PUBLIC COMMENT

Chair Rosenbluth invited public comment.

Martin McLeod noted that there is too much wiggle room in the reviews and asked who gets to initiate the supplemental EIR reviews and how do we stipulate what has to be followed

David Shearer, Executive Director of Claremont Heritage, noted that ministerial actions are exempt from CEQA review, using the example of demolition that was previously approved through a Master Plan and then 10 plus years later the approved demolition is now removing a historical building. He asked how things like this could be addressed. Mr. Shearer also stated that being consistent with EIR’s and following the General Plan is important, and the General Plan is referred to as the “Constitution for future development” by the State Supreme Court. Lastly, Mr. Shearer asked the Commission what happens when they receive conflicting information from two professionals.

Jacob Patterson noted the importance of defining a project, and having the distinction of what is and is not a part of a project. Mr. Patterson suggested that the Commissions form an ad-hoc committee to create a customized checklist for the local CEQA guidelines. Additionally, Mr. Patterson noted that it is important to follow the MMRP, but asked what happens when it is not followed. Lastly, Mr. Patterson asked how the Commission can address EIR drafts that they do not wholly agree with.

Karen Rosenthal stated historical preservation ordinance is needed, as there are tract homes that will soon be considered historical homes in Claremont.

Planning and Architectural Commission Special Meeting Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 2

Mary Stoddard would like to see adjustments made to the CEQA process to include the Architectural Commission more instead of leaving them boxed in with limited ability to make revisions. She also noted that the environmental documents need to be more objective as they seem to be more of a promotion for the project. Ms. Stoddard also asked who gives the Commissions the alternative options and who chooses the outside experts as both seem to always favor the applicant.

There were no other requests to speak.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

3. Architectural and Site Plan Review, for The Design of Temporary Construction Fencing To Mitigate Construction-Related Visual Impacts of Projects Included in The Pomona College 2015 Campus Master Plan, Including The Pomona College Museum of Art and Renwick House Relocation. – Applicant – Pomona College

Commissioner Schoeman recused himself from the item due to a conflict of interest, and left the dais.

Principal Planner Chris Veirs gave a PowerPoint presentation regarding the temporary construction fencing to mitigate construction related visual impacts for projects included in the Pomona College 2015 Campus Master Plan.

Chair Manifold asked staff if the EIR is associated with the Pomona College Master Plan or the Pomona College Museum of Art and if other projects are subject to this level of review. Principal Planner Veirs informed Chair Manifold that Commission review of this fencing is required by the EIR associated with the Pomona College Master Plan, and that this review is intended to apply to all projects associated with the Master Plan. He also noted that construction fencing is typically reviewed by staff at the time building permits are issued.

Commissioner Wheeler asked staff if additional options for the bases on the fencing could be presented to the Commission and/or staff to avoid potential trip hazards on sidewalks. Principal Planner Veirs noted that the proposed sandbags are brightly colored in order to prevent trip hazards, and that an alternative option could be a metal plate when necessary.

Commissioner Perry asked if staff would be able to deem parts of the fence as inadequate, and require replacement and/or additional fencing as necessary. Principal Planner Veirs indicated that staff will be able to require fencing and green screens to be replaced and/or adjusted as necessary.

Commissioner Worley noted sound mitigation is very important and he did not see any discussion of it in the proposed project. Principle Planner Veirs indicated that staff is aware of the sound mitigation need and that it had been analyzed in the EIR. He noted that tonight’s review is specifically for the temporary visual impacts of construction.

Bob Robinson, with Pomona College noted that this is the same fencing used on previous projects, and that Pomona College is very flexible with providing any measures to mitigate visual and sound measures for all projects under the Master Plan. He assured the Commission that Pomona College would be willing to work with staff if conditions arise where the proposed fencing is inadequate, including sound baffling.

Jacob Patterson agrees with the Commissioners, believing that this is an odd item for the Commission to review. He suggested that the mitigation measure be revised to allow for staff to address construction fencing for all projects within the Master Plan. Mr. Patterson also noted that the mitigation measure is much broader than temporary impacts and should have been addressed in the design review, but was failed to be reviewed at that time. In addition, he indicated that sound Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 3 of 10 impacts were acknowledged as one of the potentially significant, yet unavoidable impacts in the EIR and was left un-mitigated within the EIR. He believes it should be addressed with future projects.

Susan Schenk indicated that it can take more than two years for these two projects to be completed, and that she hopes that the Commission can address the visual impacts in a different way than the green screen fencing that has been proposed.

David Shearer, Executive Director of Claremont Heritage stated that this is a unique situation. He also noted the following questions for the Commission to think of: was this approval entered because of the high standards; why did this project warrant this level of review; how long is the proposed construction supposed to be; and were there other options considered. Lastly, Mr. Shearer noted that these projects are located in the historic Village which is an important area.

Martin McLeod noted that the green color makes sense and it does hide things. He also stated that the mitigation of sound is important, and he trusts staff to know if they need baffles etc. Mr. McLeod indicated that he is uncomfortable with the Commission approving this resolution for the next 15+ years, and would like to see some kind of additional review down the line. Lastly, he noted that he is more concerned with the noise mitigation than the visual impacts.

Principal Planner Veirs responded to several of the public comments.

Commissioner Wheeler asked if staff is legally able to require and review temporary construction fencing. Principal Planner Veirs noted that staff currently does require fencing, and reviews its location prior to installation and then monitors it during construction for all major construction projects. He noted that staff is comfortable with approving this proposal as a standard for all projects under that Master Plan and believes that approving it in this manner is more reasonable so the Commission does not have to review similar projects in the future. In addition, Principal Planner Veirs indicated that as future projects move forward under the Master Plan, staff would explicitly discuss the perimeter fencing during the Commission’s review of those projects so that modifications to the screening and/or fencing that are deemed necessary can be required prior to project-specific approval.

Mr. Robinson informed the Commission that the projected construction time frame for the Renwick House relocation is 4 months and 16 to 18 months for the PCMA and that fencing would be in place for the full extent of construction for each project. In addition, he noted that this type of fencing has been utilized in the Village for prior construction projects.

Commissioner Wheeler indicated that people are wondering why this item is coming before the Commission and stated that she would prefer for future temporary fencing be approved by staff.

Commissioner Perry believes that this kind of fencing is conventional to mitigate the visual impacts. He also noted that staff has confirmed that they will be able to address fencing that is inadequate as needed. Lastly, Commissioner Perry indicated that, with the options given, the fencing is the appropriate path to take.

Commissioner Worley stated that this type of fencing is more for security and public safety, and strongly recommends that sound baffles be utilized on the fencing as an effort to mitigate sound. In Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 4 of 10 addition, Commissioner Worley suggested that the applicant use a fabric with an attractive printed pattern on the fencing. He noted that the 6 foot height is not adequate for the entire project as there is a significant grade difference, and believes that having 8 foot tall fencing for the southern half of the project would be a better solution.

Commissioner Messner echoed the previous comments of the Commissioners. She also suggested that the Commission add language to the resolution to allow for staff to approve different heights of fencing as needed so it does not have to come back to the Commission for every project.

Chair Manifold also echoed the previous comments of the Commissioners and does not think that this should have been reviewed by the Commission.

Chair Manifold made a motion to approve the resolution per staff recommendation, seconded by Commissioner Wheeler, and carried on the following vote:

AYES: Commissioners Manifold, Messner, Perry, Schoeman, Wheeler, and Worley NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioners Schoeman and Neiuber

Commissioner Schoeman returned to the dais.

4. Continued Architectural and Site Plan Review #16-A10, Review of First- and Second-story Additions to the Existing Single-story Historic Residence located at 255 West Seventh Street - Applicant- Jesse & Tina Rodriguez

Assistant Planner Nikola Hlady presented a PowerPoint presentation on the continued architectural and site plan review #16-A10, for proposed first- and second-story additions to the existing single- story historic residence located at 255 West Seventh Street.

Commissioner Schoeman asked if the new roof will have a double slope and noted that he will have further questions for the project architect about that slope. Assistant Planner Hlady informed him that the roof will have a double slope; one that has a flatter slope near the eave.

Jesse and Tina Rodriguez, the project applicant, informed the Commission that the revisions that they had requested were relatively simple; however, they spent a lot of time and additional money to completely reconsider the design in order to make all parties involved in this project, including the neighbors happy.

John Bohn, President of John Bohn Associates, noted that one of the first things he did was contact Claremont Heritage for additional information regarding the historic nature of the home. He then described several revisions that had been made to the project including, involving the neighbor to the east to address the privacy concerns, having an arborist provide recommendations for ensuring the safety of the existing Oak tree and options for potential replacements should the tree not survive the construction, and having a detailed analysis done on the existing roof of the house. Mr. Bohn also presented the Commission with a color and materials board.

Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 5 of 10

Commissioner Schoeman asked Mr. Bohn to explain the differences in the pitches of the roofs. Mr. Bohn informed the Commissioners that the original proposal has proportions that matched the original bungalow which had a point on the roof, and the revised proposal creates a short ridge on the addition which is designed to match the roof line on the historic front portion of the home.

Commissioner Worley asked Mr. Bohn to describe how they are going to float the stone foundation over the roots of the Oak tree. Mr. Bohn indicated that the foundation will be excavated by hand and per the recommendations of the arborist; the new foundation could be installed as piers, or have holes built into the foundation to provide space for existing roots with room for any anticipated future root growth for the tree.

Commissioner Perry noted that the Oak tree has a very large canopy, which is level with the second level floor and will visually affect the second floor windows. Commissioner Perry asked Mr. Bohn if he anticipated the trimming and downsizing of the tree to accommodate the addition. Mr. Bohn indicated that the set back of the second floor has been carefully designed to allow for minimal trimming of the tree.

Commissioner Wheeler noted that reducing the square footage really improves the project for the neighbors and that the revised plans show an improved the master bath. She indicated that the windows in the kitchen are all different, and asked why they did not match the rest of the house. Mr. Bohn indicated that in order to get light and air into the kitchen as well as for privacy, the different windows were required. He also noted that 2/3s of the windows that were on the front, and he believes that the windows match the rear elevation. Lastly, he stated that this is a more contemporary way of aligning three windows and was not necessarily meant to match the more traditional sections of the house.

Commissioner Wheeler asked Mr. Bohn how the round front porch matches the historic home. Mr. Bohn indicated that the finish of the panels of the porch match the existing. He also noted that the idea is to have the existing logic of a flat portion of the wooden grill and a bench on the porch to be continued.

Commissioner Wheeler stated that the revised spacing on the porch rafters is great. She asked Mr. Bohn to confirm how dark the chimney will be. Mr. Bohn indicated that the chimney will be dark brown stucco that is meant to harmonize with the dark brown stain color of the trim.

Commissioner Wheeler asked if there was a landscape plan for the project. Principal Planner Veirs noted that the landscape plan had been deferred at the applicant’s request until the architecture and site plan of the project was approved. He noted that this was common. Commissioner Wheeler indicated that there are a lot of plants shown on the current plans, and asked if that is what they have planned for the final landscape design. Mr. Bohn indicated that the intent was for the windows to be screened by plants, to address privacy concerns with the neighbors. Commissioner Wheeler asked if the plants along the front of the house will be a hedge. Mr. Bohn noted that he did not know what kind of plant this will be, but it was intended to screen the front bedroom.

Commissioner Wheeler asked why the windows in the kitchen of the east elevation have a different head height over the windows above the sink. Mr. Bohn indicated that there are upper cabinets in the kitchen that needed to be accommodated. Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 6 of 10

Constance Cassinelli thanked the applicants for involving her and incorporating her requests. She informed the Commission that the eaves of her home and the new addition would only have about four feet between them. She then noted that she is very concerned about maintaining light and air for her property and asked that any new fence have off-set planks to allow air flow between the properties.

