P13-2458, Downtown Revitalization District In-Lieu Parking Fee Environmental Checklist The study prepared by Hexagon shows that, although close to fully occupied at the "center" of the Downtown area, not all of the parking spaces within the study area are occupied during peak times. Furthermore, the study area does not include all of the public parking available in the Downtown Revitalization District (i.e., City Hall and library parking lots and additional off-street parking on Old Bernal Avenue, the northern part of Main Street, and side streets). Therefore, surplus parking is provided for patrons utilizing downtown amenities and/or services. This would be of less than significant impact. 5.7 POPULATION AND HOUSING Environmental Setting The majority of the Downtown Revitalization District is surrounded by existing residential uses and properties with a residential land use designation in the Pleasanton General Plan. Please refer to image 2 on page 5. No physical changes, such as demolition, grading, trenching or construction, are proposed as part of the PMC amendment. Standards of Significance For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if the proposed project would: • Induce substantial growth that is inconsistent with the approved land use plans in place; or, • Displace affordable housing. Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than No Population and Housing Significant with Significant Impact Would the project: Impact Mitigation Impact Incorporation_ a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes X and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the X construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement X housing elsewhere? 33
