City of Rosemead: Parks, Recreation and General Facilities Master Plan
Supplementary Work: Feasibility Study for Developing Public Open Space
and Trail, Southern California Edison Transmission Corridor
MDA Johnson Favaro is a full- service general practice with offices in Culver City, California
with over eighteen years of experience of planning and design and $500M in built project
projects in our portfolio. We have received design awards of national prestige and at the
same time take pride in our performance on the management and administration of complex
projects. We combine knowledge and practice in the areas of urban design, architecture and
landscape design to create well conceived and well crafted plans and buildings in harmony
with their natural and built environments.
Important collaborators on our team are the The Sports Management Group and Civic
Enterprise Development, with whom we worked with both on the City of Manhattan Beach
Community Facilities Strategic Plan and EPT Design, landscape architects with whom we
are working on Phase I of the implementation of the City of West Hollywood's West Hol-
lywood Park Master Plan.
This project presents an ideal fit to the skills in which our team excels and is of special
significance to us for a number of important reasons:
MDA Johnson Favaro's work in the last ten years has focused almost exclusively on
civic projects for public agencies. We bring a wealth of experience providing strategic
planning, site planning, urban design and pre- design, programming, space planning,
building design, cost estimation, technical coordination and construction administra-
tion for a variety of recreational, educational, cultural, performing arts and culinary arts
facilities including projects for the communities of West Hollywood, Manhattan Beach,
Beverly Hills, Pasadena, Chino, Fountain Valley and Isla Vista.
• We thrive on projects that are community based, collaborative and transparent and
are known for our ability to bring together diverse constituencies across communities
through effective outreach.
• We have repeatedly demonstrated success in the areas of visualization and presentation in
the municipal setting combining clarity in communication with the ability to inspire.
• Through our work communities with diverse, active and engaged constituents have
come together in consensus to not only support complex long term plans but to take
immediate action in implementing those plans.
• We are known for our commitment to design excellence, having in the last six years
garnered five AIA Design Awards from the Los Angeles Chapter, one of the most
competitive in the country.
The Sports Management Group focuses on feasibility studies, space programming, partner-
ships, economic analysis, design consulting, strategic planning, and the development of

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS
MDA Johnson Favaro Firm Profile
■ MDA Johnson Favaro is dedicated to high quality, well- cralted plans and buildings that
. contribute positively to the larger social and physical environment through the integration
of architecture, landscape, and urban design. In a time of excessive emphasis on
■ specialization, we believe in the value of comprehensively interrelating these disciplines.
No matter the starting point our goal — always —is to explore and enhance the uniqueness
■ of place. Thus, although our principles remain constant, the particulars of any project may
vary as they are inevitably conditioned by local circumstance.
■ Ours is a practice with a diverse range of projects that promotes a great variety of both
plans and buildings. Established in 1989 as a partnership, MDA Johnson Favaro has been
in business for nineteen years and has successfully executed over $500 million worth of
■ construction projects. In the performance of our services, we utilize research, innovative
design and disciplined project management to meet project: requirements and economics,
■ as well as to achieve state of the art technical excellence.
We contribute to the success of our clients' projects through rigorously tested practices
of project management, effective outreach methodologies and efficient, enjoyable client
■ relations. Our success depends on the creation of a well structured process within which
spontaneity and creativity thrive, while maintaining the discipline to adhere to project
budgets and schedules. Through effective listening and consistent communication it
is our goal always to create common vision through collaboration in an atmosphere
S of possibility— eliminating misunderstandings, false expectations and surprises —and
creating a sense of ownership on the part of everyone involved.
• The founding principals, Steve Johnson and Jim Favaro, resist undisciplined expansion of
. the practice on the philosophy that controlled growth, long term commitment to our staff
and the quality of our work is the most effective way to balance prosperity and excellence.
. Steve and Jim maintain intimate personal involvement in all the projects in the office while
effectively delegating to individuals with whom we have long term relationships in a fully
■ integrated, tested design process. In this way the longevity of our practice offers concrete
benefits to our clients in the form of experienced principals not otherwise consumed by
■ marketing, business development or excessive internal management. Long term, creative
relationships with our clients and high quality results are our most effective business de-
velopment tools.
■ Jim Favaro was the recipient of the Prix de Rome at the American Academy in Rome in
1985, received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1996 and the Wheel-
. wright Fellowship from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 1998. He was
the recipient of a Progressive Architecture Design Citation in 1982, one of the youngest to
■ have ever received such an award.
■ Steve Johnson received the Henry Adams AIA Gold Medal from the Harvard University
Graduate School of Design awarded to the top ranking student in the graduating class of 1983;
■ he received the SOM Traveling Fellowship while at Harvard and a grant from the Graham
Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts to study new typologies for housing in
■ Los Angeles in 1994. He received a Progressive Architecture Award for the Cedars Sinai
Cancer Center in Beverly Hills in 1988, and numerous AIA and PA awards since then.

