Subject:SP-5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
Dear Mr. Lambert:
PLACEWORKS
Our team is excited to continue our work in Placentia, building off the Chapman Corridor Revitalization Plan to expand or implement new designations and standards for Specific Plan 5 (SP -5). This part of the city is a prime location to create a destination that could give visitors staying in the area a central hub to nearby attractions in Anaheim or elsewhere in Orange County. Capitalizing on the roughly 5 -mile proximity to Disneyland and OCv!be—with their upcoming DisneyForward expansion and new entertainment and sports venues, respectively—SP-5 is an excellent opportunity to continue to spur economic growth for Placentia.
Similar to our approach for Chapman Corridor, we will work alongside the City to ensure the community and decision makers are involved in the planning process—providing valuable input and ensuring there are no surprises along the way. For the land use plan and standards, we will focus on creating a sense of place for this area, encouraging recreation, dining, and other experience -focused uses that will activate the area and support established development such as the existing hotels.
This proposal addresses the tasks identified in the RFP with two possible approaches for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review that would tier off the findings of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the City of Placentia Rich Heritage, Bright Future: Placentia General Plan (General Plan Update) (2019 GP EIR). The first approach is an Addendum ("Option A"), which would provide the most efficient path for CEQA review. However, if the project triggers the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, a Subsequent EIR (SEIR) ("Option B") would be required. Technical consultants supporting this team include Fuscoe Engineering (Fuscoe) and Fehr & Peers (F&P). Fuscoe will assist by preparing drainage, water, and sewer systems necessary for the Specific Plan Update and CEQA document. F&P will assist with traffic and mobility. The technical studies will support both the Specific Plan Update and CEQA effort.
It should be noted that F&P and Fuscoe are working on Chapman Corridor and have collaborated on several similar projects over the years. We look forward to assisting the City with this project.
This proposal shall remain valid for 180 days from the date of submittal. As a Principal, Karen Gulley is authorized to bind the team to the contents of this submittal and to negotiate contracts on behalf of PlaceWorks. Please contact either of us at 714.966.9220 or via email with any questions.
We look forward to your response.

former Principal Planner, City of Fullerton
Our broad experience and technical proficiency have given us a keen understanding of the complexities of both public policies and project designs for sustainable development (economically, environmentally, and equitably). In addition to providing the requisite technical support for wide-ranging tasks, we often serve as a sounding board for clients to explore design and economic strategies and their environmental and regulatory implications.
PlaceWorks' approach to all projects focuses on collaboration. Our policy planners and designers continually confer with our CEQA practitioners and technical specialists to create responsive and site -sensitive plans that satisfy regulatory demands. Whether preparing a specific plan or master plan, conducting public outreach, or conducting a corridor study, we serve as integral partners in a host of planning processes.

Economic, Market, and Fiscal Analysis. PlaceWorks grounds its economic development work in a thorough analysis and understanding of the economic and market forces underlying each project that we undertake. Too often in California, the term "economic development" is used to refer to real estate development. Our practice targets economic and employment growth that drive the demand for all types of real estate development. Without growth in jobs and income, there is little need for real estate development. Led by PlaceWorks' Chief Economist, Steve Gunnells, we prepared the Development Impact Fee Study for Long Beach's Midtown Specific Plan and the Dana Point Market & Fiscal Analysis.
Award -Winning Public Engagement. The PlaceWorks team is invested not only in producing plans that are adoptable and implementable, but in developing an open, engaging, and interactive process that truly incorporates feedback from the public. PlaceWorks' work is founded on the principle that the success of a project lies with the ownership and involvement of community members. We integrate technical expertise with a community-based approach, developing a thorough understanding of the issues and challenges that are relevant to each community. "PlaceWorks immersed
themselves into our
community, establishing
trust among key stakeholders
and public officials, and the
Corridors Plan showed a great
deal of respect to the past,
present, and future of our
City."

CHAPMAN CORRIDOR REGULATION REQUIREMENTS AND
DESIGN GUIDELINES
Cohesive and Integrated Corridor Development
PlaceWorks will tailor development standards and design guidelines for Chapman Avenue and the immediate neighborhood. By implementing new mixed-use General Plan land use designations, the corridor will allow for an integrated land use pattern that encourages multimodal travel, walkability, mixed-use development, mid -density residential, public/private open space opportunities, and high-quality urban design that incentives redevelopment.
The goal is to encourage a network of cohesive development that revitalizes the corridor, provides a path to the Old Town and Packing House Districts, and anchors the westerly city boundary with the City's Civic Center. PlaceWorks is leading community outreach and preparation of this plan, which is expected to be completed in July.

FAIRVIEW DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER VISIONING,
SPECIFIC PLAN, AND EIR
Opportunity Site Planning for Mixed Use, Mixed Income Housing In September of 2023, the City of Costa Mesa initiated the preparation of a Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report to coordinate and facilitate transition of the Fairview Developmental Center (FDC) to a mixed use, mixed income housing community. The FDC is a State-owned property and the State Department of Developmental Services, State Department of General Services, and the City of Costa Mesa will partner on future disposition of the site.
The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element lists the FDC as a housing opportunity site and estimates 2,300 housing units for the location.
Through this process the State will likely sell or lease the FDC site to an owner/developer who would develop the site consistent with the Specific Plan. The FDC Housing Plan is an exciting opportunity for the City to plan for a new neighborhood for Costa Mesa.

TUSTIN LEGACY SPECIFIC PLAN
Re -visioning Infill Development Opportunities
Former Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin, an area now known as Tustin Legacy, is one of the largest infill development opportunity sites in Orange County. PlaceWorks (formerly The Planning Center) completed the original MCAS Tustin Specific Plan in 1999, and in 2013, the City of Tustin decided to take a fresh look at the remaining undeveloped parcels in this area. The re -visioning process focused on a linear park and entertainment uses connecting two of the nation's largest wooden structures -5 -acre blimp hangars—to a nearby Metrolink Station and surrounding and future development.
The amended Specific Plan provides quality development standards and guidelines that protect investment yet are flexible for changing market conditions. The amended plan focuses on new zoning for key planning areas that total 870 acres of vacant/underutilized land. A new urban design guidelines section provides guidance for the layout of blocks, site design, architectural character, outdoor spaces, landscaping, and views. Drawing from existing architectural elements and building form, the plan incorporates a hybrid development code, using form -based elements to prescribe a desired result.
PlaceWorks also completed the supplemental environmental impact report (SEIR) for the specific plan amendment. The original specific plan and 2001 DEIS/EIR established a nonresidential land use trip budget to manage the forecast vehicular trips. This budget was carefully maintained in the SEIR by reallocating trips between planning areas as needed to ensure the specific plan amendment would not impact the overall trip budget.

BEACH BOULEVARD CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN AND EIR
The Heart of West Anaheim
We have reassembled our team from the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan (BBSP). This corridor plan pioneered new mixed-use zoning designations and corridor housing types along a 1.5 -mile segment of Beach Boulevard in Anaheim. The BBSP area is beginning to come alive, replacing problem motels and underutilized sites with new developments—such as 39 Commons, a new retail center, and Nolin, a new townhome community. Fehr and Peers as well as Fuscoe partnered with us to create streetscape and infrastructure plans for the area to support intensification of development, increase safety, and create a sense of place for this community.

Our robust outreach effort was tailored to the demographics of the area. With large household size and roughly 30 percent of household members under the age of 20, we developed a roadshow and partnered with the area high school's government and economics classes to discuss their ideas for the future of their community. Using an online platform, we asked the students to continue to engage with us and to encourage their families to participate as well. We received 365 responses. We provided additional opportunities to learn about the project and provide input through our community advisory committee, developer roundtable, and pop-up booths at existing community events.
Ultimately, the input we received helped to shape the plan, and the approval process with the city was supported by the community.

EL CAMINO REAL IMPROVEMENT IDEAS
THE EL CAMINO PLAN
Creating a Regional Identity
The El Camino Real is the gateway to Atascadero's downtown. The look, feel, and content of this five -mile corridor has a significant bearing on the city's regional identity, local character, and economic health.
Although it has great potential to be a vibrant downtown for shopping, dining, and small businesses, it has been slow to recover from the Great Recession. With high vacancies and nondescript buildings, it currently struggles to compete with nearby Paso Robles and other commercial areas.
PlaceWorks developed the El Camino Plan, whose goal is to identify future land uses and guide urban design concepts with circulation improvements. This project will set a new course for El Camino Real with a combination of strategic public realm investments and incentives for new development. We have provided the city with a custom strategy and set of tools to transform this automobile -oriented, regional corridor into a multimodal economic hub.
Elements of the corridor plan include the formation of new districts; modernization of zoning regulations; dynamic site design concepts for key areas; contemporary architectural style guidelines that also honor local history; streetscape design; and bicycle and pedestrian improvements to address safety concerns. The plan also includes strategies for business attraction, retention, and investment. 1b25 PI

PlaceWorks has never been debarred, suspended, nor otherwise declared ineligible to contract with any federal, state, or local public agency.
Litigation
PlaceWorks has one claim in the past seven years, which will have no effect on our performance or completion of this program.
The claim has to do with a defect case involving the Embarcadero Bridge over the Lake Merritt Channel in the City of Oakland. General Contractor, Flatiron West Inc., filed the initial complaint on October 29, 2019 against the City of Oakland for breach of contract. The City of Oakland cross -complained against TY Lin International Group and AECOM on July 21, 2020. TY Lin/AECOM subsequently filed a cross- complaint against DC&E/PlaceWorks on March 5, 2021. Our pre - construction planning role on the project ended around 2007. The claims against DC&E/PlaceWorks include breach of contract, indemnity, and declaratory relief. In March 2024 a settlement was reached, and the lawsuit was dismissed with no admission of fault on our part.

