Within the City of Rosemead, GareyAvenue spans from New Avenue on the west to the Rosemead Garvey Bridge on the east, and thus serves as the primary commercial destination for the southern half of the city. While it is important to understand Garvey Avenues regional context and role, it is equally crucial, or perhaps more so, to understand is role to the potential users - the people of Rosemead. To this end, the City's recent Strategic Plan focuses on enhancing Rasemead's appeal as a new kind of small town in the heart of an urban environment by honoring tradition, uniting in diversity, and ml ing for the future. Over the last several years, the City has implemented several projects along Garvey Avenue, including median, street tree, and sidewalk improo melts, resurfacing, and reconstruction and widening of the Garvey Bridge. In addition, the Garvey Avenue Masco Plan provides a foundation for Garvey Avenue to be recognized as a Abmntcoridorwith clean storefronts and visible pedestrian activity by the year 2020. 1n the preparation of Specific Plan for Garvey Avenue, we envision the process will: Ensure appropriate development and enhancement based on a series of districts, each with unique uses, activity and opportunities; I)mclop public and private realm beautification mechanisms, building on the incremental legacy of identity through the landscape with street trees and vistas, m support a vibrant corridor; Explore new land uses and arrangements to better rake advantage of unique positioning and what the various opportunity sites can do to catalyre development; Embrace the diverse cultural resources and opportunities unique to Rosemead; Support pedestrian and multi -modal activity by reexamining the role of Garvey Avenue from a transportation perspective to help it serve as a local river and amenity; Find ways to address real and perceived parkingchallengrs with the goal of increasing customer accessibility while enhancing the pedestrian experience; Establish design standards to manage expectations and provide for a variety of mmket- supportabledevelopment types; and Provide a vision and policy framework to guide development, along with regulatory mechanisms so that implementation of new projects pursuant to the Specific Plan can be streamlined. We believe that this planning effort has the potential m understand what makes Garvey Avenue unique within and to the City and people of Rosemead. We are committed to enhancing the corridors beauty and image while exploring the unique cultural and economic asses that can make the street a true community destination and amenity.

The City desired reference guidelines the Planning Commission, City Council, and other reviewing bodies could use as a basis for evaluating quality of design. Rosemead had an opportunity to showcase progressive planning principles in its mixed -use infill projects that would propel them into the future and create a safe, thriving, urban environment that generated pride in Rosemead's residents and those who visit Civic Solutions created a set of concise mixed -use design guidelines that addressed the City's unique set of circumstances. Sensitivity to adjacency issues, park- ing limitations, and the opportunity to consolidate loo large enough to accommodate compact mixed -use projects were detailed. The set of infill mixed -use design guidelines was very well received by City Staff, and unanimously approved by both the Planning Commission and City Council. GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 44 ■ CIVIC SOLUTIONS DOWNTOWN ROSEVILLE SPECIFIC PLAN Roseville community leaders had commimed to fostering a dynamic, pedestrian - friendly, mixed -use city center with the revision of the City's General Plan, the initia- tion and completion of several public projects, and the creation of a Downtown vision plan. The purpose of the Downtown Vernon Street and Historic Old Town Specific Plan is to make the City's vision for the area concrete by developing an economically and environmentally sound, practical, and easy- to-follow regulatory framework. Civic Solutions staff worked with City officials, a citizen steering committee, and the public to create a Specific Plan that incorporated our proprietary downtowncode, private and public design guidelines, implementation strategies, and environmental documentation. The downtowncode approach, which blends Euclidean zoning, form -based zoning, municipal (non - zoning) ordinances, and Smart Code regulations in a graphics -heavy format, recognizes that Downtown Roseville is adistinct place and, therefore, should have distinct regulations. Plan strategies are supported by economic, transportation, and environmental analyses. GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 05 ■ IRWINDALE DESIGN GUIDELINES CIVIC IOLUTIONS The City of Irwindale needed a revision to the existing design guidelines that would accomplish the following. • Respect the existing Spanish /Mexican architectural heritage; • Address issues that inhibited effective implementation identified by City Staff, the Planning Commission, and City Council; • Create a document that is easily interpreted by City Staff for permit processing and remodeling applications; • Provide for exemptions under specific circumstances, subject to the review and appromal of the Planning Commission or Director of Planning and Community Development; • Revise landscaping requirement to a manageable percentage; and • Provide a certain level of flexibility balanced with cerrainry, and consistency in order to avoid confusion and prohibitive costs to applicants and developers. The revised Design Guidelines emphasize basic site and building design principles rather than specifying a particular architectural style. The principles addressed include continuity, focus, transition, balance, rhythm, and integrity which are key to creating compatibility and integrity in architectural design. The Guidelines are also richly illustrated with photographs and sketches of desirable architectural forms and designs for ease of understanding. To encourage change and high quality signage that is integrated with the architecture and design of the building, new guidelines were established for signage throughout the city.

