Urban Planning Partners, Inc. ( Urban Planning Partners) is pleased to submit this revised proposal to the City of Emeryville to prepare a Scope of Work for environmental review services. This section describes our understanding of the project, introduces our team, and highlights our key strengths and service areas. Qualifications for Urban Planning Partners are provided in Section 2 and our recommended scope of work, timeline, and estimated fee for preparing the environmental review and associated documents are provided in Sections 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The project site consists of two parcels ( APN 49- 1494- 3- 2 and 49- 1494- 4-8) totaling approximately 3.76 acres and is developed with two buildings used primarily as office and commercial space. The site is bounded by Christie Avenue on the east and Interstate 80 on the west. Denny’s restaurant and 76 Gas Station are located on adjacent parcels south of the property; an office building and parking for the Pacific Park Plaza condominium tower are located on the north. The project would demolish the two existing buildings that includes the one-story, approximately 44,000 square-foot building that was formerly occupied by Allegro Ballroom and other commercial tenants and the 87,410 square-foot office building occupied by Wells Fargo Bank, and construction of three new buildings and a new half- acre park.
The project would construct 94 rental residential units, approximately 430, 000 square feet of Research and Development (R&D) and office space and a parking structure accommodating approximately 566 parking spaces. The project includes four main elements:
Residential Tower: The residential tower would be located atop the parking garage and would thus be 160- feet- tall (with inclusion of garage podium height) and consist of 9 stories. The ground floor would also include a co-working/lounge space, lobby, and leasing office, as well as other amenities including fitness center and multipurpose spaces. The tower would include a total of 94 units with a mix of studio, one- bedroom, two- bedroom, and three- bedroom units across approximately 110, 000 square feet. It’s anticipated that the project would provide a minimum of 17 affordable units.
R&D Office Tower: The research and development/office tower would be 230-feet-tall and consist of 12 stories. The ground floor would include a grand lobby area with high ceilings.
Parking Garage: The parking garage would be 77- feet- tall, consist of 7 levels, and provide parking for 566 automobiles for both the residential and R&D/office buildings. The parking garage also would provide a solar array and 26,000 square feet of common open space.
Open Space: The project includes provision of a half- acre of parking along Christie Avenue, including a small stage area with outdoor seating with a separate lawn area intended for other recreational activities.

PROJECT TEAM SUMMARY
As prime consultant, Urban Planning Partners will manage the contract for the 5801 Christie Avenue Project, be responsible for the accuracy and quality of all technical documentation, and represent the team at all public hearings. We have assembled the following well-qualified team to prepare the environmental document:
Urban Planning Partners, Inc.: prime consultant, project management, project description, planning policy, aesthetics, land use, biological resources, public services, utilities, and alternatives.
Baseline Environmental Consulting: air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and energy, geological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, and noise and vibration.
Fehr & Peers: transportation
Page & Turnbull: cultural resources
Some of our key strengths and approaches to completing such work are described below.
OUR KEY STRENGTHS:
We believe that Urban Planning Partners’ team key strengths, as follows, will lead to cost- efficient, high quality, and legally defensible products:
Complex and Controversial Project Experience. Many of our projects have been politically challenging and have involved divergent viewpoints from community groups and within responsible agencies. With this experience comes the ability to recognize patterns, foresee potentially challenging issues, and advise clients on the best response given the situation. Our team is experienced in working with attorneys on legally contentious projects and has a proven ability to prepare well-balanced and defensible planning and CEQA documents.
Urban Infill Project Experience. The Principals at Urban Planning Partners have a proven track record of preparing legally defensible CEQA documents for complex and controversial urban infill projects ranging from large mixed-used to small residential developments. These projects have involved challenges that are common and relevant to the proposed project, including public DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 1 , 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 3 controversy, historic resources, land use compatibility, planning policy conformance, transportation (all modes), noise, air quality, building height/design, and aesthetic resources.
Lynette Dias, who will be directing the project team, has extensive experience in dealing with each of these challenges. Over the past 15 years, the majority of Lynette’s practice has focused on managing the environmental review process for significant infill projects, including the Uptown Oakland mixed- use development, which encompassed a 10- block area; the MacArthur BART Transit Village; the Berkeley Central Library Renovation; the Harbor Walk; and the First Street development projects, both within a historic district in Benicia; and the Downtown Martinez Specific Plan.
Preparing Defensible EIRs. Urban Planning Partners’ staff has a proven track record of preparing defensible EIRs. We have personally worked on over 250 CEQA documents, many of which have been the subject of significant controversy and threatened litigation. However, in most controversial situations, we have been successful in preparing a document that provides a comprehensive and objective analysis of each area of controversy that allows the debate to focus on the project merits rather than the legal adequacy of the CEQA document or process. Urban Planning Partners is also adept at preparing administrative records for complex project EIRs, similar to the scale of the proposed project, with experience compiling and organizing documents for the Chevron Refinery Modernization Project EIR, BART to Livermore Project EIR, and Eastline at 2100 Telegraph Project EIR.
Managing Technical Subconsultants. As a small firm, Urban Planning Partners is skilled at managing technical subconsultants by providing templates, file sharing platforms, and a style guide ( with globals) to create documents that read as “ one voice.” As a part of our QA/ QC process, we also closely review our subconsultants’ work to ensure accuracy and responsiveness to city comments.
