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