200 Police Protection The City of Santa Aha police Department h~i~ {ndicated that the construction and operation of the project would increase the frequency of calls the Police Department would be require~ to respond to; however, not to a level of significance. In order to mitigate the police protection impacts of the proposed project, the following mitigation measures have been identified in the environmental impact report: The applicant shall provide an on-site security system for the office towers and the parking structure that includes alarms and other communications devices. The Police Department has indicated that one on-site private security officer may be required to patrol the parking structure and one officer may be required to patrol the remaining buildings. The specifics of such measures shall be approved by the City Police Department prior to the granting of final occupancy permits. 2. Other security measures (i.e., lighting, gates, etc.) shall be implemented as outlined in the City's Building Securit_v Ordinaneg Manual. Implementation of the above mitigation measures will reduce the level of police protection impacts to a level of insignificance. Cumulative Impacts Impacts anticipated from development of the project would combine with those impacts generated by past, present, and foreseeable future projects in the vicinity of the project site. These projects are located within the jurisdiction of the City of Santa Ana and the other jurisdictions including the Cities of Tustin, Orange and the County of Orange. These projects range from office developments, to a car wash, to car dealerships, to single-family residential developments. Because these projects are located in relative proximity to to the project site and would potentially impact the same public service areas as the proposed project, it was concluded that these projects had the greatest potential to affect the project site's surrounding environment, and would provide an adequate and realistic forecast of future environmental conditions. The EIR identifies the following cumulative impacts that would be expected to remain at a level of significance after mitigation: 1. Traffic Implementation of all the cumulative projects (including the proposed projec0 would result in deterioration of local traffic at study intersections. 2. Air Ouality Implementation of all the cumulative projects (inclUding the proposed project) represents a substantial increase in regional development. In addition to contributing to local short-term particulate levels during construction periods, these projects would increase the amount of pollutants in the region over the long-term. Because such emissions would worsen air quality in the South Coast Air Basin which does not presently meet federal air emissions standards as directed by the Clean Air Act, air quality in the region would be significantly impacted.
