The proposed Fashion Square Commercial Center project combined <br />with cumulative projects could potentially generate 24,863 new employ- <br />ment opportunities. The population growth and increased housing demands <br />resulting from those employment opportunities will be of lesser <br />!a magnitude because of the existing labor market both in the City of Santa <br />Ana and in the surrounding communities. That labor market has the <br />capacity to provide most of the low skilled employment needs anticipated <br />frp, both the proposed project and cumulative projects. Housing <br />difficulties will be more evident for those employees in higher income <br />�- occupations who wish to move into Santa Ana or nearby communities. <br />'�. 5.11.3 Mitigation Measures <br />No mitigation measures are proposed. <br />5.11.4 Significant Environmental Effects <br />Even though most of the job opportunities created by the <br />L project will be filled by persons already residing in the area, the <br />project will result in some increase in the demand for housing. Some of <br />�. the new employees will be persons residing a considerable distance from <br />the project who will desire to more into Santa Ana or other neighboring <br />communities in order to shorten their commuting distance. By <br />contributing to the general demand for housing in the area, such persons <br />will add somewhat to the existing housing market problems, such as the <br />difficulties of finding affordable housing and upward pressures on <br />housing costs. <br />I� <br />75D-31 5 <br />