WORKPLAN/TECHNICAL APPROACH
Project Understanding
Placentia is known as a pleasant place to live; it is lesser known as a place for commerce and recreation but that sentiment is changing.
The City has embarked on several significant planning projects in recent years including Old Town Revitalization Plan, TOD plans I and II, Chapman Corridor Revitalization Plan, and now the update to Specific Plan 5 (SP -5). In each of those plans an economic objective is addressed, whether it be commercial growth through the expansion of mixed- use, retail, hospitality, or population growth by adding capacity for new residential units. SP -5 is another great opportunity for the City to continue to allow for these growth opportunities.
As identified in the RFP, the future Metrolink Station also plays into the City's growth trajectory and the adjacency of the SP -5 area to the TOD "Packing House District" makes it a smart next step to signal to property owners and the development community that the area is ready for change. Coupled with the draw of nearby Disneyland and other large- scale entertainment and sports opportunities in Anaheim, the location of the properties with easy access to the 57 freeway also makes the area suitable for redevelopment. The established Specific Plan provides standards for development and sets permitted land uses but falls short for placemaking, which includes high quality site and building design.
This proposal provides a solid approach to update the Specific Plan and ensure that CEQA clearance streamlines the process for future development. All with the goal of making this a unique area for people to visit—whether they are locals or visitors to Placentia. Our keys to success include:
• Analyze the current SP -5 standards, permitted uses, and existing development to assess what is and is not working.
• Find the right balance between flexibility and design/development control with new standards and introduce design guidelines. • Engage the community in meaningful ways, including property owners and area business operators, to gain insights about their future and ideas for the area.
• Set the stage for the future Streetscape Master Plan, Development Impact Fee Study, and establishment of a Community Facility District.

Task 1. WorkPlan
• Review background documents
• Initiate Community Engagement
• Establish the proposed project

• Optional: Begin Market Analysis
PlaceWorks' Approach
• Listen to the community and decision makers.
• Partner with staff to identify what has and has not worked for the current SP -5.
• Gain insights through a market analysis, optional task. • Capitalize on the momentum of CCRP, TOD, and Old Town along with our knowledge of the City and working relationship with staff to efficiently and timely update SP -5 within the City's identified time frame.
Scope of Work
The tasks below respond the City's RFP and have been further refined to meet the objectives of the SP -5 update based on our team's experience in the city and best practices for completing a specific plan update.
Where overlap occurs in the task schedule, a WorkPlan callout box has been used to identify when they are initiated and where tasks continue to inform other parts of the project. A proposed project schedule is also included in this proposal depicting project process and order of tasks.
Task 1. Kick-off and Project Management
A successful project needs a good foundation. Task 1 allocates time for the PlaceWorks team to meet with staff, kick off the project, and hold regular meetings and check -ins. Our team will also get up to speed with existing conditions analysis in this first task.
1.1 Kick-off Meeting / Background Review and Goal
To kick off the project, our team will meet with an interdepartmental group of City staff to discuss the overall scope for the SP -5 update. It is anticipated that this group will continue to work closely with our team to assist with data collection and community engagement. PlaceWorks will develop the kick-off meeting agenda with city staff to include the project's goals, objectives, finalize tasks, and timeline.
1.2 Existing Conditions Analysis (Story Map)
Similar to the Chapman Corridor effort, we will use Story Maps, an ArcGIS program that allows the online presentation of geographic data and photos. The Story Map will contain an overview of the current SP -5 area including existing land use, proposed/ allowed uses under SP -5, and a high-level demographic summary for the area. Fehr & Peers will prepare maps of existing and planned transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the area to identify gaps and opportunities. Additionally, Fehr & Peers will support the team by preparing a safety review of historical collision data in the study area to identify trends and countermeasures. 26 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
1.3 Project Management and Communication
A successful project requires coordination and communication.
PlaceWorks will lead the day-to-day project management for the SP -5 update. Regular communication via Zoom calls and email will ensure all members of the team are in the know. We will establish a protocol for email communication, identifying who from the City and the consultant team will be part of the communication. Our project manager will use a variety of tools, including an ongoing budget and schedule tracking template to ensure we stay on track.
Deliverable(s):
» Meeting agendas and summaries, maintain schedule, budget tracking, and invoice reporting
Task 2. Community Engagement
Community engagement is an important component of any planning process. Engaging the Placentia community will give us insight into how residents, visitors, and businesses view the SP -5 area and their ideas for improving it. This scope includes two methods for engaging the community, the first through hybrid community workshops and the second by supporting regular communication through the City's website and social media channels.
2.1 Hybrid Community Workshops
This task consists of facilitation of up to 2 community engagement events to help inform development of the Specific Plan Update. Based on our knowledge of the Placentia community, our team is proposing a hybrid in-person workshop/open house.
The hybrid workshop will consist of a short presentation and then time to have in-depth discussion as attendees circulate booths and participate in quick activities. This format gives flexibility for community members to participate at their leisure and to engage for the amount of time they have available. Our team will develop interactive and engaging activities with eye-catching materials, including but not limited to large scale maps, posters, and handouts.
The intent for any format of an in-person session is to facilitate friendly and casual interactions while gaining valuable input for the SP -5 update.
The hybrid workshops could be held within the project boundary, such as the Placentia Corporate Center, at a nearby entertainment/hospitality use such as The Bruery Tasting Room, or at a City -hosted space where the community is already familiar with attending events.
Virtual community workshops could be considered and have the potential of reaching a broader audience, allowing the community to participate remotely via Zoom. Virtual community workshops may WorkPlan/Technical Approach

WorkPlan/Technical Approach
include a presentation followed by discussion breakout rooms. Virtual white boards and other graphic materials such as maps, photos, and drawings would also be used to further breakout room discussions.
Regardless of the location or format, we will work with city staff during the kick-off meeting to confirm the appropriate times to schedule these events and identify the format. In addition to the City Council Study Session described in Task 5, Our project schedule includes two proposed times for community events:
• The first is early in the process to inform the community about the project and gain initial ideas.
• A second is later in the process to obtain feedback for proposed uses, standards, and design guidelines.
This task assumes that the City will take the lead to provide and maintain information about the project on the City's website (see Task
2.2 below) and that the City will take the lead to provide or obtain a consultant for translation services (if needed). Additionally, this task allocates time for Fehr & Peers to support the community engagement process. This could include participation in outreach or preparation of materials including proposed cross-sections on Crowther Avenue, Placentia Avenue, Kimberly Avenue, and Orangethorpe Avenue, and/ or alternative analysis at study intersections that reflect proposed facilities.
Deliverable(s):
» Facilitation of up to 2 community events
» Workshop/event materials (printing included in the reimbursable budget)
» Community Engagement Summary
2.2 Web Page and Other Online Content
This task assumes the City will lead development and maintenance of a project web page hosted on the City's website, consistent with other recent planning projects such as the Chapman Corridor Revitalization Plan and the Old Town Placentia Revitalization Plan. PlaceWorks will provide content as needed to keep the web page up to date. Examples include project narrative briefs, graphics, and project deliverables in pdf or jpeg format.
We will produce other online content to promote awareness of the project. Online content may include a digital project flyer and social media content to drive people to the project web page or promote the community engagement events (see Task 2.1). From time to time we could also post digital polls to ask the community about specific topics. A digital poll would include one or two questions and provide 28 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
an interactive component to the project web page as well as a quick and easy way for community members to get involved. These could be provided through Google Forms or Survey123.
This task assumes that the City will take the lead in sharing the digital flyer and social media content through the City's various email lists, social media, newsletters, flyers at City hall, and other outlets as appropriate.
Deliverable(s):
2 hybrid community workshops (open house / workshop) with supporting materials
1 digital project flyer
Up to 3 sets of social media content (1 set includes the same content formatted for various social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, and X)
Up to 5 digital poll questions—responses to be documented in the Community Outreach Summary from Task 2.1
Task 3. Identify and Prioritize
Options / Develop the Plan
The subtasks described below will help our team to efficiently and systematically update SP -5, potentially introducing new land uses, refining the project boundary, and establishing a project description for CEQA. Ultimately, this task compiles the work into an Administrative Review Draft and Final Plan.
3.1 Site Testing
Once opportunity or catalytic sites have been identified and agreed upon with City staff, PlaceWorks will test fit various types of development on up to three sites to understand capacity, test the exiting standards, and ensure feasibility of development for the SP -5 area.
3.2 Finalize Boundary
After the community and City council have weighed in on the proposed boundary options, the PlaceWorks team will prepare a final project boundary in GIS. This parcel -based approach will allow us to efficiently create the land use and buildout summary in Task 3.3. We will be able to easily share the boundary and associated GIS data back to the City for incorporation in the City's existing GIS database. This task is also the first step toward drafting a project description, which is necessary to initiate CEQA analysis.