Senior Staff Involvement. Urban Planning Partners is committed to having senior staff closely involved in projects daily. Our work on the 5801 Christie Avenue Project will be managed by Lynette Dias, Principal. We work collaboratively within our team on every project, assigning both junior and senior staff to any given scope of work. This means the project manager Principal or Manager will be involved on a regular basis with weekly check- ins and day- to-day availability to provide guidance and strategy throughout the project as well as quality assurance.
Quality Assurance and Schedules. We strive for products of impeccable professional quality and technical accuracy. No product goes out the door without discussing issues of concern with City staff and internal Principal- level review. We understand realistic timelines for project deliverables, their review, and revision. We diligently manage projects to ensure that schedules are met, even when drafts are sensitive and require extensive internal review. We know CEQA schedule requirements and take care with CEQA documentation. We stress frequent communication and maintaining shared expectations.

An overview of our key services areas is detailed below.
Development Services. Urban Planning Partners provides policy and research assistance to developers, property owners, and interest groups through all stages of the land use approval process. We diligently scope out potential project challenges that we can identify at the onset and quickly respond to challenges that arise throughout the entitlement process. Typical services include mapping out a schedule and strategy for the overall application process, completing application paperwork, coordinating subconsultants, organizing community meetings, and reviewing plans for consistency with local requirements and regulations. We love developing redevelopment/reuse strategies for underutilized properties and buildings.
Community Engagement. We love to, and are successful at, engaging and convening communities with innovative tools and thoughtful/ compassionate strategies. From designing and administering online surveys to hosting large community workshops, we utilize innovative practices and methods to capture an appropriate and representative cross-section of stakeholder input. We communicate with and give voice to the communities we serve and strive to find the right balance between the developer and the community’ s desires, resulting in the approval of projects that achieve our client’ s objectives and have community support from a representative cross-section of the community, including youth.
Policy Planning. Urban Planning Partners has managed policy documents including specific plans, master plans, housing elements, etc. in a variety of settings with differing jurisdictions. Our experience includes several specific plans utilizing design guidelines and development standards components, including the San Jose Design Guidelines, Irvington BART Station Area Plan for the City of Fremont, Truckee Railyard Master Plan, Macarthur BART Station Area Plan, and the Alameda Point Main Street Specific Plan for the City of Alameda.
Environmental Review and Streamlining. We know the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA) like few others. Our environmental review services primarily focus on CEQA (and sometimes the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)) review for infill and transit- related projects, but the depth and breadth of our experience is significant. At the program and the project level, we focus on defining the project in a way that will maximize the level of CEQA review while also allowing flexibility for the plan or project to evolve. We specialize in finding legally defensible and streamlined CEQA approaches based on each project’ s unique characteristic.
Municipal Planning/Contract Planning Experience. We deliver cost-efficient solutions to provide short-term staffing assistance, bring technical expertise to special projects, and manage fluctuating workloads. We act as an extension of staff to move projects forward and relieve the demands placed upon cities with limited resources. We offer services in project management, development application review and administration, policy research and analysis, revision of land use and development regulations, development agreement negotiation, and amendments to policy documents. Our contract planning services include both on- site staffing and remote, project- based assignments.

This section outlines Urban Planning Partners’ recommended approach and scope of work for preparing the CEQA analysis for the 5801 Christie Avenue Project ( project). Urban Planning Partners will lead the environmental review process, including defining the project for purposes of CEQA, conducting the necessary analysis, preparing the appropriate CEQA document and associated notices, and then publishing and distributing. Our experience includes conducting CEQA analysis at both the program and project level for a variety of project types and sizes including general plan updates, rezonings, specific plans, development regulations, industrial reuse projects, downtown mixed-use redevelopment, research and development complexes, residential annexations, coastal mixed-use development, public buildings, and small residential infill projects.
PROJECT APPROACH
Our recommended approach was informed by our review of the available project materials, our knowledge of the planning processes and regulations in the City of Emeryville, and discussions with City staff to assess whether the project would qualify for an exemption or require subsequent environmental review.
The checklist findings will determine if the findings required for one or a combination of the following CEQA exemptions and streamlining provisions are met:
Community Plan Exemption – Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 utilizing the City of Emeryville’s General Plan EIR. In approving a project meeting the requirements of this section, a public agency shall limit its examination of environmental effects to those which the agency determines, in an initial study or other analysis:
Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located, Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent, Are potentially significant impacts and cumulative impact which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action, or Are previously identified significant effects, which as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more sever adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR.
Qualified Infill Exemption – Public Resources Code Section 21094.5 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. 3 (Streamlining for Infill Projects) utilizing the City of Emeryville’ s General Plan EIR. To be eligible for the streamlining procedures, an infill project must:
Be located in an urban area on a site that either has been previously developed or that adjoins existing qualified urban uses on at least seventy-five percent of the site’s perimeter. For the purpose of this subdivision “ adjoin” means the infill project is DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 9 immediately adjacent to qualified urban uses, or is only separated from such uses by an improved public right-of-way;
Satisfy the performance standards provided in Appendix M of the CEQA Guidelines; and
Be consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in either a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy, except:
Only where an infill project is proposed within the boundaries of a metropolitan planning organization for which a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy will be, but is not yet, in effect, a residential infill project must have a density of at least 20 units per acre, and a retail or commercial infill project must have a floor area ratio of at least 0.75.
Where an infill project is proposed outside of the boundaries of a metropolitan planning organization, the infill project must meet the definition of a small walkable community project in subdivision (f)(5), below.
