City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br />158 <br />need in the City’s Housing Element Update is approximately 5,965 residential <br />units, representing approximately 17,835 people.27 Given that the current <br />population of the City is approximately 76,689 persons, the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR estimated that the total population of the City as a result of <br />development consistent with the Housing Element Update could reach <br />approximately 94,524 persons by the buildout horizon. Therefore, an increase <br />of 220 people would be within the total population growth estimated by <br />buildout of the Housing Element Update FEIR; therefore, impacts would be <br />less than significant. <br />Additionally, the proposed project would qualify for a 20 percent density <br />bonus as described in Section 2, Project Description, above, because the <br />project would provide age-restricted senior housing under the State Density <br />Bonus Law (Government Code 65915). The Housing Element Update FEIR <br />concluded that additional units built pursuant to a density bonus would be <br />accounted for within the Housing Element Update FEIR’s programmatic <br />evaluation because not all sites would be expected to develop at their <br />maximum allowable density due to site-specific constraints and market- <br />driven and other factors. Therefore, although the proposed project includes <br />more units than were anticipated for the project site, the Housing Element <br />Update FEIR’s conclusions and analysis are adequate for the proposed <br />project’s impacts related to increased population due to a density bonus. <br />Therefore, impacts related to unplanned growth inducement would be less <br />than significant. <br />Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the <br />proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more <br />severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing <br />Element Update FEIR. <br />b) Housing Displacement/Replacement Housing <br />Would the project: b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, <br />necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />Housing Displacement/Replacement Housing <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated the Housing Element Update <br />would result in a significant impact if it would displace substantial numbers of <br />people or existing housing which would require the construction of <br /> <br />27 Ibid.
