1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project (“the Project”) is a public/private partnership between the City of Alameda and the Radium Presents, Inc. for the development of an approximately 600-seat performing arts center and landscaped plaza on an approximately two-acre site of the Seaplane Lagoon Taxiway on the west side of Pan Am Way between the Naval Air Museum and the Seaplane Lagoon Promenade and related offsite improvements within the NAS Alameda Historic District in the City of Alameda.
The R
adium Theatre project will provide a new civic amenity for the City of Alameda on a portion of the taxiway of the former Naval Air Station Alameda. The former taxiway has been identified as a development site by the City of Alameda’s 2014 Alameda Point Town Center and Waterfront Precise Plan and further identified as the proposed location (Blocks 12 and 13) of a performing arts center in the 68-acre Site A Development Plan (2022). The project will include a n approximately 53,000 square-foot performing arts center, a one-acre landscaped outdoor plaza and related off-site Exhibit 4

ASIS FOR STREAMLINING
The
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) allows for streamlin ed environmental review and/or tiering under California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 for projects that “are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified.” (Section 15183(a).)
Se
ction 15183(c) provides that “[i]f an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or the project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, [. . . ] then an additional EIR need not be prepared for the project solely on the basis of that impact.” The
proposed project is eligible for streamlined review under Section 15183 and may rely on the environmental analysis and EIR prepared by the Alameda Point Project EIR (SCH No. 2023012043) for the redevelopment of the subject parcel and surrounding areas, and the subject project shall implement all applicable mitigations from the Alameda Point Mitigation Monitoring and Report Program (MMRP). O nly those impacts that are considered peculiar to the project or project site need be reviewed to determine whether there will be any project -specific significant effects.
Rev
iew of any project-specific impacts is guided by Public Resources Code section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, which provide that “no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report shall be required” unless there are substantial changes proposed in the project or with respect to the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken, “ which will require major revisions of the EIR . . . due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects,” or where there is “[n]ew information of substantial importance.” (Section 15162.) Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 5 of 25
H
ere, none of the conditions for preparation of a subsequent EIR per Section 15162(a) would apply to the proposed project:
1. The proposed project is consistent with the 2021 General Plan, the Alameda Municipal Code (AMC) and Alameda Point Zoning District regulations. The environmental impacts of these plans were adequately considered in the 2021 General Plan EIR and 2014 Alameda Point EIR.
2. The proposed Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center development does not involve substantial changes that would require major revisions to the 2014 A lameda Point EIR or the 2021 General Plan E IR. The 2021 GP EIR analyzed the environmental impacts of adding up to 5,000 new jobs and over 1,480 new housing units between 2023 and 2031 at Alameda Point. The proposed project is part of the development anticipated in these two EIRs, the Town Center and Waterfront Precise Plan, and Site A Development Plan.
3. There are no substantial changes in the circumstances of the project. The existing conditions at Alameda Point and the subject two acres are consistent with the conditions that existed at the time of the 2021 General Plan EIR and the 2014 Alameda Point EIR. No new significant environmental effects or substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects would result from the proposed development of the project site, as outlined in the Environmental Checklist below.
4. The project will be required to implement all applicable mitigation measures from the 2014 Alameda Point EIR and 2021 General Plan EIR to mitigate potential significant impacts associated with the development.
5. There is no new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known at the time of preparation of the Alameda Point EIR, which was certified on February 4, 2014, or the GP EIR, which was certified on November 30, 2021. As outlined in the Environmental Checklist below, the project would not have more significant effects, or significant effects that are substantially more severe than shown in the Alameda Point EIR or GP EIR. No mitigation measure or alternatives identified in the Alameda Point EIR that are found to be infeasible would be feasible, nor are considerably different mitigations or alternatives available that would substantially reduce significant effects.
The attached Checklist evaluates the potential project -specific environmental effects of the proposed project and evaluates whether such impacts were adequately covered by the A lameda Point EIR and/or the GP EIR , consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183. This Checklist hereby incorporates by reference the Alameda Point EIR and General Plan EIR analysis of all potential environmental impact topics, including all background information it contains regarding the environmental setting of the Alameda Point project. The Alameda Point EIR and General Plan EIR are available for review at the offices of the Planning, Building and Transportation Department located at 2263 Santa Clara Avenue. In addition, electronic copies of the Alameda Point EIR and General Plan EIR are available on the City’s website at:
https://www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/Base-Reuse-Alameda-Point and http://alameda2040.org/document-library.
3.0. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 6 of 25
This Checklist compares the potential environmental impacts that may result from implementation of
the proposed project to the effects previously identified for the Alameda Point project’s Development Program (including the project site), to determine whether the proposed project’s environmental impacts were adequately addressed in the Alameda Point EIR and the General Plan EIR per CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15183, as described under Section 2.0, above.
The checkboxes in the Checklist indicate whether the proposed project would result in environmental impacts, as described below:
• Equal or Less Severity of Impact than Previously Identified in the Alameda Point EIR or GP EIR – The severity of the specific impact of the proposed project would be the same as or less than the severity of the specific impact described in the Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR.
• Substantial Increase in Severity of Previously Identified Significant Impact in the Alameda Point EIR or GP EIR – The proposed project’s specific impact would be substantially greater than the specific impact described in the Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR.
• New Significant Impact – The proposed project would result in a new significant impact that was not previously identified in the Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR.
Where the severity of the impacts of the proposed project would be the same as or less than the severity of the impacts described in the Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR, the checkbox for Equal or Less Severity of Impact Previously Identified in Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR is checked. Where the checkbox for Substantial Increase in Severity of Previously Identified Significant Impact in Alameda Point EIR and/or in the General Plan EIR or New Significant Impact is checked, there are significant impacts that may be:
• Peculiar to the project or project site (CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b)(3)); • Not analyzed as significant impacts in the previous EIR, including off-site and cumulative impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b)(2));
• Due to substantial changes in the project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1)); • Due to substantial changes in circumstances under which the project will be undertaken (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(2)); or
• Due to substantial new information not known at the time the EIR was certified (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(3) and 15183(b)(4)).
This Checklist hereby incorporates by reference the Alameda Point EIR and General Plan EIR discussion and analysis of all potential environmental impact topics; only those environmental topics that could have a potential project -specific environmental impact are included. The EIR significance criteria have been consolidated and abbreviated in this Checklist for administrative purposes; a complete list of the significance criteria can be found in the Alameda Point EIR. The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review
discussions of previous EIR findings throughout the Checklist focus on the findings of the A
lameda Point EIR but, where appropriate, relevant information and findings from the General Plan EIR is also presented.

