These two locations are within <br />the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) General Plan Land Use Designation, which “allows a mix of <br />commercial and residential uses oriented in a linear development pattern along major <br />transit-served arterials:” <br />o MacArthur Boulevard in northeastern San Leandro between Durant Avenue and <br />Foothill Boulevard <br />o Washington Avenue in central San Leandro between Castro Street and San <br />Leandro Boulevard <br />New General Plan Environmental Justice Element <br />Senate Bill 1000 (SB 1000), “The Planning for Healthy Communities Act” of 2016 amended <br />Section 65302 of the Government Code to require local jurisdictions to create an Environmental <br />Justice Element or incorporate environmental justice policies when updating two or more <br />elements of its General Plan. Environmental Justice is defined as “the fair treatment and <br />meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures and incomes, and national origins, with <br />respect to the development, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, <br />regulations, and policies”. <br />The proposed Environmental Justice (EJ) Element included as Exhibit B to Attachment B, <br />identifies goals, policies, and actions to reduce unique or compounded health risks, particularly <br />for neighborhoods that face social, economic, and environmental burdens. The proposed EJ <br />Element builds on other EJ planning work done to date by the City, including the Climate Action <br />Plan and Equity Work Plan. The draft document cross-references existing General Plan policies <br />that advance EJ and proposes new policies to comply with SB 1000. The proposed EJ Element <br />incorporates feedback from a seven-person Community Advisory Committee (CAC), community <br />workshop participants, and feedback from the Planning Commission and City Council Work <br />Sessions held on October 6 and 10, 2022. <br />Environmental Review <br />The City adopted its 2035 General Plan and certified the associated environmental impact report <br />(EIR) in 2016. On September 16, 2022, the City published a Draft Supplemental EIR (SEIR) <br />(SCH# 2022010214) to analyze the project, which includes General Plan and Zoning <br />Amendments. No specific development projects are proposed at this time. <br />The Draft SEIR found no new significant and unavoidable impacts associated with the project, but <br />proposed three new mitigation measures proposed to comply with the Bay Area Air Quality <br />Page 6 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/30/2022
