Section 2: Scope of Work (continued) DEA recommends that a community workshop or scoping meeting be held at this time with the neighborhoods in the project area, to solicit their concerns about the proposed Redevelopment Plan. Responsible and trustee agencies may also be invited to the workshop to solicit their concerns and to establish ways for future consultation. The issues raised during the community workshop will be given emphasis in the EIR. The City shall schedule the workshop and DEA will assist in conducting the meeting. This workshop may be held in coordination with the public participation component of the proposed Redevelopment Plan. Task 3: Environmental Impact Ang,lL The School and Community Facilities Redevelopment Plan EIR will be structured as a program EIR. It will addresses the impacts associated with the different projects proposed under the School and Community Facilities Redevelopment Plan. Thus, -it will be general in nature and will depend to the specificity of the information available on the different school and public improvements that may be financed by the Redevelopment Plan. The DEA project team will analyze the environmental impacts anticipated to result from the implementation of projects -under the proposed Redevelopment Plan. .The impacts analysis , will include both short-term effects (related to demolition, excavation and construction activities) and long term effects (anticipated after the individual projects are completed). Because of there will be a number of projects throughout the project area, the analysis will address city-wide ar area -wide impacts rather than parcel specific impacts. The EIR will address the issue areas identified in the preliminary environmental assessment, and other issues raised by comments to the NOP and during the community workshop. Each issue area will be discussed and analyzed according to the following sections: Environmental Setting -.This section will contain a description of .the. existing conditions, services, and facilities serving the project area. The environmental setting will serve as the baseline for the impact analysis and will describe conditions as they presently exist. ■ Environmental Impacts - This section will include an analysis of potential impacts associated with the construction, use and occupancy of projects under the proposed Redevelopment Plan. The analysis will assume a buildout scenario likely to occur with the implementation of all of the school projects anticipated to be financed under redevelopment. Thresholds of significance will be described, where applicable. The discussion will also identify any impact which would exceed established thresholds. City of Santa Ana Redevelopment Plan EIR 2-6
