EXHIBIT A
Project Understanding
Redlands Sports Park
The City of Redlands is considering the development of a 115-acre site for a multi -purpose outdoor sports
park, on land located immediately north of San Bernardino Avenue, east of Dearborn Street (extended),
west of Wabash Avenue, south of Sessums Drive and the Redlands Municipal Airport ("RMA"). The
subject property was acquired by the City with local Measure "0" funds, earmarked for this purpose.
Potential park facilities could include:
14
Soccer fields, of various sizes
2
Basketball courts
1
Large lawn area, with tot lots and covered picnic areas
1
6,000 seat football/soccer stadium (Lighted)
4
Arena -style soccer areas
8
Softball fields (Lighted)
2
Food service/restrooms/storage buildings to serve softball fields
2
Buildings with concession stands and men's and women's locker rooms
1
Maintenance yard and building
1
Restroom building
6
Paved, lighted parking lots arranged to serve the northwestern, southwestern, central
and southeastern park areas
The above list of park facilities are tentative proposals at this time, and represent the maximum intensity
of park development being considered by the City.
This project would also include construction of Dearborn Street, between Sessums Drive and San
Bernardino Avenue, to full City improvement standards for a Collector street. This would complete the
last segment of this roadway, in accordance with the General Plan Circulation Element. Abutting
portions of San Bernardino Avenue, Wabash Avenue and Sessums Drive would be improved to their
ultimate right-of-way width, in accordance with the City's design standards for each roadway.
Underground utilities would be extended northward from San Bernardino Avenue in conjunction with the
Dearborn Street construction, including water and sewer lines, and possibly electrical and natural gas
lines, if needed. A storm drain was previously constructed by the City along the extended alignment of
Dearborn Street. Water and sewer lines would be upgraded as part of the improvements along the San
Bernardino and Wabash Avenue frontages.
Please note that the sports park project cannot proceed unless the existing helicopter flight patterns at the
Redlands Municipal Airport ("RMA") are moved to and restricted to the north side of the runway.
Amendments to the RMA Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("ALUCP") are also proposed as part of
this project that would shift the helicopter flight patterns to the north side and make corresponding
changes to the compatibility zone designations, density limitations and hazards maps. The proposed
ALUCP amendments are described below.
1
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Amendments
Currently, helicopter flights associated with the RMA are restricted to the south side of the runway, to
avoid conflicts with airplane traffic that is restricted to the north side. The majority of the helicopter
operations are for flight training purposes, conducted typically between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.,
Monday through Friday. Very few flight operations occur at night or on the weekends. The helicopter
flight pattern occurs in the air space above the proposed Redlands Sports Park site; this pattern is reflected
in the current Redlands Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan ("ALUCP"). Because of the
noise and moderate risk involved with the helicopter flights, the ALUCP has designated land south of the
airport, including the proposed sports park site, as Compatibility Zone B2. This designation limits land
use activities to those that do not involve more than 90 people per acre at any time, and explicitly
prohibits children's schools, day care centers and highly noise sensitive uses.
Recently, the Redlands City Council decided to pursue relocation of the existing helipad that would
enable relocation of the helicopter flight training pattern to the north side of the runway. This would
reduce the noise and risk of air hazards on the south side accordingly. The proposed ALUCP
amendments would incorporate the new north side helipad location and associated flight patterns, and
change all affected maps that presently reflect the south side flight pattern of the helicopter training
operations. In addition, the Primary Compatibility Criteria for Compatibility Zones B 1, B2 and C would
be revised to more precisely define the manner in which the maximum number of person per acre is to be
interpreted and calculated. The revised definitions would allow for an increase in the population density
within these compatibility zones.
Surrounding Land Uses and Environmental Setting
The proposed sports park site occupies City -owned land, located totally within the incorporated limits of
the City of Redlands. Wabash Avenue, which forms the eastern border of the site, is also the eastern edge
of the current City limits. The project site lies on relatively flat land that slopes in an east -to -west
direction and is mostly covered by a mature citrus grove that is irrigated and managed for the production
of fruit. The northwestern and southwestern parts of the site are vacant, mostly bare ground, except for
occasional patches of low, ruderal (weedy) vegetation. There is a remnant field of disturbed and
undisturbed native grassland and low shrubby vegetation (buckwheat) bordering the northern side of the
vacant land in the southwestern corner of the site. A San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District
water well (San Bernardino Well No. 1) occupies a small, box -shaped, fenced area along the San
Bernardino Avenue frontage, between Granite Street and Wabash Avenue. A City of Redlands water
well is found within the grove, in the northwestern part of the site, and another City well is found on San
Bernardino Avenue, in the southwestern corner of the site. City -owned water spreading grounds occur in
the northeast portion of the project site.
