BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi initiated an update of its Sphere of Influence (SOI) and Municipal Services Review (MSR) in early 2021. As part of this effort the City issued a request for proposals seeking qualified consultants to assist with preparing an environmental review of the proposed SOI and MSR updates and to provide additional technical services related to these efforts. The firm PlaceWorks was selected to provide these services and on April 21, 2021 the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks for these services. The start of PlaceWorks' efforts were delayed to allow the City to consider appropriate boundaries for the Sphere of Influence update. In early 2022, the City revised its approach to complete the MSR and SOI updates through the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) ahead of certain anticipated General Plan amendments. The MSR and SOI amendments were approved by LAFCo in October 2022, and Staff has refocused on the General Plan amendments and the EIR that PlaceWorks will prepare. The City Council considered and approved an extension to the term of the PlaceWorks contract (Amendment No. 1) on April 6, 2022. That action extended the term of the PlaceWorks agreement through March 31, 2023. The proposed Amendment No. 2 would extend the term of the PlaceWorks agreement through June 30, 2024. This amendment is limited to the term of service and no change to PlaceWorks' approved scope of work or budget are proposed. FISCAL IMPACT: Not Applicable FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Ap " ble John R.

Pine Street Lodi, California 95240 Re: Proposal to Provide Consultant Services for Environmental Review and Technical Services Associated with Sphere of Influence Update Dear John: Please accept the attached submittal as Place Works' proposal to provide Consultant Services for Environmental Review and Technical Services Associated with Sphere of Influence (SOI) Update for the City of Lodi. We understand that the City s SOI is currently considered out of date by the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) and that an update is necessary at this time. We will work with City staff to identify the specific areas of expansion, and we will do so cost-effectively. Our eam of environmental planners is experienced in this sort of work and will help develop creative solutions so as to manage this update both efficiently and effectively. Place Works is one of the West's preeminent planning and design firms, with approximately 130 employees In seven offices throughout California. Formerly known as The Planning Center DC&E, PlaceWorki history dates back over 45 years. Serving both public- and private -sector clients throughout the state, PlaceWorks provides comprehensive planning, environmental review, urban design, landscape architecture, community outreach, and Geographic Information Systems IGIS) services. Our talented multidisciplinary team thrives on working with communities to tackle complex problems and develop workable solutions. To complement our in-house services, we are partnering with Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants to assist with VMT Standards and Implementation and Circulation Analysis. We believe this team of professionals Is well suited to assist City staff with this project. Place Works is all about places and how they work geographically, environmentally, functionally, aesthetically, and culturally. We are also passionate about how we work with our clients. Place Works brings together people from diverse practice areas, offering best -of -all -worlds capability and connectivity lust as each place we work is distinctly different, so is our thinking. Please do not hesitate to contact me If you need more information. The Place Works team looks forward to working with you on this interesting and challenging project. Smcerety, PLACEWORKS Mark 6 AP Principal $PXEEECP MftwYOP A, 1,.rxnIt,,_~ MOO t Ci a Lc:d B: SCOPE OF WORK APPROACH Based on our understanding of the Request for Proposals, we have developed a scope and budget to prepare a Subsequent EIR (SEIR) to the General Plan EIR to support the proposed Sphere of Influence (SOI) Update. The General Plan EIR considered the physical environmental effects of development within the footprint of the City's Planning Area. The footprint related effects due to a change of land use from one development type to another would not differ from those disclosed In the General Plan EIR. Therefore, these topics can be addressed in an Effects Found to Not Be Significant chapter of the EIR, with the focus of the other sections of the EIR on those effects related to the change in development Intensity or land use on the subject parcels. The following table shows our assumptions on the contents of the SEM. As can he seen, we believe many of the General Plan EIR sections will remain adequate for the project with no substantive changes. Those sections of the certified EIA affected by the proposed SOI amendment would require a revised analysis and would be included in the SEI R. Note that the table Is based on our current understanding of the project and may be refined during preparation of the project description and conclusions of the technical studies.

