Rancho San Juan
Robert Schubert, AICP
Senior Planner
County of Monterey

The Monterey County Planning and Building Inspection Department would like to express our great appreciation for the service provided by PDC on the Rancho San Juan Specific Plan. Given that Rancho San Juan was one of the largest planned developments in Monterey County history and considering the prior litigation and controversy surrounding the project, PDC did an excellent job in preparing a plan that met the goals established for the project. These goals included the incorporation of two major plan alternatives for the Highway 101 alignments, consistency with the County General Plan and ADC guidelines, articulation of a new urbanist/sustainable design, and compliance with a court ordered stipulation agreement for the HYH portion of the project. Furthermore, PDC staff were very responsive to comments from the County and members of the public during the preparation of the specific plan.

We also appreciate PDC's efforts in developing the EIR and mitigation program. The mitigation measures contained in these documents are very detailed and comprehensive which will be critical to the ultimate success of the project.

Based on this experience we would welcome the opportunity to work with PDC in the future and would recommend your services to other public agencies needing assistance in the development of specific plans.

Additional RSJ Reference:

PDC is exemplary in the coordination of all the partners involved in the formation of the Specific Plan. The quality of the staff at PDC is exceptional and the product to date has exceeded our expectations.

As Needed Traffic Consultant and As-Needed Civil Consultant
Kelly Rogers
City of San Diego

This letter is to serve both as a reference and to thank you for the high level of customer service that you have provided me and my staff over the past six years. You have served as both the as-needed traffic consultant to the Engineering and Capital Projects Department and the as-needed civil consultant to the Park and Recreation Department. Having worked for both departments, I have had a good professional relationship with your firm. You met our very tight schedules and budgets while providing a quality end product. You have provided everything from traffic control plans, to sewer connections and post tension slab design. You have prepared accurate construction cost estimates and have done an excellent job communicating with us via telephone and e-mail during the preparation of your submittals. Additionally, you even scheduled time to attend our division staff meeting to present the procedure for the as-needed task process.

I have enjoyed working with your firm and look forward to working on future projects with you.
