ATTACHMENT B
Exhibit A
l PHASES
The approach to the General Plan Update and the Environmental Impact Report work program
envisions the project to be broken down into mayor phases, reflecting integrated public
participation and analytical processes These four phases-1) Visioning/Background
Studies/Opportunities and Challenges Assessment, 2) Development of Vision, Guiding Principles,
Goals, and Objectives, 3) Draft General Plan and EIR, and 4) Final ETR and adopted General
Plan—are outlined below, and build upon community visioning conducted for the Strategic Plan
This scope of work does not include preparation of the Zomng Code - or a fiscal model, these will
be additional services, should the City so desire to secure these services from the consulting team
Throughout these phases, the General Plan update will need to address the mayor issues being
faced by the City Understanding what these are and how they are perceived will evolve as the
program proceeds, it is essential to retain flexibility to address and respond to specific concerns
within the State mandated context of what a General Plan is and how it is intended to be used
The General Plan will be laid out in an easy to read format (potentially I I" x 17"), have a visual
orientation, and be richly illustrated with drawings, sketches, graphs/charts, and photographs
The General Plan will be organized around "themes" (such as "Small Town Character and
Identity", "Active Living", etc), which integrate the Guiding Principles
Phase 1. Visioning/Background Studies/Opportunities and Challenges Assessment
Visioning Given significant changes since 2006 when the General Plan vision was last
developed, additional outreach will be undertaken to refine and confirm the Vision/Guiding
Principles This will include workshops, two community surveys, and stakeholder meetings (staff
led effort)
Land Use and Vacant/Opportunity Site Survey A complete land use data layei will be created
from existing data sources where available, and third party sources Windshield surveys will be
used to confirm the Iand use data, which will be given to the City as an ArcGIS data layer, and
displayed on printed maps Significant vacant parcels and parcels with redevelopment potential
will be surveyed in more detail and identified in the Opportunities and Challenges task
Existing Conditions, Opportunities and Challenges Assessment A comprehensive assessment
of all of the existing conditions, trends, and opportunities and challenges—physical, economic,
and environmental--will be undertaken This assessment will provide the springboard for the
alternatives, basis for policies in the General Plan, and the setting for the General Plan EIR
Phase II Strategies and Preferred Plan
Framework/Strategies Strategies for key opportunity areas will be brainstormed and developed,
drawing upon ideas that have emerged from the community forums and discussions with the City
on land use concepts and classifications Key goals for emerging themes---such as active living,
sustainability, and economic vibrancy—will be developed Land use maps will be supplemented
with visualization of selected areas
Preferi ed Plan. In close cooperation with the community (including citywide workshops and
decision-maker meetings), Staff, and decision-makers, a Preferred Plan will be prepared The
D Y E T T & B H AT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of Work
Urban and Regional Planners
Z
Preferred Plan will encompass the land use and urban design framework, including issues related
to development intensities and building massing, to provide the basis for preparation of detailed
proposals in the General Plan Goals for key topics will be identified, providing the bridge
between the Preferred Plan and detailed policy development
Phase III Draft General PIan, Draft Climate Action Plan,Economic Analvsis Model and
EIR
Draft General Plan The Draft General Plan will be organized around themes that tie back to the
vision and preferred plan, and will cover all of the State-mandated elements as well as topics such
as urban design and growth management, The Plan will be forward-looking and policy-driven,
rather than including lengthy background material Policies will be written with the intent of
establishing the basis for implementing ordinances and other actions This will be laid out in an
easy-to-read format, with rich use of photographs, drawings, and three-dimensional visualization
It will be provided to the City in a format so as to be easily accessible on the web The Draft
Climate Action Plan and the Economic Analvsis Model will also be -ore-oared, policies and
mouams will be designed to be svneri4istic with the General Plan f
Environmental Impact Review Impact assessment will be conducted parallel to General Plan
preparation, so that mitigation can be built into the General Plan, resulting in a -self-mitigating
Plan The impact assessment, documented in the Draft EIR, will be circulated for public review
and then finalized with the responses to comments meeting all CEQA requirements The Final
EIR will consist of responses to comments on the Draft EIR
Phase IV Presentation and Hearings and Adopted General Plan
Presentation. Availability of the General Plan will be announced to the commumty, and an open
house held Hearings with the Planning Commission and the City Council will be undertaken
Adopted General PIan and Climate Action Plan. The adopted General Plan and Climate Action
Plan will be prepared
2 PROJECT DIRECTION
The Consultant will work closely with a General Plan Project Administrator and Planning Staff
The Planning Commission and City Council will be involved in study sessions at key decision-
making stages during the project A General Plan Steering Committee (GPSC), consisting of
approximately 10 members, will serve as a sounding board and provide direction In order to
ensure timely completion of the General Plan, the GPSC's role will be focused — to provide
guidance for development of a Preferred Plan and key strategies In addition to the six GPSC
meetings, GPSC members will also be expected to participate in the community workshops
(minimum of one workshop in each of the two rounds of workshops, for a total of eight meetings)
3 SCOPE OF WORK
This section outlines the proposed work program for all phases of the Redlands General Plan
Update The program is organized into six tasks, from project uutiation to pubinshmg the final
General Plan and the EIR

The task-by-task descriptions that follow present the approach to data collection, community
engagement, policy formulation and preparation of the documents Each task description includes a
purpose statement at the beginning Proposers should clearly state any changes they recommend to
this work program, and additionally identify the firms responsible for each task
The Scope of Work below incorporates the City Council/Planning Commission meetings, and the
community/neighborhood workshops
TASK I KICKOFF & VISIONING
The objective will be to conduct a series of introductory and organizational meetings, and began
the outreach process for the General Plan Update An introductory meeting between the
consultant team and City staff will occur Based on these introductory meetings and evaluation of
existing information, any needed refinements will be made to overall project management and
organization, staffing, schedule and deliverables, and quality control measures to ensure
cohesiveness and consistency of the final products Also included in this task is fine-tuning the
Public Engagement Program The task's primary work will be to reach out to the community with
a wade variety of tools for engagement and participation Using the 2006 outreach effort as a
starting point we will reassess the community's key issues priorities, and goals, and develop a
vision statement that wall guide development of the General Plan
A Conduct a Kickoff Meeting with the General Plan Administrator and City Staff The
consultants will meet with members of the City staff to review community issues and the
work program At these meetings data sources will be identified, roles and responsibilities will
be clanfied, communication protocols will be established, and work program modifications
will be discussed The General Plan Planning Area will also be confirmed At this meeting
• Roles and responsibilities for the General Plan Update, and the overall schedule will be
reviewed
• City staff will provide the team with an overview of existing plans and programs, facility
plans,pipeline development, mayor opportunities, and issues
• Results of the community outreach during the previous phase of the General Pian Update
process and the Guiding Principles, and the preliminary outreach program drafted for the
renewed General Plan update will be reviewed
B Gather Existing Information. City staff and D&B will work to gather existing information
needed for the General Plan, such as existing planning documents, facility plans, existing land
use, and details on the status of proposed and approved development projects
C Prepare Draft Public Engagement Program and Schedule A detailed outreach and
participation plan will be developed, incorporating feedback gained from the kickoff meeting
The final work program and schedule will include meetings with decision-makers, public
workshops, community surveys, a project website and social media component, and
stakeholder interviews (expected to be conducted by staf) A meeting schedule with topics
will also be finalized
D Establish Protect Website Consultant will develop a standalone project website Interim
designs will be reviewed with staff before the site is finalized Information on the project
Work Program, Public Engagement Program, upcoming participation opportunities, and
reports and documents produced and other material will be placed on the project website
Links to any ongoing commumty surveys will also be provided

