Aspire ERES Charter School
Project, 15183.3 Infill Exemption and
CEQA Compliance Strategy, Oakland
Working with the City of Oakland, Stantec
developed a CEQA exemption package
compliance strategy for a 600-student, 49,000-square-foot public charter school infill project. The project is located on a brownfield site, and the team used CEQA Guideline
Section 15183.3, Appendix M, and Appendix N offered
under the CEQA streamlining infill provisions of SB 226.
The project was identified as a transit priority project (TPP) as it is located within a priority development area (Fruitvale and Diamond areas) as defined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in the Plan Bay Area 2040. Stantec used the prior CEQA analysis provided in the City of Oakland’s program EIRs, including the 1998 General Plan Land Use and Transportation Element and the 2003 Central City East Redevelopment Plan EIR, including the City of Oakland’s Standard Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures identified therein, as well as the 2013 Plan Bay Area EIR to address the project -specific environmental impacts of the project.
Working side by side with the City, Stantec prepared a series of technical studies in-house to support the CEQA exemption documentation package that included traffic (both Level of Service and vehicle miles travele d analysis), air, noise, and historical resources components. As part of the traffic analysis, Stantec calculated the project VMT with the implementation of transportation demand management measures. Stantec worked with the City of Oakland to identify an exemption method for the project to ensure the project would not result in significant impacts. This ensured both the developer and the City of Oakland a defensible and fully compliant CEQA strategy.

D. Proposed Scopes of Services
Project Understanding
The City of Napa is considering a proposal for the
redevelopment of approximately 6.7 acres located on the south side of First Street and Water Street and bounded by Napa River to the east and to the south. The Project is comprised of five parcels identified as assessor’s parcel numbers (APNs): 003-242-001, -004, -005, -006, -007, and -008. The Project proposes the construction of 130
residential units, 170 hotel rooms, 362 parking spaces, a trail along the river’s edge, and associated landscaping and pedestrian features. In addition, the Project proposed approximately 156,580 square feet (hotel and commercial) of non-residential space for visitor and community-serving uses, such as retail, food and beverage, and outdoor event space. The proposed maximum height of the structures
would be 75 feet. The Project site is also located along the Napa River within an existing floodplain and the Applicant will likely provide a flood solution through fill.
We Hear the Napa Community
The South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project will transform the Napa waterfront. Understanding the Project will be welcomed by some members of the Napa community and rejected by others, Stantec attended the Project’s Pre - Application Presentation to the Napa Planning Commission on June 15, 2023 to better understand the public’ perspective on the Project. Public comments during the June 15, 2023 meeting were focused on the following topics:
• Shared parking / subterranean parking
• Draft Demand Management Program
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
• Integration of pedestrian facilities with
existing community.
• Waterfront access.
• Oxbow District vs. Downtown
• Interaction with / impacts to Napa River
Flood Control Project
• Potential Impacts to Alta Heights
neighborhood
• Affordable Housing and Density Bonus Law
• City Art Program
• Total Hotel rooms within the surrounding
community area.
• Trucking Routes- Construction Activities
• Density identified in Napa’s General Plan
• Zero net energy and Green Buildings
• Community request for EIR
CEQA Approaches Evaluated
In preparation of this proposal, we reviewed various CEQA approaches to determine the recommended CEQA approach for the Project, including:
15183 - Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning: California PRC Section 21083.3, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. This approach streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to prepare repetitive environmental studies. In order for a project to qualify for streamlining under Section 15183, the project must be consistent with one of the following: (1) a community plan adopted as part of a general plan [Napa Downtown Specific Plan; the Project conforms], (2) a zoning action which zoned or designated the parcel on which the project would be located to accommodate a particular density of development [the Project conforms with current zoning of Oxbow South Oxbow Conceptual Rendering, Napa, CA
ATTACHMENT 1
South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project I Stantec 13
Commercial (OBC)], or (3) a general plan of a local agency [2040 Napa General Plan; the Project conforms], and the project must also be consistent with an EIR which was certified by the lead agency for the zoning action, the community plan, or the general plan [the Project conforms]. If significant impacts could occur, previous mitigation measures or uniformly applicable development policies or standards will be identified to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. If potential impacts cannot be reduced, preparation of an SCEA should be considered.
As such, the Project is eligible for streamlining under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183; however, it is advised that the City use 15183.3 per the discussion below. This approach gives limited flexibility related to mitigation and project specific impacts.
15183.3 Infill Exemption: The Project site is located in a Priority Development Area as identified by Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) (Downtown Napa and Soscol Gateway Corridor) within 0.2 - mile of the Soscol Gateway Transit Center, a major transit stop. Based on research and review of the frequency intervals as of July 2023, the Soscol Gateway Transit Center is a major transit stop that contains “the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods.” As such, the Project qualifies as a Transportation Priority Project (TPP). SB 226 Streamlining applies to TPP residential, retail, and office uses per Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21094.5; CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3 and promotes infill development by: (1) providing flexibility in project design by basing eligibility largely on environmental performance rather than prescribed project characteristics; and (2) avoiding repetitive environmental review where effects have already been analyzed at a programmatic level. In response to SB 226, new Guidelines Section 15183.3 was developed, requiring that a project, in order to be eligible for streamlined review, must meet certain criteria including being located in an urban area on a previously developed site or surrounded by at least 75 percent urban uses [the Project conforms], satisfying performance standards in CEQA Guidelines Appendix M [the Project conforms], and being consistent with applicable policies such as a Sustainable Communities Strategy [Plan Bay Area 2050; the Project conforms].
In addition to these requirements, the project must incorporate renewable energy components, promote transit or active transportation, be consistent with a plan for land uses surrounding transit stations within 0.5 miles of the project, and, in certain cases, undertake soil and water remediation.
Based on initial review of the Project information provided in the City's RFP, Stantec will evaluate whether the Project is qualified for an infill exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3. The evaluation will assess potential impacts on resource areas covered under CEQA following the Appendix M performance standards and the Environmental Checklist in Appendix N. The analysis will also consider the City's 2040 General Plan and its accompanying certified EIR and the Napa Downtown Specific Plan and its accompanying EIR to determine if project-specific impacts were adequately addressed. If significant impacts could occur, previous mitigation measures or uniformly applicable development policies or standards will be identified to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. If potential impacts cannot be reduced, preparation of an SCEA should be considered.
As such, the Project is eligible for the 15183.3 Infill Exemption and is preferred over the conventional 15183 approach, but gives limited flexibility related to mitigation and project specific impacts.