3.3 Land Use Plan and Buildout Summary
The next task to inform the project description is finalizing the land use plan and buildout summary. This task is a critical part of the project process. PlaceWorks will lead the effort, working with staff to identify the appropriate densities and intensities for future development and focusing on increasing capacity for areas that are most likely to change.
This task will also be informed by the Market Analysis if this optional task, described below, is selected.
3.4 Land Use Designations and Permitted Uses
PlaceWorks will refine the updated land use designations from Task 3.3.
This task is likely to occur after the City Council weighs in on the SP -5 update at the Study Session in Task 4.1. Land use definitions will be updated or crafted if needed, and the permitted uses table will be finalized for inclusion in the Administrative Review Draft Plan, as described below.
3.5 Update and Draft Development and Design
Standards
To support creating this unique hub in Placentia, our team will focus on standards and guidelines that reinforce placemaking. PlaceWorks will update the standards for building setbacks, heights, massing requirements, minimum lot sizes, the locations of parking, site access, etc. SP -5 does not contain design guidelines, so our team will craft them as a companion to the revised and new development standards.
Consistent with State law, PlaceWorks will prepare objective design standards for any designations that may include a residential use. The guidelines will be graphically rich and will also include public realm design and other criteria identified through the outreach and planning process.
3.6 Administrative Review Draft Plan
In this task the PlaceWorks team will combine the resulting boundary, updated definitions, permitted uses, and standards into one administrative draft document. Having worked closely with City staff through each of these sections, the intent is to streamline the process and efficiently pull them together in one draft document.
Fehr & Peers will support the administrative draft plan with transportation planning to connect the study area to the future Metrolink Station and nearby residences and businesses. Fehr & Peers will prepare maps of existing and planned transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the area creating a proposed mobility plan.
Fehr & Peers will also prepare up to 12 roadway cross-sections of study area streets (Crowther Avenue, Placentia Avenue, Kimberly Avenue, 30 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
and Orangethorpe Avenue) to present recommendations for roadway network improvements. Recommendations will consider potential parking, potential road diets, access management, alternative bicycle facilities, potential microtransit connections to the nearby attractions, and other multimodal best practices. Fehr & Peers will summarize the results of the assessment in a draft technical memorandum that will inform the mobility section of the SP -5 update, it could also be incorporated as an Appendix to the Plan.
This task culminates in an Administrative Review Draft SP -5 document, it assumes:
• 1 redline and 1 clean draft incorporating changes to the Administrative Review Draft to be used as the "Hearing Draft."
Our team will work with the City and respond to comments on the draft report and finalize the Specific Plan Update in Task 3.7, as described below.
3.7 Hearing Draft / Final Plan
The clean draft resulting from the Administrative Review Draft will become the Hearing Draft. This draft is typically used for posting to City website, City decision maker review, etc.
This task assumes:
• 1 redline and 1 clean draft incorporating changes to the Hearing Review Draft, which will become the "Final" Specific Plan document upon City Council approval in Task 4.2
Deliverable(s):
» Confirmed project boundary, land use designations and definitions, permitted uses, proposed buildout, land use map, and catalytic/ opportunity site sketches—all for incorporation into the Administrative Review Draft and Project Description (for CEQA) » Administrative Review Draft, redline and clean (electronic, Work and PDF)

Task 4. Study Session and Public Hearing
Keeping City decision makers informed will be an important part of the project process.
4.1 City Council Study Session
During milestones such as confirming the project boundary, land uses changes, and/or selection of a preferred plan, the PlaceWorks team will lead a study session with City Council. We have budgeted for participation in one study session. Our team will create and present a PowerPoint show summarizing work to date, community outreach, and/ or preferred land use plan depending on where we are at in the project process. We will work with staff during the kick-off meeting in Task 1.1 to align this study session with the milestone(s) that works best for the City.
4.2 City Council Adoption Hearing
Once the CEQA process is finalized in Task 5, our team will support City Staff at a City Council Hearing to adopt the SP -5 update and certify the EIR.
Deliverable(s):
» Preparation and participation in one City Council Study Session » Prepartation and participation in one City Council Hearing to adopt SP -5 and Certify the EIR
» Materials for both include a PowerPoint presentation and assistance with the staff report as needed
Optional Task
Market Assessment (OPTIONAL)
How a commercial hub functions on an economic level is key to its overall success. While we recognize that the City may have a strong understanding of its economic outlook, PlaceWorks proposes to conduct a market assessment to answer critical questions that will inform the urban design/land use framework and mobility plan for the SP -5 update.
We believe this is critical to ensuring that the Plan update is rooted in market reality and will be economically sustainable. To better inform our work the market analysis will:
• Quantify the market potential for commercial, entertainment / recreation, and hotel / hospitality businesses by type and supportable amount of building space at buildout for the Plan area. • Identify possible niches that SP -5 could capitalize on to become a distinct destination.
• Provide recommendations for land use changes in the SP -5 area. 32 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
• Describe strategies and funding mechanisms to support existing business and attract new businesses.
The market analysis will describe Placentia's role and potential as a commercial destination in the North Orange County area. It will assess and quantify market demand for potential uses retail commercial, office, entertainment / recreation, and hotel / hospitality uses.
PlaceWorks will collaborate with City staff to identify key issues to cover in the market analysis. We have found that stakeholder interviews conducted soon after the project kick-off are one of the best ways for the team to quickly assess perspectives on area opportunities and challenges. PlaceWorks will coordinate and facilitate interviews with key members of the community. Our team will work with the City to identify business owners, property owners, real estate brokers, developers, and other stakeholders to include in this task. It is important to meet with other commercial property owners and businesses to identify long-term plans for change, issues that may affect their business, and other needs for residents in the area.
We will conduct the market analysis and prepare a draft report in a digital format. We will review the draft report with City staff. Based on input from the review meeting and one round of consolidated comments, we will prepare and submit a final market analysis report in a digital format as a deliverable product. Content and graphics from the report will be incorporated into the Specific Plan. The scope and budget include internal meetings with the consultant team to incorporate guidance and insight from the market analysis into the overall Specific Plan update.
Deliverable(s):
» In -Person Market Analysis Kick-off Meeting (separate from Project Kick-off)
» Up to 5 Stakeholder interviews, insights will be incorporated into the Market Analysis Report
» Virtual Review Meeting with City Staff (via Zoom or Teams) » Administrative Draft Market Analysis Report (digital format in Word and PDF)
» Final Market Analysis Report (digital format in Word and PDF) WorkPlan/Technical Approach

