Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 07/02/2021 Rincon Consultants for Housing Element Update and EIR Exhibit A – Page 16 of 21 growth forecasts contained in BAAQMD air quality plans to determine consistency with local air quality planning. This analysis will use trip generation rates from the transportation analysis. Biological Resources. The Rincon team will conduct a biological resources analysis as a desktop, program-level analysis. The Rincon team will identify potential impacts to biological resources that could occur from development under the proposed project, and to develop a suite of measures that would be required to avoid, minimize, and/or mitigate potential impacts. Because this will be a programmatic-level analysis, no project-level analyses of potential impacts will be conducted; however, the proposed measures will outline a project -level process for the analysis and identification of project -specific impacts to biological resources, and a process for selecting appropriate measures that would be applicable for development of specific sites, to reduce the need for additional CEQA-level analysis for individual projects. Cultural Resources. This analysis will address archaeological and historic resources. The Rincon team will also prepare the SB 18 and AB 52 consultations, described further under Tribal Cultural Resources. The cultural resources anal ysis will review historic resources, archaeological resources, and paleontological resources within the city and the potential impacts to those resources as a result of the project. To compile a listing of recognized significant historic and prehistoric resources, information will be obtained from the State Office of Historic Preservation and San Leandro Historical Society (if available). Greenhouse Gas Emissions. This analysis will consider the project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts related to GHG emissions and climate change. The Rincon team will present an overview of the current regulatory framework regarding GHG emissions and climate change, including SB 32, AB 32, SB 97, and SB 375, as well as adopted amendments to the CEQA Guidelines. We will also confirm that the Housing Element would be consistent with the City’s Climate Action Plan. Land Use and Planning. This section will examine land use policy issues. The Rincon team will prepare an objective discussion of whether and how the proposed Housing Element would be consistent with 2035 General Plan and EIR, the Bay Fair Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan and EIR, Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Strategy, Downtown Design Guidelines and Principles, AC Transit Multimodal Desig n Guidelines, the East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy, the Climate Action Plan, the North Area Specific Plan, the Shoreline Development Project EIR, and the draft Objective Design Standards (if available). This section will reflect the General Plan consistency analysis performed in Task J above. Noise. The noise analysis will examine both temporary construction noise, traffic noise impacts to new receptors, and long-term operational noise. Noise model calculations will be included as an appendix to the EIR, and the technical analysis will be summarized in the EIR section. Construction noise will be estimated based on information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Federal Transit Administration, and the Federal Highway Administrat ion. Traffic noise will be estimated based on traffic volume data used in the transportation analysis. In addition, the analysis will evaluate temporary construction and long -term vibration associated with the project estimated based on information from the Federal Highway Administration.
