7.0 Growth Inducement Avion Project SEIR Page 7-2 unincorporated area directly adjacent to the Subarea to the northeast, is almost completely built out. The Rancho Peñasquitos Community Plan area lies to the east of the project site and is also essentially built out. In conjunction with the Subarea Plan, a Transportation Phasing Plan was adopted to guide implementation of circulation improvements within and surrounding the community. Most of the major circulation improvements called for in the Transportation Phasing Plan have been or are currently being constructed. Also as identified within the 1998 EIR, major regional serving water and electrical utilities are sited within the Subarea. Utility and roadway extensions constructed in conjunction with the proposed Subarea I development plan would extend energy, roads, water, and sewer to the Subarea, but would not facilitate their extension to other sites where they are currently unavailable, and would not contribute to growth inducement. As detailed in the 1998 EIR, buildout of the community would be required to ensure that other essential services, such as libraries, fire, and police, continue to meet City standards. Future development within the Subarea, along with other cumulative buildout in the area, would create demand for new facilities and levels of service. Since adoption of the Subarea Plan, required new facilities, such as schools, parks, police and fire stations, have been constructed within or adjacent to the Subarea. No additional public services would be needed to serve the project site. In conclusion, the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions for the Subarea Plan. Planned facilities (e.g., roads, utilities) and services (schools, police, fire protection) are in place and are adequate to serve the project. The project would not extend any new roads, utilities, or services beyond those already anticipated to serve the buildout of the Black Mountain Ranch community. Therefore, the project would not be growth inducing.
