Project Description Environmental Impact Report 2-13 The proposed project would include two main surface parking areas. The lot on the west side of the building would consist primarily of parking spaces for passenger vehicles. A total of 204 parking spaces would be provided for passenger vehicles, consisting of the following:  116 standard parking spaces (9 feet by 18.5 feet)  57 spaces for compact cars (8 feet by 16 feet)  3 standard accessible spaces  3 standard accessible van space  4 clean air spaces  21 electric vehicle spaces The other main surface parking area would be on the north side of the warehouse, as shown on Figure 2-4. This parking area would consist of 59 spaces sized for tractor trailers. Tractor trailer parking spaces would be 10 feet by 53 feet each. In addition to vehicle parking, the proposed project would also provide on-site bicycle parking. A total of 24 bicycle parking spaces would be provided in the vicinity of the office main entrance, including 12 short-term spaces and 12 long-term spaces. 2.5.4 Landscaping Approximately 41,592 square feet of landscaping would be provided throughout the site including along the perimeter of the site to provide screening and a buffer between adjoining properties and land uses as well as in parking islands. No landscaping is proposed on the east side of the warehouse, which faces Carden Street and other commercial and industrial land uses. Instead, the project would include rock mulch at the eastern project site boundary. Where landscaping is installed, it would consist mostly of shrubs, providing either visual accents or screening, depending on planting density. Landscaping would also include new trees. New trees would be planted amongst shrubs along much of the site boundary, but also in landscaped parking islands within the surface parking area designed for passenger vehicles. Trees would also be planted around the proposed driveways on Hester Street, near the surface parking area designed for trailers. Trees would be a mix of conifers and deciduous species. Landscaping shrubs and trees would consist of species native to California. The proposed project would comply with water efficient landscape and would include the planting of species that would be appropriate for the local climate and contribute to conserving outdoor water use. The project would also include bioswale areas to treat stormwater runoff. The bioswales would be planted with a mix of native grasses, low shrubs, and sod. These bioswale areas are described in more detail below in the Utilities section of this project description. 2.5.5 Utilities Potable water service for the project would be provided by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the City of San Leandro potable water service provider. A new water connection would be constructed on site and connect to an existing water main that is beneath the surface of the existing driveway at Doolittle Drive. Generally, the new water connection would be located beneath the new surface parking area on the west side of the proposed warehouse, as shown on Figure 2-7. A new fire hydrant pipeline would also connect to the existing water main in the project area in accordance with City code and requirements.