WorkPlan/Technical Approach
CEQA Approach and Considerations
To provide a cost effective and streamlined CEQA review, we propose preparing a CEQA analysis that tiers off the findings of the 2019 GP EIR. The approved land uses and current boundaries of the SP -5 corridor constitute the approved project. There are two potentially viable CEQA tracks for this project: an Addendum or a Subsequent EIR (SEIR). For both of these options, the impact analysis would focus on the net change between the proposed project and approved project and changes in circumstance since the 2019 GP EIR was certified.
• Addendum Option. An addendum allows the most efficient path for CEQA review because an addendum need not be circulated for public review and does not require Assembly Bill (AB) 52 consultation. The City of Placentia may prepare an addendum to the approved project if some changes or additions to the project are necessary but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of an SEIR are triggered. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states that a subsequent EIR shall be prepared if one or more of the following conditions occurs: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR. If the project does not trigger the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, an Addendum to the approved project is the appropriate documentation for the project.
• Subsequent EIR (SEIR) Option. During the preparation of the technical studies or the environmental analysis, if it is determined that the proposed project triggers the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, an addendum would not be feasible and an SEIR would be the appropriate CEQA documentation. Additionally, based on our understanding of the proposed project, the proposed project has the potential to result in new air quality, GHG, and VMT impacts not previously identified in the 2019 GP EIR, which would trigger the preparation of an SEIR. While an SEIR follows the same public review process as a standard EIR, it allows for a more focused evaluation of environmental impacts since it would tier off the analysis for the approved project in the Certified EIR.
Our scope of work presents a cost-effective and timely approach by starting on the technical studies first; preliminary results from the technical studies will inform the appropriate CEQA path. The scope of work incorporates technical studies for air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, noise and vibration, infrastructure, transportation, and water supply. Concurrent with the technical studies, PlaceWorks will prepare the environmental setting and project description that will be incorporated into either the Addendum or SEIR.
The following scope of work outlines the two CEQA approaches. 34 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
Task 5. CEQA Scope of Work
As described above, PlaceWorks has provided two approaches to CEQA documentation for the proposed project.
Addendum Approach. Option A
For the first approach, PlaceWorks would prepare an Addendum in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA procedures. Where our scope of work or cost differs, we identify the Addendum tasks as "A". This approach will use the latest CEQA Guidelines Appendix G environmental checklist, including a comprehensive analysis of impacts as measured from the approved project for each checklist question using methodologies consistent with other recent City CEQA documents and incorporate applicable mitigation measures from the approved project where necessary to reduce significant impacts to a less than significant level.
SEIR Approach. Option B
For the second approach, PlaceWorks would prepare an SEIR in conformance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA procedures. Where our scope of work or cost differs, we identify the SEIR tasks as "B". This approach includes the preparation of a Notice of Preparation (NOP) that includes a detailed enough project description so that the public understands the project, but no more detailed than necessary to begin the CEQA process. At this time, it is anticipated that the following CEQA topics will be closed out from further review (i.e., not carried through to an SEIR):
• Agricultural and Forestry Resources
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Geology and Soils
• Mineral Resources
• Wildfire
Similar to the Addendum approach, the SEIR will use the latest CEQA Guidelines Appendix G environmental checklist; include a comprehensive analysis of impacts as measured from approved project for each checklist question using methodologies consistent with other recent City CEQA documents; incorporate applicable mitigation measures from the approved project and/or identify new mitigation measures where necessary to reduce significant impacts to a less than significant level.
The following scope includes completion of each step of CEQA processing for both approaches, including document preparation and technical studies, to ensure compliance with CEQA and legal defensibility.
Task 5.1 Project Initiation (Options A & B)
5.1.1 PROJECT INITIATION/KICK-OFF MEETING
PlaceWorks' CEQA Principal and CEQA Project Manager will participate in one project initiation/kick-off meeting with the City to discuss the proposed project and the paths associated with both CEQA approaches (Addendum or SEIR). PlaceWorks will then develop a detailed CEQA schedule that reflects the selected approach and a detailed data needs list.
Deliverable(s):
» Project Schedule and Data Needs
» Kick-off Meeting Attendance and Materials
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 35
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
5.1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PlaceWorks will prepare the project description for the environmental analyses. CEQA Guidelines Section 15124 indicates that the project description should contain precise boundaries and location, a clearly written statement of objectives (SEIR approach only), a general description of the project characteristics and supporting public service facilities, and a statement briefly describing the intended uses of the EIR (SEIR approach only). It requires that the project description not supply extensive detail beyond that needed for evaluation and review of the environmental impacts. A logical, concise, and organized project description sets the tone and structure of the entire CEQA analysis and is essential for developing a defensible environmental document. To achieve these fundamental requirements, PlaceWorks will develop a project description detailing each component of the project, providing clarity on the different phases of the CEQA analysis. A clear description of construction activities, phasing, and assumptions will be outlined so that they tie directly into the technical quantitative analyses. The completed project description will be submitted to the City for review and comment. This scope of work assumes one round of review and comment.
Deliverable(s):
» Project Description (electronic)
Task 5.2 Administrative Draft CEQA Document
Under both the Addendum (Option A) and SEIR (Option B) approaches, PlaceWorks will incorporate the technical analyses developed in Task 4, Technical Analyses, into the CEQA document.
OPTION 5.2.A ADDENDUM
PlaceWorks will coordinate with the City on the appropriate format for an Addendum and provide an administrative draft for review. The administrative draft Addendum will:
• Focus on the proposed changes compared to the approved project. • Determine if there are any effects peculiar to the project that were not originally evaluated. • Include the determination that the findings of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 that would require an SEIR cannot be made.
• Include all the technical analyses from Task 4.
The Addendum will include a discussion that compares the proposed project to the approved project. We will include findings of the environmental effects of the project compared to the approved project. We will rely on and make use of the analysis and mitigation measures in the 2019 GP EIR. Please note that, unlike other CEQA documents (e.g., EIR, MND), an Addendum does not require a public review period. Also, an Addendum does not require AB 52 tribal consultation.
The completed Administrative Draft Addendum will be submitted to the City for review and comment in Microsoft (MS) Word. For the purposes of this proposal, we assume that one round of review with the City of the Administrative Draft Addendum and associated appendices will be necessary and that all comments will be made in the Word document using tracked changes. Modification to the scope of work, budget, and timeline may be necessary if additional reviews are required.

WorkPlan/Technical Approach
OPTION 5.2.B SEIR
5.2.1.8 Notice of Preparation
If it is determined that proceeding with an Addendum is not possible, PlaceWorks will proceed with an SEIR.
The first step in the SEIR process is to prepare and distribute a notice of preparation (NOP). PlaceWorks will prepare the draft NOP and submit it to the City for review and approval. The NOP will clearly identify the public review period, contact person, and address established for submitting responses. After approval, PlaceWorks will distribute copies of the NOP to the State Clearinghouse (uploading documents on behalf of the City to CEQANet), County Clerk, and State and local agencies. It is assumed that the City will conduct any local or radius distribution. This task assumes one round of review and comments with the City and up to 50 certified mailings.
5.2.2.8 Scoping Meeting
The proposed project meets the definition of a project of "statewide, regional, or areawide significance" as defined in CEQA Guidelines section 15206, since the proposed project includes a specific plan amendment. A scoping meeting is required for projects of "statewide, regional, or areawide significance." PlaceWorks will assist the City in organizing and conducting one public scoping meeting to present the proposed project and preliminary environmental topics that will be included in the SEIR, and to solicit comments regarding the scope and content of the environmental issues to be addressed in the SEIR.
PlaceWorks will develop scoping meeting materials for use in the public meeting. For the purposes of this proposal, it is assumed that the scoping meeting will be in person. If various media are necessary that require additional coordination and materials (e.g., facilitation of both in-person and virtual), additional scope and fee will be necessary. PlaceWorks will develop a draft PowerPoint presentation for one round of review and revision.
5.2.3.8 Draft SEIR
PlaceWorks will develop a comprehensive and defensible Draft SEIR for City review. All technical analyses developed in Task 4 will be integrated into the appropriate SEIR sections, in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines. Each topical section of the document will: (a) summarize the approved project; (b) describe existing environmental conditions and pertinent regulatory policies and programs that apply to this project; (c) define the criteria by which impacts will be determined to be significant; (d) determine the environmental changes from the approved project that would result from the project; (e) evaluate the significance of those changes with respect to the impact significance criteria (thresholds) and the evaluation in the approved project; (f) define modifications or new mitigation measures to reduce or avoid all potentially significant adverse impacts; and (g) provide a conclusion as to whether significant impacts would remain even after successful implementation of recommended mitigation measures. This task assumes one round of review by the City. Comments are assumed to be relatively light and not result in the need for additional restructuring or detailed analysis. Should additional rounds of review or restructuring of the document or methodology be necessary, additional budget may be requested.
Deliverable(s):
» File NOP with County Clerk and State Clearinghouse
» NOP and distribution by certified mail (up 50 hard copies, up to 50 flash drives, and 50 certified mailings) » Draft and final NOP (digital)
» Scoping meeting attendance and materials

Task 5.3 Screencheck Draft of CEQA Document (Options A & B) Following the administrative draft review of either an Addendum (Option A) or SEIR (Option B), PlaceWorks will submit a screencheck draft to the City for review. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the City to incorporate and address any comments.
The completed screencheck draft document will be submitted to the City for review and comment.
PlaceWorks' CEQA Principal/Project Manager will meet with the City staff to discuss and resolve any major areas of concern in the screencheck draft. Follow-up will be conducted as necessary to respond to comments.
For the purposes of this proposal, we incorporated one round of review of the screencheck draft with the City. Modification to the scope of work, budget, and time frame may be necessary if additional screencheck reviews are required.
Deliverable(s):
» Electronic version of the Screencheck Draft CEQA Document (Word and PDF format) Task 5.4 Public Draft CEQA Document
OPTION 5.4.A ADDENDUM
Following the receipt of comments on the screencheck draft Addendum, PlaceWorks will prepare the print - check version of the Addendum for the City's final review. This is the last version before the document is ready for decision makers. Upon approval of the print -check draft, PlaceWorks would provide the final Addendum document for Planning Commission and City Council's consideration and determination. It is assumed comments on the print -check will be editorial and minor.
Deliverable(s):
» Printcheck draft and Public Draft Addendum and Appendices (electronic copy Word and PDF) OPTION 5.4.B SEIR
Upon final approval by City staff of the Draft SEIR, PlaceWorks will prepare the Draft SEIR for public review.
This will include final formatting, editing, and printing. PlaceWorks will prepare the Notice of Completion (NOC) and Notice of Availability (NOA) for City approval and signature. PlaceWorks will distribute the NOC and NOA to the State Clearinghouse, County Clerk, and other responsible agencies. It is assumed that the City will handle any online posting and additional distribution of the NOA/NOC. This scope of work does not include development or placement of notices in newspapers.
Deliverable(s):
» File NOA and NOC
» Public Review Draft SEIR and appendices (digital)
» NOA and distribution by certified mail (up 50 hard copies, up to 50 flash drives, and 50 certified mailings) Task 5.5 Final CEQA Document

