CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 1

ATTACHMENT A
CITY OF MANTECA DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN | SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1. Project Initiation and Assessment
Task 1.1. Kick-Off Meeting
Ascent and its teaming partners (The Ascent team) will attend a virtual kick-off meeting with the City to discuss the following:
► City goals and objectives;
► Team member roles and responsibilities;
► Schedule and deliverables;
► Plan Area context;
► Applicable plans, projects, and data references;
► Community involvement; and
► Communication protocols, including regular project calls.

Ascent will provide the meeting summary and an action item list. We will also plan and schedule a site visit with City staff to visit key stops within the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) area and discuss the issues on the ground, key opportunity sites, and the plans and aspirations in place at each location.

Task 1.2. Material Review and Base Maps
Following the kick-off meeting and data exchange, Ascent will prepare a working map database and initial set of base maps that depict the region, city, and DSP area context. The maps will establish the Plan Area boundaries for subsequent work.

As part of this task, the Ascent team will review relevant planning documents and studies including, but not limited to the following to serve as a basis for the Downtown Profile and Existing Conditions analysis:
► City of Manteca General Plan and EIR
► City of Manteca 6th Cycle Housing Element
► Zoning Ordinance (Title 17)
► City of Manteca Active Transportation Plan
► Manteca Downtown Transit Connectivity & Enhancement Plan ► City of Manteca Climate Action Plan
► SB 743 (VMT) Implementation Policy
The Ascent team will provide the City with a list of data or resources that will be needed to support the DSP and environmental review process. Our team will leverage the work that has been produced and highlight key takeaways that will inform the focus of later tasks.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 2
Task 1.3. Downtown Profile and Existing Conditions Report The Ascent team will prepare a profile of the key population and demographic data within the DSP area, including age, ethnicity, employment, income, and travel mode to work as an introduction section to the Existing Conditions Report.

The Ascent team will map and describe the physical and regulatory conditions and opportunities and constraints most relevant to the analysis of Downtown Manteca, to consist of:
► Project Context, including districts, neighborhoods, and corridors that contribute to the identity of the Plan Area and existing uses, including legacy businesses and anchors. ► Historic Background and cultural and historic resources in the DSP area. ► Land Use and Development Regulations, including General Plan and zoning regulations and applicable development standards influencing the urban form, such as density and intensity, height, setbacks, open space, signage, and parking standards.
► Urban Form and Character Analysis as reflected by the block scale, built form figure-ground, architecture, open space, and landscape character.
► Public Space and Placemaking Analysis, including parks and open space network, view corridors, streetscape and landscape features, and branding.
► Development Opportunities and Constraints, including vacant and underdeveloped sites and parcel characteristics, such as size, ownership, and city-owned sites.

Ascent will coordinate work on this task with a site visit to the DSP area to gather on-the-ground insight on current and desired improvements. Ascent will prepare an opportunities and constraints diagram, mapping Downtown’s emerging districts and neighborhoods, circulation, open space, and public space opportunities to aid the team in understanding the conditions and development controls conducive to or hindering Downtown development; and recommendations on the updates necessary to remove barriers or facilitate and incentivize new development.

Task 1.4. Market Demand and Absorption Analysis
EPS will conduct a market demand and absorption analysis involving the following tasks.

Task 1.4.1. Site and Market Area Field Work
As part of this effort, EPS will participate in a site tour of the DSP area to understand and evaluate the current and future activity nodes and opportunity sites. Linkages between potential drivers of demand and the increased catalytic effect of future opportunity sites will be explored, as well as Downtown Manteca’s competitive positioning relative to the larger market area. Market area field work findings will be incorporated in the market demand and absorption analysis memo.

EPS will participate and help facilitate discussions with existing downtown businesses and property owners and active local developers (as scoped in Task 2.3), to get an understanding of the depth of demand from different segments of the community and explore any impediments to operating a business or developing property in the Downtown. Building on the stakeholder input, as well as DSP area and market area field work, EPS will conduct a SWOT assessment for the DSP, to inform market analysis and implementation tasks.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 3
Task 1.4.2. Baseline Demand Analysis
EPS will conduct a Baseline Demand Analysis that reviews the historic and projected drivers of demand for both commercial and residential development, including household growth and changing characteristics, retail spending patterns, changes in local employment by sectors, and commute patterns in and out of Manteca. The results of the demand-side data analysis will be compared to detailed supply-side data (e.g., inventory, absorption, occupancy, pricing) from a variety of private market performance data sources, such as Costar, Gregory Group, and brokerage reports to set a broad local market context that will allow EPS to evaluate the demand for specific commercial uses and residential prototypes.

