a. Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? TZC EIR Conclusions • Implementation of the proposed project would accommodate projected population and housing growth. (Impact 4.9-1: Less Than Significant without mitigation) • Construction of development projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 8413) could displace existing people or housing. However, this displacement would not necessitate the construction of additional replacement housing elsewhere. (Impact 4.9-2: Less Than Significant without mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures All impacts were below the level of significance and mitigation measures are not necessary nor recommended. Project Analysis and Conclusion The City determined that impacts related to accommodating population and housing growth Impact 4.9-1) and displacement of existing housing (Impact 4.9-2) were below the level of significance and did not require mitigation. Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be subject to a project -level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project. The proposed adoption of the text regulations identified in Table 1 — Current and Proposed Text Regulations would not require development of housing units. The new regulations would provide architectural standards to any future development that would regulate the manner in which individual parcels and blocks are developed to create diverse and pedestrian -oriented development that would be consistent with the TZC area. In addition, there shall be no increase in the number of dwelling units unless the site on which the structure is located complies with the off-street parking and open space requirements of the SAMC. Therefore, the existing less than significant population, housing and employment impacts would not result in new or different impacts nor would it increase unplanned growth and does not trigger new population and housing impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR. 5.10 PUBLIC SERVICES This section analyzes the effects to public services and recreational and park facilities from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations.
