INC. -CITY BRANDING Mayor Covey stated that the Council was given a presentation by Roger Brooks of Destination Development, Inc. on the proposed branding, marketing and signage for the City of Moses Lake. He pointed out that once this plan is endorsed, the implementation of the plan will come from the merchants rather than the city. There were some comments by the Council who were impressed by the improvements already made in the downtown area. Sally Goodwin, Moses Lake Business Association, stated that all entities involved in the improvements to Moses Lake are ready to move ahead with the project. Action Taken: Mr. Pearce moved that the plan proposed by Destination Development, Inc. for the brand identify be approved, seconded by Mr. Ecret, and passed unanimously TO COUNCIL AUG 1 4 2007 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I I Brand Development & Marketing Action Plan Executive Summary To be successful in tourism, an area must set itself apart from the many other communities offering similar activities and attractions. That art of differentia- tion helps create a unique image in the minds of visitors, making it a more attractive and desirable place to visit. People want activities that are unique. Finding a niche, developing it, and promoting it, are the keys to a successful tourism effort. This Touiism Branding, Development and Marketing Plan, prepared for the City of Moses Lake, outlines a specific course of inter-related actions to create that unique image by implementing a comprehensive "Lake Spotts" branding program in the community. The plan was developed after reviewing current facilities, resources, and marketing efforts; gauging community interest in the brand vision; and evaluating the potential for Moses Lake to develop a viable mix of events, retail tenants, and other visitor amenities to ensure success. It reflects an analysis of regional competition, as well as the community's marketing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Numerous com- munity residents, civic leaders, and business people were interviewed during the course of this research. Their opinions w_ere invaluable. The Vision The City of Moses Lake has long recognized the value of the natural resource for which it is named. Water is a precious commodity in central Washington for ag1icultural, commercial, and recreational purposes. The ''Lake Sports" brand is an obvious choice for Moses Lake, and presents the best opportu- nity for the community to capitalize on a-full-fledged revitalization, product development, and marketing effort ta attract more overnight visitors .. The "Lake Sports" brand is not only" the most natural choice, but it is the most economically feasible as well. The goal of this plan is to make Moses Lake a true destination, thereby attracting significant numbers of new visitors who will bring more revenue into the local economy. The fact that Moses Lake is surrounded by water is not the only factor. Equally important ·is the temperature of that water. Warm water is rare in the Pacific Northwest and represents a valuable lure, especially for those who are attracted to water for recreation. An important aspect of the "Lake Sports" vision is directly tied to warm water, namely, that Moses Lake is a great place to become introduced to new water sports. Whether learning to 10 • Moses Lake, WA • July 2007 p . (' c_ >.rec11/roc •.Jtt/11/J?a{'!f water ski, surf, ride a jet ski, or roll a kayak, it's a lot more pleasant in warm water than cold. Most of the large population centers in the Pacific Northwest are located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, where icy livers and lakes and frigid matine waters are the norm. Moses Lake is in a good posi- tion to attract a great many of these people across the mountains to enjoy their favorite activities in warm water for a change.' The key to the "Lake Sports" brand is offering a wide variety of water activities in a convenient location. The vision is to create more animation on the lake, make it easy for someone to decide to stop and rent watercraft, get something to eat, shop and be entertained, and enjoy a wide vatiety of activities. Visitors will travel to a destination if there are enough activities that appeal to them that will last four times longer than the time it took to travel there. To attract visitors from Seattle, Moses Lake will need to offer at least twelve hours of activities that cater to them (4 x the 3 hour drive). Getting visitors to stay overnight is the primary goal since they spend three times the amount of money as a day visitor. The shape of the lake makes it very suitable for having specific areas infor- mally designated for specific water sports. Water skiing and jet skiing can be offered in certain areas, while paddleboats, canoeing, and kayaking can be offered in quieter locations. Dragon boats can be used in a different spot. Other lake _activities can include swimming, wakeboarding, boardsailing, and fishing. Moses Lake can be the perfect place for people to come to learn any or all of these water spo1ts, in a sunny location with warm water. The water park is an excellent piece of the whole water sports package - offering still more, and different, water-based activities close to downtown. Visitors to Moses Lake are not going to spend all of their time on the