The property is zoned RSC (Retail and Service Commercial) and MFR (Mutli- Family Residential). As indicated in the project description, the project would be developed in two (2) phases. The initial phase includes the construction of the office above the delicatessen, followed by the construction of the seven (7) townhomes on the vacant 0.43 -acre parcel adjacent to the Gallo Delicatessen. The applicant is proposing a tentative tract map (TTM 17386), an Interim Study Overlay (Zone Change), and a General Plan Amendment. The townhome component requires the Interim Study to allow the development of multiple - family residential dwelling units in a residential Overlay District. The amendment to the general plan is necessary to accommodate a lot line shift between the resident and commercial properties in question. The work program presented in this proposal includes a level of effort necessary to conduct the environmental analysis for the initial study, which would be utilized to prepare a mitigated negative declaration, as described in the City's Request for Proposal (RFP). The applicant has prepared several studies, including an acoustical analysis and a preliminary soils investigation, which will be utilized in the preparation of the initial study; however, additional technical studies will also be required based on discussions with City staff, including a biological assessment, air quality analysis, and archaeological records search because the applicant is proposing a general plan amendment, which necessitates consultation with Native American representatives pursuant with SB18. Ii. WORK PROGRAM A work program has been developed to ensure that the environmental review process is carried out in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Newport Beach adopted CEQA procedures. The scope of services envisioned by Keeton Kreitzer Consulting (KKC) to complete the work identified in this proposal includes: (1) the provision of competent, effective environmental analysis project management; (2) incorporation of existing and additional technical studies that have been (or will be) prepared for the proposed project (e.g., hydrology, preliminary geotechnical analysis, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, etc.); (3) preparation of the environmental documentation (i.e., initial study /mitigated negative declaration); (4) processing of the environmental documentation and public participation; (5) preparation of the final environmental document; and (6) preparation and filing of CEQA notices. These several objectives will be achieved through the completion of several work tasks. Each of these work tasks has been identified and described below.

Project coordination will be an integral part of the planning process. As such, KKC proposes to have a Project Initiation Meeting as the first step in that process. That meeting will be held at the first available time after the contract has been awarded and executed. Participants in the meeting will include representatives of the City of Newport Beach, KKC, applicant's technical consultants (if determined necessary), and project representatives deemed necessary to provide direction in the planning and environmental review process for the proposed project. Topics of discussion will include the definition of the project description, identification of responsible agencies and sources of information, and the project schedule. In summary, this task will include the following sub - tasks: Consultation and coordination of the proposed project and environmental document with the City of Newport Beach to ensure that City policies are incorporated into the Draft environmental document; Assurance that the Draft environmental document meets the requirements of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's CEQA procedures; and Coordination with City staff and attendance at up to two (2) meetings with City staff as indicated above. Estimated Time Frame: As Required Estimated Budget: $2,400.00 Task Two — Sub Consultant Studies Because the subject property has been altered as a result of grading that was necessary to accommodate past development, a walkover survey cultural resources/paleontological survey will not be undertaken. However, KKC will conduct a records survey at the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) located at California State University, Fullerton to determine the location(s) of any archaeological /cultural resource sites that may have been recorded on the subject property and/or within a one -mile radius of the site. In addition, a records survey will also be conducted at the Los Angeles County Museum of Man to document the existence /proximity of paleontological resources. The results of the records surveys will be documented in the Initial Study prepared for the proposed project In addition to conducting the cultural and scientific resources records searches, it will also be necessary to undertake an air quality/GHG emissions analysis to quantity project- related air pollutant and GHG emissions. Due to the proximity of the Buck Gully ESA to the subject property, a biological assessment will be conducted and KKC will also coordinate efforts with a biologist to adequately address potential impacts resulting from a fuel modification plan that must be prepared for the project. Estimated Time Frame: 3 Weeks Estimated Budget: $7,250.00 Proposal for Environmental Consulting Services Tentative Tract Map/Interim Study Overlay (Zone Change) General Plan Amendment July 23, 2010 PROPOSAL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING SERVICES TENTATIVE TRACT MAP17NTERIM STUDY OVERLA Y (ZONE CHANGE )IGENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT Task Three — Initial Studv /Mitigated Neaative Declaration KKC will be responsible for the preparation of the initial study for the proposed project. Based on a review of the State CEQA Guidelines, the proposed project is neither statutorily nor categorically exempt. Therefore, it would be subject to CEQA review. In order to achieve the objective of preparing a (Mitigated) Negative Declaration, the initial study must necessarily be extensive and thorough. Each of the remaining topics identified on the City's environmental assessment form or, if desired by the City, on the State CEQA Guidelines will be analyzed to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences (and the need for mitigation). The specific purpose of the analysis will be to document the lack of adverse environmental impacts associated with the proposed residential project to support the environmental determination that no significant impacts will occur (following mitigation) as a result of project implementation. Based on the proposed project, R is anticipated that any potentially significant environmental impacts that would be anticipated can be mitigated, resulting in the preparation of a mitigated negative declaration. As reflected above and in the work program, KKC has presented a scope of work for the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS /MND). The proposed IS/MND will be submitted to the City of Newport Beach for review and comment KKC will revise the initial study based on the comments made by City staff and prepare the Draft IS/MND. Once completed, the Draft document will be distributed for a 30-day public review and comment period as required by the State CEQA Guidelines for local project. KKC will be responsible for distributing the document to the list of recipients developed by the City. KKC will also be responsible for posting the Notice of Intent to Prepare a Negative Declaration both at the Orange County Clerk- Recorders Office and at the City of Newport Beach. Estimated Time Frame: 4 Weeks Estimated Budget $8,020.00 Task Four - Preparation of the Final Negative Declaration KKC, in cooperation with the Newport Beach Planning Department staff, will prepare written responses to all relevant comments received during the public review and comment period. These responses will be submitted to the City of Newport Beach for review prior to completion of the Final Negative Declaration. It is important to note that the budget identified below reflects a limited amount of public comments. This budget may be revised if, after a thorough review of all comments received on the Draft (Mitigated) Negative Declaration, it is determined that it is inadequate to respond to all of the comments received on that document. Estimated Time Frame: 1 Week Estimated Budget: $1,840.00 Task Five - Public Hearings If requested by the City, KKC will attend two (2) public hearings, including one before the Newport Beach Planning Commission and one before the City Council. The PrincipaVProject Manager will attend the public hearing and will be responsible for making all presentations and responding to questions raised during the public hearing. Should additional hearings be required, they will be charged at the appropriate hourly rate.

Once completed, these forms will be submitted to the City for review. KKC will also be responsible for filing these notices with the State Clearinghouse and Orange County Clerk- Recorder. It is important to note, however, that the filing fees are not reflected in the estimated budget for miscellaneous expenses. Although total budget includes the NOD filing fee that must be paid to the Orange County Clerk- Recorder at the time the NOD is filed, it does not include the Department of Fish and Game filing fee, which must also be paid to the Orange County Clerk- Recorder at when the NOD is filed, if it is determined that the project is not exempt from the fee.