1 The Alameda Point EIR also included an analysis of potential transportation and circulation impacts based on criteria recommended by the City of Alameda Transportation Commission, the City of Oakland CEQA thresholds (for intersections in Oakland), Caltrans (for freeway segments and ramps), and the Alameda County Transportation Commission (for Congestion Management Program roadway segments).
Although these specific criteria are not listed here, the discussion below reflects the results of this analysis. Please refer to the APP EIR for these specific criteria.
The proposed Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project is consistent with the redevelopment policies and redevelopment requirements of the Alameda General Plan and Alameda Municipal Code, the Town Center Plan and the Site A Development Plan, and the land use and development assumptions analyzed in the 2014 Alameda Point Project EIR and 2021 General Plan EIR.
There are no changes to the project design or land use program for the property or the circumstances under which the project is to be undertaken that would require revisions of the EIRs due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. There is also no new information of substantial importance that was not known at the time of the 2021 General Plan EIR.
The 2021 General Plan EIR determined that the redevelopment of Alameda Point consistent with General Plan growth assumptions for Alameda Point over the next 20 years would not result in a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) impacts. The General Plan EIR evaluated the VMT projected under 2040 General Plan buildout conditions; this analysis assumed that the majority of the City’s household and employment growth would occur in the Alameda Point and Northern Waterfront Priority Development Areas (PDAs) identified in P lan Bay Area, the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy for the San Francisco Bay Area. The analysis determined that the average household VMT per capita is projected to decline by about 3 percent below the 2020 baseline, which would be at least 15 percent below the average Bay Area regional household VMT per capita, the applicable threshold of significance.
T
he EIR identified numerous General Plan policies that would directly or indirectly result in the reduction of VMT, including policies ME-13, ME-14, ME-16, ME-17, ME-20, ME-22, LU-2, LU- 3, LU-16, LU-34, CC-7, CC-8, CC-9, CC-10, and CC-11. The proposed project is consistent with the project evaluated in the General Plan EIR . Therefore, the project’s VMT impact has been previously evaluated and disclosed, and the project would not increase the severity of the impact.
Furthermore, t he project will be required to participate in the Alameda Point Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program to meet the mobility needs of employees, which would further reduce project-generated VMT.
The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project will be required to implement the relevant Mitigation Measures , 4.C- 1 related to construction traffic and 4.C- 2a related to TDM Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 10 of 25

