1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a part of the North of Boronda Future Growth Area, the East Area Specific Plan (EASP or Plan) is expected to satisfy a large portion of the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation ( RHNA) requirements. Th e Plan provides an opportunity to streamline the production of a variety of housing types, address the pressing need for workforce housing, and create a unique walkable, mixed- income, mixed-use community in Salinas.

This will require a comprehensive approach, including meshing land use and urban design c oncepts, crafting meaningful development and design standards, identifying capital improvement and financing program s, and developing effective implementation strategies. The Specific Plan will act as a blueprint for future development of what will become an active and attractive new neighborhood in Salinas .

The EASP will be driven largely by placemaking principles to promote a well -integrated, self -sufficient community with pedestrian -oriented access to a variety of land uses, as well as connection to exi sting surrounding neighborhoods and nearby commercial areas. Through meaningful discussion and engagement with community members and stakeholders, we will develop components of urban form that create a functional and welcoming identity and character for th e plan area, including building height, development intensity, and public improvements and infrastructure such as the street network, transit hubs, open spaces, public facilities, and other focal elements.

The EASP will be created consistently with the Vis ión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update and will provide a bridge between the General Plan and forthcoming individual development projects to provide specific goals, clear policies, and feasible implementation measures in the planning area. We will integrate the General Plan Place Types in to the Specific Plan to ensure that design in the East Area will result in quality places where people want to live, work, and play. We will tailor the regulatory structure for the plan area to facilitate quality development, promote investment, and advance housing production. Our goal is a Specific Plan that is financially feasible, desirable to build, and best addresses the concerns and preferences of the Salinas community.

3. FIRM EXPERIENCE AND

QUALIFICATIONS
This chapter describes the qualifications and relevant experience of the firms on the PlaceWorks team.

PlaceWorks
Specific Plans
PlaceWorks has prepared specific plans that streamline development throughout California and is recognized as a thought leader in state-of-the-art Specific Plan preparation. Not only have we prepared over 250 Specific Plans that cover every region of the state, we published the “Practical Guide to the Specific Plan.” In all cases, PlaceWorks’ approach is to use Specific Plans as a tool to both engender responsible development and to streamline the approval process so that development can proceed efficiently and cost effectively. Specific plans are an invaluable California tool for customizing how future development and public impr ovement address community needs and create thriving places. Our work is for both public - and private-sector clients, which gives us important insight on housing trends, production needs, and other barriers that exist throughout the state.

Urban Design
To successfully create an urban environment requires an in- depth understanding of both land use planning and design. At PlaceWorks, our approach to urban design is enhanced by our expert understanding of transit- oriented development, downtown revitalization, and corridor planning. We integrate cohesive transit and streetscape networks with their surrounding neighborhoods, buildings, open spaces, and public facilities — all while maintaining the unique character of each community.

Community Outreach
Effective public engagement is a cornerstone of our practice—advancing outcomes that reflect and serve our communities. We seamlessly optimize the use of in-person and online tools—including our customizable online engagement platform—to open dialogues, elicit honest and creative responses, and build support from a wide range of stakeholders. Because we want to design plans that are not only practical and implementable but also embraced by the public and decision makers, we employ a variety of engagement tools. We seek input and involvement online, by phone, in person, and through focus groups from diverse voices in the community. B y opening this dialogue and building support, we can help move projects —from the simple to the most challenging—through review and final approval.

CLOVIS GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR (CLOVIS, CA)
Sixteen years after updating the 1993 General Plan, PlaceWorks was selected again by the City of Clovis to undertake a new effort to modernize the city's comprehensive plan. After a period of remarkable growth and development (almost doubling its populatio n to nearly 100,000 residents), the Central Valley city needed to address a handful of key questions: How will Clovis preserve its small town appeal while diversifying its economic base? How will it meet
a growing demand for high- quality services and
deliver them cost -effectively and efficiently?
How will the City and community respond to the
growing regulatory landscape and address air
quality, water supply, and the environmental
impacts of climate change?
Clovis started the General Plan Update just as it
was experiencing a significant municipal budget
deficit, a struggling local economy, and a
reduction in staffing. PlaceWorks responded by

designing and executing a phased approach and developing foundational components to guide the first phase. Key delive rables included the land use plan framework, community profile, and an economic analysis report. These documents supported the second phase of focused area land planning, including replanning two urban villages, major commercial corridors, the historic Old Town, and a new central employment center.

