Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated the physical division of an established community could potentially occur if development consistent with the Housing Element Update would involve construction of a large linear feature, such as a railroad or interstate highway, or if it would involve removal of access that would impact mobility within an existing community, such as removal of a bridge. The potential sites for rezoning were chosen by the City based on certain criteria that make the sites suitable for residential development. These criteria include: (1) site size and infill criteria, (2) proximity to modes of transportation, (3) proximity to services and amenities, (4) environmental impacts/hazards, (5) impacts on sensitive resources, (6) height and mass combability, and (7) owner interest in development of the site.
