PMC will provide a written analysis explaining that the changes to the Housing Element are"...minor technical changes or additions and that none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR...have occurred." It is assumed that PMC will provide a brief discussion of each of the new or revised policies/programs to demonstrate that implementation of these policies/programs would not result in physical effects which were not previously considered.The addendum will also provide a comparison of the housing assumed in the General Plan EIR with that identified in the Housing Element update. PMC does not assume preparation of an Initial Study checklist. An addendum need not be circulated for public review.The City would adopt findings based on the addendum (or simply attach the addendum analysis to the resolution) at the time the Housing Element is considered. PMC will begin preparation of the addendum during preparation of the public review draft Housing Element. This will ensure that the project being analyzed is clear but can be updated if subsequent changes are incorporated. PMC assumes approximately three weeks for preparation of the administrative draft addendum. TASK 11: PROJECT MANAGEMENT PMC will ensure regular communication with City staff via phone and e-mail as needed. PMC suggests setting up monthly conference calls to discuss any outstanding items and next steps for the project. TASK 12:TRIBAL COORDINATION (SB 18) PMC will support City staff with tribal coordination pursuant to the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 18. PMC will prepare a letter to the Native American Heritage Commission to identify and support the protection of any traditional tribal cultural places. Drawing on our experience coordinating with tribal governments to understand Native American issues in past Housing Elements,we will also help City staff address special housing needs,constraints, and policies for Native American communities as appropriate in the Housing Element update. PMC will provide a draft SB 18 letter and address tribal topics in the Housing Element update, as appropriate.
