research institutes and/or professional organizations (e.g., TRB, ITE, ULI). The literature review will target information that specifically defines transitional parking strategies and innovative policies as well as development standards for mixed-use and transit- oriented development. DKS will prioritize its review of local agency code within communities in Southern California, the state of California, and nationally in thal order. DKS will coordinate with City staff on the collection of mapping and parking related data for the MEMU Overlay District including GIS base map files, past parking surveys, parking supply inventories, relevant conditions of approval and development agreements, parking management districts in other parts of the City, and long range plans for public infrastructure and transit service. DKS may conduct spot parking supply and utilization surveys within the MEMU Overlay District as part of developing the parking scenarios described in Task 3. Task 3: Land Use and Development Capacity Analysis and Parking Scenario Modeling Purpose: This task is to develop an understanding of the potential mixed-use development capacity of the District and where that development may occur given current and future market trends. This information will be utilized to develop development "scenarios" as input into a parking supply and demand forecasting model. Task 3A: Land Use and Development Capacity Analysis RRM will review data (to be provided by the City) that is relevant to the area, including mapping Information, General Plan, Zoning Code, Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone, and other environmental and planning efforts that have a bearing in the City. In addition, RRM will review existing land uses in the project area for potential increases in allowable mixtures of land uses and densities. Following the review of existing data, RRM will meet with DKS and City of Santa Ana staff to discuss the specifics of the Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone and other relevant planning policies. As part of this meeting, the consultant team will conduct a field trip with City staff to gain a thorough understanding of the study area. This task will include the following: Review project goals and objectives, scope of work, and project timeline Identify key project contacts and information exchange Discuss general concerns and issues to be focused on during the project Review preliminary areas for potential increases in allowable mixture of land uses and densities as well as likely phasing Discuss project deliverable design and format Based on the above tasks, RRM will prepare project massing "prototypes' utilizing the existing City zoning standards for up to four (4) sites. A single site will be identified within each of the four MEMU districts (Neighborhood Transitional District, Village Center District, Active Urban District, Office District) and tailored to represent the allowable development. "Prototypes" will illustrate a variety of land uses mixes and horizontal and vertical development configurations. All sites will be selected and confirmed in conjunction with City staff prior to preparing prototype/case study designs. Case studies will use the Metro East Mixed - Use Overlay Zone to determine development feasibility. Development standards will inform site design in conjunction with building code standards, reconciled with likely intensity/density and neighboring context. DKS and RRM will use the development prototypes to identify the range of parking supplythatcan be provided within the range of development types, and identifywhere the prototypes may be developed beyond the initial foursitesto create a development scenario within a reasonable planning horizon (e.g., 10 or 20 years). Task 36: Parking Scenario Modeling DKS will use the scenarios derived from the development capacity analysis in Task 3A to develop a parking supply and demand forecasting model. The supply component of the model will encompass parking supplies reflecting traditional Santa Ana parking requirements and MEMO mixed-use development codes applied to 12