Martin McLeod noted that he bought in the Village because he liked a certain experience. He indicated that the designs from the street are fine; however the back of the home is too modern. The back of the home is contemporary and modernistic, which will affect the future buyers of the home. He believes that land use laws protect the existing property owners and the neighborhood. Mr. McLeod objects to the rear of the home. In addition, he indicated that a historic neighborhood should keep the original setbacks. Lastly, he applauds the work the applicant has done to address the neighbors’ concerns, and encourages the owners to keep the historical house historical.

Jacob Patterson noted that Martin’s comments relate to the findings in the resolution. He believes there are issues with the findings in the draft resolution that was presented to the Commission tonight. Mr. Patterson also indicated that when someone buys into the Historic District they should expect to have restrictions on what can be done to the property versus buying in a different neighborhood. Lastly, he asked if the applicant would be required to alter the existing garage to remove the granny unit, which is currently not allowed.

Kevin Quinn indicated that there was a statement made by the Commission, asking what the public likes to see. He noted that he respects the opinions of his neighbors, because they have a certain preference. However, he thinks that the front of the house looks good and he likes the back of the home, noting that it is interesting and brings interest to the neighborhood.

Jeff DesCombes stated that his previous comments were not personally against the applicants. He made comments in regards to what he knows about the neighborhood and what has happened in the past. Mr. DesCombes gave the Commission public comment at the dais. He also noted some of the historical aspects of the home that were not carried over to the proposed set of plans, and asked the Commission to ensure that certain aspects were addressed in the new plans.

Eugenia Nieto stated that she doesn’t think that the back of the house should be a concern of the neighbors. She noted that through time the owners of each property add their own style to each home; and in another 100 years someone else will find this house and love it with the changes made. Lastly, she indicated that everyone has their own style and that their rights to design the back of the house should be respected.

Casey Gibbson spoke positively about the applicants.

Commissioner Worley indicated that he is relatively pleased with the revised set of plans. He noted that the back of the house is not his purview; however, the presentation to the street is what is important.

Commissioner Perry is in agreement with Commissioner Worley’s comments with the revised set of plans and complying with the City’s requirements. He acknowledged the response to concerns Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 7 of 10 and revision requests. Lastly, he encourages additional thought to the historic character preservation in the front of the home.

Commissioner Wheeler read review criteria and noted that the Commission has the responsibility to review all sides of the project including the back of the home. She believes that the kitchen windows should match the rest of the house, and that the eve detail should match the existing. Lastly, Commissioner Wheeler indicated that she is concerned with the color of the chimney, and noted that the front porch does not look historic.

Commissioner Schoeman agrees with Commissioner Wheeler’s comments to review the rear of the home. He noted that there is consistency in the design between the existing home and the addition, stating that it feels like one home instead of two. Commissioner Schoeman is impressed with the seriousness that the applicant has taken the Commission’s revision suggestions. In addition, he noted that there are codes to protect the historic neighborhoods, and right now this project is consistent with that code. His biggest concern is with the historical details of the home, and asks that special attention be paid to those details. Lastly, he indicated that he is not convinced that the applicant will be able to run a double hip on the eastern plane of the addition’s roof, thinking that it will result in a different roof than presented.

Commissioner Messner noted that her only concern was the neighbor’s access to light and air, which was addressed by the applicant. She also asked the Commission to pay attention to Section C in the resolution regarding the chimney height.

Mr. Bohn informed the Commission that the additional chimney height was a result of complying with the building code.

Commissioner Manifold thanked the applicant for responding to a lot of the issues raised from the first review. He noted that his only disappointment is the setback and distance between the homes. Chair Manifold indicated that historic reviews often come with tension due to a conflict between historic design and how people live today. He believes that review criteria number 5 is generally intended to ensure that new tract developments do not have detailed fronts but plain side and rear elevations. Lastly, he agrees with some of the public comments made tonight, indicating that this is not our house, it is the Rodriguez’s house.

Commissioner Schoeman indicated that the back of the home is consistent with the front of the house because all of the materials are used all the way across, the type of windows is consistent, and the roof line is reminiscent of the existing roof line. He believes that this is a continuation of the spirit of the house, and will feel like one house.

Commissioner Wheeler made a motion to approve the project per the staff recommendation with the added conditions that the eaves match and the kitchen windows match. The motion died due to a lack of a second.

Commissioner Schoeman asked staff how he could ensure that the roof pitches meet the intent of what is approved today in the resolution. Principal Planner Veirs informed Commissioner Schoeman that the Commission can appoint a sub-committee to review the final plans and any revisions to the roof, or this review could be delegated to staff.

Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 8 of 10

Commissioner Schoeman made a motion to approve the resolution per the staff recommendation with the added conditions that a fascia and stucco bottom be added to the eaves along the south and east elevations of the addition; that special attention be paid to the double-hip of the roofs when construction documents are submitted in order to ensure this existing architectural feature is accurately replicated for the addition; and approved the increased height of the chimney as shown on the project plans, seconded by Commissioner Wheeler, and carried on the following vote:

AYES: Commissioners Manifold, Messner, Perry, Schoeman, Wheeler, and Worley NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Neiuber

Chair Manifold called for recess at 9:25 p.m.

Chair Manifold called the meeting back to order at 9:31 p.m.

Chair Manifold appointed Commissioners Schoeman and Worley to a sub-committee in the event that further review of the applicant’s roof line is required.

ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS

Commissioner Wheeler volunteered to revise the checklist to be shorter and allow space for notes. Commissioner Perry also volunteered to give landscape input for the checklist. Lastly, Commissioner Schoeman volunteered to provide the Commissioner with a proposal to grant a project with a 25 year award of excellence for the 2017 AC Awards.

The Commission asked staff to add Roberts Pavillion at CMC, and the Western Christian School upgrades to the nomination list.

REPORTS

1. Mayor/Chair Meeting

None

2. Commissioner Comments

Commissioner Perry expressed concerns with the Architectural Commission’s lack of involvement in EIR approvals. He suggested a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to communicate aspects of EIRs, noting that the Planning Commission does not necessarily observe all aspects of the project when reviewing them. Commissioner Perry also indicated that he would like to help Architectural Commission Minutes March 29, 2017 Page 9 of 10 improve the EIR review and approval process as much as possible which included possibly being involved in the selection of consultants for projects.

Principle Planner Veirs informed the Commission that EIR consultants are selected by the City not applicants. Rincon Consultants Inc., the consultant for the Pomona College Master Plan, which included the Pomona College Museum of Art was hired by the City through an RFP process for general environmental review services a couple of years before the Master Plan was submitted. He also noted that City Council had recently approved a new consultant to be used for a new specific plan project. He then noted that the process of staff selecting consultants is relatively common. He noted that he would be presenting a description of the process used to hire the EIR consultant for the Village South Specific Plan at an upcoming meeting so that the Commission can have a better understanding of the process.

Commissioner Schoeman noted that the Planning Commission typically approves subdivisions and that the Planning Commission has been approving tract maps and EIRs at the same time. He believes that the Planning Commission lacks a critical eye, and the point of view from the Architectural Commission.

Commissioner Worley indicated that the Commissioner handbook says that there can be joint meetings between Commissions when needed. Commissioner Schoeman noted that joint meetings are typically initiated by staff. Commissioner Schoeman also indicated that he relies heavily on staff for their review of mitigation measures etc., in the EIRs because that is their job and that he was not eager to take on this additional work.

Commissioner Perry noted that the City does not have a landscape architect on staff, and believes that not for the lack of effort; but that level of review is just not represented in the EIRs.

Principle Planner Veirs noted that this sort of proactive attention to potential impacts should be identified during a “scoping session”, which is held at the outset of the EIR process.

Chair Manifold asked staff about the new consultant and upcoming EIR project. Principal Planner Veirs indicated that a request for proposals was sent out, and staff received 15 proposals for the Village South Specific Plan.

Commissioner Messner asked staff when the Commissions get invited to the scoping meeting. Principle Planner Veirs noted that the Commissions receive meeting invitations at the same time as the public. Commissioner Messner asked if it is possible for the Commission to receive the EIR documents at the time of circulation. Principle Planner Veirs indicated that this is generally the case; however, the Commission is typically only asked to review items of the EIR that related to it purview.

Commissioner Perry noted that the Architectural Commission review process has been initiated before, and believes that the current Architectural Commission would be able to assist in strengthening the standards for future EIRs in regard to the City itself. Principal Planner Veirs noted that the Commission can appoint Commissioners to be on a possible Ad-hoc committee to create specific thresholds to the local CEQA Guidelines to ensure that the checklist is tailored it to the City’s needs.

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-04

A RESOLUTION OF THE ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLAREMONT APPROVING ARCHITECTURAL AND SITE PLAN REVIEW #16-A10, FOR A TWO-STORY ADDITION TO THE EXISTING SINGLE-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 255 WEST SEVENTH STREET. APPLICANT – JESSIE AND TINA RODRIGUEZ

Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 2 of 12

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CLAREMONT ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:

Section A. The Architectural Commission has determined that the proposal is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Sections 15301(e), in that the project entails an addition to an existing structure that will not result in an increase of more than 10,000 square feet in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan and one that is not environmentally sensitive. Further, the proposed project would not result in a substantial adverse change to the historic structure, which is listed on the Register of Structures of Historic and Architectural Merit of the City of Claremont (Register). While the property is listed on the Register, the information provided in the Register does not show that the existing home serves as a notable example of a historically significant architectural style, nor does it reveal that the home was designed by an architect or designer of local or regional note. Further, the home is not associated with the lives individuals who are significant to local or regional history nor any events that made significant contributions to local or regional history. Further, the proposed project would not diminish the ability of the structure to continue to convey the existing structure’s historic character, as the proposed project would leave the existing structure’s front façade as it currently exists. The proposed additions employ a design and materials that match those found on the historic structure such as its wooden multi-light windows, wood lap siding and comp shingle roof, all of which are noted in the in the Register’s information form for the property. As such, the CEQA exception pertaining to historic resources does not apply in this case. Therefore, no further environmental review is necessary.

Section B. The Architectural Commission finds that the review criteria of Section 16.300.060.A of the Claremont Municipal Code can be met in regard to the above-described project as follows:

1. Conformity with Development Standards - The proposed addition is in conformity with all development standards for the Historic Claremont (HC) zoning district as follows: a. Setbacks: The proposed project will meet all setback requirements as follows: i. Front Setback: The existing home complies with the front setback requirement of 20-feet and the proposed additions maintain greater front setback distances than those of existing structure. ii. Side Setbacks: The proposed project maintains the existing side setback distance of 12-feet along the western property line. Along the eastern property line, the proposed additions comply with the 5-foot setback requirement, proposing a setback distance of 5’-6”. iii. Rear Setback: The proposed project complies with the rear setback requirement of 5-feet as it maintains a rear setback distance of 49-feet. b. Lot Coverage: The proposed lot coverage of 34.7% complies with the maximum permitted lot coverage of 35% in the HC zoning district. c. Floor Area: The proposed total floor area of 3,460 square feet is under the maximum permitted floor area of 3,620 square feet for subject property. d. Parking: The existing two car garage on the property will be retained. Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 3 of 12

e. Building Height: The maximum height of the second story addition is 24’-0” as measured from the average grade to midpoint between the roof’s ridge and its eaves. The maximum height for single-family residential structures in the HC zoning district is 25’-0”. The chimney has a maximum height of 29’-0”. Pursuant to CMC Section 16.130.060.B.1.b, the Architectural Commission may approve architectural elements such as chimneys that exceed maximum height limits if the Commission finds that such elements are compatible with surrounding development and will not create a visually offensive appearance when viewed from the street or from neighboring properties. 2. General Plan Consistency - The proposed addition is consistent with the following goals/policies of the Claremont General Plan: a. Promote neighborhood identity and conservation of individual neighborhood character (Policy 2-1.3); in that the proposed additions build upon and are consistent with the unique historic character of the individual structure located on the subject property and character historic neighborhood in which it is located. The proposed additions are consistent with surrounding structures in terms of both design and scale, employ high quality materials that match those found on the existing structure and have an appearance that contributes to, rather than detracts from, the Seventh Street streetscape. b. Insist on excellence in architectural design of new construction in the City. (Policy 2-5.1); in that proposed additions, which constitute a Substantial Remodel, and as such must be considered new construction, are creatively designed in a manner that both respects, but also departs from the architectural style of the historic bungalow structure. Additionally, the applicant has proposed using high quality materials and finishes that match the existing structure where visible from the public right-of-way. The applicant has also proposed using high quality materials, along with creative design approaches to the portions of the additions that deviate from the historic design of the existing home. c. Promote community identity and local history by encouraging context-sensitive design and development, (Goal 2-11); in that the proposed project would allow the existing 1908 residential structure to continue to convey its historic significance while adding the floor area desired by the applicant in a manner that complies with the development standards applicable to the property. Additionally, the proposed second-story addition is stepped back over 56-feet from the front property line, diminishing the appearance of excessive massing when viewed from the street. Given that a number of both single- and two-story homes exist on both sides of Seventh Street between Yale and Harvard Avenues, the proposed addition is sensitive to the context of the historic neighborhood. In revising the proposal, the applicant has stepped the second- story addition an additional 6-feet, resulting in a total setback of 11’-6” from the eastern property line for the second story. Setting the second story further away from the eastern property than was originally proposed shows additional sensitivity to the surrounding context, and the proximity of the neighbor’s

existing home to the proposed addition in particular. d. Continue to encourage pride in the quality and character of historic areas. (Policy 2-14.3); in that the additions to the historic structure employ a creative Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 4 of 12

design and high-quality materials that are consistent with both the quality and character of the subject property and the Historic Claremont neighborhood as a whole. The applicant has proposed additions that are respectful of the historic fabric of the structure and Seventh Street streetscape and will add to their historic character. e. Continue to support retention and/or adaptive reuse of existing residential, commercial and industrial buildings where possible, particularly structures listed on the Register of Structures of Historical and Architectural Merit of the City of Claremont (Policy 2-14.5); in that the proposed project would retain, in large part, a historic single-family residential structure that is listed on the City’s Register of Structures of Historical and Architectural Merit while incorporating additions to the north and east sides of the existing square-shaped structure that are appropriate for historic property.

3. Compatibility of Form with Surrounding Development – The proposed first- and second-story additions will not unduly interfere, nor visually dominate the existing development pattern of the surrounding Historic Claremont area, which features a mix of both single-story and two-story residential structures. The proposed additions to the humble 1,200 square foot home are all proposed to be further away from the front property line than the existing structure, with the second-story addition stepped back even further, resulting in a total front setback distance of over 56-feet. As such, the proposed project would not have a visually imposing presence on the Seventh Street streetscape. Additionally, the proposed height of the second-story addition complies with the maximum allowable height for the HC zone and is compatible with the existing surrounding development. 4. Compatibility of Quality with Surrounding Development – The proposed project features a well-considered design that employs high-quality materials that reflect the notable historic character of the Historic Claremont district. The proposed single- hung and divided windows, lap wood siding, dimensional composition roofing shingles and wood front porch details match those found on the existing historic structure, and extend the historic architectural character of the existing structure to the portions of the additions that are visible from the public right-of-way. Resubmitted plans depict how key historic architectural details such as wood windows, the slope changes or “kicks” found near the roof’s eaves and at the bottom of the wood lap siding would be replicated throughout the addition. For the portions of the addition that are not visible from the public right-of-way, the applicant has also proposed high-quality materials that are compatible with the existing structure and unique contemporary design features that take inspiration from the historic home. As such, the proposed project has a level of quality that is compatible with surrounding development in the HC zoning district. 5. Internal Consistency of Design – While the different building elevations feature differing design approaches, with the historically consistent elevations facing the public right-of-way and the creative contemporary-style additions facing the private back yard, all elevations of the proposed home additions are architecturally treated in a compatible manner and each feature unique and notable design elements that provide architectural interest in both traditional and contemporary design styles. Specifically, the portions of the addition that would be visible from the public right-of- Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 5 of 12

way feature single hung and divided windows in a pattern that is consistent with those found on the existing structure, along with lap wood siding and composition roofing shingles that match those of the existing structure. Changes made to the design per the Commission’s direction serve to make the portions of the project visible from the public realm even more faithful to the existing historic façade by replacing previously proposed front-facing casement with double-hung multi-light windows that match existing ones. Another double-hung multi-light window added to the easternmost portion of the front façade matches the one found on the westernmost side of the existing front façade, providing some balance for the front façade. The portions of the additions that are not visible from the public right-of- way, where the contemporary design features are located, are also consistent with the other building elevations. For example, the second-story balcony on the eastern elevation features an open wood lattice guardrail that takes inspiration from the wood trellis found on the existing front porch. Additionally, the east, west and north elevations feature hung and casement wood windows and wood lap siding and composite shingle roof that are consistent with the rest of the building’s elevations. 6. Privacy – The draft resolution prepared for the January 11, 2017 Architectural Commission meeting found that the original proposal respected the privacy of the neighbor to the east to a reasonable extent, despite the proposed minimum setback on the applicant’s side and the small existing non-conforming setback on the neighbor’s side. Much of the conversation at the January 11, 2017 centered on privacy impacts to the neighbor to the east resulting from the two-story addition being proposed at the minimum required side setback distance of five feet, and the alignment of windows along the addition’s east elevation. Ultimately, the Commission provided clear direction to the applicant to mitigate these potential privacy impacts by setting the second-story addition further back and to revisit the number and alignment of windows along the east elevation. The applicant responded by reducing the size of the second-story allowing it to be set back an additional 6-feet to maintain a total setback of 11’-6”. The number of windows on the east elevation of the second story was also reduced from two to one (the previously proposed frosted glass window for the bathroom now faces north). The applicant also made changes to the first-story of the east elevation in response to comments that the window pattern resulted in a “bleak” elevation that was not designed to avoid privacy impacts. For the first-story, the applicant reduced the number of windows from six to four, and adjusted their alignment so that they would not provide direct views into west-facing windows on the neighbor’s home. The applicant also added multi-light panels to three of the four double-hung windows, providing some articulation for the east elevation. Staff finds that the changes made by the applicant enhance privacy for both the future residents of the subject property and the neighbor and that this review criterion can be met. 7. Internal Circulation - The design of the first- and second-story additions will result in a floor and site plan that provides for adequate pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the home and on the property. The lot is large for the HC zoning district in which it is located and the flow between the enlarged house and rear yard as well as the existing garage and street is well conceived and appropriate without appearing to be cramped or difficult to navigate. Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 6 of 12

8. Sustainability - The proposed addition is energy and water efficient as it will be required to meet all applicable sustainability codes and guidelines adopted by the City and the State’s green building code. The addition is expected to improve the energy efficiency of the existing home, which was constructed prior to the establishment of energy codes. Additionally, by retaining much of the existing historic structure, the proposal would preserve the embodied energy of the existing structure, precluding the need to use new materials for at least a portion of the project. 9. Tree Preservation – The proposed project would not result in the removal of any on-site significant mature trees. The applicant has proposed to remove a large non- native Palm tree located in the back yard. The applicant is also proposing to remove a small Deciduous tree located less than a foot away from the foundation on the east side of the existing structure. Both are located where the proposed addition would be located and are not desired to be kept by the applicant. The most notable existing tree on the property is a mature Coast Live Oak tree with a trunk diameter- at-breast-height of 29”. The Oak is located approximately 4-feet away from eastern wall of the existing structure. Per the arborist report submitted by the applicant, the mature tree is in good health. The additions proposed by the applicant would be built around the oak tree, maintaining similar amount of clearance as currently exists between the tree and existing building. Given the proximity of the proposed additions to the existing tree, the applicant has proposed measures to promote the long-term health of the tree. Specifically, the portions of the home addition and front porch that are proximate to the tree,, both of which would have raised foundations, would be constructed over support pillars designed to avoid tree roots 4-inches or larger. These tree roots would be identified in a hand-excavation of the root zone area. Given that the proposal would avoid the removal of the most significant native tree on the site that could potentially be impacted by the additions, this review criterion is satisfied. 10. Light and Air – The applicant stepped back the second-story portion of the addition away from the eastern property line in an effort to address the Commission’s concerns pertaining to both the neighbor’s privacy and her access to light and air. The second-story addition maintains the same depth of 23’-10”, but is reduced in size to allow it to be stepped back an additional 6-feet to the west. Stepping back the second-story past the minimum required setback of five feet allows for better access to light and air for the neighbor, whose western walls would be located over 14-feet away from the second-story addition. In lessening the potential for the project to impinge on the neighbor’s access to light and air by stepping back the second-story addition, staff finds that this criterion can be met. 11. Environmental Protections - The proposed development has been reviewed pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), for the reasons stated above in Section A. 12. Health and Safety - The visual effect of the development from view from adjacent public streets will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare. It features a design that is consistent with the existing historic structure and employs high-quality materials, meets all development standards and has been designed to harmonize with adjacent buildings and the surrounding historic streetscape. As such, the development does not have the Architectural Commission Resolution No. 2017-04 Page 7 of 12

potential to be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare.

Section C. Pursuant to Claremont Municipal Code Section 16.130.060.B.1.b, the Architectural Commission finds that the proposed chimney, having a height of 30 feet, in excess of the maximum allowable height of 25 feet for the HC zoning district, is well integrated into the architecture of the proposed additions, is compatible with surrounding development, does not provide additional floor space, and will not create a visually offensive view from the street or neighboring properties and hereby approves the increased height of the chimney as an appropriate architectural feature.

Section D. The Architectural Commission hereby approves Architectural and Site Plan Review #16-A10 based on the review criteria as outlined in Sections A and B above, subject to the following conditions of approval:

1. This approval is for the site plan, floor plans, and elevations for a first-story addition totaling 1,615 square feet and a second-story addition totaling 645 square feet having a maximum height of 24-feet as measured from the average grade to the midpoint of the roof’s ridge and its eaves.

2. This approval is valid for two years from the date of Architectural Commission action.

AWARD OF CONTRACT TO SARGENT TOWN PLANNING FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO ASSIST IN THE CREATION OF A SPECIFIC PLAN FOR THE VILLAGE SOUTH AREA AT INDIAN HILL BOULEVARD

SUMMARY

Staff recently completed a competitive selection process to hire a professional consultant team to assist in the creation of a Specific Plan for 17 acres of underutilized commercial and industrial land south of the Village. Consultant services will include public outreach, economic market studies, urban planning and design services, and environmental analysis services that include all environmental work necessary to satisfy the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which is likely to include the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). A Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services was circulated in November and the City received fifteen proposals. After evaluating the proposals and interviewing five finalist consultant teams, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement with Sargent Town Planners, Inc., based on their attached proposal, interview, portfolio of previous work, and positive references from previous clients.

The Specific Plan for the Village South area at Indian Hill Boulevard, which is often referred to as “Village South,” will update the zoning, permitted land uses, development standards, design guidelines, and circulation patterns for the plan area in order to help facilitate appropriate new development similar to the Village and Village Expansion areas. The plan will capitalize on the area’s location near the Metrolink and future Gold Line transit stations by encouraging a mix of uses, pedestrian-friendly development, and enhanced pedestrian amenities. Currently the area is occupied by a mix of vacant or aging industrial or commercial properties lined with small-scale residential properties, many of which have been converted to small office uses.

