CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />RE: Exhibit A -CONSISTENCY MEMORANDUM FOR THE SLTC MIXED-USE PROJECT (PLN16-0067) <br />JULY 17, 2017 <br />Page 22 <br /> <br />Table 8 <br />Operational GHG Emissions (Metric Tons per Year) <br />Source CO2e <br />Operation 1,507 <br />BAAQMD Potentially Significant <br />Impact Threshold 2,384 <br />MTCO2e/SP/Year 0.6 <br />BAAQMD Threshold 4.6 <br />Exceed BAAQMD Threshold? No <br />TOD EIR Significance LTS with MM AQ 2 <br />Exceed BAAQMD Threshold <br />with MM implementation <br />No <br /> Source: CalEEMod version 2016.3.1. See Appendix A for emission model outputs. <br />GEOLOGY AND SOILS <br />Based on the geotechnical report completed for the project by Rockridge Geotechnical (2017; Appendix <br />B), the site is overlain with approximately 2 to 4 feet of undocumented fill soils. Additionally, moderately <br />compressible clay layers extend approximately 30 feet below ground surface on the project site. As outlined <br />in the geotechnical report, unstable soil layers beneath the project site could cause inadequate foundation <br />support for the proposed building. The project would comply with existing state and local regulations, such <br />as the California Building Code, and would implement General Plan Action EH-1.1.A, which requires the <br />submittal and review of detailed soils and/or geologic reports prior to construction. Implementation of local <br />regulations, General Plan Action EH-1.1.A, and compliance with the recommendations outlined in the <br />geotechnical report (Appendix B) would reduce project impacts to less than significant. The TOD Strategy <br />EIR found that geology and soil related impacts for TOD Strategy buildout would be less than significant, <br />and the project would not have greater impacts on geology and soils. No further analysis is needed, and the <br />project would be consistent with the City’s TOD Strategy EIR. <br />HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY <br />The project site is vacant and level, with no existing stormwater infrastructure. The project site currently <br />is 100% permeable, thus allowing for stormwater absorption. Some stormwater flows over the surface <br />to Alvarado Street and Martinez Street where it enters an existing storm drain system, before ultimately <br />discharging into San Francisco Bay. <br />The proposed project is considered a Special Project in conformance with Appendix J of the Alameda <br />County C.3 Stormwater Technical Guidance (April 11, 2016). The project conforms to Category C <br />“Transit-Oriented Development” because it meets the following criteria: (1) Be characterized as a non- <br />auto related land-use; (2) Is a residential development project with density greater than 25 DU/Ac. The <br />project qualifies for the following credits: 50% Location Credit because 50% or more of the site is located <br />within a ¼ mile radius of an existing transit hub (San Leandro BART station); 20% Density Credit because <br />it is a residential project with greater than 60 DU/Ac; 20% Minimized Surface Parking Credit because 0% <br />of the post-project impervious surface is dedicated to at-grade surface parking. The net result is 90% <br />allowable Low Impact Development (LID) Treatment Reduction. The project is complying with Municipal <br />168
