Subject: Consultant Agreement Authorization for Preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report for the proposed Beechwood Specific Plan Neighborhood Date: April 17, 2018
Project Location Map
2 In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), given the scope of
environmental issues to analyze and evaluate for the Beechwood Specific Plan project, an
environmental impact report (EIR) is necessary to be prepared.
3 In 2011, the City solicited EIR proposals from several planning firms, including Firma Planning Consultants The proposal from Firma Planning Consultants included a sound methodology for preparing the EIR and it was the lowest cost proposal At the request of the project proponents and direction of City staff, Firma Planning Consultants provided an updated EIR proposal, including a Scope of Work, which was approved by the Community Development Director Given the familiarity that Firma Planning Consultants already had with this project, City staff did not request additional proposals from other firms The cost of the study is proposed in the amount of $144,290 The proposal and scope of work are provided in Attachment 1, Draft Resolution, Exhibit A.
4 The City’s Purchasing Manual, under Section 7, provides for the ability of the City to “sole source” professional services (e.g request and receive only one proposal), when it can be determined by the City Council that it is in the best interest of the City to do so In this case, Firma Planning
Consultants has the expertise and background that would be beneficial and in the best interests of the City to prepare the EIR for this project Expanding a search for other qualified consultants would
Trang 2add a minimum of two months to the timeframe to complete this work, and use extra staff time that could otherwise be used moving this and other projects forward
5 The City’s Purchasing Manual, under Section 6, provides that any contract for “professional services” over the amount of $20,000 must be authorized by City Council
6 The applicant has agreed to pay the cost of the EIR of $144,290 The applicant is satisfied with the scope of work, and are anxious to initiate this EIR for the project, and is in full support to use Firma Planning Consultants No City funds will be used to prepare this study
Options
1 Take no action
2 Approve use of Firma Planning Consultants by making a determination that it is in the best interest of the City to sole source preparation of this EIR in the amount of $144,290, and direct staff to enter into a contract with Firma Planning Consultant to complete this study in accordance with the
proposal submitted
3 Amend the above-listed action
4 Refer back to staff for additional analysis
Analysis and Conclusions
The City has had favorable experiences working with Firma Planning Consultants on other projects Firma Planning Consultants has qualified staff with the necessary expertise and experience to complete this study Their proposal is acceptable to the applicant, and preparation of the study will not impact the City’s fiscal resources The City Council has the authority to sole source these services for the intended purpose, and to approve expenditures over $144,290
Option 2 Provides efficiency in expediting the EIR process for the City and applicant by using the
environmental consultant with the most experience and familiarity with the localized issues involved with this project, and saves staff resources and time by not requiring an additional RFP process for an
expenditure over $20,000 (with the cost of preparing the EIR to be 100% funded by the applicant) Options 1, 3 and 4 These options would delay the processing time of this application, which will add cost
to the applicant and the City, since extra time spent on this project by staff conducting an RFP process would use staff time that would not be available for use on other projects The outcome may also not yield any more qualified consultants to prepare this EIR

187 Tank Farm Road Suite 230
We are pleased to submit this proposal for your consideration I have prepared EIRs for over
30 years and for the past decade have focused almost exclusively on CEQA documents for
public agency sponsored projects, ranging from schools to public infrastructure to parks on
the project side and General Plan Element updates, annexations and Specific Plans on the
program side
Recently I have worked on the EIR for a major annexation and Specific Plan for 1,700 acres
in Price Canyon for the City of Pismo Beach That project involves 697 residences and a mix
of visitor serving commercial and open space The Beechwood Specific Plan area is less
complex environmentally and enjoys the benefit of already be annexed to the City, however
there are some substantive similarities for topics like traffic, smart growth, air quality,
adjacency to agricultural lands and LID Our very recent interaction with the RWQCB,
Caltrans and APCD, as well as the County Agriculture Department have given us insight into
how these agencies currently view the issues and mitigation strategies for projects of this
size The Price Canyon project has shown how vital it is to have the Specific Plan and WSA
really complete before circulating an EIR
For this project, Firma Associate environmental planner Lindsay Corica will assist on all
sections and we will have Michelle Gibbs with MIG consultants as a planner for several
sections and quality control Since 1997, Ms Gibbs has authored and managed over
