3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST <br />City of San Leandro 1388 Bancroft Avenue Project <br />November 2018 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />3.0-5 <br />The proposed project is a residential development on an infill site in San Leandro that is in a transit priority area (MTC 2017).1 The site is within 0.5 miles of the intersection of Estudillo Avenue and East 14th Street, where there are two major bus routes—Alameda-Contra <br />Costa Transit District (AC Transit) Routes 1 and 10—with frequencies of less than 15 minutes <br />during commute hours, and qualifies as a major transit stop. In addition, AC Transit Route 40 runs adjacent to the project site along Bancroft Avenue and provides peak service every 15 minutes, and AC Transit Routes 34/35 run adjacent to the project site on Estudillo <br />Avenue and provide peak service every 30 minutes. The site is also approximately <br />0.75 miles from the San Leandro Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station. <br />Therefore, because the project meets the criteria specified in Public Resources Code <br />Section 21099(d), the project’s aesthetic effects on the environment are not considered <br />significant. Potential impacts on historical resources are discussed in subsection 5, Cultural <br />Resources. Project elements that may change the aesthetic conditions of the project site and in the vicinity, such as building heights, setbacks, architecture, and lighting, would be <br />considered as part of the City’s planning review process, as described in the Environmental <br />Setting discussion above. <br />The project’s impacts on aesthetics would be less than significant. <br /> <br /> <br />1 A “transit priority area” is an area within one-half mile of an existing or planned major transit stop. A "major transit stop" is <br />defined in Public Resources Code Section 21064.3 as a rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.
