i Brief Ex lavation of the Rationale for the Finding g Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(1), the Board of Supervisors finds that the project's adherence to the following mitigation measure will reduce thegn otential impact of this significant effect to P P a less than significant level: MM 4.8-2. The Project applicant will consult with Caltrans to develop plans to install a temporary deceleration lane for west-bound traffic on State Route 46 to make right turns onto Holloway Road, as well as a temporary acceleration lane for west-bound traffic to make right turns onto State Route 46 from Holloway Road. The applicant will install these improvements per the approved plans and to the satisfaction of Caltrans prior to commencement of increased waste deliveries. These improvements will provide for improved safety at the Holloway Road/State Route 46 intersection on an interim basis until the State Route 46 4- Lane widening project is completed. C. Effects Of The Project That Cannot Be Mitigated To A Level Less Than Significant. None D. Cumulative Environmental Effects Of The Proposed Project That Will Have A Less Than Significant Impact On The Environment. Cumulative impacts to transportation and traffic will be less than significant. E. Cumulative Environmental Effects Of The Proposed Project That Will Have A Significant Impact On The Environment. None SECTION III. GROWTH INDUCING IMPACTS Section 15126.2(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines provides the following direction regarding analysis of growth-inducing impacts: Discuss the ways in which the proposed Project could foster economic or population growth, or the construction of additional housing, either directly or indirectly, in the surrounding environment. Included in this are projects that would remove obstacles to population growth (a major expansion of a waste water treatment plant might,for example, allow for more construction in service areas). Increases in the population may further tax existing community service facilities so consideration must be given to this impact. Also discuss the characteristic of some projects that may encourage and facilitate other activities that could significantly affect the environment,either individually or cumulatively. It must not be assumed that growth in any area is necessarily beneficial,detrimental, or of little significance to the environment. Because it cannot be known if the Project will cause growth in any particular area, and because the Project most likely will not be the sole contributor to growth in any particular area, it is not, however, reasonable to require the DEIR to undertake a detailed analysis of the results of such growth.