PlaceWorks established central themes to engage the public and help direct goals and policies: Gateway to the Sierra (connecting visually and economically to the recreational opportunities and natural resources afforded by proximity to the mountains); Cyclovis (promoting Clovis as a mecca for bicycle ridership in the valley); and Start Here, Stay Here (providing opportunities for businesses, families, individuals, and businesses to originate, grow, and thrive).

SOUTHEAST GREENWAY VISION, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT,

AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SANTA ROSA, CA)
The Southeast Greenway will be a brand new public open space for the residents of the City of Santa Rosa. It will occupy an undeveloped 57 - acre site, 1.5 -miles-long, within the Southeast neighborhood of Sa nta Rosa. The land, currently owned by Caltrans, was proposed as the site for a freeway in the 1960s, but it was never built. In response to grassroots community organizing, the City of Santa Rosa and its partners (including the Sonoma Land Trust and Sonom a Regional Parks) are planning to acquire the land and transform the corridor into a beautiful, healthy, neighborhood- oriented linear greenspace. PlaceWorks engaged the community and the City and partners in a process to envision and plan for the Greenway. To
solicit meaningful public input, the
process included broad and
intensive community outreach,
with workshops of over 200
participants; a website with an
interactive survey; and door -to-
door canvassing. Community
members, the Planning
Commission, and th e City Council
have agreed that a majority of the
site will be used as green space incorporating community gardens, natural areas, picnic areas, and playgrounds. The site will also provide an important bicycle and pedestrian connection that will enable use rs to connect from downtown Santa Rosa to Spring Lake Regional Park. In addition, new housing will be included for certain portions of the site, to help address the shortage of affordable housing in the region as well as to activate the greenway with additional users. PlaceWorks’ in -house team of graphic and urban designers, landscape architects, and seasoned environmental professionals worked together to articulate a detailed vision for the site and to refine it with community members, City decision makers, and partners. The vision was studied in an EIR created by PlaceWorks .

CONNECTMENLO GENERAL PLAN AND M-2 AREA ZONING

UPDATE (MENLO PARK, CA)
PlaceWorks led a two -year effort with a multidisciplinary team to update the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan, and to create new zoning r egulations and high -quality design standards for the rapidly developing innovation hub around the Facebook headquarters. ConnectMenlo balances new office development with housing and the direct provision of real community amenities , such as a grocery store and pedestrian/bicycle safety improvements in the Belle Haven neighborhood between US Highway 101 and the San Francisco Bay. Other community benefits include alternative transportation to alleviate severe traffic congestion and to reduce vehicle -miles traveled, and affordable and market -rate housing to support both the adjacent neighborhoods and the increasing workforce. ConnectM enlo was achieved on an accelerated schedule to enact solutions in the face of a skyrocketing rate of development. The pr oject included an innovative suite of public participation components, including area tours, a mobile app, educational symposia, and focus groups. The final products, including the new zoning ordinance sections, are easy to understand and administer, and a re well received by Belle Haven residents, and the environmental and development communities as fair and appropriate.

DOWNTOWN LEMON GROVE SPECIFIC PLAN AND FORM-BASED

CODE (LEMON GROVE, CA)
The RICK Team prepared a Specific Plan and form- based code for redeveloping the Downtown Special Treatment Area (STA), a four - quadrant area within historic Downtown Lemon Grove. The Downtown STA includes approximately 10 blocks containing a San Diego Metropolitan Transit System ( MTS) trolley station, City Hall and other municipal buildings, and the original business district oriented around the intersection of Lemon Grove Avenue and Broadway. Unde r direction of a five -member subcommittee and City staff, the project team gathered input at two public workshops. With this input and previous studies, the STA was divided into four districts and several alternative land use plans and development concepts were created for each. The Specific Plan includes design guidelines, custom zoning and development standards, and incentives to encourage property owners to implement their properties in conformance with the Specific Plan. The TOD program included densification of areas around the t rolley station while preserving a walkable, revitalized commercial district. The team updated the Specific Plan to expand the commercial corridor along Broadway and create a TOD within a 20- block area. Focus was on integrating a series of plazas and pedestrian -oriented urban pathways that incorporated public art. Additionally, the project expanded mixed uses, including restaurants, entertainment, office, and residential development.