The Specific Plan effort is largely funded through a grant from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) which provides funding for planning efforts by local governments

Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Sargent Town Planners, Inc., to assist in the preparation of the Specific Plan and related environmental analysis for the Specific Plan for the Village South area at Indian Hill Boulevard (as described in the scope of work contained in the agreement), in the amount of $474,670, and authorize a contingency of $20,000, for a total amount of $494,670; and B. Authorize the expenditure of funds from the Metro Transit-Oriented Development Planning Grant and the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant to fund the cost of developing the Specific Plan.

ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDATION

In addition to the recommendation, there are the following alternatives:

A. Continue the matter for additional information or discussion. B. Do not approve the proposed agreement with Sargent Town Planning, Inc., and provide staff with direction on proceeding with the Specific Plan for the Village South area at Indian Hill Boulevard.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The total cost of the agreement is $494,670, including contingency. A grant in the amount of $418,000 has been awarded from Metro’s Transit-Oriented Development Planning Grant Program (TOD Grant). This grant will cover most of the third-party consulting costs associated with the project; however, there is a gap of $76,670.

To fill this gap and to help offset staff and city attorney costs on the project, the City has applied for an additional $250,000 grant from the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program, which is intended to promote a balanced, comprehensive multimodal transportation system that promotes sustainability and addresses local, Regional, and interregional transportation needs and issues. The City expects to hear if it has received this grant in April or May of this year. In the event that the City does not receive this second grant, staff will come back to the City Council with a plan to finance the gap.

The staff costs incurred to gain approval of the TOD Grant, prepare and circulate the RFP for consultant services, select a team, negotiate a contract, and prepare this report are estimated at $9,750, and have been included in the operating budget of the Community Development Department.

ANALYSIS

Background

On July 8, 2014, the City Council authorized staff to apply for a TOD Grant to help fund a Specific Plan for this area. The grant was approved by Metro in January 2015; however, a formal grant agreement was not executed until June 30, 2016.

CLAREMONT Page 2 of 6 Printed on 3/23/2017 powered by Legistar™ The 17-acre project area is a good fit for the TOD Grant program as it is within one-half mile of existing and future transit services. Currently, the area is faced with challenges that make it difficult to develop in a cohesive fashion. A major constraint is existing zoning, as the area is comprised of three different zoning districts that have widely varying and somewhat inconsistent land uses and development standards. The new Specific Plan will establish the City’s long-term vision for the area and provide clear guidelines and development standards that are based on the principles of a TOD, while also being compatible with surrounding uses. Since most properties within the proposed project site are vacant, underutilized, or neglected, the area has the potential to rapidly redevelop in accordance with the new community vision created in the Specific Plan.

Site Description

The area to be covered under the new Specific Plan is located just south of the Metrolink/BNSF rail right-of-way; directly south of the Village Expansion Specific Plan Area. As illustrated in Figure 1 below, the plan area boundaries include the properties located between Santa Fe Street and Arrow Highway, and between Bucknell Avenue and Indian Hill Boulevard, as well as a single row of properties located on the east side of Indian Hill Boulevard, between the Claremont Villas Senior Apartment complex to the north and Arrow Highway to the south.

Figure 1

The proposed project area encompasses approximately 17 acres of land, consisting of 34 properties. Currently, the area is comprised of different types of uses, which vary from professional offices, a vacant car dealership, an air cleaner manufacturing plant, and single-family homes. Five properties within the project area are currently undeveloped. Selection Process and Rationale for Selecting Sargent Town Planning, Inc. In response to the RFP that was circulated for this project, the City received fifteen proposals from a very strong group of consultant teams. From these submittals, five finalists were selected for interviews. Sargent Town Planning, Inc., was selected due to the team’s extensive experience on similar projects and the excellent qualifications of all team members. Team members demonstrated

CLAREMONT Page 3 of 6 Printed on 3/23/2017 powered by Legistar™ strong skills in the areas of architectural design, transit-oriented design, sustainable development, economic analysis, and environmental analysis. The team’s proposal and interview indicated a custom approach to completing the work that seemed to be well-suited for the Claremont Community. The team also conveyed a genuine willingness to listen to the community and incorporate local values and preferences into the Specific Plan.

CEQA REVIEW

In accordance with the CEQA, the entering into an agreement for assistance in the preparation of the Specific Plan and related environmental analysis for the Specific Plan for the Village South Area at Indian Hill Bouelvard is categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306. This Class 6 exemption allows for the data collection and resource evaluation which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource. This action involves the preparation of

CLAREMONT Page 5 of 6 Printed on 3/23/2017 powered by Legistar™ the Specific Plan and related environmental analysis for the Specific Plan, where there will be no disturbances of an environmental resource. Additionally, none of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions set forth in CEQA Guideline Section 15300.2 applies to the proposed project because the proposed project: (1) is not located in a uniquely sensitive environment; (2) is not located within a highway officially designated as a State scenic highway; (3) is not located on a hazardous waste site; (4) would not have a cumulative impact; and, (5) would not have a significant substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. Therefore, thus, the Class 6 categorical exemption applies and the exceptions do not.

PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS

This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process. Copies are available at the City Hall public counter, the Youth Activity Center, Alexander Hughes Community Center, the Claremont Public Library, and the City website. Additional members of the public that have requested being noticed of any developments on this Specific Plan were mailed notices on Thursday, March 16, 2017.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING

14 November 2016

Christopher Veirs, Principal Planner City of Claremont 207 Harvard Avenue, P.O. Box 880 Claremont, CA 91711

Re: Indian Hill Corridor Speciﬁc Plan and EIR

Dear Mr. Veirs: Sargent Town Planning appreciates this opportunity to present this proposal to the City of Claremont for the preparation of a specific plan and associated zoning, general plan amendments and environmental impact report. We have carefully reviewed the RFP and the Responses to Requests for Information and are confident that the team, approach, and scope of services we present here are very well matched to the opportunities you face and the objectives you have outlined. Given its location at the south gateway to Claremont’s iconic Village, within easy walking and biking distance of the Village and existing and planned Metrolink and Gold Line stations - and at the crossroads of two major cross-town corridors - the Plan Area is clearly well positioned for transit-oriented infil development of various types. Seizing the unique opportunities that this property represents will require a profound understanding of the structure and character of the Village and the design and economics of modern transit-oriented development, matched with deep experience and in designing balanced all-mode mobility networks for station areas and town centers. We bring to Claremont a proven team of colleagues who routinely collaborate on assignments of this type, each with very specific, relevant expertise. An overview of our team is provided in Section B of this proposal, followed by a complete statement of qualifications and references in accordance with the RFP. The core team of Sargent Town Planning, Raimi + Associates, and Nelson\Nygaard have successfully collaborated on 8 T.O.D. projects over the past 5 years, including Metro sponsored T.O.D. zoning for Metrolink station areas in San Fernando and Lancaster, the ground-breaking North Bayshore Precise Plan to transform the 1970s business park surrounding Google’s world headquarters to a high intensity, mixed-use employment district, and others. • Sargent Town Planning (STP) has been a regional leader in walkable neighborhoods, districts, corridors, and transit-oriented development for over 20 years. TP will lead the team, the public outreach effort, the planning and design, and specific plan preparation. • Raimi+Associates (R+A) – our allied planning firm with whom we collaborate continuously and share offices in Los Angeles and Berkeley – is a national leader in planning healthy sustainable communities. R+A will collaborate with STP in all phases of the work, organize the public outreach, and lead the policy and regulatory integration of the specific plan with the General Plan and other city documents. • Nelson\Nygaard (N\N) – with whom STP also shares offices in Los Angeles – is a national and international leader in multi-modal transportation planning, with a strong focus on transit and active transportation. N\N will lead transit integration, active transportation, and parking supply anaylsis and management. • Gibson Transportation Consulting (GTC) brings to the team over 3 decades of regional experience in analyzing and managing complex transportation systems, including two current T.O.D. plans with STP, R+A and N\N. GTC will lead the traffic analysis for the Plan and the EIR.

706 SOUTH HILL STREET, 12TH FLOOR | LOS ANGELES CA 90014 | 213.599.7680 | [email protected] SARGENT TOWN PLANNING

• Meridian Consultants (Meridian) are regional leaders in environmental analysis and review. Mr. Sargent and Meridian’s senior principal have collaborated on plans for town centers, station areas and walkable neighborhoods for over 25 years. Meridian will lead the environmental analysis and EIR process. • Crabtree Group (CGI) is a national leader in sustainable infrastructure for urban places, currently collaborating with STP on downtown and neighborhood plans. CGI will lead the infrastructure analysis, planning and design. We have organized our project approach as recommended in the RFP, presented in Section A of this proposal. The recommended approach is very much in line with our normal methodology for urban plans, starting with intensive people and place research, moving to public outreach and engagement to help the community envision the possibilities and evaluate alternative concepts and strategies for change, and then plan and environmental document preparation and public meetings for further review and feedback from the community and its leadership. At each stage of the process we richly illustrate the on-going community conversation with drawings, diagrams, photographs, and before and after illustrations to make sure that everyone involved can clearly grasp the issues and opportunities, and visualize the alternatives and trade-offs to provide their informed critique and consent to the outcomes. The undersigned is the President of Sargent Town Planning, Inc., fully authorized to commit STP and other team members to a binding agreement for the professional services and fees proposed herein. He will be the principal in charge for all work, will negotiate all contracts, monitor the progress of all work, and will personally lead all planning and design work and public meetings. STP has never been involved in any lawsuit involving our professional services, including environmental litigation, and each team member has provided us with a statement to this effect. As with all of our clients, the STP team will surely comply with the rules and regulations of our client and applicable governmental jurisdictions. This proposal is valid for 120 days, a reasonable extension of which will be granted if necessary. If selected for this assignment, we would commit ourselves to carefully reviewing the approach and scope of services with City staff and making adjustments as necessary to best meet the City’s needs. We have expeditiously adjusted that scope and added what we believe are appropriate technical studies in response to the new information in the Responses for Requests for Information. There are numerous assumptions and options regarding the breadth and depth of those studies that have the potential to push the fee totals up or down significantly. We will welcome the chance to discuss this with you to find the right balance between available funding resources and an environmental document that enables near-term development with minimal subsequent environmental review. Thank you again for this chance to present our team and our proposal to the City of Claremont. It would be our honor to assist you in planning this next addition to your lovely Village. If you have any questions or would like any further information about our team and proposed approach to this project please contact me at any time.

Best regards, SARGENT TOWN PLANNING, INC.

ii INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL A. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, APPROACH & SCOPE OF WORK

1. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

The proposed Specific Plan Area (Plan Area) clearly presents a great opportunity for the City of Claremont, and the Sargent Town Planning team would be honored to work with you to explore the possibilities and craft a plan to unlock the value of this place. The site’s proximity Claremont’s historic Village and existing and planned regional rail transit hub presents a unique opportunity, and the challenge is to truly and beautifully connect new, high quality, mixed-use development – and the lifestyles of its future residents and workers – to those remarkable civic Indian Hill Corridor Speciﬁc Plan Area and vicinity assets. The iconic Vortox facility at the “hinge” with the Village presents an additional opportunity to leverage the value of the past for a transit-oriented future. We see also the opportunity to effectively extend the essential character and quality of the Village southward, in new forms, to generate a valuable new Village South gateway at the major crossroads of Indian Hill Avenue and Arrow Highway. Recent and current assignments in which our team has collaboratively defined strategies and designs for remaking and calming highways as multi-modal avenues and boulevards, and weaving multi-modal networks of complete streets into existing urban fabric along rail corridors, include transformational plans for Metrolink station areas in San Fernando, Lancaster and Fontana; Amtrak station areas in Oxnard, King City, Soledad, San Juan Capistrano, Hercules, and Paso Robles; BART station area plans in Fremont and Castro Valley; Gold Line station area plans in East Los Angeles and Commerce; and BRT corridor plans in Oakland, Merced, Fontana, and Mountain View. Our team deeply understands the remarkable value exchange that occurs when private development fully leverages the value of major public transit investments to deliver a compelling transit-oriented lifestyle, and in turn delivering high levels of transit ridership with low traffic and parking ratios.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 1 2. PROJECT APPROACH

Collaboration: We collaborate: within our firm, with our sub-consultants (with two of whom we share our LA office), with our clients (in this case City staff), and with the communities we work in and for. For every plan we undertake, we want the best available ideas, designs and strategies, and do not care who thought them up, we weave them into the plan. We start every project by merging our team with the client’s staff to form a single, seamless working group, with clear and open communication channels. We communicate through email and phone calls mostly, with weekly or monthly status updates, periodic team meetings, and intense multi-hour or all-day working sessions at key points in the process to solve complex or stubborn interdisciplinary puzzles, face to face, in real time with pencils out.