Surrounding land uses are identified in Table 1 below.

The Redlands Municipal Airport ("RMA") is located on the bluff adjoining the Santa Ana Wash, between
Judson Street and Wabash Avenue, adjacent to Sessums Avenue and Aviation Court. This City -owned
facility is a general aviation airport, with no scheduled or planned passenger service. In 1997, the
Redlands City Council adopted the ALUCP pursuant to the California State Aeronautics Act. The main
purpose of this plan is to define criteria to guide planning decisions regarding future development within
the airport influence area. The criteria are based on considerations of noise impacts, safety concerns,
airspace protection requirements and general annoyance related to aircraft overflights. Various land use
compatibility zones are defined in the plan; each has different land use and population density restrictions,
intended to avoid and minimize exposure of noise sensitive uses and high concentrations of people within
helicopter and other aircraft flight patterns. As noted above, the proposed sports park lies almost entirely
within Compatibility Zone B2, defined in the ALUCP as an area exposed to significant noise and
moderate risk (aircraft are often below 800 feet above ground level). Zone B2 was established solely
because of the helicopter flight route across it, which involves flight training operations for a local
helicopter pilot training business.
The 1993 Airport Master Plan projected daily aircraft operations would increase from approximately 260
in 1995 to approximately 326 in 2005 and 391 in 2015. RMA has one 4,500-foot single runway, paved
with asphalt, and oriented east -to -west. Airside facilities (i.e. directly associated with aircraft operations)
include: taxiways, navigational aids and airport lighting. Landside facilities include terminal buildings,
hangars, aircraft parking aprons, aircraft rescue and fire fighting facilities, security, fuel
storage/dispensing areas and auto parking. A future helipad location on the northeast side of the runway
is identified in the current master plan. Land uses presently surrounding the airport are listed below.

City and Other Public Agency Approvals
The City of Redlands will be the Lead Agency for this project's environmental impact review process,
because several discretionary actions would need to be approved by the Redlands City Council, as
follows.
1. Amendments to the ALUCP helicopter flight patterns, Compatibility Zone designations, Primary
Compatibility Criteria, and Map of Noise Concerns
2. General Plan Amendment, to change the current designation of the westernmost citrus grove area
within the proposed sports park site from "Agriculture -City Grove" to "Parks."
3. Zone Change, to re -zone the entire sports park site as "0" (Open Space).
4. Ordinance Text Amendment, to increase the maximum building height in the Open Space Zone. The
proposed stadium and possibly fencing around the softball fields would exceed the existing 15-feet
height limit.
5. General Plan Amendment, to realign the Dearborn Street extension in accordance with the alignment
shown in the proposed sports park site plan.
6. Conditional Use Permit, to define the development plan and design and operational features that will
govern the implementation of the sports park development program.
7. Award of a contract for construction of the sports park
3
8. Award of (a) contract(s) to construct water facilities to serve the sports park
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may be a Responsible Agency as defined in Section 15381 of
the State CEQA Guidelines, and will be requested to review and comment on the proposed ALUCP
amendments.
At this time, no other public agency approvals have been identified that are required to allow these
projects to proceed.

EXHIBIT B
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) will provide the following service to complete the EIR process.
Task 1: Prepare Revised Initial Study and Notice of Preparation (NOP)
MBA will prepare revisions to the first draft Initial Study to incorporate description and analyses of the
proposed Redlands Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan Amendments ("ALUCPA"). The
Notice of Preparation required under Section 15082 of the State CEQA Guidelines will also be revised to
add this element to the project description.
MBA will produce and submit one reproducible version of the NOP/IS to the City, who will distribute it
via certified mail to responsible and interested and public and quasi -public agencies, local property
owners, and other persons and special interest groups as specified by City staff. City staff (or the
Consulting Project Coordinator) will be responsible for preparation and publication of a newspaper notice
to announce the release of the NOP and the dates of the 30-day comment period.
