in the downstream groundwater recharge basin; and (c) considerable amounts of

have a local and reglonal growth-inducing impact by stimulating residential and
PC79-199
commercial development (n presently undeveloped areas; however, such environmental
Impacts wl11 be reduced by compliance W~th Cfty codes, plans, policTes and
procedures; the project w111 bring substant~el soclai and economic beneftts to the
City and its res(~ents by provlding employment, lncreased tax revenues and providing
