. future land use maps delineating residential, commercial, industrial, public, agricultural, and undeveloped areas adjacent to the proposed alignments. 4.5.1.2 _ Community Facilities Through contact with local officials, research of available records,telephonedireewries,>CU1dfield inventory, the community services and facilities within the project area will be identified. Local public service organizations will be contacted for information on their operational procedures and any comments they may have on the proposed alternatives. 4.5.1.3 Social-Economic Impacts The Contractor will analyze socio-economic impacts associated with the build and no build project alternatives per the FfA process and requirements. This analysis will evaluate both positive and negative impacts to the corridor, the community and site specific areas that include commuter rail station areas, park-and-ride facilities, and areas designated for future joint development. The Contractor will analyze land use changes, such as, opportunity for development, and zoning modifications that may result form the configuration or operation of the alternatives proposed. The socio-economic impacts that may result from such land use changes will be evaluated and documented. Potential impacts from the standpoint of short-term and permanent employment created from construction and operation of the proposed facility will be assessed and quantified. 4.5.1.4 Environmental Justice and Title 6 Compliance . Potential impacts on neighborhoods will be identified from the neighborhood profiles developed in previous subtasks, from U.S. census data, city, county, and from the ongoing public participation process. Rather than making judgments as to the significance of social impacts, this analysis will quantify impacts and will identify the types of individual groups most likely to be affected. Particular attention will be given to the transit-dependent population. 4.5.1.5 Displacements and Relocation The Contractor will be responsible for preparing a technical memorandum that documents the right-of-way acquisition associated with the various alternatives being considered for the project. As part of the referenced technical memorandum, the Contractor will examine the amount and location of property proposed for acquisition using available aerial photography and through conducting windshield surveys along the commuter rail line. Additionally, the estimated cost to acquire the property and relocate impacted residential or business structures will be calculated. The mitigation section of the technical memorandum will include a summary of the relocation payments and services as required under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1970, as. amended, and as required by state law. 4.5.1.6 Archaeological and Historic Features The scope of work for archaeological and historic features is based on the assumption that since the project will use an operating rail line, and earth disturbing activities will generally be limited to the location of stations, that the project will generate few new impacts to cultural resources. .
