Subject: BRE Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal
Dear Mr. McClain,
t No. 5749
We are pleased to submit this proposal for the preparation of environmental documentation for the proposed
Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Mariposa Specific Plan Project (project) in the City of EI Segundo (City). Based on
our understanding of the project, Dudek is proposingthe preparation of an environmental impact report (EIR) to
comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.
Dudek Senior Project Manager Kristin Starbird will manage this EIR, bringing her proven track record of
exceptional client service and commitment to excellence to this important project. She was the senior project
manager for the largest land development project in Los Angeles County in recent years; the Centennial Specific
Plan Project EIR, which was approved in 2018 and included development of 10 million square feet of non-
residential development with 19,333 residential units. She has completed numerous CEQA documents for high-
profile urban mixed-use redevelopment projects, including the Aviation Station Mixed -Use Project EIR, Fullerton
Transportation Center Specific Plan EIR, and the Beach and Orangethorpe (The Source) Mixed -Use Specific Plan
Project EIR. Using her successful experience with high-profile and complex projects, Ms. Starbird will prepare a
comprehensive EIR for this project that meets all City standards.
Dudek is submitting this proposal to conduct the CEQA documentation only. Dudek is ready to assist the City in
the environmental review process for this project and can begin preparation of the EIR and required technical
analyses upon receipt of a written notice to proceed. Our team's experience navigating projects through the CEQA
process will help us deliver this environmental documentation on time and within budget.
We look forward to the opportunity to assist you with this important project. If you have any questions or
comments, please contact Ms. Starbird by phone at 626.204.9839 or by email at kstarbird@dudek.com.
Sincerely,

The Dudek Advantage
Focused on California's Municipalities
Dudek is a California-based environmental firm with more than 400
planners, scientists, facilitators, and support staff statewide. We assist
municipalities on a broad range of projects that improve California's
communities, infrastructure, and natural environment. From planning,
design, and permitting through construction, we move projects forward
through the complexities of regulatory compliance, budgetary and
schedule constraints, and conflicting stakeholder interests.
We have a long history of providing California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) services to municipalities in the Los Angeles
region. We know the local environmental resources and agency
policies for resource management, development, impact
assessment, and mitigation.
We specialize in planning and executing the following:

DUDEK
Environmental Services
Dudek has prepared more than 2,800 environmental documents in compliance with CEQA/NEPA for large and
small projects throughout California, in addition to managing the environmental review process for many local
agencies on a contractual basis. Documents we prepare, initiate, and process include environmental impact
reports (EIRs), statements of overriding consideration, findings of fact, mitigated negative declarations, negative
declarations, initial studies (ISs), categorical or statutory exemptions per CEQA; as well as environmental impact
statements, environmental assessments, categorical exclusions, and findings of no significant impact per NEPA.
Our team of scientists, planners, landscape architects, economists, and engineers has reviewed hundreds of
technical reports to certify that the analyses in CEQA documents are technically accurate and legally sound. We
incorporate public comments regarding the potential impacts of a project on the natural and built environments,
and as required by CEQA/NEPA, we analyze ways in which any identified significant effects/impacts of the project
can be avoided or mitigated. Dudek prepares complete and legally defensible environmental review documents
supported by substantial evidence, and we have never had a CEQA document successfully challenged in court.
Dudek staff has a comprehensive understanding of CEQA/NEPA regulations. Dudek understands how to tier analyses
from existing program -level environmental documents, thereby streamlining the environmental review process and
recognizing schedule and budget efficiencies. The Dudek team has participated in all aspects of the environmental
review process and will perform the scope of work tasks by implementing the following:
+ Process management for all stages, starting with preparation, release, and management of the Notice of
Preparation (NOP) scoping process
• Attendance at public scoping meeting(s)
• Environmental document drafts and associated technical analyses preparation (e.g., air quality,
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, noise, cultural) and peer review of Applicant's studies/plans
• City staff and consultant discourse to provide input relating to CEQA procedures, requirements and

Challenges to CEQA
CEQA documents are often subject to legal challenge. Dudek staff knows the procedural and substantive law that
is critical for a legally defensible CEQA analysis. Our broad experience preparing CEQA documents for particularly
contentious projects gives us an invaluable legal perspective. We understand firsthand the significant costs and
risks of CEQA litigation, as well as the critical importance of preventive planning. We provide clients with practical
and effective advice for strengthening EIRs and other CEQA documents based on our knowledge and experience
from handling the full range of CEQA cases in our analyses. Dudek has a proven record of accomplishment
working closely with the City Attorney's Office to prepare legally defensible CEQA documents.

