The Redevelopment Plan for the Plaza 2 Redevelopment Project Area specifically provides for the inclusion of the San Leandro Creek bed and banks as Open Space (Natural State).

No tree larger than 4 inches in diameter, measured at a point 12 inches above average natural grade, shall be cut, damaged, or removed without prior approval by the Agency. No cutting or filling of any land shall be undertaken without prior approval by the Agency. No obstruction to the natural flow of water through such area shall be permitted. No building or structure shall be erected therein without prior Agency approval." These restrictions, coupled with the restrictions imposed by the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to protect. its interests in the creek, will eliminate any potentially significant adverse impact on animal or plant life in the creek area. 9.
