Population/Housing Consultant will complete the following tasks: • Discuss qualitatively the indirect housing effect resulting from the project and in the context of Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) regional household forecasts and fair share housing allocations and discuss whether the City can accommodate the demand. • Estimate the indirect employment growth in the region from the "multiplier effect" due to increased employment, using ABAG's regional input-output factors. Public Services Based on information received from various service providers, Consultant will conduct the following tasks: • As necessary, conduct phone/email interviews with the City's police, fire, and park and recreation departments, the school district, and the library to determine current service levels and capacity to serve increased demand. • Estimate project-generated demand for public services based on existing operational standards obtained from the service providers. Other measures of demand will also be considered, such as the projected increase in the calls for service and the projected demand of recreational facilities and library services. • In accordance with CEQA, evaluate the extent to which project demands would trigger the need for new public facilities whose construction might result in physical environmental effects. Transportation/Traffic Consultant will work with Hexagon Transportation Consultants ("Sub-Consultant") to prepare a transportation impact analysis (TIA) for the project, which will be incorporated into the Initial Study. Sub-Consultant will analyze up to five intersections in the traffic study. The purpose of the study is to determine the traffic impacts of the proposed development on key intersections in the vicinity of the site during weekday AM and PM peak commute hours. Analysis of additional study intersections, if required, will require authorization and additional budget. The TIA will be prepared consistent with the City of Redwood City and San Mateo County Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements and will obtain information from the recently-prepared Stanford EIR. The subtasks to be included in the TIA for the project are as follows: • S�b�ask 1. Site Reconnaissance and Existing Observations Physical characteristics of the study area and the surrounding roadway network will be updated to identify existing roadway cross sections, intersection lane configurations, traffic control devices, and surrounding land uses. Existing traffic conditions will be observed in the field during the peak periods of traffic in order to identify any operational deficiencies and to confirm the accuracy of calculated levels of service.
