• 7) LIGHT AND GLARE EFFECT: The construction of a new automobile dealership would include the placement of lighting standards throughout the property. New forms of light and glare associated with on- site uses will also include interior nighttime lighting of the showroom and display vehicle areas. While the proposed change in land use would likely result in a moderate increase in the amount of glare produced on-site during the evening hours,the additional light and glare would not be substantial given current retail, commercial and industrial lighting in the project vicinity. MITIGATION: All lighting fixtures shall be designed and equipped with shields to eliminate off-site glare. FINDING: This change has been required in, or incorporated into the Project and will avoid potentially significant environmental impacts as identified in the Initial Study. 8) LAND USES EFFECT: The proposal to develop an automobile dealership on property that is currently developed with food manufacturing uses(former Safeway Preserves Plant)represents a change in the existing land use. The property is zoned IG-Industrial General with an S-Overlay. Automobile uses are permitted under this district. The appropriate infrastructure is available to connect future improvements with existing utility lines as this is an in-fill location. FINDING: No significant environmental impacts are anticipated. 9) HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND EFFECT ON HEALTH EFFECT: The applicant has prepared a preliminary environmental site assessment(ESA) and an Asbestos Survey Report. The Preliminary ESA reports that no hazardous substances or hazardous wastes were observed or stored on the site. Three underground storage tanks (UST) previously containing diesel fuel were permanently removed in December 1989. Not all affected soil and groundwater was removed upon UST removal. In order not to disturb the structural integrity of the Boiler Building, an undetermined amount of affect soil was left in place. Closure was granted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) in May of 1996. The Case Closure summary document issued by Alameda County Health Care Services in 1996, indicates that due to the affected soil left in place, corrective action should be reviewed prior to a change of land use. MITIGATION: Prior to issuance of building permits, affected soil and groundwater shall be remediated to the satisfaction of the City of San Leandro Environmental Services Division and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. EFFECT: An Asbestos Survey Report indicates that asbestos-containing material (ACM) 4
