Hopefully, that Disposition & Development Agreement will encompass the development of the entire 162 acres of the Focus Area. The first phase of that development will be the construction of the residential units. In order for the Agency to take action on this first phase, it must first consider the environmental impacts. A master Environmental Impact Report has already been certified for the entire Town Centre I Redevelopment Area. As the Focus Area development proceeds, it will be necessary to process supplemental EIR's for each portion of the development. Therefore, staff has distributed a Request For Proposal to five consulting firms in the San Diego area who specialize in this field. The deadline for submittal of the proposal is July 28, 1978. The proposals will be immediately evaluated and a contract will be negotiated with the successful proposer and presented to the City Council for consideration at the meeting on August 3. The contract that is attached to this agenda statement is complete except for a section relating to Schedule of Performance. That section will be negotiated with the successful proposer during the week of July 31. You are requested to consider the contract now because of the time that is required to prepare and certify an EIR. The EIR must be completed before the Planning Commission can consider the subdivision map that Mr. Zogob must submit for his residential con- struction. Therefore, it is recommended that work begin on the Environmental Impact Report as soon as possible.