Task 1.4.3. Downtown Development Potential
For residential, mixed-use, and commercial projects, EPS will establish an initial range for the share of projected Manteca city-wide development potential that could be reasonably captured within the DSP area. The projected absorption of dwelling units and square footage by non-residential use will be included for the planning period of the Specific Plan. The assessment of Downtown’s potential capture of development will incorporate the results of the demand-side data analysis, supply-side metrics, SWOT analysis, and stakeholder input. The residential analysis will assess the future potential for housing of various types, at increased densities, and at all levels of affordability. It will consider the likelihood and benefits of TOD in the DSP area. The commercial analysis will assess trends in retail, office, and mixed-use development in the area as well as future potential by type. The potential for employment in each of these areas will also be included.

Task 1 Deliverables
✓ Kick-off Agenda, Data Needs List, Meeting Summary
✓ Project Context Base Maps
✓ Downtown Profile and Existing Conditions Report
✓ Market Demand and Absorption Analysis Memo (Draft and Final) TASK 2. Community Outreach and Engagement
Task 2.1. Community Involvement Strategy
Plan to Place and Ascent will collaborate with the City to prepare a Community Involvement Strategy that can be refined throughout the project as needed. The strategy will be a living, shared resource to which all members of the project team, including City staff, will have access. The Community Involvement Strategy will be designed to:
► Outline the program and timeline for outreach activities, including community workshops, stakeholder interviews, online survey, and other targeted outreach through community meetings and pop-ups;
► Outline a communications plan for creating awareness, invitation, and creative buzz about the project, including how to contact the City for notifications about the project or to provide additional input.
► Identify target demographic and interest groups, special populations in the community, such as youth/high school students, seniors, and minority residents, and metrics to analyze progress and effectiveness; and
► Confirm roles, coordination, facilitation, and communication responsibilities of the City, Ascent team, and TAC.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 4
► To create an identifiable and consistent brand for this project, Plan to Place will prepare a style guide that identifies the fonts, color schemes, and graphic design elements to be used on all project deliverables. The Downtown Manteca brand will be used for messaging and collateral, including on the project website, PowerPoint presentations, print and digital materials, and project documents.

Task 2.2. Interactive Website
Plan to Place will prepare and launch a dedicated project website that can be linked to the City’s website.

Using Squarespace, a web-based content management system, the site will serve as the primary portal for community involvement. Ascent and Plan to Place will work collaboratively with City staff to develop the content for the website. The site is expected to include:
► A Home page with project overview and updates;
► A Learn More page containing project background information and schedule; ► A Get Involved page with links and announcements about past and upcoming community involvement meetings and events, with space to collect public input or comments over the course of the planning process; and
► A Resources page making available public documents and additional related resources.

The website will integrate social networking tools that are already in use and also accommodate additional applications customized for project-specific functions as needed. The website will host online feedback and interactive activities to gather and summarize topic-specific feedback.

Task 2.3. Stakeholder/Outreach
The Ascent team will conduct one-on-one targeted outreach to representatives of Downtown Manteca, including members of the Downtown Manteca Improvement Association along with other business owners, property owners, community-based organizations, and members of the development community.

The purpose of the interview will be to hear from stakeholder about the issues and opportunities of the Specific Plan, including the impediments to operating a business or developing property in the Downtown and ways the Specific Plan can support the success of local businesses and residents. Following the initial interviews, the Ascent team will reach out to stakeholders to encourage attendance at community events and seek feedback on the draft vision and goals, draft plan scenarios, and the Specific Plan concepts and key strategies.

Task 2.4. Technical Advisory Committee Meetings
Ascent will prepare for and attend up to three meetings with a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The City will organize the TAC, to include staff from various City departments, as well as public agencies, such as Manteca Transit. The first meeting will be used to share the project scope and timeline and query the TAC for feedback on known issues and opportunities in the DSP area. Subsequent meetings with the TAC will address planning scenarios and concepts; the preferred plan and strategies; and share and receive input on the Revised Draft Specific Plan.

Task 2.5. Interactive Online Survey
The first engagement event with the community is proposed to be an interactive online survey to create awareness about the project, introduce the community to the purpose and focus of the project, and engage the community in providing input on what is special or unique about Downtown Manteca, including key assets in the Downtown, and reflecting on the goals and priorities for Downtown. The survey

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 5
form will be concise and accessible on a computer or mobile device and translated in Spanish. The survey is anticipated to be administered and analyzed through Survey Monkey or equivalent software. Feedback will be summarized and used to help facilitate the subsequent visioning workshop for Downtown Manteca. The survey will be advertised on the City and project website, through social media platforms, and in mailers with a link and QR code to access the survey.

