From 2015 to 2040, it is forecast that the city will add 14,790 residents, <br />5,370 households, and 12,130 jobs (San Leandro 2016f). <br />Table 12 City of San Leandro General Plan Population, Housing, and Jobs Projections <br /> 2015 2040 2015-2040 Growth <br />Population 84,950 101,250 14,790 (17%) <br />Households 31,315 36,685 5,370 (17%) <br />Jobs 42,865 54,995 12,130 (28%) <br />Source: San Leandro 2016f.

Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, <br />by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads <br />or other infrastructure)? <br />The project includes the demolition of three warehouses currently onsite and the construction of an <br />approximately 160,000-square-foot building. The project does not include housing. Implementation <br />of the project would not affect residential growth and would not directly add residents to the city of <br />San Leandro. <br />The project would introduce additional employees to the area. Regional or local employment <br />generation rates were not available. Therefore, a study for the Southern California Association of <br />Governments estimating employment densities for various land uses was utilized to estimate the <br />368
