Roberts Landing residential development process in that this document concentrates on potential environmental impacts which were not fully analyzed as potentially significant impacts on the environment. Further environmental review is not required for this project. In April 1994, an initiative was approved by the citizens of San Leandro amending the City of San Leandro's Zoning Ordinance and Zoning District Map in the Roberts Landing area. The Roberts Landing Initiative specifically reclassified an approximately 12-acre area of the Citation property, north of Lewelling Boulevard extension, from Single -Family Residential to Open Space. The Initiative also amended the City's Special Review Overlay District Criteria by adding additional criteria that addressed wetlands protection, flooding, toxics remediation, human health and safety, sea level rise, endangered species habitat and mitigation costs. A Draft Supplemental EIR was prepared by Environmental Science Associates (ESA) for Phases 2A, 2B and 3 and was circulated for comment in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, including the holding of a public hearing before the Planning Commission on December 14, 1995, for the purpose of receiving oral comments, and the acceptance of written comments for the required statutory period; A Final Supplemental EIR was then prepared by ESA, incorporating the Draft Supplemental EIR and the comments and responses thereto. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LEANDRO DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: I. That the City Council makes the following findings: A. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY A.1 POTENTIAL IMPACT: Increases in flooding on- and off -site may occur due to increases in impermeable surfaces and runoff, tidal influence and/or sea level rise. FINDING: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project that avoid or substantially lessen the potential significant environmental affect of increased flooding. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The building pad elevations within the Phase 2A, 2B, and 3 portions of the GDP area would be of sufficient height (at least 10 feet NGVD) to adequately protect housing units from 100-year flood events and anticipated sea level rise for the projected life of the project (estimated at 50 years). Using the most conservative estimates of 100-year tide elevation and sea -level rise, flood waters 01