Scope of Wah sp,i,- pint..., alnuE EYV......mu.'ri, "."u harks Ger or Lou SCOPE OF WORK Task 1. Project Initiation and Notice of Preparation As part of the kickoff meeting, PlaceWorks will review the project information, previous documents, and go over the goals of the project with City staff. As the San Joaquin County LAFCcr will be a responsible agency, we will review any specific EIR contents they require. At the meeting, we will review the schedule, Identify contact and review procedures, and tour the site. The administrative draft of the Notice of Preparation (NOP) will explain the Supplemental EIR process, noting that only a portion of the previously certified EIR will be modified and circulated for review. Place Works will draft the NOD for public review and prepare the document for circulation. Placellorks will prepare drafts of requisite filing forms and submit copies to the State Clearinghouse. This scope assumes the City will file the Notice of Preparation with the County Clerk and will publish the notice in the local paper, starting the 30 -day public comment period for the NOD. A publicscoping meeting should be held approximately twoweeks intothe 30 -day publiacomment period to allow public agencies and the public to provide input on the scope of the EIR analysis. Our scope assumes a virtual scoping meeting. PlaceWorks will provide a PowerPoint in support of the meeting and will attend to explain the CEQA process and the scope of the SEIR. This scope assumes the City will schedule the meeting. This Is also the appropriate time to mitiate tribal consultation. IN aceWorks will complete the State -mandated notkmg to Native American tribes pursuant to SS 18 and AB 52, We will contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) by letter to de crtbe the project The letter will request that the NAHC review their Sacred lands file for information on traditional or cultural lands within the project area and vicinity, and will include a request for a listing of local Native American representatives. We will then prepare a basic letter for each tribe to be mailed out on City letterhead. This letter will describe the project and indicate how tribal representatives can request consultation with the City if they so desire. If the tribes do request consultation, City naff will be responsible for arrangmg and PlaceWorks staff will accompany City at meetings that are required. Task 2. Technical Studies and Adnidnistraflve Drag SEIR PlaceWorks will prepare the air quality, greenhouse gas, and noise analyses based on the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Fehr & Peers. This scope assumes that the TIA will be provided by the City and will be reviewed by Cby's traffic engineer prior to Its use in the SEIR. PlaceWorks will also review the transportation analysis from an SEIR perspective and provide comments to the City if additional analysis or revisions are required to adequately address transportation impacts in the SEIR. At the request of the City. PlaceWorks will also review readily available information leg, California Natural Diversity Database) regarding the presence of protected species in the SOI area. H it is determined that protected species not addressed in the General Plan EIR are Identified. PlaceWorks will include mitigation measures to address potential impacts to those species, Air Quality/ Greenhouse Gos/ Enerov PlaceWorks will prepare an air quality and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the SEIR. Impacts of the Proposed Project will be compared to the land uses documented in the certified EIR. The analysis will be based on the current methodology of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control Districts (SIVAPCD) Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality impacts (GAMAQI) for projects in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAS). Modeling will be conducted using the latest California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). The results of the technical modeling will be compiled into the SEIR chapter. Model outputs will be included as an appendix Lxrx orie•iureci yro.m ExunOnarn.., t.ri..nrcx,.cu SI -111 9.scoosawarx now 3 Place Works will prepare an updated crrterla air pollutant and GHG emissions forecast that isolates emissions for the 501 amendment area for the Approved Project and the Proposed Project to identify the potential increase in air quality and GHG em issiom generated by the proposed land use changes in the SOI. Modeling will be based on the land use statistics associated with the Approved Project and Proposed Project in the 501 amendment area. Transportation emissions will be based on the increase in daily trips and VMT provided by Fehr & Peers. Construction emiuions will be handled qualitatively due to the programmatic nature of the project. The net increase in emissions for the Plan Area will be compared to the s vAPCD thresholds and Impacts identified in the Certified DR. The SEIR will incorporate mitigation measures from the certified OR, and modify, as needed, to address potentially significant impacts. The air quality analysis will also document requirements for future projects under SIVACPD's Indirect Source Review 9510. Potential lowllzed