Representative Project Experience
Dudek and proposed project personnel have completed numerous infill and other mixed-use development
environmental documents throughout Southern California. Following is a representative sample of projects
completed by the firm and the staff members proposed for the City's project that illustrate our ability to provide
the services required to prepare an EIR for the BRE Mixed Use Specific Plan Project.
Robertson Lane Hotel FIR
Chent: City of West Hollywood
Dudek prepared an EIR for a project that involved demolishing several
buildings (including historic age structures) to construct a 500,000 -
square -foot building that includes a 251 -room hotel, restaurants,
retail stores, design showroom, and associated amenities. The project
involves construction of a three- to nine -story multiuse hotel building
in the West Hollywood Design District, including a 241 -room hotel,
restaurants, retail stores, design showroom, and associated
amenities. The proposed project adaptively reuses portions of the
historic factory building that will be incorporated into the building design along Robertson Boulevard. Key issues
evaluated in the EIR include historic resources, transportation and traffic, noise, air quality, and GHG emissions.
Covina Forward Pr ec EIR/CE
Client: City of Covina
Dudek prepared an EIR for a project that involved a General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan to develop a
mixed-use transit -oriented development project. The proposed project consists of three primary components: (1) a
Transit Center and Park and Ride facility; (2) the Covina Innovation, Technology, and Event Center (ITEC)—an
event center and professional office/business incubator space; and (3) residential townhome units. The project
required review under both CEQA and NEPA; consequently, an EIR and categorical exclusion were both prepared.
Key issues for this project were noise, traffic, and parking. Dudek presented the environmental review process at
all city hearings. The project was completed on an accelerated schedule of 7 months and under the originally
allocated budget.
78-1"1 Santa Monica Boulevard EIR
Client: City of West Hollywood
Dudek prepared an EIR for a project that involved a 78 -room hotel, restaurant, 88 residential units, and an art
gallery. The seven -story multi -use building would include three subterranean levels of parking with 264 parking
spaces. Construction of the proposed project would involve demolition of the existing 10,000 -square -foot
commercial building, multiple parking lots, and a multifamily structure. Key issues associated with this project
include traffic impacts to residential roadways and congested intersections, air quality, and noise and vibration
construction impacts to adjacent sensitive receptors, including residences and a preschool.

..,....�u...r�.Page 7
\,,larnott Residence Inn Pr ect EIR
Client.. City of Pasadena
Dudek prepared an EIR for an extended -stay hotel project at a
gateway intersection into Old Town Pasadena. The five -story, 144 -
room hotel was constructed to address a shortage of hotel rooms for
visitors after the city opened its expanded Convention Center. Key
project issues included the addition of more traffic on local streets
and Interstate 210; pedestrian and bicycle circulation; air quality and
noise impacts during construction and operation due to the project
site's proximity to Interstate 210; land use compatibility with
surrounding office, institutional, and commercial uses; proximity to
historical resources and the Old Pasadena Historic District; and
visual and aesthetic impacts.
Los Angeles Medical Center Master Plan EIR
Client. Kaiser Permanente
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
Dudek is currently preparing an EIR for redevelopment of the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center
campus. The project would proceed under a Master Plan/Development Plan Permit for Los Angeles Medical
Center. The primary goal is to replace inefficient and aged medical office buildings and address medical provider
deficits in member communities by re -allocating providers and services on this campus, as well as distributing
medical services to adjacent communities. The project is proposed to be implemented in four phases and would
include new and/or replacement medical office buildings and/or parking. The project consists of 277,000
building gross square feet on an approximately 15.34 -acre campus. The net change in the Medical Office Building
and/or hospital floor area would be 89,000 building gross square feet at the Los Angeles Medical Center campus.
It is anticipated that approvals required for the project may include, but are not limited to, the following:
certification of the final EIR; site plan review; demolition permits; haul route approval; grading, excavation,
foundation, and associated building permits; project permit compliance approval; a conditional use permit;
Specific Plan amendment; and other entitlements and approvals as deemed necessary and as required by the
City of Los Angeles to implement the project. Unique issues for this project are aesthetics, noise, traffic, and
community engagement. Extensive public outreach is being conducted as a part of the overall CEQA process.
Green Hotel Apartments Project EIR
Client. City of Pasadena
Dudek prepared an EIR for a proposed six -story commercial and residential infill project, providing 5,000 square feet
of commercial/retail space and 64 residential units. The project is adjacent to the existing National Register of
Historic Places -listed Green Hotel Apartments and Castle Green, which generated a number of community concerns
associated with the project design, proximity to these treasured resources, and the potential design compatibility of
the new project with the historic buildings. Key issues evaluated in the EIR included impacts to historical resources,
views/aesthetics and impacts to visual character associated with the loss of a mature tree canopy, traffic and
circulation, and air quality and noise impacts associated with the project site's proximity to sensitive land uses.

Chent: City of West Hollywood
Dudek prepared an EIR for a project that involved a 2 -acre, mixed-use
project site occupied by the House of Blues and 25 vacant apartment
units on Sunset Boulevard. The proposed project includes construction of
up to 40 residential condominium units, 5 low-income affordable housing
units, a 149 -room hotel, and over 35,000 square feet of commercial and
entertainment space. Key issues addressed in the CEQA document
included geology and soils, traffic and parking, light and glare, height, air
quality, and noise.
Client: City of Santa Monica
Anticipating the arrival of the Exposition Light Rail Station at 4th
Street and Colorado Avenue, Santa Monica's Downtown Specific
Plan outlines the policy objectives and development standards for
downtown Santa Monica. The Downtown Specific Plan provides a
proactive strategy for downtown Santa Monica to continue to evolve
into a more accessible, multimodal, pedestrian -friendly district that
services the needs of a diverse community while integrating the
western terminus station of the Exposition Light Rail. The guiding
principles are centered on the core sustainability goal of the Land
Use and Circulation Element to accommodate change near transit to
preserve residential zones while contributing, through transportation demand management and infrastructure
improvements, to the citywide goal of No Net New PM Peak Hour trips. The proposed plan will put forth policies
and incentives that enhance the everyday downtown experience and function. Dudek currently serves as an
extension of the City of Santa Monica staff to coordinate and manage the overall project team and project. Dudek
is responsible for reviewing EIR sections, confirming the accurate analysis of the Downtown Specific Plan in the
EIR, and ensuring the project is on schedule and within the allocated budget.

