Specifications include, but are not limited to: updating and amending community plans and development regulations to help address the City’s climate and housing goals. The consultant’s services will support the Department’s work program initiatives being conducted by each division. However, it is anticipated that Community Planning and Housing Policy Division will primarily use the consultant services. To conduct planning work more efficiently to support the Department’s initiatives, the consultant will be on-call and be used on an as-needed basis. The planning consultant will collaborate with City staff on an as-needed basis in the area of historical and cultural resource planning, which may also require elements of architectural design, graphic design, geographic information systems (GIS), meeting facilitation, outreach and engagement, and environmental analysis expertise. Services will include preparation of historic context statements; collection of oral histories; preparation of historic resource surveys; preparation of historic district nominations; preparation of Multiple Property Listings (MPLs); and preparation of objective architectural design standards.
