November 9, 2010 <br />Page 8 <br />TASK 5 DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/NOA <br />The Planning Center will incorporate City comments on the Screencheck Draft PEIR. The Planning Center will meet <br />with City staff (see Task 8) to discuss and resolve any major areas of concern or to clarify areas of misunderstanding, <br />etc. The Planning Center will prepare the Notice of Completion (NOC) for City approval and signature. We will also <br />prepare the Notice of Availability (NOA) for City approval for distribution by the City. <br />Deliverable(s): <br />- Draft PEIR (single-sided reproducible Draft PEIR, 1 CD copy in MS Word) <br />TASK 6 FINAL PEIR <br />The Final PEIR will be prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15089 and will contain the final response <br />to comments received on the Draft PEIR. The Final PEIR must reflect the lead agency's independent judgment and <br />analysis and is presented to the Santa Ana City Council for consideration and approval. Following receipt of all <br />comments on the Draft PEIR, written responses will be prepared for each comment. A Response to Comments section <br />will be created for the Final PEIR and will contain an introduction describing the public review process for the Draft <br />PEIR, copies of all comment letters and minutes from public meetings where oral comments were taken, and written <br />responses to all comments. Responses will focus on comments that address the adequacy of the Draft PEIR. <br />Comments that do not address EIR adequacy will be noted as such and no further response will be provided unless <br />deemed necessary by the City. Responses will be prepared by The Planning Center with input from our technical <br />specialists, as needed. The Final PEIR will also include any revisions, updates, or corrections needed to respond to <br />comments or address minor errors in the Draft PEIR. <br />The estimated budget assumes that no additional basic research will be required to respond to comments, that the <br />comments will be directed at the substance and technical adequacy of the EIR, and that the comments will be <br />compiled by the City and transmitted in writing to the consultant. Modification to the scope of work, budget, and <br />time frame may be necessary if comments received from agencies or the general public require substantially increasing <br />the scope of impacts and issues addressed in the EIR. Responses to Comments from responsible agencies will be <br />provided to the City so that the City can distribute those comments a minimum of 10 days prior to consideration of <br />the Final PEIR by the Santa Ana City Council. <br />Deliverables: <br />- Screencheck Final PEIR (5 review hard copies per screencheck) <br />- Final PEIR (single-sided reproducible Final PEIR, 1 CD copy in MS Word) <br />TASK 7 FINDINGS OF FACT AND SOC, MMP, AND NOD <br />In addition, The Planning Center will prepare the Mitigation Monitoring Program, the Findings of Fact, a Statement of <br />Overriding Considerations (if required), and the Notice of Determination (NOD).
