The <br />project would not directly involve construction of these facilities, <br />if needed. <br />There would be no change in the total square feet of commercial <br />space allowed in the MULW zoning district. Population growth <br />resulting from residential development under the proposed <br />project would increase demand for municipal facilities. However, <br />this increased demand would be minor, and no changes to <br />existing General Plan policies would occur. <br />Population growth resulting from residential development <br />Similar to the conclusions in <br />allowed under the proposed project would increase demand for <br />the General Plan EIR, the <br />water supply above levels previously analyzed by the Final EIR. <br />proposed project would <br />However, as discussed in Section 2, Project Description, <br />result in a significant <br />population growth under the proposed project represents only <br />unavoidable impact to <br />1.4 percent increase above existing levels.
