research institutes and/or professional organizations (e.g., TRB, ITE, ULI). The literature review wilI target <br />information that specifically defines transitional parking strategies and innovative policies as well as <br />development standards for mixed-use and transit- oriented development. DKS will prioritize its review of <br />local agency code within communities in Southern California, the state of California, and nationally in that <br />order. <br />DKS will coordinate with City staff on the collection of mapping and parking related data for the MEMU <br />Overlay District including GIS base map files, past parking surveys, parking supply inventories, relevant <br />conditions of approval and <br />development agreements, parking management districts in other parts of the City, and long range plans for <br />public infrastructure and transit service. DKS may conduct spot parking supply and utilization surveys within the <br />MEMU Overlay District as part of developing the parking scenarios described in Task 3, <br />Task 3: Land Use, and Develop merit Capacity Analysis and Parking Scenario Modeling <br />Purpose: This task is to develop an understanding of the potential mixed-use development capacity of the <br />District and where that development may occur given current and future market trends. This information will <br />be utilized to develop development "scenarios" as input Into a parking supply and demand forecasting model. <br />Task 3A: Land Use and Development Capacity Analysis <br />RRM will review data (to be provided by the City) that is relevant to the area, including mapping information, <br />General Plan, Zoning Code, Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone, and other environmental and planning <br />efforts that have a bearing in the City. In addition, RRM will review existing land uses in the project area for <br />potential increases in allowable mixtures of land uses and densities. Following the review of existing data. <br />RRM will meet with DKS and City of Santa Ana staff to discuss the specifics of the Metro East Mixed -Use <br />Overlay Zone and other relevant planning policies. As part of this meeting, the consultant learn will conduct a <br />field trip with City staff to gain a thorough understanding of the study area. This task will include the <br />following: <br />Review project goals and objectives, scope of work, and project timeline <br />• Identify key project contacts and information exchange <br />• Discuss general concerns and issues to be focused on during the project <br />• Review preliminary areas for potential increases in allowable mixture of land uses and densities as <br />well as likely phasing <br />• Discuss project deliverable design and format <br />Based on the above tasks, RRM will prepare project massing "prototypes" utilizing the existing City zoning <br />standards for up to four (4) sites. A single site will be identified within each of the four MEMU districts <br />(Neighborhood Transitional District, Village Center District, Active Urban District, Office District) and tailored <br />to represent the allowable development. "Prototypes" will illustrate a variety of land uses mixes and <br />horizontal and vertical development configurations. All sites will be selected and confirmed in conjunction <br />with City staff prior, to preparing prototype/case study designs. Case studies will use the Metro East Mixed - <br />Use Overlay Zone to determine development feasibility. Development standards will inform site design in <br />conjunction with building code standards, reconciled with likely intensity/density and neighboring context. <br />DKS and RRM will use the development prototypes to identifythe range of parking supply thatcan be <br />provided within the range of development types, and identify where the prototypes maybedeveloped <br />beyond the initial foursites to create a development scenario within a reasonable planning horizon (e.g., 10 or <br />20 years).. <br />Task 313: Parking Scenario Modeling <br />DKS will use the scenarios derived from the development capacity analysis in Task 3A to develop a parking <br />supply and demand forecasting model. The supply component of the model will encompass parking supplies <br />reflecting traditional Santa Ana parking requirements and MEMU mixed-use development codes applied to <br />12 <br />25F-16 <br />