Class 32 Exemption– Public Resources Code Section 21083 and 21084 (In-Fill Development Projects) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15332. Class 32 eligible projects must meet the following conditions:
The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services To demonstrate consistency with the findings of the General Plan EIR, we anticipate that our analysis will rely heavily on implementation measures of existing General Plan policies. For example, completion of a Phase I and/ or Phase II ESA, as well as implementation of associated recommendations, will demonstrate consistency with General Plan policies General Plan policies CSN-P-32, CSN-P-33, CSN-P-34, and CSN-P35, which are identified in the General Plan EIR as reducing impacts related to hazardous materials to a less- than- significant level. If the analysis in the checklist does not support the findings needed for thethese exemptions, than an EIR may be required.
SCOPE OF WORK
The following scope of work includes two sequential phases:
1. Project Initiation and Refinement
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 10 2. Environmental Topic Analysis
3. CEQA Analysis and Document
An ongoing project management and meetings component that will occur throughout the duration of the project is also included. This component includes general project management, staff and project meetings, and preparation of the administrative record.
A summary of our proposed work program is provided in Table 2. All the tasks necessary to complete the CEQA analysis are detailed in the scope of work.
PROJECT INITIATION

TASK 1A. PROJECT INITIATION
The project initiation task for the project will provide an opportunity for the Urban Planning Partners team to collaborate with the City to refine our recommended scope of work and project schedule.
1. Kick- Off Meeting/ Site Visit
Urban Planning Partners will meet with City staff to discuss expectations regarding the tasks to be undertaken as part of the environmental documentation effort. We will prepare and circulate an agenda for this meeting. Topics for discussion at this meeting will include:
Team composition and respective roles of consultants and City staff.
The City’ s desired approach to involving various City departments during preparation of the CEQA analysis and review of the administrative and screencheck drafts (or portions thereof).
When and how frequently we should hold standing meetings.
Current project plans and defining the project for CEQA.
Project schedule.
As one of the initial steps, Urban Planning Partners will undertake a site visit to observe the project site.
Urban Planning Partners staff will identify existing conditions, study area features, and confirm information provided in previous studies. We encourage attendance by City staff and the project applicant at our initial site visit to promote cooperation in discussing observations. This site visit could be combined with the kick-off meeting or held separately.

Existing data and analyses applicable to the project will be collected and evaluated in order to gain an understanding of the available information that will be used as part of the environmental review. Urban Planning Partners will review relevant planning policy and CEQA documentation previously prepared for projects within the area and surrounding neighborhoods. Urban Planning Partners will also contact responsible or potentially affected agencies to identify issues for the proposed project.

A base map of the project site and vicinity will be prepared by Urban Planning Partners using the best available map information from the City. The base map will be used to illustrate street/highway and lot layouts in the project site vicinity, the project site’s relationship to surrounding areas, topography, surrounding land uses, and General Plan and zoning designations. The base map will be available for consultant and staff use during meetings and presentations.
4. Project Description
Urban Planning Partners will prepare a project description based on materials provided by the City and project applicant. The project description will include a discussion of key characteristics of the project site and vicinity, project objectives, details of the project, the approval process, and the anticipated development schedule.
A draft of the project description will be submitted to the project applicant and the City for review and acceptance prior to the Urban Planning Partners team conducting any quantitative impact analyses. Up to two drafts will be prepared in response to comments received.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
As described above Urban Planning Partners’ recommended CEQA approach is to prepare a modified Initial Study checklist to assess whether the project meets the requirement for an exemption pursuant to the CEQA statute and guidelines sections 151332, 15183, and 15183.3.
Each analysis will include ( 1) a summary of the findings from the General Plan EIR, ( 2) updated analysis construction, operation, and cumulative) necessary to determine if the project would result in any significant impacts and whether such impacts are in addition to or substantially greater than the impact findings of the General Plan EIR, (3) a discussion about what mitigation measures, General Plan policies from the General Plan EIR, or other uniformly applied development policies would reduce any potential impacts, and whether any new mitigation measures would be required; and ( 4) a conclusion as to whether the project would substantially increase the severity of significant impacts identified in the General Plan EIR, or would result in new significant impacts.
The analyses and associated discussion needed to respond to the checklist questions and support the conclusions will be incorporated directly into the CEQA document as part of Phase 3. Model runs and other technical data will be provided in an appendix as appropriate.
Urban Planning Partners assisted in preparation of the unreleased 2019 EIR for the previous project proposed at this location by the Onni Group. It is our intention to rely on the setting and impact analyses included in those draft EIR sections to the extent feasible, modifying and updating them, as needed, to be applicable and appropriate for the new project proposal.
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 13 TASK 2A. LAND USE AND PLANNING
Urban Planning Partners will prepare an Initial Study section related land use and planning policy for the proposed project. The current General Plan Land Use Designation and zoning designations for the site is Mixed Use with Residential. Urban Planning Partners will document the land use conditions for the project and analyze the project relative to the General Plan EIR findings. Urban Planning Partners will summarize the existing pattern of land uses in the subject project area and its surroundings.
TASK 2B. AESTHETICS (WIND AND SHADOW)
Under CEQA Guidelines Section 21099( d), “Aesthetic and parking impacts of a residential, mixed- use residential, or employment center project on an infill site located within a transit priority area shall not be considered significant impacts on the environment.” 1 As such, aesthetics impacts as they related to visual quality and character will not be discussed in the CEQA analysis.
