Task 3: Prepare Screencheck EIR
Urban Vision and the project team will prepare the Screencheck EIR based upon the ISINOP and
responses received and technical evaluation of the proposed project. The project description used in the
ISMOP will be refined, as necessary, for use in determining impacts in the EIR. The following topics are
expected to addressed in the EIR:
Landfom-dTopography
The project site contains both active and fallow agricultural fields that are relatively flat,with no significant
incised drainages or steep slopes. It is expected that the entire project site will be graded.The EIR will
evaluate the impacts of the grading plan on the existing topography. Mitigations will be proposed to reduce
any significant impacts identified. it is understood that the developer or project evil engineer will provide an
existing base map,topography map and aerial photo.
Geology/Soils
Geobase,Inc.will prepare the geology/soils analysis for the subject EIR. Services will include:research and
evaluation of existing data (e.g., maps, reports, surveys, etc.), consultation with local geotechnical
authorities,the preparation of a preliminary Seismic Hazard Analysis, a groundwater/liquefaction survey,
site reconnaissance,erosion/sedimentation analysis,and the preparation of various sit -specific mitigation
measures. other services include: 1) up to eight hours of Response to Comments on the final EIR,and 2)
Attendance at one city staff meeting and two public hearings.
Hydrology/Water Quality
The project applicard Wit need to demonstrate that downstream drainage systems are adequate to handle
runoff from the site and that post-development site runoff not be increased over existing levels. Urban
Vision will provide this analysis and verify its acceptability to the City Engineer. The results of this analysis
will be incorporated into the EIR. Mitigation measures,including applicable NPIDES and erosion control
measures, will be recommended for potentially significant impacts on downstream drainage system
capaces and quality of receiving waters. This task does not include a study of improvement costs.
Biological Resources species listed
Eon Terra will conduct a biological field survey of the site. At this time,directed surveys for any
as threatened or endangered by state or federal resource agencies are not anticipated due to the level of
disturbance of the site.
BonTerra will map the biological resources present on the 47-acres site that are

this work. The findings of the report will be summarized in the EIR.
Cultural Resources
An archival records search Wit be conducted by BonTerra to initially determine if previous surveys Of the site
or vicinity have recorded the presence of cultural resources. Depending on the outcome of the records
search, a field survey may be needed to determine if the proposed development area contains any

an optional task budget would need to be authorizby the City.
Land Use
The EIR will review the compatibility of the proposed development with the East Valley Corridor Specific
Plan and applicable General Plan policies. The effects of development on any existing map restrictions for
the property will also be determined.Potential impacts of the project site on adjacent land uses and vacant
properties will be reviewed for land use impacts as well as for potential growth-inducing effects. Mitigation
measures will be recommended for identified potential significant impacts.
AestheticsNisual Resources
The project site is visible from both State Highway 30 and Interstate 10 and from adjacent residential and
commercial neighborhoods to the northeast,east,and southeast. Based upon a preliminary review of the
site plan and a site reconnaissance Visit by BonTerra staff,some adjacent areas may be impacted more
than others.
To portray these potential impacts,Urban Vision will photograph the site from four adjacent locatiexhibit ons which
may have Views into the site during construction and after development. A photo location and
photographic exhibit will be prepared to depict these potential impacts. (Additional viewpoints can be
incorporated into the analysis through a budget amendment.) Potential impacts will be described and
mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce or eliminate significant visual impacts. The results of
the photographic perspectives will be prepared in exhibit form for use in the EIR and at public
meetingsthearings.
Traffic and Circulation
O'Rourke Engineering will prepare a traffic impact analysis for submittal to the City of Redlands. Due to the
project size and an expected trip generation of greater than 1,000 trips,A CMP analysis will be required.
The sub-tasks in the analysis are outlined below. The traffic model used will be administered by the City
of San Bernardino(subarea model).
Computer modeling will be used to assess the impacts of the project and estimate the future traffic volumes.
O'Rourke Engineering will work with SANBAG and SCAG to have year 2015 modeling estimates prepared
in the project area. O'Rourke Engineering will prepare trip generation for input by SLAG and preparation
of a select zone run. The select zone run will be used to establish the project study area and the effected
intersections and links.
The study area Wit be defined to identify the area of likely impact from the selectzone run. An estimated
15 to 25 intersections with a two-way impact of.80 or more peak hour trips will need to be analyzed.
Freey rinks 100 or more peak hour trips will
in11 need to be analyzed. The intersections and links that