E GPSC Meeting #1 At this first meeting, GPSC members will be introduced to the General
Plan update GPSC's role for the General Plan Update, and overall meeting schedule with
topics for each meeting will be reviewed Key results of the community outreach conducted
during the previous phase of the General Plan Update process will be reviewed City staff and
Consultant will describe the effort, time line and milestones, and get feedback from decision-
makers on (1) What they see as priorities, and (2) Any questions they want to see included as
part of the community survey
F Citywide Invitation and Announcements General Plan Administrator. The City will take
the lead in announcing the project at various forums, inviting the community to take an online
survey, attend a workshop, and sign up to be on the email list for the project In addition
participation opportunities will be advertised through utility bills, Nextdoor, and the City's
Facebook page and website
G. Community Survey To help ensure broad-based community input, we will conduct an
online survey with carefully prepared questions to reveal residents' vision for Redlands and
priorities for the Plan update The survey will be conducted using a web-based tool such as
MetroQuest, and will be made available to all residents in both English and Spanish Survey
results will be tabulated and presented in a concise report Our scope assumes that the City
will be responsible for the software cost (such as MetroQuest) of the survey D&B will work
with the General Plan Administrator on the survey questions, and compile the results
H Public Workshops (2) A set of engaging, interactive workshops will be held to further assist
the team in "scoping" issues and understanding perspectives specific to topics such as land
use planning, community design, economic development, and mobility The meetings will be
designed to facilitate the participation of a wide diversity of residents, business people, and
other stakeholders The same workshop may be held twice (once on a Saturday, once on a
weekday evening) to generate more involvement Alternatively, the two workshops could
focus on different thematic issues (Design of the workshops will be established in the final
Public Engagement Program) A short report will summarize the workshop results
I Draft Vision Statement and Emerging Themes. Consultant will develop an updated Draft
Vision Statement and Emerging Themes for the new General Plan, based on what was heard
from the community, stakeholders, and decision makers during this first phase of outreach

TASK Z DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS (EXISTING CONDITIONS,
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES ASSESSMENT)
This task will run concurrently with Task I The ohjective will be to obtain and compile
background information, analyze long-term trends, summarize the opportunities and constraints
in Redlands, and identify key factors that will affect planning decisions For many topics, the
background assessment will serve as the "setting"for the Environmental Impact Report
This report will summarize existing conditions in the Redlands Planning Area with regard to the
entire range of subject matter affecting physical development, including land use and population
distribution, employment centers community character, urban design, neighborhood livability,
transportation, parks and open space, historic resources, conservation of natural resources, and
safety Economic and fiscal information will also be considered, as will regional trends that have
an impact on the city
The report will be visually rich and written to be easily understood by the public and decision-
makers A series of computer-based maps for various topics will also be prepared and included in
the report
For each topic, this report will present
• Background data and information,
Analysis of the information for its pertinence to the General Plan Update, and
• Policy implications of the analysis and resulting issues
A Obtain and Compile GIS Database Using the City's existing GIS data and other sources,
and fieldwork, the Consultant will prepare a computerized base map for the display and
analysis of Planning Area Iand data All GIS information and database development will be
coordinated to be compatible with ArcGIS
B Conduct Land Use SurveyNacant Parcel Survey Building on information obtained from
the City, community partners, and Metroscan, focused windshield surveys will be conducted
to verify land use data accuracy and to identify underutilized parcels The fieldwork efforts
will focus on key opportunity areas, such as downtown and transit villages A complete land
use data layer will be prepared, which will serve as the basis for calibration of the
transportation model, land use analysis, and strategics Significant vacant and underutilized
parcels will also be identified, based on a variety of considerations
C Stakeholder Interviews City staff will conduct interviews with stakeholders for a deeper
dive on issues, concerns, and ideas from specific stakeholder perspectives The list of 66
stakeholders interviewed during the previous Update process will be updated and revised to
reflect current groups and leaders City staff will be responsible for synthesizing the input and
preparing any resulting meeting summaries

D. Prepare Opportunities and Challenges Report. A descriptive profile of the Redlands
existing conditions will be prepared This will involve the compilation of baseline data for
each General PIan topic/section, and evaluation of this data to identify their planning
implications The latter will contribute to the framework of critical issues and challenges
impacting the city to be addressed by the updated General Plan This data will be compiled,
textually described, mapped, and analyzed Maps,photographs, illustrations, tables, and charts
will be extensively used to facilitate understanding of the data The following topic areas will
be addressed (these topic areas are expected to be adjusted to a more vision-based chapter
organization for the General Plan itself)
Land Use
The consultant team will
Depict the city of Redlands within is regional context with maps showing locations,
adjoining cities/towns (incorporated and unincorporated) as well as public lands
– Identify existing land uses within the City and depict these on the base map based on
information available from the City
Map land uses outside the city, within the larger Planning Area—that is, communities
of Crafton and Mentone Areas outside the City may be mapped in less detail than foi
the urbanized area, but will be shown in order to present a comprehensive picture for
the entire Planning Area
– Tabulate the acreage of each category of use and, where information is available, the
associated quantity of development such as the number of housing units and
commercial and industrial square footage Land use densities/intensities (units per acre
for housing and floor area ratios for commercial and industrial uses) will be specified
– Identify specific plans and master development plans and depict these on the base
map, and describe their intended use and character
– Identify the capacities of lands that are zoned or planned for new development or
redevelopment (numbers of housing units, commercial and industrial building square
footage, open space acres, and so on)
– Identify infill opportunity sites (such as in central Redlands) and the issues warranting
a possible revision of their land use designation With staff, Consultant will also
review the City's overall use and development pattern and identify any other existing
uses that may be replaced of intensified due to their economic obsolescence, physical
deterioration, or incompatibility with adjacent uses
– Identify opportunities for transit oriented development (TOD), especially around the
planned Metrolink stations
– Outline key proposals and outstanding issues relating to the Downtown Specific Plan
Population, Household and Lahor Force Characteristics, and Trends
Existing Conditions Assessment
Consultant will assemble, organize, and concisely summarize a wide range of information
about the City's population, demographic, household, income and labor force characteristics
Understanding the scale and composition of Redlands' current population is an essential step
D Y E T T & B HAT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of work
Urban and Regional Planners
in projecting future conditions under both baseline trends and alternative General Plan Update
policies designed to alter those trends
Consultant will assemble relevant data on the Redlands population's social and economic
characteristics (e g , age, race, ethnicity, households, income, poverty, educational attainment,
mobility, nativity and employment status), currently and over the past several decades The
profile will draw primarily on data available from the US Census Bureau, but will also include
post-2010 census estimates prepared by the California Department of Finance and the
Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) The City's socio-economic
characteristics will be compared with San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire as a
whole To the degree possible, differences in characteristics between City subareas (e g, the
Northside) will also be reported Every effort will be made to build on, rather than duplicate,
analysis that may have already been prepared by City staff
Protect Baseline City-Snecific Population and Households
Consultant will prepare a general baseline projection of population and households, based on
a combination of the General Plan and recent population and demographic trends
Understanding the probable evolution of the City's population is a central consideration in
fashioning appropriate goals, objectives and policies for the General Plan. The age profile of
the population, in particular, influences the scale of demand for housing of various types,
suitable modes of transportation, purchased goods and services, cultural and arts activities,
and many kinds of public services, including schools, parks and open space It also has a
direct affect on the size of the City's labor force, and hence its capacity to balance jobs and
housing opportunities Inasmuch as Redlands is part of a very dynamic urban region, the scale
and composition of its population will be influenced by many external forces, as well as the
characteristics internal to the City that attract people to reside there
Consultant will project the probable scale and general composition of the City's population
and its households over the planning horizon, but assuming no changes to current
development standards or basic population trends This work will draw on and be compared
with forecasts prepared by SCAG
Employment and Economic Characteristics and Trends
Existing~Conditions Assessment
Consultant will assemble, organize, and concisely summarize a wide range of information
about the City's economic and employment characteristics A thorough understanding the
City's current competitive position in the sub-regional and regional economies is critical to
beginning a thoughtful discussion about strategic choices that may be available to help guide
the City toward an appropriate economic development strategy
Consultant will assemble relevant data on the structure of Redlands' economy and the
characteristics of employment by place of work within the City (e g , numbers of jobs,
unemployment rate, distribution ofjobs by industry sector, number of firms, size of firms, and
average payroll characteristics), including changes over past decades Data sources will
include City-specific employment and payroll by industry sector available from the California
Employment Development Department, ZIP code-level data from the US Census Bureau's
County Business Patterns, the Census Transportation Planning Package, employment