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) under SB 375: In order for a TPP or a Residential Project to be eligible for any of the SB 375 CEQA provisions, it must 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 PRC Section 21155(a) and 21159.28). The Project site is located in a Priority Development Area as identified by ABAG (Downtown Napa and Soscol Gateway Corridor]) within 0.2-mile of the Soscol Gateway Transit Center, a major transit stop. Based on research and review of the frequency intervals as of July 2023, the Soscol Gateway Transit Center is a major transit stop that contains “the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods.” Additionally, the density of the Project qualifies it as a TPP as defined by PRC Section 21155(b)―the South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project ATTACHMENT 1
South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project I Stantec 14
proposes a density of 26 units per acre, while the minimum density required to qualify for a TPP project is 20 units per acre.
As such, the Project qualifies for a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) under SB 375. An SCEA may be used for analysis of TPPs that have incorporated all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria set forth in prior applicable environmental impact reports (EIRs) (in this case, Plan Bay Area 2050 EIR, the Napa 2040 General Plan EIR, and the Napa Downtown Specific Plan EIR) (PRC Section 21155.2).
In accordance with the statue, residential projects with a total square footage of at least 50 percent residential uses (the Project site plans indicate that over 50 percent of the proposed uses would be residential) and TPPs can use the provisions in PRC Section 21159.28. Documents developed pursuant to PRC Section 21159.28 are NOT required to reference, describe, or discuss the following:
• Growth inducing impacts,
• Project specific or cumulative impacts from cars and light trucks on Global Warming or the Regional Transportation Network, and
• Cumulative effects identified and mitigated for in previous applicable EIR's shall NOT be treated as cumulatively considerable for the project.
As such Stantec will evaluate whether the Project is “qualified” as a TPP consistent with SCEA Criteria under PRC Section 21155 and 21155.2; including: Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy Consistency, Land Use, Density, Proximity to Transit, and Mitigation Incorporation.
The SCEA will evaluate the potential Project impacts on the resource areas covered under CEQA following the Environmental Checklist, Appendix G of the 2022 CEQA Guidelines.
If a significant impact could occur, specific mitigation measures would be required to bring any potentia l significant impact to a level that is less than significant. If a potential significant impact cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant, preparation of an EIR should be considered.
As such, the Project is eligible for CEQA provisions under SB 375 and qualifies for an SCEA. This document has the same level of legal defeasibility as an EIR, substantial evidence, with significantly less time and cost. This approach gives the maximum flexibility related to mitigation and project specific impacts.
Focused EIR. Napa City Council recently recognized the Soscol Gateway Transit Center as a major transit stop, as defined by PRC Section 21155, thereby qualifying the Project as a TPP and for CEQA streamlining per the provisions of SB 226 and SB 375. However, should preparation of the CEQA document identify a significant unavoidable impact, as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15126, or should City staff direct the preparation of an EIR, Stantec would prepare an EIR for the Project pursuant to PRC Section 21083; CEQA Guidelines Sections 15120 – 15132.
Stantec would review and rely on prior planning and environmental documents (e.g., the Napa 2040 General Plan EIR, the Napa Downtown Specific Plan EIR, the 1997 American Center for the Wine, Food, and Arts Project EIR, and the 1998 Floodwall Environmental Impact Statement [EIS]/EIR) to screen out Project-level and cumulative analyses as much as possible. An Initial Study will be prepared to provide for a thorough disclosure of potential environmental impacts, and a focused environmental impact report (EIR) will follow only for those resource topics for which a significant and unavoidable impact or over which considerable controversy may arise.
Based on a review of the Project and our knowledge of the Project setting, we anticipate the more significant potential environmental issues associated with development of the Project would include aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology and water quality, noise, and tribal cultural resources impacts. Prior to initiating work on the EIR, Stantec will prepare an Initial Study to scope the EIR so that it is limited only to those resource considerations that need to be evaluated in detail (likely to be ATTACHMENT 1
South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project I Stantec 15
aesthetics, air quality, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, hydrology and water quality, noise, and tribal cultural resources, based on the assumptions in this scope of work). Given the existing long-term operations on the site, the EIR will need to provide a detailed description of the baseline setting from which to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with both construction and long-term operations of the Project.
As such, the Project is eligible for a Focused EIR. This document has the advantage of the substantial evidence standard. This approach gives the maximum flexibility related to mitigation and project specific impacts.
Scopes of Work
Upon review of various CEQA approaches, Stantec believes preparation of an SCEA is the appropriate CEQA approach and documentation for the Project We recommend an SCEA be prepared for the Project as this allows a streamlined review process for residential infill development projects and projects within 0.5-mile of a major transit stop. The SCEA will provide greater flexibility related to mitigation as Project-specific mitigation measures may be included.
A standalone SCEA Scope of Work reflecting the Draft Scope of Services outlined in the RFP is included as Attachment B to this proposal.
A detailed cost tables and schedule are included in Attachment A. A summary of costs and schedules are also summarized in Section F. Cost Estimate and Timeline, of this proposal.
Quality Management and Consistency
Stantec has experience preparing multiple projects within geographic proximity to one another and we have learned through that experience that quality management and consistency is key to project document defensibility. To that end, Stantec has a formal quality management system in use across the organization that is registered to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality management standard. This internationally recognized standard for quality management reduces project risk, while providing support for regulatory compliance, promoting reliability, improving productivity and the efficiency of our services, and increasing client confidence. Our Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan will be built into the CEQA document’s technical, schedule, and budget needs to ensure that quality is built in at the beginning and verified as the Project progresses. What this means for the City is that when you receive a submittal from Stantec, City staff will be able to focus on content and context versus quality issues (typos, grammar, etc.) requiring re -work and revisions.
E. Staffing
Approach to Project Management
Our management approach is informed by many factors, including our experienced-based understanding of the City’s organizational structure, policies, and procedures for implementing CEQA and expectations regarding internal and external communications and overall performance. Our approach:
1. Supports the role of the City as the CEQA lead agency.
2. Clearly assigns overall project leadership responsibilities to the respective project manager.
3. Facilitates frequent and orderly communication between the City, the Stantec project team , the public, and trustee and responsible agencies.
4. Commits key personnel and senior staff to specific tasks for the duration of the performance period.
5. Coordinates the multi-disciplinary resources of the Stantec team to deliver high-quality work products that anticipate and respond to the City’s needs.
ATTACHMENT 1

6. Implements quality control measures before work products are submitted to the City.
7. Tracks and reports project cost and completion status to the City and to project personnel.
Responsible Personnel
For the South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project, Stantec offers a team that provides expertise across the complete suite of disciplines required to address the full range of environmental concerns that are likely to arise. The selection of our in-house team members was based on four key factors:
1. Technical expertise in issue areas of concern to the City;
2. Prior experience with similar projects with similar scope, locale, and issues;
3. Availability during the performance period and ability to anticipate and accommodate changes in schedules for delivering milestone work products; and
4. A demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and present technical information to the public and to assist the City in coordinating with other participating agencies.