water. Typically, the average visitor will spend four hours a day with their primary activity (lake sports), then ten to twelve hours with diversionary activities: shopping, dining, other recreatiOn, nighttime entertainment, events, markets, etc. The number one activity of visitors is shopping and dining in a pedestrian setting. For that reason, it is important to revitalize the downtown ~ Destination Development, Inc. I Brand Development & Marketing Action Plan core to make it more aesthetically attractive and pedestrian-friendly, and to provide the services, attractions, diversions, and amenities that tourists want. Once these resources are developed to a critical mass, visitors will want to return again and again. We believe that the "Laketown Landing" identity for the downtown district is a perfect complement for the "Lake Sports" brand, and it suggests a certain cachet that will appeal to upscale visitors. A good, complementa1y slogan helps communicate and promote the brand. It, too, was an· obvious choice. There's no better way to invite visitors to experience a warm water destination like Moses Lake than by simply stating "Jump In!" The slogan instantly conveys water. It suggests carefree abandon, a willingness to go for the gusto, a desire to seek out new challenges and adventure. This is what many visitors· hope to experience while they're on vacation. On another level, the slogan implies that there's a wealth of activities, events, and attractions available for every visitor. That's a tall order to live up to. It's critically important to be able to deliver on the promise. Therefore, before making the promise, you have to develop the product. Product Development In addition to several new branding and marketing products, this plan calls .for the development of new facilities and the upgrade of others in the city's parks and downtown core. Central to these efforts is providing new services· and facilities that will transform the city parks into the main activity points for the "Lake Sports" experience. With its variety of waterfront parks and expansive lake surface, Moses Lake is in an enviable position to offer a wide variety of water spo11 options. By concentrating water sports facilities and activities in these parks, they can be developed into the primary lure for attracting more overnight visitors. One key development will be the creation of a lake-wide water taxi service that connects the downtown and the far-flung park activity centers. This will require construction of a boathouse, ticket office, and new dock facilities. Private rental concessions also need to be recrnited for the parks. These should offer everything from canoes and pedal boats to ski boats and jet skis. 11 • Moses Lake, WA • July 2007 I> . f' ( ~:t'eClflto(' •. Jtf/11/Jl{f{'!f Other water entertainment features as well as food and beverage concessions need to be available at the parks. Establishing a regular float plane service from Seattle should also be explored to provide a steady stream of visitors who will rely on these concessions. At the same time, downtown Moses Lake needs to be developed into the primary diversionaiy destination for visitors. Downtown revitalization efforts already begun need to be expanded, a diverse dining district needs to be established, and a more vibrant mix of destination retail needs to be made available to satisfy the expectations of discerning visitors. In order to generate more visitor expenditures, .Moses Lake needs to diversify its downtown retail mix. We recommend zoning the downtown district for destination retail and contracting with a recruitment specialist to attract specific retail businesses and restaurants. The top priority shbuld be creation of a downtown dining district. Good food, curb appeal, attractive interiors, great service, reasonable prices, and multiple choices are the ingredients for a successful dining district. At least ten spots downtown should feature some evening entertainment. At least ten destination-oriented retail shops, which offer goods for both visitors and locals, should also be open evening hours. These retailers should be unique "mom and pop" establishments that offer goods and services not found in shopping malls. Beach and lakeshore improvements, building restoration, streetscaping, landscaping, facade improvements, banners, gathering places, and water features will contribute to the ambiance of Moses Lake, reinforcing the "Lake Sports" brand, and creating a unique destination that visitors and residents will enjoy over and over again. One of the most important factors influencing a visitor's decision about a destin.ation is convenience. This begins with the ease of planning the trip, and extends throughout the actual experience. With Moses Lake, the brand needs to be supported by amenities that make the visitor's expelience easy and enjoyable. This would include: 1. New signage and wayfinding ~ Destination Development, Inc. I i ! -1 ,. i • l s ~ , i .. ~ ~ ~ t ' Brand Development & Marketing Action Plan 2. Gateways into the downtown district "Lakefront Landing" 3. Visitor information kiosks 4. Downtown Wi-fi 5. Convenient parking 6. Convenient public restrooms The hea1t and soul of any community, besides its people, is its downtown, But if locals don't "hang out" downtown, neither will visitors. Moses Lake's downtown area