The following technical studies will also be completed: Traffic Air Quality/GHG Noise Cultural Resources Hydrology, Water and Sewer Systems, and Utilities The air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis will evaluate potential citywide emission reductions from implementation of policies and circulation improvements. The analysis will be based on an estimate of future VMT provided by the traffic analysis with and without the proposed project and compared to existing condition. Since it is anticipated that air quality and GHG emissions will benefit by the implementation of the City's updated Circulation Element, no significant long-term impacts are anticipated. The noise analysis will address changes in the ambient noise from existing conditions and at the horizon year with and without implementation of the updated Circulation Element. Increases in traffic noise levels will be modeled using the FHA Highway Prediction Noise Model. Because implementation of the project would not generate trips, no significant impacts are anticipated. This proposal assumes that tribal consultations for the General Plan update in accordance with SB 18 will be conducted by the City. All CEQA notices will be forwarded to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) and The Planning Center will assist with the consultation on a time and materials basis if requested by the City. TASK 9: PREPARE UPDATED CIRCULATION ELEMENT Objective: To prepare an updated Circulation Element ready to be integrated into the General Plan, with policies, goals, and objectives that reflect the requirements of the Complete Streets Act and the ideas and projects identified in the circulation, transit, bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts completed in this project. Key Issues: The final Circulation Element must appropriately reflect the technical work efforts, planning process, community outreach efforts, and policy development 12 25A-22