2 A. Scope of Work – SCEA
In order for a Transit Priority Project (TPP) or a Residential Project to be eligible for any of the California Senate Bill (SB) 375 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provisions, it must 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 (Public Resource s Code [PRC] Section 21155(a) and 21159.28). The Project site is located in a Priority Development Area as identified by Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) (Downtown Napa and Soscol Gateway Corridor]) within 0.2-mile of the Soscol Gateway Transit Center, a major transit stop. The Soscol Gateway Transit Center is a major transit stop that contains “the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods.” Additionally, th e density of the Project qualifies it as a TPP as defined by PRC Section 21155(b)―the South Oxbow Mixed-Use Project proposes a density of 26 units per acre, while the minimum density required to qualify for a TPP project is 20 units per acre.
As such, the Project qualifies for a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) under SB 375. An SCEA may be used for analysis of TPPs that have incorporated all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria set forth in prior applicable environmental impact reports (EIRs) (in this case, Plan Bay Area 2050 EIR, the Napa 2040 General Plan EIR, and the Downtown Napa Specific Plan EIR( (PRC Section 21155.2).
In accordance with the statue, residential projects with a total square footage of at least 50 percent residential uses (the Project site plans indicate that over 50 percent of the proposed uses would be residential) and TPPs can use the provisions in PRC Section 21159.28. Documents developed pursuant to PRC Section 21159.28 are NOT required to reference, describe, or discuss the following:
• Growth inducing impacts,
• Project specific or cumulative impacts from cars and light trucks on Global Warming or the Regional Transportation Network, and
• Cumulative effects identified and mitigated for in previous applicable EIR's shall NOT be treated as cumulatively considerable for the project.
As such Stantec will evaluate whether the Project is “qualified” as a TPP consistent with SCEA Criteria under PRC Section 21155 and 21155.2; including: Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy Consistency, Land Use, Density, Proximity to Transit, and Mitigation Incorporation.
The SCEA will evaluate the potential Project impacts on the resource areas covered under CEQA following the Environmental Checklist, Appendix G of the 2022 CEQA Guidelines.
If a significant impact could occur, specific mitigation measures would be required to bring any potential significant impact to a level that is less than significant. If a potential significant impact cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant, preparation of an EIR should be considered. It is assumed that potential impacts can be reduced to a less-than-significant level, and the development of an EIR would not necessary; preparation of an EIR is therefore not included in this scope to prepare an SCEA .
Task 1: Project Management, Kick-off & Regular Update Meetings Upon the City’s review of our scope of work, Stantec’s Principal-in-Charge, Trevor Macenski, and Project Manager, Anna Radonich, will attend one 1-hour virtual meeting with City staff and the Applicant to explain the process, methodology, and approach to preparing an SCEA document.
Trevor and Anna will coordinate and attend one 2-hour kick-off in-person or virtual meeting with City staff and the Applicant to initiate the Project and review Stantec's scope of work and a description of the Project to be evaluated in the SCEA, including maps and graphics. To maximize efficiency, Stantec also proposes that the kick-off meeting agenda include, but not be limited to, the following action items:
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
3 • Introduce and establish lines of communication among project team members and identify roles and responsibilities.
• Identify, discuss, and revise, as necessary, the scope, methodology, content, approach, and schedule for completion.
• Review/refine the project objectives (CEQA).
• Discuss the schedule for providing information to Stantec for documents required for preparation of the SCEA.
Additionally, during the kick-off meeting, the Applicant team, City, and Stantec will discuss “baseline” and agree on the definition of baseline, for the Project CEQA analysis.
Within a week of the kick-off meeting, Stantec shall prepare and submit any revisions to the statement of work based on feedback from the City.
Once environmental review is underway, a bi-weekly Project check-in virtual meeting of up to one-hour would be scheduled with the City staff, Applicant, and the Project team to provide updates on the Project progress. Prior to each bi-weekly meeting, Stantec will provide an updated Microsoft Project schedule, agenda, and action items tracker. Stantec will prepare and distribute meeting minutes following all Project meetings Stantec prepares agendas for. In total, we have accounted for fourteen one-hour bi-weekly virtual meetings.
In addition, this scope includes one 2-hour virtual meeting for review of City comments to the Administrative Draft SCEA document.
This task also includes development and maintenance of the project schedule, and the internal coordination required to publish the necessary CEQA documentation and to prepare the “final” SCEA for adoption by the City. This task consists of those management activities that ensure Stantec’s ability to keep the Project running smoothly. As the liaison between Stantec staff, City staff, and Applicant, Stantec’s Principal-in-Charge, Trevor, will ensure that information is distributed appropriately, and that comments regarding Project-related issues are communicated effectively and efficiently.
Stantec will take notes during each meeting attended and distribute the draft notes to the meeting distribution list within three business days of each meeting.
Trevor and Anna will attend the following Project meetings:
• One 1-hour virtual meeting with City staff and the Applicant to explain the process, methodology, and approach to preparing an SCEA document.
• One 2-hour in-person or virtual kick-off meeting to initiate the Project. • Up to fourteen one-hour bi-weekly Project check-in virtual meetings. • One 2-hour virtual meeting for review of City comments to the Administrative Draft SCEA document.
• Trevor and Anna’s attendance at up to three public hearings is captured in Task 8, Public Hearings.
Deliverable

Task 2: Project Consistency Review and Mitigation Evaluation Under this task, Stantec will gather existing background data on the Project site using available sources such as information from the State Historic Preservation Office, Plan Bay Area 2050, Bay Area Air Quality Management District, and any information generated by the Applicant such as Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Preliminary Geotechnical Report, Arborist’s Report and Tree Survey, etc.
Stantec will develop the summary findings for the Plan Bay Area 2050 and conduct the mitigation applicability, identifying any mitigation measures that would apply to the Project.
Deliverable
• Draft Mitigation Evaluation: one electronic copy (MS Word and PDF as needed) Task 3: Project Description
Concurrent with Task 2, Project Consistency Review and Mitigation Evaluation, Stantec will initiate Project activities, working closely with City staff to ensure the development of a detailed Project Description in compliance with the City’s expectations. The Project description will include regional and local setting; the Project goals and objectives; and Project characteristics and important features and allow the public to provide input at public meetings and provide meaningful comments on the environmental consequences of the Project.
