9.0 EIR Subject Areas Requiring No Change in Analysis Avion Project SEIR Page 9-8 9.10.2 Parks and Recreation The 1998 EIR concluded that the dedication of community and neighborhood park sites totaling 59 acres (both public and private), and the proposed dedication of 2,211 acres of resource and amenity public open space, would provide adequate park and recreation facilities for future needs of the development and nearby communities. No significant impacts were identified. Because the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions identified in the Subarea Plan, impacts to parks and recreational facilities 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. 9.10.3 Libraries The 1998 EIR concluded that the Rancho Peñasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, and Rancho Bernardo libraries would adequately serve the needs of the Black Mountain Ranch Subarea, and usage impacts to these libraries would not be significant. Because the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions identified in the 1998 EIR, impacts to libraries 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 previous EIR. 9.10.4 Police and Fire Services The 1998 EIR concluded that reasonable police response times to the subarea for routine and emergency calls-for-service are anticipated; therefore, impacts to police services are considered less than significant. Because the project is consistent with the land use and buildout assumptions and conceptual development footprint identified in the Subarea Plan, impacts associated with police services would be consistent with the analysis in the 1998 EIR. Relative to fire services, the 1998 EIR concluded that City Fire Department may or may not be able to provide first response to all portions of the subarea within six minutes. The 1998 EIR incorporated the following mitigation measure: Service letters from the City of San Diego Fire Department shall be submitted when building permits are applied for. If the Fire Department cannot respond within six minutes, then building plans would include fire sprinkler systems or other measures to the satisfaction of the Fire Department. Similar requirements would apply to all other development proposals in the Subarea. As a condition of approval, the project would be required to implement mitigation identified in the 1998 EIR MMRP for potential fire service response impacts. The project would not result in any new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts beyond those previously identified in the EIR. The project would add 84 detached multi-family residential units. The 2011 City Gate Associates’ study, which is the guidance document for San Diego Fire–Rescue Department’s future planning, includes a new planned fire station (#48) in this area to serve Black Mountain Ranch.
