116 Prior EIR Determination Effect Peculiar to Project Site? New Significant Effect? New Significant Off-Site, Cumulative Impact? New Information, More Severe Adverse Impact? DTPP EIR DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments SEIR Focused GPU EIR XIV. POPULATION AND HOUSING – Would the project: a) Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? LTS LTS LTS No No No No b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? LTS LTS LTS No No No No Documentation: Commercial Component: a. Development within the DTPP area has already been contemplated in, and is consistent with, adopted plans (particularly the Redwood City General Plan) and the environmental documents prepared for those plans, and such development will not represent growth for which adequate planning has not occurred. No significant adverse growth- inducing impacts were anticipated from the DTPP or individual development projects occurring consistent with the DTPP (see DTPP EIR Chapter 5, Population and Housing). In addition, the City’s General Plan has identified the Downtown as an appropriate area of the city to accommodate future growth due to its walkable nature, transit access, and existing infrastructure. Moreover, Downtown has been designated by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as a “Priority Development Area” and will be encouraged to accommodate growth as part of the regional Sustainable Communities Strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 5-8 through 5-13) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion with respect to DTPP development but included additional analysis pertaining to future citywide development and projected increases in population and housing associated with subsequent other proposed development projects, including those facilitated by the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR analysis also explained that the City’s development growth projections, including the future population, employment, and housing projections, would be consistent the City’s 2010 General Plan and regional planning (Plan Bay Area 2050). The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR concluded this impact would be less than significant both for direct population growth and induced unplanned population growth. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 5-8 through 5-13) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion with respect to DTPP development but included additional analysis pertaining to future citywide development and projected increases in population and housing associated with subsequent other proposed development projects, including those facilitated by the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR analysis also explained that the City’s development growth projections, including the future population, employment, and housing projections, would be consistent the City’s adopted General Plan and published regional planning documents (e.g., Plan Bay Area 2050). The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR concluded this impact would be less than significant. The proposed Commercial Component is in compliance with all applicable DTPP standards relevant to population growth and, as a result, no additional population/housing impacts are anticipated (see “Housing Component” below for discussion of the residential component of the overall project). Therefore, the project component would not result in new or more severe impacts with respect to population growth than identified in the EIR/SEIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. b. The DTPP program EIR (pp. 5-8 through 5-10) concluded that the DTPP, and projects facilitated by it, would not result in significant housing displacement impacts. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 5-13 through 5-15) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion and both found the impact to potential direct and indirect displacement to be less than significant. There are no residences at the Commercial Component site (as discussed in the Project Description, item #8, above) so no housing displacement impacts would occur and replacement housing would not be necessitated.
