WORK PROGRAM The following Work Program has been prepared pursuant to the information provided by the City in their Request For Proposal letter dated October 17, 2005, our understanding of the project, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. TASK 1.0 PROJECT KICK-OFF AND NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF AN EIR SUBTASK 1.1 RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION RBF will obtain project data and information from the City, local, state, and federal agencies, and all other agencies that may be affected by the project. RBF will review this information, along with environmental data and information from the City and other nearby jurisdictions, as the foundation of the EIR. Information will be incorporated into the EIR and other analysis, as deemed appropriate. SUBTASK 1.2 NOTICE OF PREPARATION RBF will assist City staff in preparing the necessary documents for the Notice of Preparation, including analysis and exhibits requested by the City. RBF will use the previously prepared initial study and environmental checklist in preparation of the document. TASK 2.0 PREPARATION OF SCREENCHECK EIR SUBTASK 2.1 INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed project is subject to CEQA provisions and City CEQA implementation procedures that will be cited in the Introduction. The introduction will also identify the purpose of the study and statutory authority, document scoping procedures, and provide a summary of the EIR format, a listing of responsible and trustee agencies, and a listing of documentation incorporated by reference. SUBTASK 2.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RBF will provide an Executive Summary for the EIR including a project summary, an overview of project impacts, mitigation and levels of significance after mitigation, summary of project alternatives, areas of controversy, and issues to be resolved. The Executive Summary will also provide a table identifying the significant impacts and proposed mitigation measures. This section will be assembled so it may be used as a stand-alone document. SUBTASK 2.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The Project Description section of the EIR will detail the project location, background and history of the project, discretionary actions, characteristics, goals and objectives, phasing, agreements, and permits and approvals that are required for the Pagel CDNBULTINQ (Panto (Beachfront Vittage Vision <P(an (program project based on available information. This section will include a summary of the local environmental setting for the project. SUBTASK 2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The Environmental Setting section will include a summary of the regional and local environmental setting for the project. This section will establish baseline environmental conditions for resources affected but the project. This section will include a discussion on resources that are unique to the area on a regional and local level. As required, this section will also provide a discussion of the project's consistency with regional and local plans that affect the project. SUBTASK 2.5 CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS RBF will evaluate the necessary information with respect to the existing conditions, the potential adverse effects of project implementation (both individual and cumulative), and measures to mitigate such effects. Environmental issues raised during the scoping process (Notice of Preparation responses and any other relevant and valid informative sources) will also be evaluated. The analyses will be based upon all available data, results from additional research, and an assessment of existing technical data. RBF in-house Environmental Analysts, CEQA experts and Planners will perform these analyses. The Environmental Analysis section of the EIR will discuss the existing conditions for each environmental issue area, and identify short-term and long-term environmental impacts associated with the project and their levels of significance. Mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce the significance of impacts and identify areas of unavoidable significant adverse impacts even after mitigation. This section will include analysis for the following environmental issue areas: A. Aesthetics and Visual Character This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. Visual Simulations. RBF has extensive experience in preparing highly accurate and defendable computer-based visual simulations. Visual simulations provide an accurate depiction of proposed structures from varying viewpoints. The advantage of visual simulations is that they provide the City staff with an opportunity to preview the proposed development and identify potential opportunities and constraints with the chosen improvements. Additionally, they provide the public and decision makers with a graphic illustration of the proposed changes on which to make more meaningful comments. Based on experience with prior coastal projects requiring approval by the Coastal Commission, RBF recommends the preparation of visual simulations. Page2 (Ponto (Beachfront Vitta$e Vision <P(an (Program Approach. Computer modeling of the proposed project will be accomplished utilizing state-of-the-art software. Each piece of software is selected based on it appropriateness and accuracy for each part of the modeling effort. This includes: a Terramodel for all terrain and hardscape Q FormZ and ArchiCad for all architectural elements. Site Modeling Topography and Grading. The proposed grading and terrain development for the proposed improvements will be computer modeled at a level of detail sufficient to depict the project realistically from all chosen viewpoints. The model will include proposed buildings, landscaping, open space areas, sidewalks, enhanced paving, and landscaping. Structure Modeling. For the proposed buildings, e.g., hotel and residential buildings, site modeling will be based on designs provided by the City. If no designs are available, general building designs that generally match the proposed development will be used. All structures will be modeled at level of detail sufficient to depict the project from the various viewpoints. The model will include doors, windows and architectural detail necessary to provide an accurate representation. Photography Professional photographs will be taken with a Fuji GX 617 Panoramic camera providing a 2.25 x 6 inch film transparency. Back-up shots will be taken using a Nikon D1X digital camera. All panoramas that require a wider field of view than 80 degrees will be shot with the Nikon D1X and seamed together using specialized software. The exact location and elevation of these photographs will be determined