LOA ASSOCIATES. INC. C!QA INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION MARCH toll PREDA STREET PIP! BRIDGES UPGRADE SAN LEANDRO. CALIFORNIA 25.05 Habitat Restoration: Encourage the enhancement and restoration of the natural riparian habitat along San Leandro Creek. To the extent feasible, the upper reaches of the creek should be retained as a natural waterway and should not be further channelized for flood control purposes. 25.08 Watershed Management: Encourage the management of land use and day -to -day activities within the San Leandro Creek Watershed in a way that supports the goal of protecting water quality and habitat within the creek itself. 26.01 Ecosystem Management: Promote the long -term conservation of San Leandro's remaining natural ecosystems, including wetlands, grasslands. and riparian areas. Future development should minimize the potential for adverse impacts to these ecosystems and should promote their restoration and enhancement. 26.02 Mitigation of Development Impacts: Require measures to mitigate the impacts of development or public improvements on fish and wildlife habitat, plant resources, and other valuable natural resources in the City. 26.04 Species of Special Concern: Ensure that local planning and development decisions do not damage the habitat of rare, endangered, and threatened species, and other species of special concern in the City and nearby areas. 27.01 Recycling: Actively promote recycling, composting, and other programs that reduce the amount of solid waste requiring disposal in landfills. Goal: Mitigation of Natural Hazards: Reduce the potential for injury, property damage, and loss of life resulting from earthquakes, landslides, floods, and other natural disasters. 29.02 Earthquake Retrofits: Strongly encourage the retrofitting of existing structures to withstand earthquake ground shaking, and require retrofitting when such structures are substantially rehabilitated or remodeled. 29.07 Reducing Flood Hazards: Work collaboratively with County, State, and federal agencies to develop short- and long -term programs that reduce flood hazards in the City. At the local level, the City will regularly maintain its storm drainage system and ensure that those portions of San Leandro Creek under its jurisdiction remain clear of obstructions. 31.04 Design, Construction and Operation: Require new development to be designed and constructed in a way that reduces the potential for future air quality problems, such as odors and the emission of any and all air pollutants. This should be done by: • Requiring construction and grading practices that minimize airborne dust and particulate matter. • Ensuring that best available control technology is used for operations that could generate air pollutants. • Encouraging energy conservation and low- polluting energy sources. • Promoting landscaping and tree planting to absorb carbon monoxide and other pollutants.
