*:/ : 11-1 h WA <br />construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service <br />ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: <br />a) Fire protection? <br />Less Than Significant Impact. The City's fire protection services are provided by the Orange County Fire <br />Authority (OCFA). There are 10 fire stations within the City limits, and the nearest fire station fiom the 6th <br />Street Site is Station No. 75 at 120 W. Walnut Street, approximately 0.5 mile to the southwest of the 6th Street <br />Site; and the nearest station from the Raitt Street Site is Station No. 73 at 419 S. Franklin Street, approximately <br />0.03 mile to the west of the Raitt Street Site. The replacement park sites are currently vacant, and the proposed <br />project would slightly increase the fire protection demands at these sites. However, the proposed project would <br />mainly serve the existing community, and would not increase the overall population size to result in physical <br />alteration of existing fire protection facilities. The proposed project is not a growth inducing project, and no <br />additional fire protection facilities would need to be constructed in order to serve the replacement park sites. <br />Therefore, impacts would not be considered significant, and no mitigation measures are required. <br />b) Police protection? <br />Less Than Significant Impact. The Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) provides police protection <br />services to the City of Santa Ana. SAPD would be responsible for providing police protection services to the <br />replacement park sites. In general, the demand on police services is related to the size of the population and <br />geographic area served, the number and types of calls for service, and other community chmacteristies. The <br />6th Street Site is surrounded generally by residential uses, except for Garfield Elementary School across Lacy <br />Street Raitt Street Site is surrounded by residential uses on all four sides. Development of walkup parks would <br />support the existing residential community and would not substantially increase the size of the population that <br />require police protection from SAPD. Therefore, no provision of new or physically altered police facilities are <br />anticipated. Implementation of the proposed project would not have a significant impact on existing police <br />protection services, and no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />c) Schools? <br />No Impact. School service needs me related to the size of the residential population, the geographic area <br />served, and community characteristics. The proposed project is the construction of neighborhood parks that <br />would serve the needs of the existing community, and the project would not increase the population of the <br />area. Therefore, the project would not place additional demands on District schools. No impact is anticipated. <br />d) Parks? <br />No Impact. In general, residential development and actions that generate an increase in population result in <br />added demand on park services. The proposed project involves development of three neighborhood parks as <br />replacement for the 2.6-acre of non recreational use at the Centennial Park The replacement parks would serve <br />the needs of the existing community, and would not increase the population of the area. The proposed project <br />would result in additional recreational opportunities for the local community, thereby generating a beneficial <br />impact to park services. No impact is anticipated. <br />75C-118 <br />
