C I T Y O F S A N L E A N D R O SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND EIR • EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF WORK AND COSTS Declaration (IS/MND) for the Housing Element, since it will likely be brought forward before completion of the General Plan EIR. This scope and cost assumes that the City will not need to redesignate any parcels in order to identify adequate sites, and that the IS/MND can therefore rely on existing environmental documentation. No new technical studies are proposed solely for the environmental review of the Housing Element. Task 8. Environmental Review It is expected that all members of the project team will be involved in preparation of the General Plan EIR. The Planning Center I DC&E will have the lead role in this task and will coordinate the work of the technical subcontractors. Barry Miller will contribute to the drafting of the Project Description and Alternatives. He will also work closely with the EIR team to identify any new policies that may be necessary to mitigate potential Plan impacts. 8.1 Prepare Notice of Preparation and Conduct Scoping Meeting The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare the Notice of Preparation (NOP). Following the end of the 30-day public review period, we will review each comment and letter received. The Planning Center I DC&E will attend a public scoping session and record all public comments. After the meeting,The Planning Center I DC&E will summarize all public and NOP comments to be addressed in the Draft EIR. 8.2 Prepare Project Description The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare a project description including project objectives and details of the changes proposed in the General Plan Update. We will work with City staff and Barry Miller to ensure that the net change that could result from implementation of the General Plan Update is clearly described and quantified, to the extent feasible. Although this is envisioned as a Program EIR, we will look for opportunities to maximize the use of the EIR in the review of future development projects. As part of the Project Description, The Planning Center I DC&E will calculate buildout of the project to be evaluated in the EIR. City staff will need to review and approve the methodology used for this calculation. The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare an administrative draft set of buildout numbers,make any changes needed,and provide staff with an opportunity for a final review before using those numbers as the basis for evaluation in the EIR. Preliminarily, we recommend that the quantitative analyses in the EIR (traffic, noise, air quality, THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E 33 MARCH 3.2014