Dudek proposed to prepare the EIR for the proposed project. The State Office of Administrative Law has approved
the proposed changes to state guidelines for implementing the CEQA, which were adopted by the Secretary of the
California Natural Resources Agency in November 2018. As such, the California Natural Resources Agency has
amended the CEQA Guidelines. The changes involve nearly 30 different sections of the CEQA Guidelines,
addressing nearly every step of the environmental review process, including changes to the Appendix G Checklist.
Dudek is well versed in the revised CEQA Guidelines and implications for the proposed EIR and will structure the
EIR to incorporate all relevant changes.

Scope of Work
Task 1 Project Initiation, Description, and Technical Reports
Subtask 1.1 Pr ect Initiation and Description
The Dudek team will attend one kickoff meeting with representatives from the City to confirm the approach to the
CEQA documentation. In preparation for the EIR kickoff meeting, Dudek will prepare support materials, including
an agenda, preliminary schedule, and comprehensive data needs list. The purpose of the meeting is to compile
the relevant background data and reports, clearly define the project description, discuss important assumptions
for achievingthe project schedule, confirm all anticipated discretionary actions, confirm communication and
protocols for ongoing coordination, and discuss issues and concerns that the City determines to be important
issues for EIR analysis.
Dudek will provide the Applicant with a list of data needs, including requests for information on the construction -
related activities and phasing assumptions and construction/occupancy schedule. Using available information
from the Specific Plan, Dudek will prepare a draft project description, including the following: (1) environmental
setting overview and existing site uses and operations, (2) short-term construction phasing plan and construction
methods, (3) long-term operations activities, (4) maps of the project location and site plans for the key project
components, and (5) list of discretionary actions and required permit approvals. Dudek will submit the project
description electronically for review. This task assumes that revisions to the project description based on any
provided comments will be incorporated into the first draft EIR (Task 3.1).
Subt,ask -12- Peei- Review of Technical Reports
Dudek will perform a peer review of provided technical studies to confirm whether the documents are adequate
for the purposes of the EIR for up to 20 hours of professional staff time to be conducted by the project manager
and/or other senior specialists, as appropriate. This task assumes that the following reports will be provided by
the Applicant and that any revisions that may be require are the responsibility of the authoring consultant.
Alternately, updated or supplemental information for the technical studies may be completed by Dudek for a
scope/budget augment:
• Geotechnical engineering investigation
• Phase I environmental site assessment or other hazards assessment documentation
• Engineer's hydrology analysis demonstrating compliance with Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation
Plan/Low Impact Development and City's requirements
• Traffic impact report
• Utility infrastructure adequacy analysis (water/sewer pipelines, electricity, natural gas, cable)
Dudek will provide the Applicant with a clear list of comments and/or requested revisions to ensure that the
documents are adequate for the purposes of CEQA.
SubtasIN, 1.3 Cultural Resources Technical Report
Records Search. Dudek will begin by conducting a California Historical Resources Information Systems records
search of the project area and a 0.5 -mile radius at the South Central Coastal Information Center, which houses
cultural resource records for Los Angeles County. The purpose of the records search is to identify any previously
recorded cultural resources that may be located within the project area. In addition to a review of previously
BRE Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 13
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
prepared site records and reports, the records search will also review historical maps of the project area,
ethnographies, the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, the
California Historic Property Data File, and the lists of California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of
Historical Interest, and Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility.
Native American Coordination. Dudek will contact the California NAHC for a review of their Sacred Lands File. The
NAHC will determine if any NAHC-listed Native American sacred lands are located within or adjacent to the project
area. In addition, the NAHC will provide a list of Native American contacts for the project who should be contacted
for additional information. If instructed to do so by the lead agency, Dudek will prepare and mail a letter to each of
the NAHC-listed contacts, requesting that they contact us if they know of any Native American cultural resources
within or immediately adjacent to the project area. This Native American contact process is for project
informational purposes only and is not compliant with AB 52.
Assembly Bill 52: The proposed project is subject to compliance with AB 52, which requires lead agencies to
provide tribes (who have requested notification) with early notification of the proposed project and, if requested,
consultation to inform the CEQA process with respect to tribal cultural resources. While AB 52 is a government -to -
government process between the CEQA lead agency and California Native American tribes, Dudek will assist the
City with the notification process and responding to any comment letters (if requested).
Senate Bill 18: The project proposes a General Plan amendment and adoption of a Specific Plan and is therefore
subject to compliance with SB 18 consultation. While SB 18 is a government -to -government process between the
CEQA lead agency and Native American tribes, Dudek will assist the City with the outreach process and
responding to any comment letters (if requested). No in-person meetings with Native American groups are
included in this scope of work.
Survey,. Upon completion of the records search, Dudek will survey the project area for cultural resources. Because
the proposed project area is entirely developed with no exposed sediment, an archaeological survey is not
warranted. The built environment component of the survey will entail taking detailed notes and photographs of
one building over 45 years old (525 North Sepulveda Boulevard), including documentation of character defining
features, spatial relationships, landscaping, alterations, and the overall existing conditions of the property. The
survey will be restricted to the exterior of the buildings and grounds.
Record and EvMuuate Resources. Los Angeles County Assessor property records indicate that the existing building
complex within project Area 3 and 4 at 525 North Sepulveda Boulevard (AIN 4139-025-091), was built in 1961. It
appears that the building underwent a remodel c. 2000. Therefore, the existing building will require evaluation for
historical significance/integrity to determine if the proposed project has the potential to impact historical
resources, as defined by CEQA. The building will be recorded on State of California Department of Parks and
Recreation Series 523 Forms and will be evaluated in consideration of National Register of Historic Places,
California Register of Historical Resources, and City (Municipal Code Sec. 15-14-4) designation criteria and integrity
requirements. Should any additional resources be identified as a result of the survey requiring recordation and
evaluation a budget augment may be required to address the resources.
As part of this task, Dudek will conduct in-person building development research at the City to determine the
nature and extent of alterations that have been made to the property overtime, and retrieve information on any
previous owners/occupants. Dudek will also conduct archival research to develop the appropriate historic context
for the property significance evaluations. This may include visiting local libraries, archives, and contacting relevant
historical societies.