The proposed project site is within the Seaplane Hangars district of the NAS Alameda Historic District. The designed landscape is a contributor to the historic district. Independent, expert analysis from Architectural Resources Group demonstrates that the proposed project would not have a negative effect on the historic district. The proposed land uses, building types, heights, and massing for the Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project would be consistent with the development standards and design guidelines in the Alameda General Plan, Alameda Municipal Code, and NAS Alameda Historic District Operations Area c haracter defining f eatures as described in the Guide to Preserving the Character of the Naval Air Station Alameda Historic District, as amended, and NAS Alameda National Register Nomination . The proposed project is also consistent with the Historic Distric t Infill Guidelines of the Town Center and Waterfront Precise Plan, including maintenance of Building 77’s visual relationship to Seaplane Lagoon with a minimum 40-foot view corridor and limiting development on either side to 50 feet in height.
The Alameda Point Project EIR and MMRP requires projects that propose alterations to character defining features of the historic district obtain a Certificate of Approval and requires that any construction of a new building be reviewed for conformance with adopted guidelines for New Infill Development within the NAS Historic District. The EIR also concluded that certain impacts, such as those related to new development, would likely be significant and unavoidable, and that those impacts would be acceptable due to overriding considerations. Due to the unique circumstance of intended largescale redevelopment at Alameda Point, the EIR recognizes that pure preservation in untenable and that some individual contributors, features, and sites will likely be impacted by adjacent development, substantial alterations, and in some cases, demolition, and thus Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 11 of 25
the historic review process instead focuses , for the most part , on consistency with broader area- wide preservation goals, such as specific view corridors, compatible architecture, and orthogonal layouts, among others, and it provides alternative mitigation in cases w here historic impacts are unavoidable, such as recording affected contributors through photography.
Based on the records search performed as part of the Alameda Point EIR cultural resources analysis (which included a 0.5-mile radius around the project area), there are no known archaeological or paleontological resources in the project area (including the Radium Theatre project site), and no indication that the project area has been used for burial purposes, as it is composed of bay fill placed around 1940.
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, General Plan EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the Radium Theatre project site would not substantially increase the severity of the significant cultural and paleontological resources impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant cultural and paleontological resources impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR.
Mitigation measures 4.D- 1a related to obtaining a Certificate of Approval and 4.D- 2, 3, and 4 related to inadvertent discovery of buried resources would apply.

The project s ite is an underutilized two-acre urban site surrounded by urban development. The property is not within close proximity of the California least tern nesting colony at Alameda Point, and the project does not require any work on submerged lands or in wetland areas. The proposed land uses, building types, heights, and massing for the Radium Theatre project would be consistent with the development standards and design guidelines in the Alameda General Plan and Alameda Municipal Code, the Town Center Plan and the Site A Development Plan.
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the proposed Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project would not substantially increase the severity of the less -than-significant biological resources impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant biological impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR. There is also no new information of substantial importance related to biological resources on the site that was not known at the time of the 2021 General Plan EIR. The project would be required to implement mitigation measures from the Alameda Point MMRP including 4.E -3b relating to stormwater management during construction.

