Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 07/02/2021 Rincon Consultants for Housing Element Update and EIR Exhibit A – Page 9 of 21 impact evaluation process. Where we see l ikely gaps in effective mitigation of potential environmental effects, we will suggest strengthened or additional policies and actions. By taking this approach, we avoid surprises and minimize (or eliminate) additional mitigation measures from the CEQA process. Rincon anticipates up to two rounds of review of the Land Use Element amendments. Each draft will be submitted electronically (Word) only, and we will respond to compiled, tracked changes from the City. The Land Use Element table of contents (including figures, tables, and charts), glossary, and index will be updated as appropriate to reflect changes made throughout the document. The final version of the Land Use Element will be provided as digital files (Word and PDF, and no hard copies have been assumed). We assume one round of review on the memorandum and elements. Deliverables: Draft and Final General Plan Amendments Recommendations Memorandum and Draft General Plan Elements Safety Element Amendment There have been a number of pieces of legislation approved over the past 5 years that require cities to update Safety elements. This is a selection of key legislation: ▪ SB 1035 requires a jurisdiction’s safety element to be revised to identify new information on fire hazards, flood hazards, and climate adaptation and resiliency strategies applicable to the city and county that was not available during the previous revision of the safety element. ▪ SB 379 requires all cities and counties to include climate adaptation and resiliency strategies in the safety elements of their general plans beginning January 1, 2017. The bill requires the climate adaptation update to include a set of goals, policies, and objectives for their communities based on the vulnerability assessment, as well as implementation measures. ▪ SB 99 requires a local government to review and update the safety element during the next revision of the housing element (on or after January 1, 2020) to identify residential developments in hazard areas that do not have at least two emergency routes. ▪ AB 747 requires a local jurisdiction to evaluate evacuation routes for their capacity, safety, and viability under a range of emergency scenarios in the safety element upon the next revision of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. ▪ AB 3065 requires cities and counties to allow the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection 90 days to provide comment on the draft Safety Element prior to adoption. Review and Evaluate Current Safety Element Rincon will review and evaluate the current draft version of the Safety Element to determine its compliance with State law. Rincon will identify any necessary updates to the City’s Safety Element to ensure that it complies with State regulations and maintains consistency with the updated Housing Element. To avoid duplication of research and analys is, our scope assumes that we will review the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (2017) and integrate climate adaptation and resiliency strategies, as appropriate.
