City of San Leandro Housing Element Update (2015-2023) Project Initial Study and Environmental Checklist Project would enable the City of San Leandro to meet its housing needs required by State law and facilitate future development to meet the needs of at -risk populations by providing housing types designed for these groups consistent with the City's 2015-2023 General Plan Housing Element. Additionally, future potential development that could occur under the proposed Project does not include any land use or zoning changes that would re -designate land uses or zoning districts. Therefore, there would be no impacts regarding con- flicts with applicable plans, policies, or regulations. c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? As discussed above in Section IV.f above, there are no habitat conservation plans or natural community con- servation plans within the city limits, therefore implementation of the proposed Project will not conflict with any such plans. Consequently, there would be no impact. Neither the State Geologist nor the State Mining and Geology Board has classified any areas in San Leandro as containing mineral deposits which are of statewide significance or the significance of which requires fur- ther evaluation. The only rock quarry within the SOI, located east of the city limits on Lake Chabot Road, ceased operation in the 1980s.34 Additionally, the proposed Project only identifies sites suitable for residential development that are currently zoned to allow residential uses, and does not itself propose specific develop- ment nor does it permit development to occur. As a result, it would not result in the loss of known mineral resources or substantially limit the availability of mineral resources over the long term. Therefore, there would be no impact to known mineral resources. b) Mould the project result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan? See Section XII.a above. 34 City of San Leandro General Plan, 2002, Chapter 5, Open Space, Parks, and Conservation, page 5-21. Page 138 Less Than Significant XII.