Task 2.6. Community Workshops/Open House
The Ascent team will prepare for and attend up to three community workshop or open house events to envision the future of Downtown; review draft scenarios and concepts; and share the preferred plan and key strategies. If desired, some of these workshops can be held virtually to provide access to a broader audience. Plan to Place will use accessible interactive meeting formats to share information and field questions to address community concerns. Meetings will include a combination of live polling, small group activities, and other interactive tools.
► Community Workshop #1: Downtown Visioning Workshop will engage the public in envisioning the future of Downtown Manteca through a presentation of the analysis and feedback received to date and facilitated exercises in group round table formats. ► Community Workshop #2: Draft Alternatives will include a presentation of Draft Plan Alternatives and concepts to solicit feedback from the community on their preferences for land use, mobility, public space and streetscape design improvements, and Downtown branding. The community’s input will set the stage for creating a Preferred Plan and strategies for the development of the DSP.
► Community Workshop/Open House #3: Plan Strategies/Concepts will be organized as an Open House event that will allow participants to engage with the Ascent team to ask questions and share input. The meeting will also include a brief presentation on the Specific Plan concepts and key strategies.

Community workshops will be advertised digitally on the project website and through social media platforms, email list, and physical mailers to be mailed directly to residents by the city. It is anticipated that the City will arrange the meeting venue and above public noticing, including translation in Spanish, Hindi, and Punjabi.

The Ascent team will prepare outreach materials, including messaging for email blasts and social media posts, and preparation of postcards or flyers. The Ascent team will prepare the content for each workshop and lead the facilitation of each workshop, with input and assistance from the City. We will prepare an interactive meeting exercise to foster community input and engagement. The key themes heard from the surveys and workshops will be summarized and posted on the project website.

Task 2.6. Pop-up Event
The Ascent team will prepare for and attend the Manteca Watermelon Street Fair or another pop-up event in Downtown to engage the broader community in a visioning exercise for Downtown Manteca.

This task assumes the City would handle the logistics of reserving a table. It also assumes materials used at the event are largely the same as other materials prepared under Task 2.5.

Task 2.8. Planning Commission and Council Study Sessions Ascent will support up to three briefing meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council to provide project information and opportunities for public comment. Ascent will prepare a PowerPoint

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 6
presentation, support City staff in the delivery of the presentation for each meeting, and take notes on input received from these meetings.

Task 2.9. Additional Engagement Support
This task is included to cover any additional outreach or engagement activities not outlined in the scope above, to provide flexibility to adapt the community engagement program to ensure a successful process.

The Ascent team will seek authorization from City staff prior to billing to this task. Potential engagement activities that may occur under this task include but are not limited to: translation or interpretation services, additional online surveys, “coffee talks” or other informal drop-in office hours, walking tours, additional outreach to business owners or neighborhood groups, and/or additional Planning Commission or City Council meetings
Task 2 Deliverables
✓ Community Involvement Strategy (Draft and Final)
✓ Project Website
✓ Stakeholder Interview Summary
✓ TAC Meeting Summaries (3 events)
✓ Pop-Up Summaries (as applicable)
✓ Community Survey and Summary
✓ Community Workshop Materials and Summaries (3 events) ✓ Commission and City Council Study Sessions Presentation and Summaries (up to 3 meetings) TASK 3. Visioning and Alternative Analysis
The basis for finding the right fit of uses for Downtown Manteca will evolve through a process of visioning with the community and testing Specific Plan development alternatives.

Task 3.1. Vision and Goals
The community engagement process, described in Task 2, will begin to reveal the needs and desires of the community and neighborhood stakeholders leading to identification of community priorities and goals. As part of this process, we will share aspirational images to consider as planning benchmarks or precedents supporting the vision and evolution of Downtown Manteca.

Task 3.2. Opportunity Sites Analysis
In coordination with the work on the Existing Conditions Report and stakeholder involvement, the Ascent team will examine significant opportunity sites within the DSP area that can serve as catalysts for the revitalization of the traditional commercial core, employment centers, and gateways into the Downtown.

Infill development, particularly mixed use, will be encouraged for sites strategically located in the commercial core and adjacent Downtown gateways, to serve as a destination for the community.

Task 3.3. Draft Plan Alternatives and Design Concepts
Task 3.3.1. Draft Plan Alternatives and Concepts
Ascent will prepare two alternatives examining different future scenarios for higher density residential development within the DSP area and testing a mix of housing types and commercial development scenarios. As part of the alternatives process, we will investigate the design of different prototypical housing and mixed-use development strategies on opportunity sites from a programming and site feasibility standpoint, to inform the land use and development program for the Specific Plan. The

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 7
alternatives will test different strategies for land use, intensity, mobility and connectivity, parks, open space, and block and development configurations, consistent with the community’s vision for Downtown Manteca. It is anticipated that the alternatives will prioritize compact Downtown development, with the potential for integrating affordable, “missing middle” and multifamily residential types, and mixed-use transit-oriented development surrounding the Manteca Transit Center. We will also use the site testing of the Plan Alternatives to inform key design standards for the Specific Plan, such as setbacks, stepbacks, open space, and parking.

