City of San Leandro <br />Housing Element Update (2015-2023) Project <br />Initial Study and Environmental Checklist <br />e) Would the project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number ofpeople? <br />Odors are also an important element of local air quality conditions. Specific activities allowed within each <br />land use category can raise concerns related to odors on the part of nearby neighbors. Major sources of odors <br />include restaurants and wastewater treatment plants. While sources that generate objectionable odors must <br />comply with air quality regulations, the public's sensitivity to locally produced odors often exceeds regulatory <br />thresholds. <br />The type of housing development that could occur under the proposed Project is not considered a major <br />source of odor and would not create objectionable odors to surrounding sensitive land uses. Accordingly, <br />there would be no impact. <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />IV.
