Agenda Item Title
Part Five of Six Reports: Receive and Discuss Annual Report From City of Sonoma Community Services Provider: Sebastiani Theatre Foundation Summary
This is a continuation of the annual reports provided by the City of Sonoma's recreation and community services partners. On March 1, 2023 we started hearing from our partners, due to the amount of time it took to get through the presentations and questions, City staff is expanding the presentations across six meetings with the reports wrapping up on June 7, 2023. Sebastiani Theatre Foundation will be presenting their annual report during the meeting. They have been asked to prepare a 5-7 minute report to be followed by questions and answer period.
BACKGROUND
The City of Sonoma has a long history of providing funding to various recreation and community service initiatives through annual grant funding, one-time investments in facilities, financial support for leases, and/or low annual lease rates for property or buildings. In addition, the City has traditionally supported many community events and activities by waiving or reducing city fees and at times, providing direct financial support. The City also has supported non-profits through the years for one-time initiatives or opportunities. The City’s support for a variety of recreation and community services is an important component in ensuring a high quality of life for its residents.
In 2017, the City Council directed staff to create a new program that would take the City's hybrid approach and formalize it, by providing multi-year contracts and/or lease agreements to nonprofits delivering core recreation and environment services to the community, support for heritage/legacy community events through fee waivers, and an opportunity to fund/support unique projects that are impactful to the community through a discretionary reserve fund.
On March 15, 2018, this new program "Recreation and Community Services Program and Funding and Policy Guidelines" centralized these partnerships in a manner to allow them to be visible to the community especially since many of these investments have occurred through the years. The City Council reviewed and revised the program on August 3, 2022 (Attachment A).
The purpose of the Recreation and Community Services Program is to centralize and bring together the many investments that the City provides. This updated Program has the following five components:
1. Multi-year contracts with key non-profit organizations which provide core recreation and community service programs where there has been a long City partnership;
2. Fee waivers and financial support for events that celebrate our community’s heritage and history;
3. Fee waivers for community events that celebrate seasonal events and bring our community together; and,
Agenda Item #6.6:
4. Discretionary funding to support unique projects that are impactful to the community/City that may arise during the year without tapping into the City’s reserves; and
5. Enhancement of a “Recreation and Community Services” webpage on the City’s website to provide information and links regarding this program, our partners and the City’s investments.
In many cities, there are city employees and a dedicated Recreation and Community Service Department that deliver youth programs, athletic programs, senior services, arts and theater, and the facilities that operate these programs. In Sonoma, these core recreational programs are provided by non-profits; the City has not provided these programs directly. For many decades, the City has provided annual grant funding to key non-profits which over time became known as the “Tier 1” non-profits. Due to these long-term partnerships, the City and its residents have experienced cost savings through the avoidance of creating a City department with appropriate staffing devoted to recreational and community programs. By leveraging the talents, skills, networks, and resources already available in the community, the City has invested in recreation and community programs for decades. This approach has proven to be a cost effective, efficient, and flexible method to meet the changing needs of the community.
Non-profit organizations which provide these recreational and community programs are expert at delivering some traditional services provided by city governments elsewhere.
During FY22/23 budget session, City council members requested a deeper dive into these partnerships, to gain a better understanding of the services being provided as well as a better understanding of the value of the support the City provides. The value is not just the monetary contributions but also in financial support of leases and or low annual lease rates of public property.
The agreements between the City and the community partners contain clauses requesting annual reports to City Council. This year City staff has arranged over a series of City Council meetings to have each of the community partners present an annual report. They were each provided an outline of items to cover and staff requested they prepare a 5–7-minute presentation.
Below is the list of items that were asked to be covered during the report to City Council.
Introduction & Background including:
• date of formation
• history
• mission
Populations and number of individuals served annually. If available, please include:
• demographic data or analysis of age, race, and socioeconomic information of your customers/clients
• equity-focused programs, practices, outreach strategies, tools, and/or policies that make your programming and services accessible to community members with access and functional needs, language barriers, and/or who need financial assistance.
Financial Information
• High level overview of revenue/grants and expenses
• How the City’s contribution supports your organization and mission • Any significant expenditures or upgrades to facilities/property planned Community Partnerships
• Highlight any partnerships within the community.
What’s New?
• Discuss any new programs, initiatives and instructors or staff.
Agenda Item #6.6:

(or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee's behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies. or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equal to 115% of the costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in such performance upon receipt of an invoice therefor. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or withoutfurther notice or demand, and withoutlimitingLessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. in such event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i)the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (ii)the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii)the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the Lessee‘s failure to perform its’obligations'under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limitedto the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, expenses of reietting, including necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in provision(iii)of the immediately preceding sentence shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the Districtwithin which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee's Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor's right to recover any damages to which Lessor is otherwise entitled. if termination of this Lease is obtained through the provisionalremedy of unlawfuldetainer.Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceeding any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover all or any part thereof in a separate suit. if a notice and grace period required under Paragraph 13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee under the unlawfuldetainer statute shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. in such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute. (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee's right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in which event Lessee ’ may sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, elforts to relet, and/or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor‘s interests, shall not constitute a termination of the Lessee's right to possession. me.m_e.mna..e.u.=t«e....s=....a..,........_...../
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, pursueany other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or terminationof this Lease and/or the termination of Lessee's right to possession shall not relieve Lessee from liabilityunder any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof or by reason of Lessee's occupancy of the Premises.
13.3 inducement Ftecapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration for Lessee's entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as "inducement Provisions", shall be deemed conditionedupon Lessee's fulland faithfulperformance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any such inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed deleted fromthis Lease and of no further force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated, given or paid by Lessor under such an inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in writingby Lessor at the time of such acceptance.
13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease.the exact amount of which willbe extremely difficultto ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limitedto, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent shall not be received by Lessor within 5 days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to 10% of each such overdue amount or $100, whichever is greater. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor willincur by reason of such late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's Default or Breach withrespect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.in the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collectedqfor 3 consecutive installments of Base Rent, then notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessors option, become due and payable quarterly in advance.
13.5 interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder.other than late charges, not received by Lessor, when due shall bear , interest from the 31st day after itwas due. The interest ("|nterest“) charged shall be computed at the rate of 10% per annum but shall not exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge providedfor in Paragraph 13.4.

If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in fullforce and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in utilityof the Premises caused by such Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any compensation paid by the condemnor for Lessee's relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill andlor Trade Fixtures, withoutregard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisionsof this Paragraph.

THERETO AND HEREBYWAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURESTATUTE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH STATUTE IS INCONSISTENT WITHTHIS LEASE.
25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship. (a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:
(i) ”
" Lessois"AgéiI't. A Ee’sscT"s"a'ge'ntunder a listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor‘s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: To the Lessor: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings withthe Lessor. To the Lessee and the Lessor: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of. the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmativeduties set forth above. (ii) Lessee's Agent. An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In these situations, the agent is not the Lessor's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or In part from the Lessor. An agent acting only for a Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity. honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee and the Lessor: (a) Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duties. (b) A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. (c) A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmativeduties set forth above. (iii) Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and the Lessee in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the Lessee. In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Lessor and the Lessee: (a) A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. (b) Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated above in subparagraphs (i) or (II).In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessorwill accept rent in an amount less than that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willingto pay a higher rent than that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do notrelieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibilityto protect their own interests. Lessor and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction.
A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. Iflegal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. (b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any Default or Breach hereof by either Party. The Parties agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Lease may be brought against Broker more than one year after the , Start Date and that the liability (including court costs and attorneys‘ fees), of any Broker with respect to any such lawsuit and/or legal proceeding shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitationon each Broker's liabilityshall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willfulmisconduct of such Broker. (c) Lessor and Lessee agree to identity to Brokers as "Confidential" any communicationor informationgiven Brokersthat is considered by such Party to be confidential.
26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof beyond the expirationor termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base Rent shall be Increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the expirationor termination, Holdover Base Rent shall be calculated on monthly basis. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.
..m.m,.

