Cumulative Impacts to Schools The City of San Leandro is served by two school districts. The San Leandro Unified School District (SLUSD) serves about three-quarters of the City's students and the entire study area. In southern San Leandro, the remaining one-quarter of students attend schools under the jurisdiction of the San Lorenzo Unified School District. The projected impact on the SLUSD would consists of approximately 639 new students. The net SLUSD capacity impact as a result of the TOD Strategy is a capacity deficit of 563 students, the majority of which will come from the future capacity deficit created at the elementary schools (with McKinley absorbing the greatest impact at a 208 (96) student deficit. Cumulative impacts to schools and teaching facilities will be significant and unavoidable, as population growth as a result of the TOD Strategy impacts school facilities within the TOD Strategy Area. The project includes mitigation measures which would lessen the project's contribution to significant cumulative environmental effects, as identified in the Final EIR, but such effects would continue to be significant. three elementary school attendance boundaries (Washington, McKinley, and Wilson) and the two attendance boundaries of the District's only two middle schools (Bancroft and John Muir). All high school students generated from development as part of the TOD strategy would attend San Leandro High School. Impacts to schools and teaching facilities will be significant and unavoidable, as will cumulative impacts. The City of San Leandro also finds that as to such significant effects identified above: Specific economic, legal, social, technological or other considerations, make infeasible project alternatives identified in the EIR. Transportation and Circulation Impacts X The San Leandro TOD Strategy could have a significant effect on transportation by impacting existing level of services that could occur as a result of development that would be allowed under the Strategy. The San Leandro General Plan proposes a standard of LOS "D" for most intersections in the City. It is acknowledged that LOS "E" is acceptable where special circumstances exist, such as Downtown and pedestrian- oriented areas. The traffic analysis included in the DEIR evaluated the potential impacts of two development scenarios: existing plus project and cumulative (year 2030) conditions. As a result, it was determined that the operation of the MacArthur Boulevard and Estudillo A venue intersection will be LOS "F" during both peak periods, with implementation of the proposed project. This would be considered a significant and unavoidable impact, with implementation of TOD Strategy EIR Mitigation Measure TRANS-I. Additionally, implementation of the TOD Strategy could also result in significant impacts it if results in insufficient parking capacity in the Downtown area. 29
