As with other Planning Commission meetings, each meeting will be publicly <br />noticed and advertised to an email list of interested parties. Time on each agenda <br />will be dedicated to public comment. Draft materials (e.g., narrative and/or <br />potential policies) will be provided to the Commission (and posted to the website) <br />the week prior to the meeting, providing time for advance review. As appropriate, <br />this task will include briefings to the City Council and other City commissions. <br />5.2 Revisions to the Land Use Map <br />This will be a collaborative task conducted jointly by Barry Miller, The Planning <br />Center I DC&E, and Planning Department staff. General Plan Land Use <br />categories will be reviewed. Changes to existing categories and density/ intensity <br />ranges will be made if needed. Designations will then be assigned to the Map <br />based on existing land use, existing zoning, and adopted planning initiatives. <br />It is expected that minimal changes to the currently adopted General Plan <br />Map will be made through this process. Barry Miller worked with City staff <br />recently (in 2011) to update the Land Use Map to incorporate the TOD Plan, the <br />Kaiser Hospital amendment, and other policy changes and recent developments. <br />While some changes may be required to reflect the Shoreline Development Master <br />Plan, the designations on the current General Plan Map are not expected to change <br />substantially. There may be minor edits to reflect land use changes since 2011 and <br />map changes which are consistent with existing initiatives or programs. Definitions <br />of General Plan categories also may be edited. Minimizing map changes will <br />reduce the scope and cost of the EIR and keep the dialogue focused on the <br />resolution of existing planning issues (such as traffic, economic diversification, and <br />community character). <br />Once the updated map is prepared, Barry Miller will prepare the land use data <br />inputs needed for traffic modeling. This task typically requires an estimate of the <br />number of households and jobs to be added to subareas (traffic analysis zones) <br />within the city. Citywide forecasts from ABAG will be used to establish parameters <br />for this process. The projections will cover land within the city and also land <br />outside the city but within the SOI and Planning Area. <br />5.3 Qualified GHG Emissions Reduction Strategy (OPTIONAL TASK) <br />The City of San Leandro adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2009. <br />Subsequently, both the State and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District <br />have adopted criteria clarifying what a CAP must include in order to be considered <br />a "qualified" plan for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as <br />incentives for communities that do adopt a "qualified" plan. A CAP or GHG <br />