■ General Facilities Master Plan project will be conducted is located at 5898 Blackwelder

The Sports Management Group Relevant Project Experience
The Sports Management Group is recognized nationally for its work in every aspect of plan-
ning and development of recreation, sports, aquatic and community facilities. Established in
1986, the firm's practice is dedicated to the needs ofcommunity recreation planning. Founder
Lauren Livingston has assembled an outstanding team of twelve specialists from each of
the critical areas relating to facility planning, programming, operations and economics.
The Sports Management Group's approach to each project is participatory and interactive.
We understand that the public process is key to the success of the project. We know that
consensus building is a function of how effectively community involvement is integrated
into the development of the plan. Although every community is different in its awareness
of planning issues and involvement in the process, two objectives must be achieved. First,
a level of trust must be established between the community and the consultant team, and
second, the expectations of the process must be clear and reinforced throughout the study.
We believe that through constructive community involvement, these key objectives can be
achieved. The Sports Management Group has provided similar services to over 300 com-
munities throughout the United States. Each of these projects was unique and our work with
each was individually tailored to address the specific needs of that client. With each project,
we work closely with staff to understand specific priorities and develop an appropriate ap-
proach that recognizes the political, social and cultural realities of the community.

EPT Design Relevant Project Experience
EPT Design is an award- winning, full - service landscape architecture firm with offices in
Los Angeles and Orange County. In nearly a half century of practice, we have completed

management, staffing, and cost issues. Our approach to projects is both passionate and
pragmatic with a strong emphasis on collaboration. Success is measured by the realization
of your goals and the gratification of creating environments that yield lasting rewards.
EPT Design has significant experience in civic design and planning. Whether drawing
on traditional Specific plans, streetscapes, design guidelines, urban design schemes that
we understand the critical role landscape plays in creating a distinct sense of character,
identity, and community. The following projects demonstrate the breadth and diversity of

■ PROJECT APPROACH
Urban Design & Planning in the Municipal Setting
A plan reflects a community's vision of itselfand its future. It conveys and supports this vision
through the planning, design and management of the physical environment. It is a vehicle
for building collaboration and consensus within a community on that community's shared
purpose and goals. And it is a practical guide for the achievement of those goals through
the development and improvement of the physical environment. The city's plan should be
rooted in its history, meaning, and vision of the future —and also in a detailed knowledge
of the physical environment. A good plan synthesizes the specific, concrete, and tangible
needs and parameters of a place with the less easily defined but no less real spirit of the
place. It is in this way that a successful plan reflects the culture of the area, and enhances
the unique character of the community.
The quality of a city's outdoor public spaces —its public squares, streets, parks, courtyards
and gardens —are the necessary infi-astructure which makes a city a place that is more than
the sum of its parts. These spaces foster communication and interconnection within a com-
munity by providing places for people to meet and interact and by promoting the sense that
city is a shared place. Open spaces are often more evocative and memorable than any one
individual building. Together these spaces form an integrated whole, the civic structure,
® which gives form to the public realm. Buildings, though, can make outdoor spaces more
legible, useful, memorable, and beautiful. An increase in architectural density, if arranged
with care and understanding, can strengthen and clarify a city's civic structure. A plan is a
vehicle to harness these changes and use them for the city's overall benefit.
0
Throughout the outreach and planning process, the design philosophy that underlies our
work will be fundamental —the idea that urban design and planning is a social art, whose
primary role is to create and define the public realm. We believe that the planning process
succeeds when it brings together an in -depth understanding of the needs and desires of all of
the community's constituents within a thoroughly developed and shared vision of excellence.
The pragmatics of an urban plan can be accomplished dutifully by many experienced firms.
Marketing analysis, population projections, circulation, parking, environmental and historical
analysis, development criteria all must be thoroughly researched and carefully addressed.
But the plan must do more than address numerical and factual issues, for it must inspire a
groundswell of enthusiasm within the community and its political leadership.
Our approach to planning is cyclical, collaborative and iterative. The key to success is
threefold:
1) Understand the goals, purposes and vision of the community.
2) Talk early and often with the community's constituents, stakeholders,
interest groups and representatives.
3) Test what you hear by producing physical alternatives.
The planning process must address both "private" and "public" interests. Each active par-
ticipant must be involved with all phases, and accept responsibility for the implications and
effects of their individual agendas. All must pledge to serve the good of the whole. And
private agendas must be tempered with respect for the public good —for the promotion,
development, and quality of the community as a whole.

