As of July 1, 2019, the City of Pleasanton had an estimated population of 81,777, <br />an average of 2.81 persons per household, and 29,011 households.92 <br />Would the project: <br />a) Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by <br />proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or <br />other infrastructure)? <br />Less than significant impact. Because the proposed project would not include any residential uses, <br />the proposed project would not directly induce population growth. The Association of Bay Area <br />Governments (ABAG) forecasts a total population of 78,370 for the City of Pleasanton by 2030 and a <br />population of 87,875 by 2040. The proposed project would employ approximately 1,415 employees <br />at full buildout.93 The proposed project’s employment requirements would be met partially by <br />employees from the existing 10x Genomics facilities located in the City of Pleasanton. ABAG <br />forecasts that total jobs in the City of Pleasanton will be 66,940 by 2030 and 75,440 by 2040. <br />Additionally, ABAG forecasts that there will be 47,770 employed residents by 2030 and 51,545 <br />employed residents by 2040. 94 As such, the proposed project’s construction and operational <br />employment requirements could be met by the region’s existing labor force without substantial <br />numbers of people needing to relocate into the region.