twenty-six CEQA, NEPA, or joint documents including projects for oil and gas, Caltrans/FHWA, Air
Force, NOAA, and various school districts and municipalities Ms Gibbs worked as a senior
planner with the Santa Barbara County Development Review Division South for 3 years and
processed major conditional use permits, development plans, tract maps, lot line
adjustments, and rezones, coastal development permits Resumes for myself, Lindsay and
Michelle are attached
The Work Plan following details our approach and explains our observations and concerns
about the Specific Plan, as it stands
Attachment 2
Trang 6Last, I would like to emphasize that by hiring Firma the City will get my depth of experience
in CEQA, as well as on development projects in Paso Robles, directly on every aspect of EIR
preparation through public hearings My experience as a designer as well as an
environmental consultant offers a unique skill set that will be valuable on this complex and

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City undertook the preparation of the EIR for the draft Olsen Ranch Beechwood Specific Plan
EIR in 2007 In the course of EIR preparation the City also began the process of a major update
to the General Plan Circulation Element, at which time the City determined the Specific Plan EIR
should be put on hold until the Update was complete This resulted in a partially finished EIR
Since that time, the Olsen property has dropped out The Beechwood property interest has
proceeded, undertaking a considerable effort to resolve biological issues related to the potential
presence of fairy shrimp, and creating a preliminary draft Specific Plan, which is used as the
basis for this scope of work
The new Beechwood Specific Plan is comprised of multiple property owners and will be built-out
over many years At the time of this EIR proposal, a complete draft Specific Plan is not yet
available The proposal is based on the November 27, 2017 Beechwood Specific Plan Project
Description, the Draft Annotated Outline dated 3-13-18
Last, the City desires that the Specific Plan EIR be crafted to maximize its utility for subsequent
land use actions such as Tentative Tract Maps
APPROACH THE PROJECT
The following summarizes the approach we discussed in our recent meeting
• Although a Program EIR is a valid level of review for a Specific Plan, it is our
understanding that the City and applicant desire the EIR to be a project-level EIR As
mentioned in the cover letter, our recent involvement in the Price Canyon General Plan
update, Annexation and Specific Plan process in Pismo Beach has shown that the more
specific a Specific Plan can be the better the Project and the EIR are received
• For the purposes of analysis the project description will identify a reasonable phasing
plan and build-out horizon
• The EIR will substantiate the adequacy or applicability of Specific Plan “self-mitigating
standards” to mitigate the identified impacts Likewise, the application of Municipal Code
standards can be good mitigation, and the effectiveness needs to be substantiated in the
EIR
• The previous partially completed ADEIR for the Olsen Beechwood SP has limited
usefulness after so many years have elapsed However, we will use previous information as
appropriate

• The EIR will tier from the Annexation / GPA EIR prepared for the property In particular,
we will reference findings related to conversion of agriculture land to urban uses
WORK PLAN AND SCOPE
Project initiation
Project initiation will include a discussion with the City about the content of the Specific Plan and
EIR and schedule an EIR Scoping Meeting The Scope includes time for about four meetings with
the City Ad Hoc Committee
We propose no Initial Study, rather we suggest issuing a Notice of Preparation of a full EIR The
project is large and complex enough to be unlikely to able to drop out study topics using the
Initial Study for EIR scoping
We will prepare and mail AB 52 notification letters using the City Tribal list As we understand
the project actions there is a General Plan amendment proposed, therefore, SB 18 consultation
will also be undertaken
Project Timeline
The traffic analysis (TIA) is a critical path item because noise and air quality analyses are
dependent on the first run of data from that study We assume the TIA will have trip generation
and trip distribution complete for our use within 4-6 weeks of our start-up, if this changes it will
affect our schedule
Upon contract approval, we will schedule the City / stakeholder start-up meeting and set an EIR
scoping meeting date The NOP will be issued before the scoping meeting At the conclusion of
the NOP comment period the substance of the EIR analysis will commence, however there are
tasks that can precede the NOP responses
We estimate the start-up tasks and Administrative Draft EIR process to take 14 weeks
After receiving comments from the City on the ADEIR we will have the DEIR ready for review and
distribution within four weeks
We estimate the Response to Comments, Finding and AFEIR task to take up to four weeks
Additional Information in the Specific Plan
We propose the City request documentation in the Specific Plan on the expected outcome of LID
measures In our experience on the Price Canyon project, the RWQCB was in support in of the
EIR analysis and strategy to use LID standards from the City’s Stormwater Management Program