air quality impacts from construction activities associated with Implementation of the land use plan will be described qualitatively and mitigation measures from the certified EIR will be incorporated, and modified, as needed, to ensure that future development In the SOI amendment area would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The SJVAE is currently designated nonattainment under the National and/or California ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for ozone (O,), coarse inhalable particulate matter (PMw) (California AAQS only), and fine Inhalable particulate matter (PIVI SIVAPCD has adopted several air quality management plans ensure the SJVAB can attain the long-term National and California AAC15. The study will include a consistency evaluation of the project's regional emissions to goals of the ozone attainment plans adopted by SJVAPCD. The SJVAB is designated in attainment for carbon monoxide (CO) under both the California and National AAQS. Therefore, the air quality analysis will Include only a qualitative assessment of CO holspots. In addition, the study will include a qualitative assessment of potential odor generators to describe potential odor impacts and where they are likely to occur. The GHG analysis will discuss the GHG reduction goals of Senate Bill 32 (58 32), Executive Orders 5-03-05 and B-55-18, and 58 375. To achieve the GHG reduction targets of 5832, the Caifforma Air Resources Board (CARE) adopted the 2017 Scoping Plan Update. In addition, the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) adopted their 2018 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to ensure that San Joaquin County can attain the regional vansportetion- related GHG reduction goals of 56 375.. We will review the project for consistency with statewide GHG emissions reduction strategies (CARE Scoping Plan) and consistency with the PTP/SCS for the SJCOG region. Nolle Place Works will evaluate potential noise and vibration impacts for the construction and operational phases of the proposed 501 update. We will use our experience and knowledge of similar noise environments to characterize the existing conditions for the project area, with particular attention being paid to the traffic volumes. Ambient conditions will be evaluated via the traffic nurse analysis and previous horse reports, ambient noise monitoring is not proposed. Place Works will model approved project baseline and 501 Update buildout traffic noise levels using a version of the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Prediction Model and valume, vehicle mix, and other traffic data provided by Fehr & Peers. The SEIR will identify areas along highway and roadway segments that would be exposed to noise levels above established criteria. Noise impacts from non -transportation sources will be evaluated an a programmatic level, qualitatively based on local noise standards. Place Works will analyze noise impacts from nom transportation sources, such as major commercial and industrial uses, in terms of potential impacts to nearby noise -sensitive receptors and the noise limrtatdns Identified within the City's Municipal Code. PlareWorks will provide a qualitative analysis for potential construction Impacts associated with buildout of the 501 amendment. Future noise and vibration effects from construction activities will be discussed in terms of accepted standards from the City and the U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA). 4 ons BScope or work SwnealxxaawgepwaaBmaexmau hwnlirciwxxiaasx:Ls cr, ar L. Potential noise and vibration impacts will be evaluated according to applicable Lod[ noise and vibration criteria included in the Cij General Plan and Municipal Code. Impacts and irrigation measures from the certified EIR will be reviewed and applicable mitigation measures will be identified, as necessary, to reduce potential Impacts. The findings of the noise and vibration analysis will be provided in the SEIR documentation. Pertinent calculations and technical Information will be provlded in an appendix. PlaceWorks will prepare the document for review In separate chapters with graphics, as appropriate. To the maximum extent practicable, the analysis will rely upon the certified EIR and supplement only where the proposed land use changes would require updates to the analysis or to modify the conclusion in the General Plan EIR. At the end of staff review, we will discuss the comments with staff and outline changes to the document. Alternatives The SEIR will analyze up to three alternatives (including a No Project Altemative) that are developed based on any significant Impacts Identified as part of the technical analyses. The basis for selecting each alternative will be provided but will be focused on reducing identified significant impacts. Based upon input from the Cay, a discussion of alternatives that were considered but eliminated or evaluated with a lesser level of analysis will also be included. The altematives analysis will be qualitative: Impacts of project alternatives will be compared to those of the Proposed project. Where Impacts of the alternatives and the proposed project are similar, the SEIR will briefly explain why the impacts would be similar, The