The proposed Fashion Square Conunercial Center project combined <br /> with cumulative projects could potentially generate 24,863 new employ- <br /> ment opportunities. The population growth and increased housing demands <br /> resulting from those employment opportunities will be of lesser <br /> magnitude because of the existing labor market both in the City of Santa <br /> Ana and in the surrounding corinunities. That labor market has the <br /> capacity to provide most of the low skilled employment needs anticipated <br /> frp, both the proposed project and cumulative projects. Housing <br /> difficulties will be more evident for those employees in higher income <br /> occupations who wish to move into Santa Ana or nearby corrmnunities. <br /> 5.11.3 Mitigation Measures <br />IL No mitigation measures are proposed. <br /> 5.11.4 Significant Environmental Effects <br />IL <br /> Even though most of the job opportunities created by the <br />4.-; project will be filled by persons already residinq in the area, the <br /> project will result in some increase in the demand for housing. Some of <br /> the new employees will be persons residing a considerable distance from <br /> the project who will desire to more into Santa Ana or other neighboring <br /> connunities in order to shorten their connuting distance. By <br /> contributing to the general demand for housing in the area, such persons <br /> will add somewhat to the existing housing market problems, such as the <br /> difficulties of finding affordable housing and upward pressures on <br /> housing costs. <br />I' <br />5' <br />-I <br /> 171
