City of Santa Ana <br />Environmental Checklist <br />XIII. Population and Housing <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less -than- <br />Significant <br />Impact with <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less -than- <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No <br />Impact <br />Would the project: <br />a. Induce substantial population growth in an <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />® <br />❑ <br />area, either directly (e.g., by proposing new <br />homes and businesses) or indirectly <br />(e.g., through extension of roads or other <br />infrastructure)? <br />b. Displace a substantial number of existing <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />housing units, necessitating the construction <br />of replacement housing elsewhere? <br />c. Displace a substantial number of people, <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />necessitating the construction of replacement <br />housing elsewhere? <br />Discussion <br />Would the project: <br />a. induce substantial population growth In an area, either directly (e.g., by proposing new homes <br />and businesses) or indirectly (e.g., through extension of roads or• other Infrastructure? <br />Less - than - Significant Impact. The proposed project would demolish the existing onsite structures <br />that are currently used for religious purposes and would redevelop the site with one large building <br />that would be used for similar religious purposes. The proposed project would add additional <br />capacity to the site and provide for future onsite meditation center activities. The project anticipates <br />a slight increase in the daily number of visitors and a large increase in the number of visitors that <br />would attend the three annual festivities. Currently, four people reside on the project site (the <br />Master and his three assistants). The same four people would reside onsite after implementation of <br />the project. As a result the project would not directly induce onsite population growth. Additionally, <br />the proposed project site is currently developed and is surrounded by existing development and <br />served by existing infrastructure. No roads or infrastructure would be extended to serve the <br />proposed project. As such, impacts would not be considered substantially growth - inducing either <br />directly or indirectly, and impacts are less than significant. <br />b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of <br />replacement housing elsewhere? <br />No Impact. The proposed project will redevelop the project site with similar religious /meditation <br />center uses that currently exist. The proposed project would not displace any existing housing and <br />would not result in the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. No impact would occur. <br />c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of repincement housing <br />elsewhere? <br />No Impact. As stated in XIII.b, the proposed project would not displace existing housing. The <br />proposed project would not displace any people and would not require the construction of <br />replacement housing elsewhere. No impact would occur. <br />The Bat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3-77 June 2013 <br />Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration [CF 0021S,12 <br />31 C -131 <br />