Our team has worked on CEOA and NEPA projects located across the entire State of California and the United States, from urban areas with cencems related to traffic, noise, and environmental justice, to rural areas where biological resources, cultural resources, agricultural resources, water resources, scenic vistas, open space and land use incompatibility have been the primary concems. In each of our completed projects, we have demonstrated our ability to perform the following critical functions: • Evaluation and analysis of project alternatives, cumulative impacts, and growth- inducing effects; • Comprehensive analyses of all relevant environmental issues; • Management of technical specialists from within Atkins and from within subcontractor teams; and • Production of high quality environmental documents synthesizing and editing information developed by technical specialists. Atkins is uniquely familiar with the City of Rosemead and its environs due to our work in the San Gabriel Valley for the cities of Pasadena, Arcadia, La Canada - Flintridge, Ontario, and Sierra Madre. The following list of projects demonstrates our unparalleled experience preparing Specific Plan EIRs, particularly those focusing on commercial corridors: East Los Angeles 3rd Street Specific Plan EIR, County of Los Angeles Regional Planning, California (October 2012 - ongoing). Atkins has been retained by the County to prepare an EIR for the East Los Angeles 3rd Street Specific Plan. The proposed plan defines a vision and establishes standards and strategies for the revitalization of the East Los Angeles community using the principles of transit- oriented development (TOD). TOD takes advantage of its location near the Metro Gold Line to create a vibrant community, walkable streets, and safe access to transit. Components include vibrant and diverse commercial corridors; well- designed buildings, attractive streetscapes, and engaging public spaces; multi - modal streets accommodating pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles; a mix of uses, with residential and employment densities that support transit use; and a range of housing options. South San Francisco Downtown Station Plan EIR, City of South San Francisco (2012 — ongoing). Atkins is preparing the EIR for the Station Area Plan, which will guide the City in its planning efforts to create a vibrant, transit - supportive, diverse downtown as well as the area surrounding the City's Caltrain commuter rail station. The Area Plan will craft a vision for the Downtown core, and identify an implementation process to achieve City and community goals. The goals of the Area Plan include: protecting the historic nature of Downtown, improving access to the Caltrain station, supporting local businesses, improving easNwest connectivity to Downtown, reducing traffic congestion on Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard, and increasing the use of alternative transportation. The Area Plan would support transit - oriented development (TOD); create an open space framework; create pedestrian linkages, alleys, and a pedestrian priority zone; create a new bicycle network; employ new parking strategies; and implement affordable housing and anti- displacement strategies. In addition, a new circulation framework would be implemented to balance travel modes to improve access between Downtown and the East Side neighborhood, improve street connectivity, reduce impacts from regional traffic, and provide transit enhancements from Downtown to BART and the South San Francisco ferry terminal. Laguna Niguel Gateway Specific Plan, City of Laguna Niguel, 2011 — 2013. Atkins prepared a program EIR for this transit - oriented specific plan, which provides for the orderly and efficient development and revitalization of the Gateway area by allowing and guiding development of high-quality commercial, office, residential, and mixed -use projects, including transit- and pedestrian - oriented districts ATKINS where people can live, work, shop, are entertained, and recreate. The Specific Plan establishes the overall policies, maps, densities, development standards, building form, and design guidelines that apply specifically to properties within the Gateway area. The Specific Plan also identifies various circulation and mobility, streetscape, open space and infrastructure improvements that are envisioned to unify the project area and accommodate the anticipated development. The Laguna Niguel /Mission Viejo Metrolink station is located within the Gateway area at the south end of Forbes Road. Palomar Gateway District Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report, City of Chula Vista (2011 — ongoing). The project involves preparing the EIR and noise technical report for implementation of the Palomar Gateway District Specific Plan (PGDSP). The PGD is located within the southwestem portion of the city of Chula Vista in the county of San Diego. The PGD encompasses an approximately 100-gross- acre area surrounding the Palomar Transit Station at the intersection of Palomar Street and Industrial Boulevard. Key issues addressed in the EIR include traffic level -of -service standards and traffic hazards, impacts to sensitive biological resources, pressures on public services and utilities from increased population, and land use compatibility with existing and proposed residential uses related to noise from increased density and transportation noise sources. Bergamot Station Transit Village Environmental Impact Report, City of Santa Monica (2010 — 2013). This project included an EIR for the construction of a five- building, 958,000 - square -toot transit- oriented development at the former Papermate site, across Olympic Boulevard from the future Expo Line Station. Project adributes include an approximately 1,961 subterranean parking garage, public open space areas (two parks), a playground, and other resident amenities. Of particular community concern were increase air pollutant emissions and increases in ambient noise levels, as well as circulation and traffic congestion issues. Colorado Avenue Esplanade Project ISIMND, City of Santa Monica (2011 — 2012). Atkins prepared the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration for this transit- oriented project, which will implement circulation modifications, streetscape improvements, and design enhancements to create a gateway into the City from the Expo 4th Street/Colorado LRT Station and connect the LRT station, Downtown, Civic Center, and specific destinations such as the Palisades Garden Walk, the Pier, and Palisades Park. The proposed project would transform Colorado Avenue within the project site into a multi -modal street that supports pedestrian, transit, and bicycle users through the provision of widened sidewalks, a two -way cycle track, a reduction in the number of vehicular lanes and a change in vehicle flow, the realignment of Main Street to its 2nd Street connection to comply with the circulation improvement outlined in the Civic Center Specific Plan, enhanced crosswalks and pedestrian amenities, and new signalization. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities would be improved and expanded. The Main Street Triangle, an existing landscaped area located on the south side of Colorado Avenue at Main Street, would be reconfigured by the roadway alignment and improved to create a pedestrian gateway to the Civic Center District and create a space for public gathering. The Colorado Avenue streetscape would be enhanced with decorative paving, inlaid wayfinding, street furniture, lighting, landscaping, and public art in order to improve the pedestrian realm. The IS /MND was unanimously approved by the Santa Monica City Council in June 2012. San Carlos Transit Village Project City of San Carlos (2008 — 2010). Atkins prepared a comprehensive EIR for the redevelopment of a 10.53 -acre strip of land that runs parallel to the Caltrain right -of -way and encompasses the existing San Carlos Caltrain Station. The transit - oriented development plan included eight new buildings with over 400,000 square feet of residential uses (280 housing units plus amenities); nearly 24,000 square feet of office space ; and approximately 14,000 square feet of retail space . The project also provided parking spaces for residential and commercial uses and Caltrain commuters. A new pedestrian plaza, new paving treatments crossing El Camino Real and Old County Road, and enhanced landscaping were planned to enliven the area and showcase the Historic Depot. The project drew considerable attention and concern from nearby residents. Key issues included visual ATKINS impacts from constructing tall buildings in close proximity to single - family homes; train noise reflecting off buildings into residential areas; pedestrian safety walking to and from the site across El Camino Real, a four -lane state highway; and potential damage to the Historic Depot. For the EIR, Atkins prepared visual simulations, an analysis of potential degradation of the Historic Depot, a detailed description of pedestrian facilities, and an analysis of potential noise reflection from trains. ENVIRONMENTAL TEAM The project management team for this project consists of Ms. Alison Rondone as project manager and Mr. Julian Capata as deputy project manager. Alison is currently managing the East Los Angeles 3rd Street Specific Plan EIR, a TOD plan to intensify development along 3rd Street to capitalize on the Metro Gold Line extension through the community. She also previously managed a Specific Plan for the Downtown Glendale comdor. This experience, coupled with her experience managing projects in the San Gabriel Valley, will provide the City with a thorough grasp of the environmental process for this Specific Plan. Julian recently managed the Laguna Niguel Gateway Specific Plan EIR. It is through this experience that Atkins believes that we have assembled a team of professionals who are ideally suited to meet the needs of this particular project. The Atkins management team will be supported by a team of planners and specialists who are ready to begin the work. ®CIVIC SOLUTIONS APPROACH, SCOPE AND BUDGET The Civic Solutions team is excited about the unique opportunities for Rosemead to redefine the role of Garvey Avenue in the City. The CSI approach responds to each ofthe elements called out in the City's RFP and embraces the City's desire to prepare new policy and regulatory documentation m ensure aviable set of land uses, designs and public improvements to stimulate investment and revitfization. Our approach emphasizes a Imdisfic, viable set ofenhancement and regulations for the improvement ofthe corridor while embracing vital community support through adivers, engagement pro cess.The CSI team approach incoporates: • In ovative, conteat-sensitive urban design • Strong team familiarity, with and support for corridor revitalization and plan ;making • Superior technical skills inttanspomarion planning and environmental drcumentation; and • A wmmunitysupportive philosophy.

For example, we see the form and character of the east end of Garvey is and will remain somewhat different that the west. The urban design concept would likely establish Garvey Avenue as a series of districts, help articulate where those districts should exist and exlpore relevant treatments at multiples nodes or intersections or specific lengths of the boulevard. Ultimately,, the cohesive plan and strategies will coalesce from addressing the needs of the separate but interconnected spaces and plates. The urban design concept would also identify ideas and locations for how people can shop, work and live which are important to vital streets and where there are logical places for miring of uses. The graphic will identify locations where fa *es on either side of the special plats deserve to be considered and treated specially to add importance to the mixed -use places, and where the judicial use of added building height is important to the rhythm of the street.

Forparlang issues, the Kickoff meeting is proposed m include an agenda item to define the issues that resulted in the identified primary objective to create adequate parking facilities and improve traffic flow. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOLD between City staff and ItenswiU be the product of this task A unique approach that Iteris bri ngs is the potential in meedng(s) with Southern California Edison, as a Rosemead headquartered utility with State mandated targeted reductions in GHG emissions. Should the desire arise in the planning process, improved multimodal transportation operations along the Garvey Avenue corridor could be achieved through SoCal Edison's GHG'Offset' program. Item is intimately familiar with the planned aor6 international pmmcol to allow independent third party verification ofGHG emission reductions due to Intelligent Transportation Systems and Active Transportation Systems infrasmtcture and operations. Existing Conditions Analysis The Imns temn will bring a multimodal perspective to the analysis ofexksting traffic and parking conditions along the Garvey Avenue corridor, including impfications ofirs Truck Route designation and need for truck deliveries at corridor businesses.

