Our staff has a deep understanding of housing law gained through experience working in multiple jurisdictions. Many years of writing and implementing development standards for zoning ordinances, Specific Plans and other development instruments has helped us to recognize the challenges of achieving housing density. 3 CSCM CONSULTANTS ,�...I� �I�'C ✓; �:P.IvC I� , .1_',t `i�rP� PrTient c N, ,o, CSG is committed to providing grant management and administrative services geared to the City's needs and grant program requirements. It is our understanding that the City is seeking qualified consultants with strengths in community engagement and technical understanding of housing density as it relates to development standards and geography. CSG has planning and environmental staff available to assist the City in preparing housing ordinances, comprehensive zoning regulations diagnosis and analysis, and creating an action strategy to assist the City in meeting the RHNA obligations for the current Fifth Cycle and upcoming Sixth Cycle of the Housing Element, as outlined in the City's RFP. Our staff work on complex development and regulatory projects involving housing density and development standards, and grant administration services on behalf of local agencies. Ethan Edwards, AICP will oversee all staff proposed for this project; Gena Guisar, AICP, and Michael Laughlin, AICP, will serve as the co -Project Managers, by allocating appropriate levels of resources to this contract and ensuring that work is comprehensive, thorough and meets the City and HCD/US HUD deadlines. Our management team of senior professionals will collaborate with City staff to ensure continuous coordination of our proposed services. They will work closely with CSG staff to confirm documents are internally consistent and meet the HCD SB2 grant requirements. Housing Background CSG has assisted cities with their Housing Element in many capacities in recent years. These efforts included such tasks as identifying housing production constraints, creating site inventories, assessing housing programs, evaluating household characteristics, updating housing affordability information, and analyzing their land use overall. We have also been instrumental in their public engagement programs at various stages throughout the update process. CSG staff also have decades of urban design experience that equip us with the tools to responsibly maximize residential density. Our design experience includes large-scale master planning, site -specific site planning, infil site design and downtown/mainstreet design, among others. We have written Master Plan documents, small lot ordinances, form based codes, Specific Plans and planned unit development documents for large and small residential and mixed projects most recently in jurisdictions such as Bakersfield, Clovis, Ontario, Riverside City and County, Imperial County, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Scottsdale, Yucaipa, Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Orange County, among others. Understanding the nuts and bolts of realistic residential densities is one key to formulating policies that form the framework on which higher densities rely. Density for the sake of density is counterproductive. Market rate housing must be marketable. Affordable housing must be livable and fit into the community fabric. Housing projects that achieve density by sacrificing quality are unsuccessful. These are ideas we always keep in mind in our approach to any housing -related project. Grant Management Background CSG staff has worked a variety of CDBG funded housing programs, facility improvements, and economic development projects. Project implementation have included a variety of tasks for our staff, for example, housing redevelopment and expansions, disaster recovery loan funding projects following regional flooding events, economic development efforts, and infrastructure improvements related to replacing or installing new water and sewer lines. We have prepared notices and CDBG funding applications, along with the necessary level of environmental documentation. Depending on the type of CDBG funded projects, we have prepared Categorical Exclusions or Environmental Assessments, pursuant to US HUD's NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) requirements. Some of our project experience has also included adhering to Davis Bacon Act requisites, such as on-the-job employee interviews and preparation of the necessary forms; developing and instituting program guidelines; preparing reports as well as reporting to HCD and US HUD. 4 CSG''CONSULTANTS With experience in grant management and administration, and good working relationships and communication with HCD, we believe that we can assist with management, community outreach, budget tracking, progress report submittals, and grant closeout tasks. As examples of our varied internal expertise: Met with federal agency grant managers on a bi-annual or annual basis to track and review grant progress for CDBG funded programs; Participated in continuing training programs presented by state and federal funding agency; 0 Canvassed minority, low-income and disadvantaged communities to identify resident needs, alert residents about upcoming construction activities, or even to provide a project presence for residents to communicate and interact with during a project; P Conducted on -site Davis Bacon Act interviews for workers on grant funded infrastructure projects. Specific areas of past grant experience have included: P Housing improvement P Sustainable Transportation Planning including Sustainable Communities and Strategic Partnership Grants P Homelessness and Housing Safe Routes to Schools P Water/sewer/wastewater improvements P Brownfields site assessments P Small business assistance P Agriculture services P Roadway improvements/signalization Project Management Experience Our project management philosophy is built upon the anticipation of, and preparation for, all issues that may arise throughout any part of a project process. As planners, our staff excel in conducting and synthesizing background research; responding to public and client responses; and solving complex issues. As project managers, our team is aware of the importance in developing a feasible project timeline, identifying grant submittals, adhering to reporting milestones, and developing relationships with grantor agency staff.

We understand that the Project consists of two related parts to comply with the SB2 grant obligations, which are identified as Project # la-c, and as Project #2a-b, respectively here and within the proposed Project Timeline provided in Section 4. Project 1a: Density Bonus Ordinance CSG will begin the task of preparing a Density Bonus for the City by reviewing State Law and other recently adopted ordinances within the state to determine best practices. CSG will analyze how various aspects of the Density Bonus ordinance will impact the City and prepare an informational report for City Staff to provide direction on aspects of the ordinance where the City has latitude in provisions. Outreach on this ordinance will be concurrent with the SRO and Transitional and Supportive Housing Ordinance. Once community and decision maker input are received, an ordinance and staff report will be prepared for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. A PowerPoint presentation explaining the ordinance will be prepared. A CEQA exemption will be prepared and filed for the ordinance. Deliverables: Informational Report P Community Meeting and Outreach (combined with other ordinances and Project 2) Staff Report and Ordinance PowerPoint Presentation P CEQA Exemption Assumptions: 0 Budget assumes Community outreach through social media and other means agreed upon with the City through an outreach plan, One Planning Commission Study Session, and one City Council meeting. Project 1b: SRO Ordinance CSG will begin the task of preparing an SRO Ordinance for the City by reviewing other recently adopted ordinances within the state to determine best practices and which types of ordinance provisions may be appropriate for the City. In addition, research will be conducted to determine local needs and existing support services available. CSG will analyze existing zoning to determine which locations within the City may be most appropriate for SRO units and best practices for facilitating this type of housing development. CSG will prepare an informational report which includes recommendations for locations and development standards for City Staff to provide direction on aspects of the ordinance. Outreach on this ordinance will be concurrent with the Density Bonus and Transitional and Supportive Housing Ordinance. Once community and decision maker input are received, an ordinance and staff report will be prepared for consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. Depending on the approach agreed upon with the City, the ordinance may be combined with the Transitional and Supportive Housing Ordinance. A PowerPoint presentation explaining the ordinance will be prepared. A CEQA exemption will be prepared and filed for the ordinance.

Project 2a: Zoning Regulations Analysis The City of El Segundo is facing an unprecedented demand for new units. Other than magically finding patches of vacant land in a built -out city, one method for meeting RHNA obligations is through increasing density maximums within established zoning designations. As planners and designers, CSG understands that development standards help dictate maximum densities. Smaller minimum lot sizes typically equate to increased density, however reducing standards across the board will not help a city achieve their density goals without safeguards in place to ensure quality development. As part of project 2a, Zoning Regulations Analysis, CSG will dissect the development standards within the zoning code and applicable Specific Plans to determine how each requirement, or combination of 20 CONSULTANTS 1 Agreement iNo.� 598& requirements, stifles density. We will review and analyze each zoning designation and back into a potential maximum density for each category. We will then systematically scrutinize each design requirement to understand the change needed to exceed the density threshold. Our exploration will include, but will not be limited to, lot size, unit size, parking, height, setbacks, lot coverage, open space (private and common), frontage, and allowable encroachments. Other site design criteria will also be considered. For example, we will determine whether alternative site layouts such as clustered, paired, and/or courtyard development is permitted. We will also review infrastructure requirements, such as road widths and utility easements/placement. We will synthesize our findings into a report clearly identifying and explaining the various impediments to density. We will then propose changes to development standards (reduced setbacks, increased maximum height, smaller lot sizes, etc.) and/or options (overlay zones, straightforward and/or streamlined entitlement for Planned Unit Development, reduced ROWS private roads, etc.) that will result in the optimum density for each zoning designation. The probable effects of each proposed change and/or option will be outlined as part of this task, including a description of the required coordination with other City departments (Public Works, Fire, etc.). Project 2b: Comprehensive RHNA Sites Inventory Analysis/RHNA Action Strategy CSG will initiate Project 2b by first analyzing the site inventory from the 2014 Housing Element update. We will determine and document what changes have occurred since the previous update. Next, we will identify residential areas that would be appropriate for up -zoning. Potential density resulting from the up -zone will be calculated for each site, using a general rule of thumb of assuming 70 percent developable land (net of roads, parking, open space and infrastructure). As part of this task we will analyze the current General Plan and Strategic Plan to understand any policies or mandates in support or in opposition to intensified density. We will create a scoring system describing each site's suitability for up -zoning. Scoring variables will include, but not be limited to, size, total number of parcels, parcel configuration(s), location (downtown, within a specific plan, etc.), surrounding uses, demographics, existing use(s) and other site characteristics (slope, existing landscape, etc.). Sites in areas close to shopping, services, schools and jobs will be recommended for prioritized intensification. We will create a map identifying all sites evaluated. Project 2b will also include a public outreach plan to help gain consensus regarding the need for housing and, therefore, up -zoning. We will first work with the City to develop a clear message to the community. The message will describe the City's legal obligation to provide housing and the benefits housing may bring to the community. Next, we will coordinate with the City to create a public outreach plan which will include methods for reaching residents, businessowners and other stakeholders in the City. We understand that due to COVID-19 distancing requirements, there may be a need for multiple small format in -person meetings combined with virtual meetings and social media outreach. The outreach plan will endeavor to provide formats that are safe, yet convenient for the community. Finally, if it is determined that up -zoning alone is inadequate to fulfill the City's RHNA obligation, we will prepare at outline of development standards for a new R-4 zone. 21 CSG MN.S, R I AN F.