Optional Task: Public Scoping Meeting
If requested, MBA will assist the City in organizing, announcing and conducting a public meeting to
present the proposed project and to obtain comments concerning the environmental impact issues to be
addressed in the EIR. This optional task is not included in this scope of work or in the accompanying
budget.
Deliverables
• One Notice of Preparation
• Three (3) screencheck draft Revised Initial Studies for City staff review/comment.
• One reproducible version of the City -approved, Revised Initial Study
• One copy of a hazardous materials sites database search report
Task 2: Prepare Screencheck Draft EIR
MBA will prepare an EIR to address the key environmental issues of concern and will include all
elements required by the State CEQA Guidelines, in Article 9, Sections 15120 through 15131.
Information and analyses to be provided in each EIR section are summarized below.
Introduction and Executive Summary
A brief summary of the proposed project characteristics will be presented and the purpose and intent of
this project -level EIR will be explained. A matrix -style summary of the conclusions of the main body of
the EIR will be presented, relative to project and cumulative impacts, recommended mitigation measures
and level of impact significance remaining after incorporation of mitigation measures. Alternatives
considered will be summarized, including identification of the environmentally superior alternative, any
areas of known controversy will be identified and any environmental issues remaining to be resolved will
be listed.
1
Project Description
Information in this section will be derived primarily from the project application plans and materials
provided by the City staff. This section will include:
• Name, address and phone number of project applicant
• Name, address and phone number of Lead Agency (City) representative
• Project Location — regional location, site location and boundaries (text and maps)
• Statement of Project Objectives -- applicant's development objectives and City planning goals and
policies
• Project Characteristics — text and illustrations describing the sports park land use and design concepts,
development intensity, proposed parking, infrastructure, grading and excavation requirements,
anticipated phasing, public/private partnerships, environmental mitigation strategies, etc. Text and
illustrations will also be provided to describe the proposed ALUCPA.
• Intended Uses of the EIR — identification of Lead and Responsible Agencies and the approvals for
which this EIR is expected to be reviewed by those agencies.
A draft project description will be submitted to City staff for review and approval to ensure that the
environmental impact analyses accurately and fully address the complete scope of the project, at the
appropriate level of detail.
Deliverables
• Three copies of a draft Project Description, including illustrations
Environmental Setting
This section of the EIR will generally describe the baseline physical conditions and relevant regional and
local plans and programs that are pertinent to this project's environmental impact analysis. A brief
history of land uses conducted at the project site will be presented. The physical environment that exists
on and surrounding the project site will be textually described and illustrated. Environmental sensitivities
identified during preparation of the Initial Study and public scoping process will be noted, e.g., any local
utilities that are known to be damaged or over -capacity, local streets that are frequently congested beyond
the City's level of service standards, sensitive nearby land uses, seismic or flood hazards, etc.
Project (in)consistency with applicable local and regional plans will be briefly discussed. The reader will
be referred to the relevant EIR section, where appropriate, for a more detailed analysis of project/plan
consistency. It is anticipated that plans to be discussed will include the Redlands General Plan, Redlands
Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, regional air quality attainment plan, and the San
Bernardino County Congestion Management Plan.
Environmental Impact Analysis and Recommended Mitigation Measures
This section of the EIR will present findings and recommendations regarding project -level and
cumulative environmental impacts. The emphasis will be on the identification of significant impacts that
would result from project implementation. Impact significance will be determined by defining the
changes to the existing environment that would result from project implementation and comparing that
changed environmental condition to a standard or threshold of significance. Impacts will be evaluated in
proportion to their severity and probability of occurrence. Thresholds of significance will be based on
any such standards that have been officially adopted by the City or other public agencies with primary
2
authority relative to the impact in question. Thresholds may also include standards that are regularly
applied in the review of major development projects by the City, standards developed by the City and
MBA specifically for this project, and/or those thresholds set forth in the Initial Study Checklist contained
in the current State CEQA Guidelines.
