Both Appellants submitted <br />written statements in support of their positions (attached). Although the statements and reasons <br />for their appeal differ, both parties have requested the City Council reject the Board of Zoning <br />Adjustments’ adopted environmental determination for the Project and return the item to have an <br />environmental impact report prepared. Staff reviewed the two appeals and found them to lack <br />merit for the reasons identified in this report and the attached resolution with findings. <br />No new information was presented in either appeal that meets the substantial evidence test to <br />require additional analysis through an EIR. Staff recommends that the City Council deny the <br />appeals and uphold the decision of the Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA) by adopting a <br />resolution affirming the BZA decision. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/1/2021 <br />51
