SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO May 2022 Page 59 transportation impacts that include, but are not limited to, “vehicle miles traveled (VMT), VMT per capita, automobile trip generation rates, or automobile trips generated.”17 18 OPR selected VMT as the preferred metric with July 1st, 2020 as the statewide implementation date. Agencies may opt-in use of new metrics prior to that date.19 The City has not formally adopted a significance criterion, however, the First Addendum found that the trip generation analysis for the modifications under the First Addendum would generate less trips than the Original Project, the VMT for the Modified Project would likely be lower than that for the Original Project. Based on this net reduction in trips and reduction in VMT, the Modified Project consisting of 6 additional residential units will result the same or less impacts than were disclosed in the Certified EIR and evaluated in the First Addendum. Furthermore, it is likely the same Certified EIR mitigations will still apply, though without further detailed analysis, it is undetermined which of those mitigations would no longer be necessary. However, for the purpose of this Addendum, the assumption is that all mitigation measures shall continue to be required of and implemented for the Modified Project.Therefore, the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of the existing impacts putting it in conflict or inconsistency with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b). TRAF-c. The Certified EIR and the First Addendum found that the Original Project and Approved Project would have no impact from hazards from incompatible uses. This would remain for the Modified Project. However, the Certified EIR found that the location of the proposed northern driveway of the North Golf Course Residential component of the Original Project presents a potential sight distance challenge for cars pulling out of the driveway and would constitute a significant impact. Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRAF-4A would reduce this impact to less than significant by removing the North Golf Course northern driveway from the project plans. This Mitigation Measure would also be implemented for the Modified Project. The Certified EIR also found that the proposed southern driveway of the North Golf Course Residential component would potentially result in a design hazard due to its location in relation to the proposed Monarch Bay Drive and Mulford Point Drive intersection. Implementation of Mitigation Measure TRAF-4B in coordination with TRAF-1D would reduce this impact to less than significant by moving the Southern Driveway of the North Golf Course residential component to the north, to form a standard four-legged intersection. These Mitigation Measures would also be implemented for the Modified Project. Furthermore, no new design features are proposed. Therefore, with the implementation of these Mitigation Measures, the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of the existing impacts as they relate to increased hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible uses. 17 Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. 2020.
