Upon receipt of HCO's review letter, we will work with staff to draft changes to the Housing Element to respond to HCO concerns. All proposed changes to the Housing Element will be prepared in underline/strikeout format. Typically, two reviews by HCO are required (each of which may take up to 60 days) to achieve certification. Our budget includes an allowance for consultation/negotiation with HCO staff. Any time required beyond this allowance to address HCO's comments and concerns will be billed on a reimbursable basis with prior authorization from the City. In some cases, HCO may require changes to the Housing Element that are not consistent with local policy direction and thus HCDcertification cannot be achieved. In that event, we can assist the City in preparing written findings to be included in the resolution of adoption to provide the reasons justifying how the Housing Element substantially complies with the requirements of state law. Such services will be provided at an additional cost. 9.2 CommisslonStudy$essions We understand that there are some seven City Commissions that will review all or part of the General Plan prior to the initiation public hearings. As such, we propose to convene four 2-hour study sessions for the various commissioners to attend. The four study session topics could be: 1) Land Use/Design/Circulation Element, Economic Development, and Housing Element 2) Parks and Recreation Element .and Natural Resources Element 3) Cultural Resources Element and Human Needs Element 4) Infrastructure Element and Public Safety Element We will provide a hard copy and an electronic file of all study session materials for the City to reproduce and distribute to the commissioners. In addition, the City staff would be responsible for study session facilities and logistics. 9.3 Planning Commission - Public Hearings (allowance) Laura Stetson, Lisa Brownfield, Phyllis Potter, Sohrab Rashid, Dena Belzer, and/or other key team members will be available to attend Planning Commission hearings to present the Draft General Plan and OElR and to respond to public and Commission comments and questions.