SEIR will contain more detail in cases where Impacts would differ between the alternatives and the proposed project. The SEIR will also include a table that compares impacts of the proposed project with all the alternatives. CEOA-Reouirea Sections The SEIR will also include other CEM-rNu-red sections including growth -inducing Impacts, irreversible environmental effects, and a summary of significant and unavoidable impacts where those would differ from the certified General Plan EIR as a result of the Project. The cumulative analysis will include the major projects currently under development or planned in the City. Place Works will coordinate with City staff to update the assumpnons for the cumulative impact analysis to maintain consistency regarding the assumptions, methodologies, and findings for the cumulative analysis for other EIRs in the City. The SEIR will discuss the ways that the proposed project could foster effect and/or indirect economic or population growth or the construction of additional housing in the project vicinity and how that growth will, in turn, affect the surrounding environment. Conshtent with CEM Guidelines section 15126.2(c), the SEIR will evaluate the proposed project for impacts that would result in any significant irreversible environmental changes. The SEIR will include a summary of significant and unavoidable impacts identified and discussed in each of the technical sections of the Elk Tronsoortation Fehr & Peers will be conducting the traffic study for the proposed project under contract with Place Works. Fehr & Peers will provide the information necessary to complete the air quality, greenhouse gas, and noise modeling. It is assumed that Fehr & Peers will be coordinating with the City during preparation of the traffic analysis and PlaceWorks will also coordinate with Fehr & Peers to ensure that the analysis is complete for the purposes of the SEIR. The scope and budget for conduaing the traffic analysis Is attached to this proposal. Land Use Assumptions and Travel Demand Model Update jeer & Peers wit• work with the project team to determine and use assumptions that should be made far the 501 expansion area. These land uses and any planned roadway network improvements will be entered into the City's 2040 travel demand model for subsequent analysis of Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) antl local circulation network needs. The updated VMT analysis is technically rigorous because the amount and type of land use requires adjustments to internal-external (IX), external internal (XI), and internal-intemal (Il) trip production and attraction percentages. This is critical because external trips that leave Lodi (primarily for commute purposes) are often quite lengthy, generating significant amounts of VMT. As part of this task, Fehr & Peers will provide the following data to Place Works for their use as inputs to other parts of the EIR: leaneM knarect U..n lseneo..wo, krnr.Rrce,nc.r S. 9.

Fehr & Peers will also update the City's SB 743 Implementation Guidelines Report, which contains average VMT values and thresholds. This task includes various other calculations such as the change in total VMT within the ClW s SOI under base year, 2040 No Project, and 2040 Plus Project conditions. SOI Circulation Network Needs Assessment Fehr & Peers will analyze the capacity needs of major roadways that will serve future development in the 501. The analysis will determine capacity needs of up to eight study roadway segments in order to meet applicable General Plan level of service (LOS) requirements. This analysn will not be included In the EIR prepared for the SOI effort, but will instead be used for roadway sizing. As part of this task, Fehr & Peers will provide the following data to Place Works: List of study segments used in the traffic analysis to assess Potential impacts. i ADT segment volumes(both directions total)for all highway, major roadway and arterial segments In the traffic study area m MS Excel for the following scenarios: o Existing Conditions o Future gulldout i Daytime (7 AM - 7 PM)/Evening (7 PM-10PMUNIghtbme (10 PM - 7 AM) percentage splits on the above segments for existing and future timeframes. Speed limits, number or lanes, and roadway widths on study segments for existing and future timeframes. VMT Standards, Reduction Targets. and InnolementaRon Strategies Fehr & Peers will provide a technical discussion of how OPR's 15 percent VMT reduction target was established and how this may or may not be possible for the City to meet. Presuming the reduction target Is not met, the discussion will continue along the lines of how the 501 EIR may be used for the streamlining of projects consistent with land uses assumed an this EIR (per CEQA Guidelines Section 15183j. However, this guideline and CEOA mandates that projects still implement feasible mitigation measures to reduce significant impacts to the extent possible Therefore, a detailed discussion of feasible Transportation Demand Management (TOM) strategies, which will be the primary form of mitigation, will be pmvldetl. Transportation Project VMT Estimations and Analysis (OpMonal) The City's Circulation Element includes a number of planned roadway widenings and extensions. In all likelihood, each of these projects, when viewed on their own, would Induce more travel (i.e., generate Increased VMT)_ OPR's Technical Advisory describes induced travel caused by roadway projectsas presumably causing a significant Impact. Accordingly, this task includes a project -by -project VMT estimation to quantify its specific VMT effect, under both baseline and cumulative conditions. This will enable the DEIR to include an impact statement pertaining to the effects of specific, planned circulation element Improvements on VMT generation. By concluding such impacts are significant and unavoidable, the City may be able to tier from the DEIR to avoid requiring the preparation of an EIR for individual roadway projects due strictly to induced VMT generation. 