The City Planning Department is responsible for long-range planning throughout the City, which includes 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’s services. To conduct planning work more efficiently to support the Department’s initiatives, the consultant will be used on an as-needed basis. The planning consultant will collaborate with City staff on an as-needed basis in the area of community planning, which may also require elements of land use, urban design, mobility, economic analysis, historic resources, public facilities, urban greening, climate resilience, and CEQA analysis. Services will require the use of graphic design, geographic information systems (GIS), meeting facilitation, outreach and engagement expertise. Services will include but are not limited to preparation of community plan updates, community plan amendments, development regulations, land use, housing and economic studies and reports.
