File Number: 25-134 Draft and Final EIR have adequately evaluated and addressed the subject matter. Staff believes the environmental documentation provides adequate analysis to support City Council adoption of the CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations . The EIR identified significant, unavoidable adverse impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, due to the BAAQMD having classified all projects that use or might use natural gas as having a significant climate impact. Due to a recent lawsuit, California Restaurant Association v City of Berkeley, cities may not ban the use of natural gas. Because the applicant wants to have the flexibility to offer natural gas to potential tenants, the project is proposing to be plumbed for gas. However, all lighting, heating, air conditioning, and appliances would use electricity; gas would only be used for necessary industrial processes, if at all. The CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, Attachment C to Attachment A, summarizes each impact, any mitigation measures and the feasibility of mitigation, and residual impacts after mitigation for each impact category in the EIR and alternatives to the project and establishes the benefits of the project to the City of San Leandro and the reasons for approving the project in spite of some impacts that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance.. FINDINGS OF FACT To approve the proposed Administrative Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit and Administrative Exception (Height), the City Council must make certain findings of facts pursuant to the Zoning Code. Staff has analyzed the proposal and determined that the required findings can be made, as documented in Attachment I - Findings of Fact. PUBLIC OUTREACH A notice of public hearing was published for this project in the East Bay Times Daily Review newspaper on April 25, 2025, at City Hall, on the property, and by mail to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property.
