Raimi + Associates, in consultation with Fehr & Peers, will develop up to 2 concept plans for Lindenville (focused around Colma Creek) and for East of 101 (focused around the Caltrain Station). These design concepts will focus on possible visions for key development opportunity sites, particularly housing sites; connectivity and mobility improvements; parks and open space; and adjacencies to industrial sites and areas at risk to flooding. The intent of these concepts is to enable long-term creative thinking to help refine housing sites, development standards, and development prototypes. The concepts will be depicted in both plan view and via highly-compelling 3D simulations. Zoning Code Scope of Work A full scope of work and budget is attached. The following are amendments to the original scope of work (bullet #1) and the remainder are optional tasks.  Zoning Code Amendment (new task). LWC will prepare an Admin Draft Zoning Code for review by City staff. This additional work will include: one additional day of stakeholder interviews, preparation of an administrative draft zoning code, and an additional staff review meeting and form-based code testing.  Zoning District Mapping (new task). Raimi + Associates would convert Adobe Illustrator maps to ArcGIS shapefiles and create production quality maps.  Additional Transect Zones (new task). LWC will prepare transect zones beyond the five transect zones anticipated in Task 9.3.1.  Detailed Objective Design Standards (new task). LWC will prepare detailed objective architectural design standards for residential, non-residential, and mixed-use development. The standards are intended to apply to building design in the form-based areas and use-based area and may address building placement, upper-story step-backs, size and bulk, building articulation, pedestrian-scaled design, building materials, building colors, and on-site circulation and access.  Additional Workshop/Study Session (new task). LWC will prepare for and facilitate additional workshop(s)/study session(s) beyond those identified in this scope.  Design Guidelines (new task). LWC will prepare a set of illustrated design guidelines to assist applicants, designers, and design reviewers in the interpretation of zoning 3 requirements; facilitate understanding of community design expectations; encourage creativity; and lead to harmonious and context-sensitive design. Design guidelines are subjective in nature and recommendations only, intended to support design conversations regarding best design practices and complement required development and design standards. Design guidelines will serve a basis for discretionary review as well as a general resource that communicates the community’s expectations for all design. Transportation Analysis Scope of Work  Task 3.12: Citywide Sub-Area Model (amended task). C/CAG + Sub Area Model development and analysis required a higher level of effort than was anticipated in the original scope of work. This task will be amended to reflect Fehr & Peers (F&P) additional coordination and effort to coordinate with C/CAG and VTA staff to keep model up to date with latest county updates, troubleshoot application of raw C/CAG model files in South San Francisco, refine preferred circulation network for input into preferred land use model run, and refine residential and employment inputs by TAZ for land use alternatives travel demand model runs.  East of 101 Trip Cap (new task). F&P will calculate East of 101 trip generation estimates and potential range of reductions for the preferred general plan alternative; complete review of trip cap implementation in other communities; develop performance-based metric options, targets, monitoring methods, and penalties; coordinate 3-4 meetings with a technical working group of City staff. F&P will review draft ordinance language prepared by City staff to implement trip cap  TDM Ordinance Update (new task). F&P will audit local effectiveness of various TDM measures against county baseline, develop an ordinance framework, which would include a measure point system and requirements based on land use context , and establish nexus with VMT analysis and mitigations. F&P will develop templates for TDM Plans and monitoring reports and establish a system for administering penalties and clarify projects that are eligible for penalty funds. F&P will draft text for updated TDM ordinance.  TIA Guidelines (new task). F&P will provide guidance for new VMT analysis for CEQA assessments as a result of SB 743. This will include: o Preparing VMT screening maps by TAZ o Outlining revised approach for Level of Service (LOS) application to different project types o Developing high-injury network (HIN) using collision history and define role of HIN within ordinance and within TIA guidelines o Presenting transportation analysis process in a visually simple format (such as a flowchart) that is accessible to a variety of audiences Fiscal and Financial Feasibility Analysis Scope of Work  White Paper and Ongoing Consultation Regarding Economic Opportunities and Economic Development Policy Considerations (new task). Strategic Economics will prepare a white paper describing South San Francisco’s future opportunities for economic growth— including the potential for economic diversification—and will provide guidance for how the General Plan’s economic policies can support and respond to those opportunities. The white paper will incorporate consideration of any tradeoffs associated with focusing the City’s economic development efforts on the industries identified in the analyses described below and will discuss implications for land use and infrastructure investment in South 4 San Francisco. The white paper will primarily focus on specific industries and topics of concern noted by South San Francisco staff, including the following: Additional economic analysis to identify specific growth opportunities by industry sub - sectors, to create a more targeted vision for the City’s future economy, and to recommend economic development policies to support this vision.  Opportunities to leverage the existing biotechnology industry to expand a cluster of related/supporting businesses.  Analysis of the future of the City’s hospitality industry, and actions to support hotel performance and reinvestment (including potential investments in infrastructure and the South San Francisco Conference Center, and efforts to cultivate and promote local attractions such as Downtown South San Francisco).  Guidance on the future of South San Francisco’s industrial buildings and properties, including opportunities to retain existing businesses—such as food manufacturing—and insights into potential future users of these properties such as advanced manufacturing and R&D uses.  