within the referral boundary. Because the project does not require any of these approvals, the project does not require review by the ALUC to determine consistency with the Alameda County Airport Land Use Policy Plan (ALUC, 1986). Staff for the ALUC, however, has indicated that the project is consistent with the ALUC plan, although the project may be required to apply for a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permit for the crane used in construction, and any lighting included in the project must be consistent with airport plan standards (Horvath, 2004). The ALUC Policy Plan states that: "Any use which would direct a steady light or flashing light of red, white, green, or amber colors associated with airport operations toward an aircraft: engaged in an initial straight climb following take-off or toward an aircraft: engaged in a straight final approach toward a landing at an airport": is prohibited in airport safety zones. The San Leandro General Plan contains policies and action measures related to the proximity of the airport (City of San Leandro, 2002). Goal 6-48 states the intent to "Minimize the local impacts and hazards created by air traffic, ground operations, and all other aviation activities, particularly those associated with Oakland International Airport." Because the existing Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline park has operated in proximity to the airport for years and the addition of the bridge and extension of the bicycle trail would not be expected to subject greater numbers of people to significant risks or dangers, the hazards associated with airport operations and aircraft: overflights on the project are considered a less-than-significant impact. See further discussion of airport related issues under Section XI Noise, below. potentially Potentially Significant unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact VIII.
