One of the <br />implementation actions listed in the General Plan Housing Element is to evaluate and change the <br />land use designations /zoning along the Harbor Boulevard corridor to allow affordable housing and <br />mixed use development opportunities. The proposed Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor will <br />include a study of the market feasibility, public services and infrastructure, community outreach, <br />and recommendations for a new sustainable land use plan. After reviewing the Harbor Corridor <br />Plan proposal, it was determined that an EIR will be required to meet the requirements of the <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Request for Proposal for consultant services was <br />prepared in conjunction with this project (Exhibit 1). The recommended environmental contract will <br />be submitted for City Council authorization after the review of proposals has been completed. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />1 <br />ay .