1. Wind
Although an aesthetics section is not required per Senate Bill 743, a Wind Impact Study will be performed and the results of these analyses will be included in an aesthetics section.
RWDI will provide a pedestrian wind study to predict wind speeds in pedestrian areas and an assessment of how they impact the comfort of people in outdoor spaces. The risk of hazard winds will also be assessed. The proposed Pedestrian Wind Study involves testing a three- dimensional physical scale model of the development and surroundings in a boundary layer wind tunnel to quantitatively measure the wind conditions for pedestrians at important locations around the site. As required by the City of Emeryville, data describing the speed, direction, and frequency of occurrence of wind gathered at Metropolitan Oakland International Airport for daylight hours between 7am and 6pm from 1984 to 2014 will be used for this study.
A proximity model of the existing buildings and relevant surroundings will be modelled at a scale as selected by the team. The buildings immediately surrounding the study site will be modeled in more detail than buildings beyond this radius. The model will incorporate relevant topographic changes as applicable. Surroundings beyond the limits of the proximity model will be appropriately simulated by spires and roughness blocks situated on the wind tunnel floor upwind of the study model. This will provide an accurate representation of the wind speed and turbulence profiles of wind approaching the study model.
To conduct the tests, a scale model of the proposed development will be constructed to include all surface details measuring greater than 2 ft at full scale. With input from team, wind speed sensors will be placed at various test point locations taking into consideration outdoor pedestrian- use areas around and on the proposed development. These sensors measure the mean and gust wind velocities at a full-scale height of 5 ft above ground. Attention will be paid to wind sensitive areas such as the entranceways and 1 CEQA Guidelines Section 21099( d)(1).
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 14 public seating areas, building corners, and any other pedestrian accessible areas around and on the development.
The use of existing and proposed trees will be discussed with the team prior to commencing the modeling for testing.
The test model together with the proximity model will be tested in our boundary layer wind tunnel where the natural wind speed and turbulence levels will be simulated. During the tests, wind speed data will be collected for 36 equally spaced wind directions.
Three configurations of the study site and surroundings will be tested for our base study:
Existing: the existing surroundings, with any buildings currently on site, without the proposed development.
Existing plus Proposed: the proposed building option, along with existing surrounding structures.
Existing plus Proposed and Cumulative: The proposed building option, along with existing surrounding structures and any know future Cumulative buildings.
The wind tunnel data will be analyzed together with the area’ s long- term meteorological statistics to predict how often selected wind speed ranges will occur at each location. Results will first be reviewed against the City of Oakland’s pedestrian wind comfort and safety criteria (as is standard practice for the City of Emeryville).
In the event that undesirable conditions are found, RWDI will use their experience and judgement to suggest design concepts to minimize uncomfortable winds. If conditions are particularly severe in critical areas, RWDI may recommend additional testing to develop specific solutions. Additional testing in connection with detailed solution development has not been included within the scope of this proposal.
2. Shadow
Urban Planning Partners assumes that the project applicant will prepare a shade and shadow study to the City, which will be used as a basis for analysis in the aesthetics section.
3. Visual Simulations ( Optional Task)
As described above, the project is exempt from aesthetics impacts and visual simulations are not required; however, if it is the City’s desire to include visual simulations, the following optional task would be utilized.
Prevision Design has previously performed visual simulation services for a prior design at this site (in 2019), and it is assumed the same viewpoints and viewpoint photos would be appropriate for reuse for this new analysis. If it is decided that new or additional viewpoints beyond those from the previous 2019 project, Prevision Design will work with Urban Planning Partners and the City to select potentially appropriate viewpoints for visual simulations using web- based Google Earth and/ or ESRI services. These DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 15 will be presented for review and selection of 12 final views prior to conducting site photography. In the event of additional photos being needed, an optional task has been added to the budget.
The City or project applicant will provide PreVision Design with a usable 3D CAD design model, as well as exterior finish information (colors, materials, etc). Additionally, a CAD site survey and/or a site plan with referenced grade elevations shall be provided in order to accurately locate the building. With this information, Prevision Design shall modify and/ or augment the building model as required with the specified colors and materials and place the project model in an accurate site context. If a 3D CAD model of the project is not available or if the available model requires significant adaptation or correction to be suitable for Prevision Design’ s use, an additional modelling fee may apply. PreVision Design shall advise the client if this is the case and provide an estimate of work required on a time and materials basis to generate and/or upgrade the model.
Using the approved viewpoint photo(s), Prevision Design will align the 3D model to match the perspective and scale of each viewpoint photo. Using photoreal rendering techniques, Prevision Design will generate draft photo simulations of the project within the photographic context for review, comment and revision as needed. Upon approval of these draft views, final views will be generated which will include fine tuning, and photoshop work to clean up foreground and background details and add additional site context as necessary.
TASK 2C. AIR QUALITY
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to air quality. Based on the preliminary review of the project, the primary air quality concerns will be related to the net increase in emissions of criteria air pollutants and the exposure of existing nearby receptors (e.g., residences) to toxic air contaminants ( TACs) during project construction and operation. The project would emit diesel particulate matter ( DPM), a type of TAC, from diesel- powered construction equipment and operation of emergency diesel generators during operation. Baseline will provide a qualitative analysis of the project potential impacts and identify implementation measures to comply with the City’s Genal Plan’s policies to reduce air quality impacts to a less- than- significant level.
