STATEMENT OF FACTS: The single-family residence/office is a nonconforming use in the Commercial Services District. The concern is that by demolishing a single-family residence a portion of the housing stock is being removed. In this case, the residence was converted to an office use and has been used as such for an extended period of time. The single-family home exists as a nonconforming use in the Commercial Services District. Finally, the Redevelopment Agency will be required to ensure its obligation for replacement housing will be addressed through the Auto Mall Project Replacement Housing Plan for the City portion of the City of San Leandro/Alameda County Redevelopment Project. k. CIRCULATION EFFECT: A traffic study was conducted by TJKM, Transportation Consultants to evaluate anticipated traffic impacts related to the project and is attached as Exhibit D in the Initial Study. The proposed project consists of one new and one used car sales establishment. There are other anticipated automobile sales facilities in the area which do not require discretionary approvals which could contribute to cumulative traffic impacts. These anticipated facilities were also evaluated as part of the traffic study. The traffic study also analyzed the impacts of traffic restrictions on Wayne Avenue. FINDINGS: The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration include an analysis of the traffic impacts of the proposed project and other anticipated automobile sales facilities which could contribute to cumulative traffic impacts. The conclusion of the traffic study is that "the proposed project was found to not have significant traffic impacts on the local street system because of its moderate added traffic during peak commute hours." The traffic study also analyzed the impacts of traffic restrictions on, and a possible closure of, Wayne Avenue. The study concluded that the possible closure would result in a significant impact which could not be mitigated. The closure of Wayne Avenue was eliminated as part of the project. STATEMENT OF FACTS: A traffic study was prepared by TJKM, Transportation Consultants and is included as an attachment to the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration. The study established baseline conditions (including traffic expected to be generated from other anticipated auto dealerships). The result of the analysis of existing plus anticipated project traffic was that there would be no changes in the level of service ratings. All intersections would continue to operate at LOS A or B. The traffic study then analyzed traffic impacts from the proposed project over the baseline condition. The result of this analysis is that there would be no changes in the level of service ratings for any of the study intersections. Each of the study intersections would continue to operate at LOS A or B. These represent the highest ratings for level of service. The Initial Study therefore stated that the proposal will not generate substantial additional vehicular movement. The traffic study found that the traffic from existing plus anticipated plus project developments would produce approximately 110 new a.m. peak trips and 210 new p.m. peak trips.