as mitigation, but indicated the Specific Plan itself lacked detail, making it difficult for the
Attachment 2
Trang 10Beechwood Specific Plan EIR
RWQCB to review the project The Beechwood Specific Plan could provide more background
analysis on this topic
It is our understanding that the Specific Plan will include analysis of pre and post development
stormwater in the 25 and 100-year storm events
Major Study Topics
Transportation Impact Analysis (under separate contract)
Associated Transportation Engineers will prepare the transportation impact analysis under direct
contract with the City We have reviewed the ATE scope of work and note the scope includes, in
addition to vehicular analysis, pedestrian and bicycle circulation and safety The ATE scope does
not include discussion of Circulation Element and other General Plan and land use consistency
This topic will be addressed in the EIR und Land Use Consistency
Noise
Ambient Noise Consultants will prepare the noise impact section The section will identify
existing and future transportation noise sources and conditions within the project study-area and
evaluate project effects on the key roadways and intersections in the vicinity of the site The
study will be prepared using sound level contours analysis to assess the project's effects on
sound levels at defined distances from roadways intersections
The scope of work addressed in this study will include a comprehensive analysis of existing and
future projected transportation noise sources in the Specific Plan area, based on data provided
by the EIR traffic engineer for the following transportation noise scenarios:
1) Existing Conditions 2) Existing + Project 3) Cumulative projects + Project 4) Year 2030 + Project
All sound level depictions are based on field measurements of existing ambient and
transportation sound levels, taken at key locations The circulation network in the EIR Traffic and
Circulation will be used for the noise impact analysis
Sound levels will be expressed as long-term LDN (Day-Night Level) values with associated
penalties for sound levels produced during nighttime hours Existing and Future noise contours
will be generated by acoustical computer modeling procedures that comply with Federal Highway
Administration Transportation Noise Model criteria and protocols Significance thresholds will be
derived from the City Noise Element and Noise Ordinance The EIR will evaluate the effectiveness

of Specific Plan standards and design to attenuate traffic noise and identify additional measures
to achieve compliance with City standards
Ground-borne vibration levels commonly associated with onsite construction activities and
equipment operations will be discussed Ground-borne vibration impacts associated with
long-term project operations are anticipated to be minor and will be qualitatively assessed
The significance of short-term construction and long-term operational noise impacts will be
evaluated in comparison to applicable noise standards Mitigation measures will be developed for
significant impacts The effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures will be quantified and
included in the report
Air Quality
The Olsen Beechwood ADEIR preliminarily identifies a Class I impact for project generated
vehicular emissions Assuming the same will be the case of the Beechwood EIR, all feasible
mitigation measures need to be specified in the EIR The Specific Plan has numerous design
features to encourage a pedestrian community and reduce trips, such as neighborhood
commercial zoning We will consult with the APCD about efficacy of these measures to reduce
impacts, however, with a Class I impact for a project of this size, the APCD will likely ask for
off-site mitigation funding
For a project action of this size, the APCD is most interested in making sure the project
incorporates design and planning features that reduce vehicle miles traveled This overarching
strategy is, and will continue to be, the primary strategy for reducing all emissions, including
greenhouse gases, as the regulatory framework continues to evolve As a result, the proposal for
increased density may appeal to the APCD
The analysis will use the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod, Version 2016.3.2) to
estimate the level of criteria air pollutants (e.g., particulate matter or PM), toxic air contaminants
(TAC; e.g., diesel PM), and GHGs (e.g., carbon dioxide and methane) generated by the
construction and operation of the Proposed Project The resulting emissions estimates would be
compared to CEQA significance thresholds maintained by the San Luis Obispo County Air
Pollution Control District (SLOAPCD) for the purposes of determining whether a project would
cause or or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation, expose sensitive receptors
to substantial pollutant concentrations, or result in a cumulatively considerable net increase in
emissions of a non-attainment criteria air pollutants Construction emission calculation for a
project will be a multi-decade buildout that some basic assumptions can be made for within the
existing regulatory framework
We do not propose to run CO hotspot modeling, especially due to the long-term downward trend
of CO due to vehicle fleet emission improvements
Attachment 2
Trang 12Beechwood Specific Plan EIR
Health Risk Assessment
Due to the presence of nearby sensitive residential and school (Virginia Peterson Elementary
