Environmental Checklist General Plan Consistency Checklist 13 Environmental Checklist Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, CEQA mandates that projects consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified may not require additional review unless there may be project-specific effects that are peculiar to the project or site, which were not adequately addressed in the EIR for the 2035 General Plan. In approving a project meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, a public agency must limit its examination of environmental effects to those the agency determines in an Initial Study or other analysis: Are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located Were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent Are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the general plan, community plan or zoning action Are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR The purpose of this checklist is to assess consistency between the proposed project and 2035 General Plan, and to compare the proposed project with the effects above to determine if additional environmental review is required under CEQA in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. Relationship of the Proposed Project to Previous EIR Analysis The project site is included in the NASP area, last updated in 1991, which provides a long-range vision to revitalize commercial areas along major roadways, including MacArthur Boulevard. The City of San Leandro adopted the current 2035 General Plan on September 19, 2016 to update the 2015 General Plan. It includes goals and polices that convey the City’s long-term vision and guide local decision-making to reach that vision. The General Plan EIR was certified in 2016 and assessed impacts from the implementation of the 2035 General Plan. Project Consistency with Adopted City Plans and Ordinances City of San Leandro 2035 General Plan The project would be located in San Leandro.
