Task 1: Kick -Off Meeting / fact- finding Visit The Team will visit the site and participate in a Kick -off Meeting with the Steering Committee and the Department of Community Investment Team. The purpose of the meeting will be to introduce tearn members and to review and make necessary modifications to the work plan, public participation strategy /process, and schedule. We will review goals and objectives of the RFP. We will also review past and current plans and proposals, so we can be up to date with development activity that is currently taking place. Task 2.• Existing Conditions Analysis We will assess the current character and physical condition of the study area to enable us to make informed decisions about where and how to intervene. This analysis will be a combination of sketches, drawings and photographs, and will be used to communicate with stakeholders during work sessions and in presentations to the community to familiarize them with the issues. Task 3.• Market Study We will perform an in depth market study and econornic analysis to examine current and projected market conditions. This will include an overview of relevant demographic data. This analysis will serve as the basis of our recommendations for locating uses, density and priority areas within the larger study area. This analysis will also serve as a framework for our Implementation Matrix, outlining short, medium and long term revitalization strategies. Task 4: Big Picture Ideas / Development Suitability Analysis Using the Existing Conditions Analysis and Market Analysis as a base, we will generate some Big Picture Ideas for different Land Use and Development Scenarios showing 20 -year outcomes for the Study Area, including the two corridors and adjacent neighborhoods. These are meant to serve as a starting point for soliciting community input regarding the preferred direction and future outcome in terms of land use and character of development. These will be presented as conceptual bubble diagrams, supported by precedent images showing typical conditions for each scenario. Deliverable: Final Project Schedule and Public Involvement Plan. Documentation of the kick off meeting, and a brief synopsis outlining major themes, issues, and possible additional strategies for appropriate design responses. Market Analysis, Summary of Existing Conditions, Big Picture Ideas/ Development Suitability Analysis. Phase A Charrette Workshop with participation from City Departments, Steering Committee, Business Leaders and Neighborhood Residents. Task S.• Charrette Workshop to Present Analysis and Solicit Public Input We will host 2 simultaneous public input workshops (One per Corridor? to present the findings of the Existing Conditions Analysis, Market Study and Big Picture Ideas outlined in Task 4 and solicit public input. Our approach in this meeting will be to dedicate equal amounts of time to presentation and discussion. Our approach will further frame the Big Picture Ideas as plausible scenarios, thus leaving them open to adjustment and refinement. The discussion will be documented in photographs and or) large format 'flip chart' paper. As a part of our team, we have included a local public facilitator with bilingual capabilities to ensure feedback from all stakeholders, irrespective of their language preferences. We will participate in technical meetings and generate conceptual ideas about land use and urban design for the two corridors. We will then host a joint presentation on the final day to summarize the findings of community input and share initial design concepts. The methodology for charrete workshops will be: • Make a brief presentation of the physical analysis, market study, and prior studies and plans, and workshop objectives. • Present a summary of the comments received frorn the kick off meeting. • Make a brief presentation of the Big Picture Ideas. • Facilitate discussion based on the presentations made earlier in the workshops. • Solicit feedback with questions such as; 'What do you like about what you see ?', 'What don't you like about what you see ?', 'What would you like to see happen ?' and 'What could we do differently ?' 'Where should the priority sites be located ?' Large "Flip Chart" notes will be taken to document the sessions. • Generate conceptual ideas for land use and urban design for the corridors and Identify Priority Areas. • Host a concluding presentation that summarizes the findings of comments received from the community. Deliverable: Base Maps, Analysis drawings, graphics and boards. Summary of Market Study, PowerPoint or similar presentation. Documentation of the workshop.
