FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Public Works & Engineering SUMMARY In 2012 the City Council approved the conceptual landscape plans for the "Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Improvement Project' from Sunrise Way to Civic Drive. The portion funded by the Tribal Council of the Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (Indian Canyon Way to Sunrise Way), is currently under construction. However, the portion of Tahquitz Canyon Way from Civic Drive to El Cielo Road (Civic Zone Median) was not approved by City Council in 2012, because at that time, it included the City Hall Parking Lot that required further review — and has subsequently been removed from the median project and is proceeding separately. Staff is requesting the City Council consider: 1) reaffirm the 2012 approval of the conceptual landscape plan from Sunrise Way to Civic Drive; 2) direct staff with regard to the conceptual plan from Civic Drive to El Cielo Road; and 3) approve Measure J funding for design and construction in the amount of $2.06 million over two fiscal years; and 4) direct staff to proceed with construction plans and specifications for City Council approval. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Reaffirm the 2012 City Council approval of conceptual landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median from Sunrise Way to Civic Drive. 2. Direct staff on the conceptual plans for the Civic Median zone for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median from Civic Drive to El Cielo Road. 3. Approve Measure J multiyear funding for the total project in the amount of $2.06 million over two Fiscal Years (2013-14 and 2014-15). 4. Direct staff to solicit a proposal for the final construction design plans and specifications for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvement Project from Sunrise Way to El Cielo Road. ITEM NO. City Council Staff Report December 4, 2013-- Page 2 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvements STAFF ANALYSIS: On April 11, 2012, the City Council approved the schematic conceptual landscape plans prepared by RGA Landscape Architects Inc. (RGA) for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvement Project from Indian Canyon Drive to Civic Drive. The Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvement Project can be broken down to three sub-zones that complement each other and create a comprehensive plan. The three sub-zones are as follows: Indian Canyon Drive to Sunrise Way The median segment funded by the Tribe between Indian Canyon Drive and Sunrise Way is currently under construction, with completion scheduled by the end of March 2014. Sunrise Way to Civic Drive The City Council approved the schematic conceptual landscape plans from Sunrise Way to Civic Drive in 2012. City Staff is recommending the City Council review and reaffirm its previous approval. Civic Drive to El Cielo Road The conceptual landscape approval noted above, did not include the Civic Zone Median from Civic Drive to El Cielo Road, nor City Hall or Riverside County Administrative Offices sites. Staff is requesting that City Council re-initiate the process of approval of the Civic Zone conceptual landscape plans by requesting an updated proposal from RGA for that portion of the median, and presenting the revised plans to City Council. Upon subsequent review and approval by City Council of the conceptual plans, the next step would be staff requesting a proposal from RGA for design of final construction plans and specifications for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvement Project from Sunrise Way to El Cielo Road. Upon completion and approval of the final design, the City Council will authorize Staff to issue and solicit construction bids. The conceptual plans and plant palette from 2009 are attached to this staff report for further review by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: The Measure J Commission recommended $2 million in funding for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvement Project as a multi-year funding project with $1 million in Fiscal Year 2013-14 and $1 million in Fiscal Year 2014-15. Upon further review by the City Engineer of likely increased costs from the 2009 cost 02 City Council Staff Report December 4, 2013— Page 3 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscape Improvements estimate, it is recommended that City Council authorize Measure J funding in an =BA 6 million over two Fiscal Years. �Y DAVID .

