A major site factor which will strongly influence the design of a retail center will be its elongated configuration in a north-south direction and its frontage on both North Palm Canyon Drive and North Indian Avenue. These factors in combination with applicable codes and ordinances shall strongly affect the design of the property. At the minimum, the follow- ing shall be analyzed: o Land use and zoning -- existing and proposed uses in the CBD and immediate vicinity with emphasis on the inter- relationships to maximize feasibility of each block. o Environmental -- existing and projected impacts to result from CBD development and impact on Block Number One. o Urban design -- unique design features of the site and its interrelationship with surrounding properties in terms of views, vistas, pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicular linkages, architectural styles, and characteristics from massing of buildings and spaces. o Transportation -- existing and projected traffic volumes and capacities on surrounding streets, plans for public transit, with emphasis on marketability of site and ability to provide easy access and egress from Block Number One. o Utilities -- existing and projected capacities and location of major networks in terms of linkage to Block Number One. KDG Agreement Page 2 1 .1 Determination of Program Opportunities The purpose of this task is to determine the range and mixture of act- ivities that would be most appropriate for Block Number One and establish floor area requirements for same including activity interrelationships. Basically, this task will involve examination of the Christopher Davis and Harris, Kerr, Forster reports with regard to the economic factors creating a market demand for a Specialty Retail Center. Subsequent to this basic analysis of population and shopping patterns, examine, using files in the Consultant office, the organization and structure of suc- cessful specialty centers elsewhere in California to determine the size, configuration, and intensity of activities which would be appropriate for Block Number One. Using this data, establish a preliminary program which is compatible with the ability of the site to accomodate develop- ment. This program will include type of activities, amount of floor area for each type, location, and interrelationship of activity types. 1 .2 Preparation of Preliminary Designs Using the results of Tasks 1 .0 and 1 .1 , prepare three preliminary design plans for Block Number One. Each alternative plan will convey a different "theme" and will be a mixture of activity types and amounts of same. The plans will consider the close coordination of land use planning and its architectural and economic consequences. Each plan shall consist of the following components: o Land Use Plan to show the amount, density and location of activity types for retail , service, restaurant, office and theatre uses. o Design Plan to show the intensity of activity and arrangement and placement of building forms in relation to each other and surrounding spaces including parking and access provisions. o Im lementation Plan to show the phasing of and scheduling of activities suc as acquisition, clearance, relocation, site preparation and disposition. Upon completion of these three alternative designs the Consultant will re- view each with the Agency and prospective developers to select the concept or portion of each that appears to be most feasible and satisfy the variety of viewpoints. On this basis, the Design for Development will subsequently be prepared. 1 .3 Preparation of Design for Development Based on the results of the preceding task, the Design for Development of Block Number One shall be completed. In essence, the DFD will be the over- all guide for the orderly and appropriate redevelopment of Block Number One and will be consistent with City of Palm Springs Community Development Policies and Programs. The DFD shall consist of: o Land Use Plan to show programmed space area requirements for each landuse category -- retail , office, hotel , restaurant, theatre, service as appropriate. Space area requirements shall be identified both for building area and for site area occupied by same in order to show the density and intensity of use. KDG Agreement Page 3 o Circulation Plan to show circulation routes for access to and egress from Bock Number One. In addition, parking and service areas shall be noted. o Illustrative Plan to show three-dimensional architectural char- acter of the Specialty Retail Center including special and unique design features . This urban design work shall be illustrated in "plan view" and by three "character sketches" at eye level to show the arrangement, placement, and treat- ment of buildings and spaces in relation to each other and the surrounding street environment. o Design Guides to identify acceptable materials, roofing forms and materials, signage, setbacks and orientation requirements, graphics, and landscaping for the Specialty Retail Center. o Implementation Plan to show the phasing of the Specialty Retail Center and the scheduling of activities. In addition, land costs shall be recommended relative to the acquisition and disposition of property by the Agency. This work shall be coordinated with Agency staff to establish a sound financial plan. 1 .4 Preparation of Final Report Throughout the course of this assignment, written memorandum and maps and plans showing design progress shall be provided for a suitable "working" format.