Recreation forms will be included as an appendix to the report. We assume no more than one draft and one final
version of the report will be required.
Task 1 Deliverables:
• Agenda, EIR schedule, and meeting minutes from the kickoff meeting
• Data needs list for construction and operational assumptions
• First draft project description for the EIR (MS Word and PDF)
• Peer review comments and requested revisions on Applicant -prepared technical reports and data
• Draft and Revised Cultural Resources Technical Report (MS Word and PDF)
Task 2 Initial Study, NOP, and Scoping Meeting
Prepare US/NOP and I alfling„ Upon receipt of all available information, Dudek will prepare an NOP and IS, using
the City -approved checklist format that is consistent with the procedural and substantive provisions of the CEQA
Guidelines. The IS/NOP will be used to narrow the focus of the environmental issues addressed in the EIR, as
appropriate. It is anticipated that the following CEQA issue areas will be sufficiently analyzed in the IS to allow
their scoping out from further analysis in the EIR: agriculture and forestry resources; biological resources; mineral
resources, and wildfire.
Dudek will prepare a first draft IS/NOP in electronic format. Upon receipt of comments, Dudek will revise accordingly
and submit a revised draft IS/NOP for final review before preparing the final IS/NOP for public review. It is
anticipated that comments received on the revised draft IS/NOP will be minimal and mostly editorial in nature.
Substantive comments requiring a second round of substantial edits will require an amendment to the budget
proposed. A print -ready copy of the final IS/NOP in electronic format (MS Word and PDF) will be submitted for review
and approval to print. Dudek will also prepare a draft and final NOC for submittal to the State Clearinghouse.
Once approved and printed, Dudek will distribute the NOP to responsible agencies and trustee agencies via
overnight delivery, and any other interested parties pursuant to the mailing list provided by the City via U.S. Postal
Service mail. It is assumed that a radius map will be provided to Dudek for the NOP mailing. The NOC and 15 copies
of the IS/NOP will be provided to the State Clearinghouse. Dudek will be responsible for transmittal of the Final NOP
to the Los Angeles County Clerk. This task assumes the City will be responsible for publication and associated fees
for the NOP in a local newspaper and that the Applicant will post a notice on site, if required. To consolidate the
overall project schedule, Dudek will begin preparation of the EIR during the 30 -day public review period.
Scoping Meeting, Dudek's project manager will attend and co -facilitate one scoping meeting for the project. At the
City's direction, Dudek can present an overview of the Specific Plan and project description and IS, the purpose of
the scoping meeting, provide an overview of the CEQA process, and answer questions raised by the public
regarding the CEQA process and/or general questions regarding technical and analytic methods. This task
includes preparation of a PowerPoint presentation that includes the CEQA process, summary of the NOP/IS, and
overview of the project description. It is assumed that the City will coordinate the logistics for the scoping meeting.
Dudek will prepare presentation materials describing or illustrating the project from the Specific Plan on up to
four graphic boards to place around the room. Dudek will provide relevant meeting materials, including comment

Task 3 Draft Environmental Impact Report
Dudek will coordinate with the City to confirm the City -preferred template and thresholds given the recent update to
the CEQA Guidelines. Dudek will prepare the first draft EIR, which will include the project description developed
under Task 1. The EIR will address the environmental issues in CEQA's Appendix G and will be formatted as follows:
Table of Contents., The table of contents will contain a list of EIR contents, including text discussions and lists of
tables and exhibits. It will also include a list of appendices that will be attached to the EIR.
Executive Summary., Pursuant to Section 15123 of the CEQA Guidelines, the summary will contain an overview of
the proposed project, including a list of required discretionary approvals. The summary will also include a
summary of impacts and mitigation measures, known areas of controversy including issues raised by agencies
and the public, and a summary of alternatives to the proposed project.
Introduction., The introduction section of the EIR will define the purpose, scope, and legislative authority of the
EIR, CEQA requirements, and other pertinent environmental rules and regulations. This section will also describe
the EIR process, structure, and required contents, as well as its relationship to other potential responsible or
trustee agencies. This section will include a description of land use and Specific Plan planning efforts completed
to date. A summary table of comment letters received on the NOP will be included in this section, with notation
about where the issue is addressed in the EIR. An overview of the EIR's format and content as well as processing
requirements will also be provided in this introductory section.
Project Description. Dudek will update/revise and incorporate the project description prepared under Task 1. A
detailed description of all of the project components and site plan details will be included, as well as a description