If the proposed project incorporates specific design or implementation measures intended to mitigate
potentially significant environmental effects, such measures will be noted and an assessment of the
project's "net impact significance" following implementation of the applicant's proposed mitigation
measures will be made. Where impacts are found to be significant, MBA will develop measures to
mitigate such effects to below a level of significance, if feasible. All recommended mitigation measures
will be defined to represent a close nexus between the measure and a legitimate governmental interest,
and will be directly proportional to the level of impact resulting from the project.
Our approach to the analysis of each of the primary environmental impact topics currently anticipated for
this project is presented in the following pages. Please note that this preliminary range of topics may
need to be altered as a result of the EIR scoping process.
Aesthetics (Light and Glare)
Since the proposed project includes a variety of play fields that will be active and lighted, an assessment
of potential adverse impacts due to night lighting is warranted. Light spillage that extends beyond the
park boundaries could interfere with motorists' visibility along adjoining streets, could negatively impact
nearby residential uses, and may also adversely affect navigational aids at the nearby Redlands Municipal
Airport. MBA will consult with City staff and the private development entity to develop a conceptual
description of the outdoor lighting system(s) to be utilized on site, and to identify the illumination criteria
to be satisfied by the lighting plan. It is assumed that the City will provide sufficient information
concerning the lighting system requirements and estimated illumination levels at the site boundaries, for
the purpose of this EIR. Performance standards to prevent significant light and glare impacts will be
defined that can be incorporated into the precise lighting plans and evaluated by City staff at the plan
check stage.
Agricultural Resources
Conversion of the western -most grove area to sports park uses, as proposed, would conflict with the
Redlands General Plan and would result in a loss of Unique Farmland, as mapped by the California
Department of Conservation. These are considered potentially significant impacts with respect to loss of
farmland. The remaining grove area is irrigated and is managed for the commercial production of
oranges. Although this area is zoned for Agricultural uses, the Redlands General Plan designates this land
for Parks/Golf Courses. Development of sports park uses on that land, therefore, would be consistent
with the General Plan, but would result in a loss of irrigated cropland that is classified as Unique
Farmland by the California Department of Conservation.
The EIR will assess the impact of the loss of the existing citrus groves with respect to Redlands General
Plan policies, and with respect to the conversion of Unique Farmland to an active park use.
Air Quality
Based on technical analyses to be conducted by Giroux & Associates, MBA will prepare an assessment of
short-term, construction impacts and long-term, operational impacts. Construction impacts include
fugitive dust, exhaust emissions from heavy equipment, machinery, trucks and work crew vehicles, and
fumes associated with paving and application of exterior structural coatings (i.e., paints, water proofing
3
agents, asphalt, etc.). According to Mr. Mutter, this project will likely result in an excess of grading
materials that will need to be hauled by truck to a currently unknown location. Emissions from those
truck trips will need to be evaluated as part of the construction impact assessment. Long-term impacts to
be addressed include daily and peak period exhaust emissions generated by vehicles entering and leaving
the site; and indirect emissions at electrical and natural gas generation facilities that would supply these
power sources to the developed project site. Impact significance will be assessed in accordance with
significance thresholds recommended by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, proximity of
sensitive receptors and applicable City General Plan policies. Calculations of construction -related
emissions will be based upon construction program details to be provided by the City and on existing and
projected traffic volume data to be developed by WPA Traffic Engineering. A microscale screening
analysis will be performed to determine whether federal or state one -hour standards for carbon monoxide
pollutant would be exceeded during full capacity events at the football/soccer stadium or other heavy
attendance time periods.
Biological Resources
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's proposed critical habitat area for the federally endangered San
Bernardino kangaroo rat ("SBKR") extends into portions of the Redlands Municipal Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan area, including the northwestern corner of the proposed sports park site. A biological
survey will be conducted to fully inventory the variety of vegetation communities and wildlife habitat that
occur in the project planning area, and to conduct federal protocol surveys in the limited area where
potential habitat for the SBKR may occur (Santa Ana Wash area, north of the airport and open fields
south of the airport). SBKR protocol surveys require eight consecutive nights of trapping. This scope of
work and budget will cover up to 400 traps/night. A stand-alone report will be prepared to describe the
biological resources and any sensitive habitat or species identified during the biological surveys, assess
impacts to the SBKR and other federal or state -listed species or other protected habitat found within
impacted areas, and list measures to avoid or mitigate any potentially significant impacts. A section will
be added to the EIR to summarize the results of the biology report, which will be appended to the EIR.
