ensure that its policies are still relevant. For the implementing actions, it will <br />be important to identify those that have already been completed, those that are <br />on-going, and those yet to be initiated. <br />♦ Second, the audit will include a review of recent planning documents to <br />identify potential land use, transportation, urban design, economic <br />development, resource preservation, and community service directives that <br />should be incorporated into the General Plan. This would include a review of <br />the Downtown TOD Strategy, the Shoreline Development Master Plan, the <br />Climate Action Plan, the Complete Streets Resolution, the Next Generation <br />Workplace District Study, and similar documents. <br />♦ Third, this audit will set the stage for a targeted economic analysis. Strategic <br />Economics will review the relevant existing studies listed above, and other <br />information that may be available regarding San Leandro's goals and objectives <br />for the City's major commercial/ mixed use districts. Following this review, <br />Strategic Economics will meet with City staff, including staff from Planning, <br />Economic Development, and, as appropriate, Public Works, to discuss what <br />the existing information tells the City about how it might need to rethink <br />certain aspects of the General Plan. Strategic Economics will also discuss with <br />City staff how the targeted economic assessment (see task below) will be <br />structured to reconcile area -based goals with both short term market <br />conditions and longer term economic trends. The audit will clarify how the <br />General Plan can and should respond to longer term trends while still <br />supporting goals that the community has already identified. <br />In addition, Barry Miller will review recent development project EIRs (including <br />Kaiser's), plans for large sites, and other printed and digital materials which could <br />inform the planning process. Barry Miller will also review County and regional <br />planning documents with implications for future land use and transportation <br />decisions, including Plan Bay Area. In addition, Barry will identify policy "gaps" on <br />topics where planning guidance does not currently exist. This will include topics <br />which have been added to the General Plan legislative requirements since the 1992 <br />Plan was adopted, such as complete streets requirements and Native American <br />consultation, and topics which are not covered in the existing Plan but are of <br />interest to residents (e.g., sustainability, greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, siting of <br />wireless communication facilities, etc.) <br />The product of this effort will be a comprehensive inventory of potential policies <br />and implementation programs to be integrated into an updated General Plan.
