Traffic / Access 4. Homeless Population 2. Safety LUPINE PLAZA CONCEPT DESIGN l CITY COUNCIL MEETING DESIGN RESPONSE TO KEY INPUTS 1. Plaza Character/Quality 2. Safety (from meetings w/ Subcommittee, Police, Fire and Public Works) • CPTED - practice CPTED design strategies • Lighting - integrated into elements and programmable • Landscaping - plants selected to preserve clear sight lines • Bollards / Emergency - folding/removable bollards to allow emergency access for 22’ clear zone • Restroom (optional) - Designed to prevent graffiti; able to monitor use from outside • Shade - Prioritizing shade to create passive respite; coordinate shade with seating materials • Quality Materials - stand up to weather; sturdy and heavy enough - concrete, metals • Public Art - Unifying strategy; not ad hoc • Multiple Functions / Variety of Seating - Accommodates a variety of users; the more activity the more “eyes on the street” LUPINE PLAZA CONCEPT DESIGN l CITY COUNCIL MEETING DESIGN RESPONSE TO KEY INPUTS 3. Traffic / Access 4. Homeless Population • Seating - breaks and barriers in seat walls/benches to discourage sleeping • Lighting - integrated into elements (benches, shade structure, etc.) and programmable (changing colors, etc.) to discourage sleeping • Electric Outlets - can be locked or can shut-off power to outlets for overnight hours • Water - running water feature; design to be too shallow for bathing • Regular Monitoring - Public Safety/Police coordination • Congestion - closing will not create congestion on surrounding streets/intersections • Parking - loss of only 8-9 on-street spaces; direct parking to underutilized lots (to the northwest) • Access - preserve all access points to surrounding lots • Signage - at HWY 111/Lupine Lane for Dead End • Loading - Dedicated on-street loading space • Turn-around - Leave space open for turn-around w/o relying upon private property (alley, parking lots) • Google Maps - Coordination to reroute directions LUPINE PLAZA CONCEPT DESIGN l CITY COUNCIL MEETING PLANT + COLOR PALETTE Plaza Use Botanical Name Common Name Height Spread WUCOLS / Water Needs Primary Shade Tree Tipuana tipu Tipu Tree 50’ 25’ - 50’ (spread is narrower in desert climates) Moderate / Medium Complementary Ornamental Tree Chilopsis linearis Desert Willow 30’10’ - 20’Moderate / Medium Landscape Planter and Rain Gardens Baccahris x ‘Thompson’Baccharis 2’ - 3’6’Low / Moderate Encelia farinosa Brittle Bush 3’ - 4’2’ - 3’Low Lantana montevidensis Purple Trailing Lantana 1’ - 2’4’ - 6’Moderate Lupinus succulentus Succulent Lupine 2’ - 4’3’Unknown Nolina microcarpa Bear Grass 3’ - 4’4’ - 5’Low Penstemon superbus Superb Penstemon 2’ - 4’3’Low Sphaeralcea ambigua Globe Mallow 3’3’Low Stipa tenuissima Mexican Feather Grass 2’3’Low Primary Color Secondary Colors Spacing of plants accounts for variations of plant size in desert climate LUPINE PLAZA CONCEPT DESIGN l CITY COUNCIL MEETING PUBLIC ART STRATEGY 2.

Applicable align- ment of Lupine Plaza: Ghg reduction goals, promote energy efficiency, increase use of low- er-carbon travel modes (active transportation), incorporate electrification or zero emission vehicle infrastructure, increase climate resilience, support domestic manufacturing, incorpo- rate lower-carbon pavement and construction materials, and reduce pollution. Urban Greening Program [California Natural Resources Agency] $50million (annual)Accept proposals: 2/7/2022 through 3/28/2022 (Target 2023 cycle) Construction Costs Fulfills one project requirement - acquire, create, enhance, or expand community parks and green spaces. Eligible urban greening projects will reduce GHG emissions and mitigate the effects of extreme heat. Opportunities for proposal priority points: 4. Uses inter-agency cooperation and integration and 5. Uses existing public lands and facilitates the use of public resources and investments. Environmental Enhancement & Mitigation (EEM) Program [California Natural Resources Agency] $7million (annual); $500k limit per project Accept proposals: 4/8/2022 through 6/3/2022 Construction Costs Applicable categories: Urban Forestry (offset vehicle emissions). Every EEM project must mitigate, either directly or indirectly, the environmental impacts of the modification of an existing Transportation Facility or impacts of the construction of a new Transportation Facility. Matching funds not required; projects with other sources are more competitive. Active Transportation Program - Cycle 6 or Cycle 7 [Caltrans] $100million (annual)Project Application Deadline: 6/15/2022 or June 2023 Construction Costs Palm Desert already submitting application for another project, can explore if there are any overlap opportunities. Lupine Plaza may not score well on socio-economic criteria as stand- alone project for Cycle 7. Sustainable Communities Grant - Fiscal Year 2023-2024 [Caltrans] Approximately $30million; $100k min / $700k max Grant Application Deadline: October 2022 Design / Construction Costs Forward the Region’s RTP/SCS. Successful planning projects are expected to directly benefit the multi-modal transportation system. These grants will also improve public health, social equity, environmental justice, the environment, and provide other important community benefits. 11.5% local match (cash, in-kind contribution, staff time). Sustainable Communities Program - Civic Engagement, Equity, & EJ [SCAG] TBD Opening Spring 2022 Design / Planning Costs Lupine Plaza likely would not score well in this application category. To support implementation of Racial Equity Early Action Plan, SCAG is seeking to prioritize proposals that fall within or directly benefit Communities of Concern and SB 535 Disadvantaged Communities (DACs). Sustainable Communities Program - Future Applications [SCAG] TBD TBD Design / Planning Costs Previous SCAG Sustainable Communities Program Applications: Smart Cities & Mobility Innovations (2021), Housing & Sustainable Development (2021), and Active Transportation & Safety (2020). Future calls for applications may be more appropriate for Lupine Plaza. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) Forest Health [California Conservation Corps (CCC)] $2.5million (annual)Project planners seeking to utilize the CCC can contact their nearest CCC center or email the CCC on how to partner with us. Applicable categories: 1) Urban & Community Forestry - increasing the urban tree canopy; 2) Urban Greening - expand or enhance neighborhood parks and community gardens. (GGRF) monies were appropriated to the CCC to provide formal and on-the-job training and work experience to complete projects that aid in reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Proposition 68 [California Conservation Corps (CCC)] $40million (total)For more information about consulting with the CCC, please email Prop68@ ccc.ca.gov, or contact Andrea Gabriel at (916) 341-3272. Fund projects that plan, develop, and implement climate adaptation and resiliency projects, including those that create or rehabilitate state or local parks.
