IMPACT <br />WILL THE PROJECT: t.essThan <br /> Potentially Significant Less Than <br /> Cumulative Significant With Significant No Source <br /> Impact Mitigation Impact Impact <br /> Incorporation <br />XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING: <br />a) Induce substantial population growth in an <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />® <br />~ 2, ~ ~ , <br />area, either directly (for example, by ~ 2 <br />proposing new homes and businesses) or <br />indirectly (for example, through extension <br />of roads or other infrastructure)? <br />b) Displace substantial numbers of existing ~ ~ ~ ® ~ 2, ~ 1, <br />housing, necessitating the construction of ~ 2 <br />replacement housing elsewhere? <br />c) Displace substantial numbers of people, ~ ~ ~ ® ~ 2,1 ~, <br />necessitating the construction of ~ 2 <br />replacement housing elsewhere? <br />Discussion: <br />XII(a): Several action programs in the Housing Element are intended to, facilitate housing production during the fair share <br />allocation period (e.g., 1999-2006). These include improving access to the Union Pacific Railyards site, continuing storm <br />drainage improvements in the Midtown area, establishing sewer service to the Trade Zone Boulevard site, and constructing road <br />and transit improvements to maintain acceptable levels of service at local intersections. Moreover, the actions to "market" the <br />Midtown residential sites, subsidize development fees for affordable housing projects, and direct redevelopment set-aside funds <br />to new housing development, could all induce housing development during the next four years. These aie desired outcomes of <br />the Housing Element and should be regarded as positive environmental impacts. <br />The household growth accommodated by the Element is already projected to occur. The Element itself would not alter <br />population and housing projections for the City. <br />XII(b): The Housing Element contemplates the possibility of redeveloping the 7.9-acre Selwyn Drive area with high density <br />housing. The area is currently developed with medium-density fourplexes, some in need of repair or rehabilitation. If the area <br />were to be redeveloped, there would be a net gain of up to 60 units. Replacement housing for current residents would be <br />included as part of the redevelopment plans; however, no action is proposed by the Housing Element at this time and the site is <br />identified only for future study. <br />XII(e): The Housing Element includes an implementing policy which would require replacement housing for any code <br />enforcement activity which caused a household to be displaced. This would lessen the potential for displacement impacts in the <br />future and would be a positive impact of the Housing Element. <br />Initial Study* San Leandro Housing Element Update* Page 20 November 12, 2002 <br />
