3. The aforesaid local amendment is enacted pursuant to the authority of Section <br />17958.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, for the purpose of addressing the aforesaid <br />conditions which are more specifically described as follows: <br />(a) The City of San Leandro lies in the near vicinity of the Hayward Fault and <br />in fact, a substantial portion of the residential area of the City lies within <br />the Alquist-Priolo Act Special Studies Zone, requiring special geologic <br />studies prior to development. The underlying soils are subject to <br />liquefaction and amplification of seismic energy. This increases the <br />likelihood of seismic disturbances of substantial magnitude occurring and <br />causing consequent damage. Such damage is often accompanied by <br />structural fire. The City contains a large percentage of existing structures <br />constructed more than forty years ago. <br />(b) The travel time to a fire or other emergency within San Leandro may be <br />impeded by the following conditions: <br />(1) Three major railway lines, the elevated BART line, three major <br />freeways and a natural creek, divide the City into numerous sections, <br />and equipment responding to emergencies face potential delays and <br />obstruction of access in crossing these barriers. <br />(2) San Leandro lies in the path of two major water reservoirs which, <br />upon failure, would inundate a large portion of the City, further <br />delaying the response to a fire or other emergency. <br />(3) A growing community of single-family and multi-family dwellings <br />presently exists on the easterly side of Highway 580, which is itself a <br />potential physical barrier impeding response to a fire or other <br />emergency. <br />(4) The two major north-south emergency response routes aside from the <br />freeways are dependent upon bridges spanning San Leandro Creek. <br />Failure of these bridges would isolate a heavily populated section of <br />the City north of the creek. <br />4. In the event of a natural disaster inadequately reinforced and/or anchored <br />structures present a significantly greater threat to persons and property due to the increased <br />likelihood that such structures or portions of such structures may collapse in the wake of the <br />natural disaster. To allow previous structurally deficient structures to be reconstructed to such <br />condition perpetuates the threat to persons and property upon the occurrence of a subsequent <br />natural disaster. <br />5. The City Council hereby takes official notice of the General Plan (and all <br />elements thereof) of the City of San Leandro, all documents on file with the City relating to the <br />Alquist-Priolo Act Special Studies Zone and seismic reinforcement, and the findings and <br />recommendations of the Board of Appeals in this matter. <br />2 <br />