ti
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
While it is difficult to predict the exact volume of comments that will be received on the Draft SEIR, given the size and location of the project and the issues at hand, our assumption is that there will be a moderate level of response and complexity to the comments received. We will take a systematic approach to developing a Final SEIR that involves these key steps: (1) efficiently catalogue, organize, and disseminate comments/assignments to the team; (2) flag any comments that require additional technical analysis or could potentially trigger Section 15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines regarding recirculation; (3) isolate comments that can be addressed through master responses; and (4) develop a schedule and budget that reflects the level of effort needed. The proposed budget assumes no detailed attorney comment letters or revision to methodology or modeling will be required. The budget and scope will be reassessed upon review of comments received.
Written responses will be prepared for each comment. The draft Final SEIR will contain an introduction describing the public review process for the Draft SEIR, copies of all comment letters, and written responses to all comments. As described previously, master responses will be developed if appropriate based on team discussions. Responses will focus on comments that address the adequacy of the Draft SEIR. Comments that do not address SEIR adequacy will be noted as such, and no further response will be provided unless deemed necessary by the City.
Responses will be prepared by PlaceWorks with input from our in-house technical specialists and subconsultants, as needed. Should comments result in need for revisions to Draft SEIR text, this will be accomplished in strikeout/underline and provided in a dedicated chapter in the Final SEIR. The draft Final SEIR will be provided electronically to the City for review. This task assumes up to 10 comment letters on the Draft SEIR and two rounds of City review and comment on the Draft SEIR. Modification to the scope of work, budget, and time frame may be necessary if additional reviews are required. Additionally, if more comment letters are received than anticipated or extensive comments letters are received, additional scope of work and budget may be necessary. Upon sign -off by the City, the Final SEIR will be completed at least 10 days prior to potential approval by the City.
Deliverable(s):
» Administrative Draft Final SEIR (electronic)
» Printcheck Draft Final SEIR (electronic)
» Public Review Draft Final SEIR (electronic)
Task 5.6 Approval Documents
OPTION 5.6.A ADDENDUM
5.6.1.A&B Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) PlaceWorks will prepare an MMRP based on mitigation measures in the 2019 MMRP and pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. It will be in standard City format and will identify the significant impacts that would result from the project; applicable mitigation measures for each impact; the timing at which the measures will need to be conducted; the entity responsible for implementing the mitigation measure; and the City department or other agency responsible for monitoring the mitigation effort and ensuring its success. The completed MMRP will be submitted to City staff for review and comment. For purposes of this proposal, we incorporated one round of review.
5.6.2.A&B Notice of Determination (NOD)
Within five days of the final approval of the Addendum, PlaceWorks will prepare the required NOD and file it with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse. The NOD and County filing fees will be mailed with pre - stamped return envelope so we receive a filing record. We will request from the City of Placentia a receipt Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 39

of previous payment of California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) filing fees. If this receipt is not available, a second payment may be required (not included in this scope). The current filing costs include $50 (county filing fee) and $4,051.25 (CDFW filing fee).
Deliverable(s):
» MMRP (MS Word and PDF)
» NOD (PDF) Filed with State Clearinghouse and County Clerk OPTION 5.6.B SEIR
If an SEIR is required, PlaceWorks would prepare a MMRP and NOD as detailed in section 5.6 above for the SEIR.
5.6.3.8 Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations In addition, PlaceWorks will prepare the findings of fact and, if necessary, a statement of overriding considerations. This will be based on the Final SEIR's mitigation measures and conclusions. If economic or other information is necessary to support rejection of project alternatives in the Final EIR, it is assumed that this information would be provided by the City. One round of Applicant comments and one round of City comments are assumed.
Deliverable(s):
» MMRP (MS Word and PDF)
» Findings/Statement of Overriding Considerations (MS Word and PDF) (Option 5.6.B only) » NOD (PDF) Filed with State Clearinghouse and County Clerk Task 5.7 Project Meetings, Management, and Coordination (Options A & B) During the course of the project, under both the Addendum (Option A) and SEIR (Option B) approaches, PlaceWorks staff time will be required to manage the PlaceWorks and subconsultant project team; manage the Addendum or SEIR preparation effort; and maintain constant, close communication with the City. This task is intended to ensure that the proposed project will be completed on time and within budget and that all work products are of the highest quality. PlaceWorks will coordinate the team's work for the communication of issues, transmittal of comments, financial management, and other project management matters. Invoices will be provided on a monthly basis for the duration of the proposed project. Project management time is based on one hour per month of the CEQA Principal's time and four hours per month of the CEQA Project Manager's time for the duration of the estimated schedule for each CEQA approach. It assumes up to 6 months for an Addendum (Option A) and 12 months for the SEIR (Option B). If the schedule of the project is extended for reasons beyond PlaceWorks' control, a contract amendment may be required for additional fees for project management and coordination efforts.
This task also assumes a total of 6 virtual meetings for the Addendum approach and 12 virtual meetings for the SEIR approach over the course of the CEQA process with attendance by the CEQA Project Manager, CEQA Principal, and one staff member (if needed).
Deliverable(s):
» Virtual meeting attendance

Task 5.8 Hearing Attendance (Options A & B)
PlaceWorks' CEQA Project Manager will attend up to two public hearings at the City. We assume approximately eight hours for each public hearing — the hours noted include preparation, drive, and attendance time.
Deliverable(s):
» Attendance at up to two public hearings
Task 6. Technical Analyses
It is our understanding that the following technical reports will be prepared, reviewed, and/or approved by the City. PlaceWorks will review these reports and incorporate them into the environmental analysis. • Full record of previously certified/adopted CEQA documents, including Draft and Final EIRs, findings, and resolution
• Geotechnical Report (if available)
• Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (if available)
• Hydrology/Drainage Report (if available)
For purposes of this proposal, the City -prepared technical documents are assumed to be complete and contain the information necessary to adequately evaluate the environmental impacts of the project for either an Addendum or the SEIR approach. We will review the studies for CEQA adequacy and incorporate them into the Addendum or appropriate topical sections of the SEIR.
PlaceWorks and its subconsultants will prepare the following technical analyses to support the proposed project and preparation of the Addendum or SEIR.
Task 6.1 Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Analysis (PlaceWorks) PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality, energy, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions technical analysis to evaluate potential criteria air pollutant, toxic air contaminant (TAC), energy and GHG emissions impacts associated with the proposed project compared to that identified in the 2019 Certified General Plan EIR (2019 GP EIR). Impacts will be programmatic, based on the level of detail identified in the Specific Plan and modeled based on the current methodology of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) for projects in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). Modeling of operational -phase criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions will be conducted using the latest version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod).
The results of the analysis will be summarized in the environmental document, and modeling will be included as an appendix. If necessary, mitigation measures from 2019 GP EIR will be incorporated and/or modified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant regional and/or localized air quality impacts.
Construction Phase Impacts. Potential construction emissions associated with the proposed project will be evaluated because no site-specific construction information is anticipated to be available at this time. Under Option A, mitigation measure AQ -1 of the 2019 GP EIR would be modified to identify clear performance standards for future development project in the Specific Plan area to mitigate potential regional and localized construction emissions impacts of the proposed project. Under Option B, mitigation measure AQ -1 would be deleted and new mitigation measures would be identified to mitigate potential regional and localized construction emissions impacts of the proposed project.
Criteria Air Pollutant and GHG Emissions. The proposed project could generate an increase in criteria air pollutant and/or GHG emissions from transportation sources (passenger vehicles), energy (natural gas and Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 41
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
indirect emissions from purchased electricity), area sources (landscape emissions, consumer products), indirect emissions from water use and wastewater generation, and indirect emissions from waste disposal. It is not anticipated that the land uses within the Specific Plan would include industrial or business park uses that would be likely to generate a substantial number of truck trips or stationary source emissions. PlaceWorks will estimate the increase in emissions associated with the proposed project compared to the approved project.
Modeling will be based on the existing and project weekday and weekend daily trips and weekday vehicle miles traveled provided by Fehr and Peers for the full buildout scenario. PlaceWorks will provide an estimate of the increase in long-term emissions from operation of the project compared to South Coast AQMD's significance thresholds.
Health Impacts of Criteria Air Pollutants. In 2018, the California Supreme Court determined that the EIR for the Friant Ranch project was inadequate because it did not make a reasonable effort to substantively connect the project's air quality impacts to likely health consequences or explain in meaningful detail why such analysis is not feasible. Although the air quality analysis for the previous project did not identify significant unavoidable long-term air quality impacts, the proposed project could exceed the South Coast AQMD regional significance thresholds. At a minimum, PlaceWorks will include a qualitative discussion correlating the proposed project's criteria air pollutant emissions to potential health effects. Many EIRs still provide a qualitative discussion to address the Friant Ranch Ruling because such modeling requires regional -scale photochemical grid modeling tools, and the results of the health incident analysis are not necessarily meaningful to the decision -makers or public.
AQMP Consistency and Other Air Quality Impacts. The SoCAB is currently designated nonattainment under the National and/or California ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for ozone (03), fine inhalable particulate matter (PM25), coarse inhalable particulate matter (PM10), and lead (Los Angeles County only). The Certified South Coast AQMD has adopted air quality management plans (AQMPs) to ensure the SoCAB can attain the long-term National and California AAQS. The analysis will include a consistency evaluation of the project's regional emissions to South Coast AQMD's AQMP. Furthermore, the SoCAB has been designated in attainment for carbon monoxide (CO) under both the California and National AAQS; therefore, the air quality analysis will include only a qualitative assessment of CO hotspots. PlaceWorks will also describe potential odor impacts qualitatively compared to that identified in the Certified EIR.
Energy. PlaceWorks will quantify the net increase in project -related energy use associated the long-term on - road fuel usage based on VMT provided by Fehr & Peers. Fuel use for on -road vehicles will be modeled using the most current model. Electricity and natural gas use associated with operation of the proposed project will be based directly on the CaIEEMod outputs. PlaceWorks will also provide an overview and review of the project's consistency with the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program.
GHG Emissions. The GHG analysis will discuss state, regional, and local GHG reduction goals, including Senate Bill 32 (SB 32), Assembly Bill 1279 (AB 1279), and SB 375. To achieve the GHG reduction targets of SB 32 and AB 1279 the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted the 2022 Scoping Plan. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has adopted the Regional Transportation Plan / Sustainable Communities Strategy (Connect SoCal 2024) to ensure that the southern California region can attain the regional transportation -related GHG reduction goals of SB 375. Consistency of the proposed project with these statewide and regional GHG emissions reduction strategies will be analyzed.
Deliverable(s):
» Air Quality, energy, and GHG analyses will be summarized in the environmental document; modeling included as an appendix