School) receptors on Beechwood Drive, we are including a construction health risk assessment
(HRA) in its scope of work It is our experience that the APCD will want this level of assessment
for this scale of project We would use the U.S EPA-approved and SLOAPCD-recommended
regulatory model (AERMOD) to predict exposure to concentrations of pollutants at sensitive
receptor locations and quantify associated health risks If necessary, the EIR would identify
mitigation measures to reduce construction emissions and health risks to less than significant
levels, such as the use of late model construction equipment meeting U.S EPA Tier 3 or Tier 4
exhaust emission standards
Biological Resources
The Biological Report prepared by Althouse and Meade dated 2014 offers the following
information in summary:
• Habitat types identified and mapped in the Study Area consist of cropland, vineyard,
anthropogenic, wetland, and ephemeral pool No sensitive natural communities are
present in the Study Area
• Botanical surveys conducted in spring and summer 2014 identified 102 species,
subspecies, and varieties of vascular plants in the Study Area Habitat and soil conditions
are appropriate for six special status plant species No special status plant species were
detected in the Study Area in 2014
• Wildlife species detected in the Study Area include 1 reptile, 28 birds, and 5 mammals
Appropriate habitat is present in the Study Area for sixteen special status animals No
state or federally listed animals were detected in the Study Area
The EIR will rely on this report as well as the 2018 Wetland Delineation Report by Althouse and
Meade It is our understanding that the absence of the federally listed fairy shrimp has been
confirmed, with concurrence from the USFWS It is also our understanding that the applicant will
provide additional information form Althouse and Meade related to biological resource impacts
and mitigation for review
The EIR will peer review the Biological Report (2014) and the Delineation of Potentially
Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters – Amendment 1 (2018) prepared by Althouse and Meade for
the project We would also review other biological reports completed for projects in the immediate
project area, and query the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) maintained by the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to ensure all special status biological resources
potentially occurring on the project site were identified and evaluated A field reconnaissance level

survey would then be conducted to ground truth the data presented in the reports and evaluate
the conclusions and impact and mitigation analysis
Low Impact Development and Stormwater
The City’s adopted SWMP (2010) defines strategies and guidelines for the protection of water
quality and reduction of pollutant discharges within the city The Central Coast Regional Water
Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has created a “Vision of Healthy Watersheds” to focus its
implementation of state and federal water quality laws to best protect and enhance county
watersheds This vision is currently being realized with the Regional Joint Effort for the
Development of Hydromodification Control Criteria and the requirement for all Small Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems in its jurisdiction to implement Best Management Practices
(BMPs) for long-term watershed protection The City has adopted a Stormwater Technical Guide
consistent with the RWQCB Post-construction Storm Water Management Requirements
The SWMP requires that projects include BMPs that reduce pollutants in a storm water runoff to
the technology-based standard of “maximum extent practical” (MEP) to protect water quality
These standards establish the level of pollutant reductions that dischargers must achieve
The EIR would benefit from inclusion of more detailed engineering data from the applicant on the
techniques identified in the Specific Plan, especially the adequacy of stormwater quality basins
and their relation to larger storm events
The Specific Plan would be expected to identify sustainable stormwater management principles
that would guide the design of the development These contain a variety of measures and BMPs to
implement the SWMP within the Specific Plan area MEP is generally a result of emphasizing
pollution prevention and source control BMPs as the first lines of defense in combination with
structural and treatment methods serving as additional lines of defense, and the Specific Plan
seems to point in that direction However, for the purposes of the EIR analysis it would be
valuable to have the Specific Plan preparers explain the connection between the stormdrain
conveyances and water quality basins and the implementation of the first line of defense
• Describe, using applicant supplied analyses, quantification of potential storm water
volumes and stormwater pollutant loads,
• Describe how well the proposed measures achieve MEP reductions in pollutant loads in
consultation with the RWQCB,
• Formulate an analytical framework to discuss how well identified sustainable stormwater
management principles in the Specific Plan can be implemented, and
Attachment 2
Trang 14Beechwood Specific Plan EIR
• If necessary, develop additional mitigation measures that can be readily used by City staff
in evaluating subsequent entitlement applications
Visual Resources
The EIR section will identify all applicable City policies related to visual resources from the
