Soils, Seismicity and Geoloey Impacts The Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault, the San Andreas Fault, and the Calaveras Fault are all relatively close to the City of San Leandro. The South Hayward portion ofthe Hayward-Rodgers Creek Fault runs approximately 2.5 miles east of the TOO Strategy Area, but it is not located within an established earthquake fault zone boundary. The 2002 General Plan EIR identified that the potential for development under the General Plan would result in significant, cumulative impacts regarding geology, soils and seismicity, therefore, it would apply to development occurring under the TOO Strategy. 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: Mitieation for Soils, Seismicity and GeoIoey Impacts Prior to any new development occurring within the TOO 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 Require new development adjacent to San Leandro Creek to maintain adequate setbacks from the top of the creek bank, dedicate public access easements for creekside amenities, and where appropriate, undertake improvements such as erosion control, habitat restoration, and bank stabilization (General Plan Policy 25.02). X Minimize the risks from geologic, seismic, and flood hazards by ensuring the appropriate location, site planning, and design of new development. The City's development review process, and its engineering and building standards, should ensure that new construction is designed to minimize the potential for damage (General Plan Policy 29.01). Transportation and Circulation Impacts The San Leandro TOO Strategy could have a significant effect on transportation and circulation, particularly parking, by intensifying development in the downtown area and resulting in insufficient parking capacity under the TOO Strategy. 18
