City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 12 □ I find that the Proposed Project qualifies as an Infill Project but would result in new specific effects that would not be substantially mitigated under uniformly applicable development policies, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Signature Date Printed Name Title This report follows a checklist format that outlines performance standards for projects eligible for streamlined review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A consistency checklist is prepared by a lead agency to streamline the environmental review process for eligible projects by limiting the topics subject to review at the project level where the effects of development have been addressed in a previous community plan. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, if the project would result in new specific effects or more significant effects, and uniformly applicable development policies or standards would not substantially mitigate such effects, those effects are subject to CEQA. With respect to the effects that are subject to CEQA, the lead agency is to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) if the written checklist shows that the effects of the project would be potentially significant. The checklist concludes that the project would not have significant effects on the environment that either have not already been analyzed in a prior EIR or are more significant than previously analyzed, or that uniformly applicable development policies would not substantially mitigate. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21094.5, such effects are exempt from further CEQA review. California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 also limits the application of CEQA to effects on the environment which are peculiar to the parcel or to the project and which were not addressed as significant effects in the General Plan EIR, or which substantial new information shows will be more significant than described in the General Plan EIR when projects are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15183[a], also Public Resources Code, Section 21083.3[b]: Exemption applies to “a development project [that] is consistent with the general plan of a local agency [if] an environmental impact report was certified with respect to that general plan). This CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist has been prepared in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.
