Wi) <br /> The proposed project is located in EiSA 42, which is in the <br /> Northwest Orange County Subregion. The Growth Forecast Policy shows a <br /> population increase of 95,900 during the period between 1980 and 2000 <br /> which is a 25.6 increase in growth for this RSA. This represents the <br /> fifth smallest population increase for the Orange County region, <br /> absorbing 11% of the County's growth. Most available land is developed <br /> within this urban area by 2000, and moderate recycle rates are <br /> forecasted." The proposed project is a corinercial project that recycles <br /> existing urban land and will therefore, not directly increase the <br />L population in EiSA 42. Such recycling of urban land uses is consistent <br /> with the AOMP population forecast. <br /> According to The SCAG-82 Growth Forecast Policy, "Urban areas <br /> include the following land use categories which are generally associated <br /> with urban use: residential, conmercial, industrial, transportation and <br />U utilities, and institutional. Non-urban acreage includes agriculttiral <br /> land, vacant land, water bodies, and undevelopable acreage. The <br /> forecast assumes that only vacant lands and agricultural lands will be <br />L converted to urban use." RSA 42 is forecasted to grow by 3,603 urban <br /> acres between 1979 and 2000, i.e., 3,603 non-urban acres will convert to <br />Li urban use. The proposed project site is comprised of 63 acres of <br /> existing urban land which would be recycled to a greater intensity. <br /> Recycling of existing urban land uses is consistent with SCAG-82 and the <br /> AQMPI- <br />I <br />Li <br /> Project Effects <br />I- <br /> The aggregate air quality emissions from on-site emission <br /> sources associated with the proposed project is shown in Table 21. As <br /> indicated in the table, only emission sources associated with the <br /> operational phase of the project were totaled. Emissions associated <br /> with the construction phase were considered short-term, and therefore, <br /> not considered in the long-tern contribution of air emissions. The <br /> emissions associated with the generation of electricity were off-site <br /> 134