Deliverables • Existing transportation and parking conditions memorandum • Transportation anayksis of Specific Plan program options detailingfamre conditions, parking requirements, alternatives considered and the recommended parking management plans, no be included in the Draft Specific Plan chapter TASK 4.5 ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW DRAFTS (2) Civic Solutions will prepare a Specific Plan for the Garvey Avenue corridor that will graphically detail specific design parameters to promote the revitalization of this community arterial and damnation. We envision the Specific Plan document being prepared in Adobe InDesign m ensure agraphic -rich format In addition in the requiremensspelled out in the RFP, the Specific Plan will include the following components: land Use and 7. ning Building on options prevented in Task 4,3 and incorporating feedback from the public engagement process, City staff and economic and design considerations, a draft set of recommended Lard use categories and zoning designations will be presented. In particular, recommendations will be tailored and organized via multiple development districts as defined earlier in the planning process. Recommendations and potential development programs for opportunity sites will also be included. DiagrannWmaps for proposed land uses, zoning districts, height limits, etc. will be prepared in Adobe I Ilustramr. Design Standards The design standards for Garvey Avenue will evolve from the existing mixed- usedesign guidelines and Master Plan, as well as our understandingofthe core constituents ofthis street - the City itself, the busincas community and the neighborhoods. The design standards will guide future development and will work well with the exisdngdesign guidelines now in place. It is our intention thatthe role of the planning department for projects along Garvey Avenue will be one of gentle guidance to ensure compliance and approvals by Planning Commission and City Council. It is our intention to craft the standards as unambiguous standards but with the ability of staff to promote the exceptional project when it arrives. The design standards will provide detailed regulations forthe developmentofpmperties along the wonder, specifically addressing building massing, height, materi.Weelors, signage, setbacks, parking arrangements and susminability/shadesensidve concepts. The standards will respond to, establish and support the various districts as envisioned early in the planning process, so as to affirm the distinction between segras s ofthe corridor which may have unique urban design requirements. Public Realm Improvements The Specific Plan will include a set ofpubhe realm design improvements intended m establish and support Garvey Avenues existing visual identity. Emphasizing shade is of the upmost importance forgiving fife m the strew, and pedestrian amenifi s such as trasheans and benches are absolutely imperative. Public art could be used to express the many diverse cultures in the city. Standards for street design- again broken down by districts -as well as sidewalk treatment, additional street nee locations, public art possibili ties, crosswalk GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 71 ■ ■CIVIC SOLUTIONS improvements and merall pedestrian and bicycle networkenhancemens will be provided. Potential improvements may include a landscape program that creates gateways and thresholds at the intersection of neighborhood streets to be both ammetive and a way to engage business owner. Development and Improvements Phasing We think there are strategies that are linked to phasing, with perhaps the most important being those things we can cause to happen immediately, giving a sense of accomplishment at the beginning of the project rather than waiting until the end, often months or years after beginning. Derived from the Market Study, an implementation program will be designed to identify the necessary investments, programs, phasing, and other activities necessary m ensure the Specific Plan goals can be achieved. To understand realistic phasing of land use and economic change throughout the study area, the Concord Group will saluac the absorption potential and recommend phasing of opportunities and land and built values fikelvm be achieved mer„ro and zo year none frames. This task assumes preparation of the Administrative Draft Specific Plan and one set of comprehensive edits/revisions m be ineo pomted into asecond Administrative Draft Specific Plan. Deincrables Two electronic copies oftheAdministrodw Draft Specific Plan TASK 4.6 GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT As necessary, a General Plan Amendment will strengthen the goals and policies in the Rosermad General Plan m related to facilitating the successful development and revitalization of the Gatvey Avenue corridor. Based heavily on the results of the detailed economic analysis, the update will consider the mix and intensity of residential development, the scale and type ofcommercial development and the spatial relationship of these uses with transportation and public amenities. Consolidation of districts and/or standards will be addressed in order to lay the framework firr comprehensive revitalization of this area and to work in concert with proposal districts in the Draft Specific Plan. Particular attention will be paid to City-owned opportunity sites that could sere as the catalyst for new multi-modal mixed use development. All forms oftransportation will be considered including rail, bus, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular. The General Plan Amendment will also include adiscussion ofparking options which are more fully detailed in the parking analysis as part of the Draft Specific Plan. CSI will work with City staff to demmoine the appropriate fixmat and extent ofdetail desired to fit in with the Ciry's existi ng General Plan document.