Recommendations for a retail strategy, based on evolution of the retail industry and its space and location preferences. Strategic Economics will investigate these topics through a series of analyses that clar ify the influence of each industry’s potential based on general trends for that industry, relationships between wages / housing costs / real estate market pressures and considerations (e.g., highest and best use of sites, pressure to consolidate sites, compatibility of existing buildings with particular uses), location and infrastructure considerations (e.g., transportation access and reinvestment in the public realm), broader trends like automation and the evolution of retail, and community desires for equitable and inclusive growth as expressed through the General Plan’s community outreach process. These analyses will recognize that a key challenge for sustaining business activity is not necessarily one of declining demand for buildings or space, but instead more about the tensions between property owners’ goals to leverage their property values based on their “highest and best use” versus community goals that could constrain these values by restricting use. The analyses will employ several different quantitative and qualitative techniques. The economic analysis will include additional shift-share and location quotient analyses of the sub-sector employment data previously assembled for the General Plan existing conditions report, as well as available industry projections and resources describing likely growth by industry in the Bay Area. As needed, Strategic Economics will also conduct interviews with businesses in targeted sectors, primarily through a series of focus groups convened by City staff; these interviews will be especially relevant for industries in which a handful of larger employers constitute a large share of jobs, such as in food manufacturing. Strategic Economics will also review relevant reports regarding both the future of the Bay Area economy as a whole and industry-specific reports. Additional interviews may be conducted with local real estate brokers and industry specialists as needed. 5 Based on the results of these analyses, Strategic Economics will identify industry sectors (in addition to the specific sectors noted above) that are poised for growth or could be sustained in South San Francisco through public policy and investment decisions. Strategic Economics will then examine the full array of public investment and policy decisions necessary or appropriate to support businesses in the targeted industry sectors. This will include not just traditional economic development actions implemented by the City, but also consideration of infrastructure and facility investments. Strategic Economi cs will also provide location- specific guidance (at a subarea level, such as Lindenville or East of 101 South of Grand) regarding the likely evolution of demand from users in different industry sectors and likely real estate investment outcomes.  Fiscal Impact Analysis of Preferred Alternative (new task). Strategic Economics will calculate the changes in South San Francisco’s General Fund revenues and expenditures associated with the preferred General Plan land use alternative. This will be accomplished by updating and revising the fiscal impact analysis model previously created to analyze the three land use alternatives, including communication with the Fire Department to verify new service costs associated with the preferred alternative. Strategic Economics will produce a final memorandum describing the results.  Commercial and Industrial Financial Feasibility and Community Benefits Analysis (new task). Strategic Economics will examine the financial potential for specific commercial and industrial product types to provide community benefits contributions to the City of South San Francisco based on the difference between “base” floor area ratio (FAR) prototypes and “bonus” FAR prototypes. Strategic Economics will also provide guidance on potential policy approaches and mechanisms to enable and incentivize contributions from development to support community needs. This work will be accomplished through the work described below. Strategic Economics will build static pro forma models that will test the financial feasibility of up to three prototype development projects at a “base” FAR an d at up to two tiers of “bonus” FAR to measure the value associated with the additional FAR. This calculation will form the basis for considering a potential bonus FAR fee or other equivalent contribution for projects seeking additional density. Examples of prototype projects could include a biotech/R&D building, traditional office building, and a logistics/industrial building. Raimi+Associates will develop and provide the development prototypes in consultation with City staff and Strategic Economics, based, to the extent possible, on actual recent development projects in and near South San Francisco. The pro forma model will be populated with up-to-date inputs including the following:  Market Values: Strategic Economics will conduct targeted market research and interview brokers to obtain current information on rents/values for comparable buildings for modeling the base projects, as well as the market value of commercially/industrially zoned land in South San Francisco and San Mateo County.  Development costs: Strategic Economics will interview real estate professionals (developers, contractors, architects, etc.) with recent or current projects in South San Francisco, San Mateo County, and/or San Francisco to verify appropriate construction cost assumptions. Cost estimates of city permits and fees will be reviewed with Planning staff. 6 Using land value estimates and rates of return that are consistent with current market expectations, Strategic Economics will determine the financial feasibility of each prototype and measure the net value difference between the base projects and the bonus FAR projects. This value differential represents the maximum “community benefits” or other supportable financial contribution that could potentially be generated from the bonus FAR projects. Strategic Economics will prepare a summary of findings of the analysis and discuss the results and possible next steps with City staff in a conference call. As budget allows, Strategic Economics will continue working with City staff and the Raimi+Associates team to provide input on potential community benefits or alternative funding strategies and next steps in developing appropriate policy. Strategic Economics will submit an administrative draft memorandum that will provide the City with the results of the community benefits analysis and a brief overview of potential options for obtaining and incentivizing community benefits or other funding contributions from the tested development project types. Depending on City direction and ongoing policy discussions, the memo may include preliminary recommendations for a potential community benefits strategy in South San Francisco, which may include considerations such as appropriate base and bonus FAR thresholds, types of desired benefits and district improvements that could be funded, mechanisms for determining exchange value, and the advantages and disadvantages of