Engagement: Our typical approach to each new assignment is exactly as you have succinctly described as “Public Participation Approach” on page 3 of the RFP. We start with a deep dive into people and place research, engaging City staff and Community members and consultant team reviewing illustrative vision plan at a key stakeholders to learn all that we can about the Paso Robles Charrette place, its history, its challenges and opportunities, and hopes for the future. We read your existing plans and carefully observe, map, analyze and diagram the Plan Area and a broad context area so that we fully understand the urban, architectural, mobility, social and economic patterns, what is working, what could work better, what is likely to change, what is unlikely to change, and where short-term and longer term opportunities to catalyze beneficial change may lie.

Research: We prepare existing conditions reports on key topics, including all-mode transportation networks, market economics, existing field conditions, urban form and character (both present day and historic), and a complete set of planning and urban design principles, built on your General Plan, other plans, stakeholder meetings, and working sessions with City staff. We will also prepare the enviromental background reports for the subsequent EIR, covering all the topics identified in the RFP and in the subsequent Response to Requests for Information. These reports will be in the form written reports and PowerPoint presentations for use in subsequent meetings.

Outreach, Engagement and Vision: With a good understanding of the place as it is and some of the main goals and possibilities for its future, we will work with City staff to plan, initiate and sustain an open, well informed, highly illustrated and dynamic conversation with the community about the future of the Plan area. Our process balances the value of face to face discussions with stakeholders, City officials and the general public, and the leverage that web-based communication and social media offer to extend the boundaries and reach of that conversation.

2 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL Engagement begins with individual and small group interviews with community members with a keen interest in the Plan Area, offering the option of confidentiality which we find is often useful in eliciting important information early in the process. These interviews also lead us to other stakeholders and organizations whose input and support may be valuable in achieving community consensus around a strong plan. Then community meetings offer perhaps the most valuable forums for envisioning the possibilities, sharing ideas, and discussing alternatives. We normally find that three is a unique challenges and opportunities in Downtown Fontana. good number for these, the first introducing the Plan and the background analysis and inviting big ideas and concerns, the second evaluating a range of concepts and ideas that we generate in response to the first meeting, and the third to review and discuss a synthesis of those concepts and ideas in the form of a “Framework Plan”, or preferred alternative, with a range of sub-alternatives. Merging this method with the direction in the RFP, it seems to us that the second community meeting might take place as a joint Planning Commission/City Council study session, or two sequential meetings if Customized website and social media tools are use in the City of Burbank to guide additonal that is preferred. conversations, distribute information and gain community input online

Online Outreach: To broaden the reach of the community conversation, we set up a simple project website (or the City can set up a few web pages on their municipal website if you prefer) that provides information about the planning process, opportunities to provide input, downloads of progress documents, tools to upload images and suggestions, and tools for periodic surveys. We will also work with City staff to connect the website to existing social media channels that the City, Claremont Village, Chamber of Commerce or other local organizations have already established. We can of course establish new social media channels but we find that plugging into existing channels is generally more effective in getting the word out and communicating with the community. At each stage of this conversation we provide highly graphic materials to help all participants envision the opportunities, evaluate alternatives, and come to consensus on the trajectory, type, scale and character of change.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 3 Documents: Based on the Framework Plan – and on a Specific Plan outline and format previously worked out and agreed to with the client – we prepare in draft form all the chapters of the specific plan for City review. We will work with City staff to refine and complete a Public Review Draft Plan, and concurrently to prepare the appropriate CEQA documentation for public review. Based on review comments from the public and City elected and appointed boards and commission we revise and refine the Draft Documents to produce final documents for adoption. We agree that a specific plan is a good choice of document type for this situation, allowing as it does a higher level of detail and rezoning for the 17-acre area, along with vision, policy, and circulation and public realm plans, along with concepts for the larger station area context area, to the extent that is useful and appropriate. Design guidelines, infrastructure plans, and implementation, phasing and financing strategies will all be included in the Plan, and the new or updated zoning can reside in the specific plan, or in the zoning code, whichever works better for you. General plan policies that support the specific plan will be highlighted and woven into the Plan, and we will draft language for any targeted amendments to the General Plan that may emerge from this work.

Project Management: Our project management begins with a Project Management Plan, which we prepare in draft form prior to the kickoff meeting and update from time to time. The Plan includes the project scope, project schedule, team organization chart and roster with contact information, and chart of responsibilities, identifying for each task or major topic which team member will take a lead role and which will support. Additional topics include communication protocols, suggested document formats, and other subjects to be discussed and agreed upon.

4 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL We provide monthly status reports, including the quarterly reports required by Metro, and depending on the progress of the work may also schedule weekly conference calls to stay coordinated. Calls often include screen-sharing through our Join.Me account to allow joint review of progress drawings and Google Maps site tours without always requiring physical travel. And because Claremont is on the San Bernardino Metrolink line with frequent two-way connections to Union Station, we will be quite flexible regarding the number and frequency of meetings at City Hall. We monitor project progress on a weekly basis, to ensure that internal work flows and the progress our sub-consultants are proceeding on schedule and within scope and budget. We utilize Harvest time tracking for continuous budget monitoring and Harvest Forecast for staffing and workload projections. We prepare detailed monthly invoices that include a summary of charges for the subject billing period, a summary statement of previous charges, fees remaining to be billed by task, and estimates of percent complete on each task. Sub-consultant invoices are attached and tracked cumulatively on a tracking sheet by STP invoice and percent complete. Reimbursable expenses are billed at our actual cost, and receipts are attached.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 5 3. PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES

We propose to organize the services for the Indian Hill Corridor Specific Plan and EIR into 5 major tasks and multiple sub-tasks as follows:

TASK 1: PROJECT INITIATION AND MANAGEMENT Upon selection, STP will work collaboratively and diligently with City staff to finalize the scope of services and project schedule, enter into a contract for services, and organize and schedule a kick-off meeting.

Task 1.1 Kickoﬀ Meeting STP and at least one representative of each Team member firm will attend a kickoff meeting in Claremont. STP will provide the City with a Project Management Plan in advance of the meeting, including overviews of project approach, scope, and schedule, as well as suggested communication protocols, document types and formats, draft public outreach and engagement plan, and other important details. We suggest that approximately 4 hours be scheduled, including:

• Introductions of the City team and STP Team. • An overview of project goals, objectives and background by City staff. • An overview of the project approach, scope and schedule by Mr. Sargent. • Discussion of the above, as well as the other contents of the Project Management Plan. • A walking tour of the Plan area and vicinity. • A discussion and refinement of the draft outreach and engagement plan. • Breakout meetings between STP Team members and their City counterparts, if appropriate and time permitting, to exchange information and discuss specific topics.

STP will prepare notes of the meeting and deliver them for review within a few days of the kickoff, including an updated Project Management Plan reflecting adjustments agreed upon in the meeting.

This will be in the form of a short written report and a sequence of PowerPoint slides. Nelson\Nygaard (N\N) will research and summarize existing and planned transit routes and services within central Claremont, with a particularly focus on the proposed combined Metrolink/Gold Line station. They will also review existing shared parking arrangements for the Village, and planned parking facilities for the new combined station, and identify opportunities for expanding that parking sharing system to include the Plan Area.

Task 2.4 Market Analysis Metropolitan Research and Economics (MR+E) will produce a baseline existing economic conditions and opportunities analysis for the Plan Area. They will start by receiving Connectivity study of existing walk- and bike-sheds in Oxnard, CA previous studies and assessments prepared for the city of Claremont on issues surrounding development of the Indian Hill Corridor Specific Plan Area and surrounding neighborhoods. In collaboration with the team MR+E will tour the site, participate in initial meetings, and prepare data request list and work to identify critical items required for the analysis.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 9 MR+E will utilize information from a broad variety of primary data sources (e.g. County Assessor’s data, State Board of Equalization records, U.S. Bureau of Statistics records, and the California Economic Development Department Labor Market Information Division) to compile information on population, employment, retail sales, and non-residential occupancies. Also, MR+E will present demographic trends and information on factors driving commercial and housing demand in the Plan Area and the Claremont market. MR+E will prepare a high-level demographic analysis of the Plan Area and compare it to the county as a whole, and include an analysis of population, household age distribution, income distribution, and educational attainment. This analysis will be compiled in statistical form.

Task 2.5 Planning and Design Principles Based on the analysis described above, and through consultation with City staff, the Team will prepare an organized set of planning and design principles to be presented to the community for discussion. These principles will be based on the values of the General Plan, on the essential an historic nature and character of Claremont, on current best practices for transit-oriented development and sustainable community planning, and will seek to begin to synthesize and balance these and other factors toward a vision for the Plan Area. We find that naming matters and gentle branding often emerges from the process of looking for the essence of a place. This task (and stakeholder conversations and community meetings that follow) might include discussions of identity to help clarify the role of the Plan Area (Village South?) in the larger picture of central Claremont.

Deliverables: Existing conditions reports and analysis, parallel PowerPoint presentations, planning base map for Plan Area and vicinity.

TASK 3: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND VISION PLAN

Task 3.1 Stakeholder Interviews The Team will work with City staff to schedule and conduct a series of interviews with individuals and groups with a keen interest in this Plan. We anticipate that this would include Plan Area property owners, owners of adjoining properties, representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and/or Village merchants’ association, representatives of Metro and Foothill Transit, and others identified by the City. These interviews would be led by STP and would include other relevant team members, particularly MR+E in meetings with business owners and organizations and N\N in meetings with transit agencies. We anticipate approximately two days of such meetings, which could also be interspersed with technical meetings between STP sub-consultants and other City departments. We generally plan full days of meetings to leverage travel time and invite clients to book up those days when possible.

Task 3.2 Summary Presentation and Boards The Team will organize all the people and place research completed in Task 2 and Task 3.1 into a sequence of PowerPoint presentation segments and display boards, for use in subsequent community meetings. We will provide these to City staff in draft form for review and comment, and will refine them as requested. We will also package and deliver any written existing conditions reports.

10 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL Task 3.3 Community Meeting #1 – Discovery We will work closely with City staff to schedule and organize this meeting, and will prepare flyers and web announcements for publicizing this initial community meeting. In this workshop we will make short presentations of background information – perhaps an overview of the Plan Area and main objectives, an overview of urban and transportation patterns, and overview of transit-oriented development in general – with large and small group discussions between the presentations. Alternatively, we can organize discussions by topic at stations around the room to allow people to focus on subjects most interest to them. Regardless of the details of the workshop format – which we develop in close consultation with our client – the objective and result is to provide and receive information on all the main topics in an organized manner, so that we leave the workshop with a clear idea of the community’s preferences, concerns and priorities.

