SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with the Metropolitan Planning Group to prepare the San Rafael
General Plan 2020 10 -Year Review and Housing Element Update, and for as -
needed, long-range planning services; City file no. P13-003
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the City of San Rafael adopted the San Rafael General Plan 2020 (General Plan) and certified
'the accompanying Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Since 2004, the General Plan has been
periodically amended. The last major amendment was adopted in 2011, which incorporated the following:
1) a new Sustainability Element to address our Climate Change Action Plan and Qualified Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Reduction Strategy; and 2) an updated Housing Element to cover the State -mandated
Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA). The 2011 Housing Element Update has been certified by the
State of California Department of Housing and Community Development
State law requires that the Housing Element be updated every 7-8 years. The next cycle (2014-2022
RHNA) requires that our Housing Element be updated, locally -adopted and certified by HCD by the end of
2014. Further, the General Plan anticipates that the City will complete a•
five-year review of the General
Plan to determine progress and to address any changes or updates. The City is preparing to commence
with work on the next 2014-2022 RHNA cycle and completion of a 1 0 -year review of our General Plan.
At present, the City of San Rafael Community Development Department does not have a staff position
that manages our Long -Range Planning Division., Consequently, staff has been working to hire a
consulting firm experienced in long-range/advanced planning and capable of completing the Housing
Element update and General Plan 10 -Year review. Following a competitive bid and "request for proposal"
process, staff has selected the Metropolitan Planning Group (M -Group) to provide this service.
The M -Group has prepared a proposal for services (see attached Exhibit A to Attachment A), which
covers the following scope®
1. Preparation and manaqement of the General Plan 10- ear Review. Preparation of working
documents, reports and correspondence. Land Use Element Program LU -1a (Five -Year Growth
Assessment) prescribes that the City conduct a five-year growth assessment to assess growth,
Council Meeting: )C)#

the traffic gation list and the traffic mitigation fee. For this 10 -year review, the scope will be
limited to the following:
a. An update of the General Plan text to eliminate obsolete and/or updated information, (e.g.,
General Plan references the "San Rafael Redevelopment Agency," which is no longer in
existence).
b. Incorporate corrections and minor amendments to the Land Use Map.
c. Reporting on the status and progress of the implementing programs in the General Plan.
d. Reporting on the status and progress of growth since the 2004 adoption.
e. Updating the description of the planned transportation improvements list (traffic mitigation
list).
The work program for this 10 -year review does not include any traffic modeling or analysis oc'
traffic capacity, or related changes to the currently -adopted citywide traffic mitigation fee. The
Public Works Director has advised that we take a "wait and see" approach to assessing and
modeling traffic. Traffic modeling will not be completed until the SMART service is up -and -
running (2016) and that there is adequate time for local traffic to adjust to this rail service.
2. Preparation and manaqement of Housing Element U date for the 2014-2022 RHNA . This
service shall include preparation and coordination through document certification by HCD. The
Housing Element Update shall be prepared consistent with the "Housing Element Update
Guidance 71 recently published by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
3. On-call, long-range planning assistance. In addition to the above -summarized services, the
consultant shall provide General Plan and Long -Range Planning assistance and advice to the
City on an (ton-calill or "as -needed" basis. This service will include periodic consultation regarding
case law, and other State and regional initiatives that impact the General Plan 2020 and related
long-range planning requirements.
The proposal includes a timeline/schedule to ensure that the work outlined in 1 and 2 above is
completed by the end of 2014 (see Exhibit A, page 39 for Schedule). The scope of work calls for
combg the General Plan 10 -Year review and Housing Element Update for cost savings and
efficiency.
The scope of work includes consultant assistance in community outreach and public process.
However, it is expected that the Planning Division staff will take the lead on this effort.
)II;� As no major changes to the San Rafael General Plan 2020 and Housing Element are envisioned
for this project, there is no proposal to reconvene the General Plan Steering Committee or the
individual task groups that participated in the preparation of the General Plan 2020. The Planning
Commission and the City Council will serve in this capacity.
In terms of environmental (CEQA) review that will be required for the General Plan 10 -Year
review and Housing Element Update, the consultants recommend a two -phased process. The
first phase would involve the preparation of an Initial Study to determine the extent of (if any)
impacts associated with the project. The second phase would involve the preparation of an EIR
Addendum, which is the same type of environmental document that was prepared for the review
and adoption of the last Housing Element update
The budget for the consultant services is presented in attached Exhibit A, Section 6 (Fee Schedule). A
not -to -exceed amount of $123,231.00 is proposed, which includes the preparation of the necessary
environmental documents and a 25% contingency. The 25% contingency ($24,646.00) would provide
access to additional funds in the event* 1) there are some unexpected tasks or requirements encountered
during the Housing Element process; and 2) on-call, long-range planning assistance is needed.
ANALYSIS-.
The M -Group was selected for several reasons. First, the cost for services was considerably lower
their competitor. Second, the M -Group has an excellent track record in preparing and achieving the Stat
certification of Housing Elements. The M -Group staff has a good working relationship with HCD sta
Lastly, the M -Group has local experience in this service having recently prepared and achieved Stat
certification of Housing Elements for Sausalito, Belvedere and Mill Valley. I
