REVIEWED BY DEPT.OF FINANCE
Scope of Work
Applied Planning's proposed work program presents a process which will result in the preparation
of an accurate and complete Enviromnental Impact Report(EIR) pursuant to State law, the CEQA
Guidelines, and the City of Palm Springs environmental procedures. The EIR will draw from
existing environmental documentation to the extent feasible, including resources within Applied
Planning's extensive library of documents from our past work in the vicinity of the project. Upon
completion of a technical adequacy review,the studies prepared by the members of the proponent's
project team will form the basis for the discussions of the following issues in the EIR: land use,
traffic, air quality, noise, biology, and aesthetics.
The EIR will address the enviromnental effects of the project in proportion to their severity and
probability of occurrence, concentrating on areas of special concern identified in the Initial Study
and in response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP). The EIR will provide a full disclosure of all
significant effects of the proposed project.
Sections for each of the teclurical issues in the EIR will include the following major headings:
Introduction,Enviromnental Setting,Existing Policies and Regulations, Standards of Significance,
Impacts and Mitigation Measures, and Cumulative Impacts. For each impact, the EIR will clearly
identify the level of significance of that impact. Impacts will be identified as potentially significant,
potentially significant unless mitigation incorporated,or less-than-significant. Mitigation measures
will be identified where required for all identified impacts and the level of significance after
mitigation will be stated under a separate subheading.
The EIR will be prepared to meet all standards of legal adequacy and edited to ensure straightforward
conummication. Maps, drawings, and photographs will be provided in a consistent format
throughout the report. The project and its alternatives will be depicted with the use of graphics
which will also display environmental data and support the discussion of impacts and mitigation
measures for the proposed project.
The work program provides an analytical framework to accurately and completely assess the
environmental effects of the proposed project. The range of issues is broad, including natural
resource topics; plamiing issues, such as land use; air quality and noise issues; and infrastructure
issues, such as traffic and circulation.
The following paragraphs describe Applied Planning's proposed work tasks to complete the
preparation of the FIR for the proposed commercial center.

TASK 1: EIR INITIATION MEETINGS
In addition to attending up to four (4) meetings/hearings throughout the course of the project,
Applied Planning's management team for the EIR will attend a series of meetings early in the
process with City staff and, if requested by the City, the applicant's representative to clarify
expectations,refine the work plan,exchange information and present specifics on our recommended
approach to the project. The needs of the City of Palm Springs, the project proponent, and other
interested agencies and the public will be discussed to ensure that all relevant issues are clearly
defined at the outset and are addressed in the EIR. Concurrence will be reached on the project
description,alternatives,and the need for any additional technical studies. The project schedule will
be discussed and refined, as necessary, to reflect agreements and understandings reached in these
meetings. Based on the outcome of these meetings, Applied Planning will prepare a refined EIR
schedule,identifying critical data needs and associated delivery dates necessary to attain the agreed
upon schedule.
Applied Planning will prepare a detailed Initial Study for the project. Upon affirmation of the project
description, Applied Planning, Inc. will prepare a thorough CEQA evaluation of the project using
the City's Initial Study CEQA checklist form. Answers to all responses will be qualified with the
appropriate level of discussion.
Additionally,Applied Planking will prepare a Notice of Preparation(NOP)for the project using the
City's NOP format. These items will be provided to City staff for review and comment. The
documents will be distributed by the consultant based on City provided mailing distribution list.

TASK 2: ENVIRONMENTAL DATA COLLECTION
Applied Planning will collect and develop the data necessary for use in the enviromnental analysis.
It is assumed that the project team has already collected a significant amount of baseline information,
and therefore, Applied Planning will coordinate with City staff to obtain this data from the
applicant's team members as a starting point for directing the data collection effort. Important steps
in this task will include a review of existing information sources and technical studies supplied by
the proponent, field review of the site and surrounding areas, and a survey of area land uses.
An essential part of the data gathering effort will be to review existing technical studies for adequacy
and completeness. This scope of work assumes that the technical studies provided under separate

