URBAN DESIGN + PLANNING

Re: Proposal for Conceptual Framework and Design Charrette, Katella Ave. Gateway
Dear Aaron,
Thank you for the opportunity to assist the City of Orange with developing a conceptual vision/
framework for the Katella Gateway area. The proposed project area is comprised of
approximately 125 acres surrounding Katella Ave. and includes the Stadium Promenade
Commercial Center, with frontage on the Santa Ana River to the west and surrounding
commercial properties to the south of the commercial center. You seek a qualified urban
design consultant to organize and facilitate a visioning process that culminates in a design
concept/framework for the area and that catalyzes investment in the gateway area and takes
advantage of synergistic opportunities arising from the OC Vibe and the OC Riverwalk projects
in neighboring City of Anaheim. The result of this assignment is to illustrate a concept for the
area to use in advancing conversations with city leaders, landowners, and key stakeholders. A
thorough marketing, branding, and development feasibility analysis will be separate of and
likely follow this effort.
A Little About Us
We have relevant experience with site feasibility analysis and due diligence, as well as master
planning and housing design services. Currently, we are working closely with the City of San
Diego on the Clairemont and University Community Plans, where we have evaluated the
redevelopment potential of two significant commercial centers to include housing and mixed-
use along with placemaking opportunities and greater connectivity to transit and open space.
We are engaged much in the same capacity on the El Camino Real Specific Plan in Encinitas,
where we are studying the potential addition of housing to strip commercial centers along the
corridor. In July, we completed a four-mile corridor revitalization plan for the City of Fresno,
where we helped the city identify a development strategy for two station areas associated with
the city's rapid bus system.
We also have a long track record of assisting private development clients with site analysis and
feasibility. We work continuously with landowners to evaluate the potential for mixed-use and
family housing on multiple sites across San Diego County. With my background in housing
design and affordable housing, we currently have three multi-family housing developments
total of 217 units) recently completed construction in the Hillcrest and City Heights
neighborhoods of San Diego and are well-versed in the density bonus programs of the city.

We feel we are well-suited for this assignment and appreciate the opportunity to work with you
on it!The following pages outline our approach and the proposed scope of work.A Firm Profile
and Resume with relevant experience is attached to this proposal for your reference.
Project Approach
Our planning approach for this assignment hinges on five primary imperatives for the project:
Focus on Form-Making, not traditional land use planning and zoning, to
drive the vision for the area and to illustrate the possibilities. Land use
and zoning will easily follow this through a Specific Plan or other
implementation mechanism, but if it is not grounded in a concept that is
meaningful for building the corridor's sense of place, it will not succeed.
and focus on visual simulations and accurate
representations of the vision through more detailed site design and
architectural concepts. Because we are designers as well as planners, we
see the end product as a physical thing, not a list of policies that get put
on a shelf.
Ensure the plan is feasible and implementable by testing development
scenarios and building types in close partnership with economic analysis
and financial modeling. We now do this for practically every project
because without it we just can't get the developers and community
leaders on board, and they are the ones that make it happen.
Integrate Complete Streets, multimodal mobility, branding and theming
with development types and site design opportunities so there is a
cohesive and solid vision for the corridor.
Engage keystakeholders and encourage positive change for the corridor
by building consensus and gaining support from residents, property
owners, business owners, and community leaders.
Understanding of the Project
The primary objective of planning efforts for Katella Gateway Area should be to plan for the
long-term prosperity and growth of the gateway and Katella corridor as we embrace a new
direction for retail experiences, mixed-use development and active transportation. That
future includes greater opportunities for multimodal mobility, strategies for accommodation
of automated and rideshare vehicles, scooters and other types of private vehicles, and better
pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and environments. It also includes opportunities for
affordable housing and mixed-use development as the corridor and surrounding areas
transform in the next decade into many great places that will offer unique life experiences for
residents and visitors alike.

