6.113. - Page 19 of 41 Deliverables: Peer review memoranda for each of the technical studies indicating the adequacy of the study for use in the CEQA documents and identifying any additional information/analyses that may be necessary. Task 3: Initial Study (IS) and Notice of Preparation (NOP) Following approval of the Project Description under Task 1, AECOM will prepare a Draft IS for review by the City, and will then incorporate City comments into a Final IS. The document will be prepared pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, particularly Appendices G and F. All 17 required environmental factors identified in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, as modified by the City, will be evaluated in the IS. Each factor will contain a brief setting discussion to provide context and background for the following impact analysis, which will respond to the Appendix G checklist questions. Substantial evidence will be provided to support significance conclusions in the IS. The City's EI Camino Corridor Plan, the General Plan, the Downtown Precise Plan, site visits, other relevant EIRs, and local and regional databases and inventories will be used to support the analyses in the IS. In conjunction with the Final IS, an NOP will be prepared. AECOM will respond to one round of consolidated City and applicant comments on the draft IS. Up to 15 color and black and white graphics will be prepared and incorporated into the IS and will primarily present the project location and describe the project— site plan, building elevations and massing, on- and off-site circulation and utility improvements, and landscaping concepts. Other figures will identify the applicable General Plan land use designations and zoning districts, illustrate the surrounding visual setting (photographic documentation), and location of noise measurements from the applicant's noise study.