Task 3.4 Conceptual Plans, Diagrams and Illus- trations Based on all we have heard, seen and learned through analysis, stakeholder interviews and discovery workshop, we will propose a series of concepts for change, including streetscape, mobility, connectivity and public realm improvements, and infill housing, commercial and mixed-use development types and adaptive reuse possibilities. An important step in this work will be a half- or full-day “internal charrettelette” in our LA studio, in which our full Team will work rapidly and collaboratively to generate an initial set of land use and building form alternatives, block structure alternatives, and network and connectivity alternatives. We would invite City Staff representatives to join us for portions of this working session, or can later brief staff on the results. After reviewing these ideas with Staff, we will illustrate these concepts and suggestions through a variety of media, including hand sketches, neighborhood diagrams, connectivity diagrams, 3-D modeling, and photographs of precedents that illustrate building and public space typologies and design character that may play a role in the plan. Then, depending on direction from Staff, we might also share these concepts with key stakeholders and property owners, prior to presenting at a second public meeting.

Task 3.5 Planning Commission/City Council Study Session(s) We anticipate that the initial public presentation of the initial planning and design recommendations may take the form of a Planning Commission/City Council study session, or two successive study sessions. We find these to be valuable forums that allow an open discussion of the possibilities, enabling us and the public to get a clear sense of the direction and preferences coming from City leadership, and allowing the

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 11 leadership to hear the community concerns and aspirations. We listen very carefully to the feedback we receive, refining and adjusting our suggestions and developing additional concepts in response to the ongoing community conversation.

Task 3.6 Framework Plan and Reﬁnement Beginning with another working session with City staff, we will compile and integrate the concepts that receive the most community support – and those with the best chance of market-driven implementation, based on feasibility evaluation from our economist and other team members – into a “Framework Plan.” This Plan is essentially a “preferred alternative” that still has a range of contingent sub-alternatives that will allow the plan to Perspective drawing of future vision for 10th St, in Lancaster, CA respond to market conditions over time. The Framework Plan – including a recommended regulating (zoning and mobility) plan, public realm and connectivity diagrams and illustrations, conceptual plans for new development and adaptive reuse on selected opportunity sites, and clear descriptions and illustrations of the range of development types and the scales and characters of development to be enabled by new or updated zoning – will be presented in a Community Meeting #2 for community feedback and input. The framework plan, together with community response, will be the basis for the Draft Specific Plan. The Framework Plan will include significant economic and transportation analysis and input. N\N will work closely with STP and GTC to propose and test a range of potential connectivity alternatives, including enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities on existing streets – Indian Hill, First, Green and College in particular – as well as potential pedestrian and bike connections to the new stations from the south side of the tracks. STP will illustrate a number of potential alternatives for consideration by Staff and the community. In this task MR+E will prepare an economic development strategy that capitalizes on the specific conditions in for the Indian Hill Corridor Plan Area based on the economic geography of the community and its location relative to Claremont village and other comparable and comparative districts within the community and regional market. This will produce a forecast of real estate demand for land uses in the project area that will inform, and be informed by, the emerging physical forms for new development. This analysis will consider both new development and adaptive reuse opportunities. MR+E will provide a forecast the oncoming demand for the following broad category of land uses, including commercial office, retail, visitor serving and hospitality, residential and mixed-use, and others as determined through research.

Deliverables: Initial concepts illustrations and PowerPoint presentation for staﬀ workshop and study sessions, Framework Plan and related illustrations, mainly in PowerPoint format.

TASK 4: SPECIFIC PLAN PREPARATION

Task 4.1 Speciﬁc Plan Outline and Format We will prepare a draft outline and recommended format for the Specific Plan meeting the requirements of Government Code §65450-65457, and will deliver these to City Staff for review and comment. We will meet with Staff to review, discuss and refine these prior to initiating work on the Draft Specific Plan. We would suggest a structure generally as follows, but will be flexible to ensure that its organization and contents meet the City’s needs and preferences. Chapter 1: Introduction, Setting, Purpose and Authority: This chapter will describe the background and purpose for the Plan; briefly summarize the planning and transportation setting (more detailed background analysis from Task 2 might be included as an Appendix); and describe the relation to other plans, including the General Plan, the Village Design Plan, and Village West Specific Plan and others. A short policy summary from those documents may be included, and a more extensive General Plan Consistency narrative may be included as an appendix, if appropriate. Chapter 2: Vision: This chapter will present the community’s vision for the Plan Area and for station area connectivity from the south. And it will describe and illustrate the various dimensions of that vision in an integrated presentation, including land use and urban form, public realm and mobility, economic development, and high level implementation strategies. It will tell the story of the community’s hopes for the area’s long term future, and how the plan will enable the systematic coordination of each increment of public and private reinvestment toward that future vision. Chapter 3: Land Use, Urban Form, Character and Preservation: This chapter will focus on land use regulations, development standards, and design guidelines intended to shape new investment into the types and forms envisioned for the Area, coordinating a number of independent development projects built at different times to deliver an urban place with a coherent vocabulary of building forms and frontages that are consistently oriented to the safety and comfort of the pedestrian. A significant section of this chapter (potentially its own separate chapter) will focus on the historic patterns and historic resources of the Plan Area, and their relation to the historic patterns of the Village. We have reviewed with admiration the Village Design Plan, and intend to incorporate many of the clear observations and keen analysis that informed that document in the new specific plan. We believe that the building typologies presented in that plan provide a solid foundation for thinking about the patterns, forms, massing and character of new development south of the tracks. Not to copy these historic

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 13 buildings, but to learn from and relate to them in ways that generate a unique sense of place and new value for the area. If the City elects to place the applicable zoning regulations in Title 16 of the Municipal Code, this chapter will include an overview of the intentions and parameters of those regulations, as an introduction to and coordinated with the design guidelines. Or if the City prefers, the development standards (and potentially land use regulations as well) could be organized as the initial section of this chapter, followed by and integrated with design guidelines. This could be organized as a form-based code or some other hybrid form. In any case, we expect that the development standards will include a graphically oriented presentation of standards for land use; site design; building size, scale, massing and orientation to the public realm; and parking standards and sharing protocols. Chapter 4: Public Realm, Mobility and Infrastructure: This chapter will focus on the public space network within and surrounding the Plan Area, addressing its physical design (streetscapes, public open space design, tree preservation and urban forest enhancement), its circulation operations (vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and transit functions), and the utility systems that underlie and support the development of the area. These subjects need not all be combined in a single chapter, but as the topics must be well and tightly integrated in a compact development patterns such as T.O.D., we find that integrating them into a single, multi-dimensional presentation can be quite clear. This critical chapter will be the result of tight collaboration by all team members. Chapter 5: Implementation: This chapter will outline strategies for systematic change, phasing possibilities or options, and public sector and private developer responsibilities for the phased implementation of public improvements to support new development. This will include estimates of the capital cost for infrastructure and connectivity improvements prepared by CGI and identification of potential funding sources and financing strategies prepared by MR+E.

Task 4.2 Administrative Draft Speciﬁc Plan and Zoning Based on the Framework Plan, as adjusted through discussions with City Staff, we will prepare a complete draft of the Specific Plan and related zoning. We would anticipate requesting a meeting with City Staff around the mid-point of preparation of the Draft Plan, to review and confirm a range of important details. We will deliver the Draft Documents to Staff for review. To inform and support the Draft Plan MR+E will outline an economic development strategy and mix of land uses and development programs for the Plan Area. This market feasibility report will provide forecasts of absorption, development cash flow analyses and a phasing strategy based on identified capture rates and long term trends in the local economy, so assist the City, property owners, and others in evaluating the draft policies, priorities and regulations of the Plan.

Deliverables: Administrative Draft Speciﬁc Plan, including or along with draft zoning standard recommendations.

Task 4.3 Staﬀ Review of Administrative Draft Plan We will respond to questions as Staff reviews the Draft Plan, and will plan attend a meeting with City staff upon completion of their review to discuss adjustments and unresolved issues and receive direction.

14 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL Various members will attend that meeting as necessary.

Deliverables: A single redlined copy of Draft Plan from City to STP, and meeting notes and responses to questions from STP to City .

Task 4.4 Public Review Draft Speciﬁc Plan, Zoning and General Plan Amendments Based on the direction received from City Staff, we will prepare a Public Review Draft Specific Plan, to be made available for public review concurrently with the Draft EIR.

Deliverables: Public Review Draft Speciﬁc Plan, including or along with draft zoning standard recommendations, General Plan consistency memo including recommended amendments. Public Review Draft EIR.

Task 4.5 Public Hearing Draft Speciﬁc Plan, Zoning and General Plan Amendments Based on public comment received, and on direction from City Staff, we will make additional adjustments and refinements to the Plan and produce Public Hearing Draft documents, including the Specific Plan, Zoning, General Plan Amendments, and EIR (see Task 5, below).

Deliverables: Public Hearing Draft of all documents from Task 4.4.

Task 4.6 Final Speciﬁc Plan, Zoning and General Plan Amendments Based on comments provided and direction received from the Planning Commission and City Council – and on further direction from City Staff – we will prepare Final Documents. We will deliver these to the City in high resolution PDF format from two-sided color printing, and lower resolution form for posting to the web.

Deliverables: Final documents in high resolution PDF format for printing, with smaller ﬁles for posting to the web.

TASK 5 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EIR This Scope of Work (SOW) is organized to follow the environmental review process as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and CEQA Guidelines. The approach and work products are identified and described below for the following tasks: Task 5.1: Scoping Task 5.2: Prepare Administrative Draft EIR Task 5.3: Prepare Public Draft EIR Task 5.4: Prepare Final EIR

Task 5.1: Scoping Meridian Consultants will prepare an Initial Study for the Indian Hill Corridor Specific Plan using the latest standard Initial Study checklist form as appended to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Analysis will be provided for each of the environmental topics in the Initial Study checklist form to explain and justify each “No Impact”, “Less Than Significant Impact”, “Potential Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated” and “Potential Significant Impact” answer checked in response to each checklist question.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 15 Meridian Consultants will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the EIR containing all information required by Section 15082 of the CEQA Guidelines. Meridian Consultants will submit a draft of the NOP for review by the City, revise this draft in response to any comments, and prepare and distribute the finalized NOP for the required 30-day review period to all parties on the distribution list provided by the City. A detailed narrative project description with sufficient maps, plans, and other graphics to fully define the project and its location will be provided with the NOP. A description of the environmental setting of the project, including a description of the current site condition and surrounding land uses, will also be provided. Meridian Consultants will also assist City Planning Department staff and the project team in organizing and conducting a public scoping meeting for the EIR. Meridian Consultants will prepare presentation boards on the environmental review process and project information packets and comment forms for this meeting. Following the close of the 30-day NOP review period, Meridian Consultants will review all written comments received by the City and identify any adjustments to the scope of work needed to respond to these comments.

Task 5.2: Prepare Administrative Draft Program EIR Meridian Consultants will prepare an Administrative Draft EIR for review by the City of Claremont. Based on the location and characteristics of the project site and the proposal to plan a transit oriented district, this SOW provides for analysis of the following topics: • Aesthetics • Air Quality • Cultural Resources • Geology & Soils • Greenhouse Gases • Hazards & Hazardous Materials • Land Use & Planning • Noise • Public Services • Transportation & Traffic • Utilities & Service Systems

16 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL Report Organization We also anticipate the following topics can be sufficiently addressed in the Initial Study based on available information, such as the City’s General Plan and other information collected or generated during the preparation of the Specific Plan, such that further analysis will not be required in the EIR: Agriculture & Forestry Resources, Biological Resources, Hydrology & Water Quality, Mineral Resources, Population & Housing, and Recreation.

Introduction: This section will be provided as a courtesy to the reader who may have little or no experience in reading an EIR. The purpose of an EIR will be defined, with references to the CEQA Guidelines and statutes, as appropriate. The format and content of the EIR will be explained. Standards for EIR will be briefly discussed. The environmental review process, as it is being administered for this project by the City of Clare- mont, will also be explained.

Executive Summary: The Executive Summary will be prepared in accordance with CEQA requirements and will include a summary of the proposed project, project background, discussion of any known areas of controversy, and a summary of project alternatives. A summary of potentially significant impacts, mitigation measures, and residual impacts after mitigation will also be provided.