Construction emissions are produced from heavy equipment and dust from grading, demolition, and construction activides. Operational emissions are primarily associated with mobile so um s; however, natural gas usage, GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 73 ■ ■CIVIC SOLUTIONS landscaping, and maintenance also contribute to criteria air pollurantemissions. Criteria pollutants will be modeled using the CalEEMod model issued by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Construction and operational emissions will then be compared to the appropriate thresholds to deeermine significance. Operational emissions will be assessed as a net change between what is emitted by existing (buildings that were operational at the time of the NOP) and emissions from the proposed development The analysis will use the SCAQMD methodology and guidelines to discuss the potential for CO impacts from the addition ofpmjecr related traffic. The analysis will be based on program -level traffic dam and will use Calineq m model emissions fin any intersections or roadways that do not meet the SCAQMD's screening levels for CO impacts. The SCAQMD's most recent guidelines have acomprehe skv approach in the analysis of health risk from current existing and new development operational activities. As Garvey Avenue is a major transportation corridor, diesel particulate emissions (DPM) could be of concern, and any adjacent sensitive receptors will be identified. If it is determined that sensitive receptors could be adversely affected by potential increases in DPM from increased track traffic, a health risk assessment may be required. If it is determined that a HRA is necessary, this scope ofwork and cost proposal will be modified to include this task. We be8se it is unlikvi} that the operational activities on the sits would hate a health risk for off-site sensitive receptors. In addition, while the proposed project may include emergency back -up generators or Milers, SCAQMD requirements for these stationary sources would require emissions m be such that there is no significant risk many potential nearby sensitive receptors. Therefore, Atkins will qualitatively discuss operational health risk impacts from implementation of the proposed Specific Plan. From a construction standpoint, the proposed development areas are located potentially adjacent to sensitive receptors. Therefore, a Localized Significance Threshold (LS n analysis will be conducted m determine the potential for construction impacts in nearby existing or on- site sensitive rec eptors.The LST analysis will be conducted using SCAQMD methodology and the Screen; modeling program to determine the potential for constriction risk impacts. Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Global Climate Change) To determine impacrs related to climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for construction and operation of development under the Specific Plan will be estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Mrdd (CalEEMod). Atkins will incorporate all phanspecific feamrs that will educe GHG emissions and mmparc the emissions to the SCAQM D's proposed Perkurmancc Standard of 4.8 metric tons Mae per service population. If emissions resulting from dcrvelopment under the proposed plan exceed the threshold, Atkins will suggest reduction measures to meet regulatory requirements or reduce emissions to the greatest extent possible. The SCAQMD threshold is aconsenative threshold and all larger projects will be required to implement either project design features or mitigation m meat the SCAQMD thresholds. Noise Atkins will identify any noise - sensitive uses in the prijecram that could he affected by corstmction and operational noise (from increased vehicular traffic) and will measure existing noise levels at locations to be identified in consultation with the City. Existing information will summarize the nature of sound. noise, and groundbome vibration, and will introduce acoustical terns that relate to the noise analysis. Relevant State and local now standards and guidegnes will also be summarized. Existing ambient daytime noise levels will be measured GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 74 ■ ®CIVIC SOLUTIONS at selected locationswithm and around the proposed project ute to establish currembaseGne noise Lewis. These locations will be identified on a map. The daytime noise levels will be measured using Larson -Davis Model 814 precision sound level meter, which satisfies the American National Standards Instiate (ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement instrumentation. Noise will be chamererized in the following terms: • Leq, the equivalent energy noise level, is the average acoustic energy content of noise for a stated period of time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating scale does not vary, regardless of whether the noise occurs during the day or the night • L min, the minimum instantaneous noise level experienced during aown period of time • Lmax, the maximum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time Existing z4-hour noise levels will be calculated for various roadway segments in the project area using the Federal Highway Administration Highway Noise Prediction Model (FHWA- RD-77-;o8) and current nu is counts from the Transportation Study prepared for the proposed plan. The model will calculate the average noise level at specific locations bard on traffic volumes, average speeds, roadway geometry, and sin, environmental conditions. Vehicle noise energy rats in the FWHA model will be modified to incorporate rates utilized by Calu ans, which better represent vehicle noise levels in Califimur, Defiverablex • One (r) electronic copy of the Draft Technical Appendices in Microsoft Word aoo3 format and AdobeOne electronic copyofthe Draft Technical Appendices in Microsaft Word aao3 format and Adobe • One electronic copy of the Final Technical Appendices; Initial Study and Nrotim of Preparation (NOP) Atkins will prepare an Initial Study (IS) thatwill focus the EIRon those topics that have the potential m adversely affect the environment. The IS will accompany the NOP as an attachment. Aesthetics Aesthetics (defined as any element, or group of elements, that embodies a sense of beaury), views, daytime glare, and nightti me illumination are related elements in the visual environment Visual impacts of a project include the provision ofobjective visual resources (such as pmjectdesign elements) and the subjectiveviewer response to those changes in the visual environment Implementation of the proposed proje erwould represent a change in the existing visual charsoverofthe project area. Height and density standards in the Specific Plan will be analyzed for potential impacts with respect no views to and from the project area, The 1S will provide a description of views in and from the are - supplemented by photographs. Adana; will analyze whether the proposed project would substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the Specific Plan area due to grading, height, bulk, massing, or architectural style or building materials; location in a visually prominent area; degradation of the visual unity of the area; or degradation of views form roadways or adjacent uss. Seems, vistas will be described and the projects impacts m acenievisras will be analyzed. GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN ]5 ■ ■CIVIC SOLUTIONS Edsting sources of light and glare will also be described. The IS will analyze whether the proposed plan would create a new source of substantial light or glare (i.e., parking lot ights) that would adversely affect day or nighrdmeviews in the area. Atldns will evaluate changes in ambient lighting levels, including hot spots and spillotcr onto adjacent areas, particularly nearby residential uses. Agriculture/Forestry Resources It is expected that there would be no impacts to agriculture and forestry resources in the IS for the proposal project. The project site is not occupied by timberland and has not been utilized for agriculture purposes in az least the last hundred