Mr. Greg Miller, Senior Scientist, will lead the surveys and will be responsible for the final report. Mr.
Miller holds U.S.F.W.S. permit TE834488-2, which allows him to capture and release the SBKR.
Cultural Resources
Based on their recent "overview" level assessment of the Santa Ana River watershed for the San
Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, McKenna et al. Found that there are numerous
archaeological sites in the general area. This proposal, therefore, includes preparation of complete Phase
I Cultural Resources Survey Report by McKenna. Their tasks will include: (1) an archaeological records
check at the San Bernardino County Museum; (2) limited historical research, including City, County and
BLM files; (3) Native American consultation; (4) Field survey; and (5) report preparation. MBA will
summarize the results of that report in this section of the EIR and the complete report will be appended to
the EIR.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The proposed sports park would not be permitted under the existing land use compatibility criteria set
forth in the Redlands Municipal Airport, because it would exceed the population density restrictions
within the area south of the airport runway that is exposed to moderate air traffic hazards associated with
helicopter overflights. The City Council is considering amendments to the existing ALUCP that would
relocate the existing helicopter pad from the south side to the north side of the runway, and to restrict all
helicopter flights to the north side. This would allow for amendments to the compatibility zones and
density restrictions and would allow for development of higher intensity land uses such as the proposed
4
sports park. The City has retained Shutt Moen Associates to evaluate alternative helicopter flight patterns
and corresponding effects on the ALUCP policies and land use standards, and to make recommendations
to prevent significant air traffic hazards and avoid surrounding land use/airport conflicts. MBA will
summarize the results of the Shutt Moen study in this section of the EIR. The complete report will be
appended to the EIR.
It is known that a variety of hazardous chemicals now prohibited or rigorously restricted were routinely
used in earlier periods of the citrus industry. One example is DBCP (dibromochloropropane), a syrupy
toxin, that was routinely added to citrus irrigation water over 30 years ago, for treatment of nematodes, an
elongated, cylindrical worm that is parasitic to citrus tree root systems. Other hazardous materials may
also have been applied or accidentally spilled in the grove area, such as pesticides and possibly other
wastes that were associated with previous land use activities. Additional information concerning the
presence or potential presence of soil contaminants will be compiled as part of the EIR, to determine the
scope and magnitude of contamination that might be present, and to identify the scope of clean-up efforts
that might be required. This information will be helpful in the City's evaluations concerning the design
and development of the sports park.
ALTA ENVIRO-MANAGEMENT (AEM) will conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
to evaluate the sports park property history, in an effort to screen out areas of no concern versus areas
where focused investigations are warranted. AEM will then conduct soil testing, arrange for laboratory
analysis of the samples and prepare a report of findings and recommendations concerning estimated
extent of contamination (if any) and approaches to remediation. Soil samples will be collected with a
hand auger at approximately 60 locations throughout the site, at depths of approximately 6-12 inches. Up
to 30 samples will be tested for organochlorine pesticides, in accordance with EPA method 8081A, up to
30 samples for arsenic, up to 15 samples for CAM 17 metals and up to 15 samples for lead, in accordance
with EPA method 6010B. MBA will hire and coordinate with AEM and will summarize the results of
their investigations and recommendations in the EIR.
Hydrology/Water Quality
The water source to satisfy the estimated two million-gallons/day irrigation demand of the sports park has
not been identified. Use of the City's potable water supply would have a significant impact with respect
to the City's water resource management program. The EIR will, therefore, evaluate alternative sources
of irrigation water supply, determine whether new water storage and/or transmission facilities would be
needed to provide irrigation water, and assess the environmental impacts associated with the supply and
delivery of irrigation water for the sports park. It is assumed that the evaluation of alternative water
sources and transmission facilities needs will be conducted by the City's Municipal Utilities Department
and provided to MBA for incorporation into the EIR.
Land Use
The preliminary site plan for the proposed sports park would result in removal of the remaining part of the
City Grove along the western edge of the site, and would conflict with the existing General Plan land use
designation for that area, which is "Agriculture -City Grove." This project includes an amendment to the
Redlands General Plan to change the land use designation for that area to "Parks." Further assessment of
this proposed general plan amendment will be conducted to determine whether this would result in a
significant conflict with City policies governing citrus grove preservation. In addition, the proposed
alignment of Dearborn Street along the western edge of the sports park is east of the alignment currently
shown in the Redlands General Plan. Further analysis of this general plan amendment will also be
conducted as part of the EIR. Finally, the proposed amendments to the ALUCPA will be examined with
respect to potential conflicts or consistency with the Redlands General Plan.

