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