THAT WOULD IMPACT HOUSING
Reference: Government Code Section 11346.5(a)(12).

as effective  and less burdensome  to affected private 
persons than the proposed  action, or would be more 
cost–effective  to affected private persons and equally 
effective in implementing  the statutory  policy or other
