Page 7 Pedro Guillen March 8, 2007 winter seasons. Shade -sensitive receptors, generally residential uses, that would be affected by the shadow will be identified, and the impacts of the cast shadow will be described in text. Analysis of Airport and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Requirements The project will be reviewed with respect to Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 77, Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace and the County Airport Land Use Plan. With respect to Part 77 the assessment will indicate if the object is considered an obstruction under Part 77 and if it will be necessary to submit FAA Form 7460, Notice of Construction or Alteration. If it is found the submittal of Form 7460 is required, general information on the process and likely timelines will be provided. Task 2.0 Prepare Notice of Preparation/initial Study P&D will prepare a Notice of Preparation (NOP) in compliance with CEQA Guidelines using the City's standard form. The NOP will include a description of the Sky Lofts Project and a brief discussion of the impacts that may result. In addition, P&D will prepare an Initial Study (IS) to identify potential impacts and to inform public agencies and the general public as to the environmental parameters that will be evaluated in detail in the EIR. All questions marked on the IS Checklist will be explained in an attachment to the IS. During the IS development, the environmental parameters will be assessed for project impacts and the need for mitigation. If mitigation is contemplated, it will be identified in the IS and covered in the EIR. P&D will submit a Draft NOP/IS for review by City staff and will make required revisions before finalizing the NOP/IS. The NOP/IS will be sent to the State Clearinghouse, all responsible and trustee agencies, federal cooperating agencies, and other interested parties by certified mail. The NOP/IS will be fled with the County Clerk by P&D. An NOP/IS distribution list provided by City staff will be used. Comments received on the NOP/IS will be addressed in the EIR Task Deliverables • Prepare Draft NOP/IS for review and comment by City staff (electronic submittal). • Revise Draft NOPAS based on City comments and submit for final review and approval by City staff (electronic submittal). • Prepare Final NOP/IS, based on comments on the revised draft, for public distribution (one electronic copy and 30 hard copies). • Distribute 15 copies of the NOP/IS to the State Clearinghouse. • Distribute 15 copies of the NOP/IS as directed by the City. • File the NOP/IS with the County Clerk. Task 3.0 Public Scoping Meeting Although CEQA does not normally require scoping meetings, a scoping meeting was held for the City Place Project, and the City may want to hold a public scoping meeting for the Sky Lofts Project to gain input from residents in order to understand their concerns. Potential concerns of nearby residents related to the 29-story Sky Lofts Project may be different than concerns related to the original City Place Project. For this proposal, P&D has budgeted one scoping meeting, which we recommend be held during the NOPPS comment period. It is recommended that the scoping meeting be held during the NOP comment period, so residents have a chance to review the NOP/IS and then provide comments or concerns. P&D will assist the City in organizing the scoping meeting (public meeting notices, agendas, and other scoping meeting related materials). P&D will attend the scoping meeting, prepare a PowerPoint Presentation slideshow, and compile and summarize all contact information and comments.