The proposed Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project is designed to implement the General Plan, Town Center Plan, and Conservation and Climate Change Element policies to place higher density, mixed use development within walking distance of transit lines and ferry terminals to reduce greenhouse gas and air quality impacts resulting from transportation.
T
he 2021 General Plan EIR determined that 10,000-12,000 new jobs expected to be created in Alameda by 2040 would not result in significant Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) impacts. The General Plan EIR assumed that a large portion of the new jobs will be located at Alameda Point .
General Plan policy LU-8 (Arts and Culture) supports and promotes a diversity of arts and cultural facilities and programs throughout the city for people of all ages. General Plan policy LU -9 (On Island Goods and Services) encourages development of a broad range of businesses and services in Alameda to reduce the need to travel off -island. General Plan policy LU -19 (Alameda Point Waterfront and Town Center Mixed Use District) calls for creation of a vibrant mixed- use waterfront to catalyze a transformation of Alameda Point consistent with the Waterfront and Town Center Precise Plan.
T
he General Plan EIR evaluated the VMT projected under 2040 General Plan buildout conditions; this analysis assumed that the majority of the City’s household and employment growth would occur in the Alameda Point and Northern Waterfront Priority Development Areas (PDAs) identified in Plan Bay Area, the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy for the San Francisco Bay Area. The analysis determined that the average household VMT per capita is projected to decline by about 3 percent below the 2020 baseline, which would be at least 15 percent below the average Bay Area regional household VMT per capita, the applicable threshold of significance.
T
he EIR identified numerous General Plan policies that would directly or indirectly result in the reduction of VMT, including policies ME-13, ME-14, ME-16, ME-17, ME-20, ME-22, LU-2, LU- 3, LU-16, LU-34, CC-7, CC-8, CC-9, CC-10, and CC-11,. The proposed project is consistent with Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 14 of 25
the project evaluated in the General Plan EIR . Therefore, the project’s VMT impact has been previously evaluated and disclosed, and the project would not increase the severity of the impact.
Furthermore, t he project will be required to participate in the Alameda Point Transportation Demand Management Program to meet the mobility needs of employees, which would further reduce project-generated VMT.
There are no changes to the project design or land use program for the property or the circumstances under which the project is to be undertaken that would require revisions of the EIR due to new significant air quality environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified air quality significant effects. There is also no new information of substantial importance that was not known at the time of the 2021 General Plan EIR.
The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project will be required to implement the relevant Mitigation Measures from the Alameda Point Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted for all Alameda Point projects in 2014, including: 4.F-1a and b relating to management of construction dust and exhaust ; and, 4.F-2, which includes implementation of a Transportation Demand Management Program and green building techniques.
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the proposed project would not substantially increase the severity of significant air quality or greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts identified in the General Plan EIR or the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant air quality or GHG impacts that were not identified in the previous EIRs.

☒ ☐ ☐
Existing noise levels at the site have not changed since the 2021 General Plan EIR was completed and the anticipated noise resulting from construction was anticipated in the Alameda Point EIR and mitigation measures were adopted to reduce impacts to the extent possible at Alameda Point. The theater project would be operated primarily indoors with substantial soundproofing, so no noise is expected to be generated in the surrounding community other than local traffic and outdoor activity.
There are no new circumstances or changes to the project that would require revisions to either of the prior EIRs.
B
ased on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, development of the project would not substantially increase the severity of significant noise impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant noise impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR. The project would be required to implement the mitigation measures from the Alameda Point EIR, including 4.G -1a, b, c and d relating to construction noise management.

The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center site is relatively flat, with very little topographical relief, and is therefore not susceptible to landslides. It is not within 50 feet of the shoreline and is not considered to have static slope stability issues. However, the project site is underlain by artificial fill and Bay Mud, which is generally susceptible to subsidence or settlement. Subsidence related to consolidation of Bay Mud beneath fill and foundation settlement, and directly related to site-specific structural building loads, could affect the development of the project. In addition, the site is in an area of high seismic activity, like most of the Bay Area.
The Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center project will be required to implement the relevant Mitigation Measures from the Alameda Point Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted for all Alameda Point projects in 2014 including 4.H-1, 2, 4 and 5 addressing earthquake and other soil related risks.
B
ased on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the project would not substantially increase the severity of significant geology, soils, or seismicity impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant geology, soils, or seismicity impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR.

