At this point, comments from tl process will also be received from the public necessitating slight adjustments in the Housinb Following receipt of comments from the Planning Commission and City Council at the public hearings, The Planning Center will prepare a final draft of the Housing Element suitable for public records. The final draft will include comments received during the public hearing, both on the Housing Element and environmental clearance, as directed by City staff. Upon completion, critical project files (including an editable copy of the Element and a PDF copy) will be provided to the City on CD. Deliverables • Draft Housing Element (7S copies) • Final Housing Element (100 copies) • Final Housing Element (unbound, camera ready) • Editable final copy in Word and PDF copy Task 4: Environmental Review 4A Initial Study/ND Based on the available strategies proposed above to meet housing reQuirements, it appears that the City can achieve their assigned RHNA allocation without amending the land use plan of the General Plan. Major land use or infrastructure improvements are not to be reQuired. Based on this preliminary conclusion, it appears that environmental impacts related to the Housing Element are not significant. Our proposed scope of work, therefore, is based on the assumption that an Initial Study will be prepared that supports a Negative Declaration (ND) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) If a more aggressive Housing Element is necessary to achieve the City's RHNA allocation, preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) may be reQuired. If this becomes necessary, a revised scope of work and contract amendment will be submitted to the City. Although each potential environmental impact as identified in the CEQA Appendix G checklist will be addressed in the Initial Study, the analysis will focus on air Quality, land use, noise, and population and housing.