has great potential. Older main streets and downtowns are being renovated in approximately 6,000 U.S. communities, mostly rural and smaller towns. After a hiatus of nearly 50 years, mixed-use town centers are now emerging as the wave of the future. The forces that have led to this transformation include changing market demands, shifting public policy, new urban design ideas, creative financing solutions, and cultural changes that are occurring as the tastes of the Depression-era generation yield to those of baby-boomers, echo-boomers, and beyond, particularly to their "quest for community," and creation of gathering places. The elements most commonly identified as missing by younger generations are what sociologist Ray Oldenburg has referred to as "third places." Third places are the traditional gathering places found outside the home (our "first place") and the workplace (our "second place"). Third places include cafes, pubs, town squares, small retail shops, village greens, and entertainment venues. The need for these "third places" is exemplified by the Gen-xers hanging out at the mall and seniors using them for morning walks. Creating a "third place" can put a community on the map and give it a focal point, a heart, an identity. Can a redeveloped downtown Moses Lake compete with existing shopping malls and big box stores? Dead and dying malls exist throughout the nation's suburbs. "Lifestyle centers," including renovated downtowns, are stealing business away from the competition, particularly enclosed indoor malls. Retail developers are rediscovering older main streets and downtowns and are actively seeking them out. Even traditional malls have discovered the power of gathe1ing places. For Moses Lake, what needs to be developed is a downtown that doesn't 12 • Moses Lake, WA • July 2007 f> • j' C>.L'<?Cttltoe f /{//I/}/{{{'!/ revolve around neighborhood retail, but is instead driven by destination retail, ente1tainment, events, and an active nightlife, all located in a compact, intimate, and beautiful setting. A true gathering place. A place residents enjoy and feel safe. A place where downtown workers have a variety of dining and shopping options. A place where both residents arid workers can congregate after business hours for dining and entertainment. · Downtowns will only succeed if they follow the same plinciples used by the best major lifestyle retail developers to satisfy consumer demands: Great storefront design with exciting visual appeal (exterior displays, beautification, alcoves, etc.) Traffic patterns that guide people to stores • Strategic tenant mix Inviting, clean, beautiful, and secure shopping environment Ample convenient parking Regular and generous shopping hours High-quality marketing, advertising, and management What brings people back is the casual public setting that town centers ··· provide for meeting, mingling, strolling, and people watching. What fuels the commercial success of town centers is the light mix of tenants, customers, and foot u·affic. This is not just about tourism. If a downtown can't attract residents, it won't atu·act visitors. The other component of successful downtown redevelopment is to provide experiences. Experiential attractions can be theater, aitists in action (a1t studios, arts incubators), street vendors and entertainers, farmers' markets, and themed restaurants and retail shops. The recommendations made in this plan will achieve these goals, but results require patience. The average revitalization program takes 10 to 30 years to complete. These new product development effo1ts will require funding from the private secto~ and the formation of public/private pa1tnerships. Following are the piima1y infrasuucture-related recommendations: 1. Develop water-based rental concessions as well as food and beverage concessions in the city parks. ~ Destination Development, Inc. Brand Development & Marketing Action Plan 2. Build docks and other facilities to support both a water taxi service and float plane service. 3. Develop gateways to downtown "Laketown Landing" district. 4. Create more off-street parking. 5. Build additional public rest rooms. 6. Develop public gathering places, including a permanent venue for an outdoor market. 7. Develop visitor information kiosks. 8. Install decorative crosswalks and intersections. 9. Plant shade trees and install more decorative street lights and banner poles .. 10. Encourage residential condominium and apartment development. 11. Recruit a waterpark hotel. 12. Develop a water-based public arts program. HOT funds will need to be redirected toward these product development efforts. The services of a professional business recruiter will also be required to attract the right develop~rs and bring this vision to fruition. Branding Development This vision requires a major branding program for Moses Lake with new logo, downtown district identity, slogan, and marketing materials. Community buy-in of this branding effort is critical to its success. What needs to be developed in Moses Lake is a thliving downtown driven by destination retail, entertainment, events, and an active nightlife. With these diversions in a compact, intimate, and aesthetically landscaped urban environment, Moses Lake can become a true destination. Marketing Direction Marketing· efforts will need to be redirected to support the