contract will provide the essential information needed for the related EIR sections, including
information on existing conditions, impacts and mitigation. The teclmical studies include:
■ Retail Shopping Center-Traffic Impact Analysis, Endo Engineering, (3.02)
■ Retail Shopping Center Air Quality and Noise Impact Study,Endo Engineering, (3.02)
■ Cultural Resources Assessment, CRM Tech, (2.02)
■ Biological Assessment and Impact Analysis of the Retail Site,James W. Cornett Ecological
Consultants, (02.02)
■ Economic Impact Analysis, Natelson Company, (04.02)
Additionally, a range of existing enviromnental documents developed and published by local and
regional jurisdictions will be reviewed, including, but not limited to:
■ The City of Palm Springs General Plan
0 The City of Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance
■ The City of Palm Springs Municipal Code
■ Initial Study for Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse
It is assumed that numerous other relevant documents will be collected during this phase of the
project. Applied Plarming will review these documents and relevant information will be
incorporated into the EIR.
As part of this task, Applied Plamring will also contact certain key agencies and City departments
to gather information on existing conditions and to clarify policies and regulations relevant to the
project. Letters with specific questions will be sent out early in the process and will be followed up
by telephone calls,and if needed,meetings to ensure timely receipt of baseline information essential
to the EIR.

■ Complete and adequate technical studies
TASK 3: PREPARATION OF SCRIEENCHECK DRAFT EIR
The Applied Planning team will prepare the Screencheck Draft EIR (SDEIR) in accordance with
CEQA and City regulations and guidelines. The document will provide a full analysis of the project
in the impact and mitigation chapter of the EIR as well as an analysis of the project alternatives in
a separate chapter of the EIR. Each section of the report will include all statutory sections required
by CEQA. The docrnnent will include a project description, setting, impacts, thresholds of
significance, and mitigation measures for each of the environmental issues, and a complete list of
authors responsible for the environmental analysis. Sections will also include a heading on relevant
plans and regulations that would serve to reduce the potential impacts of the project..
Applied Planning, Inc. Scope of Work(revised 41122102)
Patin Springs Retail Commercial Project Page 3
The impact analyses will state impacts for each project option and will differentiate between the site-
specific effects of the project and the ctunulative effects associated with the project. The analysis
will also identify impacts associated with individual phases of the proposed project which may differ
from build-out. The determination of what constinites a significant impact will be clarified by the
use of standards of significance. It is iirtended that these standards be reviewed by the City prior to
preparation of the EIR. Where existing plans, policies and regulations serve to mitigate impacts,
they will be considered prior to determining an impact's significance. This will avoid overstatement
of the project's impacts and the development and monitoring of unnecessary mitigation measures.
Mitigation measures will be as specific as practical, emphasizing responsibility and timing for both
implementation and monitoring of mitigation. Prior to completion of the Screencheck Draft EIR,
Applied Planning will meet with the City to review proposed mitigation measures. For each
significant impact, the level of significance following mitigation will be stated. The cumulative
impacts will be specified as to their degree of severity in individual sections of the EIR, cross-
referenced where required between sections,and summarized in a separate section of the document.
A summary table of impacts and mitigation measures will be prepared in a fashion that is easily
adaptable for use by the City in adopting findings.
A discussion of the methodologies and approach for the analysis of each of the environmental topics
in the SDEIR is presented at the end of the Work Program description. Five(5)copies of the SDEIR
will be delivered for review by City staff.
Products
■ Pre-approved standards of significance
■ Internal review of mitigation measures

TASK 4: PREPARATION OF THE DRAFT EIR
Following review by the City,Applied Planning will revise the SDEIR and produce the Draft EIR.
Fifty (50) copies of the Draft EIR and Technical Appendices will be submitted to the City for
distribution. The Draft FIR and Notice of Completion will also be submitted to the State
Clearinghouse and the County, initiating the 45-day public comment period.
Applied Planning will prepare a Notice of Completion using the City's format. The documents will
be distributed by the consultant based on a City-provided mailing distribution list. Applied Planning
will ensure that the appropriate number of copies of the Draft EIR are filed with the State
Clearinghouse, and also sent to responsible and interested agencies. City staff will be responsible
for the necessary notices announcing the public hearing and the availability of documents to be
published in a major local newspaper serving the study area.