estimates prepared by SCAG, as well as other data that may be available from the City's
Economic Development Department and the local Chamber of Commerce
The City's economic and employment characteristics will be compared with San Bernardino
County and the Inland Empire as a whole, including a "location quotient' analysis that can be
used to characterize the City's competitive strengths by industry sector To the degree
possible, differences in characteristics between City subareas (e g, the Northside) will also be
reported Here again, every effort will be made to build on, rather than duplicate, analysis that
may have already been prepared by City staff
Industry Sector and Emnlovment Protections
Consultant will also project land use-specific employment and economic growth., based on
SCAG and other projections for new non-residential development, which will be developed in
consultation with City staff
The projections will assist the Project Team to frame a reasonable set of alternative growth
scenarios for public review and comprehensive analysis They will also result in analysis tools
that will be useful in analyzing the growth scenarios and the preferred General Plan
alternative
Consultant will develop alternative projections of employment associated with meeting
demand for various types of commercial development, including commercial office, retail,
industrial and hotel uses The projections will cover a range of assumptions for each land use
For example, the commercial office and industrial employment projections may consider
constant shares of office and industrial employment, as projected by SCAG, as well as the
City's weighted average shares of future County employment by specific industry sectors in
which work is typically performed in an office or industrial environment The retail
employment projections will consider both the City's weighted average future share of
County retail employment and retail employment derived from projections of future retail
spending in the City by households, visitors and non-resident workers The hotel projections
will be based on justified room nights of demand, by demand subsectors (e g , transient and
business guests) and alternative assumptions about future rooms supply
Here again, initial projections will be based on recent trends, but not on any future policies
designed to alter those trends Initial results will be compared with SCAG employment
growth forecasts for the City to 2040 These projection techniques will also be used to analyze
alternative growth scenarios and the recommended General Plan alternative
This task will also include a general assessment (but not a market demand analysis) of
prospects and considerations for future development focused on educational, medical and high
technology uses, and tourism
Growth Management
Pace of development in the City, and the implications of the various voter-enacted measures
on residential growth and buildout population will be presented
Community Design
Community design analysis will focus on key districts that provide Redlands with its identity,
and areas with greatest opportunity for land use change These will include downtown and the
D Y E T T & B HAT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of Work-
Urban and Regional Planners
9
transit villages For downtown, much recent effort has been undertaken as part of the (draft)
Downtown Specific Plan planting effort This effort will be reviewed for its implication on
the General Plan For the transit villages, the planning efforts to date will be analyzed and
issues related to community design and identity identified
Using GIS, Consultant will analyze city and neighborhood walkability—accessibility to
shops, services, downtown, and open spaces
Consultant will review recently-built projects, design and development regulations in the
Zoning Ordinance, and see how these match with community values and Iivability desires,
and what changes in City policies and standards will foster better urban design
Transportation Systems& Circulataofa
Consultant will prepare a baseline transportation analysis, describing and quantifying existing
systems and services as well as the policy framework related to highways, streets, air, freight
and commuter rail,public transit,pedestrian and bicycle systems This effort will make use of
traffic count information compiled as part of our traffic model development process, as well
as data available through the City's GIS resources and other information obtained from
responsible planning and transportation agencies The baseline transportation assessment will
cover fiinctional classification of City streets, existing traffic volumes and levels of service
on major roadways (57 roadway segments were listed in the last General Plan, 1994 version)
or major intersections (up to 25 intersections) where traffic data is available through other
sources, and on freeway segments, existing transit (rail and bus) services and facilities,
bicycle and trail systems, Redlands Municipal Airport, and existing goods movement facilities
including trucks and rail Consultant will make extensive use of GIS resources to produce
maps of the existing systems and services to accompany the written descriptions
Consultant will also review the existing policy framework affecting the modes of
transportation studied above, including policies in the current Redlands General Plan and in
other relevant City and regional planning documents Of particular interest in this effort will
be a review of the City's level of service standard, in comparison with standards in other
comparable jurisdictions Potential adjustments to the City's transportation policies will be
identified and discussed with staff and decision-makers SB 743 will allow cities to use a
measure other than Level of Service to assess transportation impacts as defined by CEQA,
however, LOS may still be the best measure for planning improvements to the roadway
system
Consultant will utilize the SBTAM travel demand forecasting model that is currently being
completed by SANBAG to assist in preparing traffic forecasts for this project Consultant will
evaluate all modeling parameters that are dependent upon land use to insure that the City and
immediate surrounding area are properly modeled based upon existing developments and
general plans Special emphasis upon development of"high-cube" industrial land uses in and
near the northwestern portion of the City will be important These uses result in lower
generation of traffic than other uses that traditionally locate in industrially zoned property
Given Redlands' proximity to the population center of San Bernardino County, we expect the
model to be sufficiently calibrated for use in this General Plan assessment As such, we expect
the model will only need to be updated in a manner to permit forecasting of future traffic
volumes on General Plan roadways and evaluate changes in these forecasts based upon

assumptions for development and the circulation system through modification of future land
use and transportation network assumptions
Parks and Open Space
The parks and open space analysis will cover three components
• Parks and Recreational Open Space. Using information from City staff as a basis, the
Planning Area's parks and recreational open space will be mapped and quantified,
including planned open space acquisitions Existing park standards will be described, and
the Emerald Necklace concept mapped and opportunities and challenges related to its
completion assessed Using service radii from existing parks, current deficiencies in
recreational open space will also be visually represented, and neighborhoods or other
areas lacking in such facilities will be identified The pace of park development over the
past 15 years will be matched against population growth, and issues related to parkland
deficiency, and acquisition and development will be examined Linkages of the Orange
BIossom Trail to other regional trail systems will be a particular focus
• Non-recreational Open Space. Areas of non-recreational open space will be identified,
and their potential for preservation will be discussed, based on existing plans and land use
regulations Issues related to open space preservation in the Southeast Area—such
signature ridgeline preservation, landform and grading, habitat conservation,
infrastructure, and safety---will also be examined
• Citrus Areas Issues related to citrus preservation will be examined This section will
provide the basis for establishing what needs to be preserved, purpose (aesthetic or as a
working enterprise), mechanism for preservation, and long-term viability, corresponding
possibly to factors such as residential densities, association with historical events, long-
term sustainability, and trends in surrounding cities and communities
Biological Resources
The biological resources section will focus on sensitive animal and plant species, and special
habitats The report will identify potential impacts, if any, to sensitive resources and suggest
mitigation measures for those impacts This will encompass
• Literature Search, Recoi ds Check, Review of Existing Reports and Maps Prior to the field
survey, Consultant will review the information from previous studies in the project
vicinity A literature review will be conducted to identify sensitive species known or
reported to occur within the project area The literature review will include the California
Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS)
Electronic Inventory The existing General Plan Maps, aerial photographs, soil maps and
other readily available collateral material will be reviewed
• Survey/General Overview A general citywide survey will be conducted by Consultant
biologists familiar with sensitive biological resources of the area The survey will consist
of spot checking areas of special interest due to high resource values, high level of
potential land use conflict or discrepancies in the collateral inforination The survey will
identify
— Habitat types,

