3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST City of San Leandro 1388 Bancroft Avenue Project November 2018 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 3.0-45 operations would not expose persons or the environment to a hazardous substance. Through implementation of mitigation measure MM HAZ-1, any potential asbestos- or lead- related impacts would be reduced to a level that is less than significant. c) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is adjacent to Bancroft Middle School, located at 1150 Bancroft Avenue, across Estudillo Avenue from the project site. Project construction and operation would not result in hazardous emissions or handling of hazardous waste as described above under checklist items a) and b). Project construction would comply with all state and federal laws governing hazardous materials during demolition and construction. Through implementation of mitigation measure MM HAZ-1, any potential asbestos- or lead-related impacts would be reduced to a level that is less than significant. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. d) No Impact. As described in the Environmental Setting subsection above, the project site is not on any list of hazardous materials sites. While the gas station at 1285 Bancroft Avenue, to the northwest of the project site, is listed in the Alameda County LOP and LUST database, the site was granted case closure status with a No Further Action designation in August 2010. Based on the case closure status of this listing and the hydrologic gradient flowing away from the project site, the Phase I ESA concluded that the 1285 Bancroft property does not represent a significant environmental concern for the proposed project (AEI Consultants 2015). Therefore, no impact would occur. e, f) No Impact. The project site is not located in an airport land use plan or within 2 miles of a public or public use airport or private airstrip. The closest airport to the project site, Oakland International Airport, is approximately 2.9 miles away. Given the distance from any airport, project construction and operation would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working at the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact on airport land use plans or people residing or working at the project site. g) Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in the City’s General Plan EIR, the San Leandro Emergency Operations Center is responsible for coordinating agency response to disaster or other large-scale emergencies in the city of San Leandro with assistance from the Alameda County Office of Emergency Services and the ACFD. The City’s Hazard Plan establishes policy direction for emergency planning, mitigation, response, and recovery activities within San Leandro. The Hazard Plan addresses interagency coordination, procedures to maintain communication with county and State emergency response teams, and methods to assess the extent of damage and management of volunteers. Compliance with applicable federal, State, and local regulations and existing plans and policies regarding emergency operations, as described in the General Plan EIR, would ensure that future development would not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan (San Leandro 2016b). The project would not result in any interference with the City’s Hazard Plan, as it would comply with all fire and building code requirements and standards. As part of the site plan approval process, the project was reviewed by the City of San Leandro Engineering and Transportation Department and by the Alameda County Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Bureau to ensure adequate emergency access. Based on these reviews, the City and County determined that the site would have adequate fire access. The project would comply with applicable federal, State, and local regulations and existing plans and policies regarding emergency operations. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant.
