addressing the aforesaid conditions which are more specifically described as follows: <br /> (a) The City of San Leandro lies in the near vicinity of the Hayward <br /> Fault and in fact, a substantial portion of the residential area of <br /> the City lies within the Alquist-Priolo Act Special Studies Zone, <br /> requiring special geologic studies prior to development. The <br /> underlying soils are subject to liquefaction and amplification of <br /> seismic energy. This increases the likelihood of seismic <br /> disturbances of substantial magnitude occurring and causing <br /> consequent damage. Such damage is often accompanied by <br /> structural fire. The City contains a large percentage of existing <br /> structures constructed more than forty years ago. <br /> (b) The travel time to a fire or other emergency within San Leandro <br /> may be impeded by the following conditions: <br /> (1) Three major railway lines, the elevated BART line, three <br /> major freeways and a natural creek, divide the City into <br /> numerous sections, and equipment responding to <br /> emergencies face potential delays and obstruction of access <br /> in crossing these barriers. <br /> (2) San Leandro lies in the path of two major water reservoirs <br /> which, upon failure, would inundate a large portion of the <br /> 3 <br />
