabrillo Way.

Task 1.1, Review Existing Planning Documents
Kittelson will review relevant City documents in order to gain an understanding of the existing parking regulations and administration requirements. Kittelson will evaluate and review current code requirements, regulations, restrictions, programs, and other standards for parking as related to nonresidential developments throughout the City. These documents will include, but are not limited to:
• Laguna Beach Parking and Transportation Demand Management Report (2023) • Laguna Beach Downtown Specific Plan (2022)
• Downtown Specific Plan Area Parking Actual Demand Study (2017)

• Laguna Beach Municipal Code (2024)
In addition, Kittelson will review the parking regulations for other nearby cities that have a similar context.

Kittelson and the City will work together to identify comparable cities within Southern California and along the California coast, and the City will approve the cities selected for comparison before Kittelson commences on the parking reviews. These reviews will allow for a better understanding of the current state of the practice with similar parking regulations and requirements to Laguna Beach.

Deliverable: A technical memorandum listing the comparable cities, summarizing the planning documents reviewed and their applicability to Laguna Beach, in addition to a summary of the current parking requirements and regulations within the Study Area. Kittelson will submit a draft memorandum for review by City staff, respond to one set of consolidated comments, and then submit a final memorandum.

Task 1.2, Estimation of Current Parking Supply and Demand Kittelson will collect parking supply and occupancy counts throughout the Study Area to determine current parking conditions. Within the Study Area, the parking data will be aggregated into multiple parking districts based on the surrounding land use context and the current parking conditions. At this time, it is anticipated that up to six parking districts will be identified.

The following are the assumptions for this data collection :
• Supply:
o Kittelson will document the number of on-street and off-street public parking spaces within each parking district. This will be obtained through data provided by the City's parking apps (Laguna Beach Parking App using FrogParking data), supplemented by infield counts. Parking regulations, metered status, parking rates, and time limits will also be recorded.
o At up to 40 private parking lots where more than 10 parking spaces are provided, Kittelson will document the associated land use and restrictions/limitations to the use. • Demand:
o Current parking occupancy for the public and private parking facilities within each district will be collected for the following time periods:
■ Typical weekday during the summer and fall (collected every two hours between 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM)
■ Typical weekend day during the summer and fall (collected every two hours between 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM)
The locations of the 40 private parking lots will be developed in conjunction with City staff and will focus on areas where substantial parking is provided and/or areas where high parking occupancy has historically been observed.

Parking occupancy will the summarized by two-hour period and the hours with the peak parking occupancy will be determined for each district and for the City as a whole. Supply and occupancy data will be summarized in a series of maps and tables.

Deliverable: A technical memorandum summarizing the data collection process, parking supplies and parking demands for each parking zone and analysis period. The memorandum will include figures that illustrate the boundary of the parking districts and the locations where data collection was conducted, plus tables to present the results . Kittelson will submit a draft memorandum for review by City staff, respond to one set of consolidated comments, and then submit a final memorandum.

Task 1.3, Calculation of Blended Parking Requirement for Non-Residential Uses Consistent with the methodology established for the Downtown Specific Plan, Kittelson will calculate a blended parking requirement for non-residential uses within the Study Area. This will include the following elements:
• Built Parking Ratio
o Kittelson will work with City staff to obtain parcel-level land use data for the Study Area, for occupied and unoccupied buildings. The land use data will be aggregated by parking district and into residential and non-residential uses. o Within each parking district, the current parking supply (public and private spaces will be totaled.
o The built parking ratio (number of parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of uses) will be calculated based on the total square footage.
• Actual Parking Ratio
o Within each district, the parking demand will be totaled. o The actual parking ratio (number of parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of uses) will be calculated based on the occupied square footage.

The resulting parking ratios per parking district will be documented and compared for summer and nonsummer months. Based on the difference in ratios, Kittelson will recommend a blended parking rate, either at the parking district-level or for all commercial spaces outside of the Downtown Specific Plan area . It should be noted that different parking rates for each district may be recommended if significant variation in parking ratios are determined.

