POTENTIALLY ISSUES POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT .. MAN NO SIGNIFICANT UNLESS SIGNIFICANT INIPACT SOURCES ISSUES NIITIGATION IMPACT INCORPORATED .AND USE AND PLANNING. Would theproject: :; ... .................. . Physically divide an established community? x--7 2 b. Conflict with any applicable land use plan, X 2 policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? C. Conflict with any applicable habitat X 2,13 conservation plan or natural community conservationplan? EXPLANATION: The project site is a "No Change" area as indicated in the General Plan. However, the General Plan states that these areas were not envisioned to remain entirely static. It was anticipated that a range of proposals to replace, renew or modify existing development would occur. Preda Street includes a mixture of older, single-family residences (towards Davis Street) and newer single-family homes (just south of the project site), interspersed with older light industrial buildings. The existing industrial uses along Preda Street include a tool and die company adjacent to the south, and a wood cabinet manufacturing business further to the sound, off of Phoenix Street. The applicant has applied for a zone change from IL -Industrial Limited District to RS-Single Family Residential with a PD-Planned Development overlay. This rezone would facilitate the proposed residential development. It should be noted that other properties in the project area have been recently rezoned from IL to RS and developed with single-family homes. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with past policy direction and would eliminate potential land use conflicts. No impacts related to land use plans or conflicts with existing land uses are anticipated. In addition, because the proposed project is adjacent to newer single-family residential uses and would replace older/abandoned industrial uses, development of the project would not result in a physical division of the established community. There are no habitat conservation plans in place in either the General Plan or Zoning Code. The General Plan includes policies that limit the extent of development that may occur within proximity to San Leandro Creek, which this project is abiding by. Therefore no impacts to habitat/conservation plans are cipated. ..- POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the'project: a. Induce substantial population growth in an area X 2 either directly (e.g., by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (e.g. through projects in an undeveloped area or major infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial number of existing X 2 housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? C. Displace substantial numbers of people, X 2,13 necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? EXPLANATION: The project site and area are already served by existing utility systems and public services. The applicant is proposing subdivision of the property, which would allow for the construction of 70 single-family residences. This development is considered a re -use of properties already existing within an urban context. Therefore, given the size of the development, potential impacts related to population growth are considered less than significant. No existing housing exists on the project site, and previous industrial uses are no longer in existence, therefore no impacts related to displacement of housing units or people are anticipated. 3.
