SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE DRAFT FEIR CITY OF SAN LEANDRO REVISIONS TO THE DRAFT EIR As discussed above, the ongoing 1-880 Integrated Corridor Management effort led by the MTC that aims to optimize freeway, arterial signal, rail, and bus systems and incorporate Intelligent Transportation System would also help enhance efficiency on the freeway. However, for the reasons listed above this impact would remain significant and unavoidable. 3.7 REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 5, SIGNIFICANT UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS The bulleted list on page 5-2 of the Draft EIR is hereby amended as follows: ■ As shown in Table 4.13-114.14 the addition of proposed Plan traffic would result in significant impacts to 125 intersections during at least one of the peak hours. ■ As shown in Table 4.13-12 4-4R 16; and Table 4.13-13 4.14 !:�, the addition of proposed Plan traffic would result in significant impacts to=agven-&44 freeway segments during at least one of the peak hours. 3.8 REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 6, ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT The first bulleted paragraph on page 6-2 of the Draft EIR is hereby amended as follows: No Project Alternative. Consistent with Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, under the No Project Alternative, ek4e--the proposed General Plan Update 4eF7and the proposed Zoning Code amendments would not be adopted, and future development in the city would continue to be subject to existing policies, regulations, development standards, and land use designations under the existing San Leandro General Plan and Zoning Code. The General Plan land use map for the No Project Alternative would be the same as the City's current General Plan land use map. Total acreages of various land use designations would not differ drastically between the proposed project and the No Project Alternative. However, the No Project Alternative would not include the new higher density residential land use or transit -oriented development designations of the proposed project, nor would it include the increases in allowable residential densities associated with proposed Zoning Code amendments. Therefore, the No Project Alternative would result in less residential development than the proposed project. In terms of job growth, the No Project Alternative would not include the proposed Industrial Transition designation or the proposed Economic Development Element, with its job -generating focus on innovation, and local manufacturing and technology sector growth. Therefore, while the No Project Alternative might result in a similar amount of non-residential square footage by 2035, that square footage would amore likely te-be warehousing or traditional manufacturing; containing a lower proportion of employees per square foot and therefore fewer jobs.