Task 3.3.2. Multimodal Access and Connectivity Concepts Ascent, with input from Fehr & Peers, will develop a multimodal network plan and street section concepts for the key roadways within the DSP area. Fehr & Peers will provide guidance to the team on fire access and safety, transit improvements, and the types of bicycle, pedestrian design, and safety improvements needed to support local access while implementing the vision of the DSP.

Task 3.3.3.Public Space and Public Realm Design Concepts Ascent, in partnership with ATLAS Lab, will prepare a public space framework plan and design concepts for public spaces that will help to define and connect the Downtown, including:
► Community gathering and event spaces.
► Open space, trail, and paseo concepts to activate the Tidewater Path and Downtown. ► View corridors and public art strategies.
► Streetscape and infrastructure design improvements for the Downtown Core and Transit Center that build upon recent Downtown streetscape improvements. ► Public art and mural opportunities.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 8
Task 4.1. Existing Transportation and Mobility Conditions Fehr & Peers will prepare an existing conditions summary of the transportation and mobility systems, including for cars, transit, bikes, pedestrians, and other active transportation modes, and parking serving the DSP area. To support this task, Fehr & Peers will work with the city to gather the following data:
► Travel Pattern Analysis: Census data will be used to document existing travel patterns such as commute distances, trip length distribution, mode share, vehicle availability. ► Collision Analysis: the latest available 5-year TIMS collision data to identify collision patterns and trends. Fehr & Peers will prepare heat maps showing concentration of collisions and identify bicycle-pedestrian collisions, and locations with a high frequency of severe injury collisions. ► Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis: Use the off-the-shelf City of Manteca General Plan base year travel demand model and the VMT+ tool to obtain average VMT per resident and VMT per worker for the plan area and City of Manteca.
► Transit Stops and Routes: Fehr & Peers will request transit stop and route information for the plan area from the City of Manteca. It is assumed that the data will be provided in a geospatial format compatible with GIS.
► Truck Network: Adopted truck network for the plan area and routes to/from nearby freeways. ► Parking Supply: Fehr & Peers will request available parking supply inventory and utilization data from the City of Manteca for on-street and off-street facilities within the DSP area.

Fehr & Peers will utilize this data to analyze how the DSP area is accessed by various transportation modes. This section will include an evaluation of travel patterns, collisions, parking requirements, sidewalk completeness, bike network, and access to transit, as well as the following illustrations and summaries:
► Existing street network classification per the City of Manteca General Plan (2024) ► Bicycle network per the City of Manteca Active Transportation Plan (2020) ► Sidewalk completeness and pedestrian crossing treatments per the City of Manteca Active Transportation Plan (2020)
► Collision analysis heatmaps per the latest available 5-year period ► Existing transit stops and routes per City of Manteca transit network data ► Existing truck network map
► Parking standards and parking location map identifying existing on-street and off-street parking facilities and any on-street parking controls, such as time limits, based on data provided by the City of Manteca.

This analysis will be based on databases from other adopted plans will be reviewed and updated to reflect the most recent improvements implemented since the original data sets were collected.

Task 4.2. Existing Infrastructure Conditions
West Yost will prepare a brief, qualitative evaluation of the existing water supply, water distribution, sewer, wastewater treatment, stormwater, and flood control facilities in the DSP area. This evaluation will be based on information provided in existing infrastructure master plans and other available studies,

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 9
supplemented with discussions with City staff to identify changes/additions since completion of the plans.

This task will include the preparation of schematic figures of the existing facilities (water, sewer, and stormwater systems) based on CAD/GIS utility mapping of these existing facilities.

The Ascent team will attend one virtual meeting with City staff to learn about the existing utilities infrastructure to gain a thorough understanding of the facilities. We will identify significant utility opportunities and challenges related to providing utility services to the DSP area.

Draft and final memorandums will be prepared to summarize the results of this task.

Task 4.3. Multimodal Access and Connectivity Recommendations Fehr & Peers will build on recently adopted plans and community feedback to identify recommended transportation policies, improvements, and programs, including street cross sections, and street design standards. The analysis will be coordinated with other ongoing efforts, such as the San Joaquin Regional Active Transportation Plan Update (2026) and the Manteca Transit Fixed Route Redesign Study (2026). The Manteca Transit Center and its surrounding neighborhood are identified as an optimal location for a mobility hub in the San Joaquin Regional Mobility Hub Plan (2025). Planned ACE rail station improvements will also be studied to further strengthen the Transit Center’s role in connecting residents, workers, and visitors to the broader city and region.

Mobility hubs enhance multimodal connections and, when designed using best practices, contribute to placemaking and community development. The Multi-Modal Access & Connectivity strategy will focus on the Manteca Transit Center and planned ACE system improvements and recommend multi-modal goals, policies, and improvement projects in alignment with General Plan Policy C-1.4, to improve and expand travel options within the DSP area, including:
► Enhancing sidewalks to create a high-quality pedestrian environment, including wider sidewalks and improved crossings, buffers between sidewalks and vehicle travel lanes, enhanced pedestrian lighting, street furniture, and wayfinding signage.
► Improving bicycle facilities to include provision of bicycle lanes, bike paths, and wayfinding signage along appropriate roadways.
► Enhancing the Downtown Transit Center and future ACE rail station as a mobility hub with first-/ last-mile connection options and placemaking features.
► Enhancing other transit stops through high quality, well-maintained shelters, and the provision of wayfinding signage and real-time data displays.
► Addressing truck network connectivity.