implementation. Strategic Economics will make any required edits or clarifications to the administrative draft memorandum report based on comments from City staff and deliver a final memorandum. Strategic Economics will also revise the General Plan Economic Development Element, as appropriate, to incorporate any new related policy language. Deliverables: Draft and Final memoranda; incorporation of new policies into the General Plan Economic Development Element, as appropriate  Residential Development Feasibility Analysis (new task). Strategic Economics will conduct a financial feasibility analysis to assess the potential to incentivize residential development in areas targeted for growth—such as near the South San Francisco Caltrain stations and parts of Lindenville—based on relative performance of different product types and an analysis of factors influencing the feasibility of residential development in South San Francisco. Strategic Economics will build static pro forma models that will test the financial feasibility of up to three residential prototype development projects, each representing different intensities of development. Raimi+Associates, in coordination with Strategic Economics and City staff, will create detailed development project prototypes representing recent and likely residential development projects in South San Francisco. Based on these prototypes, Strategic Economics will estimate construction costs and attainable revenues. These estimates will incorporate the results of interviews with real estate professionals (developers, contractors, architects, etc.) with recent or current projects in South San Francisco and San Mateo County. Cost estimates of city permits and fees will be reviewed with Planning staff, including assumptions regarding housing impact fees, inclusionary housing in-lieu fees, and verification of specific inclusionary housing requirements. 7 The static financial models for the three residential prototypes will be used to compare costs and capitalized project revenues to test sensitivity of the prototypes’ financial feasibility to factors influencing construction costs and attainable revenues —such as reduced parking or fees, or differences in housing unit mix—based on impacts on the prototypes’ supportable residual land values. Strategic Economics will prepare a summary of findings of the analysis and discuss the results and possible next steps with City staff in a conference call. As budget allows, Strategic Economics will continue working with City staff and the Raimi+Associates team to provide input on potential policy direction around adjustments to requirements for residential development. Strategic Economics will submit an administrative draft memorandum that will provide the City with the results of the feasibility analysis. Strategic Economics will make any required edits or clarifications to the administrative draft memorandum report based on comments from City staff, and deliver a final memorandum. Deliverables: Draft and Final memoranda Assessment of Relative Barriers and Opportunities for Residential Versus Commercial Development (new task). Strategic Economics will build static pro forma models to compare the relative financial feasibility of low- and high-FAR residential prototypes versus low- and high-FAR biotech/R&D prototypes and an industrial development prototype, all on an equivalent site that reflects typical conditions near South San Francisco’s Caltrain station. Raimi + Associates will develop and provide the development prototypes in consultation with City staff and Strategic Economics and based, to the extent possible, on actual recent development projects in and near South San Francisco. Based on these prototypes, Strategic Economics will estimate construction costs and attainable revenues. These estimates will incorporate the results of interviews with real estate professionals (developers, contractors, architects, etc.) with recent or current projects in South San Francisco and San Mateo County. Cost estimates of city permits and fees will be reviewed with Planning staff, including assumptions regarding housing impact fees, inclusionary housing in-lieu fees, and verification of specific inclusionary housing requirements. Strategic Economics will compare the prototypes’ supportable residual land values to determine the relative feasibility of residential and biotech/R&D uses at the tested development intensities. Strategic Economics will share the results of the analysis with City staff. Based on direction from City staff, Strategic Economics may subsequently develop a summary of potential policy options for shifting the relative feasibility and development incentive for residential or biotech/R&D uses. Strategic Economics will also interview housing developers and biotech/R&D and industrial developers who are active in South San Francisco and San Mateo Count y to specifically describe the factors that improve or diminish the feasibility of housing development, and to learn about the role of South San Francisco policies and requirements that could overcome barriers to building housing. Examples of such barriers could include factors such as impact 8 fees, inclusionary housing requirements, zoning and density rules, and parking requirements. Strategic Economics will summarize the findings of the analysis and potential policy options in an administrative draft memorandum. Strategic Economics will make any required edits or clarifications to the administrative draft memorandum report based on comments from City staff, and will deliver a final memorandum. Based on direction from City staff, Strategic Economics may subsequently develop a summary of potential policy options for shifting the relative feasibility and development incentives for developers to pursue residential projects versus commercial and industrial projects. Community Engagement Scope of Work  Task 2.4: CAC Meetings (amended task) will be amend to include five additional CAC meetings with the Community Advisory Committee. All meetings are assumed to be virtual.  Task 2.7: Community Workshops (amended task) will be amended to include ten additional policy focused meetings. This includes 7 topic-specific policy meetings (sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction; mobility; economic development and education; social equity and health; land use and placemaking; safety and climate hazards; parks and recreation) and 3 sub-area meetings (East of 101, Downtown, and Lindenville). All meetings will be virtual.  Translation and Interpretation (new task). This item will be included to pay for community workshop materials and meeting interpretation. Project Coordination Scope of Work  Task 10.2: Weekly Check-In Calls (amended task) have required a significantly higher level of effort than was anticipated in the original scope of work. This amendment allows for the continued coordination of Raimi + Associates with City Staff. This will also allow for the continued update of the project work plan.
