EXHIBIT A parking structure. In addition, interior recreation facilities include a 5,397 -square foot fitness center and a 1,566 square foot wellness pavilion. These onsite amenities are anticipated to meet many of the park and recreation needs of Project residents. The new residential population that would be generated from the Project is also anticipated to utilize existing off-site park and recreation facilities. There is currently 93.8 acres of Santa Ana parkland within 3 -miles of the Project site. Based on the existing amount of park and recreation facilities in the vicinity of the Project site, the recreation facilities that would be provided as part of the Project, and the number of residents at full capacity of the Project, the Project is not anticipated to require the provision of new or physically altered park facilities in order to maintain acceptable service ratios. In addition, the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 35-108 requires that residential development fees be paid for the acquisition, construction, and renovation of park and recreation facilities to preserve an appropriate balance between the demand by residents for use of park and recreational facilities and the availability of such facilities. Thus, by payment of the required park fees, the Project would provide funding to offset any increased usage at other park and recreation facilities. Overall, the Project would not result in substantial physical deterioration of park and recreation facilities. (DEIR, p. 4.10-12 through 4.10-13.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (DEIR, p. 4.10-12 through 4.10-13.) 9.14.5 Existing Recreational Facilities Threshold: Would the Project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.10-13 through 4.10-14.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would provide onsite open space and recreational facilities for residents, which is anticipated to reduce the Project's impact on off-site recreational facilities. Moreover, based on the existing amount of park and recreational facilities in the Project site's vicinity, the recreational facilities that would be provided as part of the Project, and the anticipated number of residents at the Project, the Project is not anticipated to increase the use of existing parks and recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would be accelerated. In addition, the Santa Ana Municipal Code, Section 35-108 requires that residential development fees be paid for the acquisition, construction, and renovation of park and recreation facilities to preserve an appropriate balance between the demand by residents for use of park and recreational facilities and the availability of such facilities. Thus, by payment of the required park fees, the Project would provide funding to offset any increased usage at other park and recreation facilities. Overall, the Project would not result in substantial physical deterioration of park and recreation facilities For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
