Environmental Checklist Biological Resources General Plan Consistency Checklist 31 c. Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? The project site does not contain riparian habitat (USFWS 2019b), nor does it contain critical habitat for any species (USFWS 2019a). Project construction would alter the project site, and adjacent sidewalks and roadways. However, these areas do not contain riparian habitat, wetlands, or other sensitive habitats. The nearest water feature is located 0.4 mile east of the site in Chabot Park (USFWS 2019b). No impacts would occur. NO IMPACT d. Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? As stated in the General Plan EIR, most wildlife is acclimated to human activity in the urbanized portions of San Leandro. Nevertheless, the project site is urbanized, surrounded by vehicle roadways and other urban developments, and does not provide a corridor for wildlife movement. Impacts would not be greater than those identified in the General Plan EIR. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED e. Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? The project would comply with the City’s 2035 General Plan; San Leandro Municipal Code, including Section 4-1-1000 regarding monarch butterflies; and San Leandro Zoning Code, including Section 4- 1906 regarding preservation and replacement of existing trees. The site plan (Figure 3 and Appendix A) identifies trees to be removed and protection measures for trees to remain in place. Tree protection measures are identified per Section 4-1906 of the Zoning Code, and include protective fencing, no grading or construction in tree protection zones, no dumping of chemicals or debris in protection zones, and consultation with an arborist prior to root pruning. Impacts would not be greater than those identified in the General Plan EIR. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED f. Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan has been adopted that is applicable to the project site. As with the General Plan EIR, no impacts would occur, and impacts would not be greater than those identified in the General Plan EIR. NO IMPACT Conclusion The project would comply with applicable 2035 General Plan, Municipal Code, and Zoning Code regulations, and would have no new or substantially more severe impacts to biological resources, nor would there be any potentially significant off-site impacts, cumulative impacts, or previously identified significant effects not discussed in the General Plan EIR. No previously identified
