6. / E - "ez; Cultural Resources The cultural resources section will be based on existing data available at the City of Redwood City. This would include the General Plan and General Plan EIR, the geotechnical study prepared for the site (based on the soil type), and any other available data. The site is currenUy developed and is unlikely to contain artifacts. A full analysis will be presented in the EIR. Should there be a probability of cultural resources at the site, appropriate mitigation would be included. Biological Resources At the City's request, we have included biological resources in our scope. Based on the fact that the existing site is developed and neighboring parcels are disturbed, the potential for encountering biological resources is minimal. DEA will provide a general evaluation of the site and determination of any potential impacts to sensitive species. Additionally, there is a potential to impact existing trees on-site. DEA will include a summarization (based on a report prepared by the applicants consultant) of the report and include any required mitigation measures. Population and Housing This section of the EIR will evaluate the potential increases in population and resulting need for housing as a result of the proposed project. The analysis- will include any potential mitigation, measures as they relate to housing needs, including affordable housing. Public Services and Utilities DEA will evaluate the project's impacts to public services, including Sewer and Water, Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Service, Solid Waste Disposal, and' Gas and Electricity. The project's demands on public services and utilities and the potential impact, as measured by the City's standards for service and thresholds, will be evaluated, Other facilities, such as transportation and drainage facilities, which have been addressed in other sections of the EIR, will be appropriate!y referenced. Should additional issues be identified during the Notice of Preparation (NOP) or public review process, these issues shall be incorporated into the EIR. An amendment to our Scope of Work and Budget may be necessary if significant changes to the anticipated scope of the EIR Occur or if new issues requiring substantial evaluation or analysis beyond what is assumed in this proposal. In addition to the project description and environmental analysis by issue area, as required by CEQA, the EIR will include a discussion of Cumulative Effects, Effects Not Found to be Significant, Mandatory CEQA Summary Section, Growth Inducing Effects, and Alternatives to the Proposed Project. Task 2.2 - Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Since January 1,1989, lead agencies have been required by AB 3180 (PRC 21081.6) to provide monitoring and reporting to ensure implementation of mitigation measures required as part of specific project approvals. Staff at DEA is experienced in preparing Atty/Agr/2005,024 062105 18