new "Lake Sports" brand. Marketing materials should be redeveloped from the ground up. This includes a new website, collateral materials, profession.al public relations program, visitor information kiosks, and recruitment of more water-related events. HOT funds also need to be redirected to support these initiatives. Reorganization Two new organizations should be created. The Brand Development Com- 13 • Moses Lake, WA •July 2007 (J • (' u.:rcct1fme , Jtt/ll/ll{t{'!I mittee will control the brand and spearhead the community's product development efforts. The Design Review Board will regulate signage within the downtown district. To bring new businesses downtown, the City should contract with a professional recruitment specialist. To revitalize the down- town district and make it more attractive to visitors, ordinances should be adopted to permit sidewalk dining and street performers. Timing The process of branding a community and transforming it into a tourism destination takes several years to fully implement. A number of initiatives can be undertaken at little or no cost immediately. Others, particularly new capital construction and infrastmcture renovation, will take much longer. In the meantime, it will be important to not promote the brand before it can be delivered. This plan looks at the big picture: not just at current marketing efforts. In order to become a vibrant community with a thriving downtown that attracts visitors for overnight stays, the Moses Lake community will need to work together, collectively, on implementation of many of these recommendations . ... Plans fail when they are implemented piece-meal. It's important to look at the plan as a jigsaw puzzle. Without all the pieces, the puzzle is incomplete, and doesn't make a total picture. It falls apa1t. Missing pieces of the plan may also lead to an unsuccessful effort. For a successful effort, we recom- mend implementation of the plan in its entirety. ~ Destination Development, Inc.

October 20, 2009 Moses Lake City Council City of Moses Lake 321 S. Balsam St. Moses Lake, WA 98837 u RE: DDI Plan -Signage & Wayfinding ~ HOSES LAKE VISION 2020 u Dear Honorable Mayor Covey & City Councilmen, Vision 2020 has created a sub committee to look at signage and wayfinding. The committee was made up with representatives of large and small private business, Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce and Moses Lake Business Association. Attached is a priority list of signage that we feel needs to be implemented first. The signage that the City has already put up is looking great and gateway signage along with wayfinding signage will enhance those efforts and give our community a consistent look. Most importantly it will provide our guests with the tools they need to find their way around with the most amount of ease. A significant amount of money is being spent on activities and marketing that bring tourists into our community and we want them to be able to have a great experience while here and signage will certainly assist with that by getting them to the places we want them to see. We ask the City Council to make signage and wayfinding a priority at this time and budget money to implement in 2010. erely, ~ ~~-I(~ Bill Ecret Vision 2020 Chairman Signage Committee Chair ··' .... u Vision 2020 Proposed Signage 9/15/09 u The following is the proposed signage list prioritized based on the most need. Whlle we recognize the magnitude of this project, we feel it is important to our community and ask the City of Moses Lake to begin as soon as possible. It is our intent to stay consistent with the recommendations from the DDI plan. Example of signage on page 21 DDI August 2007 Plan. Gateways I Entry Points • Exit 176 • Exit 179 At these entry points we feel a sign welcoming visitors to our community is appropriate and we should call out our primary destination points. These signs should be located as close to the 1-90 interchange as possible. Since this is a sign that people will view while driving, we are not able to call our all our attractions, but the following locations should be identified with arrows and approximate miles to location. • Larsen Ball Fields and Rec Center • Lake Town Landing I Sinkluse Square • Surf & Slide Water Park/ Centennial Amphitheater • Fairgrounds Secondary signage is needed at Pioneer Way and Hwy 17, 3rd Ave. and W Broadway, Pioneer Way & 51h/Wheeler Rd. and Broadway and Alder/Stratford Rd. again calling out the direction and distance to the above mentioned attractions. Some additional secondary signs should also be at Pioneer & 3rd Ave, and Stratford & Valley. Some additional locations to call out could be the following. The appropriate secondary signs would need to also be implemented to guide visitors to those locations. • Lauzier Fields • Kvamme Flelds • Cascade Park • Connelly Park It is our intent to call out the large signage first and then layer on additional signage as time and funding permits. We feel this is just the beginning of the signage needed to make our community "visitor friendly''. The next step would be to call out the public access to our lake (since we are trying to brand ourselves as the water sports capital of our state). A third gateway would also be good for those entering from the North. f=ebruary 6, 2009 Moses Lake City Council City of Moses Lake 321 S.

