SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO 1. Introduction 1.1 BACKGROUND, PURPOSE, AND SCOPE This document is an Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the San Leandro Shoreline Development Project (referred to as the "Original Project"), State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2013072011, certified on July 15, 2015, which was completed for an integrated master planned development and a public/private partnership between Cal Coast Companies LLC and the City of San Leandro, on approximately 75 acres of the City -owned shoreline. The Original Project analyzed in the Certified EIR indicated compliance with all Federal, State, and Regional regulations of the time, as well as agency approval of the environmental analysis and impact mitigation program. Components of the Project's original conceptual design were coordinated with 2015 sea level planning requirements of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). At the time of EIR Certification, BCDC required relevant projects to plan for mid-level sea level rise of approximately 36 inches. However, BCDC now requires projects to plan for the upper range of sea level rise, approximately 65 inches. In response, Cal Coast has proposed a series of modifications to the conceptual design which are described in detail below in Section 2, Project Description. This Addendum serves as the environmental review pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 etseq.) for proposed modifications to the Original Project, which is referred to in this Addendum as the "Modified Project". Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the City of San Leandro is the lead agency because it has the principal responsibility for deciding whether or not to approve the proposed project. This Addendum analyzes the changes to the Original Project, described in detail below in Section 2, Project Description. 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES Pursuant to Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR or negative declaration shall be prepared for the project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that one or more of the following conditions are met: January 2020 Page 3