27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.
28. Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement. Allprovisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as ifboth Parties had prepared it.
29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties, their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

Agenda Item Title
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Sertior for the Preparation of an Environmental Analysis and Compliance Documents Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Montaldo Apartments Housing Project Summary
The City requires an environmental consultant to perform review required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Montaldo Apartments Project. The proposed project requests Design Review, Lot Merger, Use Permit, and Demolition Review to demolish an existing single family residence and construct a 50-unit rental apartment complex at 19320 Sonoma Highway to be called the Montaldo Apartments (“Project”). The project site is approximately 2.15 acres and includes two parcels (APNs 127-202-006, -007) with access to Sonoma Highway. The property is bounded on the north by Olde Bowl Center commercial center, on the west by Sonoma Highway, to the east by single family residential off of Robinson Road, and to the south by single family residential and the Valley Oak multifamily residential development.
City staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) which was circulated directly to seven firms and posted publicly to the City website on March 9, 2023. The City received four proposals which were rated by City staff and two firms were selected for informal interviews. After informal interviews on the week of April 24th and discussion with the Project applicant, City staff selected the proposal submitted by Sertior, on the basis of the highly qualified and experienced project team and cost. Consultant work on the Project would be paid by the applicant pursuant to an executed cost recovery agreement and additional deposit funds will be sought from the applicant. The proposal is for $109,465 with two additional optional tasks in the amount of $13,017. The City would impose a 15 percent fee on top of the contract amount to cover the City’s expenses during environmental review.
Under this contract, Sertior would prepare a peer review of the Historic Resources Evaluation (HRE) and Initial Study (IS) to determine whether an Exemption, Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is necessary for the Project. If the peer review and IS identify potential substantial and unavoidable impacts, a focused EIR will be prepared relating to those impacts. The environmental compliance documents would be circulated for public review prior to any public hearings before the Planning Commission or City Council. If the EIR concludes that there are substantial and unavoidable impacts of the Project as proposed, the City Council will have the option of approving the proposed Project by making findings of overriding considerations, approving a Project alternative, or denying the Project.
In its letter certifying the 6th Cycle Housing Element on April 13, 2023, the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) notified the City that it is “monitoring the City’s processing of the DeNova Homes/Montaldo Apartments application” and that “discretionary decisions in relation to CEQA should not unduly constrain development.” Further, “HCD Agenda Item #7.4:
reminds the City that excessive CEQA review timeframes can delay project approval and pose a constraint to the development of housing.” Therefore, City staff is prepared to start work with Sertior immediately upon execution of the professional services agreement and pursue an aggressive and efficient schedule for completion of review within a year.
This professional services contract is before City Council for approval as it exceeds $25,000, in compliance with the City of Sonoma procurement policy.
Recommended Council Action
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Sertior for the Preparation of an Environmental Analysis and Compliance Documents Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the Montaldo Apartments Housing Project.
Alternative Actions
1) Request additional proposals and execute a contract with another environmental consulting firm; delay work.
2) Council discretion.
Financial Impact
Consultant costs shall be paid by the applicant (developer) pursuant to an executed cost recovery agreement signed on June 9, 2022. There would be no fiscal impact to the City.

19320 Sonoma Highway Montaldo Apartments Project
CEQA Compliance
3 Relevant Experience
Below are three projects on which Sertior has been recently serving as project manager and CEQA lead.
Project Objective
The Addendum to the 2013 certified EIR, for
the development of 315-unit multi-family
apartments on approximately 22.27-acre site,
was prepared pursuant to Section 15164,
which requires the lead agency to prepare an
addendum to a previously certified EIR if some
changes are necessary, but do not require the
preparation of a subsequent or supplemental
EIR.
Project Description
The project proposing the
development of 315-unit multi-family
apartments was resumed after the
City of Lafayette voters rejected an
alternative development of the site
with 44 single-family homes.
Sertior Role. Tasked by the City, with the preparation of an addendum to the EIR prepared in 2013, Sertior assisted in defining the needed technical studies to update the EIR analysis and to address specific concerns of the community. This included an analysis of potential wildfire impacts and the development of a worse-case evacuation scenario during a major emergency event. We also assisted in overseeing the preparation of a transportation analysis by another consultant. During the public hearings, Sertior presented the CEQA analysis and findings and assisted the City of Lafayette in addressing questions from the public.
Project Outcome
The addendum was discussed during five public hearings held in 2020. This included a joint hearing of the Planning Commission and Transportation and Circulation Commission, two hearings of the Planning Commission, and two City-Council hearings. The City Council held its second public hearing on the project on August 24, 2020. After nearly nine hours of presentations, public comments, and deliberations, the City Council found the CEQA document adequate and approved the project. In September 2020, a citizens group, sued the City in Contra Costa County Superior Court. At both the trial court and appellate court level, the adequacy of the CEQA analysis was upheld (as was the approval of the project under the Housing Accountability Act). In March 2023, the California Supreme Court denied review and the appellate decision is now final.

