SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO Page 24 PlaceWorks Act, and possible CDFW under the Streambed Alteration Agreement program. The 152 single family residences and the 48 townhomes on the existing golf course for the Approved Project constituted an additional development footprint in comparison to the Original Project and could encroach on existing wetland areas on the golf course, representing a larger impact area. Mitigation Measure BIO-3 would also be implemented for the Modified Project which results in the net increase of 6 units but would be located within the same footprint of the site plan from the Approved Project and therefore not cause additional impacts, would ensure that all wetlands which are potentially impacted, newly or previously identified, by the Modified Project would be identified through a jurisdictional wetland delineation verified by the Army Corps. Furthermore, compensatory mitigation through a Wetland Protection and Replacement Program would be implemented, and regulatory agencies with relevant jurisdiction would be required to give approval. With implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-3, the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of the existing impacts to wetlands. BIO-d. As with the Approved Project, the Modified Project would result in modifications to existing wildlife habitat but would be located within the same footprint of the site plan from the Approved Project and therefore not increase interference with existing movement opportunities and use of native wildlife nursery areas. The project site is mostly development with minimal wildlife habitat value, with the exception of the open waters of the marina basin and San Francisco Bay, which would be improved through removal of the existing dock system and creation of enhanced natural shoreline along lower segments of the existing riprap. Existing habitat, including the monarch butterfly roosting habitat at the southeast edge of the golf course would remain unaffected with the Modified Project. Potential adverse impacts on fish and other aquatic species would be avoided through implementation of Mitigation Measures BIO-1 and BIO-3 as described in the Certified EIR. Therefore, the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of any existing impacts to wildlife movement opportunities and use of native wildlife nursery areas. BIO-e. The Modified Project would not conflict with any relevant goals and policies in the City of San Leandro General Plan related to protection of biological and wetland resources. Consistency with relevant policies would be achieved through compliance with Mitigation Measures BIO-1A, BIO-1B, BIO-1C, and BIO-3. Furthermore, implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-5A, Tree Protection and Replacement, and Mitigation Measure BIO-5B, reaffirming implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-1A, would address potential impacts on regulated trees. Therefore, the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of any existing impacts to any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. BIO-f. As with the Approved Project, the Modified Project would not conflict with any adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved conservation plan. No such plans have been adopted encompassing the project vicinity, and no impacts are anticipated.
