Michael Baker has successfully completed environmental documents in compliance with CEQA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for numerous public agency clients. We have prepared environmental documents for virtually any type of project the City of Camarillo may encounter, from land development entitlement projects to long-range plans and programs to public works and capital improvement projects. Likewise, we have prepared virtually all forms of CEQA documentation, including project- and program-level Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), Initial Studies, Negative/Mitigated Negative Declarations (ND/MNDs), Exemptions, Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessments (SCEAs), and various forms of streamlined CEQA reviews.

Michael Baker staff members have served as environmental coordinators for multiple prominent cities, overseeing those cities’ compliance with all aspects of CEQA, from document preparation and review to citywide CEQA training programs. As a result, Michael Baker’s staff has extensive experience conducting third-party review of CEQA documents, designing and conducting CEQA training programs, and developing standard city environmental templates and guidelines.

We also have the in-house capability to prepare a variety of technical studies to support CEQA/NEPA documents, including air quality analyses, greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments, health risk assessments, historic and cultural resources surveys, noise analyses, transportation analyses, biological resources assessments/natural environment studies, jurisdictional delineations, Phase I

2 Environmental Site Assessments, water supply assessments, hydrology and drainage studies, and visual impact analyses. Michael Baker offers a full range of services related to sustainability, energy efficiency, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Michael Baker can develop programs to reduce and track GHG emissions while planning for adaptation and resiliency to the inevitable effects of climate change.

Additionally, our environmental staff is complemented by in-house community facilitation and engagement specialists, as we recognize that the credibility of the environmental process is critical to the credibility of the reports themselves. Michael Baker has extensive experience working on controversial projects in politically active communities, and our planners are skilled at presenting complex environmental documents to public audiences and decision-making bodies. As such, we are highly adept at responding to comments, both in writing and during public meetings/hearings.

Moreover, when working with such cities and communities, we regularly strategize with our clients on potential issues and develop approaches to minimize risks and potential pitfalls.

Michael Baker also coordinates regularly with various state and federal regulatory agencies, both during the environmental process and in acquiring regulatory permits/approvals for our clients.

the project site to the future Metrolink Vista
Canyon Station to the east and the Vista Canyon
Specific Plan Project to the north while connecting various private amenities throughout the site, including park nodes, open space, a central clubhouse, and a playground. Given the project’s density and proximity to a major transit stop, it is considered a Transit Priority Project per Senate Bill 375 and is eligible for streamlined CEQA analysis pursuant to Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code. The project required a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, adoption of the MetroWalk Specific Plan, Tentative Tract Map 83087, Development Review Permit, and an Architectural Design Review.

infrastructure, community design,
and other policy decisions through
the anticipated plan horizon year of
2040. It serves as the City's "blueprint" for future development, providing the policy guidance for achieving the community's vision, and addresses eight General Plan elements: land use, circulation, housing, noise, safety, conservation, open space, and sustainability.
