N.1. 21-2509 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON AGREEMENT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH AND LISA PADILLA DBA CITYWORKS DESIGN FOR PREPARATION OF OBJECTIVE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
APPROVE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH LISA PADILLA DBA CITYWORKS DESIGN FOR PREPARATION OF OBJECTIVE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $139,955 TO BE REIMBURSED THROUGH SB2 GRANT FUNDS FOR THE TERM OF JUNE 1, 2021 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2022
The planning department is ready to update the existing residential design guidelines, including ADU’s per the administrative report. I wholeheartedly support this effort but I do have some questions and comments:
It is not clear to the public exactly what is meant by residential design guidelines. Please help the public understand more clearly what these design guidelines are and identify where they can found on the city website. Also, it is not clear how design guidelines and development opportunities are related. What do these terms mean and how do they relate to each other.
I support the proposal from City Works Design. I have read their information and I especially like the examples of their public outreach experience, their visualization services and the fact that they have a social impact designer on staff.
However, their effort at community engagement will be severely hampered and diminished if the RB website is not updated before this design guideline effort begins. I strongly suggest that additional funds be allocated to the Planning Department to include the Granicus Engagement HQ software. An example of this software can be found at the Newport Beach website called Newport Together. It is a full digital community engagement platform that allows you to build relationships with the community through feedback and easy communication. Please. Let’s be first in class when it comes to community engagement by using first in class software on our city website. We can do this.