— Potential locations of sensitive plant species within the City (this may be dependent
upon seasonal bloom penods),
— A general plant and wildlife description,
— Identification of habitat for sensitive species identified during the literature search
(i e, Santa Ana River woolly-star, slender-horned spine flower, burrowing owl, Cali-
fornia gnatcatcher, San Bernardino kangaroo rat), and
— A preliminary identification of areas that may be considered wetlands, waters of the
U S , as defined by the U S Army Corps of Engineers, or streambeds as defined by
the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG)
The survey methodology and results will be summarized Focused surveys are not
expected to be conducted
The Biological Resources section will include findings regarding sensitive species, and
evaluation of potential sensitive habitat, plant and aminal species observed to be present, and a
general habitat description Graphics will be included in the reports, showing the site location,
sensitive species sightings, and sensitive habitat locations, as needed
The section will analyze potential impacts of the development on the biological resources and
all identified sensitive species, if any The analysis will include a discussion of the types and
amount of habitats present on-site and the importance of these habitats in a regional context
The report will also assess cumulative impacts to these resources based on development in
surrounding areas
The assessment will address any areas that may qualify as Jurisdictional wetlands or
streambeds An overview of these issues will be included in the report, however, a formal
Jurisdictional delineation, or processing of related permits is riot expected as part of the report
Histar ical and Archaeological Resources
The consultant team will meet with representatives from the City's Historic and Scenic
Preservation Commission and review existing documentation pertaining to City historic
resources, and will perform an analysis of the National Register of Historic Places and other
appropriate databases to determine what historic or cultural resources exist within the City A
workshop with the City's Historic Preservation Commission will be conducted in order to
discuss Preservation Options and Incentives, Designation Catena and Process, as well as
Certified Local Government(CLG) opportunity
For archaeological resources, the San Bernardino Archaeological Information Center and
other information sources will be consulted on presence of resources, which are known to
exist in several parts of the City, including Santa Ana River Wash, San Timoteo and Live Oak
canyons, and Crafton Hills
Geologic/Seismic Hazards
Consultant will review background information, including available geotechmcal reports,
geologic and geologic hazard maps, and stereoscopic aerial photographs Major sources of
information will include the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG), United
States Geologic Survey (USGS), Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC), published
technical Journals, Internet resources, in-house information, and information that can be

obtained from the City of Redlands, including geotechnical reports that are on-file The area
geology will be mapped at a reconnaissance level
Flood Hazards
A review will be made of local studies as well as the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) maps in order to delineate areas of flooding
hazard
Fare Hazards
Data regarding fire hazards in the City will be reviewed and updated Potential fire risks will
be described including those in and downwind of the brush-covered foothills and in built
urban areas Maps of hazardous areas will be updated Existing fire service facilities will be
described including their location, number of personnel, and equipment Standards for service
response will be compared with actual experience during the past five years, based on Fire
Department input
Noise
Consultant will review applicable State and City noise and land use compatibility criteria
Noise standards recommended by the State and identified in the City's current Noise Element
and Municipal Code noise ordinance will be reviewed The areas with potential future noise
impacts will be identified using land use information included in the General Plan Update,
aerial photographs, and field reconnaissance Existing roadway traffic noise along major
roadway segments within the City will be calculated, using traffic data included in the traffic
study for the General Plan Update project
Long-term ambient noise measurements will be conducted at up to foui representative
locations for a 24-hour period Short-term ambient noise measurements will be conducted at
up to 10 representative locations for a 20-minute period These monitoring locations will be
determined with the City's input to represent areas adjacent to freeways or railroad tracks, or
any other areas with noise concern Ambient noise measurement results will be presented in a
table format to document the existing noise environment within the City
Noise contours along major roadways will be provided in tables and on maps based on the
calculated traffic noise levels Noise contours along railroad tracks within the City will be
provided based on existing railroad noise contours or available railroad operational
information Existing airport noise contours for San Bernardino International Airport and
Redlands Municipal Airport will be obtained and included in the noise contour maps

TASK 3 PLAN FRAMEWORK/STRATEGIES
In this task, the framework of an updated General Plan Will be formed in collaboration with
community members and decision-makers The Plan framework will include a preferred land use
plan, transportation concepts, urban design ideas as well as policy language addressing major
issues such as economic sustainability, open space preservation, and achieving a self-sustaanang
mix of land uses Framework concepts or key goals for the individual elements will provide a
bridge to detailed policy-making While there will not be wholesale land use alternatives given the
degree of existing development, land use strategies will be developed for specific areas within the
city
A Present Opportunities and Challenges Assessment to GPSC/Bramstorm Land
Use/Transportation Ideas (GPSC Meeting #3) This is expected to be a three to four hour
workshop, where results of the assessment and key emerging issues will be presented The
bulk of the time will be reserved for hands-on brainstorming for Iand use/transportation ideas
that encapsulate the community's long-range vision The discussion will also be used to start
fleshing out concepts and policies for key topics, as well as incorporation in General Plan
policy
B Focus Area Strategies. Much of the Redlands Planning Area is developed and stable, and is
not expected to be the subject of changed land use or transportation policy under the updated
General Plan However, certain areas of the city will require thoughtful consideration of how
different patterns could work at the local and district scale, and how they would interact at the
citywide scale Possible land use/transportation strategies may be developed at a"sketch plan"
level for some or all of the following subareas
I Downtown
2 Transit Villages
3 North of ESRI Campus (transitioning area)
4 Redlands Boulevard (transitioning area)
5 Citrus Valley High School Area(character change)
6 Canyonlands
C Preliminary Land Use/Transportation Plan. A preliminary land use/transportation plan will
be defined responding to the issues, opportunities, and constraints identified in the
Opportunities and Challenges task and GPSC brainstorm Existing community, specific, and
other planning efforts will be integrated into the preliminary land use/transportation plan
The preliminary land use/transportation plan will be sufficiently developed to give the
community and decision-makers a clear picture of a viable future urban pattern It will
incorporate urban design concepts that integrate land use and street patterns in a way that will
reduce traffic impacts and promote quality of life Key land use and transportation planning
issues may include
— Urban design and Iivability concepts in the Redlands context
— Issues of amenities and walkability in Northside
— Opportunities for development in Central Redlands and Transit Oriented Development
around passenger rail stations

D Key Policy Ideas Policy ideas for key plan themes—such as sustainability, active living, and
economic vitality—will be developed, based on the Vision Guiding Principles, for community
discussion
E Analysis of Growth Control Measure Analysis of growth and transportation constraints
associated with the City's Growth Control Measure will be conducted The preliminary plan
will be calibrated so that it does not conflict with growth control mandates
F. GPSC Meeting #4 At this meeting the Preliminary Land Use/Transportation Plan will be
reviewed with GPSC, and their feedback used to make changes
G Evaluate Preliminary Plan. Impacts of the preliminary plan will be quantified Topics for
evaluation will include
Land Use, Population, and Employment Implications in terms of population,
jobs/housing balance, and other factors of concern will be prepared for presentation in
narrative and tabular form These will be compared to growth allowed under the City's
Growth Control Measure
– Transportation.Traffic forecasts will be developed for the preliminary plan(either at this
stage or following the commuruty input in sub-tasks E and F below) Citywide
transportation measures such as vehicle miles of travel, hours of delay, and numbers of
trips generated will be calculated and used to assist in comparing and contrasting the
effects of the alternatives Traffic volumes and operations at key locations will be
documented and analyzed, and Consultant will identify the transportation infrastructure
necessary to address the deficiencies identified through modeling The results will be used
to determine the effectiveness of potential circulation improvements
H Community Survey A second web-based community survey will be conducted to gauge
community response to specific land use and transportation choices, and key policy
considerations The survey results will be tabulated and presented in a concise report The
City will be responsible for software/vendor cost
I Citywide Workshops on Framework/Strategies (Z). D&B will lead two citywide community
workshops to explain and discuss the Plan Framework/Strategies These workshops may focus
on different thematic strands of the Plan (for example, one workshop could focus on commuzuty
character, one on active living) Alternatively, the workshops could be designed to reach differ-
ent segments of the community A summary memo featuring comments from the workshops
will be produced
J. Refined Framework/Strategies (Preferred Plan) Following the community survey and the
workshops, the framework/strategies will be refined for presentation to decision-makers The
refined framework/strategies will form the Preferred Plan that will provide the basis for
development of detailed plan policies
K GPSC Meeting #5 The Draft Preferred Plan and key strategies will be reviewed with the
GPCS prior to presentation to decision-makers
L Present Preferred Plan to Joint Planning Commission/City Council Meeting The
Preferred Plan—consisting of key land use and transportation maps, and goals and proposals
for key topics—will be presented to decision-makers at one meeting foi preliminary approval
This decision-maker approved Preferred Plan will provide the basis for development of
detailed General Plan policies