TASK 8: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
At the beginning of the project,Applied Planning,through coordination with the City planning staff
and the applicant's team members, will compile a list of all potentially involved departments and
agencies. During the course of the environmental analysis, Applied Planning will assume
responsibility for coordinating with these respective agencies. Thus,the environmental analysis will
incorporate all the appropriate department and agency input in order to expedite the process of
environmental certification and approval.
Applied Planning's Project Manager will maintain routine contact with City project planners and the
applicant's team members. Applied Planning's management team will be responsible for
coordination of all consultant team members and staff. Where appropriate, Applied Planning will
utilize the expertise of City staff and the applicant's team members to confirm assumptions and
methodologies, to provide input in formulating key mitigation measures, and to verify major
conclusions.
ANALYSIS OF KEY ISSUES
Land Use
A complete discussion of land use will be included in the EIR. This discussion will include a
description of existing land use patterns in and around the project site, existing zoning and General
Plan designations,and applicable policies and plans. The impact analysis will focus on internal and
external land use compatibility issues and project consistency with local and regional plans and
policies. More specifically, this section of the EIR will include the following:
■ The land use context for the project will be established by surveying the area and providing
maps and descriptions of current land use patterns at the project site and in the immediate
vicinity.
■ The characteristics of the project will be compared and evaluated for conformance with the
City of Palm Springs General Plan and other related planning documents. Any potential
conflicts and/or land use impacts will be discussed.
• As a part of the land use analysis, the characteristics of the existing site and surrounding
development will be described and the changes associated with the proposed project will be
evaluated. The proposed project's compatibility with the character of the area will be
examined in order to help determine the appropriateness of the proposed uses. Particular
attention will be given to potential conflicts between proposed land uses and existing and
planned uses in the vicinity.
• Potential land use impacts related to changes in the intensity of land uses on the project site
will be described. Changes in land use associated with the proposed project as well as
cmmulative projects will be discussed in relation to existing land uses and current land use
policies. !!AA

Applied Planning, Inc. Scope of Work(revised 41122102)
Patin Springs Retail Commercial Project Page 6
• The potential economic effects on the overall retail market area will also be analyzed. The
extent that the project could have physical impacts on existing retail centers within the area
will also be discussed.
■ If significant effects are discovered, mitigation measures will be proposed to achieve land
use compatibility and conformance with applicable land use policies.
■ For informational purposes, a discussion of the employment characteristics of the project
including the primary and perceived secondary job generation will be included in the land
use section.
Biological Resources
A Biological Resources analysis will be included to identify and assess the significance of the
biological resources that are present on the project site.
The analysis will draw from recently completed biological investigations of the site prepared by
James W. Cornett, and will describe the biological resources within the project area in terms of
vegetation and wildlife habitat for resident and migratory species, and habitat for rare, threatened,
endangered, or otherwise sensitive species. Measures to reduce impacts upon biological resources
will be incorporated into the EIR as mitigation,and the full text of the Biological Resources Survey
will be appended to the EIR.
Transportation/Circulation
This EIR is based upon use of the traffic study recently prepared for this project by Endo
Engineering. Tom Mitchell T.E., Applied Planning's Director of Transportation Services, will
review this traffic study for accuracy mid completeness. Minor adjustments, modifications, or
enhancements will be made accordingly, if necessary. If major revisions are needed (such as trip
generation adjustments and subsequently required revised traffic projections, level of service
analyses, or assessment of impacts and mitigation measures), then such a recommendation will be
made. The revisions,whether minor or major,will be made independently,although it is anticipated
that discussion will be held with Endo Engineering using proper City protocols.
The traffic study that will be incorporated into the EIR will be consistent with the traffic study
requirements of the City and the Coachella Valley Associates of Govermnents. Upon conclusion
of the independent review process,the entire traffic study will be appended to the EIR. The specific
tasks will include:
■ Review the Palm Springs Retail Commercial Project Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by
Endo Engineering.
• Identification of all potential environmental effects including the changes between build-out
at the maximum potential development and the existing conditions.
0 Verify the appropriateness and effectiveness of the proposed mitigation measures.
■ Substantiation of the conclusions. ♦ 08

