File Number: 21-550 <br />into a dynamic new transit -oriented development area. Future <br />development in this area should reposition Bayfair Center to <br />reflect current trends in retailing; add a mix of higher -density <br />residential, office, and other commercial uses; maximize the <br />potential for BART use; and minimize dependence on autos for <br />daily trips. <br />The Council voted 6-1 to approve the first reading of the Ordinance with minor modifications <br />including: 1) the Planning Commission’s recommendation to refer to “protected” rather than <br />“buffered” bike lanes; 2) staff’s recommended language related to the applicability of new open <br />space requirements; and 3) language encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. These <br />modifications are reflected in the updated Exhibit A to the attached Ordinance. Exhibit B to the <br />attached Ordinance has also been updated to reflect the MHP Overlay Zone for the two mobile <br />home parks within the Pan area. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />On February 20, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-008 certifying an EIR <br />entitled, "Bay Fair Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan Environmental Impact <br />Report” (SCH # 2017032016)." In conjunction with the certification of the EIR, a Mitigation <br />Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was adopted for the Project. <br />Pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City of San Leandro completed an Addendum <br />to the Bay Fair Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan Final Environmental Impact <br />Report (EIR). The Addendum includes an analysis of the proposed project, based on Appendix G <br />of the CEQA Guidelines, and whether the environmental effects from the proposed project will be <br />any different from those disclosed in the Certified EIR. The Addendum concluded that the <br />proposed project will not result in any new significant impacts or substantially increase the <br />severity of any significant impacts identified in the Certified EIR. No new information of substantial <br />importance was identified, and no new mitigation measures will be necessary to reduce <br />significant impacts. Applicable mitigation measures from the Certified EIR will be included as <br />conditions of approval when future projects are processed for planning approvals. <br />On December 7, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-149 adopting the <br />Addendum to the Bay Fair TOD Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report SCH#2017032016 <br />for the Project. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no direct fiscal impact from adopting the proposed Zoning and Municipal Code <br />amendments. However, future development of the Bay Fair TOD area is anticipated to generate <br />substantial development impact fees and property tax revenues. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 2020-012 <br />adopting: <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/30/2021
