AUGUSTIN BERNAL MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL PROJECT DRAFT INITIAL STUDY 12956 DUDEK 74 April 2022 Impact Discussion a) Would the project 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)? The project would construct a mountain bike trail to replace several existing unofficial user-created trails. The project would not require extension of any infrastructure into unserved areas that would promote growth; the project site is within an area of existing urban development already served by infrastructure. The project would not create new residences or commercial land uses that could create new employment opportunities. The project would create a local-serving recreational facility to meet the identified needs of existing City residents consistent with the City’s Trails Master Plan. Since the project would result in no population growth associated with new home construction or creation of a large number of new jobs, and would not extend infrastructure into new areas, it would not induce unplanned population growth and thus would result in no impact. b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? The project would construct a mountain bike trail to replace several existing unofficial user-created trails. No housing currently exists on the project site thus no housing would be displaced by the proposed project. The project would not introduce any new land uses that could displace residents from existing residential uses in areas adjacent to the project site. Therefore, the project would result in no impact associated with construction of replacement housing due to displacement of people or existing housing. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are required. 3.15 Public Services Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated Less Than Significant Impact No Impact XV. PUBLIC SERVICES a) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection? Police protection?