Deliverable: Summary report summarizing the findings from the two technical memoranda (see Tasks 1.1 and 1.2), the parking ratio calculations, and the recommended parking ratio(s). Included in this report will be an executive summary, the results of the data collection and analysis, recommendations and an appendix with the background data and calculations. Kittelson will submit a draft report for review by City staff, respond to up to two sets of consolidated comments, and then submit a final report.

Task 1.4, Administration and Meetings
Kittelson will attend a virtual kick-off meeting and virtual bi-weekly (every other week) meetings (up to 13 meetings) with the City to confirm details of the study (such as the Study Area, peer cities, data collection locations, and data collection times), review study process, discuss findings, and determine next steps. Kittelson will attend up to two Planning Commission or City Council meetings to present the results of the study.

Task 1.5, Other Parking Code Recommendations (Optional) In addition to updates to the non-residential parking standards, the City is also considering updates to several other elements of its parking code and regulations, including:
• Revising fractional parking requirements
• Revising intensification of use calculations
• Developing standards for on-site bicycle parking
• Revising the square footage used to calculate parking requirements • Accounting for ride hailing services
• Updating TDM regulations
• Evaluating zoning constraints
Kittelson will work with the City to determine the approach to address each element, and then identify recommended changes to the current parking codes and standards. This will include a review of comparable cities (see Task 1.1), plus calculations of the potential effects to the City's parking supply and occupancy conditions, as applicable. In addition, variations in the resulting parking supplies will be reviewed within the context of the new non-residential blended parking rate (see above). Note that for this work, it is anticipated that no new data collection will be conducted.

The existing parking standards and zoning code will be reviewed to identify which provisions should be retained, eliminated or revised, consistent with these recommendations . For each element, Kittelson will prepare red line versions for review and approval by City staff.

Kittelson will incorporate the additional efforts associated with this Optional task into the already-planned virtual kick-off meeting and virtual bi-weekly meetings. In addition, Kittelson will attend up to two additional Planning Commission or City Council meetings to present the results of the recommended code changes, given they may have a different approval process than the revised parking requirement itself.

Deliverable: Technical memorandum presenting the issues, recommendations and edited text for the applicable parking standard and regulations. Kittelson will submit a draft memorandum for review by City staff, respond to one set of consolidated comments, and then submit a final memorandum.

Task 1.6, In-Lieu Parking Certificate Program Recommendations (Optional) The City currently has an in-lieu parking certificate program, under which new developments can pay an in-lieu fee instead of building code-required parking. Under the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, the City will incorporate recommendations regarding the cost per certificate, strategies to have greater participation, and expand geographic areas of the program.

Kittelson will review the current in-lieu program, including documentation regarding how its fees were developed, number of developments that have utilized the program, applicable areas of the City, and other relevant information. This will also include a review of in-lieu programs established by comparable cities (see Task 1.1) and other Orange County cities, including their fee per space, and program eligibility and usage.

Using this data, Kittelson will work with the City to determine the approach to address each of the three program elements. In particular, Kittelson will calculate an updated cost per certificate based on data regarding the cost of improvements (e.g., the cost for publicly constructed parking spaces, or the costs for active transportation projects that would reduce parking demand), to be provided by the City. Kittelson will identify approaches to increase the usage of the program and geographic areas, reviewing historic data and discussions with City staff who administer the program . Note that for this work, it is anticipated that no new data collection will be conducted.

The language of the existing in-lieu parking certificate program will be reviewed to identify which provisions should be retained, eliminated or revised, consistent with these recommendations. For each element, Kittelson will prepare red line versions for review and approval by City staff.

