EXHIBIT A <br />Fourth Phase: CEQA Analysis <br />Deliverables <br />Time Frame <br />Commission and City Council EIR comment and adoption hearings (up to four total). <br />A key goal of the Specific Plan and EIR will be to provide a solid and thorough basis for CEQA <br />streamlining of subsequent projects in the plan area under the provisions of new CEQA Guidelines <br />Section 15183.3, Streamlining for Infill Projects. Another is to document and disclose as <br />appropriate the potentially beneficial impacts of transit -oriented development, both from an <br />environmental impact perspective and in terms of consistency and furtherance of local and <br />regional goals related to vehicle miles traveled and the transit/land use/emissions connection. <br />In addition, the EIR scoping process, existing conditions inventory, and environmental analysis will <br />inform the land use concept and specific plan policies so that the plan can be designed to "pre - <br />mitigate" potential impacts related to the drainage and floodplain, among others resource issues. <br />Task 4.2 EIR Transportation and Traffic Analysis. KAI will be responsible for conducting the <br />March 2017 <br />analysis and preparing the draft transportation section for the EIR. The preliminary analysis <br />conducted as part of developing the (MMA & CP) will be incorporated into the EIR circulation <br />section. To the extent feasible, KAI will coordinate the transportation section of the EIR with the <br />2035 General Plan Update work, but provide a more focused level of analysis for the Specific <br />Plan with more detail around the development sites. <br />Based on when the State releases updated State CEQA guidelines per the requirements of <br />Senate Bill 743, KAI will also tailor the traffic impact analysis to account for either level of service <br />or vehicle miles traveled (VMT) based analysis. The scope has been budgeted for level of <br />service, but if the guidelines move towards VMT-based criteria, then KAI can address this with the <br />VMT information already provided for the air quality analysis. <br />The cumulative traffic analysis will include additional detail to quantify trip generation for the <br />opportunity sites, which would be overlaid on the cumulative forecasts prepared as part of the San <br />Leandro 2035 General Plan using the Alameda Countywide Projections P2013 (Plan Bay Area) <br />model. This will ensure consistency with the analysis being conducted for the 2035 General Plan. <br />KAI will conduct traffic analysis to identify potential impacts and mitigations associated with the <br />preferred plan. KAI will also analyze weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour conditions for existing and <br />for cumulative plus project at a maximum of 10 study intersections (locations to be identified in <br />coordination with City staff). If required, KAI would also address the CMP analysis for roadway, <br />RAIMI + ASSOCIATES: BAY FAIR BART TRANSIT VILLAGE TOD SPECIFIC PLAN MAY 18, 2015 1 PAGE A-17 <br />
