d) The need for clean -up on the sites within the TOD area, as well as sites identified in the Housing Element, was previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR and in the TOD Strategy EIR. No additional impacts are expected as a result of the consistency amendments. The General Plan DR and TOD EIR both included mitigation measures to address the potential for adverse impacts. These measures correspond to General Plan policies, including Policy 34.02 which requires clean -up prior to the development or reuse of any contaminated site. The General Plan EIR also included a mitigation measure which requires a Phase I environmental assessment prior to the redevelopment of any site where hazardous materials may be present. This will continue to apply. e) Adoption of the General Plan consistency amendments will not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working near areas covered by an airport land use plan. Following amendment, the General Plan will continue to be consistent with the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for Oakland International Airport. f) There are no private airstrips in San Leandro. g) The impacts of development in the TOD area on emergency preparedness were previously evaluated in the 2007 EIR for that project and the 2002 General Plan EIR. These impacts were identified as less than significant in these EIRs. There would be no additional impacts on emergency preparedness resulting from the consistency amendments. h) The TOD area is already urbanized, and its continued development would not expose additional people to urban/wildland interface - related hazards such as wildfire. This was determined to be a less than significant impact in the TOD Strategy ER and the General Plan EIR. No additional impacts would result from the proposed amendment.

For a project located within an airport land use plan, X I, 2, 9 would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? f For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, X 1, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? EXPLANATION: a) The EIR for the TOD Strategy identified an unavoidable significant noise impact associated with possible future high density residential development near the BART tracks. Exterior noise levels in this area exceed those identified as acceptable for residential uses in the General Plan. Mitigation measures were identified in the EIR to address this impact. These measures will be implemented on a project -level basis as development occurs. The General Plan consistency amendments would not change the nature of the impact or the recommended mitigation measures.
