EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Upon receiving individual projects, Consultant shall not proceed until authorized by the Planning Manager. Task 1. Review Project Aqplication and Plans To orient Consultant to the individual project proposal, Consultant will review the project application and locate the individual project within the Downtown Precise Plan (DTPP) area. Consultant will review any environmental studies (e.g., biological report, geotechnical report) submitted as part of the application to decide if the studies address and/or mitigate impacts identified in the DTPP EIR. Consultant will also note if the project application materials are missing any details that will be needed to determine potential environmental impacts. Consultant will consult with staff regarding any substantial change in the existing environment not already anticipated in the DTPP EIR (e.g., General Plan Amendment not anticipated in the new General Plan) and decide if the change could result in a new significant environmental effect or a substantial increase in a previously identified environmental effect. Product: Memo describing any missing project details and any substantial change in the existing environment Task 2. Evaluate Potential Environmental Impacts of Proposed Proiect Against DTPP EIR and Mitiaation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) Based on the project application materials, Consultant will prepare a draft CEQA Environmental Checklist Form/Initial Study (CEQA Appendix G). In the interest of time and efficiency, Consultant will focus on the environmental topic area questions (biological resources, cultural resources, public services, etc.) and will not at the outset prepare the project description and background narrative requested by the Checklist Form. The draft Initial Study will: (1) identify the environmental impacts that could result from the proposed project (items I-XVII); (2) identify the DTTP EIR and MMRP mitigation measures that would mitigate the impacts (items I-XVII); (3) identify any new or more severe environmental impacts, if any, that could result from the proposed project (items I-XVII); (4) make the Mandatory Findings of Significance (item XVIII); and (5) make the Determination (as stated in the CEQA Checklist Form) if any additional CEQA documentation is required, and what that CEQA documentation would be. If the draft Initial Study concludes that an additional CEQA document would be required, the Initial Study can be used as the basis for that additional CEQA document.