General Plan and use these as impact significance criteria Based on these policies and
discussions to date, it understood that the change from open land to urban use may be
considered a less than significant impact with mitigation
Photos of the Specific Plan area from four public views will be depicted It is not likely that the
final ground elevation plus or minus a few feet will substantially change the overall impact
because the potential for ridgeline silhouetting and view blockage that might otherwise cause
impacts is not present in this case As a result, we do not propose to create a precisely accurate
representation of scale that uses vertical pylon poles referenced to horizontal ground datum
Rather, the graphics will show pre- and post-development conditions that simulate the basic
scale of the residences, perimeter landscape and wall treatments and the general change in
topographic elevation We will use the applicant’s grading plan to approximate finished landform
elevations within each view The purpose of the simulations will be more on architecture
character, perimeter treatment, massing and scale rather than a precise modeled representation
The Specific Plan design guidelines and principles will be evaluated for adequacy to avoid or
minimize potentially significant visual impacts The discussion will include glare considerations
Mitigation measures will be formulated to be readily be added to the Specific Plan, or
implemented at subsequent project level actions such as Tract Maps as conditions of approval
Alternatives to the Proposed Project
The discussion will include the reasons the General Plan identified this site for the land uses it
did and tie the range of possible alternatives to how well they meet the project objectives It is
likely that several conceivable alternatives may be rejected as infeasible, and these reasons will
be carefully explained
The first consideration for selecting alternatives to the proposed project for analysis is to select
alternatives that avoid of reduce one or more significant impact, especially Class 1 impacts
Since air quality is a likely Class 1 impact, the alternative discussion should address VMT The
discussion could explain whether the Specific Plan area, which is on the low-density edge of the
city, could be less dense with density increases directed to the core of the city We believe this
discussion is needed in light of the current regulatory objectives state and countywide for
high-density infill and reducing vehicle miles traveled
For the purpose of scoping the cost of analysis is it assumed there will be, in addition to the No
Project Alternative, two other land use scenarios:
Attachment 2
Trang 15Beechwood Specific Plan EIR
firma
landscape architecture • planning • environmental studies • ecological restoration
8
• Development under the current General Plan land use density (674 residential units
and 4.6 acres of commercial retail land use)
• A to be determined land use scenario crafted in coordination with the City and applicant
The TIA does not include any alternatives discussion in its scope When this is the case, we
typically derive a qualitative, order-of-magnitude comparative analysis of traffic impacts from the
traffic analysis for the Alternative section of the EIR
Because the TIA does not provide quantified data on the alternatives, the noise and air quality
discussion in the alternatives section of the EIR will be similarly derived and be more qualitative
and order-of magnitude oriented
At this early point in the process, it cannot be determined that the level of Alternatives analysis
will be sufficient for the City to approve one of the Alternatives, unless the Alternative is
manifestly less impact
Topics from Olsen Beechwood Specific Plan ADEIR Needing Updating
In reviewing the previous ADEIR and current regulatory and environmental settings, we have
identified population and housing as needing updating in the EIR to reflect the current adopted
Housing Element population setting, housing inventory and characteristics and policies
Other capacity related topics might require updating including wastewater, water supply and
public services In particular, the discussion of the groundwater basin will need to be updated to
reflect the current “conversation” about overdraft It is our understanding that the Water Supply
Assessment will be completed by Todd Engineering for our use in the EIR
Based on USFWS comments on the City’s Circulation Element EIR, it appears a more robust
discussion of kit fox issues should be included in this EIR As discussed the City and applicant
will engage the USFWS on the mitigation strategy for Kit Fox and we will use this information in
the biological resources section of the EIR
Usability for Subsequent Actions
One consideration is how well mitigation measures can be used by City staff over the years in
subsequent actions Likewise the way impacts are stated can either aid or hinder staff in
subsequent CEQA review for tentative tract map applications We have discovered this principle
in performing mitigation monitoring using agency EIRs
Both impacts and mitigation measures tend to get disembodied existences over time, so the
language in them must be intelligible over many years and various staff One method we propose
to help this matter is to provide a mitigation measure table that breaks the measures out by
Specific Plan area parcel
