Summary of Impacts Identified in the GPU EIR ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ The Final Recirculated GPU EIR addressed public service impacts on pages 5.14-1 1 through 5.14-47. The GPU EIR The GPU would introduce new structures and allow for up to 22,361 new residents and workers in the OCFA and Santa Ana Police Department service boundaries, thereby increasing the requirement for fire protection facilities and personnel, as well as increasing the service needs for the Main Library and the Newhope Library Learning Center. The GPU would also generate additional students who would impact the school enrollment capacities of the Santa Ana Unified School District, Garden Grove Unified School District, and Orange Unified School District. However, upon implementation of regulatory requirements and standard conditions of approval the GPU would not create significant impacts related to fire protection services, police protection, library services, or school services. Impacts Associated with the Proposed Project The proposed Project would remove the existing 3 office buildings that total 103,031 square feet and develop one new light industrial building that would be 91,500 square feet and would accommodate two tenants. Based on the GPU buildout methodology, the existing office buildings generate 1 employee per 286 square feet, which would total 360 existing employees on the site at full occupancy. The GPU buildout methodology identifies that warehouses generate 1 employee per 800 square feet. Thus, full occupancy of the proposed Project would generate 114 employees, resulting in a reduction of 246 employees on the site. a) Fire Protection 85