using GPS technology to ensure a precise perspective of each viewpoint. All photographs will be taken as specified by the client. Setup and Rendering The computer model will be aligned to each of the photographs utilizing state of the art rendering and Electric Image Universe animation software. Proper shading and texturing will be applied to the geometry and the various views corresponding to the photographs will be rendered photo-realistically. Photo Composition The rendered images will be superimposed onto the original photographs using Photoshop compositing software. Enhancements will include landscaping and foreground masking. All photo simulations will be presented in color format. Each page will show existing conditions, and a simulation of the proposed project with a thin outline showing the massing of the existing buildings (where relevant) for reference. PageS CONSULT* NO ^""wpVrr^l (Ponto (Beachfront Village Vision <PCan (Program This task includes five view locations. Additional views may be identified based on further scope refinement with the City and/or discussions with Coastal Commission staff. The costs for the above scope is described below based on the following level of detail: The buildings will include doors, windows and moderate architectural detail. The terrain will be modeled with curbs and gutters, sidewalks and accurate grading. Moderate amounts of landscaping are included to illustrate its impact or mitigation on the view. B. Agricultural Resources This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Request for Proposal. C. Air Quality This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Request for Proposal. RBF will prepare a technical air quality analysis that will be integrated into the EIR. The air quality analysis will contain the following elements: Existing Conditions. The proposed project site is within the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB), under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD). Baseline and project setting meteorological and air quality data will be developed through climatological and air quality profile data gathered by the SDAPCD and the California Air Resources Board (CARS). Other sources such as regulatory documents, professional publications, and RBF experience in the project area will supplement background information. A summary of current air quality management efforts that may be related to the proposed project will be provided. A brief overview of the nature and location of existing sensitive receptors will be provided to set the context for how such uses may be affected. Construction-related Air Quality. RBF will calculate the construction emissions commensurate with available project-specific information. Emission factors will be based on the URBEMIS2002 and EMFAC2002 air quality models.

In addition, an impacts analysis will be conducted for all direct and indirect significant and less than significant project effects. The direct impacts analysis will include effects to sensitive vegetation communities, sensitive plant and animal species, and jurisdictional areas resulting from implementation of the proposed project (including grading, brush management, trails, or other project-related impact). The indirect impacts analysis Pages CONSULTING (ponto ^Beachfront Vitta$e Vision <Ptan (Program will include effects to sensitive vegetation communities and sensitive plant and animal species resulting from light and glare, decreased water quality (i.e., through sedimentation, contaminants, or fuel release), fugitive dust, colonization of non- native plant species, edge effects, animal breeding behavioral changes, roadkill, and construction noise. In addition, Helix will conduct a review of the consistency of the proposed project with the City Habitat Management Plan to be included in the biological resources section for the EIR. Helix will recommend appropriate mitigation to be included in the biological resources section for the EIR. Helix will identify any impacts remaining after implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. Management/Meetings. Helix has assumed 60 hours for management/meetings with the project team and City. If Client requests additional services that cause Helix to exceed the time allocated for this task, Helix will need to amend this task and its associated costs. E. Cultural / Historical Resources This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. To complete the analysis of the cultural/historical resources in the project area, RBF has teamed with the professional historians at Brian F. Smith and Associates (BFSA). BFSA will conduct a cultural resource inventory on the specified project area. The scope of work will include a records search of the project and surrounding area to list all sites within the project area that have been previously recorded. An historical survey will be conducted to identify all historic or potentially historic elements of the City's project. If historic properties are identified in the project area, an historical assessment will be completed to evaluate historic structures. A technical report will also be prepared in accordance with CEQA regulations to present the findings of the records searches and structure evaluations. BFSA shall furnish all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and transportation to perform the work described herein. The scope of work for these services is provided below: Institutional Records Searches Prior to the initiation of the project, an updated archaeological site files record search will be conducted at the appropriate archaeological records information center. A list of additional studies conducted and all new registered archaeological sites located within one mile of the subject property will be documented from the record search inquiry. Copies of all reports pertaining to the immediate project area will be gathered. PageG CONSULTING (Ponto (Beachfront Vitta$e Vision <P(an (Program Native American Consultation Brian F. Smith and Associates is aware of the importance that Native American consultation can play in any project where cultural resources could be identified as related to a specific group. BFSA is committed to the successful identification of Native American cultural values, issues, and concerns through consultation with tribal governments and practitioners of traditional culture and religion. Furthermore, the consideration of Native American concerns early in any project can minimize the potential for later project complications. It is the goal of the consultation process to identify both the resource management concerns and the strategies for addressing them, through an interactive dialogue with appropriate Native American communities. Native