Task 6.2 Noise and Vibration Analysis (PlaceWorks)
PlaceWorks will prepare the noise and vibration technical analyses in relation to the analysis for the proposed project compared to that identified in the 2019 GP EIR. The technical noise impact analysis will discuss relevant standards and criteria for noise exposure, including those in the City of Placentia General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code noise ordinance. The results of this analysis will be summarized in a technical report that can be summarized in the environmental document prepared for the proposed project, and modeling will be provided in an appendix.
Existing Conditions Noise Survey (SEIR Option Only). PlaceWorks will conduct short-term noise monitoring survey to assess existing conditions and identify the nearest sensitive receptors and other environmental characteristics. PlaceWorks' noise specialist will conduct up to four short-term (15 minute) noise measurements at representative off-site noise -sensitive locations.
Transportation Noise. Traffic noise will be analyzed quantitatively based on information provided by Fehr & Peers (F&P). The FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction guidelines will be used to determine if project -related traffic increase would result in significant increases over the baseline conditions.
Stationary Noise. Noise impacts from nontransportation sources will be evaluated, based on local noise standards. PlaceWorks will analyze noise impacts from non -transportation sources within the specific plan in terms of potential impacts to nearby noise -sensitive receptors and the noise limitations identified in the City's Municipal Code.
Construction Noise and Vibration. PlaceWorks will provide a quantitative analysis for potential construction impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project. Noise and vibration effects from construction activities will be estimated based on available construction information provided by the City, and the results will be discussed in terms of accepted local standards and the Federal Transit Administration guidance manual. Feasible mitigation measures will be identified to minimize noise and vibration impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project
Deliverable(s):
» The noise and vibration analysis will be summarized in the environmental document with technical modeling included as an appendix
Task 6.3 Tribal Consultation Support (PlaceWorks)
An Addendum does not require Assembly Bill (AB) 52 tribal consultation. However, the proposed project would require tribal consultation pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 18, which requires tribal consultation if general plan or specific plan is prepared or amended. An SEIR would require tribal consultation under AB 52 and SB 18.
SENATE BILL 18 TRIBAL CONSULTATION
The proposed project requires City review and amendments to SP -5. Under this task, PlaceWorks will coordinate with City staff to prepare SB 18 notices. Upon receipt of the tribe list provided by NAHC, PlaceWorks will prepare a template letter on behalf of the City to the tribe(s) on NAHC's list, requesting that the tribe(s) contact the City in writing (within the time frames established by SB 18) if they wish to consult on the project. The City will be responsible for mailing out the final letters to each tribe on City letterhead and any follow-up coordination and meetings with the tribe(s). It should be noted that typical tribal consultation under SB 18 can be a lengthier process than the AB 52 consultation process, extending a city's discretionary review process for a development project. A city cannot bring a project before its approval body for consideration and approval until the SB 18 process has been completed.
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 43
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
ASSEMBLY BILL 52 TRIBAL CONSULTATION
Consultation with California Native American tribes under AB 52 is the responsibility of the CEQA lead agency—in this case, the City of Placentia. However, PlaceWorks will assist the City with the consultation process. AB 52 states that tribes interested in consulting must submit or have submitted a general request letter to the lead agency to consult under AB 52 on projects requiring the preparation of a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or an environmental impact report. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the City to determine which tribes have submitted these general requests. AB 52 requires that each of these groups must be contacted by letter to provide them with information about the project and asked if they wish to consult with the agency for the project being proposed.
PlaceWorks will draft the template consultation letters on behalf of the City and submit them to City staff for review and use. It is assumed that City staff will print the final letters on City letterhead and mail them to the tribes. In accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1(b)(1), consultation is triggered by a tribe notifying the City in writing of its desire to consult. Consultation (if requested by a tribe) must be initiated within 30 days of the City receiving the written request to consult.
PlaceWorks assumes that the City will consult with the tribes and share the information with PlaceWorks to incorporate the relevant CEQA analysis. PlaceWorks will review any comments and mitigation measures that the tribe(s) provide to City staff during the consultation process to ensure that they are consistent with the provisions of AB 52 and CEQA.
For scheduling purposes, the AB 52 consultation process must be completed, and the findings and conclusions of the process must be carried through to the Tribal Cultural Resources topical section of the SEIR. The draft SEIR cannot be released for public review until the consultation process has been completed.

Task 6.4 Water Supply Assessment (PlaceWorks) (OPTIONAL) Since the final buildout for the proposed project is not known at this time, this task is included as an optional task in case the proposed project meets the requirements of California Senate Bill 610 (SB 610). SB 610 requires the preparation of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA), as part of the environmental review conducted for a qualifying project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), for projects that would demand an amount of water equivalent to the amount required by a 500 -dwelling -unit project.
If a WSA is required, PlaceWorks will prepare the document in compliance with SB 610. The WSA would include an assessment of whether available water supplies are sufficient to serve the demand generated by the project, as well as the reasonably foreseeable cumulative demand in the region over the next 20 years under average normal year, single dry year, and multiple dry year conditions. The WSA will rely on information provided in the Golden State Water Company's Placentia-Yorba Linda Service Area 2020 Urban Water Management Plan and water demand factors based on land use. The WSA will include the following information:
• Sources of water supply
• Quantification of past, current, and projected future water demands • Quantification of past, current, and projected water supply • Evaluation of drought impacts and consideration of variability in demand and supply based upon hydrologic conditions
44 CITY OF PLACENTIA • SP -5 Corridor Plan and Specific Plan Update
ti
• Assessment of water supply sufficiency for the project, based upon this analysis.
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
If there are insufficient supplies to meet demand over the next 20 years, additional sources of supply would need to be identified. If this is the case, the WSA will make recommendations for where these new supply sources will come from. The WSA can also recommend project modifications that could reduce the demand (water usage) at the proposed project.

Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 45
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
TASK 6.5.2 VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED SCREENING ASSESSMENT FOR CEQA F&P will review the project description and conduct a VMT screening assessment based on the City of Placentia Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled and Level of Service Assessment (June 2020). Based F&P's initial review of the project, there is potential that the project will screen from VMT assessment based on its proximity to the future Metrolink Station (transit priority area screening).
F&P will confirm this assumption and that the project meets all the appropriate criteria in a VMT screening assessment.
Consistent with City requirements, F&P will also review the proposed project's potential impact on pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities in the study area.
F&P will summarize the results of their assessment in a draft technical memorandum. F&P will work with the City and respond to comments on the draft report and resubmit as final.
TASK 6.5.3 TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS FOR CEQA (OPTIONAL) If the project is not eligible for VMT screening, F&P will prepare a full transportation impact analysis by forecasting project VMT estimates and comparing those against the City's established thresholds of significance. F&P will utilize a detailed version of the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM) to prepare VMT forecasts.
VMT Forecasting
The following OCTAM forecasting scenarios will be prepared as part of this effort:
• Baseline (2024) No Project
• Baseline (2024) With Project
• Cumulative (2045) No Project
• Cumulative (2045) With Project
Project Level Assessment
For the project level assessment, F&P will code base year OCTAM to represent the Project, isolating the proposed Project in its respective TAZ in base and future models. VMT data will be extracted from the model run and interpolated to represent the project baseline year. VMT per capita will be reported and compared against the City's threshold of significance.
Cumulative Level Assessment
F&P will also review the OCTAM and 2024 SCAG RTP/SCS land use assumptions to confirm consistency with the general plan and RTP land use. If the project is not assumed in the general plan and RTP buildout year land use, a cumulative model run will be required.
Mitigation Measures
If the proposed project is found to have a significant VMT impact, potential mitigation options will be recommended and discussed with the project team for their inclusion as mitigation. The mitigation strategies will be based on transportation demand management (TDM) measures that have been found to be effective in reducing VMT for the housing uses being developed as part of the project and in the context of Placentia consistent with the requirements in the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing health and Equity (2021).