Noise
Short-term construction related impacts are normally mitigated to a less than significant level through
compliance with local noise control ordinances that restrict the hours and days of operations to the least
intrusive times of the day and week. This proposal assumes that construction noise impacts will be
adequately addressed within the Initial Stud and will not require further analysis in the EIR.
Giroux & Associates will prepare a noise study to determine whether the proposed activities at the park
would generate adverse noise levels at nearby residential or other noise sensitive areas. Noise levels
generated by the types of outdoor athletic facilities included in the proposed project will be estimated on
the basis of noise measurements taken by Giroux at similar facilities over the last few years. The
measured data will be used as the basis for projecting future noise levels at affected noise sensitive areas.
Noise associated with outdoor speakers will be based on project speaker design information. Potential
traffic noise impacts affecting noise sensitive receivers along the roadways that would carry the most
project -related traffic will also be evaluated. Existing and with -project roadway noise will be modeled on
the basis of traffic volumes, posted speeds and vehicle mix data to be provided by the City's traffic
consultant. The increase in noise associated with the additional traffic will be determined and potential
noise impacts identified. The noise will be compared to the City's noise criteria to determine potential
noise impacts. If significant noise impacts are projected, mitigation measures will be identified.
MBA will summarize the results of the Noise Study in this section of the EIR. The complete report will
be appended to the EIR.
Transportation/Traffic
MBA will summarize the results of the traffic, circulation and parking analysis to be prepared by WPA
Traffic Engineering, under separate contract to the City. The complete WPA report will be appended to
features.
Utilities/Service Systems
Based on our preliminary conversation with City engineering staff, it appears that the City's existing
water, sewer and storm drainage systems have adequate capacity to accommodate the increased average
demand that would result from development and operation of the proposed sports park complex. A new
storm drain was recently completed adjacent to the project site that connects to an existing storm drain in
Aviation Way. This new storm drain has been sized sufficiently to handle the additional runoff from the
proposed park site. Additional analysis will be conducted to determine whether existing water and sewer
facilities are adequate to support peak demands that could substantially exceed "average" demands, such
as during a full capacity event in the proposed soccer/football stadium. A conceptual plan for on- and off -
site water, sewer and storm drainage facilities has not been prepared, therefore, further analysis will also
be conducted to determine whether any significant construction impacts could occur in connection with
off -site potable water and sewer facilities that may be required to meet peak sports park demands.
It is assumed that the City's Municipal Utilities and Public Works Departments will assess the need for
any upgrades to existing water or sewer facilities to meet peak sports park demands. The results of this
assessment will be provided to MBA for incorporation into the EIR.
Cumulative Impacts
This section will present a concise discussion of the combined impacts resulting from the implementation
of the proposed project, together with other past, present and reasonably foreseeable future projects
6
causing related impacts. MBA will work with City staff to develop appropriate lists of related projects,
and to obtain copies of planning documents that identify relevant growth projections and contain pertinent
assessments of cumulative impacts to which this project will contribute. The impact analysis will focus
on the project's contribution to any estimated significant cumulative impacts; mitigation measures will
also focus on the project's contribution to overall solutions. This section will also note where the
project's incremental effect would not be cumulatively considerable because of mandatory participation
in a funding or other mitigation program designed to alleviate the cumulative impact. If the project's
contribution to a significant impact is so minor that the environmental conditions would essentially be the
same with or without the project, this will also be noted.
Growth Inducing Impacts
Ways in which the project could induce development of neighboring lands, direct or indirect population
or economic growth or the construction of additional housing will be examined. Factors to be examined
include extension of or major upgrades to necessary utilities and other infrastructure that would also
remove development constraints for nearby properties; establishment of potential precedent setting
governmental actions relative to allowable development intensities; amendments to local regulations that
involve relaxation of certain planning or construction standards; substantial increase in long-term
employment opportunities that could attract new residents as well as new businesses that support or
compliment new businesses developed at the project site.
