C I T Y O F S A N L E A N D R O S A N L E A N D R O GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND E I R E X H I B I T A: S C O P E O F WORK AND COSTS Task 5 Policy Development and Land Use Map Update 5.1 Develop New General Plan Policies and Actions The development of new (or updated) policies and actions is one of the most critical tasks in the General Plan Update. This task builds on the outcome of Tasks 2, 3, and 4. It synthesizes existing conditions data, existing policies, and community'input to generate new or edited policies for the updated Plan. Barry Miller will draft a set of updated goals, policies, and actions to be incorporated in the new General Plan. For issues where policy choices exist, different policies may be drafted for discussion. Policies will be accompanied by actions (or programs) which provide guidance on implementation. As in the existing General Plan, some of these actions might reference on-going activities or operating procedures,and others might call for specific projects or directives to be taken by the City after the Plan is adopted. One of the key areas of policy change in this General Plan Update will be the Circulation Element. Barry Miller will have primary responsibility for updating Circulation Element policies, with technical review by Kittelson. Policy recommendations will address existing policies like LOS thresholds, and potential policies for multimodal LOS standards or context-sensitive LOS standards,as well as critical new policies implementing the City's adopted Complete Streets resolution. Kittelson will review the Complete Streets policies and address the implications of implementing these on the Circulation Element. The review will identify how the current Circulation Element addresses all transportation system users,and evaluate how Complete Streets policies could be applied in San Leandro. Kittelson will review these policies and provide input to the team on the implications of implementing these in San Leandro. After review by City staff,it is expected that draft policies and actions will be vetted with the Planning Commission (in their capacity as the GPAC) through a series of topical study sessions. Each Study Session will be structured to review a major General Plan subject area(e.g., the Land Use Map,Transportation, Hazards,Parks, Sustainability, etc.). Commission members will review policies and actions and offer feedback to the consultant ream on wording, additional topic areas, and the appropriateness of various measures. Other commissions will be consulted as appropriate. THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E 22 MARCH 3.2014