TASK 2D. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The project site is located in a mostly urban area on an already developed site. For this reason, most impacts related to Biological Resources are expected to be less than significant, which Urban Planning Partners will explain. Using the previous analysis from Huffman-Broadway Group, Inc.’s bird study, Urban Planning Partners will describe the factors contributing to bird collisions and will describe the design features that must be included in a Bird Collision Reduction Plan to mitigate the potential for avian mortality resulting from bird collisions.
TASK 2E. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The 2019 Onni Christie project’s unreleased Cultural Resources EIR section states that the two existing buildings at the site are “not of sufficient age to generally be considered eligible for listing in the DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 16 California Register of Historical Resources.” However, based on preliminary review by Page & Turnbull, both appear to have been built ca. 1970-1971 – and are thus likely over 50 years old. As such, additional scope beyond what was previously prepared is required. Page & Turnbull will complete the following tasks described below.
1. Age Eligibility Determination
Page & Turnbull will conduct preliminary research using records on file at the City of Emeryville, in addition to historic maps and aerial photographs as necessary, to determine the construction date of the subject buildings. Our findings will be communicated to the City of Emeryville and Urban Planning Partners via e-mail or telephone call.
2. Historic Resource Evaluation (Optional)
Assuming that both of the existing buildings at the site are over 45 years of age (built prior to 1977), Page Turnbull will complete historic resource evaluations (HRE) for each parcel, which includes using Department of Parks and Recreation ( DPR) 523A ( Primary Record) and DPR 523B ( Building, Structure, and Object Record) forms. As part of this work, the following tasks will be required:
Reconnaissance Survey: Page & Turnbull will visit the sites to take digital photographs and make field notes. They will need access to all exterior façades of the buildings to document existing conditions and to record features. This survey will not examine the interior of the buildings.
Research: Page & Turnbull will perform archival research, as deemed necessary. Research will primarily focus on the history and construction chronology of the subject properties. Repositories consulted may include the Emeryville Planning Division, Alameda County Assessor-Recorder’s Office, and Emeryville, Oakland, and University of California, Berkeley libraries. Page & Turnbull will also conduct research in online repositories such as digital Sanborn maps, the Online Archive of California, and the Internet Archive.
DPR 523A and 523B Form Production: Once the research is complete, Page & Turnbull will use information collected in research and field survey to analyze the significance of each property.
They will prepare an architectural description and historical background for the existing buildings, evaluation of the buildings’ eligibility for listing in the California Register and, if applicable, list character-defining features. Our reports will include maps, photographs (existing conditions and historic images, if available) and other illustrations, as necessary.
After submitting the Draft DPR 523 Forms, Page & Turnbull will respond to one set of written comments from the City regarding each property. After the receipt of the City’s comments, Page & Turnbull will publish Final DPR 523 Forms for inclusion in CEQA review documentation prepared by the City.
3. Cultural Resources Chapter
Page & Turnbull will prepare a Cultural Resources chapter for the Initial Study checklist for the proposed project. The section will include a brief summary of the findings of the Emeryville General Plan EIR and other relevant City of Emeryville planning documents; a summary of the findings of the historic resource DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 17 evaluations for 5801 and 5851- 5861 Christie Avenue; a summary of previously identified historical and archaeological resources within a one-quarter (0.25)-mile radius of the project site; an assessment of the project’s potential to cause significant impacts to historical resources; and a conclusion summarizing the findings.
Page & Turnbull will not conduct a new Northwest Information Center ( NWIC) records search, Native American Heritage Commission ( NAHC) Sacred Lands File search, or archaeological survey of the project site. Historic context, regulatory information, and archaeological resource identification methods and results will be excerpted or adapted from the Cultural Resources chapter previously prepared in 2019 by UPP for the Omni Christie Mixed- Use Project EIR.
TASK 2F. GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to geology, soils, and paleontological resources. The analysis will include an overview of the environmental setting and regulatory framework. The project site is located in a seismically active region. Although the project site is not mapped within an Alquist- Priolo Fault Zone by the California Geologic Survey, a significant earthquake on one of the regional faults near the project site will likely produce strong ground shaking during the life of the project. The project site would not be subject to landslides or substantial soil erosion because the site and surrounding areas are generally flat. The project site is mapped in a liquefaction hazard area by the California Geologic Survey.
It is assumed that a new geotechnical report ( specific to the new proposed project) will be completed by the applicant and made available to Baseline for review. Based on review of the geotechnical study and other available reports and maps, Baseline will evaluate potential impacts related to geology, soils, and paleontological resources. Implementation measures will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less- than- significant levels.
TASK 2G. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to greenhouse gas GHG) emissions. In accordance with BAAQMD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines, Baseline will analyze the project’s consistency with the BAAQMD’s 2017 Clean Air Plan and the City’s Climate Action Plan. The project design will be compared to the BAAQMD’ s new GHG thresholds of significance, which includes the exclusion of natural gas appliances and plumbing, reductions in project- generated vehicle miles travelled below the regional average, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Implementation measures will be identified (if any) to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels. It is assumed that a detailed traffic analysis that evaluates the project’ s vehicle miles travelled relative to the regional average will be provided to Baseline. It is also assumed that a written description of any proposed energy-saving features that are proposed to be included in the project design will be provided to Baseline.
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 18 TASK 2H. ENERGY
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to energy resources.
Baseline will summarize the project’ s proposed energy- saving features, projected energy consumption, consistency with applicable energy efficiency policies and standards, and the potential need for new energy supplies or facilities to serve the project. It is assumed that the applicant will provide written descriptions of any proposed energy- saving features.