WorkPlan/Technical Approach
Documentation and Meetings
The results of the above assessment will be summarized in a draft technical memorandum. The memorandum will be submitted to the City of Placentia for review. F&P will respond to one round of consolidated comments and submit a final version of the memorandum to the City.
This scope of services includes up to two conference calls with the City but does not include any in-person meetings. In-person meeting or public hearing attendance can be scoped on a time and materials basis as requested by the client.
TASK 6.5.4 LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) TRAFFIC STUDY (OPTIONAL) Though not required by CEQA, intersection capacity analysis is utilized in Placentia to size transportation infrastructure. If authorized, F&P will conduct a traffic study to assess the project's effect on local transportation infrastructure and identify potential future improvements needed to meet the City's LOS standard. Although the study area will be finalized after the Traffic Study Scoping task below, F&P's scope of work below assumes a traffic study that will evaluate up to five key intersections based on preliminary peak hour trip estimates, which may include the following:
• Crowther Avenue & Placentia Avenue
• Kimberly Avenue & Placentia Avenue
• Orangethorpe Avenue & Placentia Avenue
• Orangethorpe Avenue & SR -57 Southbound Ramps/Iowa Place • Orangethorpe Avenue & SR -57 Northbound Ramps
Traffic Study Scoping
F&P will utilize trip generation estimates developed in Task 6.4.1, above, to identify the appropriate study area. Typically, the City of Placentia, City of Fullerton, and Caltrans request that any intersection to which a project would add 50 or more peak hour trips should be included in a traffic study. F&P will identify applicable intersections in a scoping memorandum that also summarizes the project information, trip generation estimates, trip distribution, and analysis and forecasting methodology. F&P will respond to one round of comments from the City and return the scoping form as final.
If additional intersections are added to the study scope, F&P will adjust the scope and fee of this task accordingly.
Data Collection and Existing Conditions
F&P will collect new AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts at the study intersections. Counts will be collected when schools are in session. We will obtain existing signal timing information for all traffic signals from the City of Placentia, City of Fullerton, and Caltrans.
The traffic counts, signal timings, and intersection geometrics will be incorporated into Vistro to identify how the existing intersections operate and estimate LOS.
Forecasting
F&P will complete the following forecasts for this effort:
• Opening Year Forecasts. Represent anticipated opening year for the project, existing counts will be grown by adding traffic from approved development plus an overall growth rate determined by reviewing growth anticipate by OCTAM in this area.
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 47
WorkPlan/Technical Approach
• Project Forecasts. The trip generation estimates prepared in Task 6.4.1 will be used to estimate the number of trips generated by the project. Those trips will be assigned to the street network using a trip distribution based on existing travel patterns in the area and general locations of other land uses in the area. • Future Year Forecasts. OCTAM will be utilized to estimate future traffic growth between baseline 2024 and future year 2045 to be applied to existing counts.
The Project forecasts will be added to the No Project forecasts to represent "With Project" conditions.
Operations Assessment and Deficiency Identification
LOS at the study intersections will be evaluated for the Opening Year conditions with and without the Project.
The results will be reviewed and, if deficiencies are identified, improvements to provide acceptable operations will be identified.
Off -ramp queues will be reported at Caltrans study intersections, and F&P will evaluate if queueing will affect freeway main -line operations.
Documentation
F&P will summarize the results of its assessment in a draft transportation study report. F&P will work with the City on their review, respond to one set of consolidated comments on the draft report, and resubmit as final.
The document will also address key aspects of the project, like site access, on-site circulation, active transportation and public transit analysis, and freeway ramp queuing at Caltrans intersections. For any unsignalized intersections, peak hour signal warrants will be reviewed.

In coordination with PlaceWorks and City staff, request and review existing condition infrastructure data from the City, County of Orange, and OCSD and compile into comprehensive GIS database for future analysis and exhibits. Data request and review includes storm drain network (City and County) and master plan of drainage; sewer system data including sewer master plans, SSMP, and regional studies; water system data including water master plan and pressure zones.
Evaluate the infrastructure systems that support the current SP -5 corridor planning area including drainage, water, and sewer systems. Establish water and sewer demands using City -approved water and sewer generation factors to generate an existing conditions baseline. Coordinate with Golden State Water Company on the status of the existing water supply and distribution system and Placentia Public Works on the existing sewer network. Conduct outreach with Public Works staff to identify any known issues related to capacity, maintenance, or other items such as localized flooding, etc. for the systems serving the SP -5 area. Summarize the findings into a brief memorandum including narratives, tables and exhibits and emphasize any existing condition deficiencies which helps inform future land use decision. This task assumes the City will provide utility data in GIS format.
TASK 6.6.2 PROPOSED CONDITION INFRASTRUCTURE EVALUATION Review the preliminary concepts/alternatives and provide technical feedback on the proposed alternatives from an infrastructure perspective. Based on the selection of the preferred alternative, calculate the maximum buildout potential for the preferred alternative using water and sewer demand estimates consistent with the demands used in the existing condition. Compare maximum buildout conditions against the existing condition and current SP maximum buildout scenarios. Work with the Public Works department to identify sewer impacts and Golden State Water Company to identify any potential water system impacts related to increases in water and sewer demand.
This analysis does not include any hydraulic modeling of the City's water or sewer systems. If required, Fuscoe will provide input data to the City's modeling consultant.

STEVE GUNNELLS
Chief Economist
Steve's career spans the spectrum of community planning and economic development. As PlaceWorks' in-house economist, he plays a role in a great many of the firm's active projects. He focuses on crafting plans, policies, and development projects that are grounded in regional and global economic realities. He helps his clients leverage market forces to achieve their goals. And most importantly, he uses his grasp of economics and real estate markets not only to overcome existing challenges but to help communities create visionary plans that capitalize on the possibilities, not just past trends.
Steve works with communities to bridge the gap between long-range planning policies and economic development—with community organizations and special districts to fund and implement priority projects—and with developers to guide project decision-making and obtain entitlements based on sound economic and market analysis. Steve has also served as the field director for a consulting team on a World Bank project in Yemen, an Economic Development Fellow with the International Economic Development Council, a county planning director in Virginia, and a planning and economic consultant in Michigan and Ohio.

CHAPMAN CORRIDOR REVITALIZATION
Cohesive and Integrated Corridor Development
PlaceWorks will tailor development standards and design guidelines for Chapman Avenue and the immediate neighborhood. By implementing new mixed-use General Plan land use designations, the corridor will allow for an integrated land use pattern that encourages multimodal travel, walkability, mixed-use development, mid -density residential, public/private open space opportunities, and high-quality urban design that incentives redevelopment.
The goal is to encourage a network of cohesive development that revitalizes the corridor, provides a path to the Old Town and Packing House Districts, and anchors the westerly city boundary with the City's Civic Center. PlaceWorks is leading community outreach and preparation of this plan, which is expected to be completed in July.

SPECIFIC PLAN
ision Board - Night 2
In September of 2023, the City of Costa Mesa initiated the preparation of a Specific Plan and Environmental Impact Report to coordinate and facilitate transition of the Fairview Developmental Center (FDC) to a mixed use, mixed income housing community. The FDC is a State-owned property and the State Department of Developmental Services, State Department of General Services, and the City of Costa Mesa will partner on future disposition of the site.
The City's 6th Cycle Housing Element lists the FDC as a housing opportunity site and estimates 2,300 housing units for the location.
Through this process the State will likely sell or lease the FDC site to an owner/developer who would develop the site consistent with the Specific Plan. The FDC Housing Plan is an exciting opportunity for the City to plan for a new neighborhood for Costa Mesa.

BEACH BOULEVARD CORRIDOR
A Specific Plan and EIR for The Heart of West Anaheim
The Beach Boulevard Specific Plan is the result of a focused and comprehensive effort involving the City of Anaheim and the West Anaheim Community. This plan guides future development along a
1.5 -mile stretch of Beach Boulevard between the cities of Buena Park and Stanton. Supported by modern development standards, economic and sustainable community development incentives, and capital improvements, the plan holistically addresses the future of Beach Boulevard—the heart of West Anaheim.
Though designated a "high quality transit corridor," Beach Boulevard still functions primarily for motor vehicles, and nonmotorized modes such as walking and biking are not well integrated. The intent of the plan is to create a new regulatory environment, land use plan, development incentives, and streetscape enhancements to improve conditions along the boulevard and attract economic investment to the area.
The plan's vision and guiding principles were created with the community and reflect the themes that emerged throughout the process. Public involvement included in-person and online components.
The project was approved by a unanimous city council vote in November 2018.

THE EL CAMINO PLAN
Creating a Regional Identity
INIMCONMSCIIHEMAIL 1111M1
MU ItlIALTANT
El Camino Real is the gateway to Atascadero's downtown. The look, feel, and content of this five -mile corridor has a significant bearing on the city's regional identity, local character, and economic health. Although it has great potential to be a vibrant downtown for shopping, dining, and small businesses, it has been slow to recover from the Great Recession.
With high vacancies and nondescript buildings, it currently struggles to compete with nearby Paso Robles and other commercial areas.
PlaceWorks developed the El Camino Plan, whose goal is to identify future land uses and guide urban design concepts with circulation improvements. This project will set a new course for El Camino Real with a combination of strategic public realm investments and incentives for new development. We have provided the city with a custom strategy and set of tools to transform this automobile -oriented, regional corridor into a multimodal economic hub.
Elements of the corridor plan include the formation of new districts; modernization of zoning regulations; dynamic site design concepts for key areas; contemporary architectural style guidelines that also honor local history; streetscape design; and bicycle and pedestrian improvements to address safety concerns. The plan also includes strategies for business attraction, retention, and investment.

HARBOR MIXED-USE TRANSIT CORRIDOR
Creating a Place for People
PlaceWorks helped the City of Santa Ana evaluate zoning designations along transit corridors throughout Santa Ana to expand land use options and establish an urban fabric that takes advantage of transportation improvements. A combination of vacant and underutilized land, bus rapid transit investments, future fixed guideway facilities, and desirable freeway and regional access make Harbor Boulevard an ideal candidate for reinvestment and new development opportunities.
PlaceWorks subsequently developed the Harbor Corridor Plan and laid the foundation for a more livable corridor through form -based zoning that allows new housing and mixed-use development opportunities, the safe integration of cars, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians along a six -lane roadway, and design guidelines the create a stronger identity for the residents and businesses.
PlaceWorks conducted an extensive three-year outreach program consisting of over 20 public meetings, including an idea fair and bus tour, neighborhood meetings, focus groups with property/business owners and developers, a joint workshop with the Circulation Element Update, and three study sessions with the Planning Commission. After adoption, the plan immediately drew interest from multiple developers for new residential and mixed-use projects.