6 sine e.

If responses require more time than has been budgeted or an in-depth quantitative technical response, a supplemental scope of work will be submitted. ~ni Fehr & Peers will attend four meetings during the course of the study. This may include a kick-off meeting, progress meetings, and public hearings (i.e., Planning Commission and City Coundp. try Place Works will prepare an administrative Draft SEIR that provides a programmatic analysis of the proposed project. The SEIR will include technical sections for air quality, greenhouse gases. and noise, based on the modeling described above, and a traffic section based on the information provided by Fehr & Peers. The other technical sections will rely upon information generated by the City as part of the Municipal Services Review, or from the certified General Plan EIR. Based on one consolidated set of comments on the administrative Draft SEIR, we will prepare a Screencheck Draft SEIR in track changes. It is assumed that review of the Screencheck Draft SEIR will not result in any new technical analysis or substantial text revisions. Task 3. Pubic Circulation Draft SEIR After City review of the Screencheck Draft SEIR, we will Incorporate comments and prepare a publication version of the document. The public Draft SEIR will be provided in both electronic format for posting on the website and 3 hard copies with appendices on CD. If needed more copies can be determined at the kickoff meeting and provided as an additional expense. Place Works will deliver the electronic document to the state clearinghouse using their e -submittal process and forms. Task 6. Final SEIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Pubic and agency comments on in EIR generally require only clarification and expansion of the EIR analysis and/or recognition of the ccmmentors' concerns about the project being considered. In some cases, however, additional SmmwenxeceYwn6mrorxru ksvnr/hexracu Srxwcra kscopeorwve eke 7 Gm o� Lop analysis may be required. Because new Impacts can trigger recirculation of the Draft SEIR, which could alter the project schedule, it is important to identify issues for recirculation as quickly as possible. Therefore, we will begin preparation of the Final SEIR with a review of all public and agency comments, followed by a meeting with City staff to discuss the most critical comments. This approach will ensure that critical path items are identified early, and that the most difficult or sensitive comments receive ample attention. After the close of the 45 -day public comment period, PlaceWorks will prepare written responses to the written comments received on the Draft SEIR. Should comments raise new issues or require that new technical studies be conducted to complete adequate responses, or if comments received would result in work effort that exceeds the current budget assumptions for this task, we will initiate discussions immediately with the City and will negotiate the scope and cost for this additional level of effort. Comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and comment number), and the responses to those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation. In addition, where necessary, the text of the Draft SEIR will be revised in a format to indicate text that has been deleted (by strikeout) or new text has been inserted (by double. underline). The Final SEIR will include response to comments, provide any edits needed to the respond to comments received on the Draft SEIR, and collaborate on responses that involve the project description or City actions. PlaceWorks will code each comment to allow efficient review of responses. If there are numerous comments on similar topics, we may recommend master responses) to ensure a thorough and reasoned response. The response to comments will also differentiate between environmental issues and those that do not affect the adequacy of the SEIR. This scope and budget estimate the time needed to prepare the Final SEIR; if significantly more comments are received, we may need to reevaluate the scope and budget. PlaceWorks will prepare an administrative draft Final SEIR and a Final SEIR for consideration by the City Council. PlaceWorks will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) based on the MMRP from the General Plan EIR and resulting from any changes discussed in the SEIR. PlaceWorks will provide electronic copies of the Final SEIR and MMRP for use in the staff report.

