4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />RR SS-1: New residential and commercial development shall pay development fee <br />authorized by Section 65996 of the California Government Code to be "full and complete <br />school facilities mitigation." <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The Project would have the potential to generate approximately <br />307 new elementary school students, 176 new intermediate school students, and 226 new high <br />school students, for a total of 709 new students. All three Santa Ana Unified School District <br />schools serving the project site have enrollment capacity to serve the Project at buildout. In <br />addition, the Project would be required to pay developer/impact fees pursuant to Senate Bill 50, <br />which would further reduce potential impacts to school services. Pursuant to California <br />Government Code Section 65995, payment of development fees would provide full and complete <br />mitigation of school impacts. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.11-17 — 4.11-18.) <br />Threshold LS-1: The Project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts <br />associated with the provision of new or physically altered library facilities, <br />the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in <br />order to maintain acceptable service ratios and response times or other <br />performance objectives for library services. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less -than -significant impacts to public <br />services related to library services. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.11-18 — 4.11-20.) <br />Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirement <br />(Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.11-6): <br />RR LS-1: New residential development shall pay a property excise tax per the City <br />Municipal Code Section 35-114, Residential Development Tax. <br />Explanation of the Rationale: The Project would be consistent with the land use designations <br />proposed in the GPU PEIR; thus, no new substantial unplanned growth would occur that was not <br />previously analyzed in the GPU PEIR. Nonetheless, the anticipated growth generated by the <br />Project would increase the demand for library services in the City. However, through compliance <br />with the policies regarding the payment of residential development tax and property taxes, which <br />would contribute to the City's general fund that could potentially be used for the expansion of the <br />existing libraries or construction of new library facilities, the Project's impacts on library services <br />would be less than significant. (Draft Supplemental EIR, pp. 4.11-18 — 4.11-20.) <br />Cumulative Impacts: The Project would not result in cumulative impacts concerning <br />public services. <br />Findings: The City finds that the Project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts <br />concerning public services.
