SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO Page 64 PlaceWorks Background: 2022 Appendix G Threshold The CEQA Checklist Guidelines for Utilities and Service System has been updated since those used for the Certified EIR of the Original Project. The changes are detailed below: XIX. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, or wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? c) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments? d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project’s solid waste disposal needs? e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Comments: UTIL-a, b, c, d, e. Compared to the impacts described in the Approved Project, the addition of 6 housing units would not require major or minor modifications or additions to existing water, wastewater treatment/storm drainage, electric power, natural gas or telecommunications facilities at the project site that are different than those required for the Approved Project site plan. This is primarily because the project site has been previously developed and already includes significant utility infrastructure. In addition, the Modified Project would not change the uses of the Approved Project. With a reduction of 1,027 square feet of commercial building area, and a net increase of 6 townhouse units, small increase in demand for water would be within the overall range of the demand estimated in the First Addendum, which projected an increased demand of approximately seven percent. The Certified EIR for the Original Project notes that although creation of new or extended water distribution pipes or wastewater pipes or lift stations/capacities could create short-term construction- related environmental effects (e.g. noise, dust, traffic, temporary service interruption, etc.); most of the