Existing Condit will be assessed in terms of existing traffic volumes,ADTs and am.and p.m.peak hour
turning movement volumes,lane geometries and traffic control features. O'Rourke Engineering Will conduct
traffic counts for up to 20 periods. In other words,
20 two-hour counts will be made. The remainingCity. ADT counts will also be obtained
intersection counts will be obtained from other studies or from the
from the City. if these counts are not available,new counts will be made at an additional cost of$75.00 per
period.
Project impacts will be developed to assess the project trip generation,distribution and assignment. The
impacts will be determined based on ITE data and supplemented with assumptions provided by the
Applicant and the City on the operations and radius of draw of the project. A select zone analysis will be
used to develop the distribution and assignment.
Future scenarios will be developed for the project opening and year 2015 scenario as directed by the City
of Redlands and SANBAG. Turning movements and 24-hour projections will be developed in the study area
from subarea model administered by the City of San Bernardino. The modeling data will be post-processed
based on the relationship of the baseline data to calibrated volumes. A with-and-without project condition
will be developed for the project opening year and long term scenario.
In addition, the City of Redlands has requested that the SANBAG model be used for this project. The
additional tasks involved are described in the attachment to this proposal.
Analysis and needs will be performed for the existing and future scenarios. Signal warrant analyses,
highway capacity manual intersection analysis,and on-site circulation analysis will be conducted. Transit
and rail services available in the area and future plans will be noted. Mitigation measures will be
recommended based on the results of the analyses and fair share estimates will be prepared for the
developed mitigation measures and confirmed with City staff. Up to two staff meetings,one environmental
review committee meeting and two public hearings will be attended.
Noise
Mr.Rick Colia of Colia Acoustical Consultants will conduct a noise analysis for the proposed Project. Mr.
Colia will determine the project noise expected from onsite measurements of similar projects, including
retail,restaurants,and theaters. Measurements of ambient noise levels,including traffic noise levels,will
be conducted and projected noise levels impacts on nearby adjacent uses will be evaluated. A comparison
of the noise level impact to ambient and to the General Plan Noise Standards will be made. Specific noise
control measures will be developed to meet the noise standards,where necessary. A written report Wit be
prepared describing the findings and recommendations for use in the EIR. Colia Acoustical Consultants
will attend up to two staff meetings,one environmental review committee meeting and two public hearings.
Socioeconomic/Fiscal
The Natelson Company JNC) will identify and quantify projected sales and pro tax revenues property a

