City of San Leandro 311 MacArthur Boulevard Residential Project 54 e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? The General Plan EIR determined less than significant impacts to local airports based on the land use designations within the 2035 General Plan, as well as compliance with 2035 General Plan policies regarding airport operations and development of surrounding areas. There are no private airstrips near the project site. The nearest airport, Oakland International Airport is approximately 3.1 miles west of the project site, outside of the airport influence area, as defined in the Oakland International Airport Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (Alameda County 2010). Additionally, the total height of the proposed buildings would be similar to the height of nearby structures, including a four-story building at the corner of Macarthur Boulevard and Durant Avenue within 300 feet of the project site. Therefore, there would be no safety hazard impacts related to airports and airstrips, consistent with the General Plan EIR. NO IMPACT f. Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? The General Plan EIR determined less than significant impacts regarding interference with adopted emergency response and evacuation plans, as future developments are required to comply with federal, state, and local regulations and existing plans and policies (City of San Leandro 2016a). The City of San Leandro Police Department and Alameda County Fire Department review individual development proposals to ensure emergency access needs are met. The project would not block access nor permanently constrain evacuation routes adopted in an emergency response plan or emergency evaluation plan. With the required review by police and fire departments, impacts would be less than significant, consistent with the General Plan EIR. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED g. Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires? The General Plan EIR determined impacts from wildland fires to be less than significant because new development would occur in areas of low wildland fire risk, and projects would be required to comply with federal, state, and local laws. The project site is in an urbanized area of the city, surrounded primarily by paved surfaces and structures. The project site is not intermixed with or adjacent to wildlands. Figure 7-3 of the 2035 General Plan indicates that the project site is approximately 200 feet west of a very high fire hazard severity zone that comprises the hills east of the city (City of San Leandro 2016a). The project would comply with 2035 General Plan policies and the applicable fire and building codes requiring appropriate vegetation management, emergency access including firefighting access, and development strategies to reduce fire risk. Impacts would be less than significant, consistent with the General Plan EIR. LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED Conclusion The project would not generate or expose sensitive receptors to hazards and hazardous materials. The project would have no new or substantially more severe impacts regarding hazards and hazardous materials, nor would there be any potentially significant off-site impacts, cumulative