Visual Intelligence
It is the conviction of this practice that planning and architecture are at the cusp of a new
and promising era in Southern California. The increasingly sophisticated involvement of
public agencies and communities in planning and design and their growing consciousness
that sound planning and community involvement work together to further the interests of
both the public and private realms have set the stage for a more positive, cooperative and
effective planning environment.
We are uniquely positioned to assist our clients to flourish within this evolving new world
having developed over the long term a practice dedicated to the principle that urban design,
landscape design and architecture in the context of sound financial planning and effective
outreach are inexpendable in the successful stewardship of public sector planning and de-
velopment.
It is our philosophy that the unpredictability of the planning and development process can
be minimized through serious research and study— through drawing and outreach —up front
and before burdensome financial investment in any given project is necessary. The roles that
urban design and planning through visualization and the related feasibility study play in the
creation of predictability is key, the physical form of such studies crucial.
The creation of visual materials in the form of diagrams, perspectives, renderings and
models is the most effective way to navigate the complexities of any given project, to most
effectively communicate ideas and to predict the challenges and obstacles of project for all
interested parties before they happen. These are the tools which more than any other create
common vision and shared expectations and the resulting minimization of unpredictability
in the process. No master plan, design concept or project pro forma should be created in
the absence of such crucial visualization and related preparatory work.
Across California planning and zoning ordinances, design review boards, codes, covenants
and restrictions have been driven more than ever by a sense of frustration with the failures of
planning and development and the quality of the architecture built since 1970 —and in most
cases, rightly so. However well intentioned these efforts were they were and are the wrong
solutions for what is a far more complex and subtle challenge —a challenge that requires a
kind of professionalism that is reliant less on legal formulas, numbers, charts and written
materials and more invested in visual thinking---a kind of thinking of which most of us are
unaware or dismissive and by which a lot of us are intimidated.
It is clear to us that progress will be made when we as communities and participants in the
creation of the built environment communicate through visualization —and that community
planning will only improve when such practices are integrated into the process.
Visualization in the context of comprehensive analysis and wisdom gained through hands -on
planning and building experience is the foundation upon which our practice is built. We are
poised for those willing to rise to the real challenges of our institutions and cities today and
the limitless opportunities those challenges afford to invest our skills and our knowledge to
their fullest in the realization of our clients'" and communities' highest aspirations.

Effective Outreach
Effective outreach is critical to both the creative process and its outcome. Our experience in
the stewardship of complex planning and building projects in the municipal and institutional
settings for public agencies is extensive.
Our philosophy of outreach is based on the conviction that:
a) Listening on our part is fundamental to the purpose of outreach; and
b) Presentations in large group formats, public forums and workshops as well as presen-
tations to regulatory boards and agencies are most effective when preceded by a rigorous
and thorough airing process in small groups and one -on -one interviews with the core
users, the core client group(s) and those regulatory agencies and stakeholders most
closely affected by or influencing the outcome of the project.
■
Only upon verification of the project's program, budget, overall planning strategy, design
direction and viability at the more personal, individual and intimate level of interaction with
leadership, stakeholders and interest groups can the project be "rolled out" into increasingly
expanding public venues. Complex conversations are possible in small groups; as the group
grows the conversation must by necessity simplify.
What distinguishes effective outreach from just "going through the motions" are the fol-
lowing:
i ) Sound preparation on the part ofthe design team such that visual materials, background
research and documentation are created to give structure to conversations throughout the
process. The submission of an agenda that organizes each interaction well beforehand
allows the participants to gather their own thoughts in preparation for the meeting.
2) The ability of the design team to draw out pertinent information from the stakeholder
is critical and besides listening well, depends on the quality of questioning brought
to the table. Everyone is afforded the freedom to speak freely and is encouraged to do
so; however, the design team must have the ability to understand which information
is pertinent to the subject at hand, which will have influence on the direction of a plan
or design. Only through thoughtful questioning and "reading between the lines" does
productive communication take place. It is important, therefore, that the principals
directing the work back in the studio are present at these interactions.
3) Comprehensive meeting notes and visual documentation that record generally and
specifically each interaction are critical to forwarding the process. The notes and doc-
umentation afford the stakeholder the ability to verify that we heard what we said, that
the stakeholder said what he /she meant and /or that the stakeholder wishes to amend
and/or delete or modify what was said.

