Development within the DTPP area has already been contemplated in, and is consistent with, adopted plans <br /> (particularly the Redwood City General Plan) and the environmental documents prepared for those plans, and such <br /> development will not represent growth for which adequate planning has not occurred. No significant adverse <br /> growth- inducing impacts were anticipated from the DTPP or individual development projects occurring consistent <br /> with the DTPP. Moreover, the City's General Plan has identified the Downtown as an appropriate area of the city <br /> to accommodate future growth due to its walkable nature, transit access, and existing infrastructure. In addition, <br /> Downtown has been designated by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as a "Priority Development <br /> Area" and will be encouraged to accommodate growth as part of the regional Sustainable Communities Strategy for <br /> reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, <br /> and as a result, no additional population /housing impacts are anticipated. <br /> b. & c. The DTPP program EIR (pp. 5 -8 through 5 -10) concluded that the DTPP, and projects facilitated by it, would <br /> not result in significant displacement impacts. Furthermore, the residential buildings on the project site are vacant <br /> (they once included a total of 23 units), and the project proposes 175 new residential units, for a net gain of 152 <br /> residential units. No need for replacement housing would be necessitated by the project, and no impacts are <br /> expected. <br /> Summary of Impacts <br /> Potentially Less than Significant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Significant No <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> • <br /> HIV.
