EXHIBIT A 9.14.6 New Recreational Facilities Threshold: Does the Project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.10-14.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project includes recreational facilities that would be constructed and operated as part of the proposed Project. In addition, access Option B includes repaving the Walkie Way entrance to Santiago Park and the addition of landscaping that includes trees and ground cover in the park and Project site entrance. The impacts of development of the recreational amenities and access options are considered part of the impacts of the Project as a while and are analyzed throughout the various sections of the DEIR. Moreover, the Project would not require the construction or expansion of other recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. 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. 4.10-14) 9.14.7 Other Public Facilities Threshold: Would the Project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or a need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for other public facilities? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-8; Initial Study, pp. 54-55.) Facts in Support of Finding: As described in the Initial Study, other public facilities include libraries. The City of Santa Ana Public Library includes two branches within 5 miles of the site. Library service needs are changing with increasing resources being available online and the availability of high-speed internet services and the new residences on the Project site do not necessarily result in an incremental need for library facilities. A majority of the residential units would be equipped with internet access, which provides access to many of the same resources provided by the library and would limit the increased need for library services and resources. (Initial Study, pp. 54-55.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, pp. 54-55.) 9.15 Transportation and Traffic 9.15.1 Conflict with Applicable Circulation Plan or with Applicable Congestion Management Program Threshold: Would the Project conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non -motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation Resolution No. Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR 75E-83 Page 45 of 71
