Subject: Request for Additional Funds to Update the Draft Administrative Environmental
Impact Report <�
Dear Robert:
On behalf of Michael Brandman Associates, it has been a pleasure to work with the City of Redlands and
the project team on the Environmental Impact Report(EIR)for the Redlands Crossings Project. As a
partner,we have,and continue to be,committed to successfully completing the environmental review
process and providing the necessary technical assistance required to accomplish this objective.
As you know,the applicant has selected a new traffic consultant to prepare a new traffic study that meets
the City's requirements. Since the new study will be incorporated into the Administrative Draft EIR,MBA
will need to update the traffic,air,climate change,and noise studies accordingly. In addition,due to the
date of the existing Urban Decay study, it is recommended that this study be updated as well.That being
said, MBA is requesting a budget augment request,as outlined in the following tasks below:
Task 1: Update Urban Decay Study
Update the inventory of existing retail space in the trade area. The comprehensive inventory in the report
was completed in January 2009. In September 2009,The Natelson Dale Group, Inc.completed a partial
update of the inventory to identify new vacancies(and new tenants in previously vacant space)for
purposes re-calculating the overall vacancy rate. Due to the date of the original comprehensive inventory
report(January 2009), it is recommended to update the entire report to determine changes within the
trade area.
• Update all retail tenants in the inventory.
• Re-evaluate current supermarket sales trends in the trade area based on an updated report from
Trade Dimensions.
Update our retail demand analysis model to reflect the following:
• Recently released demographic forecasts from SCAG;
• The latest taxable sales data available from the State Board of Equalization;
• Other factors(especially income levels and retail spending patterns)that have changed due to the
recession.
• Update the cumulative projects list and related impacts analysis.
• Prepare revised draft of the urban decay study for review by MBA and the applicant team.
It Complete any additional revisions requested by the client based on the above reviews.