years, ifevxr, and it is not designated as prime farmland, farmland of statewide importance, unique farmland, or local importance and is not subject to a Williamson Act contract. Air Quality The air quality analysis will provide an introductory discussion of the air pollutants ofcone m in the region, summarize local and regional airquality, describe pertinent characteristics ofthe air basin, and provide an overview ofthe physical conditions affecting pollutant buildup and dispersion in the City and/or basin. The setting will alsodiscuss the sources, types, and health effects of ai r pollutants. The aft-quality section will evaluate potential air quality impacts of project - related construction and operational activities basal on the modeling performed in submak5.m. The air quality analysis will quagtativelye.aluate the poential exposure ofsensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations where the project may cause emissions of identified pollutants in excess of the pounds per day or inns per quarter standards. Mitigation measures will be identified for potentially significant impacts, and their effecmenesswill be quanrified to the extent feasible. Potential conflicts; with or potential to obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan where it may cause or contribute to emission of identified air pollutants in excess of levels stated in the plan or where it may fail to implement remedial or mitigation measure required under the plan will be analyzed. The annulame ntt increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is in non - artaimnent will be analyzed to determine if the pmjectemissions, considered cumulatively, will increase the level of any criteria pofluoutt above the existing ambient level. Biological Resources It is expected thatthere would be less- thansignificant impacts m biological resourc s in the IS for the proposed plan. A search ofthe Califi nnia Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) using PIarepind v3.i.o wig be perkxmed to develop apneliminary listofsensitive biological revaurcxs thatcould potentially occur within the proposed project sire. Street trees that prmide nesting habitat for migratory birds protected underthe Migratory Bird Treaty Actcould be adversely affected. To ensure that no impacts to migratory birds would occur, the environmental document (in the IS and as also reflected in the Mitigation Monitoring program) will include a mitigation measure that requires preemstruction surmvs for nesting migratory birds. Cultural Resources The project area is currently developed and there are could be historic structures in the Spaafic Plan area that could be adversely affected by construction. There is also the potential GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN 76 ■ CIVIC SOLUTIONS to diseoverburied cultural resources (palnmmlogical, archaeological, or human remains) at this sire, which is the same for nearly any site in southern California. Atkins will conduct a records check todeterminewhether there are known subsurface resources and historic resources in the project area. If there are known (or recorded) subsurface resources based upon this inquiry, we would develop acultural resources recmnery program under a separate contract authorization. However, in most cases, there are no recorded subsurface cultural resources, and all protection of subsurface cultural resources occurs during the construction process. To ensure that no impacts to buried cultural resources occur, the environmental document will include a comprehensive set of construction-related mitigation measures in reduce this impact m a less- than - significant level. A search of the Native American Heritage Commission sacred lands database will also be conducted to determine if am, Native Ametcan cultural resources are present on or in the vicinity of the proposed project sire. Gwlogy/Soils Standard construction techniques and compliance with City and Stare standards (including the Uniform Building Code) are assumed to minimize potential hazards m a less-than- significant level. Atkins will review and summarize the geologic and soils data to develop a description of the plan areas general geologic chavacteristiq with special emphasis on soil constraints, such as unstable soils orevpansive soils. Atkins will report the type and magnitude of seismic activity typical in the region, including the location of the nearest earthquake fault, and determine whether people or structures would be exposed to substantial adverse effects associated with fault rupture, strung seismic ground shaking, seismic-related ground failure (including liquefaction), and landslides. Greenhouse Gas Emissions The analysis ofGHG emissions will incorporate the findings from the modeling performed as part of Task 5. ha. In the event GHG emissions exceed the applicable thresholds, Atkins will propose appropriam and relevant mitigation measures that will reduce impacts to below significant levels or to the greatest extent feasible. Reductions from mitigation measures will be quantified using the CalEEMod, where applicable and feasible, or through other methodology, as appropriate, to demonstrate the reductions applied. Hazards/Hazardous Materials Atkins will perform a radius search through Environmental Data Resources m determine the presence of any hazardous materials in the plan area. The IS will describe past uses of the project site and describe planned uses at the project sire that could create hazards for esisting or future residents or occupants, such as those associated with the use, disposal, transportation, or potential upset of hazardous materials, including those typically used for cleaning and maintenance. Federal, stare, County, and City laws and regulations governing hazardous materials will be summarized. The IS will also evaluate the extent to which implementation of the Specific Plan could impair or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The project site is not located within an area prone to wildland fires; therefore, a significant impact is not anticipated for this issue. Hydrology/Water Quality Existing hydrologic conditions will be identified, including the extent and nature of the existi ng watershed, groundwater recharge and supply, drainage conditions, and water quality. Surface water resources will be described for the project area Existing and planned drainage GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN ]] ■ ®CIVIC SOLUTIONS and floral control facifiries will also be described. Any roc -and hoc yearfloodplainswithin the project vicinity will be mapped, and any exposure of structures to the roo-year floodplain will be evaluated. The potential increase in the rate of runoff as a result of the proposed plan will be described and compared to pre- development conditions. The IS will analyze whether the proposed project would adversely alter the existing drainage pattern of the plan area, such that flooding, erosion, or other degraded water quality conditions would occur. As would be expected, impacts related to erosion are not considered likely, as all development under the Specific Plan would be required to comply with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program during construction activities. Adescription of existing water quality conditions will be compiled based on existing studies or inquiries to local agencies. The IS will address potential changes in surface water and groundwater quality as a result of site development Atkins will discuss the applicability of relevant water quality regulations to reduce potential effects. In addition, this section would determine whether the project would result in a rate of flow that exceeds any downstream storm drain fadliry's capacity. The risk of inundation by wishes, muciflows, and tsunamis will also be addressed in the IS, although given the plan areas location and topography, these risks are not likely to be an issue. Land Use/Planning The proposed projectwould not cli ide an established community. Redevelopmentof the plan amawould likely be consistent with the General Plan and it is anticipated