MIDTOWN CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN & EIR
Improving Life on the Boulevard
WILL TN
1 WILLOW
Long Beach Boulevard suffered from a lack of development interests and mobility problems along the corridor and in the surrounding community. Despite years of transit investments and the adoption of a planned development district (PD 29) for mixed-use and high-density development, the corridor continued to falter. The city selected a team, including PlaceWorks, to create the Midtown Specific Plan to stimulate private and public improvements and development in an area without the benefit of redevelopment powers.
The specific plan establishes an equitable balance between mobility modes—car, light rail, bus, bike, and pedestrian—and uses a hybrid form -based / zoning approach, incentive programs, park -once -and -walk strategies, and urban/streetscape design to achieve city and community goals for this key corridor.
The specific plan divides the boulevard into four districts: transit nodes, corridors, medical district, and open space. Density and major mobility improvements are planned for the transit node districts surrounding each of the three Metro Blue Line stations in the area. The plan implements many of the goals, policies, and strategies in the city's general plan mobility element. Most notably, the open space district of the specific plan proposes 11 new parklets, which cap side streets to create mini parks and provide much needed active and passive A-36

open space in the area. Succinct land use districts, clear development standards and design guidelines, and a practical implementation program make this plan a valuable tool for future revitalization of Midtown.
The program -level environmental impact report (EIR) addressed various environmental and technical issues and challenges. For example, a detailed historic resources technical report analyzed potential impacts of demolishing existing buildings, many of which were more than 50 years old. The EIR also addressed and resolved key issues related to construction impacts on air quality and noise emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, transportation and traffic, and utilities and service systems.
The city council unanimously and enthusiastically certified the EIR and adopted the specific plan in May 2016.

The City of Artesia kicked off creation of the Artesia Downtown Specific Plan in May 2023 with a completion goal of early 2025, anticipating the new Southeast Gateway Metro Rail line connecting Artesia with Los Angeles Union Station. Funded by Metro Transit Oriented Communities grants, the Downtown Specific Plan will dictate the scale of future development growth and opportunity in Artesia's downtown district and curate community gathering spaces, enhance pedestrian and bicyclist experience, and create new housing opportunities.
Just under 100 acres in total area, the Specific Plan anticipates between 1,000 and 2,000 new residential units in various urban development types, fulfilling a significant portion of the city's housing element obligations. Additionally, the plan imagines possibilities for a downtown - serving parking structure and civic uses through a P3 public-private partnership.

As Southern California grew during the 1950s and 60s, two corridors— Katella Avenue and Los Alamitos Boulevard—widened to serve the growing automobile traffic. Katella served primarily as a major inter- and intracounty east–west transportation corridor, and Los Alamitos Boulevard provided key north–south connections to and from Interstates 405 and 605. Today, these two corridors combine to produce an intersection that processes up to 123,000 automobiles per day. The corridors continue to serve as auto -oriented arterials and, despite hosting nearly all of the City's commercial development, offer few central nodes or gathering places for the residents, students, and workers of Los Alamitos.
The Katella and Los Alamitos corridors have the bones of great corridors.
Key civic, institutional, and commercial anchors dot the corridors. The rights-of-way are wide enough to accommodate multiple modes of transportation while preserving efficient travel for the large volumes of traffic that use the corridors to access local destinations, adjacent cities, and nearby freeways. Additionally, other agencies are planning transportation investments that could influence the corridor study area.
PlaceWorks helped the City of Los Alamitos analyze its two most significant corridors and identify opportunities to capitalize on the forthcoming BRT routes and stations, stimulate new private investment and redevelopment, and create a new downtown for its residents.
PlaceWorks generated roadway and streetscape designs to narrow the City's primary north–south corridor to create a walkable and multimodal environment that can still efficiently convey auto traffic.

DOWNTOWN BELLFLOWER SPECIFIC PLAN
Creating a Thriving, Experience -Oriented Transit District ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PlaceWorks developed the Downtown Bellflower Station Area Specific Plan to help the City achieve its goals for comprehensive and quality development in the targeted areas and combine the city's goals for the downtown area with the benefits of the West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor. The corridor will connect to a wide range of destinations in Los Angeles and Orange counties and create opportunities for the city to reintroduce Bellflower as a thriving, experience -oriented district.
This groundbreaking specific plan will create synergy between uses along the transit line, encouraging a thriving and well-rounded regional economy. A market analysis revealed that Downtown Bellflower has potential as an experience -oriented destination that prioritizes walkability and comfort for shopping, dining, recreation, and entertainment. By modernizing and consolidating outdated zoning codes and permitted uses, the specific plan will better balance land uses and encourage development throughout the study area, particularly in areas that have struggled to see successful development in the past. Its goals are to attract a range of new development, encourage multimodal transportation, and improve access to employment centers.
PlaceWorks also conducted a parking management study that summarizes existing parking inventory, evaluates long-term trends, and makes recommendations for planning and managing parking for the area.

Chapman Corridor Specific Plan
Placentia, CA, 2022 -Present
Fehr & Peers provided corridor planning support and transportation impact analysis for CEQA purposes for the Chapman Corridor Specific Plan. Fehr & Peers prepared existing and potential roadway improvement cross sections on multiple segments along the Chapman Avenue corridor to evaluate potential changes. Fehr & Peers incorporated land use information, tested multiple future year buildouts, and prepared forecasts with the Orange County Transportation Analysis Model (OCTAM). The turning movement forecasts were tested in Vistro per the City's adopted LOS policy. Fehr & Peers assessed future intersection operations and identified improvements to address LOS deficiencies. Fehr & Peers also prepared a sensitivity analysis to develop a reduced intensity alternative that would result in no LOS deficiencies and would not require transportation infrastructure improvements.

LONG BEACH SOUTHEAST AREA SPECIFIC PLAN
Long Beach, CA I Placeworks for City of Long Beach
This project entailed preparation of land use updates for a 1500 -acre portion of East Long Beach as well as a Specific Plan, a Program EIR and an amendment to the City's Local Coastal Program (LCP) and the Southeast Area Development and Improvement Plan (SEADIP) zoning district. Located south of CSU Long Beach, the area provides marina access to Alamitos Bay and is host to regional bikeway connections along the San Gabriel River, which provides ocean access. SEADIP is the last area of Long Beach that is not entirely built out and is characterized by undeveloped Los Cerritos wetlands parcels in varying degrees of degradation and several large under- utilized properties, particularly along Pacific Coast Hwy. Fuscoe participated in conducting community outreach, following State grant protocols to identify the community's key infrastructure concerns. The overall project encompassed refining and implementing the perspectives of multiple stakeholder groups, including property owners, businesses, residents and wetlands preservationists. This significant undertaking offered a unique opportunity to produce a land use and development code that creatively balanced responsible development with resource preservation. The final Specific Plan included customized land uses and development standards; identified locations for future development potential; expanded multi -modal transportation options; and incorporated proactive strategies to preserve wetlands and measures to maintain valuable natural resources.

ANAHEIM CANYON SPECIFIC
URBAN GREENING PLAN
LOCATION Anaheim, CA 1 CLIENT MIG, Inc. for City of Anaheim The Anaheim Canyon Specific/Urban Greening Plan was prepared to create an economic development strategy for this 3,000 -acre, industrial -zoned district.
Working closely with City staff and award-winning planners, MIG, Inc., Fuscoe investigated area -wide circulation and infrastructure, stormwater management and operational aspects, such as solid waste handling and recycling. This research, along with several stakeholder group outreach sessions, led to the new Specific Plan/Urban Greening Plan, featuring:
Side streets designated and enhanced for bicycles/pedestrians, leaving arterials maximized for vehicles
Creative "neighborhood -level" stormwater management basins, relieving properties of expensive, area consuming compliance BMPs Alternative standards to consider for LID buildout of sites Green Street concepts aimed at stormwater cleansing, enhanced pedestrian experiences and environmental performance
The project was funded by a Sustainable Communities Planning Grant and has become a cornerstone for a city-wide "Urban Greening" plan.

BEACH BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN
LOCATIO Anaheim, CA Placeworks
The Beach Boulevard Specific Plan covers approximately 283 acres along a 1.5 - mile portion of Beach Boulevard -State Route 39 in Anaheim. The Specific Plan is a guide for the revitalization of the Beach Boulevard corridor and outlines future development/redevelopment within the corridor for new residential, retail, community gatherings, open space and other productive uses.
In coordination with Placeworks and the City of Anaheim, Fuscoe Engineering, Inc (FEI) evaluated the existing infrastructure systems, including drainage, water, sewer and regional infiltration BMPs as well as capacity assessments to determine the ability of existing systems to serve the proposed land uses. The analysis involved working closely with several departments within the City, including Public Works for drainage, water quality and sewer, and the Water Department for the water distribution system. FEI identified potential impacts to the proposed land uses and various ways to improve the infrastructure to match future demands on the system. FEI also helped identify sustainable objectives for the Specific Plan, including water conservation and reuse, and helped Placeworks develop a defensible EIR. All of the findings were assimilated into a technical infrastructure report to support the EIR and Specific Plan.
