Residents’ prior comments are incorporated by reference herein, <br />and support this Appeal. <br /> <br />East Bay Residents urges the City Council to grant this Appeal and remand <br />the Project to City Staff to prepare an Infill EIR for the Project.

East Bay Residents reserves the right to submit supplemental <br />comments and evidence at any later hearings and proceedings related to the <br />Project, in accordance with State law.8 <br /> <br />I. STATEMENT OF INTEREST <br /> <br />East Bay Residents is an unincorporated association of individuals and labor <br />organizations that may be adversely affected by the potential public and worker <br />health and safety hazards and environmental and public service impacts of the <br />Project. The association includes San Leandro residents Gene Jones, Anthony <br />Haynes, and Mario Oliveira, UA Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 342, International <br />Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 595, Sheet Metal Workers Local 104, <br />Sprinkler Fitters Local 483, their members and families, and other individuals that <br />live and/or work in the City of San Leandro and Alameda County. <br /> <br />Individual members of East Bay Residents and its affiliated labor <br />organizations live, work, recreate and raise their families in Alameda County, <br />including in the City of San Leandro. They would be directly affected by the <br />Project’s environmental and health and safety impacts. Individual members may <br />also work on the Project itself. Accordingly, they will be first in line to be exposed to <br />any health and safety hazards that exist onsite. <br /> <br />The organizational members of East Bay Residents also have an interest in <br />enforcing environmental laws that encourage sustainable development and ensure a <br />safe working environment for its members. Environmentally detrimental projects <br />can jeopardize future jobs by making it more difficult and more expensive for <br />business and industry to expand in the region, and by making it less desirable for <br /> <br />8 Gov.