Deliverable
• Draft Project Description: one electronic copy (MS Word and PDF as needed) Task 4: Technical Studies
Stantec will prepare the below technical assessments in-house to support the SCEA analysis. The standalone Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas (GHG), and Energy Technical Study, Biological Resources Technical Memorandum, and Cultural Resources Technical Summary Report will each be included as appendices to the SCEA document, while the noise and transportation assessments will be wholly contained within the respective resource section with supporting documentation and modeling included as an appendix to the SCEA document. With exception to the in-house technical assessments listed below in Task 4, it is assumed that all other technical studies, site plans, and data, including, but not limited to the Preliminary Geotechnical Report, Phase I ESA, and water/sewer demand calculations, will be provided by the City and/or Applicant during the Project kick-off meeting. This scope of work does not include a Water Supply Assessment and assumes the Applicant will prepare one, if determined necessary, by the City. Additionally, Stantec’s scope does not include agency consultation or permits/permit fees obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Should permitting be required and not performed by the Applicant, Stantec can provide a supplemental scope of work and fee, upon request.
Task 4-1: Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis Stantec staff will prepare a standalone Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Technical Study in accordance with the provisions outlined in CEQA, and consistent with the requirements and methodologies recommended by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), the Napa 2040 General Plan, and SB 32 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
5 Affected Environment, Regulatory Setting, and Background Information: This will include a discussion of the Project location and regional setting, summary of pertinent and general air quality requirements, GHG statutes and regulations, including the federal and California Clean Air Acts, California and National Ambient Air Quality Standards and applicable regional air quality and GHG plans and programs. This tasks also includes listing of the Project area attainment status with the ambient air quality standards and summarizing local air quality data (as available). All sensitive receptor sites in proximity to the Project will be identified. The background information will also include a discussion of the Project’s electricity provider and pertinent energy regulations.
Criteria Pollutant Estimation. The air quality analysis will include a discussion and evaluation of regional construction emissions and long-term operational emissions. Emissions associated with Project construction and net operation (proposed project emissions minus existing site emissions) will be evaluated using the current version of the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). Pollutants to be assessed include the following: reactive organic gases (ROG), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). The construction and net operational emissions will be compared to BAAQMD project-level thresholds disclosed within the BAAQMD’s 2017 CEQA Guidelines to determine project significance.
Carbon Monoxide Hotspot Analysis. A qualitative assessment of CO hotspots will be provided consistent with BAAQMD CO screening analysis. If it is later determined that a quantitative assessment of CO is necessary, a budget augment will be requested.
Greenhouse Gas Analysis. The air quality modeling prepared for the criteria air pollutants will be used to generate emission estimates of GHGs in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MT CO2e).
Consistent with BAAQMD recommendations, construction and operational emissions will be disc losed within the analysis. In April 2022, the BAAQMD approved updated, qualitative GHG thresholds. These thresholds allow a project to determine significance based on an approved Climate Action Plan (CAP) or meet specific energy and transportation requirements. The City of Napa prepared a draft 2040 General Plan that was published in October 2022 and includes a Climate and Sustainability Element which states that the City is working with the County on a combined CAP. In the event that this CAP is prepared a nd approved prior to the time of analysis, then the CAP will be used to determine significance. However, if the CAP has not been finalized by the time of analysis, GHG significance will be determined based on the Project’s consistency with BAAQMD’s 2022 qualitative thresholds that would require vehicle miles traveled (VMT) reductions and all electric facilities. In addition, the Project will be compared to other applicable GHG reduction plans such as the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Scoping Plan.
Construction Health Risk Assessment. The Project site lies in an existing commercial area. Based on a review of Google Earth, there are single family residents located approximately 300 feet to the east and south of the project site boundary. To assess the impacts of construction-related diesel particulate matter (DPM) to nearby receptors, Stantec will prepare a quantitative health risk assessment (HRA) and will be included as an appendix to the Air Quality and GHG Technical Report. The HRA will be conduct ed in accordance with the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the BAAQMD guidance to assess these impacts. The construction HRA will include the following:
• Estimation of TAC Emissions. The main source of TACs would be DPM emissions from construction equipment. DPM emissions will be obtained from the CalEEMod modeling. • Air Dispersion Modeling. Dispersion modeling will be prepared using the current version of AERMOD, a dispersion model approved by the USEPA and BAAQMD to calculate the concentration of DPM at nearby sensitive receptors.
• Risk Characterization. The inhalation risk will be estimated as the main exposure pathway from Project emissions is inhalation. The HRA will be calculated following the latest OEHHA and BAAQMD guidance.
• Findings and Discussions: The findings for cancer and non-cancer risks will be disclosed and compared to BAAQMD thresholds.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
6 Note: Due to the proximity of nearby receptors, it is assumed that construction emissions will need to be mitigated with Tier 4 off-road construction to reduce the health risk during construction.
Operational Health Risk Assessment. Based on the preliminary project description, the Project is not a source of substantial toxic air contaminants such as those associated with distribution and large warehouse centers that would result in a health risk impact to nearby sensitive receptors. A qualitative discussion of the health risk impacts posed to existing, off-site sensitive receptors will be sufficient.
However, the Project would place new residents that could be impacted by existing stationary and mobile sources of TACs. The analysis will include a review of BAAQMD health risk screening tools to evaluate the single stationary and cumulative risk posed to new receptors from stationary and mobile sources within 1,000 feet.
Energy Analysis. Project energy demands from petroleum fuel (gasoline and diesel), natural gas, and electricity during both construction and operation will be calculated based on the air quality modeling output files, CARB’s EMFAC2021, and EMFAC OFFROAD. The analysis will also include a discussion of the project’s consistency with energy reduction plans include California Green Building Standards and the City’s 2040 General Plan.
Emissions Reductions and Significance Findings. If deemed necessary, mitigation measures will be identified to reduce significant impacts related to air constituents and GHG emissions. Emissions reductions from these measures will be quantified. Sources of measures include, but are not limited to, the Office of the California Attorney General and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures report. Significance findings will be provided for both pre- and post-mitigation conditions.
Assumptions
• Stantec will provide the City and Applicant with the modeling assumptions for review and comment prior to initiating the comprehensive modeling. The schedule clock will be paused during the review period and will begin upon receipt of acceptance. • CalEEMod will be used to estimate criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions. • If CalEEMod is updated and the update precipitates revised modeling a budget augment will be warranted.
• The criteria air pollutant/GHG modeling includes one round of comprehensive modeling and assumes modeling will be prepared for the existing site (to calculate the emissions that will be displaces) and the proposed Project. Based on the preliminary description of the project, this scope includes 12 hours of modeling. The scope assumes a single phase of construction. If the level of effort exceeds the estimated number of hours a budget augment may be requested. • A qualitative assessment of CO hotspots will be provided. If it is later determined that a quantitative assessment of CO is necessary, a budget augment will be requested. • The HRA assumes that construction will take place over a single phase. If construction is prepared in phases, a budget augment may be requested. If the construction phasing would place residents on the project site prior to completion of construction, an operational HRA to evaluate the risk posed to on-site receptors during remaining construction would be required and a budget augment may be requested.
