Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project CEQA Exemption 15183 for additional staff, equipment, and facilities would come from property taxes, grants, special revenue funds, and the City's general fund as future development accommodated by the General Plan Update occurs. The additional demand for fire and police protection services due to population growth generated within the City would be satisfied through these sources. Additionally, the GPU EIR determined that school districts within the City would have the capacity to accommodate future students generated as a result of the proposed General Plan Update. Should there be a need to expand or construct new facilities, funding for new schools would be obtained from the mitigation fee program pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 50, and State and federal funding programs. Pursuant to Section 65996 of the Government Code, payment of school fees is deemed to provide full and complete school facilities mitigation. Further, while library services would also experience an increase in demand, property taxes and library fines and fees are expected to satisfy this impact; overall, impacts would be less than significant. 4.15.2 Project Analysis As discussed above, buildout of General Plan Update is projected to increase the population of the City beyond growth projections. However, the project would not contribute to population growth as the proposed district office would serve existing employees and the outdoor recreation areas would serve existing students. As such, the proposed project would not increase demands on existing public services. Additionally, compliance with RR FP-1 would ensure that the proposed project would meet the fire regulations outlined in California Health and Safety Code, and RR SS- 1 would ensure that the proposed project would pay school development fees authorized by Section 65996 of the California Government Code. The project would also generate property tax which further fund fire and police protection services and library services. Therefore, consistent with the General Plan Update, less than significant impacts would occur. 4.15.3 Conclusion As such, the project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR FP- 1 and SS-1 identified in the GPU EIR, the proposed project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the project or the site. There are no project specific impacts or potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts the GPU EIR failed to analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe impacts to public services than anticipated by the GPU EIR. Applicable GPU EIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR FP-1 New buildings are required to meet the fire regulations outlined in California Health and Safety Code (Sections 13000 et seq.). RR SS-1 New residential and commercial development shall pay development fees authorized by Section 65996 of the California Government Code to be "full and complete school facilities mitigation." 4.16 Recreation 4.16.1 GPU EIR Findings The GPU EIR concluded that buildout of the General Plan Update would generate the demand for approximately 564 acres of parkland and recreational facilities assumed to serve the 2045 population. The City is essentially built -out and very limited vacant land is available to be developed with new recreational opportunities. New or expanded facilities would need to occur Dec i y ouncil 26 —111 1/16/202 e 51
