The locations ofthese properties are shown on figures 2-5 and 2-8 in Section 2.0, Project Description.3.3 CUMULATIVE PROJECTS SETTINGSection 15130 of the CEQA Guidelines requires a discussion of cumulative impacts, which aredefined as two or more individual events that, when evaluated together, are significant orwould compound other environmental impacts. For example, traffic impacts of two nearbyprojects may be inconsequential when analyzed separately, but could have a substantial impactwhen analyzed together.The CEQA Guidelines indicate that discussion of related or cumulative projects may be drawnfrom either a “list of past, present, and probable future projects producing related or cumulativeimpacts” or a “summary of projections contained in an adopted general plan or relatedplanning document or in a prior environmental document which has been adopted or certified,which described or evaluated regional or area wide conditions contributing to the cumulativeimpact.”To assess potential cumulative impacts to which implementation of the Project may contribute,this EIR considers 2025 projections for population, housing, and job growth contained in the2005 General Plan EIR.
