Public speakers: Roy Alvarado, Santa Anita Neighborhood Association, requested consideration of impacts on community service resources requiring more police officers to handle the impacts associated with 75 people moving in. The neighborhood association would like to participate with this project to ensure that the City provides the services required to accommodate additional residents. Chairman Mondo closed the public hearing. Commissioner Lutz inquired about crime statistics and how the SAPD addresses new development and neighborhood concerns. Officer McCoy cited the potential impact on call for service for number of units proposed is an insignificant impact on the police department. Police Department tends to look at higher density developments that would require mitigation measures. Chairman Mondo clarified that the higher number of people brings a higher number of calls. Commissioner Cribb inquired if any attempts were made to coordinate this development with the neighborhood association to contribute to the open space needs. Staff indicated no. The project was introduced to the Riverview West Neighborhood Association. Chairman Mondo asked if the developer is required to pay a park fee? Staff indicated there is a fee for acquisitions for new park land or capital improvements in an existing park and that the fee is distributed accordingly. Commissioner Lutz complimented the developer for bringing an attractive development project into the area that will encourage the neighborhood to reinvest in their homes. Motion: 1.