American concerns may require the consideration of different approaches to and treatment of cultural resources than the usual excavation and analysis, particularly in those situations when mitigation is not a realistic option. Such a situation may arise when a proposed action would infringe on constitutional rights or treaty rights. For BFSA, the general outline of consultation procedures focuses on Native American interests and concerns, but the approach is not significantly different from the approaches employed to identify and address the points of view and convictions of other interested parties. It is the nature of the planning and environmental review process to give adequate consideration to issues from outside the single agency performing the action, including those that do not lend themselves to physical inspection or objective and quantifiable analysis. BFSA has worked with many of the Native American groups, tribes, and reservations throughout southern California and has developed a mutual respect and an ability to address their concerns. Modified Phase I Process—Re-Survey A qualified archaeologist would need to visit the site to verify that there have been no adverse impacts to the property since the 2003 RECON study and to ascertain the current condition of the site. The field survey generally consists of the field check of known resources through intensive field reconnaissance of the entire subject property. In addition to the specific location of resources, a Phase I would also establish a sense of the horizontal extent of the identified resources as it compares to the previously recorded boundaries of the sites, a general impression regarding the potential for subsurface deposits, as well as an initial assessment of the integrity of the resource. Areas of high cultural probability and with dense vegetation are given extra care in order to accurately identify any resources. At the Phase I investigation level, prehistoric and historic site documentation consists of the completion of California Historic Resources Inventory forms following the guidelines of the Instructions for Recording Historic Resources (Office of Historic Preservation 1995). Report The final report will adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Office of Historic Preservation for the Archaeological Research Management Reports (ARMR). Page? CONSULTING (Ponto (Beachfront Vittage Vision <Ptan (Program F. Geology, Soils, and Seismicity This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. To complete the required geotechnical analysis, RBF has teamed up with Kleinfelder, Inc. The geotechnical analysis shall consist of review of existing reports and published information and a geologic site reconnaissance. No new borings are anticipated for this phase of the project. After review of existing information and site reconnaissance, a feasibility level geotechnical report will be prepared that will take into consideration the geotechnical elements of the site. Geologic hazards will be addressed including faulting, landslides and liquefaction. G. Hazards and Hazardous Materials This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. If necessary, RBF will prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to evaluate the presence of potentially hazardous materials and will integrate this analysis into the EIR. The Scope of Work shall include the following: Peer Review Delineation of Jurisdictional Waters RBF will conduct a peer review and prepare a summary technical memorandum based on the existing Delineation of Jurisdictional Waters (JD) (provided by the client) that has been prepared for the subject site. RBF's review of the JD focuses on the format, rather than findings for the subject site. This Task does not include an RBF site reconnaissance, permit applications, and resource agency consultation. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment RBF will prepare a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the proposed project. The objectives of the Phase I ESA is to: (1) evaluate the potential for hazardous materials on the site, and (2) generally characterize the expected nature of hazardous materials that may be present. The assessment is not intended to provide specific qualitative or quantitative information as to the actual presence of hazardous materials at the site, but merely identify the potential presence based on available information and provide preliminary conclusions relative to site conditions. This scope specifically excludes laboratory testing, field sampling and chain of title documents (although these can be reviewed by RBF if provided by the Client). The documentation will be designed to document past activities, facilities, or waste disposal practices, which may have resulted in soil or groundwater contamination. Past site usage will be investigated through an aerial photograph review, interviews, review of former permits, review of documents on file, and a research of former PageS "^*<isXrrji <Ponto (Beachfront Vitiate Vision <P[an (Program citations from state and local agencies (if any). Current site conditions will be documented by an on-site inspection of the project area. H. Hydrology / Water Quality This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. RBF will prepare a preliminary drainage report and stormwater management plan to evaluate potential impacts to hydrology and water quality. The scope of work will include preparation of an analysis of the pre- and post-project conditions of on-site hydrology and drainage. RBF's Water Resources Division will prepare a drainage study for the project to analyze on-site hydrologic changes resulting from the project. The study will include a comparison of the existing conditions hydrologic characteristics to the proposed conditions characteristics. It is anticipated that the City will require the project to attenuate any increases in 100-year peak flows leaving the property, therefore this task includes time to prepare preliminary detention calculations, as well as time to for a meeting with City staff to discuss any issues that arise during the review process. This scope of work does not include a watershed analysis, analysis of off-site drainage facilities, preparation of calculations or designs for actual construction documents, or responses to plan check cycles beyond the second cycle. Additional plan check cycles or extra work can be addressed and completed upon City approval. /. Land Use Planning This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. /. Mineral Resources This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. K. Noise This section of the EIR will be prepared in accordance with the scope of work included in the Ponto Beachfront Village Vision