Kittelson will incorporate the additional efforts associated with this Optional task into the already-planned virtual kick-off meeting and virtual bi-weekly meetings. In addition, Kittelson will attend up to two additional Planning Commission or City Council meetings to present the results of the recommended changes to the in-lieu parking certificate program, given that it may have a different approval process than the revised parking requirement itself.

Deliverable: Technical memorandum presenting the issues, recommendations and edited text for the inlieu parking certificate program. Kittelson will submit a draft memorandum for review by City staff, respond to one set of consolidated comments, and then submit a final memorandum.

While some initial limited efforts related to the original scope of work were completed in late 2024/early 2025, most of the original scope of work still needs to be completed. The revised project schedule assumes that the entire project (the original scope of work and the additional tasks) will take approximately 26 months. The schedule has also been revised to prioritize the adoption of the SFR ODS and the updated Parking Standards.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO ASSIST WITH THE

PREPARATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement and any necessary amendments thereto, all in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, with De Novo Planning Group to assist with the preparation of a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update;

2. Appropriate $21,449 from anticipated mid-year savings to cover the remaining costs of the project beyond the budgeted $300,000; and

3. Find that this action is not a project subject to California Environmental Quality Act under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

Appropriation: __ $_2=1..._,4_4_9 _________ Fund Name: __ G_e_n_er_·a_l _F_u_nd __ ~-+------ Submitted By:_.._.A .... Q"""' ld/.JA'---"'d...._._& ......... ich ......... w"""""-'--4k~ _ Approved: ~c...\l.J\ ~ David Contreras, Dire6tor of Dave Kiff,i ity Manager Community Development

SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
The City Council identified the "Comprehensive Code Update" as a key project during the 2022 Strategic Planning and Goal Setting Workshop and as a policy initiative during its 2024 Annual Planning Workshop held on January 19, 2024. At its adoption of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget at the City Council meeting on June 13, 2023, the City Council approved funding of $300,000 to retain a consulting firm to assist the City in drafting a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update ("the Update"). Staff issued a Request for Proposal ("RFP") to seek proposals from qualified consultants to assist with the preparation of the Update. The City anticipates the effort will take approximately 24 months. In response to the RFP, the City received four proposals from separate firms and has identified De Novo Planning Group as the "most qualified bidder." A copy of De Novo Planning Group's proposal is included as Attachment 1. The City has prepared a proposed professional services agreement with De Novo Planning Group for the services. A copy of the proposed agreement is included as Attachment 2. The services, as discussed in more detail below, total $321,449.

DISCUSSION
On March 26, 2024, the City Council held a Study Session related to the scope of services for the Update, provided input, and directed staff to proceed by issuing the RFP for the Update. Councilmembers Orgill and Whalen were appointed to a City Council ad hoc committee tasked with collaborating with staff and consultants on the effort.

In accordance with Chapter 2.30 of the Laguna Beach Municipal Code ("LBMC"), City staff issued an RFP to assist with the preparation of the Update. The scope of services addresses the following: 1) Timeline and Milestones; 2) Assessment; 3) Environmental Review; 4) Recommendations; and 5) Deliverables. The goal is to execute a comprehensive update of the City's Zoning Code, which not only meets regulatory requirements but also responds to the needs of our residents and stakeholders while enhancing the 19 174

Attachment 2
requirements for development within residential and commercial zones. The consultant will conduct a public outreach program to maximize success and welcome input from stakeholders, design professionals, and the local community, and attend public hearings to respond to questions regarding the Update and environmental analysis related to this project.

The RFP was posted on PlanetBids on May 16, 2024, and concluded on June 27, 2024. The City received proposals from four firms, with the cost of the proposals ranging from $299,849 to $494,160. Following a review of all proposals, staff determined that three bidders were qualified. City staff reviewed each proposal and evaluated them based upon demonstrated understanding of the project scope, creativity of the submittal, proposed public outreach program and methods, experience working with the City, and experience with professional planning assignments of a similar nature and complexity. In August 2024, three firms were invited to an interview. After careful review, the selection committee affirmed De Novo Planning Group as the "most qualified bidder," as defined in Section 2.30.020 of the LBMC, based on the criteria set forth in LBMC Section 2.30.020. De Novo Planning Group will be partnering with subject-area specialists, JKA Architecture+ Urban Design and Kittleson & Associates, Inc., which specializes in objective standards, transportation, and parking.

