6.C. - Page 29 of 34 8.2 Draft Subsequent Program EIR The consultant will develop a program -level Administrative Draft EIR that considers all aspects of General Plan and Zoning Ordinance implementation. Environmental topic areas and potential CEQA-defined impacts will be aligned with potential policies, implementation programs, and other components of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, where applicable. The EIR will include all CEQA-required components, including baseline/existing conditions, project description, cumulative impacts, growth -inducing impacts, and project alternatives. The CEQA- required executive summary will also be included, along with a summary table of impacts and mitigation measures. Where necessary to address potentially significant impacts, practical, implementable, and enforceable mitigation measures will be developed. Under this task, the following technical reports necessary to support the Draft EIR will also be prepared. Air Quality Analysis The consultant will prepare a clear and concise air quality analysis an associated EIR chapter that fully evaluates the proposed project's potential air quality impacts using the CEQA Checklist questions contained in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The air quality analysis will evaluate emissions from typical facility operation (e.g., buildings) in the city, as well as those generated by mobile sources (e.g., cars and trucks). The consultant will estimate potential project emissions using Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)/CARB/U.S. EPA -approved guidance and methodologies for air quality impact analyses. All supporting and technical data used to prepare the EIR's air quality impact analyses will be compiled in an appendix to the EIR. This task includes budget for up to six CalEEMod runs. Energy Demand Analysis The energy demand analysis will include the energy setting information (environmental and regulatory), quantify potential construction and operational energy usage, and will evaluate whether the project will result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources. The analysis will document the effect of energy saving General Plan policies related to site and building design, proximity to regional transit, and vehicle trip reduction and vehicle miles travelled (VMT) reductions included in the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and will be closely coordinated with the EIR's air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) impact analyses. Greenhouse Gas Analysis The consultant will prepare a clear and concise GHG analysis and associated EIR chapter that fully evaluate the proposed project's potential GHG and energy impacts; the consultant will use the CEQA Checklist questions contained in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The consultant will quantify the increase in GHG emissions generated by the construction and operation of the projects facilitated by the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance using the same methodologies employed to prepare the air quality chapter. Applicable GHG reduction measures from the General Plan, as well as changes in land use, would be included in the emissions profile, and the resulting GHG emissions estimates would be compared to CEQA significance thresholds maintained by the BAAQMD. Consultant's scope and budget account for time to consult with Fehr & Peers on VMT and includes evaluation of the City's Climate Action Plan (CAP). The consultant will prepare up to four energy consumption spreadsheets as part of this subtask. REV: 01-11-2021 PR ATTY/AGR.2020.086/MIG (Moore, lacofano Goltsman, Inc.) (Page 25 of 30) 128