Plan Request for Proposal. RBF will prepare a technical noise analysis that will be integrated into the EIR. The noise analysis will contain the following elements: Existing Conditions. RBF will review applicable State and City noise and land use compatibility criteria for the project area. Noise standards regulating noise impacts in the Noise Element and Noise Ordinance of the City of Carlsbad will be discussed for land uses on and adjacent to the project sites. The areas with potential future noise impacts will be identified using land use information, aerial photographs, and field Page9 CONS ULTIMO (Ponto (Beachfront Vittage Vision <Pfan Program reconnaissance. Existing roadway traffic noise within the project area will be calculated using traffic data included in the traffic study. RBF will conduct a site visit along the project sites and at adjacent land uses. During the site visit, RBF will conduct short-term noise level measurements along the project area. Noise monitoring equipment will consist of a Larson Davis Laboratories Model LDL 820 sound level meter (SLM) equipped with Larson Davis Type 2561 random incidence microphone. The instrumentation will be calibrated prior to use with a Larson Davis CAL250 acoustical calibrator to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. The measurements and procedures shall be compatible with the applicable requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Type I (precision) sound level meters. The results of the noise measurements will be post-processed and graphically illustrated with the Larson Davis Laboratories Data Navigation Analysis (DNA) software. The noise monitoring survey will be conducted at up to eight separate locations to establish anticipated sound levels for potentially affected adjacent residences. Noise recording lengths are anticipated to require approximately 10 minutes at each location. The noise measurements will evaluate noise exposure due to traffic while accounting for local topography, shielding from existing structures, and variations in travel speed. Construction-related Noise. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended noise emission levels and attenuation rates will be used for construction equipment during construction of the proposed project. Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area and the Noise Ordinance specifications of the City. Stationary Noise Sources. Potential effects of existing off-site noise sources will be evaluated based on the City's land use compatibility standards. Compliance with applicable noise standards will be evaluated, with recommended mitigation measures included where appropriate. Stationary noise impacts resulting from the interaction of the proposed mixed-uses will also be discussed. Rail Noise. Railroad noise levels will be calculated using the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Noise Assessment guidelines. RBF will investigate any potential impacts arising from the adjacent rail line utilizing the Federal Rail Administration methodology. To conduct this analysis, RBF will research the train patterns adjacent to the project site and model the train movement noise and horn noise. Traffic Noise. Noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108, December 1978). The analysis will focus on potential noise impacts to residential areas. Model input data will include average daily traffic volumes, day/night percentages of autos, medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway widths. The 24-hour weighted Community Noise Equivalent Levels (CNEL) will be presented in a tabular format. Traffic parameters necessary for the model input will be obtained from the traffic study. PagelO CONOULTfNO (Ponto (Beachfront Vittage Vision <Ptan (Program Mitigation Measures.

The traffic analysis will contain the following elements: Update Traffic Study RBF will review the September 2004 "Traffic Constraints Study" prepared for the project study area. In this task, RBF will update the data and reformat the report to be consistent with City traffic study requirements. RBF will update the existing conditions peak hour traffic volume data to reflect 2005 traffic count data from City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan. As the traffic study is updated to reflect existing conditions, the report will be reformatted to adhere to both City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan standards. All signalized intersections in the study area will be graphically illustrated and provided in the traffic report. If necessary, project-generate trips will be recalculated and redistributed on the roadway network, if changes to land use have occurred since the last traffic report was prepared. RBF will review and update the list of study intersections and roadway segments. Locations forecast to carry 20 percent or more of the project-generated traffic will be added to the traffic study, if not previously included. Page11 C D N B U LTIN D (Ponto (Beachfront Vittage Vision <Pfan Program The traffic study will be formatted such that the following scenarios are addressed: • Existing Conditions • Existing Plus Project • 2010 without/with Project (near-term) • 2030 without/with Project (horizon year) This format is consistent with the requirements set forth in the SANTEC/ITE traffic study guidelines. Intersections and roadway segments forecast to be impacted under project conditions will be identified in the traffic study. Significant impacts will be based on the SANTEC/ITE threshold of a two percent change in V/C ratios for both intersections (with LOS calculated using ICU methodology) and peak hour roadway segment analysis. At locations forecast to operate at deficient levels of service improvements will be recommended. The jurisdiction of each impacted intersection and/or roadway segment will be clearly identified in the traffic report. RBF will work closely with City staff to ensure that all planned improvement projects included in the City's Growth Management Plan are identified in the study area and included in proposed improvements, where appropriate. Where improvements cannot fully satisfy all impacts, those locations will be clearly addressed in the traffic report. A thorough review of the project site plan will be provided in the traffic study that addresses pedestrian linkages through the site, bicycle access, and on-site circulation. Through this evaluation, RBF will work with City staff to document linkages between communities to ensure compliance with City's access requirements. Response to Comments RBF will review and respond to comment letters relating to both Planning Commission and City Council hearings. If necessary, the traffic report will be modified to address comments.