Environmental Iirxlpact ArnMysiis. Each environmental impact section will include the following sections:
o Environmental Setting
o Relevant Plans, Policies, and Ordinances
o Thresholds of Significance
o Regulatory and Specific Plan Requirements
o Environmental Impact Analysis
o Cumulative Impacts
o Mitigation Measures
o Significance After Mitigation
o References
The IS was anticipated to scope out the following topics from the EIR: agriculture and forestry resources,
biological resources, mineral resources, and wildfire. Our approach to evaluating impacts related to the remaining
topical chapters is summarized as follows.
Aesthetic . The EIR will evaluate visual changes and potential impacts to scenic vistas and the visual character in
the project vicinity that would occur as a result of project implementation. To support this analysis, architectural
drawings (provided by the architect and/or Specific Plan graphics) will be included in the EIR section. Impacts to day
and nighttime views will be informed by the potential for particularly reflective building materials to be introduced to
the site and the introduction of new nighttime lighting sources, as per the requirements of the Specific Plan and
applicable City regulations. It is assumed that the architect's visual renderings and concept aerial views will be
adequate to visually depict the proposed project and that no additional visual simulations are required. Additionally,
it is assumed that the building heights are not tall enough to result in shade -shadow impacts.
Air Quality. Dudek will prepare an assessment of the air quality and GHG emissions impacts of the proposed project
utilizing the significance thresholds in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the South Coast Air Quality Management
District's (SCAQMD's) emissions -based thresholds, and the City's guidance, as applicable. After reviewing all
available project materials, Dudek will prepare a request for any outstanding data needed to conduct the analysis. If
precise information on a particular factor is not available from the City staff or its representatives, Dudek will make
every effort to quantify these items usingthe best available information for comparable data sources.
Local and regional climate, meteorology, and topography as they affect the accumulation or dispersal of air
pollutants will be presented in the air quality assessment. Current air quality conditions and recent trends in the
South Coast Air Basin, where the proposed project is located, will be described on the basis of California Air
Resources Board and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency annual air quality monitoring data summaries.
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies responsible for air quality management will be identified, and
applicable federal, state, and local air quality policies, regulations, and standards will be summarized, including a
discussion of the SCAQMD Final 2016 Air Quality Management Plan.
Dudek will estimate emissions associated with construction of the proposed project using the California
Emissions Estimation Model (CalEEMod). The analysis of short-term construction and demolition emissions will be
based on scheduling information (e.g., overall construction duration, phasing and phase timing) and probable
construction activities (e.g., construction equipment type and quantity, workers, and haul trucks) developed by the
City and/or standardized approaches. Dudek will then evaluate the significance of the emissions based on the
SCAQMD significance criteria. For purposes of the budget, it was assumed a maximum of three construction
CalEEMod runs and one operational build -out year CalEEMod run will be performed.

Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
Dudek will also assess the project's potential to cause or contribute to exceedances of ambient air quality
standards at sensitive receptors near the proposed project activities using the SCAQMD's localized significance
thresholds. For projects with a total site area of 5 acres or less, the assessment may use a simple "lookup table"
approach provided by the SCAQMD. For budgetary purposes, it is assumed that the maximum daily area of
disturbance will not exceed 5 acres for each area; therefore, the localized significance threshold assessment will
use the lookup table approach provided by the SCAQMD and the construction emission estimates from
CalEEMod. For purposes of the budget, it was assumed that a localized significance threshold assessment will be
conducted for each of the three areas.
Dudek understands that the project is proposing future sensitive receptors (i.e., residences) and the project site is
close to sensitive receptors (existing residences); thus, a health risk assessment may be warranted. Therefore,
Dudek included a construction health risk assessment to evaluate the impact of construction toxic air
contaminants, specifically diesel particulate matter (DPM), on sensitive receptors. While there is no specific
requirement to prepare this analysis, Dudek recommends inclusion of this analysis in the EIR.
CalEEMod will also be used to estimate project -generated operational criteria air pollutant emissions
associated with mobile, energy, and area sources. Dudek will estimate mobile source emissions using the trip
generation rates and additional necessary trip characteristics provided in the traffic report prepared for the
project. Energy and area source emissions (e.g., natural gas combustion and consumer products) will be
estimated using the default values in CalEEMod for the proposed land use based on the number of residential
units, the number of hotel rooms, and total proposed commercial square footage. In addition to operational
emissions estimated for the proposed project, emissions associated with operation of the existing land uses
will be estimated using CalEEMod default values for an appropriate land use surrogate. The existing emissions
estimate will reflect basic operation of the existing land uses and associated vehicle trips. Dudek will estimate
the net change in operational criteria air pollutant emissions and compare the net change to the SCAQMD
emissions -based significance thresholds.
Dudek will evaluate whether traffic associated with the proposed project could lead to potential exposure of
sensitive receptors to substantial localized concentrations of air pollutant emissions, specifically carbon monoxide
"hot spots." The qualitative assessment will be based on the traffic study prepared for the project and applicable
screening criteria recommended by the SCAQMD and/or the Caltrans. For budgetary purposes, it is assumed that
the study intersections would not exceed the applied screening criteria, and a quantitative carbon monoxide
hotspots analysis would not be required.
Dudek assumes that the project would not include operational stationary sources (e.g., diesel emergency
generator) and an associated operational health risk assessment would not be required. If the project would
include a stationary source, Dudek can evaluate the associated emissions and health risk under a separate scope
and budget. Furthermore, since the proposed future sensitive receptors (i.e., residences) on the project site would
be located approximately 2,000 feet south of Interstate 105 and approximately 8,000 feet west of Interstate 405,
a health risk assessment to evaluate the potential health risk of freeway DPM emissions on the project is
assumed to not be required and is not proposed herein. Furthermore, based on the Caltrans Traffic Census
Program, the PCH has a traffic volume of 58,000 annual average daily trips northbound and 61,000 annual
average daily trips southbound are less than the California Air Resources Board Air Quality and Land Use
Handbook: A Community Health Respective recommended siting of sensitive land uses within 500 feet of
freeways and urban roads with 100,000 vehicles per day. Nonetheless, if required, Dudek could prepare a
roadway health risk assessment to comprehensively evaluate the project's potential to expose sensitive receptors
to substantial pollutant concentrations under a separate scope and budget.
BRE
Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 18
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
Additional Appendix G thresholds will also be evaluated, including the potential for the project to expose sensitive
receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, to result in other emissions such as odors, or to impede
attainment of the 2016 SCAQMD air quality management plan. The EIR analysis will be prepared consistent with
the SCAQMD's guidance and thresholds. Details of the analysis (e.g., daily criteria air pollutant emission
calculations) will be included in an appendix to the EIR.
Cultural Resources s and Tribal Cultural Resources. Dudek will incorporate the findings of Task 1.3, Cultural
Resources Technical Report. It is anticipated that the City will conduct all required coordination to support AB 52
requirements related to Native American coordination, and Dudek will summarize the City's process in the tribal
cultural resources section of the EIR.
EnerW. Dudek will prepare an energy assessment for the project per Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The
analysis will briefly summarize electricity, natural gas, and petroleum energy sources and the relevant regulatory
framework. Based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, the impact analysis will assess if the project would (1)
result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of
energy resources, during project construction or operation, and (2) conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan
for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The project will be assessed in regards to construction and operational
energy consumption, which will be quantified to the extent estimation methods and project -specifics are
available. Project electricity (kilowatt-hours) and natural gas (British thermal units) usage will be estimated based
on project specifics and CalEEMod default values, as appropriate, when project specifics are not available.
Petroleum consumption will be estimated using CalEEMod and based on the same equipment and vehicle
assumptions assumed in the air quality and GHG emissions analysis. As with the air quality and GHG emissions
analyses, energy consumption will also be estimated for the existing land uses and the net change in petroleum,
electricity, and natural gas consumption will be estimated. Project elements that would reduce the proposed
project's energy demand during construction and operations will be identified in the analysis and quantified as
available. Dudek assumes that the City staff or its representatives will provide a list of the project's energy
conservation measures prior to initiating air quality and GHG emissions modeling, as the energy analysis will be
prepared consistent with the emissions modeling assumptions.
Geology and Soft. This section will incorporate analysis and findings of the geotechnical investigation provided by
the Applicant. Drawing upon the information and conclusions of the report, as well as additional available geologic
maps and data (U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey, and U.S. Department of Agriculture), Dudek
will prepare an EIR section evaluating the potential for the project to result in impacts associated with geology
and soils. No additional geological surveys or field investigations are proposed. As per CEQA guidelines, Dudek will
complete a paleontological resources inventory. Dudek's qualified paleontologist will complete a records search
through the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County to determine the location of any previously recorded
fossil discoveries in the vicinity of the project. The records search provides information necessary to determine
paleontological sensitivity of the project area. Dudek anticipates the direct costs for the records search to be no
more than $300.00. Dudek will prepare a paleontological resources technical memorandum that will include all
necessary information, including records search results, geological map and literature review, paleontological
literature review, and provide recommendations for future management considerations or treatment. The
paleontological resources technical memorandum will be included as an appendix in the EIR. It is assumed that
any existing geotechnical and paleontological resource reports for the project will be provided to Dudek.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The GHG emissions assessment will include a setting and background discussion
consisting of a summary of the greenhouse effect and global climate change, potential changes to the global
climate system and to California, and emission inventories at the national, state, and local levels. It will also
include a summary of the key federal, state, and local regulatory actions and programs to reduce GHG emissions.
BRE�SpecificPlan .Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 19
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
Dudek will estimate the GHG emissions associated with construction of the project using CalEEMod based on the
same construction and demolition scenario utilized in the air quality analysis. Project -generated operational GHG
emissions that will be estimated include those associated with mobile sources, natural gas usage, electrical
generation, water supply, wastewater, and solid waste disposal. The emissions estimates will be based on
information provided by the City staff or CalEEMod default values. In addition to operational emissions estimated
for the proposed project, emissions associated with operation of the existing land uses will be estimated using
CalEEMod based on the same scenario utilized in the air quality analysis.
The impact analysis will reflect Appendix G of the state CEQA Guidelines; specifically, whether a project would (a)
generate GHG emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment and
(b) conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of
GHGs. The SCAQMD GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Working Group has proposed options lead agencies can
select from to screen thresholds of significance for GHG emissions in residential and commercial projects;
however, no thresholds have been formally adopted. Options the SCAQMD evaluated include a bright -line
threshold of 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for all land use types. We will work with City
staff to confirm application of the appropriate threshold for evaluating the project's GHG emissions under CEQA.
Dudek will estimate the net change in operational GHG emissions and compare the net change to the appropriate
SCAQMD threshold. Details of the analysis (e.g., annual GHG emission calculations) will be included in an
appendix to the EIR.
The City worked with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments to prepare and adopt a Climate Action Plan
(December 2017); however, the City's Climate Action Plan is not a qualified plan under CEQA Guidelines Section
