OF SR�.1F9 CITY OF SAN LEANDRO Q Department of Development Services Mc�RPOAATE� �$^ NEGATIVE DECLARATION Notice is hereby given that the City of San Leandro finds that no significant effect on the environment as prescribed by the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended will occur for the following proposed project: I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Zoning Code Amendments/ City of San Leandro (Applicant). Comprehensive changes to the City of San Leandro Zoning Code, covering both minor clarification and/or reorganizations to existing regulations, and substantive changes to use and development regulations. Substantive changes to use and development regulations include: adoption of regulations to address large single family homes, such as regulations for discretionary approval and neighborhood notice of residential projects larger than a particular size; modifications to use regulations for "group/congregate" housing types; modifications to regulations affecting certain commercial uses including, but not limited to: bars, check cashing/advance payroll loans, cigarette stores, entertainment uses, restaurants and theaters; modifications to regulations affecting certain industrial uses including, but not limited to: distribution/warehousing, outdoor storage, professional offices, and industrial uses near residential zoning districts, and modifications to existing landscape, fencing, screening and other development standards pertaining to commercial and industrial uses. H. DECLARATION THAT PROJECT WILL NOT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT ENVIROMVENT: The proposed project will have no significant effect on the area's resources, cumulative or otherwise. This is supported in the attached Initial Study Checklist Form, which concludes that implementation of the proposed project would either result in no impacts or impacts that are considered less than significant without mitigation. III. FINDINGS SUPPORTING DECLARATION: A. Subsequent to the current General Plan and Zoning Code, several policy documents (i.e., the West San Leandro - MacArthur Boulevard Redevelopment Plan) have been adopted. Land use regulations in the Zoning Code are being refined to reflect these other documents, which are generally consistent with the existing General Plan and Zoning Code. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code would result in increased discretionary review of certain land uses, with the primary objective of reducing potential land use conflicts (e.g., industrial uses next to residential uses).