Draft and final memorandums will be prepared to summarize the results of this task.

Task 4.4. Parking Analysis and Transportation Demand Management Cities use parking standards as a policy tool to manage vehicle trips in Specific Plan areas. Measures like parking caps or maximums help align parking supply with actual demand to provide right-sized parking for new development. However, investments in higher-density development, multi-modal infrastructure, and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs can further reduce both vehicle trips and parking demand within the DSP area.

Fehr & Peers will evaluate existing parking standards against demand rates from Parking Generation (ITE, 2023) and Shared Parking (ULI, 2020). Based on this analysis, Fehr & Peers will recommend adjustments to minimum parking ratios and/or introduce maximum ratios for new residential and non-residential

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 10
developments. These ratios can also evolve as new transportation services, such as the ACE Valley Rail, and multi-modal improvements are implemented.

Fehr & Peers will also recommend goals, policies, and/or criteria for the following elements:
► On-street parking and curbside management best practices ► Off-street parking ratios by land use type, including phased standards ► Parking management strategies (e.g., shared parking, district parking, etc.) ► Truck loading facilities (on- and off-street)
► Electric vehicle (EV) parking
► Bicycle parking
► TDM recommendations to reduce vehicle trips and parking demand generated by new developments
► Parking supply review for the Manteca Transit Center and future ACE Commuter Train station ► Parking implementation strategies, such as in-lieu parking fees The results of this task will be combined with the Multimodal Access & Connectivity analysis memorandum Task 4.5. Infrastructure Capacity Analysis
West Yost will analyze the backbone/trunk utility requirements for the preferred Downtown Specific Plan land use alternative. Based on the Specific Plan development projections provided by Ascent, West Yost will analyze the available capacity of existing infrastructure, compare it to buildout conditions, and recommend infrastructure improvements to meet projected growth. The infrastructure evaluations will be at a conceptual level of detail (backbone/trunk level) and based on spreadsheet type calculations (versus development and use of computer models). Planning-level cost estimates will be prepared for the identified infrastructure. These infrastructure evaluations will be at a conceptual level (not at an infrastructure master plan level of detail), addressing as follows:
► For water supply, we will identify the needed future supplies. We will identify the number of wells required to meet the supply assuming an average capacity equal to the capacity of the City’s current wells. We will identify the required water storage volume and number of storage tanks. If transmission mains are needed, we will identify and size the mains based on a maximum water velocity in the main. We will not identify individual distribution networks for the Downtown Specific Plan area.
► For the sewer system, we will identify new major trunk sewers to convey the total flow from the Downtown Specific Plan area to the City’s wastewater treatment plant. However, we will not develop collection systems within the Downtown Specific Plan area. We do not anticipate performing evaluations of the treatment processes within the treatment plant. ► For stormwater, we will identify and size major detention basins and pump stations based on the increase of runoff rate and volume to serve the Downtown Specific Plan area but will not evaluate storm drain systems within the area.

Draft and final memorandums will be prepared to summarize the results of this task.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 11
Optional Task 4.6. Current Average Daily Traffic Counts As an optional task, Fehr & Peers can collect 48-hour daily traffic counts. Fehr & Peers will analyze AM, PM, and Daily volume-to-capacity ratios and has scoped for the evaluation of up to six (6) study roadway segments using the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology.

Task 5.2. Administrative Draft Specific Plan
The Ascent team will prepare an Administrative Draft Plan for review by City staff. The Administrative Draft Plan will incorporate the vision, Preferred Plan Framework, and associated concepts and illustrations from earlier planning tasks, and will be prepared in compliance with State law guidance for Specific Plans. The Plan is anticipated to include the following components:
► Background and Context providing an overview of the purpose and organization of the Plan, the Plan Area context and existing conditions, and issues and opportunities that set the stage for the Specific Plan process.
► Downtown Vision and Framework describing the community-based planning process, input received, and a summary of the community vision and goals or guiding principles. The chapter will also present the illustrative Downtown development plan and opportunity site concepts that informed the development of the Downtown program.
► Downtown Land Use and Development Plan describing the regulatory framework for land use and development within the DSP area, including:
• The Land Use Plan;
• Regulating land use districts; and
• Development standards including height, setback, open space, parking, and other standards. • A form-based district approach to zoning is proposed to be confirmed with the land use and development approach and strategies that will be developed under Task 3.4. ► Mobility and Parking. This chapter will provide the access, circulation, mobility, and transit framework to facilitate movement within and through the Downtown, including new streets and connections, complete street improvements, transit services, and pedestrian and bicycle connections.

CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 12
► Parks and Open Space will describe the plan for parks and open space within the DSP Area, including the opportunity to create a central gathering space for the community and improve open space, trail, and alley and paseo connections into the Downtown. ► Branding, Landscaping and Streetscape Design will include guidance for branding and streetscape design improvements in the Downtown.
► Building, Art, Cultural Heritage, and Placemaking Strategies will analyze other features of the Downtown built environment, including historic resources, building architecture, public art, and other civic placemaking design strategies.
► Downtown Preservation Strategies will address planning and design for short-and long-term Downtown preservation of blight, vagrancy, and deleterious uses through policies and actions addressing enforcement, routine maintenance of Downtown public spaces, and support and services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
► Implementation and Financing Strategy will identify the administration of future development within the DSP area, recommended mobility and infrastructure improvements, and the implementation actions, responsibilities, and time frames to support public and private investment. EPS will identify potential funding sources for public improvements identified for the DSP area, such as a public improvement fee, financing district, grants, and other funding sources.

They will also identify the actions the City should implement to coordinate or execute the funding strategy.
► Downtown Design Standards will be provided to support implementation of the DSP. The Design Standards will include standards for housing, commercial, and mixed-use development, addressing the unique districts and context of the DSP area. The Design Standards will build off the City’s existing Zoning Code where appropriate.

Task 5.3. Revised Draft Specific Plan
Ascent will address the City’s comments on the Administrative Draft Specific Plan, and prepare a Revised Draft Specific Plan.

Task 5.4. Screencheck and Public Review Draft Specific Plan Ascent will process one set of City review comments and stakeholder input, and prepare a Screencheck Public Draft Specific Plan for City review prior to issuing the Public Review Draft Specific Plan for public circulation. A budget for minor revisions is assumed between the Screencheck and Public Review Draft Specific Plan.

TASK 6. Addendum to the General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report The City certified a Program EIR for its General Plan Update in July 2023, and recently prepared an addendum to the Program EIR in February 2024. The Program EIR and addendum provides an initial evaluation of the environmental effects of the establishment of the Specific Plan. Our approach will be to

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 13
leverage the analysis in the General Plan Update EIR to streamline the preparation of addendum to the General Plan Update EIR to address the Specific Plan, consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.

An addendum is proposed given that the DSP area is already developed with urban land uses and that significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the General Plan Update EIR (conversion important farmland, conflicts with agircultural operations, operational air quality impacts and polluction concentrations, traffic noise, and transportation) are not anticipated to be substantially worsened from implementation of the DSP.

The addendum will formatted in a manner consistent with City direction and will address the following topics consistent with State CEQA Guidelines 15162:
► Where the impact was analyzed in the General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum. ► Determine whether the proposed action results in any new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts relative to those identified in the General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum.
► Determine whether any new circumstances have arisen since certification of the General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum that would result in new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts.
► Identify whether there is any new information of substantial importance that is available since certification of the General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum that would require an update to the EIR, such as mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible in the General Plan Update EIR, which would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the DSP.
► Identify whether any mitigation measures in the General Plan Update EIR would also apply to significant impacts from the proposed modifications.

If it is determined through implementation of the tasks below that subsequent environmental review is needed beyond the preparation of an addendum, Ascent’s scope and price would need to be augmented to provide additional services. For example, while not anticipated, if it is determined through the review process that the project would result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts resulting from the project or circumstances, or from new information of substantial importance [as defined in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a][3]], subsequent environmental review could be warranted (e.g., Supplemental or Subsequent EIR).

Task 6.1. Initiation of Environmental Review
The Ascent environmental team will monitor development of the DSP under Task 5 and will provide input on policy provisions that would improve environmental streamlining for subsequent development projects in the DSP area. We will also provide electronic form letters for tribal consultation as required under Senate Bill 18 for the City to distribute. Should preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR be ultimately be required, tribal consultation under Assembly Bill 52 would be required.

Task 6.2. Administrative Draft Addendum
This task will include preparation of the administrative draft addendum based on CEQA State Guidelines Appendix G (Environmental Checklist). The analysis will be formatted and documented to support a determination that the DSP is within the scope of the General Plan Update EIR. During this task, an assessment of mitigation requirements of the General Plan Update EIR will be conducted to confirm the

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 14
incorporation of applicable mitigation measures into the DSP. If impacts are identified that surpass the significance of those evaluated in the General Plan Update EIR, additional analysis, impact determination, and identification of mitigation would be necessary; the City will be immediately notified and a contract and budget amendment would be needed to cover such additional work.