As part of the update process, Provost & Pritchard reviewed the City’s water supplies, assessed opportunities to increase water supplies and reliability, evaluated existing water use records and developed new usage patterns, developed future water use demands from existing data for land uses within future growth areas, reconciling available water supplies and demands, and used a water model to confirm water system infrastructure. In addition, the project consisted of developing constru ction cost opinions for infrastructure needed to serve existing and future users within the growth areas.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL CAMPUS EXISTING CONDITIONS AND

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS REPORT ( FRESNO COUNTY, CA)
The County of Fresno identified an approximately 2,94 0-acre site for a potential business and industrial campus development. Provost & Pritchard was engaged in summarizing the existing conditions present on-site, identifying conceptual land use plans for the project area, identifying high- level infrastructur e demands, and summarizing key service considerations for the County to evaluate prior to progressing with more formal planning efforts. The focus of the existing conditions and service considerations were on water, wastewater, stormwater, traffic, and add itional dry utilities. Land use considerations, such as proximity to an existing disadvantaged community and key travel and goods movement corridors were also considered.

Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 19

4. SCOPE OF WORK
This chapter describes the scope of services to be completed by the PlaceWorks team for the Salinas EASP.

To facilitate your review of this proposal, we have prepared a concise scope that emphasizes key components of our approach to this project.

We are flexible regarding the proposed scope of work and will work with you to prepare a more detailed scope when we enter into a contract. We also recognize that it may be necessary to alter the scope as the project progresses and would be happy to work with you to ensure the successful completion of the project.

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

Task 1. Project Kick-off, Coordination, and Management
This task will kick off the project and provide management to ensure the project stays on schedule and on budget.

1.1 Kick-off Meeting
The PlaceWorks team, including Rick Engineering, will coordinate a kick -off meeting with City staff to review project goals, roles, communication protocols, project schedule, work plan, data needs, concerns/issues, and the status of current and planned efforts that are relevant to the project . This meeting will establish the project management procedures, including invoicing terms and communication protocols, and data collection approach. We will also confirm t he Specific Plan area boundary (Plan Area) , which we assume will be similar to that shown on page 32 of the request for proposals ( RFP). In advance of this meeting, the PlaceWorks team will prepare a data request document and detailed work program , including a schedule/timeline for the completion of each task , for review by the project team at the meetin g. After the kick-off meeting, PlaceWorks will refine the project scope of work and schedule as needed to reflect desired project goals. We assume this meeting will be held online.

1.2 Project Status Meetings
PlaceWorks will participate in regular status update meetings with City staff to ensure the project remains on task and budget. These meetings will be conducted virtually, via Zoom or by phone, and other team members will attend as needed. Prior to each meeting, we will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate meeting format and identify the necessary participants. PlaceWorks will share a meeting summary with action items following each meeting. We recommend and have scoped for bi -weekly meetings. The length of each meeting will vary depending on the phase and the agenda, but for the purposes of this scope of work, we have assumed that meetings will average one hour each. PlaceWorks will also participate in periodic phone calls with the City’s Project Manager (upon the initiation of either party) on an as-needed basis to address any issues that arise between project team meetings.

Task 2. Preparation of Specific Plan
This task will consist of data collection, analysis, and report writing related to preparation of the Specific Plan.

2.1 Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report
The PlaceWorks team will analyze the existing conditions that will influence the Plan Area and will complete an analysis of opportunities and constraints based on our findings. PlaceWorks will gather relevant background information/documents relating to the development of the EASP. The existing conditions analysis will be summarized in a memorandum that will include the following:
 Base Map: Using GIS data supplied by the City, PlaceWorks will develop an electronic base map for the Plan Area that will serve as the basis of plan development during the project.  Demographics: PlaceWorks will conduct a demographic scan of the Plan Area and will compare local data to Monterey County and the State. We will analyze population and household demographics within the Plan Area and employment trends by sector. The review will include income levels, ethnicity, age levels, educational attainment, employment, transportation preferences, disabilities, and other factors.