Noise
Endo Engineering has prepared a noise analysis of the project. This study will be independently
reviewed by Applied Planning. Measures recommended to reduce noise impacts will be
incorporated into the EIR as mitigation. The full noise study will be appended to the EIR.
To adequately address the issues concerning noise within the project site, the following scope of
work will be undertaken.
■ Introduce the relevant noise rating schemes and their significance in quantifying the acoustic
environment.
■ Discuss noise fundamentals including: typical noise levels, sound propagation with distance
from point sources versus line sources, physical and psychological responses to sound, and
conummity responses to noise.
■ Identify land uses that are sensitive to noise and discuss harmful effects of noise.
■ Identify and discuss the land use compatibility guidelines established by the City of Palm
Springs.
■ Quantify existing noise levels adjacent to master planned roadways within the study area
(based upon the traffic volumes provided in the traffic study and the computerized Federal
Highway Administration Highway Traffic Noise Model RD 77-108).
■ Document in tabular form the noise levels at 100 feet from the roadway centerlines, as well as
the distances to the 60, 65 and 70 CNEL contours. Discuss potential construction-related
short-term noise impacts.
■ Develop projections for future noise levels adjacent to master planned roadways based upon
future traffic volume projections with and without the proposed project provided in the traffic
study (using the RD-77-108 computer model).
■ Identify those locations where significant noise increases are expected to occur and discuss the
significance of project-related motor vehicle noise increases.
■ General mitigation measures for the proposed project will be identified as appropriate.
Air Quality
Endo Engineering has prepared an air quality study for the project. The complete air quality analysis
will be appended to the EIR. Specifically, the review will undertake the following:
■ Determine if the air quality study complies with local and CEQA requirements.
(0,49
Applied Planning, Inc. Scope of Work(revised 41122102)
Patin Springs Retail Commercial Project Page 8
■ Review the methodologies and emission factors used in the air quality study to determine if
the input parameters and assumptions are consistent with those approved by the South Coast
Air Quality Management District.
■ Review the conclusions and the mitigation measures to determine if the findings are supported
by the analysis.
■ Assure incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures into the proposed project.
Aesthetics, Light and Glare
Development within the project area will introduce new light sources,including signage and parking
lot lights, in an area that is currently undeveloped. The visual impact of the proposed project will
need to be evaluated. The following describes the tasks to be undertaken.
■ Applied Planning will conduct a field reconnaissance to establish the visual setting of the
project site and vicinity. Existing conditions and views will be documented with photographs.
■ The EIR will include a textual evaluation of the visual relationship of the project to the
surrounding area, and identify any impacts of the proposed project. The EIR will address
issues of landform modification and general visual qualities.
■ The changes in the visual characteristics of the site that would result from project
implementation will be described in the EIR.
■ The EIR will evaluate impacts associated with increased light and glare generated by project
development, especially potential effects on nearby uses.
■ For each significant environmental effect identified, the EIR will propose project-specific
mitigation measures to diminish identified impacts. It is anticipated that mitigation measures
for visual impacts will largely consist of proposed measures to be followed in the design of the
project.
Cumulative Impacts
Impacts that are individually limited,but that may be cinnulatively considerable, will be addressed
in the EIR. The relationship of this project to other developments planned or proposed in the vicinity
of the project area will be discussed. These related projects may create impacts that become
significant in their cumulative effects. Cumulative impacts will be discussed on a local, and/or
regional level, depending on the area influenced by the cumulative effect of the specific
environmental issue. The project's contribution to cumulative impacts will be identified, and
reasonable mitigation measures will be established where they are necessary and feasible.
Statutory CEQA Tonics
In addition to the specific environmental impacts described above,the following general topics will
be discussed as required by CEQA:
Applied Planning, Inc. Scope of Work(revised 41122102)
Palm Springs Retail Connnercial Project Page 9
■ Growth-Inducing Impacts. The growth-inducing potential of the project will be addressed.
Ways in which the proposed project could foster population or economic growth, either
directly or indirectly,in the City and the adjacent cities will be discussed. The potential for this
project to facilitate or encourage the development of adjoining or nearby land will also be
addressed.
■ Irreversible Environmental Changes. Any irreversible environmental changes that would
result from the implementation of the proposed project will be discussed, including the
commitment of any non-renewable resources.
■ Adverse Environmental Effects Which Cannot Be Avoided If The Project is
Implemented. In this section of the report, all adverse impacts, including those which can be
reduced to an insignificant level but not eliminated, will be summarized. Where there are
impacts that cannot be eliminated without imposing an alterative project design, their
implications and the reasons why ithe project is being proposed notwithstanding their effects,
will be discussed.
■ Short-Term Uses of Man's Environment Versus Long-Term Productivity. The benefits
and implications associated with the short-term uses of the site will be compared to its long-
term productivity. Ways in which the proposed project will commit future generations of
residents to specific land use and circulation patterns will be discussed. In addition, the
reasons why the proponent feels the project should be carried out now rather than reserving the
site for future options will be explained.
Alternatives
The analysis of alternatives is an important element of the EIR process. The selection and discussion
of alternatives fosters informed decision-making and informed public participation by examining
feasible project alternatives which may result in the avoidance or reduction of adverse impacts.
Three alternatives will be evaluated including the "no project" alterative. The selection of
alternatives, all of which will be substantially different from the proposed project, will be made in
consultation with the City staff early in the process. The alternatives will be discussed in a separate
chapter of the EIR.
Mitigation Monitoring Program
Applied Planning will develop a Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Program (MMCP) in
conformance with City standards and State-mandated requirements. The MMCP will establish
agency and department responsibility for monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures and
will describe the timing/frequency of both monitoring and reporting. The MMCP will be organized
in table format and mitigation measures will be identified according to impact category and
numbered for ease of reference.