The proposed agreement with De Novo Planning Group includes an optional task as identified in De Novo's proposal: optional Phase 7: Environmental Review. As part of Phase 7, which is included in the scope of work in the proposed agreement, the City will consider two, alternative environmental review options:

Option B (Initial Study, Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration) for a total cost of $321,449; or Option C (Addendum) for a total cost of $317,369. For budgetary purposes, staff is requesting an allocation of $321,449.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement, and any necessary amendments thereto, all in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, with De Novo Planning Group to prepare the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and the required environmental review.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "project" under CEQA, as defined in Section 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed action includes approval of a professional service agreement to prepare the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update. Such action will not result in a physical change in the environment, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
De Novo Planning Group estimates a total fee of $321,449 to complete the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, including a full CEQA analysis, which may involve preparing an Initial Study, Negative Declaration, or Mitigated Negative Declaration. The total project budget is $300,000; however, the proposed contract award exceeds this amount by $21,449. 20 175
Attachment 2
Professional Services Agreement for the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update October 8, 2024
Page3 of3
To address this shortfall, an appropriation of $21,449 is requested, which will be covered by anticipated mid-year savings. Depending on the final scope of work and environmental review outcomes, the total project cost may be reduced, resulting in potential savings.

Professional Services Agreement- De Novo Planning Group 29

184
Attachment 2

3.1 Indemnification. To the full extent allowed by law, CONSUL TANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to the CITY and hold harmless the CITY and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers ("Indemnitees") from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, suits, actions, arbitrations proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, civil penalties and fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature, whether actual, alleged or threatened, arising out of or in connection with CONSULT ANT's performance of the services provided under this Agreement or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the CITY.

3.1.1 CONSULT ANT's obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of CONSULTANT's inability to evaluate Liability or because CONSULTANT evaluates Liability and determines that CONSULTANT is not liable to the claimant.

If CONSUL TANT fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due CONSUL TANT under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the CITY, may be retained by the CITY until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until CONSULT ANT accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

3.1.3 Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a "construction contract" as defined by California Civil Code Section 2783, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of CONSUL TANT to indemnify shal I not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.

3.1.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that this Agreement includes design professional services under Civil Code Section 2782.8, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of CONSULT ANT to indemnify shall only be to the full extent permitted by Civil Code Section 2782.8.

3.1.5 If any term of portion of this Section 3.1 is held to be invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, said section shall be interpreted to allow the broadest indemnity permitted by law.

CONSULT ANT represents that the services provided hereunder do not infringe upon any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property rights of a third party.

The CITY in its sole and absolute discretion, may withhold from any payment due to CONSULT ANT, without liability for interest, an amount sufficient to cover such claim or any lien. The failure of the CITY to exercise such right to deduct or withhold shall not act as a waiver of CONSUL TANT's obligation to pay the CITY any sums CONSULTANT owes the CITY.

4.6 Termination for Convenience of the CITY. The CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice of CONSULT ANT of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials shall, at the option of the CITY, become the CITY's property.

4.7.1 In the event the CITY terminates this Agreement in whole or in part as provided in this section, the CITY may procure, upon such terms and such manner as it may determine appropriate, services similar to those described in this Agreement.

Upon termination, CONSULTANT shall be paid the value of the work performed, less payments of compensation previously made.

Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing.

4.9 Legal Actions. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted or maintained in the Municipal and Superior Courts of the State of California in the County of Orange, or in any other appropriate couit with jurisdiction in such County, and CONSULTANT agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the court.

