Land Use Element to update numeric summaries of land use categories (Table 3 -1), the zoning consistency matrix (Table 3 -2), and various policies and actions. Policies 6.01 and 6.10, and Actions 6.10 -A, 6.10 -B, 7.12 -A. and 7.12 -C would all be amended to be consistent with the TOD Strategy In addition, the "Focus Area" narrative for the Downtown BART Station area (p. 89) would be updated to reflect the TOD Strategy. The full page text box on P. 90 highlighting the Central San Leandro/ BART station revitalization study would be deleted and replaced with a new full page text box highlighting the TOD Strategy. The "Focus Area" narrative for the San Leandro Boulevard corridor also would be amended, and references to the older industrial area between Williams Street and Marina (along Alvarado Street) would be edited for consistency with the TOD Strategy. Finally, edits to the Transportation and Environmental Hazards Elements of the General Plan would be made. The Transportation edits address provisions for bicycles, traffic forecasts, and minimum density to ensure consistency with the TOD Strategy. The Environmental Hazards edit would acknowledge that the TOD strategy included its own assessment of noise impacts since it had a different horizon year than the General Plan, and notes that both the TOD EIR and General Plan EIR should be consulted when considering future noise conditions in this area The changes itemized above will have no environmental impacts beyond those already evaluated by the San Leandro General Plan EIR and the TOD Strategy EIR.
