RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file the Request for Proposal Scope of Work for environmental services for a new
single family residential subdivision at 1584 East Santa Clara Avenue.
DISCUSSION
Planning Division staff has received an application for the construction of a new 24-unit single
family residential subdivision on a five acre parcel of land located at 1584 East Santa Clara
Avenue. This project was initially submitted in 2007 by Empire Homes, who was in the process of
completing an environmental impact report (EIR) before withdrawing the project over a year ago.
The proposal by Tava Development, the current applicant, will be similar to the Empire Homes
project. After reviewing the Tava Development proposal, it was determined that an EIR would still
be required to meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. A Request for
Proposal for environmental services was initially prepared for this project. The Scope of Work is
attached as Exhibit 1. The recommended contract will be submitted for future consideration by the
City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this request.

Request for Proposal for 24-Unit Single-Family Residential Development
Located at 1584 E. Santa Clara Avenue, Santa Ana, CA
Scope of Work
The City of Santa Ana is soliciting proposals from professional consulting firms for preparation of an
Initial Study and Focused Environmental Impact Report with supporting studies for a single family
residential project located at 1584 East Santa Clara Avenue in the City of Santa Ana.
The property is located within the Single Family Residential (R-1) zoning district and has a General Plan
designation of Low Density Residential (LR). The project proposes a vesting tentative tract map to
subdivide a 4.8 acre site into 24 parcels and the development of 24 single family residences ranging in
size from 2,460 to 2,760 square feet. The property is currently developed with an orange grove and single
family residence with detached garage.
Initial project analysis indicates that the Sexlinger family farmhouse and orange grove has been in
existence since roughly 1914 and appears to qualify as a Historic Resource under the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In addition, the City's Public Work's Agency has indicated that a
traffic study may also be required for the proposed project.
The selected firm shall prepare an Initial Study and focused Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the
project. Staff has identified the various steps necessary in the compilation of the focused EIR. These
steps include:
1. Initiation of the Project/Mck-Off
Attend a kick-off meeting to discuss the project with City staff within five working days of receiving
a notice to proceed. At this time staff will present all information about the project, discuss any
project constraints and issues, and refine the scope and responsibilities.
2. Prepare Administrative Draft Initial Study/Proposed focused EIR
The firm shall prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study/proposed EIR, which will include an
evaluation of the environmental resources contained in the City's CEQA Environmental Checklist.
The Initial Study shall include discussion of the existing conditions, impacts and magnitude of the
impacts, and the level of significance for each environmental discipline, as appropriate. Mitigation
measures shall be developed to reduce impacts to less than significant levels, where possible. This
scope includes preparation of detailed technical studies including:
a) Cultural Study
b) Traffic Study
c) Other studies deemed appropriate through the initial study
3. Prepare Mitigation Monitoring Plan
The firm shall prepare a Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) for the project to include all accepted
mitigation measures and indication of the mitigation measure, project time period to which the
measure applies and responsible party and method of monitoring.

directed by the City. In addition, the firm shall assume responsibility for posting the Notice of Intent
at the Orange County Clerk's office.
5. Respond to Comments and Prepare Final EIR
Following the public review period, the firm shall respond to agency and public comments. These
responses and comments will be incorporated into the document and the EIR will be finalized for
consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council. The firm shall file the Notice of
Determination with the County Clerk's office.
6. Attend Meetings
The project manager and technical staff will attend all necessary meetings to include public hearings
and project coordination meetings. There shall be one project manager who will coordinate with
other technical staff, as necessary.
7. Schedule
Prepare a schedule of completion for all technical studies and the Administrative Draft Initial
Study/EIR. In addition the proposal shall include a schedule for the entire process to include City
reviews and public review periods.
