CITY OF SAN LEANDRO RE: Exhibit A -CONSISTENCY MEMORANDUM FOR THE SLTC MIXED-USE PROJECT (PLN16-oo67) J U LY 17, 2017 • San Leandro Boulevard and Davis Street had an impact to the westbound left turn movement in the AM peak period, as well as to the northbound left turn movement in the PM peak period. San Leandro Boulevard and Parrott Street had an impact to the eastbound approach and northbound left turning movement in both the AM and PM peak periods. As discussed below, the project would pay its fair share of traffic signalization and cycle optimization measures to reduce these impacts to less than significant. Project Contribution to Cumulative Traffic Growth As stated above, under cumulative conditions for the total SLTC buildout assumed in Scenario 3, the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and Thornton Street would operate at LOS F during the AM peak hour. All other study intersections would operate acceptably at LOS D or better during both peak hours. Signalizing the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and Thornton would result in the intersection operating at LOS A during the AM peak hour, and would reduce the impact to less than significant. Under cumulative conditions, the queuing at three intersections were found to be impacted during the AM and PM peak hours. Optimizing the signalization cycle length at the three study intersections listed above (Alvarado Street and Davis Street, San Leandro Boulevard and Davis Street, and San Leandro Boulevard and Parrott Street) would reduce the SLTC development buildout impacts on intersection queuing to less than significant. As stated above, the proposed project would not develop the 285,000 square feet of office space included in the traffic analysis, and therefore would only increase traffic at the study intersections by a portion of the total SLTC development buildout. Additionally, as outlined in the City's Conditions of Approval, the project would pay its fair share of the required traffic signalization and cycle optimization measures for the full SLTC buildout to reduce traffic impacts to less than significant. The TOD Strategy EIR found that impacts related to transportation and circulation for TOD Strategy buildout would be less than significant. As outlined above, project impacts are similar in scope, and no further analysis is needed. The project would be consistent with the City's TOD Strategy EIR. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Water Supply The TOD Strategy EIR determined that the East Bay Municipal Utility District would be able to meet water demand forthe TOD Strategy buildout scenario. To ensure that the project does not significantly affect the water conveyance system, the project would abide by General Plan Policy CSF -6.2. As stated in Table 3, the policy requires future development to pay its fair share of the cost of improving the water, sewer, storm drainage, and other infrastructure systems needed to serve that development. Implementation of the policy would reduce the project impacts to less than significant. As such, the project would be consistent with the TOD Strategy EIR, and no further evaluation is needed. Wastewater Wastewater would be collected from the project site by the City of San Leandro Wastewater Treatment Division, which provides wastewater services for the northern two-thirds of the city.
