X As required by federal, state, and regional programs, conduct monitoring of water quality in San Leandro waterways to evaluate the progress of local clean water programs and identify the necessary steps for improvement (General Plan Policy 32.04). X Encourage the use of porous pavement and other practices to reduce impervious surfaces and the amount of stonnwater runoff from parking lots and driveways (General Plan Policy 32.11). X Require drainage improvements for new development which ensure that stonnwater runoff is adequately handled both on-site and off-site and which implement state and federal clean water requirements. (General Plan Policy 52.06). Land Use Impacts Full buildout under the TOD Strategy would change most vacant and underutilized parcels in the Strategy Area to higher-density mixed-use and residential uses. Although much of this infill development would include substantially higher densities in comparison to existing development, the Strategy contains design guidelines that call for sensitive design, including transitions of mass and height between adjacent land uses. Where new land uses are introduced to the Study Area that are not consistent with the General Plan, General Plan Amendments would be required to ensure consistency between the TOD Strategy and the General Plan, as required by State law. 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 EIR. 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: Miti2ation for Land Use 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 land use impacts: X Encourage the improvement of small, neighborhood-serving shopping areas as pedestrian-oriented centers with a mix of stores providing goods and services to the surrounding residential neighborhoods (General Plan Policy 2.01). X Encourage infill development on vacant or underused sites within residential areas (General Plan Policy 3.04). 12
