• <br /> for reporting on and monitoring the mitigation measures which the Agency has required to <br /> mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects. <br /> 1) SOILS and GRADING <br /> EFFECT: The site is relatively flat and is currently developed with a food manufacturing <br /> plant. Development of the proposed project would not result in an increase in over-covering of <br /> soil, as all of the site is either paved or built-up with buildings. The preliminary environmental <br /> assessment submitted by the applicant indicates that underlying soils on the project site have a <br /> high shrink-swell potential due to the high content of clay. This could potentially impact future <br /> building foundations, resulting in shifts and cracks. <br /> MITIGATION: Prior to issuance of building permits,plans for new building construction <br /> shall be submitted for review and approval to the Chief Building Official. Specific measures, <br /> such as shaping building pads to provide drainage away from the building site, shall be included <br /> to address the shrink-swell characteristics of the underlying soil. <br /> FINDING: This change has been required in, or incorporated into, the Project and will <br /> avoid potentially significant environmental impacts as identified in the Initial Study. No further <br /> impacts to on-site soils are anticipated. <br /> 2) SEISMIC EVENTS <br /> EFFECT: This project lies within approximately 1.8 miles of the Hayward Fault zone <br /> and is within a seismically active area. In the event of a major earthquake on the Hayward, San <br /> Andreas or other nearby fault, structures or persons in the area would be exposed to damage or <br /> risk depending on the magnitude and nature of the earthquake. <br /> MITIGATION: All construction must comply with the San Leandro Municipal Code <br /> which requires structures to be engineered and designed to resist the forces imposed by an <br /> earthquake. <br /> FINDING: This change has been required in, or incorporated into,the Project and will <br /> avoid potentially significant environmental impacts as identified in the Initial Study. <br /> 3) AIR QUALITY <br /> EFFECT: The Transportation Administrator has indicated that the proposed project <br /> would not result in a significant increase in vehicular trips to and from the project site. Therefore, <br /> air quality impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. No objectionable odors would be <br /> produced by the project and no alteration of air movement nor a change in the local climate are <br /> anticipated. <br /> 2 <br />
