Page 2 <br />Issue Details <br />Project <br />Due to changes to both the program and project descriptions, substantial revisions to the <br />Initiation and <br />existing descriptions had to be made. The removal of floor -area -ratios as the limiting factor for <br />Organization — <br />the Overlay Zone, as well as the potential roadways, needed to be reflected in the description of <br />Background <br />the overlay zone. In addition, the number of units and overall design of the NDC project had <br />Data and <br />changed since the original project descriptions were drafted. <br />Project <br />Description <br />Project <br />Due to changes to both the program and project descriptions, revisions to the existing <br />Initiation and <br />alternatives were made. <br />Organization — <br />Project <br />Alternatives <br />Project <br />The approach to the ordinance for the overlay zone has been altered since the original scope was <br />Initiation and <br />prepared for this project. Per new direction from the City, it is desirable to incorporate a more <br />Organization — <br />fortn-based approach than previously drafted. Transitioning to a form -based approach required <br />Establish the <br />a substantial amount of additional technical graphic work as well as additional meetings with <br />Framework <br />staff to maintain a common understanding regarding the direction of the work effort. <br />and Prepare <br />the <br />Recommended <br />Mixed Use <br />Overly Zone <br />Initial Study <br />Due to revisions to both the program and project descriptions, it was determined that <br />and Notice of <br />recirculation and revision of the IS/NOP was required. <br />Pre aration <br />Prepare <br />Per a request from the City, the preparation of the EIR was accelerated. In order to meet the <br />Administrative <br />accelerated schedule, additional work was necessary and included, but was not limited to, <br />Draft EIR— <br />meetings with agencies (e.g. Tustin) and informational repositories to procure information in <br />Accelerated <br />advance of their desired schedule; additional coordination between City staff and EIP; and <br />Schedule <br />additional consistency checks. In addition, due to the changes outlined above to the general <br />Additional <br />approach of the Overlay Zone, small but necessary modifications to the environmental analyses <br />Work <br />that had already been completed were necessary. <br />Prepare <br />Per a request from the Orange County Sanitation District during the first NOP public review <br />Administrative <br />period, a sewer hydraulic study was prepared and reflected in the Draft EIR. <br />Draft EIR — <br />Utilities and <br />Service <br />S stems <br />Project <br />The EIR project schedule, in its current and final accelerated state, extends significantly beyond <br />Management <br />the timeline originally planned (primarily due to delays resulting from the withdrawal of Shea <br />Homes, necessary modifications to the NDC project design, and modifications to the overlay <br />zone). The schedule delay has resulted in EIP project management labor hours significantly in <br />excess of those originally budgeted. In addition, due to EIP's increased involvement during the <br />planning of the overlay zone as requested by the City, additional coordination and meetings <br />between EIP, City, and applicant staff, have increased costs beyond those originally budgeted. <br />Direct Cost <br />EIP recirculated the IS/NOP for public review from September 5, 2006 to October 4, 2006. <br />Budget Needed <br />The original scope and - budget assumed production of only one IS/NOP. However, the <br />to Complete <br />aforementioned changes to the project, both in schedule and in scope, have resulted in the need <br />EIR <br />for recirculation and modification of the IS/NOP. <br />Page 2 <br />
