City of San Leandro Civic Center, 835 E. 1 4th Street San Leandro, California 94577 November 3, 2011 Song Chin- Bendib Assistant Superintendent Business & Operations San Leandro Unified School District 14735 Juniper Street San Leandro, CA 94579 -1222 We are in receipt of your comment regarding the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project at 2450 Washington Avenue, PLN2009- 00006, the email dated October 25, 2011: We mapped out the proposed condominum site in relation to our schools in the surrounding area. Do you see any impact of the traffic on our schools? If so, is there a plan to build traffic lights or other mitigating devices? Do you foresee any other possible impacts such as noise? City staff has reviewed your comments and, via an email dated October 25, 2011, has responded as follows: Thanks for the follow up. We don't anticipate any impacts on traffic from this project. On the contrary, the traffic analysis shows that the b& -unit project will generate less traffic than the existing use (43,100 square foot medical office building). We also looked at Noise in our environmental documents (available on the website here. http ://www.sonleandro.org/depts /cd /projects /2450 wash ington_apartments.asp) Because of this, the project is actually exempt from any impact fees to our City's Street Improvement funds, Noise studies done by the applicant do indicate that mitigations are required, but more for the protection of the residents of the future project rather than from that project. Specifically, the BART trains pose a significant noise impact. Thank you for your response to the environmental review. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions at 510 - 577 -3458. Sincerely, � 61 W Sally Barros Senior Planner Community Development Department Stephen H.