Effects Not Found to Be Significant
As required under Section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines, this section of the EIR will briefly cite the
reasons that various possible significant effects of the project were determined not to be significant and
not analyzed within the EIR. This section will summarize the findings of the Initial Study and public
scoping process and will refer the reader to the Appendix materials that contain the final Initial Study and
other documentation concerning the scoping process.
Alternatives to the Proposed Project
The purpose of this EIR section is to define and evaluate potential alternative project scenarios that would
avoid or reduce one or more of the significant environmental impacts that would result from the proposed
project. Potential alternative project concepts that could be evaluated include alternative land use mixes
and intensities, modified design concepts and/or a different site. A No -Project Alternative will also be
examined, pursuant to Section 15126.6(e) of the CEQA Guidelines. This will be based on reasonable
assumptions developed in consultation with City staff as to what land use scenarios are likely to occur if
the proposed project is not approved, based on current plans and consistent with available infrastructure
and community services.
MBA will consult with City staff to define an appropriate range of alternatives that would avoid or
mitigate those impacts found to be significant, and particularly to reduce or avoid any significant impacts
that cannot be avoided if the proposed project is approved. A rationale for each alternative will be
presented, including a discussion of the impacts it is intended to reduce or avoid, and an explanation of
how the alternative implements or fails to implement the project objectives. Please note that the budget
for this task assumes analysis of up to three alternatives, in a qualitative and comparative manner.
Following a succinct narrative that compares the environmental impacts of each alternative with those of
the proposed project, the comparisons will be summarized in a matrix format, for the reader's
convenience. The environmentally superior alternative will then be identified. If it is the No -Project
Alternative, an environmentally superior "project" alternative will also be identified.

Report Preparation Resources
This section will consist of three elements, as follows.
Organizations and Persons Contacted
All persons and organizations consulted with or from whom information was obtained during preparation
of this EIR will be identified.
EIR Preparation Staff
The key City staff members responsible for managing the EIR process will be identified, along with the
key members of the Environmental Consultant team and the key consultants for the project applicant,
including a one -sentence summary of their professional experience and their roles in the EIR process.
Bibliography
All documents, maps and other information materials cited as references or otherwise used as an
information source during preparation of the EIR will be listed.
Appendix
The Appendix will include the following:
• NOP and responses to the NOP
• Initial Study
• Biological Resources Report
• Traffic study and air traffic hazards report prepared by the City's other consultants
• Cultural Resources technical report
• Calculations and computer model assumptions utilized in the noise and air quality studies
• Phase I ESA and Findings and Recommendations Based on Soils Tests
The appendix will be bound separately from the Draft EIR, to reduce the bulk of the main document, and
also to facilitate selective distribution of those reports to those who have some statutory authority relative
to the subject matter or to those with a special interest. The appendix will contain the following and
possibly other elements.
Deliverables
• Three (3) copies of a Screencheck Draft EIR
• Three (3) copies of a Screencheck Draft Appendix
Task 3: Respond to City Staff Comments, Prepare Revised Screencheck Draft EIR for Approval
by City's Environmental Review Committee
After receipt of all City staff comments on the screencheck document, MBA will make any necessary
revisions and submit a revised screencheck document for review and approval by the City's
Environmental Review Committee (ERC).
8
Deliverables
• Ten (10) copies of a 2nd Screencheck Draft EIR, with five sets of the appendix
Task 4: Revise per ERC Comments, Produce and Distribute Notice of Completion and Draft EIR
MBA will revise the EIR in accordance with the direction of the City's ERC and will then produce and
submit the required number of copies of the public review Draft EIR and Notice of Completion (NOC)
form to City staff. Based on direction provided in the attachment to the RFP, it is assumed that the City
will be responsible for mailing copies of the Draft EIR to the State Clearinghouse and to other public
agencies, persons and groups included on this project's distribution list. (This task could also be assigned
to the consulting Project Coordinator, at the City's option.) The document will be circulated for a 45-day
review and comment period. Technical appendix will not be distributed with the Draft EIRs, due to the
added bulk and expense and the expectation that very few recipients would need or be interested in that
information. A transmittal will be sent with all Draft EIRs that will indicate how and where copies of
Appendix materials can be purchased, if desired.