TASK 2I. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials. The project site is located in a historically industrial area where the shallow subsurface consists of potentially contaminated fill that was historically placed in the San Francisco Bay.
Previous soil and groundwater investigations conducted on site in 2005 and 2015 detected petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals in the soil and groundwater. In addition to the soil and groundwater impacts, methane has been documented in the soil gas in the Emeryville area. Baseline will review and summarize the finings of previous environmental investigations performed at the project site. Baseline will also identify potential concerns associated with demolition of the existing buildings (e.g., lead paint, asbestos, and polychlorinated biphenyls) and the routine transport and use of hazardous materials during construction and operation. Implementation measures will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels.
We understand that additional environmental investigation and remediation of the project site would be performed under the oversight of the Department of Toxic Substances Control. Our scope and budget assumes that any environmental investigation related documents ( e.g., investigation workplans or reports) for the project site that would be discussed in the Initial Study would be made available to Baseline prior to performing the Initial Study analysis. If additional environmental investigation related documents are provided to Baseline after preparation of the Initial Study has commenced, then revisions to the Initial Study would be required, and a budget modification may be required to address such revisions. Our scope of work and budget assumes that a Remedial Action Workplan (RAW) or similar remediation plans for the project site would not be available prior to preparation of the Initial Study, and therefore the Initial Study would not include the review of a RAW or similar remediation related documents.
TASK 2J. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the project site is not located in a flood hazard zone. Construction of the proposed project would disturb potentially contaminated soils, resulting in the potential for erosion and mobilization of contaminated sediments in stormwater runoff.
Dewatering of excavations may be required during construction. If not properly managed, discharge of contaminated dewatering effluent could adversely affect receiving water quality. Creation of new impervious surfaces could alter drainage patterns and increase the rate and volume of stormwater runoff DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 19 from the project site to existing stormwater drainage systems. Baseline will analyze potential impacts related to hydrology and water quality that may result under development of the proposed project.
Construction activities would be required to comply with the State Water Board’s Construction General Permit for stormwater discharges. The proposed project would also be required to comply with the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) Permit, which includes the incorporation of post- construction stormwater management measures to manage and treat stormwater prior to discharge. Baseline will describe the construction-period and post-construction stormwater controls that are applicable to the proposed project. Implementation measures will be identified, as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to less- than- significant levels, if feasible.
TASK 2K. NOISE AND VIBRATION
Baseline will prepare an Initial Study section to evaluate potential impacts related to noise and vibration.
Noise and vibration generated during project construction could expose nearby sensitive receptors to levels that exceed the standards specified in the City of Emeryville General Plan and Municipal Code.
Noise impacts could also occur during operation of the proposed project because of the potential increase in vehicular traffic and stationary equipment.
The primary sources of existing ambient noise levels in the project vicinity are from I-80 and Union Pacific Railroad and Amtrak train activity. Baseline will provide a qualitative analysis of the project potential impacts and identify implementation measures to comply with the City’s Genal Plan’s policies to reduce noise and vibration impacts to a less- than- significant level.
TASK 2L. PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Urban Planning Partners will prepare an Initial Study section describing the existing utility infrastructure and public services that serve the City and project site based on information available from the utility providers and the project applicant’ s civil engineer. The following utilities and services will be evaluated:
schools, police, fire, libraries, waste disposal, wastewater, stormwater and water supply, telecommunications, and electricity and gas. Development that may occur from implementation of the proposed project will result in an increase in the existing demand for public services and utilities.
The need for coordination among facility and service providers and the project applicant/ developer for on- or off- site improvements will be addressed to ensure that any potentially significant impacts are mitigated to less-than-significant levels. Urban Planning Partners will describe potential impacts associated with utilities and services and project mitigation measures will be recommended as needed, to reduce any potentially significant impacts to a less- than- significant level, if feasible.
TASK 2M. TRANSPORTATION
Fehr & Peers will complete the following tasks as a part of this scope of work:
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 20 1. Project Trip Generation, Trip Distribution, and Study Assumptions Fehr & Peers will estimate the net new automobile trip generation for the project based on the data and methodology in the latest version of the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. Since ITE data is generally based on data collected at suburban sites where almost all trips are by automobile, they will adjust the ITE- based trip generation to account for the project location in Emeryville, where some trips are expected to be made by transit, walking, bicycling, or ridesharing. Trips from existing uses that would be eliminated with the project will also factor into the net trip generation assessment based on ITE data and data collected at the site in 2019. If a Transportation Demand Management ( TDM) plan has been prepared, they will also consider the various TDM plan elements.
Project trip estimates for walking, bicycling, and transit will also be developed.
Vehicle trip distribution will be estimated based on the relative location of complementary land uses, existing traffic patterns in the vicinity of the site, area traffic congestion, and the relative locations of freeway on- and off-ramps.
Based on the expected level of vehicle trip generation and expected trip distribution, Fehr & Peers will identify a list of study intersections where the project could appreciably add vehicle traffic. For budgeting purposes, they have assumed that these intersections would be identical to the 32 intersections evaluated for the previous Onni Christie project in 2019 and that the time periods to be evaluated will be the weekday morning and evening peak periods when the project would generate the most traffic.
Fehr & Peers will summarize the results of Task 1 in a memorandum and submit to the City of Emeryville to review and approve. If necessary, the memorandum will also provide modifications to this scope of work. The assumptions memorandum will also outline the methods they propose to evaluate the project’ s effect on the transit, bicycle, and pedestrian system, as well as outline the vehicle miles of travel assessment.