15183.5 and cannot be tiered from under environmental review. As such, Dudek will discuss how the proposed
project complies with the City's Climate Action Plan measures for reducing GHG emissions; state regulations (AB
32); General Plan goals, objectives, and policies that help the City contribute to regional GHG reduction efforts;
and applicable development standards that would increase energy efficiency, such as the California Building
Code. Dudek will also provide a qualitative post -2020 analysis that will evaluate whether or not the project -
generated GHG emissions would impede the attainment of the 2030 and 2050 reduction goals identified in SB
32 and Executive Order S-3-05, respectively. Because the City has not adopted a numeric post -2020 threshold or
provided guidance for demonstrating that a project will not impede the implementation of state's post -2020 GHG
reduction goals, a qualitative assessment is assumed to be sufficient. The EIR analysis will be prepared
consistent with the SCAQMD's guidance and thresholds.
(Hazards and Hazardous Materials. This section will incorporate analysis and findings of the Phase I environmental site
assessment or other hazards assessment provided by the Applicant. Drawing on the information and conclusions in
the provided environmental site assessment, as well as additional available on government databases, Dudek will
prepare an EIR section evaluating the potential for the project to result in impacts associated with hazards and
hazardous materials.
Hydivology and Water Quality„ Based on the hydrology reports/analyses provided by the Applicant's civil engineer,
Dudek will prepare the hydrology and water quality section of the EIR, which will (1) identify beneficial uses and water
quality impairments (if any) of downstream surface water bodies, (2) describe existing groundwater quality conditions,
(3) explain state and federal water quality regulations and the City's development standards (e.g., regarding drainage
and erosion control, non-stormwater discharges, and grading), (4) discuss the various ways in which the project could
adversely affect hydrology, drainage and water quality (both directly and indirectly), and (5) identify any best
management practices or mitigation measures required. Dudek will summarize the hydrology analysis, which is
anticipated to articulate how the project complies with the requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements and the City's requirements,
including best management practices to comply with the Low Impact Development mandates.
BRE Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 20
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
Land Use and Planning. The land use section of the EIR will describe the consistency of the proposed project with
the City's General Plan goals and intents, and other adopted land use policies, including the Southern California
Association of Governments' 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy. The
land use section will describe the compatibility and any potential conflicts between the proposed project with
existing development. These conflicts could include a use that would create a nuisance for adjacent properties or
result in incompatibility with surrounding land uses, noise levels, or traffic levels. The EIR will evaluate the extent
to which development standards or proposed design standards would eliminate or minimize potential conflicts
between the proposed project and adjacent uses.
Noise„ Dudek will conduct a noise study of potential impacts to existing and proposed future on-site land uses
(i.e., residential, and retail commercial uses). Residential land uses are located to the west, and commercial uses
are located to the east. These land uses could be impacted by noise from project -related demolition and
construction and project -related traffic, and the proposed future residences could be impacted by traffic noise
from the adjacent PCH/Sepulveda Boulevard, as well as noise from the proposed on-site parking structure, and
from Los Angeles International Airport, located approximately 3,000 feet to the north.
A field noise study will be conducted to measure existing on- and off-site noise conditions. Sound -level data will
be collected over 10 -to 15 -minute periods up to six on-site and nearby noise -sensitive receiver locations.
Potential construction noise impacts on nearby noise -sensitive land uses will be evaluated based on construction
equipment data to be provided by the project Applicant or from estimates for similar projects, and noise modeling
methods developed by the Federal Highway Administration.
On-site and off-site long-term (operational) noise effects from the existing, future and project -related vehicle trips
along nearby arterials and PCH/Sepulveda Boulevard will be evaluated using the project's traffic study and the
Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise Model version 2.5. Parking structure noise will be addressed
using data from similar projects. Aircraft noise from Los Angeles International Airport will be assessed using the
available noise contour information from Los Angeles World Airports. If noise impacts are identified, mitigation
measures will be developed and recommended to reduce impacts to a "less -than -significant" level and to comply
with City noise standards.
The significance of noise impacts will be assessed based on the relevant City, state, and federal thresholds. If
significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less than significant level
(where feasible) will be recommended. The regulatory background, ambient noise environment, methodology,
results of the noise analysis, findings of potential effects and mitigation measures will be summarized in the noise
section of the project's EIR noise section.
Population and Housing, The project would lead to an increase the number of employees and residents at the
project site that could alter the population, employment, and housing characteristics for the area through a
change in land uses and an increase in the number of residents and jobs available on site. The employment and
housing characteristics of the City and region will be summarized and will be used to determine potential project
impacts. Applicable General Plan policies regarding population, housing, and employment opportunities will also
be described and analyzed.
Public Services and Recreation„ These sections will address potential impacts of the project on police and fire
department response capabilities and time resulting from construction of the new residential and commercial
uses. This analysis will provide a qualitative existing condition assessment of fire protection, police protection,
emergency medical service, schools, parks, and libraries. The estimates of existing uses for these public services
will become the basis for future projected needs. Development of these estimates may necessitate outreach to
the fire department, police department, or use of local emergency response data. The EIR will also address proper
BRE Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 21
Agreement No. 5749
DUDEK
site access and circulation and fire prevention devices and systems that would be installed. Impacts on
recreational facilities, schools, and libraries will also be analyzed. Potential impacts to public services will be
substantiated and analyzed in the EIR.
Transportation. Dudek will incorporate the analysis and findings of the Applicant's traffic impact report into the
EIR, which is assumed to adequately address all transportation -related issues associated with the project and
with development on the PCH.
Utilities and Servioe Systems. This section of the EIR will evaluate the potential for the project to affect water,
wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste services. It is assumed that an infrastructure capacity analysis will be
provided through the Specific Plan to confirm that the off-site pipelines and infrastructure can accommodate the
demands of the proposed project. This section will address whether the wastewater generated by the project
would require the expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or the construction of new wastewater
treatment facilities, and whether existing or planned stormwater drainage systems are adequate. Dudek will also
provide projections of solid waste generation, which will be compared to existing and future landfill capacity to
determine whether the changes in land use would substantially shorten the life of the landfill or necessitate
expansion of the landfill.
The project includes development of approximately 273 residential units and approximately 15,000 square feet
of commercial use. Dudek anticipates that the proposed project does not the requirements to prepare a Water
Supply Assessment in accordance with the requirements of SB 610. As such, Dudek will answer the CEQA
threshold question of whether there would be "sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and
reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years." The analysis will
document the following: (1) current water demand for the project site and projected water demand for the
proposed project; (2) projected water demands for the proposed project through buildout in 5 -year increments; (3)
identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, or agreements relevant
to the identified water supplies and proposed development scenario; and (4) water received at the project site in
prior years pursuant to those entitlements, rights, contracts, and agreements. The analysis will evaluate the
availability of the identified water supplies during normal, single -dry year, and multiple -dry water years during, at
minimum, a 20 -year projection to meet existing demands, expected demands of the project, and reasonably
foreseeable planned future water demands for the project, thereby, assessing the reliability and sufficiency of
water supplies as required. If necessary, mitigation measures will be provided.
AUteirnatives to the Proposed Project„ The alternatives section will be prepared to meet the objectives of the CEQA
Guidelines by addressing alternatives to the project as proposed. Each alternative will be evaluated with respect
to the environmental issue area reviewed for the proposed project. As required by the CEQA Guidelines, the
advantages and disadvantages of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or recommending it will be
provided. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified from among the alternatives to the proposed
project. In addition, a narrative will be provided that discusses alternatives that were considered but were
determined to be infeasible, and therefore not assessed in detail. For purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that
three alternatives will carried forward for analysis evaluated in the EIR.
Long -Term Implications of the Proposed Project. This section will include analysis of significant irreversible
changes that would occur as result of the proposed project, as well as growth -inducing impacts. It will also
include a summary of the effects determined not to be significant, including those topics that were scoped out
through the IS.
Dist of Preparers„ This section will include references, acronyms and abbreviations, and the preparers of the EIR.
BRE Specific Plan Environmental Documentation Proposal Page 22

