7.D. - Page 47 of 126 Impact 4.8-2: Development allowable under the General Plan Less than would not substantially increase impervious surfaces in the plan significant area and would not result in considerable interference with groundwater recharge. The proposed project would increase density and intensity of development within the MULW district, which could increase impervious surfaces in the General Plan area above levels previously analyzed in the Final EIR and 2013 Addendum to the Final EIR. However, as described in Section 2, Project Description above, the MULW zoning district covers 30 blocks totaling approximately 37 acres. Furthermore, Table 1 shows that the proposed project would incentivize increased building heights, resulting in no change to FAR compared to that analyzed in the Final EIR. No changes to existing General Plan policies and implementation programs are proposed. Thus, although the proposed project involves intensification of development, limited land area would be affected and building standards are included in the proposed zoning ordinance amendment. Environmental Analysis Similar to the conclusions in the General Plan EIR, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts to groundwater recharge. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR.