 Land Use and Character: PlaceWorks will conduct a land use and character analysis, creating a baseline from which ideas for future development will be based. For this task, PlaceWorks will document the urban design and built form in the Plan Area, including existing and surrounding land uses, commercial and residential focus areas, key nodes, open spaces, cultural institutions, destinations, and General Plan and zoning regulations in the Plan Area. The team will assess best practices for typical lot sizes and street patterns, and desired architectural form in the Plan Area. This subtask includes a site visit to document and photograph the area.
 Transportation Existing Conditions: RICK will evaluate Plan area and surrounding circulation and mobility conditions and needs in accordance with the City’s traffic impact analysis requirements, including modeling and analysis to inform circulation improvements needed to support implementation of the Specific Plan.  Infrastructure Existing Conditions: Provost & Pritchard will characterize the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treatment systems.  Opportunities and Constraints Summary: PlaceWorks will create an illustrated Opportunities and Constraints summary of input from findings learned in the Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report. The summary will include the identification of potential opportunity sites that will be considered for inclusion in a later subtask looking at development opportunities for key sites in the Plan Area. This summary will be provided in an easy-to-access PowerPoint presentation, suitable for uploading to the web page or for presenting in a public workshop.

Findings from the abov ementioned items will be presented in a n Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

Scope of Work
22 CITY OF SALINAS • East Area Specific Plan

2.2 Land Use, Zoning, Circulation
The PlaceWorks team will review all relevant documents pertaining to land use and circulation, including , but not limited to, existing and proposed General Plan Land Use and Circulation Elements, Specific Plans, and the current Zoning Code. PlaceWorks will coordinate with the Gene ral Plan Update City and consultant team to consider and maximize the consistency of the Specific Plan with the Visión Salinas 2040 General Plan Update that is underway . PlaceWorks has a unique advantage assisting City staff with the General Plan Update and having previously worked with the City on the shift from land use designations to Place Types.

PlaceWorks will also review the City’s current Zoning Code and include zoning for the Plan Area that is consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in the General Plan Update .

Based on the Area Profile/Existing C onditions Report, the PlaceWorks team will develop a recommended multimodal transportation network for the Plan Area. The network will be built with an intentional effor t to create safe and comfortable spaces for people of all ages, abilities, and identities, providing competitive transportation options. Rick Engineering will work with the City using data and public engagement to develop a hierarchy of modal priorities fo r each major roadway corridor/corridors in the Plan Area to create a more comfortable and convenient user experience. Balanced streets may require design tradeoffs to ensure comfortable and accessible facilities are provided for all users.

The transportati on elements of the Specific Plan concept alternatives will build on these principles while making special considerations for varying context and unique challenges, including passenger pick -up and drop-off needs, freight loading and deliveries, and pedestri an activity centers. The concepts may feature elements such as complete streets, mobility hubs, scooter/bike parking, sidewalk extensions, midblock and enhanced pedestrian crossings, wayfinding kiosks, traffic -calming elements, and parklets and plazas. The concepts will also consider new transportation circulation patterns, such as converting underutilized alleys into spaces that support multimodal travel and meet stormwater needs and heat island reduction through green infrastructure.

In addition, the tra nsportation improvements may include recommended modifications to bus routes and stops, new shuttles or transit connections (e.g., micro -transit), and stronger connectivity via first -/last-mile strategies. The final multimodal strategy will u se data and en gagement to create a network that supports Salinas’ community vision, place types, and economic development goals for the EASP. Rick Engineering will analyze and present findings in a Multimodal Access and Connectivity memorandum that will be provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

Provost & Pritchard will identify any water supply and distribution and wastewater treatment and conveyance system capacity issues associated with either one or both of the alte rnatives, as applicable .

2.3 Economic and Fiscal
PlaceWorks’ Chief Economist , Steve Gunnells, will prepare an economic and market assessment for the Plan Area, to document and provide guidance on the community’s economic health, challenges, and opportunities. The Economic/Market Demand Analysis will include analysis of real estate market condition s for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses . The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tai lored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area .

Scope of Work
Proposal for Services • PLACEWORKS 23
PlaceWorks will prepare a draft Economic/Market Demand Analysis for review and comment by City staff.

