7. A redudion of 822 housing units represents an even smaller number (roughly 608) of employed residents with non-Pleasanton jobs. allowing the ccncJusion that the effect on non-Pleasanton workers would not be significant. (SOUrca: PfHsanton GlvMtl Man~ Repatt. 19;..f.

Given the minimal change in the housing supply increase anticipated in Pleasanton, and the substantial expansion of subregional housing resources anticipated, any so-caUed "displacement" effect resulting tram the modest revision in Pleasanton's plamed housing expansion would not be significant. B. Further inaeases in the local and subregional housing stock beyond those currently projected raise environmental quality issues. 1. The HMM of population growth proposed by Pleasanton is less than that pro- posed in 1986. The reduction ''Would generallY deaease the potential for envirormental impacts" (DEIR, p. 24). As an example, see DEIR Table 6 (pp. 36-37) and campare the traffic levels of service for the General Plan Update (column headed "Option 2 with Mitigations; with those resulting from the 1986 General Plan ("Option 4 with Option 2 Mitigations"). The level of development proposed under the 1986 General Plan would require a subpntially greater mitigation effort than the level proposed under the General Plan Update. 2. The Tri-VaUey Transportation Council evaluated the effectS an regional routes of the development levels projected for the subregion. The analysis found that the year 2010 roadway system would experience numerous ov..-capacity links: all at 1-580 in the Tri-Valley area, most of 1-680, and significant ab etches of other reg- ional routes induding Camino Tassajara, SR 84, Stanley Boulevard, Bollinger Can- yon Road east of 1-680. and San Ramon Valley BlvdJHartz AvenuelDanville Blvd. (Source: TII-VaUey T~on Council: T~ ~~An'Adi:rJ PIm frJr IttUN 01 RfIfIonaJ ~, January, 1885.

The Tri-Valley Planning Council recognizes the potential for subregional growth to have adverse envirorvnental consequences: "Some citizens have raised the concern that the amount of growth allowed in .general plans and projected by ABAG would exceed the capacity of .._ public facilities and would degrade air quality and other resources. It It is not dear that any greater number of housing units, whether subregional or local, can be acccmmodated within the subregion's environmental capacity.
