HomeMy Public PortalAbout10) 7G Amendment to Agreement with Planning CenterCity Council October 6, 2015 Page 2 of 3 ANALYSIS: In preparing recommendations for the 2015 Fiscal Year Budget, staff reviewed the scope of work for the contract with The Planning Center I DC & E and determined that changes were necessary. The adopted 2015 Fiscal Year Budget included $162,300 to cover the proposed changes to the scope of work. The proposed contract amendment includes the following changes in the project scope : • Additional Public Review: The original scope included a very limited number of General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) meetings and Commission meetings. Staff recommends adding seven additional GPAC meetings so that the scope of work matches the Committee's bylaws by allowing the Committee to participate in the specific plan effort and Zoning Code update. It is also recommended that five Commission meetings be added to the scope. This will allow the Public Arts Commission, Transportation and Public Safety Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Youth Committee to provide input on the appropriate chapters of the General Plan. • Website & Community Profile Magazine: Communicating the information regarding the General Plan is very important to the project's success. Staff is recommending changes to the scope of work related to communications. The first change is to increase the consultant's level of service to manage and maintain the website directly. The second is in recognition that the consultant was given direction to prepare a Community Profile "Magazine" which was an expansion of an approved task. • Las Tunas/Rosemead Code and Guidelines: The original scope of work included the preparation of a specific plan , design guidelines, and a development code for the area around Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard. To ensure this task is fully completed, staff recommends amending the contract accordingly. • Project Management: This task includes an increase in regular coordination meetings, the discussion of product formats, preparing agendas, and monthly status reports than was previously developed. Staff recommends amending the contract to ensure the consultant can continue to properly manage the project. Staff anticipated the above changes in the preparation of the 2015 Fiscal Year Budget which includes the $162,300 necessary to fund the above changes to the project scope. City Council October 6, 2015 Page 3 of 3 CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the first amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with The Planning Center I DC & E to modify the contract as described above. Staff believes these changes are necessary to ensure the consultant has funds to complete approved tasks, and to fully vet drafts with the community before bringing final drafts to the City Council for approval. This action furthers the Strategic Plan goals of Citizen Education & Communication, Economic Development, Quality of Life, and Good Governance. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for the General Plan are allocated in the Fiscal Year 2015 City Budget under Community Development's Planning Division Program Contract Services. Account number 01-930-53-4271 includes $162,300 to cover the additional General Plan costs recommended under the First Amendment. ATTACHMENTS: A.

The Planning Center I DC&E proposes a scope of work for the concurrent preparation of the Temple City 2050 Mid-Century Plan and the Las Tunas/Rosemead Specific Plan. Both plans, in conjunction with an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), will be prepared and adopted concurrently within a two-year time frame. The City has also requested the preparation of a comprehensive Zoning Code Update (see Phase 9), which timeframe for preparation will also overlap with the General Plan and Specific Plan and be completed shortly thereafter as reflected in the project schedule attached. The Scope of Work is formatted in two columns depicting the work tasks to be conducted concurrently for the General Plan and Specific Plan projects. General Plan tasks are described in the left column, and those specific to the Las Tunas/Rosemead area are described in the right column. In most cases, tasks will be combined where we can progress both work programs concurrently.ln some cases, tasks are separated where stand-alone analyses and work products are necessary. While we believe that this scope of work is responsive to the City's needs, we want to emphasize that we are prepared to modify it to ensure that it fully complies and results in the most appropriate tools to achieve Temple City's objectives for transforming statutory policy and regulatory documents into a blueprint that has value, is owned by the community and elected decision-makers, contributes to real change, and is effective in achieving community visions for the future.

Deliverable(s): Milestone GPAC Meetings Summary of GPAC Meetings (e lectronic) TASK 2.4 CO MMUNITY FEST IVALS AND EVENTS We be li eve that eff ective community interaction includes going in to the community and engaging wi th residents where they are. Thus, we have schedu led to go out to neighborhood meetings, farmer's mar ket, events, co ncerts in the park, and festiva ls and work to gather input in places where people are comfortable, captivated, and it is convenient and fa miliar to them. Blending t raditional meetings, communit y-focused events, and on-l ine resou rces will allow us to achieve successful participation and improve the outcome of t he p lanning process . A community fest ival format provides cre ative and energizing opportunities that engage adults and ch ildren ali ke and p rovides substan t ive input that t he Project team and City can use in development of the Temple City Genera l Plan and Las Tunas /Rosemead Plan proj ect. The City has a number of events throughout the year where we will engage residents and businesses at im portant milestones in the planning process. At some events, we may combin e activities for the General Plan and Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan. At certain mil estones we p ropose focusing the dia logue d ue to the level of detail we will need to share and vet w ith the commun ity. We envision designing booths, distributing surveys, displaying plans, incorporating activities , and interactin g in creative and productive ways that inform the planning process. Important milestones are identified below, along with a d escr iption of events that offer meaningful engagement op portunities, as shown in the Community Outreach Plan: 1) Community Survey Series, Phase 3, Understanding the Context One of the f irs t p ro ject milestones is the completion of the Com munity Profi le and Las Tunas/Rosemead Focused Study in Phase 3. Impo rtant to complet ing this milesto ne wi ll be understanding the issues, opportunities and priorities in Temple City as seen f rom the p erspective of those who five and wo r k here. Rather tha n hold a traditional worksho p to so licit ideas and review technical background documents, we envision reaching out to t he community at a series of event s. The RFP req uests a public survey of at least 400 residents t o solicit input from the community, Planning Commiss ion, and City Council. Lilley Planning Group, in colla boration with the consultant t eam and City staff, w ill spearhead a survey series that co mbines fun and captivating opportu nities to engage the community in person along w ith w eb- based survey tools and p rint media to att ract an online audience.

Rece iving valid at ion f rom t he co m mu nity on their v ision is a crit ical step in the process, as it lays the pl an ning principl e and policy foundation for the re st of the work program. Since schedul ing of t his tas k aligns wit h t he New Year, we will w ork with the City to plan a worksh op aro un d the Ch inese Lunar Ne w Year Fest ival as an exci t ing opportunity to make new resolutions for th e City of Temple City and t he Las Tunas/Rosemead Pla n Area. We will present the Visio ns and Guiding Prin cip les and allow the commu ni t y an opportunity to refine it and take owners hip of t heir future commun ity. 3 Spring Festival, Phase 5, Areas of Preservation and O pportunity There are several milest ones wi t hin Ph ase 5 w here it will be important to engage t he community. The firs t wil l be confi r ming areas of preservation and areas that provide opportunit ies for growth and revitalizat ion, both ci t ywide and within the Las Tunas/R osemea d Pl an Area. As th is task fa lls in the Sp ring of 20 14, we w ill work w it h t he Cit y t o integrate our outrea ch efforts w it h other Spring events in the City, su ch as the Spr ing Fl ing, Food Tru ck Fes t iva l or Arbor Day Celeb ra t ion (see Co mmunity Outreach Pla n). Holding t his workshop in t he Sp ring presents a ni ce theme fo r a focu s on opportu nity and growth in the Ci ty. An importa nt component of t his o utreach effort will be brainsto rming possible future d irect ions for each opportunity area to ac h ieve the communit y's vision. These ideas will be integ rated into t he place mak ing alterna tives ta sk below. 4 Design Chat·rettes, Phase 5, Place Making Alternatives A second important miles t on e in Phase 5 is review i ng con ceptual alt ernative d irections for each opportunit y area, both ci tywide and in t he Las Tu nas/Rosemead Plan Area, and deciding on a preferred alternative. Since this task wi ll occur in the Summer of 2014, a creative way of rec eiv ing commun ity input on these "P lace Maki ng Alternatives" (descr ibed in Phase 5) could be t h rough the Conce rt in t he Pa rk ser ies. Similar to "Rock the Canvas," we could display a pop-up gallery of p la ce making alternatives for th e v ar ious opportunity areas in the Ci ty and fa cilitate a design charrette to deve lop a preferred alternative. Place making posters could be displ ayed over t he co urse of multiple weekends to maximize input an d involvement. We anticipa t e t hat much of the ch ange in t he City would occur along major corrido rs an d in and around downtown, so it wil l also be import ant to en gage t he bus iness community in this outreach effort, including retail owners and tenan ts, non reta il businesses, ent ertainment and tourism industries, the Chamber of Commerce, developers, and cu ltu ral resources, among others. We will work with City staff and the Chambe r of Comm erce to identify outreach activiti es that wi ll best attract and en gage t he d iverse bus iness community. Th is could i nclude a ser ies of "block parties " t hat bring place m aking alternatives to d iffe rent com munity gat hering places along opportunity corridors for interact ive design charrettes. In o rder to conserve budget in this t ask, we will design the posters, presentations and activity and attend up to two half-day events, and w ork w ith an d train City staff, t he Chamber of Commerce, or other volunteers t o ass ist in hosti ng similar events o n other occasi ons. The results of this outreach effort will lead to refin ed conceptua l Place M akin g Alternativ es for each opportun ity area, to be used by City staff and t he projec t team and others in dev elo p ing the Preferred Place Mak ing Plan and goa ls, po licies, or actions t ha t support the vision for Templ e City.lf the Ci ty des ires, this would be an other opportun ity to use the Ma ke TC Happen website to allo w the community to weig h in on t he ir p referred alternative for each opportun ity area.

We will prepare posters of the Preferred Place Making Plans for display at the Fall Festival and Car Show, Halloween Carnival. and Farmer's Market. It will be displayed on the project website and in Temple City Connect as other means for receiving final feedback. As part of the outreach effort, we will seek creative ways for soliciting broad level policy input to guide preparation of the Draft General Plan 1 as well as specific strategies for the Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan. 6} New Year's Reflection Festival, Phase 6, Reviewing the Draft-Plans rye< parking reduction cost/benefit, creative open space opportunities, etc These workshops will be led by The Planning CenteriDC&E and will feature developers and other practitioners who are actively and successfully developing and collaborating on innovative projects in the community and throughout the region. A final milestone opportunity for engaging the public before Plan adoption arrives at the completion of the Draft General Plan and Las Tunas/Rosemead Specific Plan. Here is where the community will review the draft goals, policies, and implementation programs that work to collectively achieve the community's vision. Since the scheduling of this task aligns with the New Year in 2015, we will work with the City to plan an engaging New Year's workshop, having come full circle from the visioning outreach the year before. This workshop will be an important opportunity for the community to review the Plans to ensure that they reflect their Vision and Guiding Principles. Additional opportunities for public involvement will also be given at the joint Planning Commission and City Council study sessions, EIR seeping meeting, and public hearings, described below. Deliverable(s): Six (6) interactive workshop events (or series of events} Draft and Final Community Survey (print and web-based format) TASK 2.5 JOit!T PLAtlNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSiotlS The Planning Center!DC&E will facilitate three meetings with the Planning Commission and City Council prior to the public hearings. The format and intent of the study sessions will vary from the public hearings to adopt the General Plan and Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan and certify the EIR. Instead of requesting forma! action from the Commission or Council, the session is intended to keep decision makers informed, get informal approval at key points, and provide an additional opportunity for community participation. These study sessions are identified in the Community Outreach Plan and will be provided at the following times: + Phase 4: Validation of Vision and Guiding Principles + Phase 5: Review and Feedback of Preferred Place Making Plan + Phase 6: Review and Feedback of Draft General Plan, Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan, Implementation Plans and EIR TASK 2.6 COMMISSION MEETINGS The Planning CenteriDC&E will facilitate three (3) meetings with the Public Facilities Commission, Historic Preservation Commission and Arts and Cultural Affairs Commission in Phase 6 prior to the public hearings to review the Draft General Plan, Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan, and EIR. Commissioners will be invited to participate throughout the process; however, a special study session with each commission will allow for more informal discussion of specific topics of concern to ensure the draft plans reflect their needs and vision for Temple City.

The Community Pro file de sc ribes where Temp le City stands today; p rovides a snapshot of existing cond i t io ns in the City; identifies opportunit ie s and constraints facing t he City; an d provides much o f the technica l information and graphics necessary to prepare the Envi ron mental Impact Report (EIR) f or t he Gen era l Plan Update. This repo rt will provide a similar leve l of detail and inform at ion as the Community Profile prepared for the Cit y of Sierra Mad re, where Th e Pl anni ng Center !DC&E serv ed as the lead co ns ultant. This in formation is neces sary because the purpose of t he General Plan is both to pres erve and build on the un ique and important characte ri stics of Temple City and mitigate any nega tive featu res. In this way, the Community Profi le focuses the General Plan on importa nt iss ues and he lps to develop a se lf-mitigating General Plan d ocu ment. Th e Comm un ity Profil e is organize d aro und topics that generally coincide wi th t he topics in the General Plan and EIR, as described be low. Chapters relate to land use and co mmunity .ch arac ter, ma rket conditions an d fo rec ast, mobil it y, community se rvice s, historic and cultural resources, public safety, and infrastructure. The Community Pro fi le will be conc i se , v isually rich, and clearly w ritten so it can be eas ily understood by the pu bl ic, the GPAC. Ci t y staff, and other commissions and elected officia ls.

A description of the City's overall character and identity will be p rovided as defined by the built environment and major building blocks of urban form (i.e., districts, neighborhoods, cor ri dors, etc.). An assessment of the elements that contribute special quality and identity t o the City will be performed, such as the City's histo ric landmarks and buildings, streetscapes and views, and parks and recreational ·resour ces. We wi ll review the City's existing policy and regulatory framework, recent development proposals, and draft plans und e rway and summarize existing streng ths, issues, opportunities, and constraints. We will also identify recent in it iatives protecting land use and community character in the City, such as the Focus Area Systematic Enforcement Program, and gather data on citywide property conditions t hat will provide insight into issues for considerations fo r the Ge neral Plan Update. TASK 3.2A ECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND MARKET FORECAST The Plann ing Cen t er!D C&E w ill conduct an economic analysis and forecast future market co nd itions as part of preparing the Community P;ofile. We will build the analysis around analysis and work al ready conducted for the economic de velopment road map. We intend the analysis and forecast to: + I nform the community profile and publ ic engagement efforts + Support the development of place making alternatives and selection of the preferred alternative + Prov ide a foundati o n for t he economic development element + Establish economic par ameters for the fisca l ana lysis The understanding of trends and projections provided by the analysis and forecast w ill help the City assess the direction it is current ly heading. If the community seeks a change in that direction, the following questions can be asked and incorpo rated into a strategic v ision: + Can we change d irect ion s? + If so, how? + And what will it take to facilitate the desired change? Specifically, the economic analysis and ma rket forecast will: + Describe the local economy in Temple City and its role in the subregional San Gabriel Valley economy and the broader Southern California economy + Identify opportunities to grow the loca l economy and create more jobs + Provide recommended pol icy and programs to fa ci litate an economic development v ision TASK 3.18 SITE CHARACTERISTICS !\\11WJ i/TcTC iuura·\1c.,·' c>="!J ~hll !.i.,_1L\~_~; tn~~;~\1~·-'d~T~~~U{I Th is section of the Focused Study will include an inventory and map of existing parcels, ownership, on-the-ground land uses, business types and tenants, building square footage, dwelling units, and general plan and zoned land uses and development standards.

Developer pro form a residual la nd value analysis of prototypical projects will be conducted to il lustrate the financial feasibility of the types of development envisioned in the Specific Plan. Th e analysis will include current and expected trends for vacancy rates; costs for land, construction, and capital improvements; and soft costs inherent in construction loans and the Cit y's fee schedu le . Ove rall, the results of the analysis w ill be used to cal ibrate land use and building development standards such as densi t y, height, setbacks, and parking requirements to the real estate market so that development demand and regulations are co nsisten t. A planning tool kit of incentives to promote well- designed, compact development will be identified and subsequently evaluated for an optimal mix that may include density bonuses, Business Improvement Districts, infrastructure grants, and floor-area transfer ratios weighted to desired uses. The results will also be useful as a basis for subsequent fis ca l ana lyses, phasing capital improvements, and fulfill ing RHNA /Hous ing Element objectives.

Using the insights gained from the Community Profile, community su rvey, stakeho lder interviews, online forum, and other outreach to date, The Planning CenterjDC&E will prepare a draft Vision and Guiding Principles. This will be a statement of how the community envisions their City in 2050, and what important principles and priorities will successfully lead them to accomplishing their vision . The vision and guiding principles should respond to the following questions: + What are our priorities as a community? + What are the most important values generally shared by the citizens of Temple City? + How do we envision Templ e City in the next 30 to 40 years? + What desirable characteristics do we want to integrate into our City? The vision and guiding principles w ill build off of the efforts underway through the City's Strategic Plan by expa nding the conversation to the specific topics that will be covered in the General Plan.

This phase will use the combination of the Focused Stu dy and outreach efforts to date to inform the draft vision statement and guiding principles. Establishing a clear vision for this important gateway into the City ofT em pie City is important for the development of a land use plan, regulatory framework, and implementing actions for the Plan Area, as all of these components of the Plan are derived from the community vision. Similar to the General Plan visio ning process, the vision statement and guiding principles for the Las Tunas/Rosemead area should define what the community's priorities are for this area; how the community envis ions the area developing in the future; what desirable characteristics th e community wants to integrate into the Plan Area (community open space, national retailers, more housing, architectura l features, etc.) that do not currently exist; and so on. Importantly, the vision statement should also be grounded by economic analysis and bench marked with developer i nput to reflect a vision that is both community driven and market supported.

Following outreach to the community, we will meet with the GPAC and the Planning Commiss ion and City Council in a joint study session. This joint study session is an important step in the General Plan process for the Planning Commission and City Council to validate or provide final direction on the Vision and Guiding Princip les before moving forward. Based upon input rec e ived from the Planning Commission and City Council, we will craft the Screencheck and Fina l Vision and Guiding Principles. We will work with the Communication Office to post the Vision and Guiding Principles onto the project website and Connect magazine, as appropriate, to set the st age for the next phase, Place Making. Al t hough the Vision and Guiding Principles m ay be revisited from time to time, it wil l be essenti al t o impress upon decision makers that changes to the Vision and Guiding Principles must be minimized, particularly following the preparation of the Preferred Place Making Plan in Phase 4.

It can be designed to include features such as community outreach tools, state-of-the art maps, short-term strategic plans geared toward implementation, and long-term t racking and mon itori ng tools. This type of web-based approach has the potential to best serve the City's specific need s and adapt to those needs as they change over time by placing General Plan content alongside other City informat i on . Elements in a we b-based plan fo r Temple Ci ty would be structured and formatted cons istently in layers, foregrounding the most important types of information for peo p le to access whi le providing a simple means of "dril ling down" to the more in-depth info rmation that underlies the element. The wording of such a General Plan wou ld be crafted w ith the internet user in mind, limit ing long paragraphs, putting the message ac ross in a concise and lively manner, and reinforcing it with high quality visual exhibits. A web-based general plan for Temple City could be archived digitally and in hard copy and printed in its entirety or in pieces, according to t he needs of users. The General Plan cou ld also be translated automatically in to other languages . Alternatively, we can accommodate the City's General Pl an format of conventional text and graphics in a loose lea f binder. If a web-based format is selected, coo rdina t ion with the Communications Office will be required. It is also assumed that the City w ill m anage and maintain the content that w ill be provided for the website.

In addition to the st ate-mandated elements, the RFP identifies four important issu es t o be addressed in the genera l plan: historic preservation and cu l tural resources, co mmunity design and character, sustainability and sustain able development, and economic development. As a springboard fo r discussion, we have sugge sted themes that correspond genera lly with your n ew Make TC Happen website, which are: econom ic development, community planning, recreation and open space, infrastructure and sustainability, public safety, and arts and culture. We have modified these themes sl ightly to address other General Plan topics; however, the intent is to provide continuity and consistency in the City's policy and implementa tion f ramework.

The City will be able to approve projects in t his area w ithout waiting for the compreh ensive Zoning Code Update to be completed. The Deve lopment Code will be prepa red as a "hybridn form-based/conventional code. It will establish mandatory standards for essential bu ilding blocks of good urban design. However, the Code will also allow flexi bility for project applicants to arrange uses on sites as needed to respond to evolving market conditions. The Code will clearly requ ire development to be consistent w ith the vis ion, goals, and policies for the Las Tunas/Rosemead Plan Area, but will provide applicants w ith options for how to best achieve this vision on individual sites. The Development Code for the Las Tunas/Rosemead area w ill establish a template that can be utilized as the template for the comprehensive citywide Zoning Code Update. The Development Cod e and citywide Zoning Code will utilize consistent organization, terminology, and graphic conventions. Permitting and administrative p rov isions wi ll be identical in both documents. Both documents will utilize the same approach that carefully ba lances the need for certai nty of design outcomes with flexi b ility to respond to unique co nditions on individual sites. The Dev elopment Code w ill implement t he vis ion for development in the Las Tunas /Rosemead planning area in t hree primary w ays: (a) rem oving barriers; (b) creating incentives; and (c) improving regulations. Strong incentives to encourage redevelopment will be key for Plan success. Incentives can be used to overcome barriers to parcel assembly, such as by allowing greater development intensity for larger parcels on a sliding scale ("graduated density").lncentives can also be used to encourage mixed-use development and to provide community amenities such as public gathering places and transit infrastructure.

Buildout of the General Plan Update would ge nerate em issi o ns f rom an anticipa ted increase in t rips and vehicle mil es t rave led (VMT) nssocia ted with la nd uses w ith in t he City. In add ition, use of natural gas and other area sources generate criteria air pollutants. Constru ct ion of individual development projects would also generate emi ssions from vehicles, off-road equ i pment, off-g as emissions, and fugitive d us t. Potential impacts from con struction activities associated with implementation of the General Plan Update will be described qualitatively. The EIR will compare crite ria air po ll utants ge nerat ed by exist ing land uses (CEQA Basel ine) in Temple City compared to land uses proj ected at buildout of the City (i.e., not a Plan-to-Plan analysis). An inventory of criteria ai r pollutants generated by exist in g land uses and proposed land uses wi ll be based on an existing in ventory of la nd uses on the ground and future buildout sta t istics generated for the proposed land use pla n . Cumulative air qua l ity impa cts from buildout of the General Plan Update will be described based on the em iss ions inventory compared to SCAQMD's regional si gnifican ce thresholds. Air Quality Land Use Compatibility: The Ca liforn ia Air Resources Board (CARB) and t he California Air Pollution Contro l Officer's Association (CAPCOA ) have adopted guidelines for si t i ng new sensitive re ce ptors near major sources of pollution, including high-vol ume roadways and i ndus tri al land uses. Recommendations to reduce risk associated with placement of new sensitive land uses asso ciated with the General Plan Update adjacent t o major so urces of air pollution will be based on the recommended buffer distances In the CARB and the CAPCO A guidance. Air Quality Managemen t Plan Consistency: Th e SoCAB is des igna ted non atta inment of the Nationa l and/or California ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM ,o and PM u ). Consistency of the proj ect's regional emiss i ons wi ll also be evaluated against SCAQMD's Air Quality Management Plan. CO Hotspots: The SoCAB has been designated in attainment of t he state and federal carbon monoxide (CO) AAQS. Given that no intersection has exceeded the CO st andards since rede signation, quantitative evaluation is not warran ted. Instea d, the potential fo r t he proposed project to generate a CO hotspot w ill be addressed qual it atively.

Pursuant to the CEQA Guidel ines, all phases of the project must be considered (CEQA Guideli nes Section 15126). Because the time horizon of a general plan extends beyond the GHG reduction target year of Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) (i.e ., 2020 compared t o Genera l Plan bu ildout), the GHG impact analysis for the PEIR wil l identify GHG emissions associated with full buildout of the Genera l Plan Update. To date, there is no comp r ehensive st atewide plan that identifies GHG reduction programs· past 2020.1 However, the California Air Resources Board (CARS) is currently in the process of updating the Seeping Plan to address interim targets to reach the 2050 goal of reducing GHG emiss ions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 pursuant to Executive Order 5-03-05. Long-term changes in GHG emissions in the City wi ll be based on the applicable methodology from SCAQMD. The PE IR will include a GHG emissions inventory for the City for the CEQA baseline yea r and General Plan Update bulld out. The GHG inventory for CEQA baseline and buildout will provide an estimat e of long-term GHG emiss ions for the applicable GHG emissions sec t ors . Existing GHG em iss ions inventories prepared for th e Energy Action Plan will be incorporated, as applicable. However, the current inventories do not go past 2035 and cover full buildo ut of the Genera l Plan. Sources of GHG emissions in the City wil l be based on those within the City's jurisdictional control and will include: + Residentia l Energy Use (electri ci ty and natural gas) + Nonresidentia l Energ y Use (electricity and natura l gas) + Transportation (on-road ve hicles based on VMT provided by Fehr & Peers} + Water Use and Wastewat er Treatment + Other -Area Sources (e.g., off-road equipment) + Permitted Sources (GHG for this sector wi ll be presented, if ava ilabl e, from SCAQMD} Th e inventories will be adjusted for reductions associated with sta tew ide programs that h ave been adopted to red uce GHG emissions. The PEIR will evaluate the impact from the change in GHG emissions in the City compared to CEQA baseline conditions pursuant to SCAQMD 's draft threshol ds.