Community -Based Participation: The Role of the Presentation
Effective outreach requires, among other things, the ability to make complex concepts simple,
to build consensus across a community with a wide range of interests and priorities, and
in the process inspire the community and its leadership to act. The following are examples
of presentations in a public setting that were only part of a larger program of outreach, but
which are nevertheless representative of the kinds of communication that are components
of successful outreach.
1. County of Fresno Health & Social Services Campus Master Plan
This 30 minute presentation to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Fresno was
presented to an audience of over 200 (and many more via video) consisting of a diverse
group of constituents and community members from across the County and City of Fresno
on September 27, 2005. It represents a summary of the results of the Reconnaissance &;
Analysis phase of the comprehensive master plan for the County's 32 -acre site in which
1,000,000 SF and 4,500 parking spaces are to be accommodated within a residential area
of east Fresno. The presentation is the culmination of a three month outreach process and
was given in various forms to a variety of audiences including County staff, neighborhood
groups and regulatory authorities over the course of the three month phase. it summarizes
the "facts on the ground" and preliminary speculations for both a shared vision and point of
departure for the subsequent development of the master plan which will be accomplished
in the next phase "Option Development" currently underway. The presentation is both
analytical and visual in nature maximizing clarity and logic on the one hand and inspiring,
consensus building imagery on the other.
2. Manhattan Beach Facilities & Open Space Strategic Plan
This 45 minute presentation to the City Council and four of the City's Commissions—Plan-
ning, Parks and Recreation, Cultural, Library and Public Works — summarized the four
month first phase of this comprehensive planning project for the City that began in July
2006 and will conclude in September 2007. The plan lays out a strategy for the long term
redevelopment of four of the City's parks and the replacement and expansion of most of
their existing community and recreation facilities including their new library, a new aquat-
ics center, indoor recreation center, multipurpose community center, a senior center, teen
center, skate park, community theater and visual arts center. it is the largest capital project
in the City's history. The presentation summarized the findings of the Reconnaissance and
Analysis phase of the project which consisted of an assessment of their existing facilities, a
comprehensive needs assessment outlining program needs for new and expanded facilities
and an extensive program of community outreach which included over sixty meetings with
stakeholders in the outcome of the process as well as interest groups such as community and
business organizations. This presentation is only one of many that have been given in a variety
of settings and formats to a wide spectrum of audiences throughout the course of the project.
3. City of West Hollywood Municipal Library
This 40 minute presentation was delivered at a community forum during the initial stages
of the design of the City's new 32,000 SF library, public meeting room, cable television
station and municipal parking garage in West Hollywood Park which will begin construc-
tion in 2008. The presentation was given as a prelude to small group discussions and large
group report back in which the basic tenets ofthe design of the library, its program elements,
configuration, character and identity were considered and evaluated by the community. The
presentation laid out the requirements of the building program, the challenges and oppor-
tunities of the site, the variety of approaches to the design of the building including how
one creates a civic building in a neighborhood and City that is heterogeneous in nature. The
Purpose of the presentation was to make the design process transparent for the community,
allow for authentic participation in the development of the design and to all of those with
an interest in voicing how the building will work and how it will look.

