To provide one channel for clear communication, Nicole Cobleigh will serve as the program manager and primary point of contact for the City. Nicole is currently managing the preparation of one California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document for the City and has managed the preparation of more than six other CEQA documents for the City, and as such is familiar with City staff, planning documents, and processes. Building upon these relationships, and supported by Dudek’s depth of technical resources, Nicole will provide dedicated management of this contract and continue to build upon existing relationships while forming new relationships at the City to deliver high-quality environmental documentation services.

We Are CEQA Experts. Dudek has prepared over 3,800 CEQA/National Environmental Policy Act documents, none of which have been successfully overturned in court. Our team of experienced project managers has managed multiple as-needed environmental consulting contracts for agencies throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California. We have proven that we prioritize responsiveness to our clients’ needs and requests, repeatedly delivering high-quality products on time and within budget. Because of our extensive work in the City and Los Angeles County, we are exceedingly familiar with the diverse community makeup, social and cultural issues, infrastructure, and land use environments, which will facilitate the efficient and successful delivery of environmental impact reports and other environmental documents. We know the local environmental resources and agency policies for resource management, development, impact assessment, and mitigation.

ON-CALL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
Client: City of Alhambra
Contract Dates: 2016–Ongoing
Under an on-call environmental services contract, Dudek personnel have produced EIRs and MNDs for development projects in the City of Alhambra (City), including the following:

The Villages at the Alhambra EIR Peer Review: Dudek provided peer review services to the City for The Villages at the Alhambra Project. The proposed project would have covered portions of a 38.38-acre site bounded by Fremont Avenue (west), Mission Road (south), Date Avenue (east), and Orange Street (north) in Alhambra. The project would have retained 902,001 square feet of existing office space and would have repurposed 10,145 square feet of existing office space as Residential Amenity space for the newly proposed South Plan Area. Also, the project would have retained a 50,000-square-foot LA Fitness health club but would have replaced existing surface parking areas, warehouse/storage/maintenance buildings, and a vacant office building with 516 new, for-sale, residential dwelling units in 5-story stacked flat and townhome configurations; 545 new rental apartments in 5- story stacked flat configurations; and 4,347 total parking spaces to accommodate all new uses. The project was extremely controversial and was heard before the planning commission and city council over the period of 1 year.

Ultimately, the City chose to deny the project. Key issues of concern were related to hazards from past uses at the site and traffic congestion.

Monterey Bay Square MND Peer Review: Dudek provided peer review services to the City for the Monterey Bay Square IS/MND. The project involves demolition of an existing 2-story commercial building, surface parking lot, on-site landscaping, and other site improvements to construct a 5-story, 119,370-square-foot mixed-use building with 62 condominiums, 16,918 square feet of restaurant space, and 3,650 square feet of retail/service space on the southern half of the site. An attached six-level aboveground parking structure will be located on the northern half of the site. A single level of subterranean parking with 157 parking spaces will be provided for the full length of the site for project residents only and will extend underneath the full length of the mixed-use building and the parking structure.
1450 AR TESIA SPECIFIC PLAN EIR
Client: City of Gardena
Contract Dates: 2021 – 2025
Dudek personnel managed the preparation of the EIR for this project which involved compliance with the 1450 Artesia Specific Plan as well as construction and operation of a mixed-use development with a total building area of 268,000 square feet and an approximate height of 75 feet. The development will include a self-storage use (3 levels totaling 186,000 gross square feet [GSF] with 1,480 storage units over the bottom floor warehouse/distribution use and leasing office), an industrial warehouse/distribution use (1 level totaling 72,000 GSF with 10 loading docks), and an office/retail use (a mezzanine totaling 10,000 GSF). Additionally, associated facilities and improvements included perimeter fencing, on-site and perimeter landscaping, lighting, exterior sidewalks, and pavement for on-site parking spaces. Under the Specific Plan, the parking lot area will be used periodically for City-sponsored outdoor events outside of the project’s warehouse/distribution component operating hours (“special events”). Key project issues were the fact that the project site is actively undergoing remediation and would have long-term land use restrictions on the site.

WEST CAMPUS UPPER PLATEAU WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION CENTER EIR Client: March Joint Powers Authority
Contract Dates: 2021 - Ongoing
The project requests a General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, Zone Change, Tentative Parcel Map, two Plot Plans, and a Development Agreement to redevelop the former munitions bunkers and adjacent land from the March Air Reserve Base. The project consists of a Specific Plan Area, including a Campus Development with a buildout scenario with 10 business park parcels, 6 mixed use parcels, 3 industrial parcels, 2 public facility parcels, and 3 open space parcels. These parcels would be created, designated, and graded. Buildings B and C would be constructed on two of the industrial parcels. The remaining parcels would be developed with square footages as allowed under the Specific Plan. A proposed park component of the project, consisting of a 60.28- acre park west of the Barton Street extension, is included under the Specific Plan buildout scenario. Infrastructure improvements would include the installation of utility and roadway networks connecting to and throughout the Specific Plan Area, the construction of a new sewer lift station, the construction of a new electrical substation, and the construction of a new 0.5-million-gallon reclaimed water tank. A Conservation Easement of approximately 445.43 acres of undisturbed land surrounding the Specific Plan Area would be placed under a conservation easement, consistent with prior determinations made as part of a prior Settlement Agreement. Dudek managed the preparation of the EIR, including a Final EIR effort that included responses to over 1,300 comment letters. Key project issues included the controversial nature of this project, the introduction of additional warehouses with air quality and traffic impacts, and loss of open space.

HOUSING INCENTIVE OVERLAY DISTRICT EIR
Client: City of Fullerton
Contract Dates: 2020–2025
To address housing affordability and scarcity, the City of Fullerton is utilizing California’s Senate Bill 2 grant funds to streamline housing production in the City. Dudek is currently developing a housing incentive overlay zone (HIOZ) for select parcels with underlying commercial and industrial zoning designations. The HIOZ is one of multiple programs identified in the City of Fullerton’s Housing Element update and is intended to incentivize the development of additional housing, especially affordable housing, by expanding its allowability and reducing regulatory burdens. Dudek’s scope of work entails testing the physical and financial feasibility of housing on these parcels and is updating the City’s existing multifamily and mixed-use development standards to be objective and streamlined for both Citywide and HIOZ use.

The overlay zone will rely on a hybridized approach to development standards by incorporating the easy-to- understand format of Euclidian zoning and layering in the design aspirations of a form-based code. Integral to this project is a capacity-building effort that aims to educate and inform a group of Fullerton stakeholders, the “Housing Champions,” of the economic and regulatory landscape of housing policy. In addition, Dudek is preparing the EIR and supporting technical studies for the overlay zone.
