II. POPULATION AND HOUSING
| a,b | The project would not directly increase population within the community. The project is designed to accommodate projected and planned growth of demand in the downtown San Jose area of Santa Clara County, as well as the San Jose International Airport area and surrounding residential areas, by providing additional electrical power to a system where the existing electrical capacity cannot meet projected needs. While substantial development is planned under approved plans for the area by the City, no new public or private projects are anticipated to be directly initiated as a result of construction and operation of the substation. Therefore, no impact would occur because the project would not exceed population projections or induce substantial growth in an area. |
| c | No housing units are located on the proposed substation site. Most of the corridor for the proposed power line is industrial or commercial. For the corridor segments that run along streets in residential districts, the power line right-of-way would be negotiated with the landowners. As no residences would need to be demolished or moved, no impacts to housing are anticipated. Therefore, the project would have no impact on existing housing. |