CEQA Compliance
4 Project Objective
The Updated Facilities Master Plan (FMP) is
intended to provide a framework for the
development of the main campus and 10
instructional centers of the City College of San
Francisco (CCSF). It is a long-range plan that
sets a unified direction for the next 10 years.
Project Description
The Updated FMP framework
encompasses modernized and efficient
space use through demolition or
decommission of certain aging
facilities, renovation of other existing
facilities, and construction of new facilities.
The EIR analysis identified significant impacts associated with historical resources and transportation.
The historical resources evaluation prepared as part of the environmental review identified two historical districts within the Main Campus. Impact analysis identified significant impacts associated with the demolition of two historical facilities. The analysis determined that even with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, such as recordation and permanent interpretive display, project-specific impacts on historical resources would be significant and unavoidable.
Transportation analysis found that the FMP would result in adverse impacts related to transit delay.
Identified mitigation measure to reduce this impact included a performance standard that requires implementation of a travel demand management (TDM) plan as soon as student enrollment levels reach the baseline enrollment levels analyzed in the EIR. However, the EIR determined that even with implementation of the mitigation measure, the project-related impacts associated with transit delay would remain significant and unavoidable.
Sertior Role. Sertior served as the CEQA lead, managed the day-to-day project operations, provided oversight and review of the technical reports, and assisted CCSF during public hearings.
Project Outcome
The project was certified in June 2021.

5 Project Objective
The project would provide additional
housing, provide improved recreational
access to the Helen Putnam Regional Park,
and permanently preserve sensitive
biological and geological areas of the site as
protected open space.
Project Description
The revised EIR analyzed a reduced
residential development at the project site
from what was analyzed in the 2013 Draft EIR
(93-lot residential project) and in the 2017
Draft EIR (66/63-lot residential project). The
project residential component would develop
approximately 25 percent of the project site
(15 acres) with 28 single-family residences,
streets, and common open space. The remaining portion of the site would be developed as a park area to extend the existing Helen Putnam Regional Park. The revised EIR also provided an assessment of potential environmental impacts of the off-site Helen Putnam Regional Park Trail project, which was proposed by Sonoma County Regional Parks.
The revised EIR analysis determined that the project would result in significant unavoidable impacts associated with traffic and the increase in vehicle miles traveled. Other impacts, such as those related to aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, noise, utilities and service systems, and wildfire, were determined to be reduced to a less-thansignificant level with the implementation of mitigation measures.
Sertior Role. Sertior served as the CEQA lead, provided oversight and review of the technical reports, and coordinated the environmental review process with the City of Petaluma.
Project Outcome
On February 27, 2023, the City Council voted unanimously to certify the EIR.

11 Scope of Services
__________
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The applicant proposes to combine the two parcels located at 19320 Sonoma Highway into a 2.15-acre lot, demolish the existing single-family residential structure, and develop the Montaldo Apartments Project consisting of seven multifamily residential buildings containing 50 apartment units. On August 12, 2022, the City of Sonoma deemed the project submittal to be complete but subject to an environmental review pursuant to CEQA.
The project site is designated as “Housing Opportunity” in the Housing Element of the General Plan with 15 to 25 dwelling unit per acre. The maximum allowed density per the General Plan at the site would be
54.5 units. The site is designated as C-Commercial in the specific planning area of the West Napa/Sonoma Highway Corridor. Residential uses are permitted in the Commercial zoning district with approval of a Use Permit.
The front of the property is occupied by the single-family residential structure and a large valley oak. The remaining portion of the site is undeveloped. Commercial uses surround the site from the north and west. Residential uses are located to the east and south of the project site.
In addition to the valley oak located at the front of the property, the project proposes the preservation of other large oak trees located within the undeveloped portion of the site. The proposed project would include a total of 70 parking spaces for residents. Additional 24 parking spaces would be provided for guest parking.
Three options to connect to the sanitary sewer system are currently proposed. The first option would connect to an existing 8-inch sewer line within an existing easement to the east, the second option would connect to the existing (deep) sewer line within Sonoma Highway, and the third option would connect to a new easement within the parking lot of the adjacent commercial property to the north. The project would provide 23,218 square feet of total private and common open space, thereby exceeding the combined open space requirement of 15,000 square feet.
A Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) prepared for the project on July 31, 2021, concluded that the single-family residential structure (built in 1939) is individually elligible for listing on the Carlifornia Register for Historical Resources (CRHR) under Criterion 3 for its association with Ranch architecture with Spanish Colonial Revival design elements.
A Traffic Impact Study prepared on September 12, 2022, concluded that project impacts related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and safety would not be significant.
A Biological Technical Memorandum prepared on June 9, 2021, concluded that the project site has no sensitive habitats other than existing oak trees. The study reported no wetlands or other waters of the U.S. Additional surveys were recommended for three special-status species that the study determined have the potential to occur at the site. The study also recommended pre-construction surveys for nesting birds.

