The project site was also subject to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that was approved by the San Leandro City Council in September, 2007 pursuant to Resolution 2007 -111. The 2007 EIR looked at an intensity of development on the project site that is greater than the amount of development proposed with the project and as such the project would have fewer impacts than was studied in the adopted EIR. The 2007 EIR looked at the project site as being a high density mixed -use site with both retail and residential uses that would be developed with a lot coverage exceeding 50 %.