assumed that comments on the revised draft EIR will be minor and not require new analyses or substantive
revisions. Dudek will reproduce and distribute the Notice of Availability (NOA) to interested stakeholders,
agencies, and the public based on the NOP mailing list, which will be revised to include respondents to the NOP.
Dudek will prepare drafts of both the NOA and the NOC for review. Upon receipt of comments, Dudek will finalize
these documents for City signature and distribution. Dudek will be responsible for providing the NOC to the State
Clearinghouse along with the 15 copies of the executive summary. Dudek will also be responsible for posting the
NOA with the Los Angeles County Clerk. In the event the City would like to publish the NOA in a paper of local
circulation, Dudek assumes the City will take the lead on posting the notice with the paper and that the Applicant
would post the notice on the project site, if needed.

comments, and standard introductory material. All comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and
comment number), and the responses to those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation.
For purposes of this scope of work and cost estimate, Dudek assumes up to 90 hours of professional staff time to
address the comment letters. Since the actual scope and extent of public comments (in either written or oral
format) cannot be known at this time, if additional staff hours are needed to prepare responses to comments, a
budget augment will be requested.

The project manager will maintain regular contact with the project team and the City, as needed, throughout the
CEQA process. Activities include regularly scheduled conference calls, including a twice -monthly project team
conference call. Dudek will be responsible for managing the CEQA process, including communications and
coordination among various consultants to facilitate adherence to the EIR schedule; compliance with the scope of
work and budget; and internal administrative tasks such as invoicing and contract management. The project
management budget assumes a 16 -month EIR schedule. Dudek can only ensure compliance with schedule
milestones that are fully under our control (e.g., preparation of work products). If this schedule is extended,
additional project management budget may be necessary.
Task 6 Deliverables:
• Up to 40 hours of project manager meeting time, anticipated to include up to four in-person status
meetings and up to two hearings before the City decision makers
• Project management time over the course of the CEQA process, assuming a 16 -month schedule

Subtask 71 Construction Health Risk Assessment
During construction, the primary toxic air contaminant of concern would be DPM from heavy-duty trucks and any
on-site off-road equipment. Dudek will use the American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency
Regulatory Model (AERMOD), which is required by the SCAQMD to conduct dispersion modeling, and California Air
Resources Board's Hot Spots Analysis and Reporting Program Version 2 (HARP2) to calculate the health impacts.
Notably, the health impact calculations in HARP2 are based on the Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment's 2015 Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Risk Assessment Guidelines - Guidance Manual for Preparation
of Health Risk Assessments. The dispersion of DPM and associated health risk impacts on sensitive receptors will
be determined using AERMOD, HARP2, local meteorological data obtained from the SCAQMD, and the estimated
annual average DPM emissions. The maximum cancer risks at the appropriate receptors (e.g., proximate
residential receptors) will be tabulated. Cancer risk isopleths (i.e., lines of equal cancer risk) will be plotted on
figures showing the project site if the maximum cancer risk exceeds the SCAQMD significance threshold of 10 in
one million. The assessment will also include the estimated chronic (long-term) hazard indices due to non -cancer
health effects associated with DPM. The hazard indices will be tabulated at the appropriate locations and plotted
on figures similar to that showing estimated cancer risks if they exceed the SCAQMD significance threshold of 1.0.
The cancer burden of the project will also be evaluated if the cancer risk exceeds one in one million. If the health
impacts exceed the thresholds of significance, we will suggest appropriate mitigation measures to reduce the
health impacts. A summary of the methodology and results will be provided in the air quality section of the EIR
and details of the analysis will be included in an appendix to the EIR.
