SCOPE OF WORK
CHANGES TO PROJECT DESCRIPTION WARRANT NEW/ADDITIONAL
TRAFFIC, AIR QUALITY, AND NOISE ANALYSES,
AND
CONSISTENCY CHANGES IN PRELIMINARY DRAFT EIR
On February 28, 2007, RBF Consulting (RBF) attended a meeting at the City with City of
Redland Staff and representatives from Hopkins Real Estate Group, General Growth Properties,
and Village Partners to go over comments on the Administrative Draft EIR, GGP. At that
meeting, the development team presented a new site plan for the project. The revised site plan
has necessitated an update to the EIR project description, a consistency review and update of
the entire EIR, and additional traffic, air quality, and noise analyses.
This task will be added to the following section in the Scope of Work. Part 2,
Environmental Impact Report, Task 2.5C, Traffic and Parking. The scope description
below will be added to the end of Task 2.5C, Traffic and Parking, following the Addition of
Five Study Intersections (Second Amendment).
Revisions to Traffic Analysis
The RBF Team attended a meeting on February 28, 2007 with Hopkins, GGP, and City of
Redlands staff to discuss preliminary results of the traffic and parking analysis for the Redlands
Village Town Center (VTC) Project. Traffic and parking analysis was included in the following
two documents:
• Redlands Village Town Center Project Traffic Impact Analysis (RBF Consulting,
October 31, 2006); and
• Redlands Village Town Center Project Parking Analysis (RBF Consulting,
January 5, 2007).
The preliminary traffic analysis included 17 mitigation measures based on project site plan
information provided by the project applicant consisting of approximately 230 proposed dwelling
units, approximately 220,000 square feet of proposed shopping center land uses, and
approximately 140,000 square feet of displaced shopping center land uses. Results of the
traffic and parking analyses were based on interaction with City Staff including a meeting in
August 2006,
City Staff provided written comments on the traffic and parking analyses in April 2007. Based
on the February meeting and the April written comments, the traffic and parking analyses need
revision to account for the following items:
• Revised project site plan and refined land use totals for proposed and displaced
land uses.
• Add section to identify conditions of approval for approved projects in the
downtown area, and potential consistency with mitigation measures identified for
the Redlands VTC project.
• Add onsite trip capture calculations to account for compatibility and interaction
between land uses proposed as part of the project.
A-1
• Determination and potential inclusion of benefit to traffic signal operation at study
intersections related to signal progression project underway by Albert Grover and
Associates.
• Where applicable at General Plan intersections, add section to identify
improvements in excess of project-required mitigation measures to achieve
acceptable intersection level of service (LOS) operation. Note mitigation
measures required for the proposed project may eliminate a significant traffic
impact, but may not necessarily achieve acceptable operation (LOS C or better).
• Include in traffic analysis planned and funded improvements to study
intersections such as improvements at the 1-10 Eastbound Ramps/Eureka Street
intersection.
• Calculation of fair share percentages for each mitigation measure based on City
provided formula.
• Removal of shared parking evaluation from parking analysis to account for
"secured" or "guaranteed" parking associated with residential component of
proposed project.
• Ensure parking analysis is consistent with recent refinements to the City parking
ordinance allowing for modified parking rates requirements.
Task 1: Revise Traffic Impact Analysis
RBF will revise the traffic impact analysis (TIA) to account for the revised project site plan and
the refined land uses totals for proposed and displaced land uses. Assuming provision of
conditions of approval for other approved projects in the project vicinity, a table will indicate
consistency between project-related traffic mitigation measures and conditions of approval. The
trip generation calculations will be revised to include an onsite trip capture calculation based on
the methodology included in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Handbook (2" Edition), RBF will coordinate with Albert Grover and Associates to determine if
the traffic signal progression project includes an estimated benefit at improved traffic signals for
inclusion in the study. Additionally, the traffic study will include a section identifying the project
proportionate share of each mitigation measure utilizing the City of Redlands formula. The fee
for Task 1 is $17,150.
Task 2: Revise Parking Analysis
RBF will revise the parking analysis to remove the shared parking evaluation and identify the
parking spaces "secured" for residential uses within the proposed project. The study will include
a parking review to identify parking supply required for the proposed project based on City code
and determine if the proposed parking supply is adequate to satisfy applicable City of Redlands
zoning requirements.
Additionally, RBF will interact with City Staff to ensure the parking analysis is consistent with the
recently refined parking ordinance potentially allowing for shared parking or reduced parking
requirements for specific land uses or parking types such as guest parking. The fee for Task 2
is $2,000.
Fee For Additional Work for Task 2.5C: $19,150
A-2
This task will be added to the following section in the Scope of Work: Part 2,
Environmental Impact Report, Task 2.5D, Air Quality. The scope description below will
be added to the end of Task 2.5D, Air Quality, following the subheading Meetings/Public
Hearings.
Revisions to Air Quality Analysis
LSA Associates will update the air quality analysis to correspond to changes made in the Traffic
Impact Analysis. The revisions include updating the local (carbon monoxide) and regional air
quality emission estimates using the revised traffic data; and updating the local significance
threshold (LST) calculations to include fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter.
The fee for this task is $1,500.
This task will be added to the following section in the Scope of Work. Part 2,
Environmental Impact Report, Task 2.5E, Noise. The scope description below will be
added to the end of Task 2.5E, Noise, following the subheading Meetings/Public
Hearings.
Revisions to,Noise Analysis
LSA Associates will update the noise analysis to correspond to changes made in the Traffic
Impact Analysis. The revisions include updating the on-site traffic and stationary noise impacts
based upon the revised site plan; and updating the noise impact analysis using the revised
traffic data. The fee for this task is $1,500.
This task will be added to following section in the Scope of Work: Part 2, Environmental
Impact Report, Task 3.1, Preliminary Draft EIR. The scope description will be added to
the end of Task 3.1, Preliminary Draft EIR.
Revisions to Preliminary Draft EIR/Change in Project Description
Following the February 2007 meeting, RBF has been working with the development team to
refine the project description and develop accurate existing and project buildout numbers.
Several iterations of the project description were developed and reviewed by the development
team and City staff to accurately determine gross and/or net square footages. A final set of
numbers was agreed to by the applicant team and City Staff on June 11, 2007.
The numbers agreed to in June 2007 vary from those used to generate the analysis presented
in the Administrative Draft EIR (December 2006). RBF will need to review each EIR section and
update the project description numbers and corresponding analysis to ensure consistency is
achieved throughout the entire Preliminary Draft EIR. The fee for this task is $8,250.