s described in the Master Infrastructure Plan (MIP), the elevation on Alameda Point ranges from 1 foot to 8 feet above sea level with areas near the Oakland Inner Harbor and extending south along Main Street and onto the project site that are in the 100- year tide zone, and that are therefore vulnerable to flooding. Much of the rest of Alameda Point is also within the 100- year tide zone.
In addition, some areas, including north of Seaplane Lagoon and on the east side of the project site are also in the 100 -year tide, plus 24- inch sea-rise zone, and are therefore also vulnerable. The project would be required to implement flood and sea-level rise protection improvements that are consistent with the requirements established in the MIP, described under Project Description, above, which would provide protection for up to 24 inches of future sea -level rise. This level of protection would exceed the level of protection required per the Alameda Point EIR, which was Radium Theatre Performing Arts Center Project Environmental Checklist for Streamlined Review P age 18 of 25
for 18 inches of future sea - l evel rise. In addition, the project will comply with any applicable provisions of the City’s generally applicable Floodplain Management Ordinance (AMC Ch. XX).
T
he proposed project would involve construction of new buildings, new streets, and all necessary infrastructure. These activities are within the scope of the project evaluated in the Alameda Point EIR. The new utilities —including storm drains, flood, and sea -level–rise protection —and implementation of Low- Impact Development in compliance with Provision C.3 of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit would reduce impacts to water quality.
B
ased on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the proposed project would not substantially increase the severity of significant hydrology and water quality impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant hydrology and water quality impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR. The project would be required to implement mitigation measures 4.i-1, 2 6 and 8 relating to groundwater management, landscaping, storm drainage, and flood control.

The U.S. Navy has been undertaking “necessary measures to meet the requirements and notifications for hazardous substances, petroleum products, and other regulated materials necessary for an environmentally suitable transfer of the site to the City of Alameda.” These measures have included a process to “identify, analyze, and clean up any releases of hazardous materials and wastes associated with past Navy operations.” These measures and activities will continue after transfer of the former NAS Alameda to the City of Alameda, until regulatory closure is received.
A Finding of Suitability to Transfer (FOST) for the project site was completed on February 13, 2013; it covers a large portion of Alameda Point, and addresses areas of the former base outside of the FOST area, including most of the project site . As designated under the Department of Defense’s Installation Restoration ( IR) Program (an initiative to identify, investigate, and clean up hazardous waste sites on former military bases), the project s ite includes a portion of IR 6 west of Building 41.R emediation of th is site is underway in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) Program, and / or in accordance with an integrated approach based on both laws.
The Radium Theatre site is subject to the City of Alameda’s Marsh Crust Ordinance (City of Alameda General Ordinance No. 2824), which requires notification and permit requirements for excavations that may encounter a layer of deposits that commonly contain petroleum - related substances. The Marsh Crust Ordinance applies to excavations deeper than 5 feet in nearly all areas of the project site; in the southeast corner of the site, it applies to excavations deeper than the mean higher high tide.
Site disturbance could disturb or release contaminated soil and/or groundwater, exposing construction workers, the public or the environment to hazardous materials. Numerous requirements described in the Alameda Point EIR for protecting people and the environment, including a Site Management Plan, that must be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and the RWQCB, and included in construction specifications, would address impacts.
As described in the Alameda Point EIR, with the continued remediation efforts currently being conducted by the Navy and any that would be assumed by the City as overseen by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control or the RWQCB —combined with the City’s tracking system, continued compliance with deed restrictions, implementation of Site Management Plans, mitigation measures, and other permit requirements (including adherence to the Marsh Crust Ordinance) —the potential for residual contamination to significantly impact residents, employees, or the general public would be minimized, and is considered less than significant with mitigation. In addition, the proposed land uses and densities for the site are consistent with the Town Center Plan and the redevelopment of Alameda Point evaluated in the Alameda Point EIR. Mitigation Measures 4.J-2, and 4.J-7 would apply to the project.
Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the proposed project would not substantially increase the severity of significant Hazards or Hazardous Materials impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant Hazards or Hazardous Materials impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR.