Overview of the Workplan and Schedule
Our workplan is founded upon a three phase process that spans not less than twelve months
nor more than sixteen and which incorporates the scope of work outlined in the original
RFP dated October 15, 2008.
The first phase, Reconnaissance and Analysis, consists of research, interviews with key
constituencies and physical, operational and fiscal analysis. Observations, goals and pri-
orites are articulated at the conclusion of this phase. The next phase, Option Development
is the most dynamic of the phases during which options are hypothesized, added, deleted,
combined, edited and refined. At its conclusion a preferred option or options and a roadmap
for their achievement (referred to as the "Action Plan" in the RFP) are articulated. The last
phase Final Documentation, records in final comprehensive form, both graphic and narrative,
the preferred option(s) including planning and zoning documentation, design concepts, and
accompanying physical, operational and fiscal analysis.
The Program of Outreach is fully integrated into the work plan and occurs throughout all
phases of the project.

The Major Candidate Sites The existing library site in the Civic Center, the "south panhandle " ofLive Oak Park, Polliwog Park and MBUSD owned sites adjacent
to Polliwog Park, portions of Manhattan Heights Park and Marine Avenue Park are candidate sites for the location of new community recreation facilities.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES STRATEGIC PLAN
Manhattan Beach, CA
MDA Johnson Favaro was retained by the City of Manhattan
Beach in 2006 to assist in the creation of a comprehensive
and long term vision and master plan for community and
recreation facilities on various park sites within the City.
Included in the scope of the project is a strategy for the planning,
design and construction of renovated, expanded and/or new fa-
cilities on these sites as part of a Phase I implementation effort.
The Phase I plan is based on comprehensive community outreach
and a needs assessment identified the community's highest pri-
orities. It includes an outline building program and detailed cost
estimate for each community and recreation facility deemed to
be of highest priority. These include: a new municipal library,
aquatics center, multipurpose community meeting center,
multipurpose indoor recreation center, a senior center, teen
center, skate park, community theater and visual arts center.
The plan also includes strategies for the redevelopment of the
City's two major parks, Live Oak Park at the heart of its down-
town Civic Center neighborhood and the 18 -acre Polliwog Park
on the east side of town. At a total cost of $185M the plan is the
largest capital improvements project in the history of the City.

Geographic Suitability Cultural and community meeting and activity facilities are
most appropriately located downtown. Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities
are most appropriately located east of Sepulveda.

Facilities at the End of Their Useful Lives. Approximately half of the facilities
within the city 's portfolio were built before 1970. They have received little to no
upgrade since then and suffer systems degradation, widespread code violations,
water intrusion, structural disrepair and other serious defects. These defects
call into question not only their use to the community but also their safety; and,
because of constant upkeep and routine repairs required to keep them minimally
operational they have become uneconomical to maintain. Furthermore, most
of them are severely inadequate in size and inefficiently configured so as to
prohibit the effective delivery of comprehensive programs and services to the
community of Manhattan Beach that are commensurate with standards of best
practices nationally, regionally and locally.
Begg Pool.
Begg Pool Site Plan The pool is unsafe in several ways: it is too shallow, the
plaster hasfailed, the concrete deck has buckled and cracked, the pool equipment
isfailing, the locker rooms lack adequate ventilation and daylight. Thefacility is
remote in location, inaccessible, fenced in with chain linkfence and an imposition
on Polliwog park. It is served by parking on old basketball courts that were
part of the former Manhattan Beach Intermediate School campus accessed via
a substandard and dangerously steep driveway.

Facilities Inadequate in Size & Configuration. Approximately half of the facili-
ties within the city 's portfolio were built or renovated after 1970 and are in a
moderately stable state of repair. These facilities are structurally sound, with
systems that are reasonably intact and they could expect to last another ten or
,fifteen years without having to incur severe emergency maintenance and repair
costs. However, all of them are inadequate in size and inefficiently configured
so as to prohibit the effective delivery of comprehensive programs and services
to the community of Manhattan Beach that are commensurate with standards of
best practices nationally regionally and locally. The library especially suffers
from a lack ofspace, acoustical conflicts and an inability to provide programming
that is routinely a part of the life of a typical contemporary community library
in communities within the Los Angeles County library system.
The Library as Seen From Highland Avenue.
Ellsung canmtlom
Library Floor Plan Both the adult and children's libraries are undersized and
inadequately separated so that there are constant conflicts in the daily operations
of these two key components of a fully functioning community library The library
lacks space and the ability to provide programming that is standard practice in
the contemporary community library and as such is dramatically under utilized.
A library is typically a galvanizer of a community while this one by virtue of its
limitations is somewhat marginalized in the daily life of Manhattan Beach.

