SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO May 2022 Page 69 substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Comments: MAN-a. Based on the preceding discussion and the Certified EIR, and the First Addendum, it has been determined that the Modified Project is consistent with the analysis of the Certified EIR and First Addendum. Implementation of the Modified Project, which increases the height of certain buildings, adds 6 net new housing units (within the footprint of the existing proposed buildings) but decreases overall building area, would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of any impact related to the degradation of the environment, reduction in the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, causation of a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, elimination of a plant or animal community, substantial reduction of the number or restriction of the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or elimination of important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. MAN-b. According to the Certified EIR and the First Addendum, the Original Project would have resulted in a less than significant impact related to cumulative impacts, with exception to the significant and unavoidable impacts from GHG Emissions. Impacts of the Original Project would have been mitigated to less than significant levels through Mitigation Measures AIR-2 and AIR-5 for cumulative Air Quality impacts, BIO-1A, BIO-1B, BIO-1C, BIO-3, BIO-5A, and BIO-5B for cumulative Biological Resources impacts, and GHG-1A through GHG-1F for cumulative impacts related to energy generation and conservation from Utilities and Services Systems impacts. Mitigation Measures GHG-1A through GHG-1F for cumulative GHG emissions impacts were implemented, however the impacts remained significant and unavoidable. Therefore, the Original Project would not have been expected to contribute to significant cumulative impacts, with exception to GHG Emissions. The Modified Project would also have less than significant impacts with the incorporation of the aforementioned mitigation measures found within the Certified EIR for the Original Project, with exception to those cumulative impacts found from GHG Emissions. Therefore, the Modified Project would not contribute to significant cumulative impacts, in exceedance of those identified in the Certified EIR and First Addendum, when considered along with other impacts or other reasonably foreseeable projects or when considered with the overall buildout under the City’s General Plan. Therefore, implementation of the Modified Project would not result in a new impact or a substantial increase in magnitude of the impact related to cumulative impacts.
