C I T Y 01 SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND HR EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF WORK AND COSTS summary of existing land use regulating documents, including the General Plan, . Zoning Ordinance,and other plans that guide development within the City. Based on the land use significance criteria, The Planning Center I DC&E will assess potential land use and planning policy impacts that may result from implementation of the General Plan Update. While the land use pattern is not anticipated to change substantially as a result of the General Plan Update, the Draft EIR will also evaluate policy and design changes that have an effect on buildout. For example, a change in allowable building heights, density, or the City's development policies could have land use impacts. The Draft EIR also will evaluate proposed General Plan policies to determine any conflicts with existing plans and adopted policies, such as the Zoning Ordinance and Climate Action Plan, and to determine if any policies may cause a physical division to established neighborhoods. b. Visual and Aesthetics The aesthetics analysis will review General Plan Update policies and programs that may impact scenic vistas and other resources, as defined in the Update, such as views of the hills or the Bay. The Planning Center I DC&F_ will describe existing visual resources within the city, based on the Existing Conditions data collected in Task 4. The setting will include a description of scenic views and corridors within and adjacent to the city. Each resource will be described, photographed, and mapped to provide context for the reviewer. Based on the aesthetic resource significance criteria,The Planning Center I DC&E will assess potential significant aesthetic impacts, such as impacts on scenic views and corridors. If necessary, mitigation measures to reduce aesthetics impacts to a less-than-significant level will be recommended in the form of additional or revised General Plan policies. c. Air Quality and Community Health Risk In accordance with the BAAQrMD's CEQA Guidelines, The Planning Center DC&E will prepare a Plan-Level air quality analysis. Because the BAAQN{D has identified Western Alameda County as an impacted area with elevated community risk and hazards impacts, the air quality section of the EIR will include an assessment of"community risk." The air quality analysis will include a qualitative analysis of criteria air pollutants and precursors generated from buildout of the proposed land uses plan. Buildout of the General Plan would be expected to generate emissions from an increase in trips and vehicle miles traveled (\ 1'I) associated with land uses within the City.