TASK 4 DRAFT GENERAL PLAN
Decision-maker approval of a Preferred Plan and key goals will establish a strong foundation to
build detailed General Plan policies Balancing attention between text policies, the land use plan,
and the land use classifications is critical to a successful General Plan The Consultant will strive
for brevity and clarity that enables all interested persons to easily tell what commitments the City
is making, what it hopes to accomplish, and whether a proposed project is consistent with the
General Plan The General Plan will include both guiding policies" (or goals) and
"implementing policies", the latter forming the basis for implementing ordinances or amendments
to existing ordinances This task will be conducted in parallel with the Draft EIR exercise, so that
any necessary mitigation can be folded into Plan policies to ensure that the Plan is "sed
mitigating"
The General Plan structure may follow the current one of elements, or alternatively, the General
Plan/elements may be orzanized around "themes" such as active living community character
and design etc Regardless, the General Plan will meet State-mandated requirements for all
elements (with the exception of Housing, which was updated in 2013), arranged in discussion with
staff The General Plan will incorporate the Downtown Specific Plan and Transit Village Plans It
will be a graphics-rich presentation with narrative that includes charts, maps illustrations, and
3-D renderings in addition to policies No further changes to the Housing Element (adopted as
part of Task 2) will be made
A Prepare Outline Consultant will prepare an outline and format for the General Plan and
review it with City staff Topics that will be covered in each section will be identified, and a
"mock-up" section will be prepared for staff approval
B Establish Plan Forecasts Forecasts of land use, population, employment changes that will
occur at General Plan buildout will be prepared
C. Conduct Traffic Assessment of Preferred Plan The transportation network identified to
support the Preferred Plan will be represented in the Circulation Diagram in the General Plan
GIS mapping will be used for final presentation of traffic conditions Mapping will include
daily and peak hour traffic volumes on roadways and Level of Service forecasts for important
intersections
D GPSC Meeting on Key Policy Issues {GPSC Meetings l#6} The GPSC will serve as a
sounding board for any vexing or key policy proposals It is anticipated that these will be
reviewed with GPSC at one meeting
E Prepare General Plan The General Plan will be organized around "themes", based on the
Emerging Themes developed as part of the Community Vision, and additional ideas that

emerge through this process The General Plan Introduction chapter will make evident the
relationship between State law requirements and the General Plan elements Each element of
the General Plan will include background information, goals and implementing policies, and
monitoring and evaluation requirements The implementing policies can be consolidated into
a separate stand-alone document to enable the City to more conveniently track implementation
and prepare the State-mandated annual General Plan Implementation report For each element,
meetings with key figures from each department will be arranged as needed
A list of topics for the General Plan follows, as previously stated, these topics (which capture
State law requirements for General Plans, as well as additional topics) will be reorganized
around"themes"
Land Use
This element will identify the location and intensity of uses, and provide policies that would
result in developments that are appropriate to the character and setting of Redlands Topics in
the element would include
– Land use classifications, density/intensity standards

– Detailed policies for key areas/corridors, including
■ Downtown
■ Transit Villages
• North of ESRI Campus (transitioning area)
■ Redlands Boulevard(transitioning area)
■ Citrus Valley High School Area(character change)
• Canyonlands
– Policies for coordination with adjacent communities, and unincorporated areas
– Land use incentives
Growth Management
The Growth Management Element will incorporate policies relating to "principles of managed
development", amount and rate of growth—including policies stemming from Citizen-passed
initiatives—and the timing of public improvements It will address issues related to Sphere of
Influence, annexation, development in the "donut hole", and the City's relationship with the
unincorporated communities in its Planning Area
City Design (or Urban Design) and Preservation
Utilizing the research and planning implications drawn from the community design and Iand
use analyses in the Opportunities and Challenges Report, an urban design strategy will be
drafted for the preferred land use plan The strategy will be premised on a "livable
communities" goal of integration of land use, transportation, and public amenities, which has
been refined in concert with the public This will take into consideration
– Overall city image and identity

also be mapped
Standards for noise exposure for the different land uses will be included Feasible noise
mitigation measures designed to reduce short- and long-term impacts to acceptable noise
levels will be identified where applicable, and incorporated as policy Potential noise impacts
from stationary noise sources associated with commerczal/industnal uses, including
loading/unloading activities or air-conditioning/generator units, to noise-sensitive uses
adjacent to such noise-generating land uses will be analyzed
Human Services
Policies in the current Human Services EIement—encompassing human services coordination,
family needs, day care, and community health and education—will be reviewed and updated
for consistency with other elements and for compliance with current State law (such for day
care)
Economic Development
Land use policies will encompass economic criteria Economic Development policies will
build off on the existing Economic Development Element, and outline key strategies for
promoting economic growth, and attracting and retaining desirable uses
F Implementation and Monitoring The General Plan implementing policies will constitute
the Implementation Program for the General Plan, if so desired, these can be assembled into
an independent document/matrix, so implementation can be tracked or included programs
easily prioritized In addition, statutory requirements for annual General Plan reports will be
included Major capital improvements resulting from the General Plan—parks, streets,
water/wastewater system improvements—can also be compiled into list, so that the City can
prioritize timing and improvements

The objective of this task will be to prepare a Program Environmental Impact Report of the
General Plan, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) This task will be
conducted in parallel with the Draft General Plan Consultant will identify which Plan policies
serve as mitigation, to avoid the need for added-on mitigation Also, consultant will identify
potentially significant impact issues early in the process so that appropriate mitigation policies
can be developed and incorporated into the General Plan, resulting in a self-mitigating"

A Prepare Notice of Preparation The Notice of Preparation (NOP) will indicate what subjects
will be investigated in the General Plan EIR Because the City has already determined an EIR
will be prepared, there is no need to conduct an Initial Study
B Conduct a Scoping Meeting Since an update of any portion of a General Plan is considered
to be a project of statewide, regional, or local significance, a scoping meeting is required In
the scoping meeting, the Lead Agency meets with members of the public and/or agency
representatives after a NOP has been distributed in order to learn about potential concerns,
further define key environmental issues, identify feasible project alternatives, and discuss
potential mitigation measures that may warrant analysis in the environmental document
Consultant will conduct one scoping meeting and prepare handouts that describe the general
environmental process The focus of the scoping meeting will be to solicit the involvement of
responsible agencies, the community at-large, and local business organizations It is assumed
that the scoping meeting will be conducted during the middle of the review period of the
NOP This Scoping Meeting will be held immediately preceding or following another meeting
to save travel time, in our experience, while this meeting is State-mandated, scoping meetings
on General Plan EIRs typically draw a thin audience
C Develop Thresholds/Significance Criteria Development of criteria against which impacts
will be evaluated (and ultimately designed) lies as the crux of a citywide Program EIR such as
this These thresholds will be developed and refined using those previously used in previous
General Plan Master Environmental Assessment (MEA), those that have been adopted by the
City, and applicable federal, State, and local standards In some instances, new (compared to
the last MEA) thresholds will be included—for example, the transportation thresholds may be
more multimodal in nature, reflecting the community's interest in bicycling and other
alternative modes
Consultant will work closely with City staff to develop the thresholds for evaluation of
environmental impacts The City's involvement in the determination and approval of
thresholds is important when considering the level of significance for impacts associated with
the proposed General Plan The Program EIR will utilize the approved thresholds of
significance to identify both the direct and indirect impacts of the proposed updated General
Plan It is intended that these thresholds of significance will be used to ensure that all future
development projects do not generate adverse environmental impacts as defined by CEQA or
the City of Redlands The standardized levels of significance will also be included as a portion
of the ETR
D Screencheck Draft EIR Existing conditions information compiled for the Opportunities and
Challenges Assessment will serve as the setting for several EIR topics Additional information
will be compiled by contacting public service providers such as utility companies, school
districts, emergency service providers, etc The Program EIR will be prepared using the
evaluation of existing conditions, the environmental setting of the City, and existing
conditions for each environmental issue to be discussed
To reduce or eliminate any significant adverse impacts identified during the analysis, the
Program EIR would recommend appropriate mitigation measures It is our intention to
specify mitigation measures early in the planning process as alternatives are identified and
evaluated, and as policies are formulated in response to key issues that have been identified