• Major changes to the Project features, design, schedule or other parameters that precipitate revisions to the emissions modeling may also warrant a budget augment. • Changes to the Project that occur after completing the analysis that require re-modeling will be considered additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. • The Project is not considered a source of substantial odors. A qualitative assessment of odors will be provided, which documents the distance to any odor sources relative to the BAAQMD’s guidance.

7 • Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.
Data Needs
The following data would assist in preparation of the analyses. If data is not available, Stantec will use default modeling assumptions and may propose timing and phasing assumptions for approval. • The timing of construction, the type and number of construction equipment anticipated, and the amount of import or export of soil during construction. • Sustainability project design features that would reduce GHG emissions (i.e., energy efficiency features beyond what is required by law, use of drought tolerant plants, water reduction features, waste reduction features, etc.).
Schedule
Stantec will provide the methodology and modeling assumptions to the City for review within two weeks of receipt of all information needed to complete the analysis. Upon approval of the methodology and assumptions, the air quality/greenhouse gas emissions assessment will be provided to the City within four weeks.
Deliverable
• Standalone Air Quality, GHG, and Energy Technical Study with modeling output files included as appendices, included as an appendix to the SCEA document. The results will be reflected in the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy sections of the SCEA. The Study will be submitted to the City in PDF as needed.
Task 4-2: Biological Resources Assessment
The Project site is substantially developed; however, sensitive habitats or special-status species may still be present. Based on desktop review, existing General Plan information, and the 1999 Floodwall EIS/EIR, Stantec will characterize habitat types present in the Project area and the potential for special-status plant or wildlife species to occur. Stantec will also refer to the City’s tree ordinance and Municipal Code, Chapter 12.44. Based on the results of the desktop review, Stantec will identify standard measures from the General Plan EIR as they apply to the Project. Stantec will document the desktop review in a Biological Resources Technical Memorandum.
Assumptions
• Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.
Deliverable
• The standalone Biological Resources Technical Memorandum will be provided as a n appendix to the SCEA document. The results will be reflected in the Biological Resources section of the SCEA document. The Memorandum will be submitted to the City in PDF as needed.
Task 4-3: Cultural Resources Assessment
Stantec will prepare a standalone Cultural Resources Technical Summary Report that will evaluate the Project’s impacts to Cultural Resources. As part of this effort, Stantec, will conduct the following: 1) Review of background information and conduct desktop review of built resources over 50 years in age, 2) conduct pedestrian survey for archaeology and built resources 3) summarize results into an appropriate short technical document format, including historic context, eligibility recommendations and potential impacts on built environment resources. This will include completion of DPR-523 forms for state-level documentation of all surveyed resources.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
8 Review of Background Information and Desktop Review. Stantec will review background information regarding archaeological resources for the area, including relevant project files; National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listings; state and local landmark listings; and known previously recorded archaeological sites within 0.25-mile of the Project area.
Stantec will also review relevant background information for the area and the built environment, including relevant project files; National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listings; state and local landmark listings; and known previously recorded resources in the Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD).
In-person research may also be completed at the Napa County Library and the Napa County Clerk- Recorder or Assessor.
Pedestrian Survey. Stantec will conduct a pedestrian survey of the proposed Project area.
Archaeological survey will be conducted by walking systematic transects spaced no greater than 15 meters apart over the entire area of potential effect (APE). Stantec will also complete a built environment pedestrian survey of the built environment in the proposed Project area. This survey will be conducted by driving or walking down Vernon Street and Water Street to document present built environment conditions.
Summary Technical Report. Stantec will summarize the results of the desktop review, built resources evaluation, pedestrian surveys, and tribal outreach in a summary technical memo.
Tribal Cultural Resources Review. As now required by AB 52, The tribal cultural resources section of the SCEA will analyze direct and indirect impacts to tribal cultural resources as a result of the Project.
Stantec staff will analyze impacts by utilizing the information gathered through the cultural and historical resources section desktop review and survey as well as the results of AB 52 consultations with local Tribes to assess impacts to tribal cultural resources. We assume that tribal cultural resources, if impacted, will be mitigated to a less than significant level. This scope of work assumes Stantec will work with the City to prepare and conduct all AB 52 outreach and consultation. Stantec will engage Native American tribes based on the City’s lists to ensure that they are invited to consultation regarding the Project.
Assumptions

The results will be reflected in the Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources sections of the SCEA.
The Report will be submitted to the City in PDF as needed.
Task 4-4: Noise Impact Assessment
Stantec will develop a noise study within the SCEA document that will evaluate the Project’s impacts from noise. Major noise sources in the Project area are related to roadways, such as First Street and Soscol Avenue, existing retail buildings, single family homes, and activities associated with these uses. Noise increases associated with traffic as well as construction, stationary sources such as HVAC equipment, general operational activities, and functions at the event barn associated with the Project, need to be evaluated. The Noise section of the SCEA document will be developed using the following steps:
• Stantec will assess the current ambient noise levels at the Project site using the noise contours contained in Figure 3.11-2 and Table 3.11-11 in the Napa 2040 General Plan EIR. • Using the published ambient noise levels, initial project information, and general site and exterior façade assumptions, establish initial recommendations to mitigate exterior noise to meet the standards for Land/Use Noise Compatibility in the Napa 2040 General Plan, California Building Code, and the California Green Buildings Standards Code (CalGreen). • Using the Project specific traffic count data provided by the traffic assessment and general industry standard practice, determine the potential effect the Project will have on local traffic counts and determine the impact to the neighboring community. Data will be evaluated for anticipated traffic noise during the construction of the Project and from operational traffic noise after the Project is functional.
• Quantify the fixed-source operational noise and event barn noise generated by the Project to determine potential noise impacts associated with the Project and will identify potential measures to address these impacts in accordance with Chapter 8.08 “Noise Control Regulations” in the City of Napa Municipal Code and the requirements in the City’s 2040 General Plan. • Stantec will use the Federal Highway Administration Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) to determine potential impacts to surrounding sensitive receptors from short term construction noise. Stantec will provide an assessment regarding project-related construction and its impact on existing noise sensitive receivers.
• Using the information contained in the Federal Transit Administration, Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Guidelines document, determine the potential groundborne vibration impact of the Project construction to nearby sensitive receivers.
Assumptions
• The noise analysis will be wholly contained within the Noise section of the SCEA. As such, Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.