Live Oak Park Completion. Completion of the facilities at the south end of the park requires the removal of the Joslyn Center.
LIVE OAK PARK MASTER FLAN
Manhattan Beach, CA
The master plan for Live Oak Park is part of the comprehensive
Facilities Strategic Plan for the City of Manhattan Beach. It calls
for the removal of all existing community facilities in the park,
the relocation of one ball field and the expansion of park open
space. A new building is proposed for the south panhandle of
the park closest to the Civic Center in the heart of downtown
Manhattan Beach. It consists of three parts arranged around a
common courtyard: a 28,000 SF library, 22,000 SF community
center and 5,000 SF senior center. The co- location of these facili-
ties on a site adjacent to the park is seen as mutually beneficial
to all three components of the facility and the park. Locating
children and seniors — traditionally the heaviest users of libraries
and park— together in one facility with ample nearby meeting
space invests life into all three of the building's components. This
maximizes benefits not only to those two key constituencies but to
the community as a whole. Parking is provided in a subterranean
facility below the building and not the park. The plan allows for
phased implementation beginning with the library and finishing
with the senior and community centers.

Polliwog Park Master Plan. Indoor recreation and aquatics are consolidated along the west side ofthepark. Askate park and teen center are located on underutilized
sites within the park adjacent to the middle school. New ball fields and expanded park open space will be located where buildings currently occupy key sites.
POLLIWOG PARK MASTER PLAN
Manhattan Beach, CA
The master plan for Polliwog Park is part of the comprehensive
Facilities Strategic Plan for the City of Manhattan Beach. It
calls for the placement of a single 60,000 SF building at the
edge of the existing 18 -acre park in which are housed the full
compliment of indoor recreation facilties including a two -court
gymnasium, exercise pool, short term child care, concessions,
multi - purpose meeting rooms and classrooms, community event
rooms, aerobics and fitness studios and support spaces. Along
side this facility are located an outdoor all -deep fitness pool and
family recreation pool.
Within the park itself are located new ball fields, a skate park,
teen center and expanded park open space. The existing botani-
cal gardens stay in place. Parking is provided below the indoor
recreation facility and along side the widened and enhanced Peck
Avenue right -of -way that forms the west boundary of the park.

City of West Hollywood, West Hollywood Park Master Plan Hew of the Park
WEST HOLLYWOOD PARK MASTER FLAN
West Hollywood, CA
The City of West Hollywood seeks to expand and enhance both
the quantity and the quality of its public open space. Its parks
are considered a critical asset as a shared, civic amenity. West
Hollywood Park is one of the city's few existing parks and criti-
cal in delivering services to the people of West Hollywood in
the form of children's programs, athletic programs and facilities
such as aquatics, tennis and softball, senior citizens' programs,
festivals, fairs and exhibitions. In an urbanizing metropolitan
environment with a lack of planned civic space a key challenge
of this master plan is the reconciliation of the many demands
made on the park balancing the need for increased civic open
space with the need for facilities that provide basic services and
amenities such as the swimming pool, courts and fields, and
playgrounds. Most significantly the park will be home to a new
municipal library and parking garage, whose site within the park
is a driving strategic and formal choice in shaping both the
library, the park, their relationship with each other and with the
surrounding social and physical fabric.

Isla Vista Community Center
ESTERO PARK ROASTER PLAN & COMMUNITY CENTER r
Isla Vista, CA
This project consisted of an initial pre - design phase which included
a master plan for Estero Park, a detailed building program for the
Isla Vista Community Center and a conceptual cost estimate for
the construction project. The planning of the park and the com-
munity center was a multifaceted, interactive and collaborative
community driven process.
The project included a master plan for Estero Park in which
both the expanded park, open space and the outdoor recreational
facilities as well as the siting of the community center with sensi-
tivity to the surrounding neighborhood, played an important role.
Recreational facilities include a soccer field, basketball courts
Model View
and a skate park among others. Vehicular access and parking will
also influence the park plan and siting of the community center.
The community center will consist of an 18,000 SF community
Construction Budget: $8M
library, a 3,000 SF teen center operated by the local YMCA and
Project Date: 2005
a 8,000 SF multipurpose hall and support facilities.

