8. Growth - Inducing Impacts of the Proposed Project <br />Pursuant to Sections 15126 d and 15126.2 (d) of the CEQA Guidelines, this section is provided to examine <br />ways in which the proposed project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of <br />additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Also required is an <br />assessment of other projects that would foster other activities which could affect the environment, <br />individually or cumulatively. To address this issue, potential growth - inducing effects are examined through <br />analysis of the following questions: <br />• Would this project remove obstacles to growth, erg., through the construction or extension of major <br />infrastructure facilities that do not presently exist in the project area, or through changes in existing <br />regulations pertaining to land development? <br />• Would this project result in the need to expand one or more public services to maintain desired <br />levels of service? <br />• Would this project encourage or facilitate economic effects that could result in other activities that <br />could significantly affect the environment? <br />• <br />Would approval of this project involve some precedent - setting action that could encourage and <br />facilitate other activities that could significantly affect the environment? Rt <br />Please note that growth - inducing effects are not to be construed as necessarily beneficial, detrirnental, or of <br />little significance to the environment. This issue is presented to provide additional information on wars in <br />which this project could contribute to significant changes in the environment, beyond the direct <br />consequences of modifying the roadways examined in the preceding sections of this Draft SEIR. <br />The intersection and roadway changes would not extend, expand, or construct new infrastructure facilities. <br />The project would modify existing facilities in an urbanized builtout area of the city. This project would not <br />encourage other acti►rities that would affect the environment. <br />FalrbavenlLincoln and Santa ClaralLincoln Intersection Modifications City of Santa A na • Page -1 <br />Supplement to the Santa Ana Second Main Track Project EIR Resolution No. 2009 -034 <br />Page 105 of 130 <br />
