Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? i ✓ a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure) ? Less Than Significant Impact The existing Bender Ready -Mix facility employs approximately 12 full- time workers. Even under the conservative assumption that all 12 employees and their families have relocated to the project area, any increase in population growth would not be substantial given the limited number of employees. The proposed project would implement a range of aesthetic, drainage, water quality, and safety improvements at the project site. These improvements would not increase the capacity of the existing ' concrete manufacturing facility nor would they increase the number of employees. Thus, impacts in regards to population growth would be less than significant. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact The Bender Ready -Mix facility exists within a fully developed, industrialized area. No housing or people have been displaced by the operation of the concrete manufacturing facility. In ' addition, none of the aesthetic, drainage, water quality, and safety improvements associated with the project would result in the displacement of any housing or people. Thus, no impacts would occur in this regard. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required. C) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? No Impact Refer to Response 4.12(b). Mitigation Measures: No mitigation is required.