19320 Sonoma Highway Montaldo Apartments Project
CEQA Compliance
12 A Tree Inventory Report prepared on August 21, 2021, evaluated a total of 89 trees located at the project site and concluded that 49 of those trees would require removal to accommodate the proposed project. Identified native trees included coast live oak, black oak, and valley oak. Non-native trees included glossy privet, grecian laurel, flowering pear, fig, Chinese pistache, Japanese loquat, xylosma, plum, and edible pear.
Other studies prepared for the proposed project included a Geological and Geotechnical Engineering Assessment.
CEQA APPROACH
Our proposed CEQA approach aligns with the requirements outlined in the RFP and involves a step-bystep process to help the City of Sonoma determine and execute the most appropriate CEQA path. The first two steps, outlined below, are designed to identify the appropriate level of CEQA analysis required for the proposed project, as well as to conduct the necessary preliminary analysis for preparing an ND/MND or an EIR, as later determined. The services covered by this scope involve review of the background documents to identify any data deficiencies that must be addressed in the CEQA analysis and the peer review of the HRE. Also in the preliminary planning phase, we are proposing an alternatives analysis that evaluates other project scenarios and examines appropriate CEQA paths for these scenarios. As optional tasks, we are providing the peer review of the Traffic Impact Analysis, as well as the survey of special-status plants identified in the Biological Technical Memorandum.
In the event that an EIR is determined to be the adequate CEQA path under Step 1 and Step 2 below, this scope assumes the preparation of a focused EIR under Step 3b to address potential impacts on historical resources. The remaining resource topics are assumed to be reviewed at the Initial Study level. Based on the findings of the peer review and analysis under Step 1 and 2, Sertior will provide a scope amendment in the event that other resource topics required analysis in the EIR.

13 SCOPE OF SERVICES AND DELIVERABLES
Our scope of services presented below reflects our proposed approach and is organized in three steps with the first step focused on refining the scope of services during the kickoff process, reviewing the background information, reviewing the HRE, and preparing an alternatives analysis that evaluates the potential impacts and appropriate level of CEQA analysis for each alternative. Optional reviews of the Traffic Impact Analysis and the survey of special-status plants are also presented under Step 1.
Description of our proposed project management throughout the environmental review process is presented under Step 1. However, estimated project management fee is included under Step 3 as it varies between Step 3a (ND/MND) and Step 3b (EIR). Step 2 is focused on preparing the Initial Study and confirming the CEQA path. In addition to supporting the determination of the level of CEQA review, the analysis prepared during those two steps would either serve in the Step 3a (Initial Study ND/MND), or will be part of the Notice of Preparation of the focused EIR (Step 3b).
STEP 1 – Preliminary CEQA Analysis
Task 1: Project Management
Subtask 1a: Project Initiation. We will coordinate with the City of Sonoma the approach for the CEQA environmental review and will attend an in-person or video-conference kick-off meeting to solidify the understanding of the project’s components and of major issues related to the environmental review.
The purpose of the kick-off meeting also will be to review roles and responsibilities; discuss protocols for communications, site visits, and access; and agree on key milestones for the project schedule.
Following the kick-off meeting, we will provide the City with a refined scope of work describing the tasks to be performed, deliverables, and schedule.
Subtask 1b: Ongoing Coordination and Project Management. We will attend bi-weekly project team meetings with the City of Sonoma, in addition to the kick-off meeting described above.
