a. The proposed Project is located on an infill site, and is a Transit Priority Project in that it (i) contains approximately 154,121 square feet of residential use, which is 53 percent of the total building square -footage proposed for the Project, which is 286,204 square feet; (ii) provides a density of 123 dwelling units per acre; and (iii) is within a Transit Priority Area one-half mile of a major transit stop or high -quality transit corridor included in a regional transportation plan, which includes the San Leandro BART station as well as a number of bus stations; b. The Project is consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in San Francisco Bay Area's Sustainable Communities Strategy, the Plan Bay Area 2040, as described in detail in Chapter 2.1 of the Infill Checklist. Specifically, the Project is consistent with key land use targets identified in Plan Bay Area 2040 as the Project is a transit -oriented, high density mixed -use retail and residential project located within the Alameda County Urban Growth Boundary; c. The Project has incorporated all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria set forth by the City in prior EIRs and adopted in findings made pursuant to California Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21081, which are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the Infill Checklist identifies relevant City Standard Conditions of Approval (SCAB) which function as uniformly applicable development policies (UADPs) that will substantially mitigate environmental effects. These SCAs and UADPs are adopted as requirements of individual projects when approved by the City and they will be imposed on the Project; d. In addition, the Project meets the criteria and performance standards for an "infill project" under PRC Section 21094.5 and CEQA Guidelines section 15183.3 and Appendix M that allows the use of an Infill Project Checklist under CEQA Guidelines Appendix N as the basis for an Infill Checklist (CEQA Guidelines section 15183.3(d)1) and ((2)(A)). The discussion and findings related to the proposed Project as an "infill project" in Section 2.1 of the Infill Checklist are incorporated herein. 2. All potentially significant or significant project and cumulative effects required to be identified in the Infill Checklist have been identified and analyzed, including those effects that have been analyzed in the City's prior EIRs, consistent with the standards in the Infill Project Checklist; 3. That it has carefully reviewed and considered the information contained in the Infill Checklist (including any comments received on the Project) prior to acting upon the Infill Checklist and Project; 4. That the 2021 Appendix N Infill Checklist for the Project identifies General Plan policies and/or actions that would apply to the development of the project and have been determined in the General Plan EIR to substantially mitigate environmental effects. It also identifies UADPs that would substantially mitigate environmental impacts that were either not analyzed in the General Plan EIR or that are more significant (i.e., substantially more severe) than previously analyzed. Consistent with the requirements of CEQA Guidelines section 15183.3, the Infill Checklist determined that the project would not result in any significant impacts that are substantially more severe than anticipated in the General Plan EIR that cannot be substantially mitigated by uniformly applicable development policies or standards.
