City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 42 Significant Impact Less than Significant or Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated No Impact Analyzed in the Prior EIR f. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? □ ■ □ ■ Analysis in the General Plan EIR The General Plan EIR discusses geology and soils impacts in Section 4.5 and on pages 4.4-15 to 4.4- 16, and found impacts to be less than significant with no mitigation measures required. The following describes the analysis included in the General Plan EIR and provides a streamlined review to determine whether there would be project-specific impacts that are either 1) peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project is located; 2) were not previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR as significant effects; 3) are potentially significant off-site impacts and cumulative impacts that were not previously discussed in the General Plan EIR; or 4) are now determined to have a more severe impact than discussed in the General Plan EIR due to substantial new information. Project-Specific Impacts a.1. Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? a.2. Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? a.3. Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? a.4. Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides? The General Plan EIR determined this impact to be less than significant because the 2035 General Plan would not cause or worsen seismic activity in the region or otherwise exacerbate the seismic hazard (City of San Leandro 2017a). The site is in a moderate liquefaction susceptibility zone (Figure 7-2 of the 2035 General Plan). Landslides are not common in parts of the city not in the San Leandro Hills area, which includes the project site. The project would be consistent with the density of development anticipated for the project site in the 2035 General Plan; therefore, the project would not cause or worsen seismic activity in the region. Further, the project would incorporate required geologic protections (including from potential seismic and liquefaction events) for the proposed residential structures per 2035 General Plan Policy EH-1 and the California Building Code.