This is one of the easiest ways to increase visitor spending in Moses Lake. : The new system incorporates graphics and slogans that support the "Lake Sports" brand. The entire system has consistent design, style, and sizing to create continuity thmughout the community. · Gateway signs are a ve1y impo1tant component of the plan and need to make a strong impression. They should be positioned at four key entry locations to the downtown core, built as pairs on both sides of each street to establish true gateways into the "Laketown Landing" district of downtown Moses Lake. (These should be free-standing, not arched over the streets so they can be moved as the district expands.) Gateways are critical to create a sense of arrival and awareness of place. Have you ever noticed the money that residential developers put into the entrances of new housing subdivisions? Why do they spend hurtdreds of thousands of dollars for outstanding entrances? Because they elevate the appeal of conununities, increase the perceived value of homes and lots, create a true sense of place, and prompt potential buyers to think "this looks like a nice place to live." These same principles apply to a community. If done properly, gateways help slow traffic, identify places for visitors to spend money, instill community pride, and increase the perceived value of the community. The complete program can be implemented over a three-year period, ; although a savings of approximately 20 percent will be realized if it is implemented in a single phase. 53 -~ Moseslake,'.WA : •.

Description: New Gateways into the downtown "Laketown Landing" district as outlined in the "Brand Style Guidelines for Moses Lake" should be developeg to. support the new branding effort. . : : Implementation: City of. Moses Lake Approximate costs: To be determined. Gateways can be simple or extravagant. Possible funding sources: City of Moses Lake general funds Timeline for implementation: 2009 ·. 71 • Moses Lake, WA • May 2007 .. 1 . .. ·- !!3vJ~u:f: .Clf ecommencl.atio/1s. Rationale for recommendation: The primary objective of the revitalization effort is to develop a gathering place for local residents and visitors to the community. A place that people are drawn to, are proud of, and where they can spend money. This requires making downtown Moses Lake a destination. Like any destination, it starts with the creation of boundaries and gateways that identify the core area and establish a "sense of place." It also gives visitors a sense of arrival. The gateways should be built at strategic locations around the perimeter of the "Laketown Landing" district. They should occur in pairs and be placed on both sides of each street to create true gateways. They also need to be constructed in such a manner that they can be easily moved as the district expands. · One of the most important benefits of an attractive gateway is that it instills a mall-mentality among downtown businesses. They become part of an identifiable destination, recognizing the value of establishing common operating hours and sharing common goals and effo1ts regarding marketing, signage, parking, and public amenities. · ... ;· ~ Destination Development, Inc. Fabricated (steel or aluminum square tube) four sided structures ore placed on either side of the street. A powder-coated sign (Laketown Landing! is held within a steel frame. Panels w ith the swirl graphic occupy three sides of the upper part of the structure. Inside the vertical port of the gateway frame ore three or more 6" wide colored banner strips attached to a swivel at the top of the structure and reach to the ground level. They move and flutter in the wind. They loosely represent the flow of water. May 22, 2014 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City Manager For City Council Consideration Municipal Services Director Deviation -Driveway Standards Pilgrim Street Office Building 1651 South Pilgrim Street Nathan Nofziger, Western Pacific Engineering and Surveying, requests a deviation to the driveway standards to allow constructing a driveway within 4.5 feet from the northerly property line. This will accommodate the new Pilgrim Street Office Building that will be occupied by DSHS staff. The Moses Lake Community Street and Utility Standards require driveways along commercial tertiary streets to be 20 feet from property lines.

Pilgrim St., Moses Lake, WA 9883 7 WPES Project #14421 Dear Mr. Gary Harer, Western Pacific Engineering & Survey, on behalf of our client, would like to request a deviation of the City of Moses Lake driveway set back requirement of 20' from an interior lot line for the driveway located in the westerly comer of the property of the Pilgrim Street Office Building project. Attached you will find a partial copy of the Site Plan that has been approved by the Building Department. Leaving the driveway in its current location will aid in the movement of large sized vehicles, like garbage and fire trucks, and will increase the overall circulation pattern. Furthermore, moving this driveway would likely eliminate three (3) parking stalls which we feel are necessary for the project. Thank you for your consideration on this matter. If you should have any questions, please give us a call at (509) 765-1023.
