section will draw on standards and objectives described in City and EBRPD <br />documents, including any master plans for existing City or regional parks. The <br />Planning Center I DC&E will utilize the existing conditions data collected in Task <br />4 to describe the existing recreation setting within the City. Based on the recreation <br />significance criteria, The Planning Center I DC&E will assess potential parks and <br />recreation impacts. If necessary, mitigation measures in the form of policy <br />recommendations will be listed to reduce impacts to less -than -significant levels. <br />n. Traffic /Transportation <br />Kittelson & Associates will evaluate traffic and transportation impacts. The <br />existing traffic and transportation setting will be described, based on the same <br />information compiled in Task 4. Kittelson will then provide an analysis of future <br />transportation conditions, and will identify necessary mitigation measures. The <br />analysis will focus on the same intersections, street segments, and pedestrian - <br />bicycle focus areas analyzed in the General Plan Existing Conditions analysis. Land <br />use assumptions on a parcel -specific basis will be obtained for any sites that could <br />accommodate new/ intensified development in the city. The trip generation rates <br />to be applied to the various categories of development will be detailed, including <br />deductions to account for mixed use and TOD. <br />The traffic impact analysis for the EIR will be coordinated with City staff and to <br />the extent possible maintain consistency with the assumptions and methodologies <br />used in recent EIRs, including the Kaiser Medical Center EIR, the Shoreline <br />Development EIR, and other studies recently conducted in San Leandro. <br />Much of the technical analysis necessary to support the General Plan EIR will be <br />conducted as part of developing the Circulation Element. Specifically, the EIR <br />analysis will use the roadway diagrams representing future roadway and ultimate <br />right-of-way requirements to accommodate the future growth. For purposes of the <br />EIR, potential deficiencies in the circulation system will be evaluated using the <br />thresholds of significance from the draft Circulation Element. Potential circulation <br />deficiencies resulting from the implementation of the General Plan will be <br />identified and mitigation measures will be prescribed to minimize potentially <br />significant impacts. <br />The scope assumes that a detailed quantitative analysis of two scenarios will be <br />included in the FIR. The first scenario will evaluate the baseline impacts as if no - <br />project were adopted and the second scenario will be the final preferred Project <br />alternative for the General Plan Update. The preferred alternative land uses will be <br />developed by the City and the consultant team and may include land use and <br />
