2. SCOPE OF WORK Environmental Vision can prepare visual simulations to illustrate the appearance of a "mitigated" project. Examples of visual simulations prepared by Environmental Vision are presented in Section 7, References and Work Samples. 5. Land Use and Planning Issues The proposed project would construct 56 residential units on an approximately 60-acre site within the City of San Leandro Sphere of Influence. The project site is currently graded as a result of previous quarry activities. Two houses, two storage sheds, and old quarry facility foundations are currently located on site. The project site is adjacent to the eastern boundary of San Leandro City limits. Lake Chabot Road and Lake Chabot Regional Park is located north of the project site, open space lies to the east, single-family homes to the south, and the Boulders Golf Center and Driving Range lies to the west. The site is currently zoned for agricultural uses by the County of Alameda. The proposed project would increase the intensity of land use and reduce the amount of open space in the area, which would change the character of the site. The proposed development would be a compatible land use with adjacent residential uses to the south and the Golf Center to the west, but may be incompatible with adjacent open space uses. The EIR will discuss the consistency of the project with adjacent land uses as well as with the goals and policies of the City of San Leandro General Plan policies. The proposed project would require changing the land use and zoning designations for the site and amending the City's Urban Limit Line on the General Plan Map. These changes will be addressed in the EIR. Existing documentation, including the 1990 Lake Chabot Terrace EIR, will be reviewed and incorporated into this analysis, as appropriate. Tasks • Review the land use information and impact analyses contained in the City of San Leandro General Plan, and the City of San Leandro Zoning Ordinance. • Using information obtained from City staff, update the land use analysis as necessary to include new land use policies and/or City ordinances, and recent cumulative development in the project site vicinity. 17 of 37 Boulders Residential Development EIR
