Environmental Checklist Greenhouse Gas Emissions Environmental Consistency Checklist Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 59 Goals, Policies, and Actions Project Consistency AD-3: Infill development. Focus new housing development on underutilized or vacant infill sites on flatter lands and continue to discourage new development in hillside areas Consistent. The project would increase residential density on an underutilized, infill development site. TE-1: Electric vehicle adoption. Conduct education and outreach to inform members of the public about the availability of EVs, and the economic incentives available to encourage EV adoption. Consistent. The project would be required to comply with Title 24 requiring the installation of dedicated electrical infrastructure for future EV charging capabilities. WR-2: Construction and Demolition waste. Explore opportunities to exceed State requirements for construction and demolition materials by encouraging deconstruction and material reuse. Consistent. The project would be required to comply with SLMC Section 3.7.100 to recycle 100 percent of asphalt and concrete and 50 percent of the remainder of the construction and demolition debris. City of San Leandro General Plan Policy EH-3.2: Transportation Control Measures. Promote strategies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the necessity of driving. These strategies include more reliable public transportation, carpooling and vanpooling programs, employer Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs, better provisions for bicyclists and pedestrians, and encouraging mixed use and higher density development around transit stations. Consistent. The project would result in increased residential density near a bus stop served by AC Transit Local Line 28 located less than 500 feet from the project site. Policy EH-3.4: Design, Construction, and Operation. Require new development to be designed and constructed in a way that reduces the potential for future air quality problems, such as odors and the emission of any and all air pollutants. This should be done by: (a)Requiring construction and grading practices that minimize airborne dust and particulate matter; (b)Ensuring that best available control technology is used for operations that could generate air pollutants; (c)Encouraging energy conservation and low-polluting energy sources; (d)Promoting landscaping and tree planting to absorb carbon monoxide and other pollutants; and (e)Implementing the complementary strategies to reduce greenhouse gases identified in the Climate Action Plan. Consistent. The project would be encouraged to implement BAAQMD BMPs during construction to reduce fugitive dust impacts and reduce the potential for significant construction pollutant emissions. Goal OSC-7: Promote recycling, water conservation, green building, and other programs which reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a more sustainable environment. Consistent. The project would be required to be built to Title 24 standards which would include landscaping and energy efficient building materials which would reduce GHG emissions. Policy OSC-7.3: Drought-Tolerant Landscaping. Encourage the use of native vegetation and Bay-friendly landscaping and enforce the State Department of Water Resources Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO). Consistent. The project would include drought-tolerant landscaping to ensure consistency with the City’s WELO. Policy OSC-7.9: Reducing Greenhouse Gases Through Land Use and Transportation Choices. Locate and design new development in a manner which maximizes the ability to use transit, walk, or bicycle for most trips, reduce dependence on fossil fuel powered vehicles, and reduce vehicle miles traveled. Consistent. The project would include construction of sidewalks along both sides of internal roadway Street A which would provide a pedestrian connection from Muscari Street to Elderberry Way where one currently does not exist. The project would be located less than 500 feet east of a bus stop providing access to AC Transit Local Line 28 and approximately 0.7 mile from the BART Bay Fair station.