The addendum will be comprised of the following sections or chapters:
► Introduction. The introduction will consist of a summary of the project history, how the project relates to the General Plan, the environmental process associated with approving the DSP, organization of the analysis, and other documents used in preparation of the review. ► Project Description. The project description will include a detailed overview of the components of the DSP and its relationship to the General Plan. Proposed General Plan amendments and zoning changes will also be described.
► Environmental Analysis. The environmental analysis will include the full range of environmental topics addressed in General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum. It will assess the following points for each topic:
• Was the impact analyzed in the prior environmental document, and if so, where? • Does the project involve new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts? • Are there new circumstances involving new significant impacts or substantially more severe impacts?
• Is there any significant new information requiring new analysis or verification? • Are only technical changes or additions needed to make the prior environmental documents sufficient for the proposed project?
• Do mitigation measures from the prior environmental documents resolve significant impacts? The addendum will address all environmental topic areas and will provide a summary of the General Plan Update EIR and the 2024 addendum and mitigation measures that apply to the topic area.

The analysis will consider any differences between the General Plan and the DSP along with changes in circumstances that may alter conclusions about significant environmental effects, including cumulative impacts and regulatory changes. If data gaps are identified, the addnedum will also include a list of data that needs to be supplemented for an adequate environmental analysis. While all environmental topics will be addressed, the following environmental issues are summarized because of their potential importance in the analysis.

Aesthetics – The aesthetics analysis will evaluate how implementation of the DSP could alter the visual character of the area. The analysis will focus on anticipated changes in building height and massing as compared to existing conditions and the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Air Quality – The air quality analysis will focus on plan-specific air quality impacts as compared to the build-out analysis in the General Plan Update EIR. The analysis will review and utilize (as appropriate) the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Thresholds of Significance under its CEQA Guidelines to evaluate DSP in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Biological Resources – The DSP area is developed and lacks natural habitat conditions to support substantial plant and wildlife species. However, trees in the could be designated as protected under Chapter 12.08 the City of Manteca Municipal Code as well as support special-status raptor and migratory bird species. Additionally, unoccupied buildings in the DSP area could support special-status bat species, depending on the condition of the building. The analysis will focus on existing habitat conditions in the

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 15
project area and the potential for the project to impact special-status species in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources – The project will trigger tribal consultation under Senate Bill 18 regarding the potential to impact tribal cultural resources. The analysis will also consider whether any potentially significant historic structures and archaeological resources may exist in the DSP area and how these impacts are addressed in the General Plan Update EIR. The analysis in this section will be based on a Central California Information Center cultural resources record-search conducted for the DSP area, existing information such as the City’s General Plan, and results of the tribal consultation under Senate Bill

18. Energy – The addendum will estimate existing energy demands (building and mobile) in the plan area and will identify changes in energy demand from development under the Specific Plan. The analysis will factor in any proposed energy efficiency or renewable energy use that is included in the DSP. Impacts will be assessed based on State CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, analyzing whether the project may result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy or conflict with a plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Greenhouse Gas and Climate Change – The greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis will quantify the GHG emissions of the project and identify the DSP’s proposed GHG emission reduction measures. The analysis will also address the plan’s consistency with the City’s Climate Action Plan and in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Hazards and Hazardous Materials – The analysis of hazards and hazardous materials will focus on the potential for construction of development envisioned in the DSP and how it was addressed in the General Plan Update EIR. Examples of hazardous materials that could be present and released during construction include asbestos containing materials and lead paint in existing buildings, contaminated soil, and contaminated groundwater. This section will be informed by the City’s General Plan and databases maintained by state agencies, such as Department of Toxic Substances Control’s Envirostor and the State Water Resources Control Board’s Geotracker.

Land Use and Planning – The addendum will evaluate the DSP’s compatibility with existing land uses and development patterns and evaluate the proposed plan’s consistency with other adopted City plans and policies under the General Plan.

Noise – The noise analysis will evaluate potential noise and vibration impacts and will evaluate whether increases in traffic volumes would create new noise impacts not previously addressed in the General Plan Update EIR.

Population and Housing – The addendum will evaluate whether the DSP would result in a substantial increase in population and employment (beyond the General Plan growth projections) and whether the project could displace residences.

Public Services – The analysis will evaluate whether implementation of the DSP would create new public service demands (fire, law enforcement, parks, schools) that would require the construction of new facilities which could trigger environmental impacts not addressed in the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

Transportation – The addendum will summarize the results of the DSP transportation analysis that will focus on changes in vehicle miles traveled, multimodal operations, transportation safety, and conflicts with pedestrian, bicycle, and transit services in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR.

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 16
Fehr & Peers will conduct the transportation analysis to provide an assessment of the Specific Plan’s impacts with respect to the four CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Checklist criteria and the General Plan Update EIR impact conclusions:
► Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities
► Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b) ► Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g. sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment) ► Result in inadequate emergency access
Fehr & Peers will estimate weekday, AM and PM peak hour trip generation for one (1) land use plan using the Trip Generation Manual, 12th Edition (Institute of Transportation Engineers [ITE], 2025).