Plummer Park Master Plan
PLUMMER PARK MASTER FLAN
West Hollywood, CA
_
M r-. 3 ill
}r-
Over the years the 8- acre Plummer Park had grown to become a
disjointed labyrinth of small open spaces, basketball and tennis
courts, and community buildings. The park's amenities were
disconnected from each other, creating a haphazard overall de-
sign and sense of isolation from the surrounding neighborhood.
The goals of the master plan are 1) to dramatically increase the
quantity and quality of open space and 2) to provide overall co-
hesion within the park while improving its relationships with
the surrounding neighborhood. In so doing the plan needed to
both increase opportunities for future recreation and community
facilities and provide a roadmap for future growth. Major unin-
terrupted open space has been consolidated into a central Great
Lawn providing space for unprogrammed recreational use as well
visual relief within the park. The plan includes the creation of an
integrated network of paths and promenades across the park and
a water fountain at the heart of the park. The plan calls for the
appropriation of three commercial properties along Santa Monica
Boulevard for the creation of a linear public garden along the
boulevard as a foreground to future new community facilities.
Parking is concentrated at the north and south ends of the park.

PACIFIC AT ZOE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN
Huntington Park, CA
Scope: 15 Acres; 615,000 SF of Retail with Four 2 -Story Anchors; 31,000 SF of Movie
Theaters; New Parking for 1,700 Spaces
MDA Johnson Favaro is working with Forest City Development on this
redevelopment of eight blocks of downtown Huntington Park, a city once
predominantly white, then african- american and now hispanic. Home to one of
the most vital commercial districts in all of Southern California this eight block
district commands some of the highest rents in the Los Angeles metropolitan
area. The plan narrows Pacific Boulevard to a two lane road with left turn lane,
on -street parking and widens the sidewalks in some areas to as much as 40 feet
with flanking double alleys of trees. The existing Wamer Theater is preserved
as are other significant historic structures from pre -WWII era. A pedestrian
oriented scale is afforded by creating a network of through -block walk streets
within the large blocks.

THE SUNSET STRIP PILOT STUDY
West Hollywood, CA
Scope: Sunset Boulevard Between Crescent Heights and Doheny
One of the most well known streets in the world Sunset Boulevard is mainly auto
oriented and famous for its billboards and tall walls, one of the most compelling
images of urban America of the 20th Century. This project is directed toward
the greening of the boulevard, enhancing its vehicular character with strategies
to create a more pedestrian sensitive street while maintaining the visual drama
of its commercial life. The typical strategy of street trees has been replaced
with a more complex, multidimensional strategy that includes outcroppings of
palm and cypress groves, topiary, hip -high hedges, pocket parks, and landscape
enhancement of the billboards themselves in the form of living picture frames.
Sidewalk enhancement, lighting, artwork and furnishings are part of the plan.

Scope: Master Planning
■
The City of San Carlos retained the team of Harris Design and The Sports
Management Group to develop a comprehensive master plan for its parks,
open space, and community facilities. The master plan established immediate,
■
intermediate, and long -term direction for all of the City parks, open space,
trails, athletic fields, and courts and indoor facilities. The City requested a living
master plan that identified priorities and is adaptable to funding opportunities
■
that may become available. The City created a Parks and Recreation Foundation
and the master plan identified the kick -off project and subsequent projects for
.
the Foundations fundraising efforts.
.
The Sports Management Group performed the needs assessment, market
analysis, assessment of programs and facilities, and developed space programs
■
and recommendations for new facilities. This information was developed
.
into action plans and implementation strategies to guide the City Parks and

