Contlict with adopted policies, plans, or Programs supporting alternative transportation X 2 (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? h. Trigger CMA Review? (GPA involving more than 100 p.m. peak hour trips generated over X 2 existing general plan land use) EXPLANA nON: This project is a request for a rezoning of five sites within the community for the purpose of bringing the underlying zoning into conformance with the General Plan designation. Any future development proposals for the site would undergo their own envirorunental analysis, and are anticipated to have traffic generation rates similar to those assumed for the existing General Plan. The number of net new trips would be the same or less than are presently allowed under existing General Plan land use designations so that the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) threshold would not be exceeded. The proposed project would have no impact on local air traffic patterns, as it involves rezoning of properties. Future specific development projects will also be required to provide adequate on-site parking and bicycle facilities. Emergency access provisions and design safety considerations will be reviewed by the City of San Leandro at such time as individual development projects are propose to ensure consistency with appropriate City design standards. n.

X 2 EXPLANATION: The City of San Leandro administrative code provides for the collection of impact fees at the time of new development. The concept of the impact fee program is to fund and sustain improvements that are needed as a result of new development as stated in the General Plan and other policy documents within the fee program. Development Impact Fees fall into the following categories, among others: Park Development Impact Fees, Development Fees for Street Improvements, Utility Undergrounding fees, etc. These fees, and the associated funded improvements, would mitigate any impacts of subsequent developments that could be facilitated as a result of project approval. Individual developments proposed as a result of the proposed project will be subject to several of the above-referenced fees. Similarly, any new development will be required to pay school district impact fees to off-set any impacts to educational facilities. No impacts would therefore result to public service providers. 12.UTIUTIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: . a.