Steve will be available to discuss the draft assessment with City staff and to answer any qu estions. Upon receipt of a single, consolidated set of comments on the d raft assessment, PlaceWorks will make revisions as appropriate and prepare a Final Economic/Market Demand Analysis for incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will also develop an Implementation Plan containing strategies and programs for needed capital improvements. The Financing Strategy will identify f unding resources and financial tools to implement the the Plan actions. The Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy will b e provided for City review as a draft document prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

2.4 Infrastructure
Provost & Pritchard will assess the capacity of and condition of the local water supply and distribution as well as wastewater conveyance and treat ment systems based on the latest available master plan and related documents prepared for the City. Input and guidance will be sought from City public works and engineering representatives, and existing conditions information will inform conclusions regard ing needed facilities .

2.5 Design
PlaceWorks has been in the forefront of understanding how cities are changing in the midst of factors such as a global pandemic and people increasingly shopping online instead of frequenting brick-and-mortar stores.

New growth areas in communities like Salinas may very well be positioned to take advantage of these changes. We will bring our expertise to Salinas to work with the community and decision makers to create places where people want to congregate, see their neighbors, shop, and entertain themselves. This will require rethinking some of the uses of public space, including streets. As part of this task, PlaceWorks design staff will analyze input from our Existing Conditions work and from the community outreach tasks and propose at least two alternatives for the Plan Area. The alternative scenarios will be developed u sing smart growth principles and will provide for a mix of housing types. The Alternatives Analysis will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to place types, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form -based code to create a pedestrian -friendly, attractive place to spend time.

PlaceWorks will present the analysis and findings in an Alternatives Analysis memorandum for City review for incorporation into the Draft Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks will develop a set of objective development and design standards for the Plan Area based on staff guidance and input from community outreach . These standards will be flexible enough to ensure feasibility for new projects, while requiring adherence to concepts that are most valuable to achieve the community’s vison. PlaceWorks will provide a fully illustrated document for City review prior to incorporation into the Specific Plan.

PlaceWorks landscape architecture staff will develop the preferred open space to guide planned public spaces, including corridors, libraries, recreation areas, and greenways. PlaceWorks will also provide standards regarding the provision of publicly accessible open space as part of new private development projects. PlaceWorks will document the proposed improvements and recommendations into a Public Space and Uses memorandum fo r City staff review to be incorporated into the Draft Specific Plan .

Scope of Work
24 CITY OF SALINAS • East Area Specific Plan

2.6 Administrative Draft Specific Plan
PlaceWorks will prepare the Administrative Draft Specific Plan for internal review and comment by City staff.

 Area Profile/Existing Conditions Report: The report will evaluate the existing Plan Area demographics and physical and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, existing transportation, infrastructure, land use, and the number of existing housing units or lack thereof.  Alternative Analysis: At least two alternatives will be developed based on input from the community workshops and meetings of the Technical Advisory Committee through the Area Profile and market study.

The alternatives will examine different future scenarios and will include recommendations regarding density, adjustments to land use categories, modification of development standards, and the incorporation of form-based code.
 Economic/Market Demand Analysis: The analysis will assess real estate market conditions for housing, retail/commercial, and office uses. The focus of the analysis will be on identifying opportunities for inclusive economic development and housing of different types and densities to meet the needs of households across the income spectrum tailored to reflect the unique characteristics of the Plan Area.  Public Space and Uses: The Plan will analyze and evaluate designs for existing and potential public spaces and uses that could serve as the primary community special event gathering area(s).  Multi-modal Access and Connectivity: This plan component will identify and provide recommendations on activities that can be incorporated to ensure the development of complete streets that includes transit, pedestrian, and bicycle networks with well-designed connections to public transportation and other modes of transportation.
 Implementation Plan and Financing Strategy: An implementation section will be included in the Plan to identify actions and responsible entities to carry out the proposed plan. Strategies to finance actions and improvement and general timeframes for completion will be included.  Infrastructure Development Budget: The Plan will assess the current public infrastructure facilities, and services to determine whether deficiencies exist that could impact development. An action plan and cost estimate are to be developed.
 Relationship to the City General Plan: The Plan will include a discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the City’s 2002 General Plan and pending General Plan Update, Visión Salinas 2040. The final Specific Plan shall be consistent with Visión Salinas 2040 goals, policies, and actions.  Zoning: Zoning for the Plan Area should be consistent with the principles of New Urbanism and the Place Types identified in Visión Salinas 2040.

Before embarking on preparation of the Administrative Draft, PlaceWorks will consult with City staff to determine the look and appropriate file format (s) of the report to ensure ease of public use as well as interoperability and editability by City staff.

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.
