Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project According to the Economic Assessment of Demand and Urban Decay in the Stockton Area for Proposed Gill Medical Center Report (King 2020.) (Appendix 1), the project, at full buildout, is expected to generate approximately 600 onsite well-paying jobs.This job growth could result in a potential indirect influence on the local population and place demands on housing in the area. However, the project area currently experiences a "leakage" of medical related jobs and patients seeking care due to the lack of nearby health care facilities. Leakage describes the phenomena of seeking a good or service outside of one's trade area (typically near one's residence or possibly near one's place of work).With regard to the medical care industry, it is likely that some residents in San Joaquin County receive medical care services in the Sacramento Area and the greater Bay Area, where there is a higher number of high-quality medical facilities and personnel as well as a greater number of specialists. Coincidently, many medical industry practitioners (especially nurses) who reside in San Joaquin County do not necessarily practice there, but rather work in these two alternative trade areas where there are more hospitals and Medical Office Buildings (MOBS). Therefore, most jobs generated by development of the Proposed Project are expected to be filled mainly by existing residents in the Stockton area. Therefore, the Project is not expected to induce substantial direct or indirect unplanned population growth in the area and impacts would be less than significant. Both unemployment and job availability associated with the project would fluctuate over time, making any clear determination of the significance of population growth speculative. Mitigation Measures No mitigation is required. Impact 4.16-2: The project would displace substantial numbers of people or existing housing. Impact Determination:no impact Threshold: Substantial displacement of people or existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere The project would not displace any people or remove any existing housing.There would be no impact. Mitigation Measures No mitigation is required. 4.16.4 Cumulative Impacts The geographic area considered in the cumulative analysis of population and housing is San Joaquin County. The cumulative projects in the San Joaquin County region would have the potential to result in a significant cumulative impact if they would, in combination: directly or indirectly induce substantial unanticipated population growth; displace a substantial amount of housing that would necessitate replacement housing elsewhere; or, displace a substantial number of people that would necessitate replacement housing elsewhere. The Proposed Project would result in employment growth, but as discussed above new employees are expected to be mostly existing residents from the greater Stockton/Lodi area.According to the San Population and Housing 4.16-4 October 2021
