COASTAL PLAN PREPARATION", APPROVED BY THE
CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 24, 2002
I
Public Hearinl!.s
The Planning Commission and the City Council will conduct public hearings on the proposed
General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan. In addition, the California Coastal Commission wi1\
conduct a public hearing regarding the review of the Coastal Land Use Plan. These opportunities
for public input wi1\ be advertised and noticed as required by state law,
General Plan Advisory Committee and Workshops
CAA proposes the formation of a General Plan Advisory Committee, or GP AC, to serve as the core
group to work with the consultant team in review and development of the draft General Plan and
Coastal Land Use Plan documents The role of the GPAC wi1\ be to review and comment on
proposed updated drafts of individual elements. We recommend the GPAC be comprised of I
approximately 10 people and Include representatives of the Planning Commission and other standing
commissions and committees, and representatives of the community at large. The GPAC could also
include a City Council representative.
CAA proposes to conduct four GPAC workshops as follows:

Workshop 4
Coastal Land Use Plan
Wrap Up
For each workshop, CAA wi1\ provide copies of the existing element and preliminary draft element
with any applicable supporting documentation in advance of each meeting. CAA wi1\ facilitate a I
discussion of each element and help identify issue areas and any proposed changes. Representatives
from Mestre Greve Associates wiIl partIcIpate in the Noise Element workshop, and a representative
from Kunzman Associates wiIl participate in the Circulation Element workshop, Of course,
applicable City staff wiIl participate in each workshop as well. Each workshop is assumed to be
approximately three hours long.
Requested changes and issues identified through the workshop process will be incorporated Into the

Resolution Number ~~
as for copies requested by the public and copies needed for internal City use. Due to budget
limitations, all requested changes may not be accommodated within the proposed scope of work,
such as the collection of new data or preparation of additional technIcal studies. However,
information requests or changes that cannot be accommodated withIn the scope of work and budget
will be documented and recommendations will be made for future or additional work efforts, In
addition, CAA will document all comments and recommendations presented at the workshops for
City Council and Planning Commission information.
CEQA Compliance Documentation
The proposed General Plan updat~ is a considered a "project" under CEQA CEQA compliance
documentation will be required to address the potential environmental effects of the proposed
General Plan and the Coastal Land Use Plan. As no changes In land use are proposed and the City
intends to largely rely on the existing elements and available information, the Initial Study for the
project may support the issuance of a Mitigated Negati ve Declaration. This section summanzes the
tasks required for the preparation of a MItigated Negative Declaration. If significant adverse
environmental effects are identified that cannot be mitigated, an Environmental Impact Report Will
need to be prepared In this event, a revised scope of work will need to be prepared to accommodate
this expanded work effort.
For purposes of this proposal, an Initial StudylMitigatedNegative Declaration (IS/MND) is assumed
to be prepared for the project which will include the following main components'
Introduction/Statutory Authority
Project Description
Environmental Setting/Potential Project ImpactslMitigation Measures
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
A screencheck copy of the proposed lS/MND will be provided to staff for review Based on any
comments on the draft IS/MND, CAA will finalize the ISIMND document. City staff, with
assistance from CAA, wiII prepare the proposed IS/MND distribution list. CAA will prepare all
required notices with the City being responsible for any publishing costs. CAA will print and mail
up to 20 copies of the proposed IS/MND for public review.
CAA WIU prepare responses to comments received on the circulated IS/MND. It is assumed for the
purposes of this proposal that approximately 5 comment letters with a total of20 comments will
requite responses.
Upon project approval, CAA Will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD) for City sIgnature and
file the NOD with the State Office of PlannIng and Research and the County Clerk's office, One
copy of the Final ISnvlND wiII be provided to City staff.
