CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND HR E X H I B I T A: S C O P E O F WORK AND COSTS associated with poor air quality.This assessment will also identify major sources of air pollution, recommended buffer distances based on the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) screening tools, CARB guidance, and the California Air Pollution Control Officer's Association (CAPCOA) guidance, and identification of areas where new sensitive land uses would require additional recommendations to reduce risk. The Planning Center I DC&E will review data collected through the City's Climate Action Plan and recent EIRs regarding existing and projected GF-IG emissions in the city. In order to ensure internal consistency within the General Plan EIR, we will include a community GHG emissions inventory for existing (CEQA baseline) environmental conditions and GHG emissions at the General Plan Horizon year (assumed to be 2035). The GHG inventory for CEQA baseline and buildout will be modeled using the latest modeling tools (e.g., EMFAC, CaIEEMod, OFFROAD). The boundaries of the community-wide GFIG emissions inventories will be based on a combination of sectors under the City's control. For example, the transportation sector will be based on vehicles miles traveled (\' fl)generated by trips that start or end in the City and exclude trips that pass through the City. 4.11 Community Design Inventory Barry Miller and The Planning Center I DC&E will prepare an updated summary of existing urban design and aesthetic conditions in San Leandro, using the inventory in the 2002 General Plan as the starting point. This will provide the basis for updating community design policies (General Plan Chapter 7) as well as the Aesthetics and Visual chapter of the EIR. This task will include an updated inventory of the city's defining visual and urban design characteristics, including important views and vistas. Barry Miller prepared a very detailed visual survey and characterization of San Leandro's neighborhoods as part of the 2002 Plan. This information will be updated based on land use changes and new development over the last 12 years. Different architectural styles and design features of the city will once again be documented, as they were in 2002, and important aesthetic qualities of public spaces and streets will be noted. This task also will include a summary of the City's design review program, including design review requirements and the guidelines used by the City to evaluate additions, alterations, and new construction. Important and emerging community design issues will be documented, providing the basis for new policies. THE PLANNING CENTER I OGRE 20 MARCH 3.2014