Ready, City Manager Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY In 2009, the Public Works and Engineering Department initiated a project to develop schematic landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median; included as part of the scope was the development of schematic landscape plans for City Hall. Final approval of the schematic landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median have been on hold due to the Council's separate consideration of the historic designation of the City Hall property. In an effort to move the Tahquitz Canyon Way median project forward, the City Hall has been excluded from the Council's consideration of the schematic landscape plans at this time. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve the schematic landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median; 2) Approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 5809 with RGA Landscape Architects, Inc., in an amount of $94,400 for a revised total contract amount of $157,940 for the Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping Improvements, City Project No. 08-20; and 3) Direct staff to process the final landscape design approval pursuant to Architectural Review guidelines including consultation with the Indian Planning Commission and Tribal Council; and 4) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. ITEM NO. 6(- 04 City Council Staff Report March 21,2012-Page 2 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) , STAFF ANALYSIS: On March 25, 2009, the City Council awarded a contract to RGA Landscape Architects ("RGA') to provide the City with a professional schematic landscape plan to convert the existing Tahquitz Canyon Way median landscaping to a desert-landscape, drought tolerant, and sustainable landscape that balances the Mayor's call for sustainability while maintaining the enduring vision of greenery and colorful annuals for Palm Springs tourists. The project also included preparation of schematic landscape plans for the Palm Springs City Hall and Riverside County Administrative Offices complex— however, approval of these schematic landscape plans has been excluded from this action and will be brought forward at a later date. A copy of the March 25, 2009, City Council staff report is included as Attachment 1. A Steering Committee appointed by the City Manager met periodically with RGA during development of the initial draft schematic landscape plans. Public review and comment was solicited early in the process of preparing the schematic landscape plans, with the project being posted on the City's webpage and an opportunity to review draft schematic landscape plans being made available to the Office of Neighborhood Involvement and the downtown merchants association "Main Street". On October 29, 2009, a public meeting was held at City Hall providing another opportunity for the public to review the preliminary draft schematic landscape plans prior to initiating the formal Major Architectural Review process. Comments received from the public were reviewed and considered by the Steering Committee, and ultimately the Steering Committee recommended moving forward with the final draft schematic landscape plans. Schematic Landscape Design Vision and Concepts The goal of the redesign of the median is to convert the existing Tahquitz Canyon Way median landscaping to a desert-friendly, drought tolerant and sustainable landscape that balances the Mayor's call for sustainability while maintaining the enduring vision of greenery and colorful annuals for Palm Springs tourists and visitors. Drought tolerant landscaping will be dominant, but it won't be the only landscape concept. The schematic landscape plans encompass the entire median island within Tahquitz Canyon Way from El Cielo Road at the airport west to Indian Canyon Drive near the Spa Casino Resort'. ' The schematic landscape plans have been prepared for all of the Tahquitz Canyon Way median; however, final landscape plans will only be developed for the Section 14 segment as that segment has been funded by the Tribe for final design and construction. OS City Council Staff Report March 21, 2012-Page 3 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) , Sustainability features included in the schematic landscape plan are: • Reduce the amount of sod and increase the use of drought tolerant native plants. • Reuse some of the existing palm trees in the median. • Look Into using the median as storm water retention for irrigation purposes. • Incorporate native images and art pieces that reflect the culture of the ACBCI, and integrates existing pieces like those at Tahquitz and Indian Canyon. RGA was directed to develop a new landscape and landform along Tahquitz Canyon Way conveying an unforgettable visual experience extending all the way from the airport to Indian Canyon Drive. The schematic landscape plans express the Palm Springs "Brand" while also distinguishing the Tribal land in Section 14. The plans are unified by sustainable practices and a continuity of appropriate plant materials. The plans will be the framework within which the geological and environmental uniqueness of the region will meld the heritage of tribal culture, the art and architectural excellence associated with Palm Springs, and address the tourist experience. The entire 2.25 miles of the Tahquitz Canyon Way median is organized by four zones2 with special emphasis placed on the gateway at the intersection of El Cielo Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, the entries into Section 14, the Tribal land, and the high pedestrian-use urban zone between the Renaissance Hotel and Indian Canyon Drive. Balancing the need for continuity and specialness, the plan links all zones by a landfonn with subtle changes that reflect the special character of each zone and to reinforce its uniqueness. Changes from one zone to the next may include artwork, plant material selections, variation in texture, materials and lighting. Emphasis has been given to native and non-native desert adapted plant materials. Particular attention is paid to plants within Section 14 that have cultural significance to the Cahuilla Indians. The schematic landscape plans achieve this combination of goals through a number of means, including: • Integration of bio swales/ rain gardens Irrigation system re-design • Use of locally sourced materials • Use of multi-species plantings to avoid massed monocultures • Reinforce the image of the existing Mexican Fan Palms silhouetted against the mountains and sky as the iconic "image" of Palm Springs • Employ native California Fan Palms as part of a design palette demonstrating sustainable practices and a powerful symbol of our unique ecology and Tribal heritage • Use of theme plant materials to tie mid-century modem architecture with sensitivity to sustainable landscape design 2 The fourth zone — "Civic Zone", includes City Hail and has been excluded from this action. 06 City Council Staff Report March 21, 2012-Page 4 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) In addition to the schematic landscape plans for the four zones, two plant palettes have been identified: City of Palm $Pdnas Plant Palette: Section 14 Plan Palette: Resort Civic/Neiahborhood Zones Tribal/Downtown Urban Zones Large Trees: Large Trees: • Fever Tree • Ironwood • Sonoran Palo Verde • Honey Mesquite • Blue Palo Verde . Blue Palo Verde Small Trees: Small Trees: • Chihuahuan Orchid .