SAN MATEO MASTER PLAN
®
San Mateo, CA
Scope: Facility Assessment, Master Planning
■
The City of San Mateo extensive parks and recreation facilities were designed
■
and built nearly four decades ago. For many years the City had enjoyed a
reputation for the high quality and diversity of its facilities. Park and recreation
facilities were distributed throughout the community and designed to serve
■
"districts ". As the population grew to 92,000 and as recreation demand
increased and changed, City's funding of the facilities could not keep pace. The
City needed a plan for the future of these facilities and to identify the facilities
■
needed to serve residents for the next 40 years. The Sports Management Group
assessed the condition of the existing facilities, analyzed the programs, identify
■
options for improving or expanding existing facilities and parks, and developed
recommendations for a new "jewel" facility that would replace several of the
district facilities that had reached the end of their useful life. The study included
■
identifying potential sites and studying the capacity of those sites for new
facilities. The master plan addressed the larger planning issues of maximizing
the value of the existing assets, developing a service delivery model that was
economically viable, and developing space programs and implementation
strategies for facility upgrades and a new center. The planning considered
■
the acquisition of the Bay Meadows Horse Racing Track for residential infill
housing and a park and an aquatics and wellness center in the center of this
built -out community.

Management Group was invited to play a special role in both the planning
and management of this Olympic spectacle. The Sports Management Group
provided operational planning services and site design for five venues used
for eight Olympic events. The Olympic events included Equestrian, Mountain
Biking, and the Modem Pentathlon at the Georgia International Horse Park;
Basketball and Gymnastics at the Georgia Dome; Volleyball at the Omni
Coliseum; Softball at Columbus Golden Park; and Badminton at Georgia State
University. For nearly two years, The Sports Management Group worked on the
event operational planning of five venues for the Centennial Olympic Games
in Atlanta.
At the conclusion of the Olympic Games the City of Conyers retained The
Sports Management Group to prepare an economic analysis for the adaptive re-
use of the existing and potential new facilities at the Horse Park. Work included
identifying potential commercial and recreational uses for the park, developing
space programs and cost estimates for proposed facility modifications to support
those uses, establishing user fees, identifying revenue potential from user fees
and lease agreements, and working with the City and potential investors
regarding the financial feasibility of future operation of the Horse Park.

SHELDON ARLETA PARK

Sun Valley, CA
.
Scope: Schematic Design; Design Development; Construction Documentation; Con-
.
struction Observation
Sheldon Arleta Park, currently in design, will be one of the largest sports parks
■
in the City of Los Angeles when it is completed. Located on a 40 -acre former
®
landfill site in Sun Valley, the park will include two basketball courts, fields
for soccer, baseball, and softball, as well as play and picnic areas, and a trail
■
system. The landscape plan references the rich agricultural history of the San
Fernando region through the layout of the playing fields and the citrus groves
placed at the perimeter of the park. The large grassy hills developed for walking
■
and hiking are inspired by the relationship of the site to the adjacent foothills.

BONITA CANYON SPORTS PARK
Newport Beach, CA
Scope: Schematic Design; Design Development; Construction Documentation; Con-
struction Observation
This 40 -acre sports park on the Newport Beach/Irvine border features four
■
baseball fields, seven soccer fields, tennis and basketball courts, on -site parking,
restroom facilities, and open space. The park was designed to minimize the
■
negative impact, such as noise and parking, on area residents who were heavily
involved in the process. Challenges included the constraints presented by the
footprint of the long linear site and the need to connect the new Bonita Village
■
development to an existing pedestrian pathway system.

ELK MINI PARK
Glendale, CA
.
Scope: Schematic Design; Design Development; Construction Documentation
.
The City of Glendale has embarked on a program to provide parks in historic
neighborhoods undergoing rapid densification. These parks serve to strengthen
neighborhood identity, provide much needed play space for children living in
®
apartments, and serve a cultural need for daily gathering space. The craftsman
theme for Elk Park was derived from the dominance of craftsman architecture
■
in the surrounding single family homes. Signage, trellis, walls, railings,
lighting, furnishings and paving (featuring the work of local artist William
Crite) marry the theme to the site.

Lake Elsinore, CA
Scope: Site Planning; Preliminary Design; Construction Documentation; Construction
Observation
The Lake Elsinore Diamond, situated at the south edge of the lake, is home to
the minor league baseball team the Lake Elsinore Storm. EPTDESIGN was
responsible for all site design and master planning/ streetscapes on the 19 -acre
parcel. The theme of "a day at the park" is enforced by the landscape features
including a plaza and formal pedestrian promenade with themed lighting,
benches, colored concrete and brick paving, topiary baseball players, and tree -
lined alleys.