Urban and Regional Planners
21
In this manner, the updated General Plan EIements can function as "self-mitigating"
documents However, we recognize that residual impacts may remain for which further
mitigation and/or overriding considerations must be established
The Draft EIR will include the following sections
— Table of contents
— Summary of impacts and mitigation measures
— Project description (project objectives, project location, project characteristics, scope
of project, and discretionary approvals)
-- Effects found not to be significant
— Environmental setting, thresholds of significance, regulatory framework,
environmental impacts (short-term, long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative), and
mitigation measures for the following issue areas
o Land Use
o Visual Quality
o Traffic and Circulation
o Geology, Soils, and Seismic
o Biological Resources
o Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
o Noise
o Cultural (Historical,Archaeological, and Paleontologic) Resources

Technical appendices
The main purpose of the Screencheck Draft Program EIR will be to thoroughly and accurately
analyze the environmental impacts of the proposed updated General Plan for the City of
Redlands The document will be free ofj argon so that the information it contains is accessible
to decision-makers and the public The methodology and criteria used for determining the
impacts of the project will be clearly and explicitly described in each section of the Program
EIR, including any assumptions, models, or modeling techniques used in the analysis The
Summary section of the Program EIR will be in table format, and will briefly describe the
impacts, level of significance of impacts, recommended mitigation measures, and Ievel of
significance after the recommended mitigation measures are incorporated
Specific topic areas/sections to be addressed/included in the EIR will include
Project Description/Population,Housing, and Employment
Population and housing changes are the direct or indirect basis for many of the physical
environmental impacts analyzed in an EIR This section will provide a description of themes
of the General Plan, key initiatives, areas expected to undergo land use change, and
population and employment buildout, and housing units and commercial space anticipated to
be added This will establish the scope of geographic impact for both direct and indirect
impacts
Land Use
The intent of the land use analysis will not be to duplicate or describe the extensive land use
policy included in the General Plan, but rather present focused analysis on any issues related
to land use compatibility between proposed and existing development, and displacement
Yisual Quality
Any significant changes to the City's visual character resulting from. General Plan policies
will be described Because of the citywide programmatic nature of the General Plan Update,
such impacts are likely to be of minor in nature
Traffic and Circulation
Much of the technical analysis necessary to support the General Plan EIR will be conducted as
part of developing the Circulation Element For purposes of the EIR, Consultant will define
thresholds of significance for transportation impact analysis, define time study area within
which impacts could reasonably be expected, analyze the traffic, transit, and non-motorized
impacts of the No Project and the Preferred Alternative scenarios, and recommend mitigation
measures to address potentially significant impacts of the Plan
This scope assumes that two scenarios will be quantitatively analyzed in the ETR, with a
detailed discussion of impacts and mitigation measures the Future No Project case, and the

final Preferred Alternative for General Plan Buildout Up to three additional General Plan
land use alternatives will be addressed in lesser detail, drawing upon the analysis conducted
previously, a detailed list of impacts and mitigation measures will not be developed for these
alternatives
Seismic and Geologic Hazards
This section will provide a summary of the existing geologic conditions and potential effects
resulting from implementation of the proposed General Plan update, including seismic
(earthquake) and liquefaction issues Factors considered in this analysis will include
expansive/compressible soils, landslides, proximity to active or potentially active faults, and
potential areas prone to excessive erosion conditions
Biological Resources
Assess the potential for impacts to biological resources special status species at General Plan
Buildout Identify alternative or supplementary policy mitigation measures that could
minimize these impacts to sensitive species and habitats
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Air Oualitv
Redlands is part of the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) Air quality in this area is administered
by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) The air quality analysis
will place particular emphasis on delineating the issues specific to the City and SCAQMD an
quality requirements
Baseline meteorological and air quality data developed through the California Air Resources
Board (ARB) and climatological and air quality profile data gathered by the SCAQMD will
be utilized for the description of existing ambient air quality Air quality data from the
Redlands Air Quality Monitoring Station published for the past three years will be included to
help highlight existing air quality in the City Other sources such as regulatory documents,
professional publications, and Consultant experience in the San Bernardino County area will
supplement background information A summary of current air quality management efforts
that may be related to the proposed General Plan Update project will be provided
For impact assessment, short tenn/construction impacts would be distinguished from long-
term ones Construction would occur during implementation of the proposed project,
however, implementation of individual components within the General Plan study area would
occur over various time periods and throughout the city It is not feasible to make accurate
calculation of emissions over the applicable time period of the General Plan An effort would
be made to estimate the congregate emissions from a citywide construction scenario Air
quality impacts from grading and construction sources include the equipment used, length of
time for a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine),
equipment emission factors approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (AP-42
Handbooks), horsepower, Ioad factor, and percentage of time in use Exhaust and dust
emissions from worker commutes and equipment travel will also contribute to the
construction emissions Fugitive dust emissions would result from wind erosion of exposed
soil and soil storage piles, grading operations, and vehicles traveling on paved and unpaved
roads Consultant will calculate the construction emissions commensurate with available
Project-specific information Standard measures for construction activities recommended by

the SCAQMD will be identified and incorporated as part of the project's standard conditions
Construction related Localized Significance impacts will also be discussed based on available
project information
The proposed General Plan Update is expected to result in new velucular traffic trips from
projected future land uses It is anticipated that project-related traffic trips projected in the
traffic study will be used in this air quality analysis It is also expected that there will be
stationary source emissions, such as energy consumption, as a result of the proposed Iand uses
included in the General PIan Update Emissions from long-term mobile and stationary sources
associated with the development scenario included in the General Plan Update will be
calculated with the CalEEMod (2013 2 2) air quality model and the SCAQMD CEQA Air
Quality Handbook Operational LST discussion will be included based on available project
information Potential cumulative air quality impacts associated with the proposed General
Plan Update will be evaluated
Vehicular traffic on major arterials and local streets within the City would be affected by trips
associated with land uses included in the proposed General Plan Update A detailed carbon
monoxide (CO) hot spot analysis will be conducted based on the turn volumes projected at up
to 20 key intersections within the City that would be most affected by the General Plan
Update The CALINE4 and EMFAC2014 models will be used for the CO hot spot analysis
Consultant will work with the City and of necessary, the SCAQMD, to identify feasible
mitigation measures Mitigation measures will be developed as indicated in the impact
analysis
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Consultant will prepare an analysis of potential Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions related
to implementation of the proposed General Plan The Consultant will use the citywide GHG
inventory included in the Redlands Community Sustainability Plan (March 2011) as a starting
point for establishing 1990 levels, and calculate future GHG emissions based on the
anticipated build-out of the General Plan Analysis will be conducted to assess if the General
Plan will result in GHG reductions required by AB 32, which requires GHG emissions to be
reduced to year 1990 state-wide levels by 2020, and Governor's 2005 Executive Order No 5-
3-05 to reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050
Noise
The proposed General Plan Update is anticipated to generate new vehicular traffic trips from
projected future growth Noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U S
Federal Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108, December 1978) to
address potential noise impact concerns of the City Model input data needed include average
daily traffic volumes, day/night percentages of autos and medium and heavy trucks, vehicle
speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway widths The 24-houi weighted Community
Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) along major roadways that would be potentially affected by
the proposed General Plan Update will be tabulated Traffic parameters necessary for the
model input will be obtained from the traffic study prepared for the General Plan Update
Potential noise impacts from the stationary noise sources associated with commercial/
industrial uses, including loading/unloading activities or air-conditioning/generator units, to
noise-sensitive uses adjacent to such noise-generating land uses will be analyzed