Project Description: The Project Description will address all items required under CEQA including project location, project objectives, the intended uses of the EIR, and a list of all other related environmental review and consultation requirements. The Project Description will clearly define all characteristics of the transit oriented district the proposed Specific Plan would allow. The objectives of the Specific Plan will be identified along with all discretionary approval actions proposed.

Environmental Impact Analysis: Each topical section will follow a master format designed to demon- strate CEQA compliance and increase the ability of the public to understand the information in the EIR. Each section will be organized as follows: • Existing conditions will be discussed for each topic. Relevant regulations and policies will be identified and discussed. • Thresholds of significance will be described to allow the reader to understand the significance of each identified impact. • Project impacts will be identified and discussed by type of impact, based on factual evidence. • Cumulative impacts will be identified and discussed. Consistent with Section 15130 (b) of the State CEQA Guidelines, cumulative impacts will be assessed for each topic based on either a list of related projects or a summary of projections in a planning document. The most appropriate method will be used for each topic based on the availability and relevance of available information. • Mitigation measures for each impact will be identified and discussed.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 17 • Conclusions regarding the significance of each impact after mitigation will be presented. The conclusions will be presented in a form that can be easily incorporated into the required CEQA Findings of Fact for each significant impact. • Meridian Consultants will prepare air quality, greenhouse gas and noise studies to support the prepa- rations of the EIR. The air quality analysis will be prepared in accordance with South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) standards. The CalEEMod emissions model will be used to estimate criteria air pollutant emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) for the new development that would be allowed by the proposed Specific Plan. The consistency of the Specific Plan with applicable local, regional and state policies and plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions will be analyzed to determine the significance of greenhouse gas emissions from the project. The noise analysis will define the existing noise environment based on noise monitoring and address potential construction noise impacts, changes in traffic noise on streets in the area and the compatibility of the proposed land uses that would be allowed by the Specific Plan with the City’s noise standards. • Applied Earthworks will prepare a Cultural Resources study for the project area addressing archeology, paleontology and historic resources. A literature and records search will be conducted at the at the South Central Coastal Information Center and through the State Native American Heritage Commission for archeological resources and at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County for paleontological resources. A field survey will be conducted that will focus on evaluating the 33 structures located on the site for historic resource significance. • Leighton Consulting, Inc. will prepare a geology study of the project site based on review of reports, literature, maps and historic aerial and other sources including websites for the California Geological Survey, the County of Los Angeles and any available geotechnical reports prepared near the site. Based on this review a licensed Geotechnical Engineer and Certified Engineering Geologist will evaluate evaluation general geologic and geotechnical engineering conditions, the potential for significant geologic and geotechnical impacts and appropriate mitigation measures. • Leighton Consulting will also prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the project site addressing the potential for the presence of hazardous materials and other recognized environmental conditions. A search of selected government databases will be completed along with available sources of historic information including aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, property tax files, recorded land title records, USGS 15 and/or 7.5-minute USGS topographic maps, local street directories, building department records, and zoning/land use records. City, county, state, and federal agencies will be contacted to determine the presence of registered aboveground and underground storage tanks, landfills, contaminated sites, records of emergency release response reports and contaminated public wells. Interviews will be conducted with property owners to supplement this research and a survey of the site will be conducted to look for evidence of the presence of hazardous materials or potential contamination by these materials. • The traffic background report (Task 2.3) prepared by Gibson Transportation Consulting will be used to address potential traffic impacts.

Alternatives: CEQA requires an EIR to evaluate the comparative merits of a range of reasonable alternatives to a project that could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project and avoid or lessen the signifi-

18 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL cant impacts of the project as identified in the EIR. Evaluation of a “No Project” alternative is also required. Al- ternatives will be selected based on their potential to avoid or lessen any significant impacts associated with the proposed project while still meeting the basic project objectives. Comparative qualitative analysis of the “No Project” alternative and two additional alternatives to be identified with the City will be provided in this section. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified as required by the CEQA Guidelines.

Other Required Sections and Appendices: The EIR will include all other sections required under the CEQA Guidelines, including Growth Inducing Impacts, Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes, a list of organizations and persons involved in the preparation of the EIR, and list of references and persons con- sulted as part of the EIR analysis. The appendices will include all technical studies and other items related to the EIR, such as the NOP and comment letters on the NOP.

Task 5.3: Prepare Public Draft EIR This task and the associated cost proposal provides for revisions of the EIR in response to comments from City of Claremont staff. Meridian Consultants will meet with City staff to receive the City’s comments on the first draft of the EIR, review these comments with the project team, and revise the Draft EIR to incorporate the comments and requested information. This task also includes preparation of an unbound, camera-ready master copy of the Draft EIR for printing, 5 copies of the Draft EIR, 30 copies of the EIR on CD, and provision of electronic PDF files for posting to the City of Claremont website. Meridian Consultants will coordinate the production of copies for public distribution with the City of Claremont. Task 5.4: Prepare Final EIR Following the close of the 45-day public review period and the receipt of all comments on the Draft EIR, Meridian Consultants will compile, index and review all written comments. After we have received suggestions and directions from the City, draft responses will be prepared for team review. Based on the characteristics of the project and the scope of the EIR, our cost proposal includes an allowance of hours to respond to comments and prepare the Final EIR based on experience with projects of similar complexity. This portion of the project budget can be adjusted, as necessary, after all the comments have been received and reviewed. If a substantial number of comments are received and specific issues are repeatedly raised, Meridian Consultants will prepare topical responses, thereby eliminating the need for repetitive, possibly conflicting, responses to each comment. After responses to comments have been reviewed by the City, Meridian Consultants will revise the responses to comments based on team and City input. Once responses to comments have been finalized, Meridian Consultants will prepare the Final EIR document integrating feedback received from the team and in accordance with the City’s requirements. The Final EIR will include a revised Executive Summary, a section containing corrections and additions to the Draft EIR, and the comments and responses. This task also includes preparation of an unbound, camera-ready master copy of the Final EIR for printing, 10 printed copies of the Final EIR, one electronic copy on CD and provision of electronic PDF files for posting to the City website.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 19 Meridian Consultants will prepare the final Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP), findings for each significant impact of the project as required by Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines and, if required, a Statement of Overriding Considerations consistent with Section 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines, and a resolution for Certification of the Final EIR and adoption of the MMP, Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations. These documents will be submitted in draft form for review and comment by the City, revised as necessary to respond to comments, and finalized for submittal to the City of Claremont. Meridian Consultants will attend the Planning Commission and City Council hearings on the EIR and Specific Plan. At these hearings. Meridian Consultants will make presentations on the contents and findings of the analysis in the EIR and respond to questions. Following approval of the project, Meridian Consultants will also prepare and file the Notice of Determination.

30 INDIAN HILL CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN PROPOSAL SARGENT TOWN PLANNING

FIRM PROFILE Sargent Town Planning is an urban planning consulting ﬁrm that specializes in the planning and design of sustainable pedestrian- and transit-oriented neighborhoods, districts, towns and cities. Founded by David Sargent in Ventura, California in 1995 and based in Los Angeles since 2009, the ﬁrm provides a full range of urban planning and design services to public and private clients throughout the United States.

Our urban planning and design work integrates human-scale, pedestrian-oriented public space networks and multi-modal transportation systems with civic facilities and private development of all types to form complete, coherent and walkable communities. Much of our work is based on our analysis and understanding of the most successful California towns and cities, and the adaptation of timeless, regionally derived design principles to modern commercial, residential, mixed-use and industrial development.

Our process is typically centered around public workshops and design charrettes in which all stakeholders - the client, the consultant team, municipal oﬃcials, neighbors, interest groups, and the general public - can eﬀectively collaborate in the planning and design of the project. Beginning with a comprehensive analysis of the planning area and its physical, economic, regulatory and political realities and context, we organize a sustained community conversation through which alternatives are discussed and tested, converging on a preferred vision plan.

Upon clarifying and developing consensus around that community vision, we “reverse engineer” that future vision into a systematic set of strategies, actions, policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures to systematically implement that vision through coordinated public and private improvements over time. Implementation tools include regulating (zoning and circulation) plans, public realm designs and standards for street networks and other public spaces, vision-based development codes to guide the placement, scale, massing and use of buildings, and implementation and ﬁnancing strategies. Throughout the process we prepare conceptual development plans, perspectives, and three-dimensional massing models to illustrate the urban design intent of the plan, and to test the feasibility of the draft regulations and design guidelines. For many projects we also provide a range of post- adoption development implementation services to help ensure that the community’s vision is realized.

For each project we assemble a team of professionals tailored to meet the client’s requirements, including in-house experts and consulting professionals. Teams typically include architects, planners, landscape architects, civil and transportation engineers, urban economists, environmental consultants and others as required. For design charrettes all team members are assembled on the site for a period of four to ten days.

The firm’s current and recent projects range in size from single neighborhoods to entire cities, and in scale and character from greenfield neighborhoods and village scale downtowns to transit-oriented employment districts. Current projects include downtown revitalization plans, greenfield neighborhoods for town expansion, transit station area and transit-oriented corridor transformation plans and codes, and final designs for streetscape transformation. Deliverables include vision plans, specific plans, area plans, general plans, and form-based and hybrid development codes, design guidelines and construction documents.

SARGENT TOWN PLANNING 37 DOWNTOWN AREA PLAN & GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Fontana, CA

Civic Park District illustrative plan, showing recommended public improvements and infill to “heal the gap” between the Civic Center to the north and historic retail district to the south.

In as a part of a team led by Stantec, Sargent Town Planning was retained by the City of Fontana to update their General Plan and prepare a new vision, plan, zoning and design guidelines for the Downtown Area of central Fontana. In addition to a plan and strategy for revitalizing their underperforming three-block downtown retail core, initiatives identified for the Downtown Area include the creating of a Civic Park District in the vacant area between the Civic Center and the Downtown Core, new mixed-use neighborhood development around the Metrolink station and Chaffey College, a new Foothill Boulevard/Route 66 Gateway to the downtown, and mixed-use neighborhood Sierra Avenue today infill in the underdeveloped Westside Neighborhoods.

Through the analysis and public workshops for the General Plan update starting in 2015, and through more recent analysis and workshops for the Downtown Plan, range of remarkable opportunities for the future success of the Downtown have emerged. Chief among these are its central location at the major crossroads of the town, the broadly shared vision for a lively local destination for family dining, entertainment and shopping, the many committed downtown business and property owners, the large areas of publicly owned streets, lots and open spaces, and the abundance of vacant and underutilized land in and near the Downtown. Sunset on Sierra Street Fair Following a very positive second downtown workshop, STP is preparing a Draft Area Plan which will be presented in a third downtown workshop in early December, after which STP and Lisa Wise Consulting will draft updated zoning to implement the Plan.

In association with Lisa Wise Consulting, Sargent Town Planning was retained by the City of Soledad to prepare a vision plan and updated Specific Plan for their historic downtown. Like so many California railroad towns, Soledad’s downtown is focused on a “one-sided Main Street” with historic commercial buildings along one side with now-vacant former packinghouse lots across the street. And unlike typical railroad towns, Soledad’s Front Street - former Highway 101 - is adjacent to and very visible from Interstate 101. However that access routes from the interstate into downtown are disorienting and do not project the image of a small town. Front Street rehabilitation After intensive analysis of existing conditions and historic development patterns, the team conducted a 4-day public design charrette in a shopfront on Front Street, developing a conceptual urban plan addressing: access and image from the freeway; new infill development along the railroad side of the street to generate a two-sided “main street”; a new multi-modal transportation center and Station Plaza at the center of the district; new street and pedestrian connections from Front Street to a existing major park; and a new hotel and movie theater in the Downtown core, which otherwise would be attracted to remote freeway interchange sites. The Specific Plan was updated based on the new vision plan, and a form-based development code prepared to ensure that Photo-lllustration of facade restoration future public and private improvements implement that vision. The Plan was adopted by unanimous vote of the Planning Commission and City Council.

