The Bowery Mixed -Use Project 2. Response to Comments future parks and recreation facilities, including those in the City of Tustin, such that substantial physical deterioration of any facility would occur or be accelerated. Comment 3: This comment states that according to Table 5.13-1 on page 5.13-2 of the Draft EIR, with one exception, the nearest City of Santa Ana parks are approximately two to three miles from the Project site. The comment states that as a comparison, the Draft EIR should analyze the distances from other similar existing City of Santa Ana residential neighborhoods to their nearest community parks. The comment also states that Table 5.13-2 on pages 5.13-3 and 5.13-4 of the DER, which lists City of Tustin and City of Irvine parks within the vicinity of the project site, should be modified to also include Ron Foell (Greenwood) Park. Response 3: As described in Response 1, the EIR is a "Project" EIR. As described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, a "Project" EIR should focus primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development project. The location of other City residential neighborhoods and park locations is not an impact related to the proposed Project. However, as detailed in Table 5.13-1 in Section 5.13, Parks and Recreation of the Draft EIR, and described in the previous response, the City of Santa Ana has 11 existing parks that provide 81.88 acres of parkland within 3 miles of the Project site. The Draft EIR Table 5.13-3 shows that over 37 percent of people regularly drive within 10 minutes to reach typical outdoor recreation uses; 20.8 percent drive between 11-20 minutes; and another 31.3 percent drive between 20 and 60 minutes. Also, 79.3 percent walk 12 minutes or less to outdoor recreation. All of the 81.88 acres of Santa Ana parkland are within a 10-minute driving distance of the Project site and all of the parkland within both Santa Ana and Tustin are beyond the 12-minute walking distance. Thus, both parkland within Santa Ana and Tustin from residents at the Project site would be generally accessed by vehicle. Moreover, per the California State Parks data, the existing parkland within 3 miles of the Project site is within the geographical area that most park visitors utilize. In addition, pursuant to this comment, Table 5.13-2 of the DEIR, was modified to include Ron Foell (Greenwood) Park, as provided below and in Chapter 3, Revisions to the Draft EIR. Ron Foell (Greenwood) Playground. Amphitheater. Basketball Court, 2 Bocce Ball courts. 5 acres 1.9 miles Driving: 4 minutes Walkina: 39 minutes Park. Windrow Rd 1.4 miles of Walking Trails, Picnic Pavilions Total of Tustin Parkland Within 3 Miles of the Project Site 9" 9Y.9 acres Comment 4: This comment asserts that the EIR determination that parks would be less than significantly impacted is not supported by any studies and that the EIR should analyze the actual anticipated usage of existing and proposed parks in the City of Tustin, especially those that offer sports -oriented recreational facilities. The comment also states that the proposed Veterans Sports Park at Tustin Legacy would be larger and about half the distance from the Project site than the closest park in Santa Ana and will offer new, state of art facilities that will be attractive to park users. The comment further states that the EIR should consider the quality, amenities, and attractiveness of nearby parks when estimating park usage. Response 4: As described in Responses 2 and 3 previously, based on the California State Parks information the Project would average approximately five 30-minute users per week per acre of parkland within 3 miles of the Project site (including those in the City of Tustin). Regarding City of Santa Ana sports -oriented recreational facilities, of the 10 Santa Ana parks listed in Table 5.13-1 of the Draft EIR, that are 3-miles from the Project site, 6 provide sports -oriented recreational facilities, that include: baseball fields, basketball courts, multi -purpose fields, handball courts, swimming pool, tennis courts, and volleyball courts. The closest City of Santa Ana park with sports -oriented recreational facilities is Delhi Park, which is 10.4 acres and located 1.4 miles from the Project site.
