accommodate the projected growth increases. Additionally, due to the fact that the City's population is forecasted to grow at a slower rate than the County and SCAG Region, the forecasted project -related direct and indirect population growth in the City is not considered substantial relative to the surrounding areas. As such, this impact was determined to be less than significant. Displace Housing or People The Certified EIR stated the Overlay Zone is developed with commercial and office uses. Because no residential uses are located within the overlay zone boundaries, implementation of the Overlay Zone would not require the demolition of any existing housing and construction of replacement housing would not be necessary. Rather, implementation of the Overlay Zone would permit residential uses in an area that prohibits these uses. Consequently, no impact would occur. Mitigation Measures None required or identified. 4.14.2 Does the Project propose changes that would result in new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions of the Certified EIR? The Project includes the demolition and removal of all existing improvements from the Project Site and development of the site with a mixed -use development including up to 507 residential dwelling units, approximately 26,800 square feet of commercial uses, and associated parking, utility infrastructure, landscaping, and open space, all of which is allowed under the Overlay Zone, and is consistent with the Overlay Zone standards. The Project does not include any development that would extend beyond the building envelope considered in the Certified EIR, and no changes are proposed to the Overlay Zone to accommodate the Project. Therefore, the Project's housing and population generation would be consistent with that identified in the Certified EIR. Thus, the Project would not result in any new or increased significant impacts related to unplanned growth beyond impacts already identified in the Certified EIR. There is no housing on the Project Site. As such, the Project would not displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere, and no impacts related to this issue would occur. 4.14.3 Any substantial changes in circumstances involving new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions of the Certified EIR? No substantial changes in the circumstances related to population and housing have occurred within the vicinity of the Project since the certification of the Certified EIR that would result in new or more severe significant environmental impacts.
