sites were are -added in, the potential for development rose rises significantly. A survey of sites conducted as part of the General Plan Update identified another 2 million square feet of potential new industrial floor space and over 600,000 square feet of potential new retail and office floor space on underused sites. Commercial capacity increased in 2007 when the TOD strategy was adopted for Downtown and the BART station area and allowable floor area ratios were increased. • .. . .. . • .. . • . :. • - ' - - - : •• •• - • • • : • . • . .

[remainder of paragraph unchanged].... The General Plan Environmental Impact Report is predicated on certain assumptions about future household and employment growth. It assumes a gain of 1.470 households by the horizon year of the Plan. At 2.62 persons per household. this would bring the City's household population to just over 84,000 and its total population (including persons in group quarters) to almost 85,000. The 2007 TOD Strategy and subsequent rezoning increased the City's capacity for growth, but that does not necessarily mean the General Plan population and household estimates will be exceeded by 2015. The TOD Strategy has a buildout horizon of 20 to 30 years and most of the 3,431 housing units it accommodates will develop after 2 015. The General Plan employment forecasts are more aggressive than the ABAG projections.

This presumes that the City will capture a larger share of the region's economic growth than ABAG is anticipating. Table 2 -I presents a summary of the forecasts used in this General Plan. Adoption of the TOD Strategy in 2007 increased citywide growth potential to a level that exceeds these figures. However, "build out" of the TOD area is not expected until 2030, whereas the General Plan horizon is 2015. The longer -term growth projected in the TOD area was evaluated in a separate Environmental Impact Report certified in 2007. P. 3 -7.
