Mitigation Measure 3.7.3 of the GDP EIR, the Applicant has retained S WA Group, certified landscape architects, to prepare a landscape plan as part of the project's Precise Development Plan process. The landscape plan, on file with the City of San Leandro, shows plan views of proposed landscape mitigation for Phases 2A, 213, and 3. Proposed landscaping would reduce the visual contrast of project structures with surrounding open spaces. D.3 POTENTIAL IMPACT: Development of the proposed project would increase light and glare in the project vicinity. FINDING: The mitigation measures described in the Draft SEIR that have been, or will be, implemented as requirements of the GDP EIR would reduce the impact to a less than significant level. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.7.4 of the GDP EIR would mitigate this impact. The GDP EIR identified light and glare as an impact of the entire project and recommended in Mitigation Measure 3.7.4 that lighting in the development should be designed, or otherwise be shielded from surrounding uses, including preserved habitat, such that light and glare would not adversely impact those uses. This mitigation was adopted as a Condition of Approval for the GDP EIR. E. NOISE E.1 POTENTIAL IMPACT: Construction activities for buildings and roadways would intermittently and temporarily generate noise levels above ambient levels during the construction period. FINDING: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that avoid or substantially lessen the potential significant environmental effect. STATEMENT OF FACTS: Implementation of construction noise Mitigation Measures 3.6.1 to 3.6.4 identified in the GDP EIR would reduce potentially significant impacts to a less than significant level. These measures include limiting construction activities to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, scheduling the highest noise producing activities when ambient noise levels are highest, use of the quietest equipment available and performing high noise activities off -site whenever possible. E.2 POTENTIAL IMPACT: Railroad activities would likely generate noise levels in excess of noise standards. FINDING: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that avoid or substantially lessen the potential significant environmental effect. 10
