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 levels by 2020. The City's existing 2009 CAP GHG emissions reductions goals and actions help to ensure that the City is doing its part in assisting the State in achieving the GHG reduction goals identified in Assembly Bill 32 and Executive Order S-03-05. The EIR will include a consistency evaluation with the City's GHG reduction measures identified in the City's 2009 Climate Action Plan. Since adding support for the Climate Action Plan specifically,and sustainability in general,is one of the goals of this General Plan Update,we expect that the EIR will find that the General Plan is consistent. e. Biological,Resources The existing conditions data collected in Task 4.6 will be synthesized to provide the "Setting"section of the EIR. The biological resources impact analysis will evaluate the potential for land use and development activities associated with implementation of the General Plan Update to affect sensitive biological resources, and the adequacy of proposed policies and actions to avoid or mitigate impacts to sensitive biological and wetland resources. Proposed land use designations will be compared to the updated mapping of sensitive biological resources to determine the potential for adverse impacts. A qualitative evaluation of the General Plan's compliance with relevant aspects of federal and State regulations will be provided. Potential impacts will be qualitatively described. We anticipate that the General Plan will be self-mitigating through implementation of updated goals and policies. No site-specific analysis of individual projects or preparation of comprehensive mitigation programs are proposed as part of this scope, but further detailed assessment may be recommended as a policy to confirm the presence or absence of sensitive resources at specific locations as part of the environmental review process for proposed future development applications. 1. Cultural Resources Based on the Existing Conditions information compiled in Task 4,Tom Origer will assess the potential of the General Plan Update to impact prehistoric,historical, or built environment cultural resources, including the potential for buried resources. This will include a recap of the prehistory and history of the city and a review of local, State, and federal laws regarding the treatment of cultural resources. Mitigation measures will be prescribed as appropriate. R. Geology,Soils,and Mineral Resources The Planning Center DC&E will prepare the "Setting" section of the EIR, relying on the data collected and presented in Task 4 (existing conditions). It is expected that geologic impacts may relate to seismic shaking, liquefaction,erosion, THE PLANNING CENTER I OC&E 37 MARCH 3.2014
