directly facilitate growth in the area. As described above, indirect growth inducement would also
not result.
The construction of infrastructure is often considered an action that removes obstacles to growth
in an area. The site is currently served by existing roadways, but not served by utilities or public
services. All new infrastructure that would be installed with implementation of the Clay Pit SVRA
General Plan, including construction and operation of the headquarters facilities, would serve only
the Clay Pit SVRA on‐site facilities and would not extend off‐site or result in service expansions
that could serve or accommodate other future development in the project area.
Clay Pit SVRA historically and currently serves as an OHV recreation area and social gathering
location for the local community. The General Plan, including construction and operation of the
headquarters facilities, would not change the overall use of the property but, rather, enhance the
existing use and recreation opportunities within the SVRA. The improvement of Clay Pit SVRA
would not be expected to attract new residential development or foster economic or population
growth.
For these reasons, implementation of the General Plan, including construction and operation of
the headquarters facilities, would not result in primary or secondary environmental effects related
to additional growth.
