Environmental Checklist Transportation/Traffic Environmental Consistency Checklist Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 103 TRA). Therefore, the project would generate 15 percent less VMT per capita than the countywide average, and impacts would be less than significant. c.Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible use (e.g., farm equipment)? d.Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? The General Plan EIR determined that the roadway network changes proposed as part of the General Plan would not substantially increase hazards due to a design feature via compliance with General Plan Policy T-7.6 which maintains site design, engineering, and zoning standards which ensure that adequate visibility is maintained along streets and driveways. In addition, roadway improvements proposed as part of the General Plan would be designed and reviewed in accordance with the City of San Leandro Standard Plans which are promulgated and administered by the City Engineering and Transportation Department (City of San Leandro 2021b). General Plan Action T- 6.3.A which requires a study of traffic impacts and a plan for accommodating displaced traffic before making major changes to street design or circulation patterns, would ensure efficient circulation and adequate access are provided in the City which would help facilitate emergency response. In compliance with the State of California Emergency Services Act, Chapter 7 of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code, the City of San Leandro has an emergency plan based on the State Emergency Management System and addresses all of the requirements of the law to safely respond to emergencies and to protect life, property, and the environment. The proposed project would be required to comply with all building, fire, and safety codes and development plans would be subject to review and approval by the City’s Community Development Department and the ACFD. Required review by these departments would ensure the circulation system for the project site would provide adequate emergency access. Furthermore, the project would not require temporary or permanent closures to roadways. Implementation of the General Plan policies and the City’s engineering and development standards would ensure that adequate emergency access is provided to the City. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. Conclusion The estimated increased trip generation rates for the project would be below thresholds of significance and project-specific impacts relative to traffic hazards, emergency access, pedestrian and bicycle circulation, and transit capacity would not exceed or differ from those identified in the General Plan EIR. In addition, the project would not result in new specific effects that were not addressed in the General Plan EIR, and no new mitigation measures would be required. Accordingly, no additional review is required.
