2. Work Program • reduction and climate change adaptation, including both community- wide actions and municipal government actions; • Full descriptions of draft measures, organized by conceptual strategy, to include estimated costs and benefits, strategies for implementation, and funding sources. Measures will be ranked as high, medium, and low priority based on cost and effectiveness; • ESA will deliver one (I) electronic version of the CAP Development Memo and associated full descriptions of draft measures in Word, Excel, or other manipulative format, and one electronic version in a PDF format. Task 4: Guidance for CEQA Documentation (Environmental Review) Upon completion of the Draft CAP, ESA will prepare a technical memorandum that provides a preliminary analysis of the likely level of environmental review necessary for CEQA compliance. Based on previous experience and our review of CEQA documentation for other CAPs, it is likely that a Mitigated Negative Declaration can be prepared for the Pleasanton CAP. As part of this task, we will complete an Initial Study checklist for the Draft CAP. The checklist will be delivered along with the technical memo. Through the checklist, we will likely be able to eliminate most issue areas from further consideration, as there will be no potential for a significant impact. We will, however, focus on issue areas where there appears to be some potential for a significant impact, such as Land Use and Planning, and Traffic. For these topic areas, we will provide detailed discussion of the potential for specific programs and strategies identified in the Draft CAP to cause a significant impact. We will provide guidance on how these may be limited or altered to reduce impacts, and will also provide conclusions regarding the likelihood of a need for an EIR. Should we conclude that an EIR is likely to be necessary, we will provide our opinion on what portions of the CAP should be analyzed at a project level, vs. a programmatic level. The Initial Study will also be useful in focusing the EIR, if one is necessary. Task 4 Deliverables: • Draft and final versions of the technical memorandum. Task 5: Community Engagement Town -Green and ESA will develop and launch a community education and stakeholder engagement program to assist the City and community in developing a set of goals and objectives for the CAP. We assume that City staff will be the principal body overseeing development of the CAP, and that 2 -20 City of Pleasanton Climate Action Plan
