X Encourage a mix of price ranges to provide housing choices for San Leandro residents of all incomes and ages. Opportunities to include affordable units and market rate units within the same development projects should be pursued (General Plan Policy 3.02). Public Services and Recreation Impacts An increase in population under the TOD Strategy could increase the demand for fire suppression services, police services and the need for city parks and recreational opportunities, public libraries and schools in the Strategy area, as development under the TOD Strategy would be intensified. It is estimated that approximately 3,431 new residential units with an estimated population of 8,749 people, approximately 718,240 square feet of office and approximately 120,870 square feet of retail space could be added within the Strategy area over the next 20 years. This increase in population and development exceeds San Leandro General Plan projections and could adversely affect public services and recreational opportunities within the Study area. 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: Miti!!ation for Public Services and Recreation 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 public services and recreation impacts: X Promote collaborative, creative solutions between the public and private sectors to develop additional schools, parks and other public facilities in the City (General Plan Policy 4.03). X Require new residential development to pay an impact fee and/or to dedicate parkland to offset the increase in park needs resulting from new residents. Where on-site parkland is dedicated, it should be improved, maintained, and accessible to the general public (General Plan Policy 22.02). X Work with neighborhood groups to develop mini-parks, landscaped pockets, community gardens, and similar areas that beautify neighborhoods, build community spirit, and provide places of enjoyment within residential areas (General Plan Policy 22.06). 16