that no conflicts would occur with adjacent land uses. It is assumed that the land use section will analyze consistency of the proposed plan with the General Plan and existing zoning unless significant changes are made through the planning process. Mineral Resources It isespected that no impacts would occurto mineral resources in the IS for the proposed plan. The plan area has never been utilized for mineral extraction, and it is not anticipated that mineral resources exist within ✓p mile of Garvey Avenue. Noise The section will address the impacts of the project on background noise levels (due to vehicular trips) and exposure N potentially excessive noise levels (due to prorxs d uses at the project site). Existing information will summarize the nature of sound, noise, and groundborne vibration, and will introduce acoustical terms that relate w the noise analysis. Relevant State and local noise standards and guidelines will also be summarized. Operational noise impacts will address future noise levels in the plan area. Future noise levels along the roadway segments in the plan area will be calculated to determine potential noise impacts to off -site locations. As noise levels during construction depend on project size, duration ofoonstruction, and equipment used, it is not possible nr calculate construction noise impacts on a program level and there could be localized significant noise impacts. As awor aHw scenario, Atkins will identify the construction impacts as significant and unavoidable (findings cannot be made that an impact is potentially significant) despim implementation of appropriate mitigation, which GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPE IFIC PLAN 78 ■ CIVIC SOLUTIONS will be identified for all construction pursuant to the Specific Plan. Population/Housing As the Specific Plan would not involve removal of any existing housing, this issue the potential of the Specific Plan to displace existing housing will be sniped out in the IS. The IS will analyze the incremental increase in City population that could occur fiom increased employment opportunities, although it is not likely this will be a significant impact. Public Services The proposed plan would likely increase intensity ofdevelopmenton Garvey Avenue, which could affect response times for police, fire, and other emergency services. The appropriate Service providers will be contacted during the IS process to demrraunewhether the level of service could be affected. With aspect to libraries, as long as indirect population growth that would result from intensification of uses along Gar my Avenue is within City and County projections and consistent with the General Plan, there would likely be a less- than - significant impacton the library system. Recreation With indirect population growth due to intensification of uses in the plan area, there amid be an increased use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities. However, similar to libraries, there would likely be a less-than- significant impact on recreational services if the growth is within current projections. However, the analysis will document the amountofexisting recreational facilities in the City and determine the current level of amenity as compared to City or County park standards. Transportation/I'raffie Iteris will prepare a traffic impact study documenting the methodologies, findings, and recommendations of the traffic analysis will be submitted to the development team for review and will be revised, as appropriate for submission to the City for mievv. 1wris will respond to one set ofconsohdated comments from City staff and prepare afinal report Responses to traffic and parking comments will also be provided as required. Atkins will incorporate the findings from the traffic impact study prepared by Items for the nansportnioq/traMc section of the IS. Utilities /Service Systems The analysis ofwet utilities (sewer, water, and storm drain) will focus on the adequacy of exisfing City/County systems to accommodate the proposed project. Importantly, as an engineering firm, Atkins has registered Professional Engineers who can assist our CEQA specialists, if needed, thereby capitalizing on the skills ofenginees, planners, and scientiss, without requiri ng the need for additional subamsultants. With respect no sewer, this section of the IS will address whether the sewage generated by development under the proposed plan would exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the local water quality control board. In addition, Atkins would alsoexrndinam with the City to ensure that the wastewater treatment provider has adequate capacity to serve the proposed plan's projected demand, in addition to the providers existing commitments . Similarly, the IS will address whether the wastewater generated by development under the plan would require the expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities. Ifmadequare wasmwatertrcamrent is identified, measures to provide adequate wastewater treatment will be identified. GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN ]9 ■ CIVIC SOLUTIONS In terms of storm drainage, this section ofthe IS will address whether implementation ofthe proposed plan would result in exceedance ofthe capacity of existingor planned stormwamr drainage systems, either immediately downstream ofthe plan area or a apmentially constrained confluence of strum drains further downstream. Ifinadequatestorm drain capacity is identified, measures to eliminate impacts (such as the on-site detention, reception, and/or filtration) and/or upgrading storm drain fatalities will be identified. Water quality impacts would also be addressed in the IS. There is overlap in the CEQA thresholds with respect to the analysis of impacts to storm drainage: there is a threshold identified in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines fur this issue in both hydrology and water quality and utilities and Service systems. Typically, we address it in one ofthe two locations, and we refer to the analysis in the other location. The IS will evaluate whether adequate water supply is available to serve the project site by providing the following analysis: • Anticiparaiwaterdenand • Waterentitlemens and water sources,including groundwater resesurces and wells • Need for additional water supply, treatment, and/or comeyatce infrastmenrre improvements needs to serve the proposed project • Wastewater flou- usingfactors provided from the City's Public Works Department The IS will provide a description ofexisting and future landfill capacity atthe landfills that aemptwaste from the City of Rosemead and describe any regulatiom asse:iared with State - mandated waste reduction requirements. The amount ofsolid waste that could be generated by development under the proposed plan will be quantified based on factors developed in consultation with the City. Projected solid waste will be compared to existing and furore landfill capacity To determine whether the changes in land use would substantially shorten the life ofthe landfill or nexceitace expansion ofthe landfill. Atkins will also contact electricity and natural gas service providers for information concerning existing and planned energy infrastructure and sources that could serve the plan area This information will be summarized in the IS. Rased on factors provided by the service providers, the IS will quantify estimated energy use for development under the proposed plan. This demand will be discussed with the service providers to determine whether there is ample supply, which is almost always the case. All technical studies, survey results, dam and public and agency comments will be included as appendix material to the IS. Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS have been received from the City, Atkins will prepare a public review (haft IS as well as a Notice of Preparation (NOP). As the RFP requests that all documents besubmitted electronically, it is assumed that the City will distribute the IS/NOP to interes[ad Parties as well as post the NOP as appropriate and file the NOP with the County Clerk.

