Initial Study <br /> <br />Draft Initial Study – Mitigated Negative Declaration 11 <br />Green Building Features <br />Construction of the project would incorporate several green building features. The project would <br />utilize energy efficient LED lighting and controls that would exceed the requirements of Title 24 of <br />the California Energy Commission’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards, as well as City energy <br />efficiency requirements. Plumbing fixtures used for the proposed project would be high-efficiency <br />fixtures, which would minimize the potential inefficient or wasteful consumption of energy related <br />to water and wastewater. The project would not use natural gas in accordance with City of San <br />Leandro reach codes effective as of January 2023. <br />Utilities and Public Services <br />Water would be provided to the project site by the East Bay Municipal Utility District and the <br />applicant was provided a Will Serve Letter from EBMUD on October 7, 2021. Wastewater treatment <br />for the project site would be served by the Oro Loma Sanitary District (OLSD). The City of San <br />Leandro Department of Public Works owns and maintains 175 miles of storm drain conduits <br />throughout the city. The project would continue to connect to the existing storm drain system <br />operated and maintained by the City of San Leandro. Stormwater from the project site drains west <br />to Washington Avenue, where it is collected by storm drains into the City’s stormwater system. <br />Electricity would be provided to the project site by East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) via Pacific <br />Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) infrastructure, and the project would occasionally involve use of a <br />500 horsepower backup generator. Infrastructure capable of supporting electric and <br />telecommunications is present at the project site and in the project vicinity. The project site would <br />be served by existing public services within the city. The Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) <br />would provide fire protection and emergency medical service to the project site. The San Leandro <br />Police Department (SLPD) would provide law enforcement services to the project site. <br />10. Site Preparation and Construction <br />Site preparation would include demolition of paving and other onsite features as well as grading. <br />Construction activities would include construction, paving, and architectural coating. Construction is <br />anticipated to begin in early 2024 and would be completed in spring 2025. Pursuant to Section 4- <br />1.1115 of SLMC, construction would occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday <br />through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Table 2 below describes the <br />estimated site preparation and construction schedule, which is based on data provided in the Air <br />Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts Report prepared by FirstCarbon Solutions <br />(Appendix B). <br />Table 2 Projected Site Preparation and Construction Timeline <br />Stage Start Date End Date <br />Demolition January 2024 February 2024 <br />Site Preparation February 2024 March 2024 <br />Grading February 2024 March 2024 <br />Building Construction February 2024 January 2025 <br />Paving January 2025 February 2025 <br />Architectural Coating February 2025 March 2025