Deliverables
• The number of copies of the Draft EIR that will be needed is not known at this time; this proposal
assumes that up to 30 copies of the Draft EIR and the 10 copies of the Appendix will be provided.
MBA will also provide one digital copy of the Draft EIR document and one unbound, reproducible
version for use by City staff, as needed.
Task 5: Prepare Preliminary Responses to Comments (RTC), Screencheck Final EIR (FEIR), and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
Immediately following the end of the 45-day public review period, MBA will prepare written responses to
all comments received concerning the adequacy of the Draft EIR, to be included in a screencheck Final
EIR. The Final EIR will incorporate the Draft EIR by reference and will include an introduction section,
copies of all comments received on the Draft EIR, written responses to those comments, and a section
containing any minor clarifications, corrections or revisions to the Draft EIR that may be determined to be
necessary as a result of one or more comments. Since it is impossible to predict the number and
complexity of comments that will need to be responded to, a budget limit has been established for this
task. If less effort is required, the City will be billed only for the time and expenses actually involved. If
more effort is required, MBA will notify the City and obtain authorization to exceed the budget limit or to
make other provisions to complete this task within this limit.
Pursuant to Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) will be prepared to define the roles, responsibilities, timing and methods of monitoring
and ensuring successful completion of all mitigation measures included in the Final EIR.
Deliverables
• Three (3) copies of a screencheck Final EIR and three copies of a screencheck MMRP.
Task 6: Prepare Final EIR and Final MMRP for Action by Lead Agency
MBA will revise the Final EIR and MMRP in accordance with City staff comments and then produce the
required number of copies of these documents to be distributed to the City's Planning Commission, for
review and recommendation to the City Council. MBA will make revisions to either or both documents,
9
if directed by the Planning Commission, and will provide City staff with the required number of copies
for City Council review and approval. Following the Council's certification of the Final EIR and MMRP,
MBA will make any final revisions, if required by the Council.
Deliverables
• One unbound, reproducible version of the Final EIR and the MMRP, one digital copy of each, and 20
bound copies of the Final EIR and MMRP for Planning Commission review.
• One unbound, reproducible version of the Final EIR and the MMRP, one digital copy of each, and 20
bound copies of the Final EIR and MMRP for City Council review.
• If any final revisions are required by the City Council, MBA will provide one unbound, reproducible
version of the Council -certified Final EIR and the MMRP, and one digital copy of each.
Task 7: Attend Meetings and Public Hearings
The MBA project manager and the Project Coordinator will attend meetings with City staff and will also
attend public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. We will be prepared to present
EIR findings and to answer questions regarding the project and the EIR. This proposal assumes
attendance by the MBA project manager at three meetings with City staff, one meeting with the City's
ERC, two public hearings before the City Planning Commission and one public hearing before the City
Council. Our proposed budget allocates three hours per meeting attended by the EIR project manager. It
is further assumed that the Project Coordinator will be requested to attend five meetings with City staff
and two public hearings. An average of three hours per meeting is included in the proposed budget for
attendance by the Project Coordinator.
Travel and meal expenses associated with attending meetings and hearings will be billed on a time and
expenses basis.
Task 8: Project Management
Throughout the environmental review process, MBA will exercise project management oversight and
facilitate communications between our project team, the City and their consultants to successfully achieve
project objectives for schedule, budget and product quality. This will involve coordination and
supervision of the consultant team, development of and revisions to schedules, agendas, notices, memos,
staff reports and other communications, and formulation of strategies concerning analytical and process
issues, communications protocols, preparing for meetings and hearings and general problem -solving.
Quality assurance and CEQA compliance review are management tasks that are also included in this
scope of services.
Project Coordinator Tasks
As requested in the City's RFP, this scope of services includes various duties to be performed by a Project
Coordinator, as an extension of City staff. MBA will hire Civic Solutions, Inc., a local government
planning services specialist, to fulfill these duties. Tasks are expected to include, but may not be limited
to, the following:
• Prepare, publish and distribute notices, newspaper ads and documents
• Prepare staff reports, resolutions and various forms of written correspondence and oral
communications
• Prepare CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations (if necessary)
10
• Work with City staff and their private partner team on design, financing, and community issues
• Make presentations at public meetings and hearings
• Manage Conditional Use Permit and Airport Land Use Plan Amendment processes
