SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT DRAFT EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS <br />proximity of the Project. The geographic scope for cumulative impacts associated with hazards and <br />hazardous materials, therefore, encompasses the Project site and immediate vicinity. <br />The cumulative analysis discussions contained in Chapters 4.1 through 4.14 include discussions of growth <br />projections and reference specific projects as to their relevance to impact analyses. Past, present, and <br />reasonably foreseeable projects in the area around the Project site are summarized in Chapter 4, Table <br />4-1, Cumulative Project List, and include several residential developments, an office development, <br />improvements to the Davis Street Transfer Station, warehouse distribution building, and additions to <br />existing packaging and manufacturing facilities. Potential projects include a future Bay Fair Transit Village, <br />and two residential mixed-use developments. Development of these cumulative projects would involve <br />increased storage, use, and disposal of common cleaning substances, building maintenance products, <br />paints and solvents; however, these potentially hazardous materials would not be of a type or occur in <br />sufficient quantities to pose a significant hazard to public health and safety or the environment. While <br />cumulative development in the vicinity of the Project site would bring more residents into the area, <br />compliance with existing federal, State, local regulations and standards, and the San Leandro General Plan <br />policies listed in Section 4.7.1.1 of this chapter would ensure that risks associated with the transport, <br />storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials and waste would be less than significant. <br />As discussed previously, development of the Project would not result in significant impacts from the <br />increased use of hazardous household materials and would not increase exposure to potential hazards <br />associated with wildland fires. The Project would not interfere with implementation of emergency <br />response plans. In addition, potential project -level impacts associated with hazards and hazardous <br />materials would be less than significant through compliance with local, regional, State, and federal <br />regulations, all of which apply to other new development as well. Consequently, construction of the <br />Project in combination with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects in the near vicinity would <br />not result in a significant cumulative impact. <br />Significance Before Mitigation: Less than significant. <br />PLACEWORKS 4.7-19 <br />
