Given the permitting and development actions that are related both geographically and as logical <br />parts in the chain of contemplated actions for implementation, this Draft EIR has been prepared as a <br />Project EIR, pursuant to Section 15161 of the CEQA Guidelines. As a Project EIR, the environmental <br />analysis will focus primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development of <br />The San Leandro Shoreline Development Project. This Project EIR will examine the specific short-term <br />impacts (construction) and long-term impacts (operation) that would occur as a result of Project approval <br />by the City of San Leandro City Council. <br />1.2 SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT <br />As a part of a public/private partnership, the City of San Leandro and Cal Coast Companies LLC propose to <br />redevelop the 52 -acre site land area (owned by the City) and 23 -acre water area (owned by the City), <br />which encompasses the San Leandro Marina and surrounding properties, with residential, commercial, <br />and public recreational uses. Implementation of the Project would involve the removal of many of the <br />structures on the site including the existing EI Torito restaurant building, the Mulford Branch Library <br />building, and the San Leandro Yacht Club building.
