Exhibit A 2.2-Housing Sites Analysis The Housing Sites analysis will focus on site suitability for housing, drawing from sites identified in the 2009-2014 Housing Element. Consultant anticipates that many of these sites will continue to be available for this Housing Element; where new sites need to be identified due to recent development or other changes in circumstance, consultant will assess the areas in the City most likely to redevelop at density levels that can facilitate affordable housing; consultant will prepare appropriate GIS maps. Consultant will work closely with City staff to remove sites that have been developed and to understand priority development sites to be incorporated into the new sites inventory. 2.3-Supplement to 21 Elements Sections Pursuant to the City's MOU with 21 Elements team, 21 Elements will provide an update to the Needs Assessment, which will be pre-approved by HCD and consistent with other Needs Assessment Sections throughout the County. Consultant will augment the 21 Elements work to update items Redwood City included in the 2007-2014 Housing Element but not covered by the 21 Elements team. This work would include updating approximately 10 to 12 tables and figures and associated text from the prior Needs Assessment. The focus will be on gathering data on developmentally disabled persons accessing State-funded services in Redwood City and conducting the analysis to determine the market value and rent subsidies required to preserve units at risk of converting to market rate. Consultant will also add additional data to the Market Constraints section where this information is not provided by 21 Elements, including providing information on vacant land prices (as available) and a summary of loan applications in Redwood City.

The MOU with 21 Elements also indicates that the 21 Elements team will complete the Previous Accomplishments Section (called "Review and Revise" under the 21 Elements MOU). Consultant has included an additional four hours to augment this work as necessary.
