ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, INTERIM CITY MANAGER 04 ~ 00.-
DATE: June 26, 2007
SUBJECT: COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING SERVICES (CPS) CONTRACT AGREEMENT
SUMMARY
The City has received an application from a developer who is proposing to develop a
mixed use project consisting of 10,586 square feet of retail space and 38 attached
condominium units at the south east corner of Valley Blvd and Rio Hondo Avenue. Given
the scope of this proposed project staff worked with the developer to send out requests for
proposals (RFP) for environmental planning services to assist with the preparation of
required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) studies for this project. CPS has
been selected to prepare the CEQA analysis and the cost to hire the consultant will be fully
paid by the developer.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Authorize the Mayor to execute the contract agreement with CPS.
2) Direct staff to obtain a deposit from the developer to cover the full cost for contract
services prior to authorizing the consultant to proceed with CEQA studies.
ANALYSIS
On January 31, 2007, the City sent out a Request For Proposals (RFP) for environmental
planning services to a list of qualified consulting firms to assist the City staff with upcoming
mixed use projects. At the February 27, 2007 City Council meeting, the Council authorized
a contract with Comprehensive Planning Services (CPS) for a mixed use project proposed
at 7801 Garvey Avenue. On May 29, 2007, the Council also authorized a contract with
Comprehensive Planning Services (CPS) for a similar mixed use project proposed by a
different developer at 7419-7459 Garvey Avenue. It would be advantageous to have CPS
review all these mixed use projects concurrently such that the technical analysis would not
have to be duplicated by multiple consultants.

Re: Estimated Schedule for Environmental Assessment
9400 - 9412 VALLEY BOULEVARD
As you requested, this correspondence provides a cost estimate and summary schedule for the
environmental assessment and related technical studies for the 9400-9412 Valley Boulevard
Mixed Use project. This estimate is based on the following assumptions:
■ The project consists of approximately 10,000 square feet of office and retail, with 38
residential condominium units on an approximately .54 acre site.
■ The scope of work will be similar as that provided for the Big Island Plaza. However, a
shade and shadow analysis is not included.
■ Timing for the technical studies related to this environmental review is expected to be
more or less concurrent with those for the Big Island Plaza project. To expedite the
preparation of the traffic and parking studies, we would use RK Engineering, proposal and
qualifications attached.
The environmental schedule will be similar to that for the Big Island Plaza project, driven
primarily by the technical studies. Eight weeks, approximately two months, are expected to be
required to complete the studies. The Initial Study with MND is expected to be completed by
week 1 1, an approximately 2-1/2 to 3 month schedule. An EIR would require considerably more
time, with expected completion of a Draft EIR by week 16, and a Notice of Determination by
week 27, approximately a 6 month schedule.
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Subject: Valley and Rio Hondo Project Traffic Impact Study
Dear Mrs. Lombardo:
Introduction
RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to submit this proposed Agreement to
provide a traffic and parking impact study for your proposed Valley and Rio Hondo project.
The proposed project consists of a mixed-use development with 38 multi-family units and
about 10,000 square feet of retail development on the ground floor. The project will be a
total of three stories.
The City of Rosemead is concerned with traffic and parking impacts as a result of the
development. The traffic impact study will study up to eight (8) study area intersections
and will also review onsite and offsite parking adjacent to the project. The traffic study will
analyze the following condition scenarios:
• Existing
• Existing Plus Project
• Project Buildout Year Without the Project
• Project Buildout Year With the Project
• City General Plan Buildout Without the Project
• City General Plan Buildout With the Project
Project Buildout Year and City Buildout Year Traffic Projections will be based upon an
ambient growth rate and other cumulative projects identified by the City. The level of
service analysis should be performed based upon the ICU (Intersection Capacity Utilization)
methodology. The traffic study will take into account other projects in the study area with
the ambient growth rate.

Scope of Work
The following Scope of Work is proposed by RK for this study effort:
0
1. Review the site plan for the project from a traffic circulation standpoint.
2. field review the site to determine existing conditions.
3. Obtain AM/PM peak hour counts at the eight (8) study area intersections. RK will
utilize existing City counts if they are available.
4. Determine existing levels of service at the eight (8) study area intersections based
upon the ICU methodology.
5. Determine the project's trip generation trip distribution and traffic assignment to the
adjoining roadway system.
6. Determine existing plus project traffic impacts and level of service at the eight (8)
study area intersections.
7. Determine project buildout year traffic impacts and level of service without and with
the project at the eight (8) study area intersections.
8. Determine City General Plan buildout traffic impacts and level of service without and
with the project at the eight study area intersections.
9. Determine project's traffic contribution to the eight study area intersections.
10. Review project access and determine the need for any special turn lanes that may be
required to serve the project.
11. Develop mitigation measures (i.e. traffic signals, additional traffic lanes, etc.) that may
be required to accommodate the project.
12. Conduct a limited parking survey for a typical weekday and weekend conditions
adjacent to the project.
13. Prepare a ULI (Urbban Land Institute) shared parking analysis for the proposed
project.
14. Determine the adequacy of the proposed parking.

Scope of Work is $20,000. This fee is based upon analysis of the Original Site Plan
received by RK from the Client at the time RK initiates the work. Should the
original Site Plan received by RK be modified (per the Client or their respective
associates) after the work is initiated by RK, then RK will require a change Order
and budget modification to accommodate changes before completing the work.