2. Project Trip Assignment and Intersection Volume Forecasts Based on the study locations identified in Task 1, Fehr & Peers will obtain weekday morning ( 7: 00 AM to 9:00 AM) and evening ( 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) peak period intersection turning movement counts, including a separate count of vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and trucks from previously completed studies in the area. Related to the Covid-19 pandemic, current traffic volumes do not represent typical conditions, and it is uncertain when traffic volumes will return to normal levels. This scope assumes that Fehr & Peers would use data collected for the previous 2019 Onni Christie project.
Fehr & Peers will develop AM and PM peak hour intersection turning movement volumes under the following scenarios for the study intersections:
Existing Conditions – Based on traffic data collected over the past five years, primarily data collected for previous 2019 Onni Christie project unless additional study intersections are identified
Existing Plus Project Conditions – Existing Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the Project
DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 21 Near- Term Conditions – Existing Conditions plus traffic generated by other pending projects expected to be developed in the next 5 to 10 years. Fehr & Peers will confirm with City of Emeryville staff the level of anticipated development in the study area to consider in the analysis of near-term conditions. Near-Term Conditions will also represent changes to traffic patterns and intersection signalization resulting from implementation of the Emeryville Quiet Zone Study.
Near- Term Plus Project Conditions – Near- Term Conditions plus traffic expected to be generated by the project
3. Operations Analysis
Fehr & Peers will evaluate intersection operations, including level of service ( LOS) and vehicle queues, for the study intersections during the AM and PM peak hours under the scenarios described in Task 2. The Powell-Christie Loop area experiences significant levels of congestion, including queue spillback from the I-80 ramps, which isolated intersection analysis does not fully capture. This scope assumes the use of the Vissim microsimulation network developed for the previous 2019 Onni Christie project to analyze intersection operations of the 20 study intersections in that network. This scope assumes the other 12 study intersections studied for the previous 2019 Onni Christie project would be analyzed using the Synchro software to apply Highway Capacity Manual Sixth Edition methodologies. Based on traffic operations goals identified by the City of Emeryville, they will recommend measures to improve operations at the study intersections.
Fehr & Peers will also conduct a signal warrant analysis for currently unsignalized study intersections using the California MUTCD peak hour vehicular volume warrant (Warrant 3) for urban conditions to determine if the traffic added by the project would result in the need for signalization at these intersections. The signal warrants analysis will be conducted for the AM and PM peak hours under the study scenarios. Fehr & Peers will analyze project impacts from daily traffic volumes on bicycle boulevards in the project vicinity and compare with the daily traffic volume standards established in the City of Emeryville Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan. As with intersection counts, this scope assumes that daily traffic count collections are not viable or representative of baseline conditions, and daily traffic counts collected in the past five years will be used instead.
Fehr & Peers will assess how the project would affect transit travel times on routes in the project vicinity using the Vissim microsimulation network. This scope assumes that the transit routes studied are identical to the 12 studied for the previous 2019 Onni Christie project.
Fehr & Peer’s assessment will also include a qualitative assessment of the bicycle, pedestrian, and transit systems within the study area and identify potential conflicts between the various travel modes. A safety assessment for each study intersection will be conducted as part of Task 7.
4. Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) Analysis
Consistent with SB 743 requirements, Fehr & Peers will conduct a VMT analysis to determine how the expected VMT generated per employee and per resident compares to regional and citywide averages.
They will first conduct a VMT assessment based on screening criteria established in guidance from the DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 22 Office of Planning and Research ( OPR) to determine if the project can be presumed to have a less- thansignificant impact on VMT. They will also conduct a detailed VMT assessment that estimates project daily VMT using the Alameda CTC Travel Demand Model and the trip generation estimates. Total daily VMT will be converted into VMT per employee and VMT per resident estimates. Although local agencies have discretion to establish VMT- related significance criteria, OPR guidance specifies that a project generating 15 percent less than regional VMT would be considered less- than- significant.
5. Congestion Management Program Analysis
The Congestion Management Program (CMP) requires the use of the Alameda CTC Countywide Travel Demand Model to assess the impacts on regional roadways near the project site should the project generate more than 100 PM peak hour trips. Based on the project description, it is expected the project will generate more than 100 peak hour trips. This scope assumes the evaluation of up to 20 CMP roadway and freeway segments under 2020 and 2040 conditions. Additionally, Fehr & Peers will assess the projects effect on the regional transit, bicycle, and pedestrian system per the CMP Land Use analysis program. The finding of this analysis related to the automobile system will also be correlated with the findings from the VMT assessment.