Deliverable
• The noise impact assessment will be included within the Noise section of the SCEA, and all modeling results will be included an appendix to the SCEA document in PDF.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
10 Task 4-5: Transportation
Stantec will evaluate the Project’s impact on transportation, including an analysis of VMT. The analysis will address CEQA Guidelines regarding the analysis of transportation impacts where VMT is recognized as the most appropriate metric to evaluate a project’s transportation impact. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has provided a Technical Advisory (December 2018) that recommends specific VMT significance thresholds that may constitute a significant transportation impact and lead agencies have the discretion to set or apply their own thresholds of significance. OPR recommends use of a per-capita measurement of VMT for CEQA analysis based on average VMT per resident for evaluation of residential development. The City of Napa has similarly adopted thresholds of significance consistent with the OPR recommendation. Certain types of development, such as development within a
0.5-mile of an existing major transit stop can generally be presumed to have a less than significant impact on VMT.
The proposed Project would add new development that is less than a 0.5 mile walk from the Soscol Gateway Transit Center located on Burnell Street. The Project site is also located with a Priority Development Area as designated by the Napa County Transportation Authority, as well as within a Transit Priority Area as documented by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The Soscol Gateway Transit Center is a hub for Vine Transit with bus arrivals every few minutes. Since the Soscol Gateway Transit Center qualifies as a major transit stop, the Project is expected to have a less than significant impact on VMT.
The transportation assessment will also address potential conflicts with current transportation planning programs (plans, ordinances, and policies), increased hazards due to the project geometric design features if applicable, and emergency access.
Exclusions
• Intersection level of service (LOS) analysis. Per the request of the City, Stantec has developed a preliminary scope of work to evaluate LOS as a separate and standalone scope of work. We anticipate working with the City to finalize the desired intersections and modeling scenarios. Stantec’s LOS scope of work/fee is included as Attachment 1 to this SCEA proposal. • Site circulation and access analysis
• We anticipate a parking evaluation will be prepared by the Applicant in working with the City Assumptions
• The VMT analysis will be wholly contained within the Transportation section of the SCEA. As such, Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.
Deliverable
• The transportation assessment will be wholly contained within the Transportation section of the SCEA, and all relevant data and calculations will be an appendix to the SCEA document in PDF.
Task 5: Administrative Draft SCEA
Stantec will prepare the Administrative Draft SCEA under this task, which will include a description of the Project, supporting map(s) showing the Project site, a list of Project objectives, the probable environmental effects of the Project based on criteria contained in the Plan Bay Area 2050 EIR and the 2022 CEQA guidelines. Stantec will develop a SCEA that incorporates all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria set forth in the Plan Bay Area 2050 EIR, the Napa 2040 General Plan EIR, and the Downtown Napa Specific Plan EIR) (PRC Section 21155.2) Stantec will also rely on information in the the 1997 American Center for the Wine, Food, and Arts Project EIR, and 1999 Napa River/Napa Creek Flood Reduction Project Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement[EIS]/EIR [1998 Floodwall EIS/EIR]) to supplement the analysis as needed.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
11 The SCEA will evaluate the potential Project impacts on the resource areas covered under CEQA following the Environmental Checklist, Appendix G of the 2022 CEQA Guidelines.
If a significant impact could occur, specific mitigation measures would be required to bring any potential significant impact to a level that is less than significant. If a potential significant impact cannot be mitigated to a level of less than significant, preparation of an EIR should be considered. It is assumed that potential impacts can be reduced to a less-than-significant level and the development of an EIR would not be necessary; preparation of an EIR is therefore not included in this scope to prepare an SCEA.
All text and graphics to be used in the SCEA will be included, in proposed final form, in the Administrative Draft SCEA document.
In addition to all legal requirements, the Administrative Draft SCEA will also include the following:
• A summary table that clearly describes all potential impacts, states whether or not the impact is significant, identifies potential mitigation measures, and indicates whether or not the impact remains significant upon implementation of the mitigation measures. • Maps, graphics, tables, and charts necessary to clearly depict the location and nature of any environmental constraints and potentially significant impacts identified in the SCEA, and present relevant information.
• An impact discussion that numerically identifies each impact, with each significant impact followed by appropriate mitigation measures. Whenever possible, equally effective alternative mitigation measures should be proposed. This will allow the City to select the mitigation measure determined to be most feasible and desirable at the time of Project approval.
Furthermore, the Administrative Draft SCEA document will also include a robust, separate, and specific section documenting and establishing the baseline conditions for the Project. The Project site is cur rently developed.
The SCEA will include the following sections:
• Introduction. This section will provide introductory information about the Project and the document organization. This section will also include the required findings indicating that the Project complies with the requirements of CEQA for using a SCEA pursuant to PRC Section 21155.2(b).
• Project Description. This section will include the Project Description. • Transit Priority Projects and the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment.
This section will include a background discussion on SB 375 and an analysis of the Project’s consistency with the TPP Criteria and Plan Bay Area 2050. • Initial Study Checklist. This section will include the completed Initial Study Checklist showing the significance level under each environmental impact category. • Environmental Impact Analysis. This section will include an assessment and discussion of impacts associated with each subject area in the Initial Study Checklist. In making an impact determination, the analysis will assume implementation of applicable Project design features.
Where potentially significant effects are identified, mitigation measures will be provided to reduce such impacts to a less-than-significant level. Each checklist discussion will list applicable Project- level mitigation measures from the Plan Bay Area 2050 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and demonstrate Project compliance.
• List of Preparers. This section will provide a list of City personnel, other governmental agency personnel, and consultant team members who participated in the preparation of the SCEA. • References, Acronyms, and Abbreviations. This section will provide a list of references, acronyms, and abbreviations used in the SCEA.

Our team will compile all sections of the SCEA document and will conduct thorough internal senior review by the Project Manager, QA/QC review, and editorial review to ensure an appropriate level of technical content, readability, and consistency prior to submittal to the City for review.
The Administrative Draft SCEA will be prepared for the City. Stantec will then use City comments on the Administrative Draft SCEA to develop the Screencheck Draft SCEA. While all resources will be analyzed in the SCEA, per CEQA Guidelines, the following discussions highlight the resource considerations that we anticipate being critical to the Project:
Aesthetics
This section of the SCEA will address the visual resources in the Project vicinity and the potential for visual impacts to occur as a result of implementing the Project. The Napa 2040 General Plan will be used to determine the local significance of the area’s visual character. While the Project site is formerly a developed project in an urban area, the Project will constitute a denser land use on the Project site, and thus could potentially affect the aesthetic character or quality of the existing visual environment. Stantec will use the Applicant’s elevations to evaluate the potential visual and aesthetic impacts from the Project.
While a formal aesthetics analysis is not required for an SCEA document, Stantec will include the section in the SCEA document for informational purposes.
Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Stantec will prepare the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions sections of the SCEA using the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Technical Study outlined in Task 4-1, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Biological Resources
Stantec will prepare the Biological Resources section of the SCEA using the Biological Resources Technical Memorandum as outlined in Task 4-2, Biological Resources Assessment, and the 1999 Floodwall EIS/EIR.
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
Stantec will prepare the Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources sections of the SCEA using the Cultural Resources Technical Summary Report as outlined in Task 4-3 Cultural Resources Assessment. This scope of work assumes Stantec will work with the City to prepare and conduct all AB 52 outreach and consultation. Stantec will engage Native American tribes based on the City’s lists to ensure that they are invited to consultation regarding the Project.
Energy
Stantec will prepare the Energy section of the SCEA using the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Energy Technical Study outlined in Task 4-1, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Stantec will prepare the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the SCEA using the Phase I ESA and any other information prepared by the Applicant’s consultant. Stantec will use the Phase I ESA to describe the known and potential sources of hazardous wastes in the Project vicinity (i.e., with 0.25 -mile of the Project site). Additionally, Stantec will review online databases from the Department of Toxic Substances Control, Regional Water Quality Control Board, and other regulatory agencies to determine the potential for encountering hazardous wastes within the Project area.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Stantec will analyze potential impacts on hydrology and water quality, including analysis of the stormwater system, potential flooding impacts, and potential impacts on the Napa River, when preparing ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
13 the Hydrology and Water Quality section of the SCEA. Stantec will reference the 1999 Floodwall EIS/EIR as needed.
Land Use and Planning / Population and Housing
Existing conditions will be reviewed by Stantec through resource-specific site visits, by determining site zoning, and examining local land use plans and policies to determine Project consistency. Existing surrounding land uses will be identified and described to determine land use compatibility and to identify potential conflicts that could occur during Project construction or operation. In evaluating land use issues, Stantec will consider the consistency/compliance of the Project with federal, state, regional, and local land use plans and regulations, as well as the Project’s compatibility with the existing and planned land uses in the vicinity.
Stantec will compare the Project’s impacts in population with the Napa 2040 General Plan and General Plan Housing Element to confirm that the Project’s impacts to population have been accounted for both at regional and local levels, and to determine if an appropriate jobs/housing balance will be maintained.
Noise
Stantec will prepare the Noise section of the SCEA as outlined in Task 4-4, Noise Impact Assessment.
Public Services
Stantec will use the most recent data available and contact relevant service providers to provide a description of existing Napa community services, including police and fire protection and schools. We will provide a description of potential impacts to existing conditions and services resulting from the construction and operation of the Project.
Transportation
Stantec will prepare the Transportation section of the SCEA as outlined in Task 4-5, Transportation. We will evaluate both onsite and adjacent circulation routes for both automobile, pedestrian, and bicyclists to make the requisite significance determinations in accordance with the CEQA guidelines. Stantec will assess the transportation impacts (i.e., traffic, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and parking) associated with construction and operation of the Project. The Project site is located within 0.2-mile of the Soscol Gateway Transit Center, a major transit stop. Generally, projects within 0.5-mile of a major transit stop should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact.
Utilities and Service Systems
This section of the SCEA will address potential effects related to the availability and capacity of utilities and services. Utilities and services that will be addressed include sewer service, water service, and solid waste collection and disposal. This section will discuss whether any of these services or facilities is below adopted standards, or near or beyond their capacity to adequately serve the Project. Stantec will rely on stormwater, sewer, and water supply/capacity calculations provided by the Applicant. Particular attention will be given to water demands that will result from long-term operation of the Project.
Wildfire
The SCEA document will analyze the potential for wildfire inducement. Stantec will utilize any existing fire behavior modeling and City and County wide efforts but will make current references to existing fuel loads and wind behaviors. Additionally, Stantec will reference any State Wildfire Hazard Severity Zone designations.
A detailed analysis of impacts that could occur as a result of implementation of the Project will be conducted and presented for each element of the natural and built environment. Baseline conditions will be qualitatively and quantitatively described. The boundaries of the affected environment will be established by definable geographic units such as airshed, watershed, viewshed, and socio -political ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
14 boundaries. Impacts will be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed and described. Significance of impacts will be measured against criteria that have been established by regulation, accepted standards, or other definable criteria. Information sources will be cited.
Stantec will prepare and submit one electronic copy (MS Word) of the Administrative Draft SCEA (including appendices) to the City for review. It is assumed the City will provide one consolidated, reconciled set of comments on the Administrative Draft SCEA.
Deliverable
• Administrative Draft SCEA: one electronic copy (MS Word and PDF as needed).

D. Proposal Assumptions and Terms & Conditions
The assumptions used in determining the above Project schedule and cost estimate are provided below:
Scope Assumptions
• This scope of work is considered preliminary and interim in nature. More specifically, it may be subject to revisions based upon feedback from Napa’s review of our proposal. • This proposal is a firm offer of services for a period of 60 days. All work will be performed on a time and materials price basis.
• With exception to the in-house technical assessments listed in Task 4, it is assumed that all other technical studies, site plans, and data, including, but not limited to the Preliminary Geotechnical Report, Phase I ESA, and water/sewer demand calculations, will be provided by the City and/or Applicant during the Project kick-off meeting.
• This scope of work does not include a Water Supply Assessment and assumes the Applicant will prepare one, if determined necessary, by the City.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
18 • Stantec’s scope does not include agency consultation or permits/permit fees obtained from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Should permitting be required and not performed by the Applicant, Stantec can provide a supplemental scope of work and fee, upon request. • It is assumed that potential impacts can be reduced to a less-than-significant level and the development of an EIR will not be necessary; preparation of an EIR is therefore not included in this SCEA scope or work.
Review Assumptions
The cost estimate is based on the assumption the City will conduct a three-week review of the Administrative Draft SCEA document and a two-week review of the Screencheck Draft SCEA document, resulting in schedule presented in Section B, Schedule, above. Should the City determine they require additional time for their review or additional rounds of revisions, the schedule will change, and additional budget may be required.
General Assumptions
• It is assumed the City will provide one consolidated, reconciled set of comments on each deliverable.
• There will no more than 50 individual comments on the publicly circulated SCEA requiring preparation of responses for the City’s Staff Report.
• Should comments on the Administrative Draft and Screencheck Draft SCEA require new analysis, a revised scope of services and fee would be provided.
• Stantec will submit the SCEA document to State Clearinghouse per State Clearinghouse electronic upload requirements; it is assumed that the City will be responsible for further distribution of the SCEA as required by law.
• We assume the City will receive all public comments on the SCEA document and compile them for Stantec.
• It is assumed Stantec will need to prepare a slide-deck presentation and/or graphics of the Project to accompany the City’s Staff Report presentation at public hearings. • When meetings take place as a formal public hearing before the Planning Commission or City Council, the City will be responsible for the preparation of minutes and the keeping of records.
