Appendix E (Initial Study/Part• ~ Page 11 Redevelopment Plan Land Use Designation of Retail/Office/Residential. The appropriate infrastructure is available to connect future improvements with existing utility lines as this is an infill location. 10. e. There was a case closure letter issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board for the site. The site does contain some remaining soil contamination from a fueling station. Excavation of this portion of the site could expose workers to diesel- contaminated soil. Mitigation: Any excavation of contaminated soil must be conducted by a qualified contractor operating under required state guidelines for the excavation and disposal of petroleum contaminated soils. Implementation of this mitigation measure would result in a less than significant impact. 12. The project is located in the Plaza 2 Redevelopment Project Area. Twenty percent (20%) of all tax increment funds generated from the project must be used to provide housing affordable to low- and moderate-income people. These funds can be spent throughout the City on first-time homebuyer, multi-family rehabilitation and new housing construction programs. 13. a., b., d. A revised traffic study was conducted by TJKM, Transportation Consultants, to evaluate anticipated traffic impacts related to the proposed project (attached as Exhibit A). The traffic study evaluated traffic in relation to existing conditions, existing conditions plus the proposed project, and the existing conditions plus project plus future potential projects. The traffic study concluded that the proposed Creekside Office Park was found not to have significant traffic impacts on intersection levels of service and no mitigation measures were required. The report did say that a traffic signal is warranted at Davis Street/Carpentier Street based on the estimated p.m. peak hour .volumes. However, this intersection is expected to operate at acceptable levels of.service as a whole with the addition of a westbound Davis Street left-turn lane and a southbound Carpentier Street right-turn lane. If these roadway improvements are implemented, the intersection is expected to operate acceptably without signalization. The traffic study did identify potential impacts to the proposed internal circulation system. These are described below. Existing Conditions The traffic study established a baseline condition to evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. The evaluation also included the anticipated traffic impacts of various potential projects on unbuilt or unoccupied land near the project in San Leandro. Creekside Plaza - IS/Part 2
