The Santa Ana Police Department would provide police <br />protection services for the proposed project. The West End Sub-Station, located at 3750 W. <br />McFadden Avenue, (City of Santa Ana Police Department 2007) is the closest police station <br />to the project site. Although the proposed project may increase the population at the project <br />site by increasing the permanency of housing provided on site, it is not expected to place a <br />significant added burden on the Santa Ana Police Department. Additionally, the department <br />is currently patrolling the project site and surrounding areas. Emergency vehicle access for <br />the project would be provided to the project site via Alton Avenue. Prior to final site plan <br />approval, the applicant would submit plans to the department for review of compliance with <br />applicable safety regulations. The project would not require new or additional police facilities. <br />Impacts would be less than significant. <br />Schools <br />Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. School services in the City are <br />provided by the Santa Ana Unified School District. The demand for new schools is generally <br />associated with population increases or impacts on existing schools. The proposed project <br />would increase the number of children housed at the project site, and therefore would <br />increase the number of students attending schools. Based on the average family size in the <br />City of Santa Ana-two parents and 2.72 children-the project is anticipated to generate 103 <br />total children. Census 2000 data indicates there are 127,603 children under the age of 19 <br />living in Santa Ana (U.S. Census Bureau 2000: Matrix P14). Using this information, 86,671 <br />children are considered school age (between the ages of 6 and 19) (U.S. Census Bureau <br />2000: Matrix P14); this is approximately 68% of the population of children in Santa Ana (U.S. <br />Census Bureau 2000: Matrix P14). Of the 103 total children assumed to live at the proposed <br />project site, approximately 70 would attend either elementary, middle, or high school (U.S. <br />Census Bureau 2000: Matrix P14). The project applicant would be required to pay <br />development school impact fees to offset the increase in school population that would result <br />from the proposed project. Impacts would be less than significant after payment of school <br />impact fees. <br />PS-1. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant will pay school mitigation fees <br />based on project student generation rates in compliance with SB 50 and Section <br />17071.10 of the Education Code. Compliance with the provisions of SB 50 is <br />deemed to be full and complete mitigation of impacts of a development project <br />on school facilities. <br />Parks <br />Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The demand for parks is generally <br />associated with the increase of housing or population in an area. The proposed project <br />would increase the population that uses parks, which may increase demand on existing <br />parks. The project applicant would be required to meet park requirements through the <br />payment of a parkland acquisition and development fee. The impacts would be less than <br />significant after payment of park impact. <br />PS-2. Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant will pay a parkland acquisition <br />and development fee or participation in off-tract park construction to minimize <br />impacts on existing parks. <br />Alton Court August 2007 <br />Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration 3-37 <br />J&S 00635.07 <br />75A-103 <br />