DocuSign Envelope ID:F1AE7C5D-E82D-4FDC-9A7F-42FB041BE251
Revitalization of Retail & Mixed-Use Design
We have experience developing visionary and specific plans for mixed-use, transit-oriented
districts. From the "refresh" of aging retail centers to the master plan for a mixed-use transit
district, we have a breadth of experience with commercial and residential mixed-use that
includes the design of mixed-use building projects. We understand the land use strategies it
takes to revitalize and breathe new life into commercial centers and residential
neighborhoods.
Interdisciplinary Approach
We are a fully integrated practice. The integration of architecture and planning skills in our
office provides our firm with a depth of"real world" understanding. We know what it takes to
build what we plan, and conversely, we know how what we build affects the urban
environment.
Community Engagement
We are known for our work in environmental justice and our Award-Winning Public Outreach.
Stakeholder participation and engagement is a critical component of any successful planning
process. Our steadfast focus on building community sets us apart from other planning firms.
Over the years,we have designed innovative and engaging techniques that bring community
stakeholders together during the design process- uniting them towards a common plan and
goals.
Citythinkers leads community engagement processes, from workshops, to "charrettes",
public meetings, one-on-one interviews and on-the-ground advocacy. Diego Velasco is
known for his innovative outreach methods, including the Pop-Up Outreach Program for the
City of San Diego, which was recognized at the national level with a National Achievement
Award for Public Outreach by the American Planning Association.
Form-Based Approach to Zoning
Because the foundation of our firm and team is in design, we always approach zoning and
development with form-making as the central and driving force. Regulations that focus
exclusively on use and formulas(such as FAR or lot coverage)fail to recognize the important
role that building form and design play in the process of placemaking and development of
our cities.We constantly hear from developer clients that regulations stifle development,that
codes often have contradicting language and, ultimately,that zoning is unclear and does not
establish a bold vision for an area. Through a form-based approach, design elements that
contribute to the success of a place can be elevated and expressed in a clear and compelling
format that is also easy to administer and has buy-in from the development community.
Currently, Citythinkers is engaged in several assignments with cities across San Diego County
focused on calibrating zoning codes to support this form-based approach.

Proposed Scope of Work/ Deliverables:
Task 1: Existing Conditions/Zoning Analysis
Starting with a strong foundation of information, we will assemble base maps and documents
from existing and past planning documents, site reports, technical studies and surveys
already done for the area. A review and summary of the zoning and design standards for the
area will be performed to establish a basis for our work.
Deliverables:
Compilation of Base Maps, Drawings and Documents
Review of documents &technical studies, as required
Review and summary of zoning and applicable standards for the property
Peer review of past studies, reports and plans and recommended strategies
Opportunities and Constraints Analysis
Task 2: Concept Planning
In this phase of work, we will work with you and landowners to identify a "sense of place"for
the area by developing concept alternatives in sketch form for consideration. We will explore
two alternative configurations of land uses, densities, and building types allowed by the
zoning and comparable to what is proposed for OC Vibe.This may include a range of
development types. Along with these various arrangements of uses and densities, we will
design circulation patterns that help to provide a sense of community and support greater
connectivity to the Santa Ana River, OC Vibe, and the Katella Ave. corridor. Our goal will be
to optimize the development potential of the area and create a distinct sense of place and
gateway for the city. These alternatives will be presented in freehand sketch/diagrammatic
form for use in community outreach efforts. This will include alternative plans and examples
of housing and other land use types proposed in each.
Deliverables:
2) Freehand Concept Alternative Plans
Diagrams of Potential Building/ Land Use Types
2) Conceptual Site Sections
Task 3: Framework Plans
Once a preferred design concept for the plan is agreed upon, we will refine the configuration
of paths, development areas and other plan elements in order to produce a series of
framework plans that describe the project by the following characteristics:
Buildings& Program Areas
Open Spaces &Amenities
Circulation
Deliverables:
3) Framework Diagrams/ Plans with representative imagery
Project summary, including but not limited to: residential dwelling unit count, building
area, height, number of floors, FAR, parking ratio, parking count, amenities, site
constraints, etc.

One (1)"bird's eye" 3D view of the area or a selected section
Three(3)"on-the-ground" 3D perspective views of representative areas
Task 4: Meetings and Community Engagement
We anticipate the design and planning process will be an interactive and collaborative process
involving you, city representatives, landowners, and interested stakeholders.The engagement
process should include:
Deliverables:
1) Half-day Kickoff Meeting and site visit with Economic Development/ City staff
1)Group Meeting with Property Owners (alternatively, up to 4 virtual meetings with
individual owners)
1)Workshop/Charrette with property owners, city representatives, and interested
stakeholders
Up to (4) project check-in meetings with Economic Development Staff(virtual)
Task 5: Summary Report
The culmination of our efforts may include a traditional summary report/ development
prospectus that communicates the vision with compelling graphics in a marketing-level quality.
As an alternative to a report, we propose to develop an ESRI StoryMap which may be hosted
on the city's website and serve as an interactive tool for interested property owners,
developers, community leaders and city officials.
Deliverables:
1) Summary Report in pdf format(letter or tabloid size and a maximum of 50 pages)
Optional Alternative)- ESRI StoryMap
