However, the Prior EIR concluded that final action taken by the City regarding Housing Element buildout would not necessarily designate all sites for residential development, nor would they likely all be built to maximum proposed density, but that it would be sufficient to meet Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) identified housing needs. In addition, the Prior EIR found that the Housing Element would implement policies and programs including the regular renewal of Growth Management Reports to manage housing growth and demand. It was determined that, with the implementation of the proposed Housing Element policies and programs, the City would meet the allocation as determined by RHNA in a sustainable manner, one in which the provision of affordable housing is accomplished largely without stressing the City’s current infrastructure. Therefore, the Prior EIR concluded that there would be a less than significant impact on population growth inducement. Analysis of Proposed Project The proposed project would be zoned PUD–Mixed -Use, which allows for residential development. The Mixed-Use designation currently allows for a maximum residential unit density of 40 units per acre. The proposed project would exceed this density, with a proposed density of 60 units per acre, consistent with development under the Density Bonus Law (Government Code 65915), which allows for measured increases in density beyond the allowed limits for development of affordable housing units.79 Because at least 24 percent of the units 80 in the proposed project would be deed-restricted for low-income households, in accordance with Government Code 65915, the proposed project includes a 50 percent density bonus over the 6-acre site, resulting in 360 units (60 units/acre). Furthermore, as shown in the Prior EIR Table 3-3, it was assumed that Site 3, which includes the project site, would be developed with between 210-400 housing units. The project proposes 360 multi-family housing units, which is within the buildout that was anticipated by the Prior EIR for all of Site 3. Given that the average number of persons per household in the City is 2.69, it can be estimated that the proposed project would result in a population increase of approximately 968 people.81 Given that the Prior EIR estimated that the total population in Pleasanton as a result of development consistent with the Housing Element could reach 80,100 by the year 2015, and the current population of the city is only 77,609, an increase of 968 people would still be within the total population growth estimated by buildout of the Housing Element. Future development, if any, on the remaining portion of Site 3 would undergo similar considerations of growth inducement to evaluate consistency with the Prior EIR. Therefore, impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation is necessary, consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information that would cause new or more severe impacts. b) Displacement of Housing 79 California Government Code. Title 7.
