Hacienda Mixed Use Rezoning Initial Study <br /> Significance Criteria <br /> The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. <br /> Discussion of Checklist Items <br /> Less Than- Significant Impact The project would induce residential population growth close to the <br /> Pleasanton /Dublin BART station. The proposed zone change would require a minimum of 30 <br /> residential units per acre in addition to the other allowed uses for a total of at least 948 dwelling units <br /> and up to about 1,030 dwelling units or more on the three project sites. These housing units would be <br /> counted against Pleasanton's housing cap. <br /> Under State housing law, parcels that require 30 or more dwelling units per acre may be considered <br /> adequate sites for lower income housing. Thus this zone change would satisfy Program 19.1 of the 2003 <br /> Housing Element to rezone land sufficient to accommodate the City's remaining unaccommodated <br /> need, which is currently 521. <br /> The proposed rezoning would enable, but not require, the sites to be developed with housing rather <br /> than with the office /R&D uses that are currently allowed. Developing these sites with housing would <br /> increase the residential population in the area, but potential housing was analyzed as an alternative in the <br /> General Plan EIR and found to be not significant. Further analysis will occur when actual development <br /> plans are proposed. <br /> No Impacts. Development due to the proposed zone change would not result in displacing any housing <br /> or residents as the land is undeveloped. <br /> Less Than <br /> Potentially Significant with Less Than No <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant Impact <br /> Impact Incorporation Impact <br /> 13.
