Davis ROHNERT PARK REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Title: Attachment A PROPOSAL TO PREPARE A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE ROHNERT PARR REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY SCOPE -OF WORK Preparation of Rohnert Park's Redevelopment plan and Environmental Impact Report is proposed to be completed by July 1987 in order to utilize tax increment accruing in the 1986/87 fiscal year. The process to adopt the Plan by July begins with designation of a Redevelopment Survey Area and adoption of a Preliminary Plan. These steps identify the Project Area boundaries; uncover preliminary land use, environmental, fiscal, and public services information; and initiates public review and negotiations with affected taxing agencies. We will carry out a survey of lana uses to determine redevelopment eligibility as "urbanized" and "blighted" territory. We will prepare a Preliminary Redevelopment Plan pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33324, generally describing existing conditions and impacts of redevelopment activities. We will attend one City Council meeting for Survey Area designation, and one Planning Commission meeting for Preliminary Plan adoption. The Redevelopment Plan itself will set forth in detail the con- templated redevelopment activities including land uses, building standards, public improvement goals, funding sources, limitations on tax increment revenues, and property management. The Plan becomes the Agency's land use document, financing authorization, and -charter of powers and therefore will be tailored carefully to Rohnert Park's needs. It may be appropriate that a Town Hall meeting be conducted early in the process to explain redevelop- ment and gain public participation in identifying issues, impro- vements and opportunities for the Plan. This meeting would complement the joint. City Council/Redevelopment Agency public hearing required for Plan adoption. We will prepare the Redevelopment Plan draft for Agency and City review and comment, conduct the Town Hall meeting scheduled, and attend the joint public hearing. The Environmental Impact Report will accompany the Plan and be substantively integrated with the Plan. The EIR will describe existing environmental conditions, assess environmental impacts and recommend mitigation measures. A Draft EIR will be submitted for City and Agency review, and for public review and distribution. Comments will be incorporated into the final draft EIR for Planning Commission review (jointly with its review of the Redevelopment Plan) and for City Council/Agency certification at the joint public hearing. We will prepare the draft EIR, receive and address comments, and prepare the final EIR. An important part of the Redevelopment Plan process is fiscal review with affected taxing agencies. We will prepare a draft 2 Report identifying fiscal impact information from the Project, to serve as the basis for consultation and negotiation with affected agencies. We will attend the County's fiscal review committee as prescribed pursuant to Section 33353. THE CONSULTANTS John C. Davis and Associates will carry out the Scope of Work described for the Rohnert Park Redevelopment Agency.