☒ ☐ ☐
There are no design elements or changes to the surrounding urban environment that result in a new or more severe aesthetics impact than was identified in the Alameda Point and General Plan EIRs, both of which determined that no aesthetic impact would occur as the result of development at Alameda Point if existing regulations and mitigation measures are implemented.
All development would be subject to review pursuant the City of Alameda’s Historic Preservation Ordinance, AMC 13-21.5 and Design Review pursuant to the City of Alameda’s General Plan polices and Design Review Ordinance, Sections 30-36 and 30-37. According to the Alameda Point EIR, implementation of the planning and design controls included in the Alameda Point project, and as required by Sections 30-36 and 30-37 would result in less than significant impacts . Aesthetic impacts related specifically to historic resources and character are considered in Section 4 of this Checklist and briefly discussed below.
As part of the project review, independent expert analysis of the potential impacts of the Radium Theatre projects impact character defining features of the NAS Alameda Historic District has been provided by Architectural Resources Group (ARG). ARG studied the project’s impact on the character defining views of the historic district and found that the project has limited effect on historic views and protects the character defining views, in compliance with Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitatio n and the NAS Alameda Historic District adopted design guidelines for infill development.
The proposed project substantially conforms to the development of the site that was envisioned in the Alameda Point EIR, which evaluated the aesthetic impacts of development in this area, and is consistent with the Site A development plan. The project would not substantially increase the severity of significant aesthetics impacts identified in the Alameda Point EIR, nor would it result in new significant aesthetics impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR. Mitigation measure 4.K-4 relating to lighting controls would apply.

physical effect on the environment.
☒ ☐ ☐
The proposed Radium Theatre project will provide a new civic amenity for the City of Alameda and include a one -acre landscaped plaza with public access effectively expanding the adjacent Seaplane Promenade park . The site is also served bv new infrastructure in Pan Am Way and will extend utilities and roadways into the site consistent with the Master Infrastructure Plan (MIP). Therefore, the demand for public services as the result of the project is not expected to change significantly.
The
2021 General Plan EIR anticipated that 10,000- 12,000 new jobs were expected to be created in Alameda by 2040 . The General Plan EIR assumed that a large portion of the new jobs will be located at Alameda Point. General Plan policy LU-8 (Arts and Culture) supports and promotes a diversity of arts and cultural facilities and programs throughout the city for people of all ages. General Plan policy LU -9 (On Island Goods and Services) enourages development of a broad range of businesses and services in Alameda to reduce the need to travel off-island. General Plan policy LU -19 (Alameda Point Waterfront and Town Center Mixed Use District) calls for creation of a vibrant mixed -use waterfront to catalyze a transformation of Alameda Point consistent with the Waterf ront and Town Center Precise Plan.

The
proposed Radium Theatre project is consistent with the Site A development plan and the development assumptions in the Alameda Point EIR and would implement the General Plan policies and objectives; the 2021 General Plan EIR anticipated that 10,000- 12,000 new jobs were expected to be created in Alameda by 2040. The General Plan EIR assumed that a large
086762\16621029v6
portion of the new jobs will be located at Alameda Point. General Plan policy LU-8 (Arts and Culture) supports and promotes a diversity of arts and cultural facilities and programs throughout the city for people of all ages. General Plan policy LU -9 (On Island Goods and Services) encourages development of a broad range of businesses and services in Alameda to reduce the need to travel off -island. General Plan policy LU-19 (Alameda Point Waterfront and Town Center Mixed Use District) calls for creation of a vibrant mixed-use waterfront to catalyze a transformation of Alameda Point consistent with the Waterfront and Town Center Precise Plan.
Both EIRs concluded that there would be no significant impacts to utilities and service systems after compliance with applicable development regulations, or that impacts would be mitigated with solid waste management plans . Based on an examination of the analysis, findings, and conclusions of the Alameda Point EIR, and on the discussion above, development of the project would not substantially increase the severity of impacts to utilities and service systems identified in the Alameda Point EIR or General Plan EIR, nor would it result in new significant utilities and service systems impacts that were not identified in the Alameda Point EIR or General Plan EIR. Mitigation measure 4.M-5 relating to solid waste management would apply.