Los Angeles, CA Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit Sustainable Corridor Implementation Plan

For the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority or Metro, Nelson\Nygaard served as station access and station-area circulation lead on a study of the transit-oriented development potential of areas around stations on the Metro Orange Line. The Orange Line is a groundbreaking bus rapid transitway located mostly in a former freight rail right-of-way. It is paralleled for most of its length by a bicycle and pedestrian path. With more than 30,000 average weekday boardings, the Orange Line is the transit trunk line for the San Fernando Valley, providing connections from the Warner Center edge city in the west to the North Hollywood Red Line subway terminus in the east.

While the Orange Line is a high-quality transit facility, and its parallel path provides quality bike and pedestrian access to some stations, transportation conditions in station areas are mixed. Many stations are adjacent to arterial streets that can be time-consuming and unsafe to cross. Nearby bus stops are often across the street, sometimes down the street or even out of sight, and wayfinding signage is missing or inadequate. Streets often lack accommodations for cyclists, and there is not enough bicycle parking at stations. Finally, the Orange Line itself is operating at capacity.

Based on analysis of these conditions, Nelson\Nygaard identified and prioritized improvements to station access and station-area circulation for all 14 existing Orange Line stations. Higher-level recommendations were also issued at the corridor level, including concepts for expansion and extension of the Orange Line. All recommendations were designed to be supportive of and integrated with recommendations related to land use and urban design.

On a team led by Raimi + Associates, Nelson\Nygaard received an honorable mention by the Southern California Association of Governments Sustainability Awards in 2014.

San Francisco, CA SFSDUN Pilot Projects Implementation Assistance

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s SFSDUN program, which won the 2012 Institute for Transportation and Development Policy’s Sustainable Transport Award, aims to dramatically improve parking in San Francisco by testing best-practice parking management policies, techniques and supporting technologies. SFMTA received a Federal Urban Partnership Program grant, which required a robust evaluation of SFSDUN’s impacts, reaching beyond the rhetoric of “smarter parking” to understand true benefits.

SFMTA hired Nelson\Nygaard to help develop the SFSDUN Staff contribution program, which covers seven pilot and three control areas In addition to the firm’s work supporting SFƉĂƌŬ representing approximately 25% of San Francisco’s total pilot projects, Senior Associate Lauren Mattern public parking supply.

In 2013, the International Parking Institute recognized SFSDUN as the most innovative parking program in the U.S., and Harvard named it among the top 25 innovations in government. The project’s pilot evaluation, completed in 2014, found that SFSDUN achieved its key objectives: in the pilot areas, average parking rates decreased, parking availability improved, GHG emissions and vehicle miles traveled decreased, and it was easier to find a parking space, pay for parking, and avoid citations.

Montclair, CA Montclair Downtown Infrastructure and Streetscape Plan

Nelson\Nygaard served as transportation lead on an effort to develop conceptual designs for a more walkable, transit-oriented neighborhood in northern Montclair. Montclair is a suburban community east of Los Angeles. The study area includes both the city’s Metrolink commuter rail station (which is also a major bus terminal) as well as Montclair Place, a regional mall. An extension of the Los Angeles County Metro Rail Gold Line light rail line to Montclair has been proposed, and Montclair Place is planning a major expansion. Like similar communities, Montclair was largely built out in the postwar era, and both its street network and land uses are auto-oriented in design. The study area includes a number of wide, high-speed arterials that act as barriers to pedestrians and impact safety. Other than a bike path along the city’s northern border, there are no accommodations for cyclists, and multimodal access to the Metrolink (and potential future Gold Line) station is limited. Based on extensive analysis of existing conditions including both design and policy and consisting incorporating traffic volumes, collision rates and severity and other factors, Nelson\Nygaard contributed to conceptual redesigns of area streets and recommended other multimodal access and circulation improvements. Project Duration: 2016

Pomona, CA Pomona General Plan and Corridors Specific Plan

As a part of a larger team, Nelson\Nygaard helped the City of Pomona rethink its transportation systems, policy, and street design. The intent of the Corridors Specific Plan was to orchestrate private and public investment in the Garey Avenue, Holt Avenue, Mission Boulevard, and Foothill Boulevard corridors. As a part of that, Nelson\Nygaard led the community through rethinking the balance of cars, pedestrians, transit, and bikes in ways that will enhance the vitality of the City’s primary commercial corridors. The Specific Plan articulated the community’s vision for the evolution and continued growth of these corridors, and greater mobility options was a significant part of that vision. Through meetings with the public, stakeholders, agency partners, and City staff, the Team developed a vision for a fully multimodal core city that will improve mobility options and support transit-oriented development. The effort identified planned actions and investments that the community intends to implement on its streets as resources allow.

Gibson Transportation Consulting served as the transportation planners on a team with Sargent Town Planning, Raimi + Associates, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Metropolitan Research + Economics, and Meridian Consultants that prepared development standards and guidelines for Downtown San Fernando. The study area has excellent Metrolink service and is a potential station location for the California High Speed Rail service. Gibson Transportation Consulting examined existing conditions and assisted the team in the development of alternate land use plans to change the development patterns and densities of Downtown San Fernando. We tested the transportation implications of the various land use alternatives and worked with the team and City of San Fernando staff to narrow the alternatives to one that could be supported by the Downtown transportation system. Recommended street cross-sections, including considerations of complete streets design features, were tested in an environmental impact report analysis intended to mitigate significant transportation impacts. Gibson Transportation Consulting analyzed intersection and corridor capacities, on-street parking considerations, and vehicular and pedestrian flow patterns given the circulation constraints caused by the rail lines.

Firm Overview Incorporated in 1995, Applied EarthWorks, Inc. (Æ) is a certified small business with 58 regular full-time professional staff. Specializing in history, archaeology, architectural history, paleontology, and cultural resources management (CRM), few cultural resource consulting firms can match Æ’s corporate experience in southern California. Æ has extensive experience in southern California and has successfully completed more than 2,400 projects on behalf of governmental and private sector clients, earning a solid reputation for work completed on time and within budget. This work has included jobs of modest size as well as large, complex projects requiring many years of sustained effort. Æ is particularly well- qualified to provide cultural resources management (CRM) services, by virtue of extensive California experience; a solid understanding of CRM laws and regulations; consistent success in consultation with regulatory agencies; and a strong commitment to responsiveness. Æ possesses a thorough understanding of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and has prepared scores of cultural resources documents that comply with these state and federal environmental regulatory requirements. Its staff maintains excellent working relationships with the State Office of Historic Preservation, various land-management agencies, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and other Native American organizations. The company’s highest priority is to ensure client satisfaction through skilled consultation and the timely delivery of high-quality documentation that satisfies regulatory requirements. Our Applied EarthWorks, Inc. Office Locations archaeologists, historians, Corporate Headquarters anthropologists, geologists, 1391 West Shaw Avenue, Suite C, Fresno, California 93711 paleontologists, and other 3550 East Florida Ave, Suite H, Hemet, California 92544 specialists offer extensive experience in environmental 133 North San Gabriel Boulevard, Suite 201, Pasadena, California 91107 consulting, field and laboratory 743 Pacific Street, Suite A, San Luis Obispo, California 93401 research, project management, 515 East Ocean Avenue, Suite G, Lompoc, California 93436 and administration.

Firm Qualifications Æ understands that this will be an on-call contract with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Southern Service Area that may entail a full range of archaeological environmental services (including paleontological, historical, and Native American/tribal consultation) pertaining to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) including documents associated with Statutory and Categorical Exemptions, Initial Studies, Negative Declarations, Mitigated Negative Declarations, Environmental Impact Reports, and CDFW’s Certified Regulatory Programs. Several firms may be able to perform routine CRM services, but we believe none is as uniquely qualified as Æ to ensure that each product addresses and fulfills all compliance issues, is timely and cost effective, and satisfies CDFW’s other needs. Over the past 30 years Æ’s senior staff has come to learn that few CRM projects are routine, and it is in the departure from the routine where experience and novel approaches combine to assure successful project completion. Moreover, Æ is one of very few firms in southern California who have well-developed programs in historical and prehistoric archaeology, built environment, and paleontology. Beyond these qualifications, our proposed Project Archaeologist (Vanessa Mirro), Architectural Historian (Carrie Chasteen), and Project Paleontologist (Jessica DeBusk), have extensive experience in the successful management of large- and small-scale projects throughout southern California.

The SSI identified several areas of arsenic impacts on the football field and track which required cleanup under a Removal Action Workplan (RAW) and public participation program. The removal action was completed in advance of site construction. Additional soil impacts of arsenic were identified under the demolished bleachers and additional characterization and removal actions were expedited under the existing RAW procedures. An interim no further action was obtained from the DTSC and a Removal Action Closure Report was prepared for formal case closure.

Crabtree Group, Inc. (CGI) is a seventeen-year-old multi-disciplinary civil engineering firm with extensive experience in infrastructure, innovative stormwater management, watershed analysis and management, transportation networks, complete street designs and retrofits, grading and drainage, and water and wastewater systems.

An extensive knowledge and experience with traditional development patterns reinforces the firm’s ability to integrate infrastructure (water, water re-use, sewer, rainwater, streets, and dry utilities) with urbanism and livability. CGI projects have demonstrated that green infrastructure can outperform conventional infrastructure while reducing capital and operation costs.

CGI has been an innovative leader in the design of the natural and urban water cycle; including floodplain/hydrology/hydraulics, wetlands mitigation, experience with federal/state environmental/floodplain/wetland agencies, and low impact/light imprint/green infrastructure rainwater management practices.

Adequately addressing the triple bottom line of ecology, culture and economy requires skill at appropriate cost estimating for infrastructure, and the ability to rapidly estimate costs of various scenarios or alternatives, and CGI has developed proven protocols and skill sets to do that.

The CGI staff of five veterans (two PEs, PM, planner, designer) works on projects at all scales throughout the US and internationally - including Ecuador, Haiti, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia and the Philippines.

CGI was the Civil Engineer of record for two projects recipient of the Colorado Sustainable Design Award for 2011, and won a CNU Charter Award in 2010 for a Green Infrastructure Counter- Proposal.

Solutions: Several stakeholder meetings were held to determine ways that would make small possible. A Lean Threshold Matrix was developed that helps to reduce the burden on smaller developers.

116 C. PROPOSED BUDGET & SCHEDULE 1. Proposed Budget The budget presented on the following page represents our best estimate of the fees and expenses associated with the professional services outlined in Section B, above, and based on the hourly billing rates presented in Section D, below. This proposal is a firm offer to provide the services described in Section A of this proposal for the fees outlined below. This offer is good for 120 days, and we are willing to extend that time period in good faith if necessary. Consistent with the City’s expectations, as expressed in the orginial RFP and the subsequent Response to Requests for Information, the projected $469,670 cost of services does exceed the identified Metro grant budget of $418,000. Most of that $51,670 difference is associated with the $40,450 cost of the technical studies - geotechnical, geoenvironmental, cultural resources, and tree inventory - identified in the Response to Requests for Information. Assuming that the City can identify additional resources to fund those studies, we concur with the City’s inclination to include those studies in the EIR, to provide more information to decision-makers in considering this Plan, and to streamline subsequent environmental review for individual development proposals as an incentive for nearterm reinvestment. If selected we commit ourselves to working diligently with City staff to review and refine the scope of services to meet the City’s needs, and to develop, monitor and maintain a mutually agreed budget for completion of the work. 2. Proposed Schedule We have carefully reviewed the RFP and find that the schedule outlined therein is reasonable, based on our current understanding of the project requirements.