Including the City's 2010 General Plan, 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, 2012 Water Master Plan, and other plans and programs to support water utility and infrastructure analyses. PlaceWorks will attend initial meetings with City Staff, review documents, and initiate public agency data requests and Interviews. 6.2 Data Collection and Analysis to Support the EIR Existing Setting PlaceWorks will work with City staff In the Planning Division and Public Works Department to identify existing water infrastructure and supply in Lodi and its proposed SOI. This would incorporate information collected through research and direct interviews with the City's Public Works department, Woodbridge Irrigation District, and the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District as necessary and also provide the "Environmental Setting" content for the EIR discussion of the proposed project's utilities and water supply sections. Key existing improvement needs will be noted, including a summary of existing planned or proposed capital improvement projects and funding sources. Issues affecting future maintenance and operation costs, such as flooding, infrastructure age and condition, and technology will be highlighted. The scope assumes no field work, facility evaluations. or modeling relating to the adequacy of water systems and will rely primarily on information provided by the service providers through interviews, correspondence, systems master plans, and technical reports. Findings will be compiled in a Draft Water Infrastructure and Supply Memorandum. The memorandum will be finalized upon one round of review by the City. 6.3 Evaluation of Growth Impacts on Utilities and Wafer Supply Place Works will evaluate future needs for water infrastructure and supply to support the preparation of the Utilities and Services Systems and Hydrology and Water quality sections of the EIR. Consideration would be given to the adequacy of existing supplies and infrastructure and the need for additional facilities and/or water supply sources. Upon receipt of the boundaries and land uses within the updated SOI and any adjustments to current General Plan land use designations Place Works will evaluate the impact on the water systems at maximum buildout. Place Works will calculate changes in water demands based on a locally accepted generation factortic identify peak water demands over the current General Plan maximum buildout conditions. Place Works will work with the City's Public Works Department, Woodbridge Irrigation District, and the North San Joaquin Water Conservation District to determine whether projected water supplies and infrastructure improvements are adequate to support future land uses and, if necessary, asses any infrastructure improvements or additional water supplies that might be needed. Findings will be compiled in the Draft Water Infrastructure and Supply Memorandum to be finalized afterone round of review by the City.