Placement and type of art, pavers, planters, lighting, and monuments will be determined as part of the final design. A copy of the schematic landscape plans is included as Attachment 2. 07 City Council Staff Report March 21,2012- Page 5 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) Prior Architectural Review Process On January 11, 2010, the AAC voted 5-0-1 (Parker abstaining) to generally recommend approval of the schematic landscape plan for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median, and for a restudy of the City Hall schematic landscape plan. On January 25, 2010, the Director of Planning Services approved Case No. 3.3377 — MAA, a Minor Architectural Approval application of schematic landscape plans of the City Hall parking lot and surrounding areas. On February 8, 2010, a group of interested persons filed an appeal of the Planning Director's decision with the City Clerk. On March 10, 2010, the Planning Commission considered the appeal, and voted 5-0 to approve the appeal and overtum the Planning Director's approval. Because at that time the architectural review for the schematic landscape plans included the City Hall, concerns regarding the historic site designation and changes to City Hall site subsequently delayed formal approval of the schematic landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median. Generally, AAC and the Planning Commission considered the schematic landscape plan for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median favorably, subject to subsequent review of final landscape plans. On March 22, 2011, the Tribal Council reviewed the schematic landscape plan for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median, and recommended approval to the City Council with the following conditions: 1. Remove the mid-block pedestrian crossings; 2. Preserve the existing bike paths and on-street parking along Tahquitz Canyon Way; and 3. Public artwork and Tribal icons proposed in the Tahquitz Canyon Way median in Section 14 shall be submitted to the Tribe for review and approval prior to installation. A copy of the Tribal Council approval letter is included as Attachment 3. Staff recommends the City Council approve the schematic landscape plan for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median to be used as the basis for the final design of the Section 14 median re-landscaping. 08 City Council Staff Report March 21, 2012- Page 6 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) Proposed Architectural Review Process This type of capital project is generally exempt from the City's architectural review process. Chapter 91.00.05 (B) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code (PSZC) establishes that "A street-right-of-way, water course, drainage channel or body of water included on the zoning map shall, unless otherwise indicated, have no zoning and shall not be used or improved for other than the purpose for which they exist. Under this provision of the PSZC, the Director of Planning Services has determined that as the public right- of-way itself has no zoning, any improvements within the right-of-way fall under the discretion of the Public Works and Engineering Department and are outside the realm of the PSZC and its procedures (such as architectural review). The Public Works and Engineering Department recommends for highly visible public works transportation projects that may have aesthetic enhancement, including landscaping, architectural review should occur to allow review and recommendation of proposed aesthetics prior to the City Council's final approval. For this project staff recommends that the City Council direct the Public Works and Engineering Department to follow an architectural review procedure outlined below for review of the final landscape design. Consultation with the Indian Planning Commission and Tribal Council is important for this project given the significance of the median landscaping within Tahquitz Canyon Way in Section 14, and particularly in light of the Tribe's generous funding of this project. Proposed Architectural Review Process: 1. Architectural Advisory Committee review/comment 2. Indian Planning Commission review/comment 3. Tribal Council review/comment 4. City Council approval Staff recommends Council approve the contract amendment with RGA to prepare a final landscape design for the Section 14 segment of this project (see Attachment 4). 49 City Council Staff Report March 21, 2012 -Page 7 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Landscaping(CP 08-20) FISCAL IMPACT: On January 18, 2012, the Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding and Subcontractor Services Agreement with the Tribe, which allows the City to indirectly receive $2,000,000 of federal funds from the Tribe's Indian Reservation Roads ("IRR") Program to complete the re-landscaping of the Tahquitz Canyon Way median within Section 14 (from Indian Canyon Drive to Sunrise Way). Funding for this project is covered 100% by these IRR funds. SUBMITTED: Prepared by: Recommended by: -1-1k� ov Marcus L. Fuller David J.

RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Agreement No, with RGA Landscape Architects, Inc., in the amount of$63,540 for preparation of schematic landscape plans for the Tahquitz Canyon Way median (extending from Indian Canyon Drive to El Clelo Road), Palm Springs City Hall, and the Riverside County Administrative Offices complex (City Project No. 08-20);and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents; and 3) Direct the City Manager to appoint a Steering Committee for this project. STAFF ANALYSIS: On May 29, 2006, Mayor Pougnet Issued a call to the citizens of Palm Springs to join him on "The Palm Springs Path to Sustainability", and '20 First Steps on SustainablIM agreed upon by the Palm Springs City Council on May 21, 2008, including: 2. Complete a comprehensive water audit of all public buildings and facilities and develop an action plan that will reduce Clty water usage by 50% by 2012;and ITEM ,w. L 1. �, City Cound staff Report March 25,2009-Page 2 Tahquftz Canyon Way MWlan Design(CP 08.20) 5. Identify City Hall as a showcase for public sustainability efforts and a model for energy,water and waste conservation; and 9. Implement a model re-landscaping project showcasing the Ta uftz Median from the P pgpl 9 hq airport to downtown by the end of 2009. The purpose of this project is to implement these provisions of the Mayors call for sustainability, and will provide the City with a professional schematic landscape plan to convert the existing Tahquitz Canyon Way median landscaping to a desert-landscape, drought tolerant, and sustainable landscape that balances the Mayor's call for sustainablllty while maintaining the enduring vision of greenery and colorful annuals for Palm Springs tourists. The project also requires preparation of schematic landscape plans for the Palm Springs City Hall and Riverside County Administrative Offices complex. In October, staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP), to solicit proposals from landscape architects interested in working on this project. In the RFP, staff emphasized the following: This project is a highly visible, important architectural project for the City of Palm Springs. A well conceived, Palm Springs"design for the landscaping is expected. The project will require collaboration wdh the community, City staff, as well as, the Architectural Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, and City Council. Processing the schematic landscape architectural plans through the City's Major Architectural Approval process is required. On October 17, 2008, the RFP was released for public review and distributed to landscape architecture firms registered with the City. On November 14, 2008, the following 17 firms submitted Proposals In reply to the City's solicitation (in alphabetical order): BMLA, Inc.; Corona, CA Community Works Design Group; Riverside, CA Conceptual Design & Planning Company Inc.; Irvine, CA Copley Design Collaborative; Oceanside, CA David Evans and Associates, Inc.; Riverside, CA David Volz Design; Costa Mesa, CA Design Workshop; Stateline, NV FORMA; Costa Mesa, CA Hermann&Associates; La Quinta, CA NLNIS; Costa Mesa, CA Randy Pumel Landscape Architects; Rancho Mirage. CA RGA Landscape Architects, Inc.; Palm Desert, CA 3 � City Council Staff Report March 25,2009-Page 3 Tahquitz Canyon Way Median Design(CP 08-20) RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc; Riverside, CA RJM Design Group Inc.; San Juan Capistrano,CA Stantec; San Marcos, CA Summers/Murphy& Partners, Inc.; Dana Point, CA TKD Associates, Inc.; Rancho Mirage, CA On December 3, 2008, the City Council appointed Mayor Pro Tempore Mills and Councilmember Hutcheson to the Tahquitz Median Landscape Design Subcommittee. Subsequently, staff met with the Council Subcommittee to form an Evaluation Committee to participate in reviewing the submitted proposals, which consisted of the following individuals: Mayor Pro Tempore Mills • Councilmember Hutcheson • Planning Commissioner Doug Donenfeld • Sustainability Commissioner Mark Nichols • Michael Buccino(Owner, Michael Buccino Associates) • Director of Parks and Recreation, Sharon Heider • Asst. Director of Public Works, Marcus Fuller On January 15, 2009, the Evaluation Committee met to review the final ranking of the submitted proposals, following each Commlittee member's Independent review and evaluation of the proposals. As a result, the Committee concluded that there were two "top ranked"firms: Design Workshop and RGA Landscape Architects, Inc. These firms were invited to participate in a formal interview on February 19, 2009. Following the interviews, the Evaluation Committee met and considered RGA Landscape Architects, Inc., (RGA) as the most qualified firm. The firm proposes the following individuals as the primary staff assigned to this project Ronald Gregory, Rob Parker, and Reuel Young (who will be working in conjunction with RGA as a consultant). Staff has prepared a consultant services agreement with RGA who has offered to provide the required services in an amount not to exceed $63,540. Given the importance of this highly visible public project, staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to form a Steering Committee to work with RGA throughout the process of preparing preliminary and final schematic landscape designs. It is staffs recommendation that the Evaluation Committee be assigned this task as the Steering Committee, with the exception of Michael Buccino, on the basis that it might appear as a conflict of Interest having Michael Buccino indirectly coordinate the preparation of schematic landscape plans by another local landscape architect. 13 City Council Staff Report March 25,2009-Page 4 Tahquhz Canyon Way Mercian Design(CP 08-20) FISQAL IMPACT: Although this project was not included as a capital improvement project in the 2008=09 fiscal year budget, staff Is recommending that this project be funded from the foAowing Measure Y account: 261-249451525 (Desert Landscape Conversion). Staff notes that this account was first established as part of the 2006/2007 fiscal year budget, and has not yet been used for a desert landscape conversion project. The account was continued into the 2008/2009 fiscal year budget with a balance of$107,639. SUBMITTED. David J. Berakian Thomas J.
