Ms. Rachel Juba <br />April 2, 2021 <br />Page 5 <br />E. Development of Mitigation Alternatives <br />Based on the traffic analysis, mitigation alternatives will be developed and analyzed for <br />each studied roadway and concept. This will include development access concepts, as <br />well as additional roadway improvements required to accommodate the future traffic <br />projections. <br />Task 10 — Air Quality and Noise Analysis <br />This task will include qualitative, study level analysis of the air quality and noise impacts for the <br />AUAR study area for up to three concepts. It is not anticipated that a hot -spot air quality analysis <br />will be needed. A quantitative greenhouse gas emissions study is also not included as it is not <br />expected that the Development Concepts will exceed the threshold for requiring one as recently <br />recommended by the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). However, a qualitative analysis will be <br />conducted to consider how development of the area may contribute to climate change. Mitigation <br />items for air quality and noise may be recommended in the AUAR. <br />Task 11 — Prepare and Submit Draft AUAR and Mitigation Plan <br />This task includes compiling the information prepared in the previous tasks into the draft AUAR <br />and mitigation plan based on the guidance provided from the EQB. The mitigation plan will be <br />formatted like a checklist to aid in future development review of the study area. This task <br />assumes one round of review and revision with City staff and the property owner. Once <br />distribution of the AUAR has been authorized by the City Council, the draft AUAR will be <br />submitted to the required agencies for a 30-day review. <br />Task 12 — Respond to Comments, Revise the AUAR, Update the Mitigation Plan, and <br />Resubmit for Review <br />This effort will involve revising the AUAR document and mitigation measures based on the <br />comments received during the 30-day review process and responding to these comments. This <br />task assumes that the comments will not require additional significant analysis as part of the <br />AUAR. This task assumes one round of review and revision with the City staff and the property <br />owner. <br />Once distribution of the revised Final AUAR has been authorized, WSB will submit the document <br />to the agencies for the 10-working day review. If no objections are filed, the City can adopt the <br />AUAR document and mitigation plan. <br />Task 13 — Adopt AUAR and Mitigation Plan <br />This task includes preparing the documentation for the City Council to adopt the AUAR and <br />mitigation plan as well as sending out the final AUAR and notices once adopted. By adopting the <br />AUAR, the City adopts the mitigation measures outlined in the AUAR and agrees to abide by <br />these measures as development occurs. It should be noted that the AUAR is required to be <br />updated every five (5) years until all development is approved within the study area. <br />SCHEDULE <br />The AUAR process is expected to be completed in approximately 9-12 months. The table on the <br />following page provides a general outline of the process, which can be refined upon authorization. <br />GA.Clients A11\Hugo\Proposa1s\2021 LaValle AUAR\LTR - RJuba - LaValle AUAR - 040221.docx <br />
