X Discourage the removal of healthy trees and require replacements for any tress that are removed from street rights-of-way. Where healthy trees must be removed, consider their relocation to other suitable sites instead of their disposal (General Plan Policy 44.03). Cultural Resource Impacts Numerous historical resources exist within the TOD Strategy area, and development taking place under the TOD Strategy has the potential to adversely affect these resources either temporarily or permanently. Downtown San Leandro and the adjacent BART station are known to contain archeological resources from the mid-19th Century. Potential temporary impacts include those caused by noise and vibration during construction. Potential permanent impacts could include demolition of historically significant structures to accommodate new development proposed under the strategy. Therefore, cultural resources such as historical, archeological and paleontological resources in the City of San Leandro could be cumulatively impacted by future development. The City of San Leandro finds that, as to the significant effect identified above: Changes have been required of and incorporated into the project. These changes would 'Substantially lessen the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the Final EJR. This finding is based on the fact that the City of San Leandro shall require any new development occurring under the Strategy to incorporate General Plan policies and mitigation measures, as follows: Mitie:ation for Cultural Resource Impacts Prior to any new development occurring within the TOD Strategy Area, the developer will provide a plan to the City of San Leandro that utilizes all or some combination of the following strategies to reduce cultural resource impacts: X Encourage the formation of local historic districts where historic sites and structures are concentrated (General Plan Policy 38.04). X Update, expand, and maintain inventories of San Leandro's historic resources, using criteria and survey methods that are consistent with state and federal guidelines (General Plan Policy 38.06). X Ensure that new development, alterations, and remodeling projects on or adjacent to historic properties are sensitive to historic resources and are compatible with the surrounding historic context. Ensure that the San Leandro Zoning Ordinance and any future design guidelines include the necessary standards and guidelines to implement this policy (General Plan Policy 38.07). 8