Over its 160 years, the city has evolved to encompass 65 square miles. Rising housing costs and Job growth in the San Francisco Bay Area fueled intense housing development on the outskirts of Stockton, and the city was hit hard by the economic recession that followed. The 2007 adopted and certified General Plan and EIR were the subject of a lawsuit involving the Sierra Club and State Attorney General. The Settlement Agreement that followed in 2008 called upon the Gty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through a Climate Action Plan, which was completed In 2014, and General Plan amendments to promote infill development. PlaceWorks led a new comprehensive update to the General Plan to fulfill the Cilli obligations under the Settlement Agreement and to reflect a significantly different set of conditions and trends resulting from the economic recession that came on the heels of the previous General Plan. The update is well timed to help Stockton make the leap to the realization of a stronger, sustainable economy and enhanced quality of life. The General Plan is built on customized corridor -specific components to shift from aging industrial infrastructure into vibrant mixed- use neighborhood arteries. Through meaningful public input, the project team explored land use and circulation options to target areas that can catalyze positive change, and developed creative policies that promote infill development and economic sustainability. The EIR evaluates the General Plan, as required by CEM, and the team conducted a detailed review of the City's Development Code to identify needed updates following General Plan adoption. The General Plan has been awarded the 2019 APA CA Statewide and Sacramento Valley Section, Comprehensive Planning Award: Large Jurisdiction, Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan. Dixon Northeast Quadrant Specific Plan EIR Addendum for the City of Dixon Not all projects require starting CEM from scratch, and our approach of evaluating previous environmental analyses often saves the lead agency and the applicant time and money, The City of Dixon approved a Specific Plan and EIR In 1995, for 643 acres. Very little development has occurred within the Specific Plan Area since the EIR was certified, and in 2018 the City processed a request to amend the Specific Plan to allow construction of a 502,000 square foot warehouse distribution facility on approximately 31.5 acres. The project also required relocating an existing storm drainage basin. While the original request for proposal called for an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, PlaceWorks reviewed the certified EIR and determined that an Addendum would better suit the applicant and allow the Gry to keep the substantial evidence standard of challenge. We prepared an Addendum, demonstrated that the mitigation strategy remained effective and that no additional environmental analysis was necessary. The project was approved in February 2019, with no challenge to the environmental determination. Elk Grove Crossings Annexation Project for the City of Elk Grove PlaceWorks is assisting the City of Elk Grove with the annexation of the Elk Grove Crossings Specific Plan. This effort is complex as it involves coordination with several service providers, navigating the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) annexation process, and projections of development potential for an area outside of the Specific Plan, but within IS m aFlrm qutlirCOLoni srwar or lnnu[xcr uru.rt Erv.annem.rrmewrnewiCM tanen CmwLooi the Sphere of Influence.

Los Banos Annexation Policy for the City of Los Banos Los Banos has seen extensive growth over the last 30 years, much of it driven by spillover housing demand from the South Bay/Silicon Valley. After a period of rapid growth from the 1990s to late 2000s, Los Banos experienced a sharp decline in housing demand and development during the Great Recession. However, with the strong and long-lasting economic recovery since 2011, Los Banos has seen resurgent housing demand and interest in new development. The Cilywould like to create new mechanisms to more effectively guide this future development from the very earliest steps to ensure that a benefits the city as a whole. For properties that lie outside the existing Los Banos city limit, the City Council and Planning Commission retain broad discretion with respect to proposed annexations and planned land uses; the City of Los Banos is now seeking to formalize that discretion through the adoption of new policies and/or ordinances governing annexation. Key issues the City is seeking to address include: • Achieving a more diverse mix of housing types and affordability levels; • Mandating the inclusion of neighborhpod-serving amenities; ■ Providing high quality of life and neighborhood design; ■ Ensuring adequate transportation, utility, and other infrastructure/services; and • Maintaining Los Banos longterm fiscal health, As pan of this effort, PlaceWorks will work with City staff and elected and appointed officials to ensure that new policies and/or ordinances give the City the level of leverage and control necessary to ensure newly annexed areas are built in a way that meets community expectations and City needs. Corning Municipal Service Review for the City of Corning As part of their SB -2 Grant, PlaceWorks was retained to update the City's Municipal Services Review (MSR) to enable annexation of land west of 1 5. The area Intended for annexation will mdude the west side of a freeway Interchange and include the potential far additional housing. The MSR update is underway and being prepared with the concurrence of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). The Draft MSR will be available in March and adoption by tAF-Co is antidpated in lune/July 2021. 9xe•w 4nwxcr Unun•m•ow,aeu 9waw/fwrtac�ssmrcu EPom Ouosfx:otlms ••• 19 Gn ul lDq FEHR & PEERS TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS Yuba City Travel Demand Model, SB 743 Implementation, and Impact Fee Program for the City of Yuba Fehr & Peers recently completed an update to the city's model to develop a new 2020 base year condition and a 2040 horizon year.
