ing and fire codes or standards or regula- tions adopted by the agency applicable to the use, maintenance, operation and appear- ance of a non -conforming use or uses. Furthermore, where a non -conforming use can reasonably be expected to remain in operation or use for an extended period of time, in excess of five years from the date upon which the use becomes non- conforming, the agency shall require the owner to make improvements or alterations to the building, structure or site to mitigate those elements of use, maintenance, opera- tion and appearance that, in the exclusive determination of the agency, impact ad- versely on the project area, and in particular on streets and abutting uses that have been improved under the provisions of the plan. This provision shall apply to property and non -conforming uses that are owned and operated by the same party or entity and for which there is no lease, rental agreement or other instrument that limits the duration of the non -conforming use of the property. (Plaza 2 redev. plan § 4(F), 1988) 1.28.070 Streets and public rights-of- way. The proposed layout of streets and public rights-of-way is shown on the land utiliza- tion plan, Exhibit 1.28.020. Notwithstanding said plan, all or portions of streets, alleys and public rights-of-way may be vacated and abandoned, and streets and alleys may be rerouted and traffic circulation changed, as deemed necessary by the agency to carry out development proposals within the pro- ject area. (Plaza 2 redev. plan § 4(G), 1988) 1.28.080 Historical landmarks. Destruction or substantial alteration of any building of historic or architectural sig- 1.28.070 nificance within the project area is a project requiring preparation of an environmental clearance in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Such environmental clearance shall be specific as to the building reported on, establish the level and nature of significance, and provide for appropriate mitigation if, in the opinion of the agency, mitigation is appropriate. (Plaza 2 redev. plan § 4(H), 1988) 1.28.090 Fire Station No. 2. The city fire station at 1040 Davis Street just east of Dabner Street is one of San Leandro's older stations and, as such, it may be subject to relocation to another site better situated to meet the changing public safety need of the community. In the event of relo- cation of the fire facility and subsequent sale of the property, the site would be available for residential or commercial uses consistent with surrounding development. (Plaza 2 re- dev. plan § 4(I), 1988) 1.28.100 Hazardous waste and substances. Contaminated soil and groundwater have been discovered at several locations within the project area and action has been taken either to eliminate the contamination or to reduce it to acceptable levels in accordance with state of California standards. There are other sites within the project area that are suspect as to the presence of contaminants or hazardous wastes. Such sites are suspect because of existing or former uses that either engage in or have been engaged in the stor- age, processing or handling of products or substances, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and cleaning solvents, which, if not stored, pro- cessed and handled properly, can cause con- tamination of soil and groundwater. 41 (San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Supp. No. 2, 12-05)
