2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />1388 Bancroft Avenue Project City of San Leandro <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration November 2018 <br />2.0-12 <br />foot decrease in impervious area, as the project would have 43,292 square feet of impervious <br />area, which would include 14,563 square feet of paved areas and 28,729 square feet of roof area. <br />The stormwater system would convey runoff from impervious surfaces to bioretention areas for <br />treatment of the water. The bioretention locations are shown on Figure 2.0-8, Stormwater Control <br />Plan. <br />LIGHTING <br />The project would include interior lighting for the residential uses, which would be typical of <br />residential-type lighting. The project would retain and not alter the existing street lighting on <br />Bancroft Avenue and on Joaquin Avenue. Parking lot lighting would comply with City of San <br />Leandro regulations and would be designed to minimize lighting and glare effects. <br />UTILITIES <br />The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) would provide electric and natural gas services. <br />ACI would provide refuse collection services. The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) would <br />supply water to the site. The City of San Leandro would provide wastewater collection, treatment, <br />and disposal services. The storm drain system connecting to the site would be maintained by the <br />San Leandro Public Works Department. Police services would be provided by the San Leandro <br />Police Department, and fire protection by the Alameda County Fire Department. <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />The developer plans to build the project in a single phase with a duration of approximately 15 <br />months. Consistent with the City’s Noise Ordinance, construction would generally take place <br />between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and between 8:00 a.m. and <br />7:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. <br />Construction activities would consist of demolishing the existing buildings, preparing the site <br />(including grading), removing existing paved areas, and constructing the new building and <br />parking lot. The top two feet of existing soil would be over-excavated and re-compacted. <br />Materials from the demolished buildings and paved areas would be used to fill in the existing <br />basement area of the current development. Construction would also involve the use of heavy <br />equipment such as bulldozers, scrapers, backhoes, excavators, loaders, compactors, rollers, and <br />a paving machine. <br />LAND USE <br />General Plan Designation <br />The project site is designated as Downtown Mixed Use in the San Leandro General Plan. The <br />designation corresponds to part of the area that has historically been San Leandro’s central <br />business district. It allows a range of uses that together create a pedestrian-oriented street <br />environment. These uses include retail shops, services, offices, cultural activities, public and civic <br />buildings, and similar and compatible uses, including upper-story residential uses. A maximum floor <br />area ratio (FAR) of 3.5 applies, and residential densities range from 24 to 100 units per net acre. <br />The project would comply with applicable General Plan regulations.
