Proposal First Cdulxni Concord Naval Weapons Station Reuse Project EIR Addendum,City of Concord. In 2006,the City initiated a three-phase,multiyear process to develop a Reuse Plan for the Concord Naval Weapons Station. Following certification of the associated Final EIR and adoption of the Reuse Plan,the City initiated preparation of an Area Plan. The Area Plan is an implementing format for amendment of the Concord 2030 General Plan to include the vision of the Reuse Plan. The Addendum has been prepared to assess impact differences between the Reuse Plan and the Area Plan that are based on the Final EIR and to determine whether,and to what extent,the Reuse Plan Final EIR is sufficient for addressing impacts and providing mitigations for the Concord Reuse Project Area Plan. Environmental Impact Report Addendum for a Downtown Mixed Use Project, City of Santa Rosa. FCS was retained to prepare an addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report(EIR)for a downtown Mixed-Use Project(DMUP), including the White House and Rises sites in Santa Rosa. The project included a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change,and comprises two 12-story structures with ground-floor retail and above- ground parking. The development of the White House site included 182 dwelling units, 16,050 square feet of retail,and 750 parking spaces. Development of the Rises site included 96 dwelling units, 15,090 square feet of retail,and 96 parking spaces. In addition to the Addendum,General Plan Amendment,and Zone Change; FCS provided a thorough discussion of the modifications to the DMUP as they related to the development of the project sites to ensure the legal adequacy and defensibility of the changes to the project sites and to ensure the project was in compliance with CEQA and City of Santa Rosa guidelines and regulations. Addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration for Napa Junction, City of American Canyon. FCS prepared an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration for Phase II of the Napa Junction Mixed-Use Project in American Canyon. The project consists of a three-phase commercial retail and residential development on State Route 29 and Phase II included a Wal-Mart Supercenter. The original Mitigated Negative Declaration was the subject of a legal challenge and was found to be inadequate by a state judge in 2006. FCS was retained by the City of American Canyon to correct the inadequacies in the document. The judge ruled in May 2007 that the Addendum to the original Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately corrected the inadequacies and allowed the project to move forward. Environmental Impact Report Addendum for the College Park Mixed-Use Project, City of Upland. FCS was contracted to prepare the College Park Project Environmental Impact Report(EIR)and EIR Addendum,a 39- acre mixed-use project in the City of Upland. A strategic approach with consultation and public information/participation as a key element was pursued prior to EIR project initiation based on recognition of agency consultation and coordination as critical to project success. Key issues addressed in the EIR include land use,transportation/circulation,geology and soils,hydrology and water quality,air quality,and noise. The proximity of the project site to the Claremont Colleges and the Montclair Transit Center supported and reinforced pedestrian/bike/transit use,with linkages to these destinations integrated in the site design. The residential product is oriented to serve the college market,both students and faculty. After certification of the EIR,an Addendum was prepared to address the environmental effects of eliminating approved hotel and office-professional uses in the northwest portion of the site,and substituting single-family detached homes. The Addendum to the certified Final EIR was subsequently adopted. Environmental Impact Report Addendum Bakersfield Pacific Gas and Electric Electrical Facilities, City of Bakersfield.