Future traffic noise contours along major roadways will be provided in tables and on maps
based on the calculated traffic noise levels Noise contours along railroad tracks within the
City will be provided based on existing railroad noise contours or available future railroad
operational information Projected future airport noise contours for San Bernardino
International Airport and Redlands Municipal Airport will be obtained and included in the
noise contour maps
Feasible noise instigation measures designed to reduce short- and long-term impacts to
acceptable noise levels will be identified where applicable Both an evaluation of the potential
mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided
Agricultural and Soils Resources
Analyze implementation of the General Plan on the viability of continued agricultural
activities within and near the City's Planning Area To address potential erosion impacts to
local soil resources, the impact analysis will include an evaluation of the overall erosion
susceptibility (K-factor) of Planning Area soils and the potential erosion hazard (erodibility)
as related to slope and drainage conditions Discuss generic construction grading and general
best management practices and ongoing planned stormwater pollution prevention planning
Because citrus preservation as a topic is likely to be addressed in the General Plan, describe
General Plan policies that serve as mitigation for any significant loss of agricultural resources
Cultural Resources
Qualitatively describe any proposed changes to the General Plan that would affect or disrupt
the preservation of historic, cultural, and/or archaeological resources This will include
assisting the City with SB 18 consultation by providing draft letters and background
information and attending one meeting if so requested by tribal members
Community Services
The need for any new schools and/or any excess capacity resulting from ageing population
will be analyzed Impacts of the General Plan on city services (water, wastewatei, police, fire,
emergency management)will be analyzed

Hazardous Materials and Toxics
Discuss and evaluate impacts on general public health and safety, potential exposure to
workers and waste disposal handlers Evaluate the potential for new development or
redevelopment to result in areas where there are public safety issues or hazardous materials at
General Plan buildout In the event that the Plan or the regulatory requirements might result in
a potential adverse environmental risk, identify mitigation measures to reduce potential health
and safety impacts to less than significant levels Assess the hazardous materials impacts of
the alternatives, highlighting the differences in impacts between the alternatives and the
Project
Long-Term Implications
Cumulative impacts will be specified in the individual sections of the EIR, and summarized in
the Long-Term Implications section of the document The cumulative analysis will be
qualitative in nature and will be based upon known projects, either approved or proposed
(applications on file), within a geographic area that is appropriate to the issue area being
evaluated The cumulative impact assessment will be based on reasonably anticipated
potential development projects that may, in combination with the development allowed under
the proposed elements, create cumulatively considerable environmental impacts
The EIR will discuss all significant unavoidable adverse impacts (in conformance with the
State CEQA Guidelines) that can only be partially mitigated, but not to a level that is less than
significant The EIR will also discuss any potential growth-inducing and irreversible impacts
of the proposed project Potential sources of growth inducement and their corresponding
impacts, such as removal of obstacles to growth, major new employment generation, or major
economic influences, will be qualitatively analyzed, to the extent that they are applicable
Alternatives
The EIR will include an alternatives section to qualitatively address the environmental
impacts that would result from implementation alternative land use and circulation plan
scenarios Alternatives will include (1) no project alternative (current General Plan), and up
to two additional alternatives The alternatives will be provided in sufficient detail for
comparison with the proposed project Each alternative will be evaluated with respect to key
impact categories
The advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or
recommending the alternative will also be discussed, and the environmentally superior
alternative will be identified During the course of the environmental analysis, minor
variations to the proposed project that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating
environmental concerns may become apparent, these variations will be implemented, where
feasible
E Draft EIR. City staff will provide the Consultant team with one consolidated set of comments
on the Administrative Draft EIR, following which the Draft EIR foi public distribution and
review will be prepared Consultant will also prepare the Notice of Completion It is
anticipated that the City will handle distribution of the document to the appropriate members
of the public and public agencies
F Final EIR This task will result in the preparation of a Final EIR, which will contain a list of
commenters, comment letters, and responses to comments on the Draft EIR Any changes to