A setting description will be provided for each of the technical subjects studied. The analysis will document potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures for the Specific Plan as a whole. Significant and less- than - significant impacts will be differentiated so that the reader will be able w grasp the'bottom line of the analysis. The reasons that various potentially significant effects of the project were determined not ro be significant will be documented. The extent of the discussion of impacts will reflect the severity of the impact and their likelihmd ofoccurrence. All impact analyses will differenriare between the incremental effects of the project and cumulativeeffecs with respect w cumulative development in the plan area as appropriate. Each identified impact and mitigation measure will have a specific coded number for the purpose ofdocumenting mitigation- monitoring actions. Mitigation measures will be described after each identified impact. Mitigation measures will be presented in a manner thatwill allow them to be cwUne d from the EIR in the form ofconditions ofapproval. Where several measures are available no mitigate an impact, each will be discussed, along with the basis for suggesting a particular measure. A key feature ofthe impacts analysis will be w provide information about how impact potential is determined. The CEQA criteria for impact significance (Thresholds of Significance) will be listed prior to the impact discussion for each subject ateainvestigated. This allows comprehension and continuity ofthe analysis and establishes the foundation on which to draw important conclusions regarding the significance of the environmental impact.. Each discussion of impact potential will conclude GARVEY AVENUE CORRIDOR SPECIFIC PLAN nl ■ ■CIVIC SOLUTIONS with asummary statement indicating whether an identified impact would be significant or less than significant, based on analysis pru ided under the specific threshold of significance.

ONLINE SURVEY An online survey can be an effective method ofmllecting infntnation from community members who cannot attend community workshops. KPAwill provide the questionnaire on-line in Vietnamese, Mandarin and Spanish, and will encourage community members to complete the survey to express their opinions from their homes or place of business. YOUTH INVOLVEMENT STRATEGIES Younger generation Chinese and Viemamese community members tend to gather with friends between to pm and t am at coffee shops and restaurants. In order in engage the young generation, it may be necessary to mnrit students and train them to conduct outreach to their peers. This proactive strategy may be effective to persuade young community members—and their parents—to attend community meetings. The Visioning program providesoppor tunities to counter ith mmmuniry -based organisations (CBOs) that provide youth programs and awls to families. The CBOs provide astructured venue to create Youth Advocates for planning effort. Engaging the youth is an especally effective strawgy for communities that have a significant number of immigrants. The KPA ream will adapt the program to young people at the high school level. We will curate glossaries and lesson plans along with other instructional materials that highlight "the built environment "Young people will learn about the challenges and opportunities associated with land use and nansportation/mxbility. They will be asked to tell us what they think are the strengths and obstacles within their own neighbomhoxods and how they can be resohed nithin the realities of planning constrains. They will be asked m express their hopes and dreams, also. We want them to discover for themsehes'what m keep/what in change" in terms of land use, transportation and quality of life. Youth will learn avaluable civics lesson about the importance of public involvement and leadership. The goal will be for these young persons or participate in the community meetings, and bring their parents, roc! These services can be added or subsimwd for others currently provided in the scope and budget as staff and the project team deem necessary. DIRECT OUTREACH KPA can develop and hand out furniture and interact with community members, in Chinese and Spanish, in provide pn jex and meedng info especially at ethnic supermarkets and shopping centers.

ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS The Concord Group is available ifdeshed to build on the Marker and Eonomic Analysis Exam the existing snipe ofwork to pnrvide additional services focused on: • Preparing economic benefit analysis to the City (hocaa ringjoh creation, tax revenue, etc); and/or • Developing site specific economic models for prototype projects. TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR ANALYSIS In this optional task, Reds would explore in more detail the opportunities forenhanced mutsiroriented developmenimmered on the corridors existing and potential transit service. Successful and equitable transitoriented development requires focus on metrics of.. • Transit, in terns of frequency of service, quality, and use of available network; • Orientation towards'mre riders who drive less and use transit more; increasingly the Cycle- TransitUses (CTU) are expanding the commute shed of transit service by connecting transit and bicycling, and the Millennial generation is choosing acres to transit over aummnbile ownership; and • Development, in terms of the build environment in proximity to well served transit stops fordelitery of walkable and bicycle friendly infrastructure Serving a corridor that is diverse in use and user. In addition to the existing transit amps serving the Garvey Avenuecoridor, revitalization of the large vacantparcel(s) centered around Kelburn Avenue present a major opportunity for a Mobility Hub serving a finely mood TOD corridor as defined by this task.
