C ITY OF S AN L EANDRO <br />S AN L EANDRO S HORELINE D EVELOPMENT P ROJECT EIR <br />EXHIBIT A: WORK SCOPE AND COSTS <br /> <br />THE PLANNING CENTER | DC&E 16 <br />MAY 1, 2013 <br /> <br />significance thresholds (based on employees and residents within the site). Additional <br />mitigation measures to reduce project -related GHG emissions impacts will be incorporated <br />as necessary. <br /> <br />f. Project Consistency with Plans Adopted to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions <br />The Planning Center | DC&E will conduct a consistency evaluation between the project and <br />applicable GHG reduction measures in the City’s CAP. Measures included in the CAP will be <br />recommended for inclusion in the project as project design features and/or mitigation <br />measures. MTC’s Plan Bay Area (the region’s SCS) is anticipated to be adopted in June <br />2013. The EIR will also include a consistency evaluation with applicable goals and policies to <br />reduce per capita GHG emissions from passenger vehicle use within the EIR. <br /> <br />3. B IOLOGICAL R ESOURCES <br />The biological resource assessment will be prepared by Jim Martin of Environmental <br />Collaborative and will rely on available information, including the 2007 Opportunities and <br />Constraints Analysis, together with a field reconnaissance survey. The site reconnaissance will <br />serve to identify and characterize terrestrial and marine biological communities associated <br />with the site and to assess their potential to support special-status species protected under <br />CEQA and project permitting with BCDC, CDFW, NOAA Fisheries (NMFS), and other state <br />and federal agencies. Federal, State and local policies and regulations will be summarized <br />and evaluated, such as the State and federal Endangered Species Acts and the City's Monarch <br />Butterfly Protection Ordinance as they pertain to biological resources. Potential impacts on <br />terrestrial and marine biological resources in the project vicinity will be identified, together <br />with an assessment of any adverse impacts on special-status species, sensitive natural <br />communities, important wildlife habitat, and potential jurisdictional wetlands. No detailed <br />surveys are proposed as part of this scope, or are considered necessary based on familiarity <br />with field conditions of the site. This will be confirmed during the initial reconnaissance, and <br />in the remote instance that additional field work is considered essential, a scope and cost will <br />be prepared for review by the City. Mapping on occurrences of special-status species and <br />sensitive natural communities maintained by the California Natural Diversity Data Base will be <br />finalized by The Planning Center | DC&E GIS staff. <br /> <br />4. C ULTURAL R ESOURCES <br />Tom Origer & Associates will complete archeological and architectural studies to address <br />cultural resources within the project site. Tom Origer & Associates will conduct the following <br />tasks to evaluate the proposed project’s impacts on cultural resources:
