SUBJECT: CONSULTANT CONTRACT TO PREPARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
KAUFMAN & BROAD GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT - COUNTY FILE #8-93-EC
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve and authorize the Director of Community Development to
execute on behalf of the County a contract with the firm of Mills
Associates in the amount of $50,449 for the preparation of a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the Kaufman &
Broad General Plan Amendment proposal in the Bay Point area.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the SEIR is borne by the project sponsor, Kaufman &
Broad. In addition to the consultant contract, the cost of the
SEIR to the project sponsor includes a 30% surcharge ($15, 134) for
staff administration services for a total cost of $65, 583 .
BACKGROUND/REASONS 'FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a Board-authorized general plan amendment study and the
Community Development Department has determined that an EIR for the
proposed general plan amendment is required by the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . The CEQA requires the
preparation of an EIR for a proposed project where the project is
subject to a discretionary action by a California unit of
government and where there is reason to believe that the proposed
project would result in one or more significant, i.e. adverse,
environmental impacts. The project requires discretionary approval
by the Board of Supervisors in the form of a general plan
amendment, a rezoning, a tentative map and development plan.
Several potentially significant impacts were identified by' the
project's Initial Study and by responses to the projec 's Notice of
Preparation.