6. Site Analysis
Fehr & Peers will review the project site plan and the existing street network within one block of the project site to evaluate safety, access, and circulation for all travel modes in terms of the following:
Site access for automobiles, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including access to the nearest transit stops
Sight distance for pedestrians and automobiles at the project driveways Emergency vehicle access
Vehicular safety, access, and circulation, including in the project parking facility Pedestrian safety, access, and circulation, including assessment of pedestrian facilities, such as crosswalk treatments, signal equipment, sidewalk widths and ADA considerations adjacent to the project site and to the nearest transit stops
Bicycle safety, access, and circulation, including the streets connecting the project site to the nearest bicycle facilities
Location, type, and amount of bicycle parking
Proposed parking supply compared to City Code maximums
Site access for trucks, including maneuverability to/from loading docks Need for and location of passenger, accessible ( ADA) passenger, and commercial loading zones Adequacy of bus stop infrastructure serving the site transit users DocuSign 2FF79817FF8ADocuSign Envelope Envelope ID: ID: F6EC2AA6- 1855E8C8- 7204- 4573-4586- 49C5-B4D8- A5C3-5B83D1DC242C J U L Y 29, 2 0 2 2 R E V I S E D P R O P O S A L F O R S E R V I C E S 5801 C H R I S T I E A V E N U E M I X E D - U SE P R O J E C T 23 7. Collision History Analysis
Fehr & Peers will review five years of collision history (vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle) at the study intersections, as well as the road segments adjacent to the project site. Fehr & Peers will review the collision data for all modes and identify if there are any crash patterns by collision type, severity, primary collision factor, and movement. They will also develop predicted crash frequencies for each study location based on Part C of the Highway Safety Manual. These predicted crash frequencies will be compared against the observed crash frequencies to identify if any of the study locations experience a higher than predicted number of collisions. For budgeting purposes, they have assumed that these intersections would be the same as the 32 intersections evaluated for the previous 2019 Onni Christie project.
Based on the project’s trip assignment, Fehr & Peers will determine if the project’s added traffic would contribute to a study location with a higher than predicted number of collisions, and if so, they will identify potential treatments. There may be multiple potential treatment options. They will document the Crash Modification Factor ( CMF) for each treatment option ( along with the CMF’ s standard error and quality rating). The analysis will focus on 4- and 5-star quality CMFs with 3-star quality applied under limited circumstances. CMF sources will include Part D of the Highway Safety Manual and the CMF Clearinghouse. They will provide a list of treatments at locations to address the higher than predicted number of collisions for the City to consider. If a treatment would affect intersection operations, they will evaluate the potential impact using the Synchro software.
8. Plan Consistency Analysis
Fehr & Peers will review the City of Emeryville’ s adopted Plans and Policies pertaining to transportation and assess to what extent the project is consistent with them. The documents that they will review will be identified at the project kick-off meeting.
9. Documentation and Meetings
The following documents will be prepared:
Assumptions memorandum summarizing Task 1
Transportation section of the environmental document
Memorandum summarizing the non- CEQA analysis
This scope assumes the preparation of two administrative drafts and a final document.
Fehr & Peers will prepare for and attend up to five staff-level conference calls and two public meetings as part of this scope of work.

Utilizing the work completed in Task 2, Urban Planning Partners will draft and finalize a CEQA document that provides the analysis that will likely support streamlined approach based on the General Plan EIR, and the necessary findings for a community plan exemption and qualified infill exemption, as applicable.
As part of preparing this document, we will complete the following tasks.
TASK 3A. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
Urban Planning Partners will prepare an updated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that incorporates the applicable mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and included as Attachment A. The MMRP will identify responsibility for implementing and monitoring each mitigation measure, along with monitoring triggers and reporting frequency, subject to approval by City staff. A checklist will be prepared listing these items and providing a column for verification of compliance. The MMRP will be included as Attachment A to the CEQA Analysis/Addendum Document.
TASK 3B. ATTACHMENTS/ APPENDICES
Urban Planning Partners will complete the following documents as appendices to the CEQA Analysis Document. Additionally, any technical or modeling data to support the analysis completed in the tasks above will be included in the appendix.
1. Project Consistency with Community Plan or Zoning
Urban Planning Partners will prepare a separate Attachment demonstrating the project’ s consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.
2. Qualified Infill Performance Standards
Planning Partners will prepare a separate Attachment demonstrating the project’s consistency with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. 3, including CEQA Guidelines Appendix M.
3. Infill Performance Standards

Urban Planning Partners will prepare one (1) electronic copy of the administrative Draft Initial Study and submit to the City for review and comment. We will accommodate on-going dialogue with the City between completion of the administrative and screencheck drafts.
2. Screencheck Draft
Upon receipt of comments from the City on the administrative draft, Urban Planning Partners will consolidate and reconcile comments received and prepare a screencheck draft. A redline version of the draft will be provided, showing explicit changes made. Urban Planning Partners will provide three ( 3) hard copies and one ( 1) electronic copy of the screencheck draft for review and comment.
3. Publish Modified Initial Study Checklist
Urban Planning Partners will make any necessary revisions to the screencheck draft and finalize the document for publication. We will provide ten (10) hard copies and one ( 1) electronic copy, plus all appendices to the City for distribution. The electronic copy will be provided in three ( 3) formats including:
1) editable electronic format in MS Word; 2) high-resolution PDF for publication purposes (with searchable text); and 3) low-resolution PDFs broken into chapters/sections not exceeding 25 MB for publication on the City’ s website ( with searchable text).
Urban Planning Partners will maintain all materials referenced in the environmental document and promptly provide such materials to the City upon request.
TASK 3C. EIR SCOPE OF WORK
As an alternative to “Task 3C: CEQA Document,” it may be necessary to refine the scope of work following completion of the technical analysis. If it is determined through work done associated with Phase 1 or Phase 2 that a greater level of environmental review is necessary, such as a Draft EIR, Urban Planning Partners will confer with planning staff to determine the appropriate level of environmental review. Urban Planning Partners will then prepare a scope of work and budget for review and approval to the City and will provide the revised budget to the project applicant.
TASK 3D. HEARINGS
Urban Planning Partners will attend up to two (2) public hearings on the project and CEQA document, as necessary.
