City of San Leandro 2824 Halcyon Drive Residential Project 94 in an area already served by emergency service providers. The applicant provided a Fire Access Exhibit which shows adequate fire access to the site via a new internal roadway which would provide a connection to Halcyon Drive via Muscari Street and a connection to Oleander Street by way of Elderberry Way (Appendix PLAN). There are five ACFD fire stations in the City. The ACFD serves the project area from Station 12 located approximately 0.52 mile north of the project site at 1065 143rd Avenue. The project is required to comply with applicable fire code regulations, including the California Fire Code. The ACFD confirmed that growth under the General Plan should not require the expansion of existing facilities to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives. Additionally, the ACFD would review the project design prior to approval as required by General Plan Policy CSF-1.5, to ensure adequate fire protection measures are incorporated and adequate emergency access to the project site is provided. Development under the General Plan would be required to comply with abatement of fire-related hazards and pre-fire management prescriptions as outlined in the California Health and Safety Code and California Fire Plan (City of San Leandro 2016b). This impact would be less than significant. Police Services The SLPD provides police services within the city limits and the city’s sphere of influence. The Alameda County Sheriff’s Department provides mutual aid on an as-needed basis. The SLPD is located at 901 East 14th Street approximately 2.13 miles north of the project site. The anticipated population increase from the proposed project would represent approximately 0.34 percent of the anticipated population growth identified in the General Plan EIR. The General Plan EIR identified that the SLPD does not currently meet its preferred service ratio formula of 10.4 officers per 10,000 residents and that it would need to hire additional officers and staff in order to meet the service ratio to serve new growth associated with General Plan buildout. Future additional construction or expansion of SLPD facilities beyond those mentioned in the General Plan EIR are not anticipated. As the project is included in population growth estimates associated with the General Plan EIR, and the project site is surrounded by development in an area already served by emergency service providers, the project would not create the need for additional construction or expansion of SLPD facilities. In addition, General Plan Policies such as Policies CSF-1.1 and CSF-1.5 focused on maintaining high-quality police protection service and requiring the Police Department to review proposed development to ensure adequate levels of service can be provided, would further reduce impacts associated with the project. This impact would be less than significant. Schools The project site is served by the SLUSD. Student enrollment in the SLUSD was 9,067 students for the 2019-2020 school year (California Department of Education 2021). The project would generate a total of 7 new students within the SLUSD.7 Because the increased student population would fall within the amount envisioned under the General Plan EIR (1,958 new students at buildout), the findings of the General Plan EIR in relation to school services would be applicable to the project. The General Plan EIR found that the 1,958 projected new students would exceed the remaining 1,792 remaining student capacity of SLUSD. Development such as the project would occur gradually over the buildout horizon and would be subject to current development impact fees at the time of development. According to California Government Code Section 65995(h), the payment of statutory mitigation fees is “deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts of any legal or 7 Calculation: 18 dwelling units x 0.35 (SLUSD student generation rate) (City of San Leandro 2016b) equals 7 new students (rounded).
