organization and presentation. The overall schedule for the EIR preparation shall be reviewed
and refined for the City's final approval.
Working with CITY staff, the Consultant shall verify the characteristics of the Priority
Development Area. A set of assumptions, based on the available data, shall be prepared for use
as a basis for developing a project description and defining each of the alternatives to be used in
the EIR, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines, inclusive of the project's technical and
environmental characteristics. It is acknowledged that the description of alternatives could
change or be modified during preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR as impacts and
mitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts to less than significant levels may be
identified as the studies proceed. Consultation with CITY staff regarding discretionary approvals
that shall be needed for the project shall be made at this time.

occurrence. The Consultant shall concentrate on those areas of specific concern identified at the
initial meeting with CITY staff at the outset of the studies and in responses received as a result of
issuing the NOR
The Consultant shall prepare an Administrative Draft EIR (ADEIR) in conformance with the
EIR format as approved by CITY. All text and graphics to be used in the Draft EIR shall be
included in proposed final form. Six copies of the ADEIR and an electronic Microsoft Word
version shall be prepared and delivered to CITY for review and comment.
A comprehensive overall description of the project area setting shall be developed to provide an
overview of the environmental conditions found on and around the project site and to serve as
the basis for analyzing project impacts. A setting description shall be provided for each of the
technical subjects studied, some of which shall naturally derive from the earlier tasks that
examine opportunities and constraints, traffic, and infrastructure.
The analysis shall document potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures for the
project as a whole. Significant and less- than - significant impacts shall be differentiated, the
purpose of this being that the reader shall be able to grasp the "bottom line" of the analysis. The
reasons that various potentially significant effects of the project were determined not to be
significant shall be documented. The extent of the discussion of impacts shall reflect the severity
of the impacts and their likelihood of occurrence. All impact analyses shall differentiate between
the incremental effects of the project and cumulative effects with respect to cumulative
development in the Sonoma County area as appropriate.
Each identified impact and mitigation measure shall have a specific coded number for the
purpose of documenting mitigation- monitoring actions. Mitigation measures shall be described
after each identified impact. Mitigation measures shall be presented in a manner that shall allow
them to be extracted from the EIR in the form of conditions of approval. Where several measures
are available to mitigate an impact, each shall be discussed, along with the basis for suggesting a
particular measure. A key feature of the impacts analysis shall be to provide information about
how impact potential is determined. The CEQA criteria for impact significance (Thresholds of
Significance) shall be listed prior to the impact discussion for each subject area investigated.
This allows comprehension and continuity of the analysis and establishes the foundation on
which to draw important conclusions regarding the significance of the environmental impact.
Each discussion of impact potential shall conclude with a summary statement indicating whether
