POTENTIALLY ISSUES POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LESS THAN NO SIGNIFICANT UNLESS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT SOURCES ISSUES MITIGATION IMPACT INCORPORATED EXPLANATION: The project area is located within the seismically active Bay Area, with several faults located within a 3-16 mile range, although the project area itself is not included in an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. Therefore, it is likely that during the lifetime of any future buildings constructed within the project area, the buildings will be subject to seismic shaking and other earthquake-induced effects. The Uniform Building Code requires new building construction to meet requirements for construction in earthquake-prone areas, which is intended to minimize any potential impacts related to seismic events. All existing development within the project area is currently served by sewers for disposal of wastewater. Future development will also be required to connect to the City's sewer system, therefore impacts related to soils types and septic tanks are not applicable. San Leandro Creek acts as the northern project area boundary, and development within its proximity could result in erosion of soils, which is a potentially significant impact. Although a majority of the project area is developed, some vacant and/or underutilized parcels still remain, where it is unknown whether on-site soils could support future development. At such time as site-specific development applications are received, the following mitigation measures are recommended in order to reduce potentially significant impacts related to on-site soils and erosion control to a less than significant level: • Prior to issuance of grading permits for future developments, the applicant shall be required to submit aaite-specific geotechnical and soils report, to be reviewed and approved by the Building Official. Any recommendations contained in the report shall become conditions of approval and be included on the plans submitted for building permit approval. • Prior to issuance of grading permits for future developments, the applicant shall be required to submit asite-specific erosion control plan, to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and Alameda County Flood Control District (for those projects bordering San Leandro Creek). -4.
