SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO 2.3 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The objective of this environmental review process is to demonstrate whether the changes to the Original Project, as described below, represent "major revisions" as described in CEQA Section 21166 that would require preparation of a supplemental EIR or Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 state that no subsequent EIR shall be prepared unless the lead agency determines that either substantial changes to the project, changes in circumstances of the project, or new information about the project, are revealed. If the analysis identifies the potential for a new environmental impact, this would be considered new information and would require preparation of a supplemental EIR or IS/MND. 2.4 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS Pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), the Modified Project is considered a "project" subject to environmental review as its implementation is "an activity directly undertaken by any public agency including but not limited to public works construction and related activities clearing or grading of land, improvements to existing public structures, enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances, and the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100-65700." This EIR Addendum compares the construction and operation of the Modified Project with the Original Project described in the Certified EIR, completed in 2015, described in detail in each section of Chapter 3.0, Environmental Analysis. 2.4.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND This section describes the Project background and the Modified Project. 2.4.1.1 EXISTING SITE The Project site for the Modified Project includes a total of 75 acres of the Shoreline Recreational Area.