Air Quality Assumptions
Assumptions
• Stantec will provide the City and Applicant with the modeling assumptions for review and comment prior to initiating the comprehensive modeling. The schedule clock will be paused during the review period and will begin upon receipt of acceptance. • CalEEMod will be used to estimate criteria air pollutant and GHG emissions. • If CalEEMod is updated and the update precipitates revised modeling a budget augment will be warranted.
• The criteria air pollutant/GHG modeling includes one round of comprehensive modeling and assumes modeling will be prepared for the existing site (to calculate the emissions that will be displaces) and the proposed Project. Based on the preliminary description of the project, this scope includes 12 hours of modeling. The scope assumes a single phase of construction. If the level of effort exceeds the estimated number of hours a budget augment may be requested. • A qualitative assessment of CO hotspots will be provided. If it is later determined that a quantitative assessment of CO is necessary, a budget augment will be requested.
ATTACHMENT 1
Scope of Work – SCEA
19 • The HRA assumes that construction will take place over a single phase. If construction is prepared in phases, a budget augment may be requested. If the construction phasing would place residents on the project site prior to completion of construction, an operational HRA to evaluate the risk posed to on-site receptors during remaining construction would be required and a budget augment may be requested.
• Major changes to the Project features, design, schedule or other parameters that precipitate revisions to the emissions modeling may also warrant a budget augment. • Changes to the Project that occur after completing the analysis that require re-modeling will be considered additional work that is not covered by this scope of work. • The Project is not considered a source of substantial odors. A qualitative assessment of odors will be provided, which documents the distance to any odor sources relative to the BAAQMD’s guidance.
• Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.
Data Needs
The following data would assist in preparation of the analyses. If data is not available, Stantec will use default modeling assumptions and may propose timing and phasing assumptions for approval. • The timing of construction, the type and number of construction equipment anticipated, and the amount of import or export of soil during construction. • Sustainability project design features that would reduce GHG emissions (i.e., energy efficiency features beyond what is required by law, use of drought tolerant plants, water reduction features, waste reduction features, etc.).
Schedule
Stantec will provide the methodology and modeling assumptions to the City for review within two weeks of receipt of all information needed to complete the analysis. Upon approval of the methodology and assumptions, the air quality/greenhouse gas emissions assessment will be provided to the City within four weeks.
Deliverable
• Standalone Air Quality, GHG, and Energy Technical Study with modeling output files included as appendices, included as an appendix to the SCEA document. The results will be reflected in the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy sections of the SCEA. Stantec will prepare Administrative Draft, Screencheck Draft, and Final/Public Draft of all technical studies/assessments.

ATTACHMENT 1
1 Napa Oxbow Project – Traffic Study Scope of Work & Fee Estimate (Updated October 23, 2023) The project consists of a proposed hotel and residential development in the City of Napa, generally near the intersection of 1st Street and Vernon Street. Primary access to the project site is proposed via Vernon Street, Water Street, and a hotel driveway on 1st Street. The project site is currently occupied by a parking lot and various low traffic generating uses. Following is a scope of work to prepare a traffic study for the proposed project.
Scope of Work
1. Trip Generation Analysis
Estimates of project generated traffic will be prepared using standard Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates for the proposed uses. The trip generation and the project’s preliminary trip distribution estimates will be utilized to derive a recommended study area for analysis. This information will be documented in a scoping memorandum and provided to the City for review and approval.
2. Existing Conditions Setting
The study area is anticipated to consist of the following seven (7) intersections in the vicinity of the project site:
1) 1st Street & Main Street (signal)
2) 1st Street &Soscol Avenue (signal)
3) 1st Street & McKinstry Street (side-street stop)
4) 1st Street & Vernon Street (side-street stop)
5) 1st Street & Juarez Street (side-street stop)
6) 1st Street & Silverado Trail (signal)
7) Vernon Street & Water Street (uncontrolled)
AM and PM weekday peak period intersection turning movement counts will be collected at the locations listed above using a professional traffic data collection service. The scope of work presented herein includes a budget sufficient to acquire new peak hour intersection turning movement counts for the seven (7) existing study area intersections noted above and 24-hour mid-block average daily traffic (ADT) counts for the study area roadways at three (3) key locations along 1st Street.
The final study area will be determined by City staff through the scoping process. Should the City require expanding the study area beyond what is identified above, an additional fee may apply. Roadways within the study area will be reviewed for the presence of facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. Intersection Level of Service (LOS) will be calculated for each intersection with a delay-based methodology using Synchro/SimTraffic software.
ATTACHMENT 1
3. Future Traffic Conditions
Traffic volume forecasts corresponding to a cumulative condition appropriate for the project’s anticipated near-term build-out year will be derived. A listing of pending and approved projects in the vicinity of the project site is to be provided by the City. Traffic generation estimates for the cumulative projects will be used to derive ADT forecasts for the study area mid-block roadway segments and peak hour intersection turning movement data for the study area intersections. This will then provide the background traffic data conditions for analysis of the project.
4. Intersection Operational Analysis
An intersection operational analysis of the following scenarios will be prepared:
1. Existing Conditions
2. Existing Conditions plus Project
3. Near-term Cumulative Conditions without Project
4. Near-term Cumulative Conditions with Project
A roadway operational analysis will be prepared for the study area intersections listed above, as well as each proposed project access location. Intersection LOS will be calculated and any operational deficiencies will be identified, along with potential treatments to address the deficiency if feasible. The site access evaluation will include queue length estimates, turn-pocket storage recommendations, and a traffic signal warrant analysis where applicable. Evaluation of long-range/General Plan horizon year analysis is specifically excluded from this scope of work and, if needed, would be subject to an additional fee.
5. Reports
A comprehensive traffic study report will be prepared to document the data and findings of the traffic analysis described above. Up to two (2) draft reports will be provided to the City for review and comment with revisions limited to the specific scope of work identified above incorporated into a final report.
6. Project Team Support
Stantec staff will be available for meetings and conference calls with the project team and City staff when requested. A total of 10 hours is budgeted for such meetings, with additional meeting time available at our standard hourly rates when authorized.
Deliverables
1. 1st Draft traffic study report for City review
ATTACHMENT 1
2. 2nd Draft traffic study report for City review
3. Final traffic study report
Fee Estimate
The fee estimate for the referenced scope of work is $35,788.
Exclusions
The above scope of work specifically excludes the following:
a. Parking studies
b. Geometric design
c. Travel demand model runs
d. Long-range/General Plan horizon year analysis
e. Response to public comments on circulated environmental documents and appendices f. Attendance at public meetings or hearings