generated by, and directly attributable to,the project. Using available data,they will also determine the
public safety and infrastructure costs associated with the project. TNC will attend two staff meetings,two
public hearings and one environmental committee meeting.
TNC vAll quantify and analyze regional market demand/capacity for retail sales and services,assess gross
level impacts(sales volume,employment) on other retail centers,including downtown Redlands.
TNC will identify and assess adverse physical impacts of business closings in downtown Redlands(ie.,
qualitative statement of impact of vacant stores and deterioration and related impacts on fire and police
service associated with maintenance of vacant stores). TNC will suggest mitigation measures to address
physical impacts. TNC will provide relevant economic input to the Alternatives analysis.
Air Quality
Ms.Jo Anne Aplet of JHA Environmental Consultants will evaluate air quality impacts. Air quality impacts
from the proposed project would occur during both construction and operation. Construction-related
pollutants would be primarily the PM1 0 component from dust generated during grading,excavation and
truck loading,and transport of soil offsite and gaseous emission from construction equipment,construction
worker vehicles,and trucks. Operation impacts would result from traffic generated by the new land uses
on site. These operation-related impacts may be both regional and local and may be both direct and
cumulative with other uses in the vicinity.
JHA will analyze these project impacts consistent with procedures and thresholds in the SCAQMD CEQA
handbook. JHA will examine all potential sources of emissions from the project,which appear to have the
potential to result in significant air quality impacts. JHA will briefly summarize results in a format for insertion
in the EIR and present technical findings in a technical appendix to the air quality report.
The California Air Resources Board has recently issued revised emission factors which appear to have the
effect of increasing emissions in the short term over the emission factors contained in the Handbook.
Therefore,the analysis will calculate regional emissions with the revised emission factors. The intersection
with the=atet traffic congestion identified in the traffic report that could thus lead to a carbon monoxide
hotspot and impact sensitive receptors will be modeled using emission factors approved by the California
Air Resources Board for intersection analysis.
JHA Will briefly summarize results in a format for insertion in the EIR and present technical findings in a
technical appendix to the air quality report. Two meetings(or combination of meetings and public hearings)
will be attended.
Potential exposure of sensitive receptors to pollutants resulting from both construction and operation of the
project will be addressed. Measures available to mitigate significant impacts will be recommended.
Alternatives Analysis
Preparation of an alternatives analysis is always an important part of an EIR,and is of particular importance
for this project. Within the City of Redlands and its sphere of influence,there are a total of four proposed
Power Center projects including this one. The Urban Vision/BonTerra project team and all project
subconsultants will provide qualitative\quantitative analysis of 5 alternatives to the proposed project which
could include the following:the No Development alternative,No Project alternative,Design/Use alternative,
Alternative Site(s),Reduced Intensity afternative. The Environmentally Superior Alternative will be identified.
We will work closely with the City to define the descriptions of these alternatives to insure that they
characterize reasonable alternatives to the power center project. Along with the land use and
environmental findings for the proposed project, the alternatives section will assist:the project decision
REDLANDSP001 6 47-ACRE POWER CENTER
makers in considering the impacts of this proposed project, particularly in context with the competing
projects.
Required CEQA Topics
Other topics required to be evaluated by the CEQA Guidelines(such as goE1R togecing impacts,cumulative
ther withsummary of
e
impacts, and significant unavoidable impacts) will be included in t ,
g
impacts and mitigation measures.
Product: Five copies of the Screencheck EIR will be provided to the City for review.
Task 4: Prepare Draft EIR for Public Review
Upon receipt of the City's comments on the screencheck EIR,the project team will make revisions and
prepare the Draft EIR for printing and public distribution. A total

and other local agencies(e.g.,Redlands Unified School District).
Product: 100 copies of the Draft EIR and Notice of Completion;50 copies of the Technical Appendix
to the Draft EIR.
Task 5: Prepare Responses to Comments on Draft EIR/Final EIR
Upon receipt of written comments provided to the City on the Draft EIR from the State Clearinghouse and
other written comments received,the project team will review all comments for conformance to the contract
budget for this task. If it appears that additional fees would beanedceessa necessary

the City Council at the time of the CEQA findings. The MMP will be prepared at the same time as responses
to comments. Urban Vision will coordinate with City staff to refine the format and the content of the MMP.
Product: 5 copies of the Draft MMP
Task 9 Findings and Statement of Overrriding Considerations
Should the EIR identify one or more significant environmental effects resulting from the implementation of
the proposed plan, the public agency must make a written finding accompanied by a brief rationale
supporting each finding. Findings must be supported by substantial evidence in the record making a
thoroughly prepared EIR desirable. Possible findings include: that changes have been required or
incorporated into the project which avoid or reduce the impact: that alterations are the responsibility of
another agency:or that other considerations such as economic or social considerations make infeasible the
mitigation measures or project alternative identified in the EIR. Under this task, Urban Vision will prepare
a draft of the findings and statement of overriding considerations for use by the City. The draft findings and
statement of overriding considerations will follow accepted formats and will be submitted to the City for
administrative and legal review. They will then be edited at the City's direction to reflect the City's position
for its decision.
Preoduct: Findings and Statement of Overrriding Considerations
Task 10: Project Management and Coordination
Urban Vision will manage the EIR preparation effort and coordinate closely with City staff during the course
of the CEQA documentation. Budget and schedule status reports will be provided monthly to the City with
each invoice. The project manager will be available to the City for strategic consultation throughout the
contract period.
