9.0 EIR Subject Areas Requiring No Change in Analysis Avion Project SEIR Page 9-7 significant for the subject site. Because the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions and conceptual development footprint identified in the Subarea Plan, noise impacts associated project traffic and noise contours associated with surrounding roadways would be consistent with the analysis in the 1998 EIR. The project would not result in any new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts beyond those previously identified in the EIR relative to operational noise. The 1998 EIR indicated that potential future construction-related noise impacts to sensitive wildlife within the Multi-Habitat Preservation Area (MHPA) may result from grading and construction in the southeast perimeter properties. MHPA adjacency impacts associated with noise are addressed in Section 5.1.5 of this SEIR. Additionally, blasting may be required during construction activities. Construction noise and vibration impacts require subsequent analysis and are addressed in Section 5.6.4 of this SEIR. 9.10 Public Facilities and Services As required of all development proposals, the project would be required to pay applicable impact fees for public facilities and services prior to the issuance of building permits. 9.10.1 Schools The 1998 EIR concluded that the additional elementary, middle, and high school students generated by buildout of the Subarea Plan would contribute to the already overcrowded schools and is considered a direct and cumulatively significant impact. The 1998 EIR stated that implementation of the following condition and offers of dedication would reduce direct and cumulative school impacts from subarea development to below a level of significance: a) Collection of required fees and setting aside three school sites, and provision of partial acreage for a future high school site. Mitigation for school impacts would include implementation of a final financing agreement and phasing plan for future development in the subarea and the Poway Unified School District as identified in the school district’s School Facilities Master Plan and Financing Plan for the Black Mountain Ranch Subarea, which may or may not include participation in school facilities financing with other surrounding development projects. The Poway Unified School District proposed establishment of a Mello-Roos community facilities district; however, some other mutually acceptable means could be employed. Proof of a final financing agreement and school site purchase agreement would be required prior to City Council approval of the Subarea Plan. School impacts would be reduced to below a level of significance by implementing the mitigation measures identified in the 1998 EIR. Because the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions and conceptual development footprint identified in the Subarea Plan, impacts to schools would be consistent with those previously identified, and the project would not result in any new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts beyond those previously identified in the EIR.