Fehr & Peers will conduct a screening evaluation for one (1) preferred Specific Plan alternative, with the expectation that the project will screen out of a detailed VMT analysis based on its proximity to the Manteca Transit Center and the criteria outlined in the City of Manteca SB 743 Implementation Policy (2022).

If the project does not screen out and a detailed VMT analysis is required, a contract amendment will be necessary. The detailed VMT analysis is outlined in Optional Subtask 6.2 below.

The analysis of potential transit, bicycle, and pedestrian impacts will be qualitative and completed by reviewing the proposed project’s physical changes to the study area’s transit, bicycle, and pedestrian networks.

Utilities and Services – The analysis of utilities impacts will address water, wastewater, and storm drainage infrastructure and whether any improvements would be required to support the additional development potential (as analyzed in the Infrastructure Capacity Analysis, prepared by West Yost, under Task 4.5) in relation to the impact conclusions of the General Plan Update EIR. This section will be based on standard rates of utility use or demand generated by units of the types of land uses envisioned in the DSP, such as the solid waste generated by a residential unit, for example.

As part of preparation of the administrative draft addendum, Ascent will compile an electronic copy of all cited literature, studies, personal communications, and reference materials used in the preparation of the document.

If it is determined through the preparation of the administrative draft addendum would result in new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts resulting from the project or circumstances, or from new information of substantial importance [as defined in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[a][3]], Ascent will immmediately alert the City to determine the extent of subsequent environmental review required (e.g., Supplemental or Subsequent EIR).

Subtask 6.2.a VMT Analysis Optional Task:

As an optional task, Fehr & Peers will prepare a detailed VMT analysis for the preferred Specific Plan land use and mobility network alternative using the off-the-shelf City of Manteca General Plan travel demand model. Model calibration will be limited to plan area network and land use adjustments to reflect the preferred Specific Plan alternative. Fehr & Peers will obtain the following metrics for the DSP area and City of Manteca:
► Daily VMT per household

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 17
► Daily VMT per resident
► Daily VMT per employee
► Total Daily VMT
The VMT analysis will be conducted for the analysis scenarios:
► Base Year No Project
► Base Year Plus Project
► Cumulative No Project
► Cumulative Plus Project
Should VMT impacts be identified, mitigation measures/modifications to the DSP will be identified. For VMT impacts, mitigations will typically consist of feasible TDM strategies, which are found in the Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity (CAPCOA, 2024).

Task 6.3. Addendum
Based on comments from City staff on the administrative draft addendum, Ascent will prepare a printcheck addendum in electronic form (in Word) for City review. This scope of work assumes that comments will not require analysis of new issues or substantially revised analysis of issues already addressed in the administrative draft.

Based on comments from City staff on the print-check addendum, Ascent will prepare the final form of the addendum in electronic format (Word and PDF) for the City to release. This scope of work assumes that comments will not require analysis of new issues or substantially revised analysis of issues already addressed in the print-check document.

No public review period is required for the addendum purusant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c). Ascent will assist the City in the preparation of CEQA findings associated with addendum for DSP approval.

Task 6.4. Specific Plan Environmental Checklist
As part of this work effort, we will develop an Environmental Checklist template that can be used by City staff for streamlining environmental review or identification of exemptions for subsequent projects in the DSP area.

TASK 7. Adoption and Final Plan

SCOPE OF WORK // ASCENT
CITY OF MANTECA // DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN PAGE 18
Task 7.1. Zoning Ordinance Update
With input from the City, Ascent will draft a revision to the DMU zoning district section and Specific Plan sections (Sections 17.26.050, 17.26.060, and 17.28.020) of the Manteca Municipal Code for review and approval by City staff. Our approach proposes that the new DSP would incorporate standards that update and replace the standards
in the DMU zoning district and that the zoning map would be updated to refer to the Downtown Specific Plan for standards governing development within its boundaries. This assumes that no new standards will need to be produced to complete this Task, but will rely on the text and graphics contained in the Specific Plan. However, we would expect to make that decision with the City over the course of preparing the Specific Plan and would be able to adjust our approach if the discussions with the City lead to a different approach. Draft and final Zoning Ordinance revisions will be prepared for inclusion with the staff report materials to be considered with the adoption of the DSP.

Task 7.2. Commission and Council Adoption Hearings
Ascent will provide support for the Planning Commission and City Council study adoption hearings, and has assumed up to three total meetings. We will prepare a PowerPoint presentation for each meeting and be available to address questions from the Planning Commission or City Council. We assume City staff will prepare the staff reports and noticing for the meetings.

Task 7.3. Final Downtown Specific Plan
Ascent will prepare the Final Specific Plan, incorporating public and City comments following the public review process. Our budget assumes only minor revisions are needed to prepare the Final DSP.

Task 7 Deliverables