TASK 7: CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
The 1611mi rnz describes the scone of n ork for Redlands fir•.st Clinierte 4ctr077 P16171 (CAP) The
CAP will be depzne d to meet the latent State i eaun einents and cuidehnes and closeh
swichronized with General Plait
A Prepare GHG In-*entorv. An updated GHG inventory will be prepared
• Set Obtectives and 9pproach D&B will meet/conduct kickoff phone meetim-, with City
staff to discuss their ideas for the oroiect, and kev issues and opportunities Roles and
responsibilities will be clartf ed and communication protocols will be estabhshed
Ailreement will be pursued on the scope of emissions activities to include in the CAP kev
assumptions to be used in forecasts and tarwets and parties responsible for providing
needed emissions data. -
+ Review and Prepare Updated Corry»tutitty GHG Inventorv. D&B will review the 2008
GHG emissions inventory prepared by the San Bernardino Associated Governments
(SANBAG) for the Regional Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan D&B will develop the
2014 (oi 2015) community inventorv, consistent with the 1CLE1 Local Governments for
Sustainabrhty (ICLEI) U S Communitv Protocol for Accountina and Renortina_ of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2012) A unified set of socioeconomic data (population, iobs
by industry and households by tvve) is required to support inventory de"elopment D&B
will work with the City to make anv needed adiustments to external datasets/infoi-ination
collected for the General Plan prior to bemnninu inventory work
The community inventory will be compiled by emissions sector usinu information from
the Citv and other utility providers South Coast Air Ouahtv Manal4ement District and
other re�uonal agencies and VMT and other transportation data P-enerated from the
General Plan process
B. Confirm GHG Reduction Taruets The consulting team will present GHG emission
reduction tarizets for staff review
• Review GHG Forecasts The D&B team is already scoped to prepare baseline General
Plan GHG forecast foi- the General Plan EIR This forecast will be reviewed and will
provide the basis for anv further reduction strategies.
• Establish Draft Emissions Tareets The Governor s Executive Order S-3-05 coininits
California to reducing its GHG emissions to Year 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80 percent
below 1990 levels by 2050 The Global Warm= Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) codifies
the 2020 taract and tasks the California Air Resources Board (GARB) with develomnc a
plan to achieve this target Most recently Executive Order B-30-15 (Brown 2015)
established a California GHG target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030
The CAP would need to demonstrate compliance with the statewide GHG target foi 2030
as well as foi the General Plan 2035 horizon vear CARE is still in the midst of
develontnR the AB 32 Sconm2 Plan to reflect the 2030 tarvet The mid-terin taruet is
critical to help frame the suite of policv measures regulations planning efforts and
investments in clean technoloates and rnfi•astructure needed to continue dnvinv- down
emissions
D X E T T & B HAT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of Work
Urban and Regional Planners
29
The emission target would also need to consider the recent California Supreme Court
Newhall case In the (,ase - Center foi Biolouical Diversity v California Department of
Fish and Wildlife (Novembei 30 2015, Case No 5217763) - the court stated that use of
the statewide AB 32 reduction coal, without adjustment for a particular project in order to
find the project effects less than significant was simplistic D&B will look at the region-
wide targets and work with City staff to establish if an appropriate target for the 2035
horizon veai, as well as for any interim years, should be different than the State s These
taruets will be compared against a business as usual (BAU) approach as well as those at
the General Plan buildout (without anv additional mitigation measures)
C. Evaluate Candidate Strategies D&B will compile and evaluate candidate GHG mitigation
oro vi-ams -
• Program Mix Options. D&B will work with City staff Eo Loinmle candidate GHG
emission mitigation measures Potential measures will be drawn from existing Crtv
policies recent EIRs and OAPs from other cities and best practices throughout California.
The ranee of vrourains will address
Energy efficiency and conservation
Increased use of alternative energies to transportation and buildings (such as building
insulation and solar energy)
Waste prevention reduction, and diversion
Education and motivation
As feasible land use density and mix and strategies to enhance alternative transportation
(pedestrian, bicycle and transit) would have already been considered/included to the Draft
General Plan these will not be reviewed Howevet to the extent there are any site-level
measures (such as in the transit areas) that can provide effective GHG reduction, these
would be considered
In addition to programs that may result in GHG reduction from new development,
strateuies to reduce emissions from extsting development will also be explored esoccially
considenni: that the bulk of land use emissions will come from extstinp- rather than new
development
The list of votential/candidate programs will be submitted to City staff for approval prior
to furthei evaluation
+ Proeram Evaluation Using the screened list of potential programs provided by the Citv
the consulting team will work with City staff to evaluate each program against
— Degree of local jurisdictional control,
— Ease of implementation and enforcement, roughly estimated (low moderate high)
— Private and City cost of implementation roughly estimated (low. moderate high), and
— Co-benefits of the measure such as cost savings or air Quality benefits
D&B will provide estimates of the GHG reduction Potential of each program generating a
2030 and 2035 reduction estimate as measured in MT CO2e It is assumed that about 15
to 20 measures would be evaluated in detail
DY B T T & B HAT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of Work
Urban and Regional Planners
30
D&B will delivei a summary of their methodoloi?v and a matrix with each potential
Dro2ram and its 2030 and 2035 reduction Dotential D&B will confirm that the sum of
these reductions can reach the tamet selected by the City in Task B If the sum does not
reach the target, then D&B will select additional mitigation measures from the orifainal
program mix or other sources to be evaluated by D&B for GHG reduction potential until
the citvwide tartlet can be met
D&B will provide the City with a document that lists each Dotential Droin-am and provides
a one para—m-aph descnotion of the strateav including any co-benefits This document will
be accompanied with a spreadsheet that lists each orovraim with a column apiece for local
control, case of implementation pnvate or City responsibility, 2030 GHG reduction
impact and 2035 GHG reduction impact
D. Outline Preferred Stratetsv D&B and City staff will work to to,rethei to select a suite of
feasible rnitmation measures and a related implementation Drograin
• Determine Proiaram Mix. To supplement the Task 3B deliverable D&B will prepare a
brief memo recoirunendin2 a set of mitigation measures based on the vrouram evaluations
and final emissions reduction tareet D&B will sua2est whether a policy should be
mandatory of voluntary and will note `vacka�,,es of programs that together form a
comprehensive or ante<.:rated strategv that could provide additional benefits when enacted
together Another approach would be to outline a set of baseline measures that all orolects
must follow along with additional performance based tari;ets with measures fi-om a list of
options that can be selected by orolect proponents to provide i-,reatei nrinlementation
flexibility
City staff will review the evaluations and recommendations and determine which
measures to recommend for adoption The Drom-am mix selected will need to be able to
feasibly achieve the selected target{s} This program mix selection will occur a sinde time
without multiple iterations.
• Set Implementation Stratezv City staff and D&B will woik together to determine an
implementation strateizv foi the City's selected mitwation program mix Factors to
consider will include.
— Reciuired and optional measures_
— Alternative methods of compliance such as accumulation of points "
— City actions vs private actions and
— Measures that may only be triggered by certain conditions {protect size, type, etc )
Selection of the preferred approach will be led by the City with D&B Darticipating in up
to two conference calls
The selected program mix will be combined with the preferred approach into a working
Preferred Strateav document that will evolve into the Draft CAP
E. Prepare Climate Action Plan Based on the draft inventory selected targets and preferred
strategv D&B w ill write the CAP

• Admin Draft Cliniate Action Plan. D&B will prepare an Administratn-e Draft CAP, using
the materials and strategies develoned in tasks A-D Unless determined otherwise in Task
4 the CAP will include
— Purpose and �!oals described in public-fi-iendly terms with an emphasis on articulating
expected community benefits of imolementin2 the CAP
— An overview of global climate chanp-e and greenhouse Gases includmp- state and fed-

TASK 8 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS MODEL
The followine describes the scone of work for an Economic Analvsis Model (EAM) conducted by
Urbana The EAM will be closely svnchronazed with General Plan and CAP
Urban3's analvtic method focuses on the Per Acre metric as a unit of productivity After all cities
and counties are finite areas of land, and how that land is used has a direct effect on municipal
coffers This metric normalizes overall revenues and tax values into a direct comparison utilizing
land consumed as a unit ofproductivity
Propertv taxes erre the backbone of city revenue Efficient property tax production has a direct
impact on the availability of funds to repair roads provide aualaty education, and maintain
adequate public services Identifving development that packs a flnancaal punch is critical to
cultivating community wealth Our work will visually illustrate the most economically potent
areas of vour community
A Develop 3-D model. Urban3 will develop an economic 3D model and drill down to measure
the economic effect of land uses within Redlands
UrbanYs analytic method focuses on normalizing tax values on a per-acre basis Our core
process is broken into phases
• Gather Data. Urban3 will work with Redlands staff to acquire GIS data assessor's
data and any other pertinent data
• Data Processing Once acquired CAMA parcel data with ownership tax values,
exemptions and buildmR information is cataloacd and processed Many times there
are anomalies in Tax Assessor's files that misrepresent acreaec amounts or allocate tax
values across multiole semi-related parcels Our team will dedicate time to correcting
and svnthesizina Redlands' and San Bernardino County's different tax parcel data as
needed
• Data Visualization. After the parcel data is processed and all errors are corrected,
Urban3 will move on to visualizing the information While we use a variety of visual
techniques the pnmary method for displavint? value Der acre and revenue metrics is
with ESRFs AreSeene ArcScene's ability to create three-dimensional representations
of land value tax value and value Dei acre trends in vertical "spikes" displays a huge
amount of information in lust a quick glance Market variability and inequitable tax
valuations and of course value per acre efficiency across Redlands will be easily
displayed in 3D usinp, ArcScene Also tax millaae rates will be applied to parcel data
to show the amount of taxes each development or area actually nays versus its
assessed tax value Additionally we will include an analysis of the sales tax/retail tax
data vroductivity for your community This analysis is contm2ent on data availability
B. General Plan Scenario Proiections.
• Review General Plan Scenarios. Urban3 will review the pian scenarios recommended
by D&B within the General Plan
D Y E T T & B HAT I A Redlands General Plan Update Scope of Work
Urban and Regional Planners
33
• Create Scenario Protections. The Urbana team will extract building "tvnolos;ies" as
referenced by the D&B team as a design template "menu" for the design alternatives
within the General Plan From these tvpologies Urbana will create protections for
varving urban design scenarios and the associated tax revenues based on a 20-vear
redevelopment horizon, as referenced by the General PIan,
C. Final Report
• Draft Report. The Urbana team will create a draft report covering the 3D models and
Scenario Protections This draft document will be provided for review and feedback
by D&B and the Citv
• Final Report Dehvery Once one round of edits has been completed then the report
will be returned in final PDF form with edits complete

single iteration of review of each draft with one consolidated set of comments, subsequent
iterations are considered additional work Correction of Consultant's errors shall not be
considered additional work
• Response to comments on the Draft EIR(Final EIR) that exceeds 244 hours of effort The
actual effort would depend on the number and nature of comments received, while in our
experience this amount should be adequate, in case an unusual number of responses are
received or new investigations are necessary, additional budget may be needed
