Hana Japan Restaurant Project <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />66 <br />May 2025 <br />XIV. POPULATION AND HOUSING. <br />Would the project: <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less-Than- <br />Significant <br />with <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less-Than- <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No <br />Impact <br />a. Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an <br />area, either directly (for example, by proposing new <br />homes and businesses) or indirectly (e.g., through <br />projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major <br />infrastructure)? <br />    <br />b. Displace substantial numbers of existing people or <br />housing, necessitating the construction of <br />replacement housing elsewhere? <br />    <br /> <br />Discussion <br />a,b. The project site does not contain any existing residential development, nor would the <br />proposed project result in the addition of residential development to the site. As such, <br />development of the proposed project would not require the demolition of any existing <br />residential units nor directly induce population growth. While the proposed project could <br />create new jobs in the area, which could potentially result in an increase in the housing <br />demand, such an increase would be minimal due to the relatively small scale of the <br />proposed project. As such, the proposed project would create employment, but would not <br />lead to influx of new residents to the project area. In addition, as discussed in Section XIX, <br />Utilities and Service Systems, of this IS/MND, adequate utility infrastructure would be <br />available to support the proposed project. Therefore, the proposed project would not <br />induce substantial unplanned population growth, either directly or indirectly, and a less- <br />than-significant impact would occur. <br /> <br />