4.14 Extension of Time for Delay.

4.14.1 If the work is delayed at any time by reason of a suspension ordered by the CITY or because of any other act of the CITY, or because of neglect by the CITY without contributory fault or neglect on the part of CONSUL TANT, or if the work should be delayed at any time by reason of strikes, acts of God, the public enemy, acts of the CITY, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, abnormal force, violence of the elements, or for any other unforeseen cause beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of CONSUL TANT, or for any other reason which in the opinion of CONSULT ANT is proper justification for such delay, then CONSULTANT shall be entitled to an extension of time equivalent to the time actually lost by such delay.

4.14.2 CONSUL TANT shall file a written request with the CITY for extension of time within ten (10) days following the beginning of such delay, and failure to do so shall constitute a waiver thereof, provided that in case of a continuing cause of delay, only one claim will be necessary. The CITY shall ascertain the facts and the extent of delay, and extend the time for pe1forming the services for the period of the enforced delay when and if in the judgment of the CITY such delay is justified. The CITY's determination shall be in writing and be final and conclusive upon the Parties to this Agreement.

4.14.3 A request for an extension of time or the granting of an extension of time shall not constitute a basis for any claim against the CITY for additional compensation.

Novo is able to effectively and efficiently manage the entire woi-k program collaborate with public engagement specialists, and connect outreach efforts to actionable public policy work programs.

Our past experience preparing long-range policy cl ocu

When a program doesn't go as-planned or produce the
expected results. the De Novo team seeks to identify the underlying challenge and address it head-on. Our work
program is intended to help the City achieve the level of engagement that must be present in this process 1n order to prepare meaningful policy documents. 44 5

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT GUIDEBOOK
City of Fontana
De Novo Planning Group led the Fontana Downtown Core Project which included changes to the development code and the creation of a Development Guide. The final work product is the Downtown Fontana Developn-,enr Guide ("Guide··). designed to be a user friendly handbook to help guide development in the Downtown Core. De ~~ovo worked with our subconsultants to identify current market conditions and needed incentives necessary to encourage the type of development the City wishes to see.

The City identifa,d th"" Downtown Core as an area whE,re s:.rategically concentrated efforts could provide increased residential development opportunities and offer more support for mixed-uses within a focused area of the Down town. Development within the Downtown Core is implemented through a new General Plan land use categmy and six new Form· Based Code (f'BC) districts
The, goal of Lhis Guide is to encourage and incentivize continued economic investment in the downtown through a clear process and sGt of standards that allows for cieveloprrent to resp(Jnd to market conditions and reflect c ,anging consumption patterns and preforences for 1·etail. housing. and other life-style choices. This Guide provides mar ket-cJriven opportunities for futu rrc,· investment and practrcal impkcmentation st1ategies for the continued success ancJ health of the Downtown Core. including

OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS (JKA EXAMPLE)
City of Palm Desert
The City of Palm Desert has traditionally relied on a combination of design guidelines and discretionary design review to shape buildings project by project. including single-fam ily. multifamily and mixed-use r:,rojects. However. with new State legislatiori this type of review has been replaced by requirements that allow cities to only enforce objective oesigr. standards (ODS) for residential projects JKA was ,·etained by Palm Desert to develop new ODS and challenged by tne City to develop dE;sign standa1ds that reflect the C1ty·s desert setting and character. The 1·esult1ng ODS. both vmtten and illustrated. were first and foremost written to generate alignrnent of new projects with i='alrn Deser: s cm1que tc,pogr aphy. The new ODS emohasize the use ot desert Fiora ·andscape buffers and open space betweer commercial and residential projects the production of shade by both landscape and built-form components and the required use of a more limited material and color- palette inspired by the natural setting. The final work product also includes a d,:,sign sta ndards checklist which outlines all design requirements and options The checklist enhances the consistency and efficiency of staff design ,eview. allowing for faster r;roject approvals.
