DISCUSSION In 2010 the City, with the assistance of a successful grant award from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and consultation from Place Works, kicked off the Harbor Corridor Specific Plan study. The scope included analysis of the existing zoning, land use and transit. The scope also included extensive outreach to the community through a series of workshops, fairs and neighborhood meetings. Due to the potential for significant environmental impacts, an environmental impact report (EIR) was required for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. A Request for Proposal was circulated to qualified environmental firms in 2010 as a part of the Harbor Corridor Specific Plan project. In 2010, City Council approved an agreement with Place Works for $152,1$4 for contracted environmental review for the Harbor Corridor Specific Plan. Recently, during the Draft EIR review period, comments were received from the Orange County Sanitation District requesting further analysis of the sewer trunk lines. In addition, it was necessary to include a Water Supply Assessment in compliance with SB 610 (Senate Bill 610) requiring water assessment in conjunction with the Draft EIR. The proposed amendment to the existing agreement will include the preparation and analysis of the sewer trunk lines to address the comments of the Orange County Sanitation District and the Water Supply Assessment. As a result, staff is requesting that an amendment to the agreement be executed with Place Works in an amount not to exceed $9,950. This agreement will remain in effect until completion of the EIR. 25B -1 Amend an Agreement with Place Works July 15, 2014 Page 2 Environmental Impact The awarding of a contract for preparation of an environmental impact report and zoning amendment is statutorily exempt from CEQA.
