<br />The project site is within the boundaries of the Santa Ana <br />Unified School District (SAUSD). Presently, overcrowding exists <br />at nearly all schools within the SAUSD. The proposed project <br />would not directly generate additional school service demand <br />within the SAUSD. However, it is possible that future employees <br />associated with the proposed proj ect could locate into Santa <br />Ana. Therefore, the proposed proj ect could indirectly generate <br />additional students and cumulative impacts to schools within <br />SAUSD. <br /> <br />To help fund new construction of school facilities, SAUSD levies <br />the maximum State approved impact fee of $0.33 per square feet <br />of commercial area. The paYment of fees to the district would <br />mitigate impacts on school services to a level considered less <br />than significant. To insure paYment of school services, the <br />following mitigation measure shall be implemented. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measure <br /> <br />. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project <br />applicant shall submit evidence to the City of Santa Ana <br />Building and Planning Department that appropriate school <br />impact fees have been paid. <br /> <br />Parks, Other Facilities: Less Than Significant Impacts <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana presently operates 35 facilities within <br />its parks and recreation network, along with several public <br />school grounds. The park and recreation facilities within the <br />City of Santa Ana include 342.5 acres of land, which is <br />equivalent to approximately one acre per 1,000 residents. <br />According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the <br />City's current goal for parkland is 2.0 acres per 1,000 <br />residents. Based on the Cities current parkland goal and <br />existing parkland to population ratio, additional parkland is <br />needed to meet the park and recreation needs of the community. <br /> <br />Implementation of the proposed proj ect would not increase the <br />population in the City and would not contribute to the imbalance <br />of the parkland/population ratio in the City. Therefore, <br />implementation of the propose project would result in less than <br />significant impacts to park services and other facilities within <br />the community. <br /> <br />XIV. RECREATION <br /> <br />A. Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood <br />and regional parks or other recreational facilities such <br />that substantial physical deterioration of the facility <br />would occur or be accelerated? <br /> <br />27 <br /> <br />75ArS7 <br />
