Chapter 2 CEQA Findings Level of Significance after Impact Statement Evidence/Rationale Supporting Findings Mitigation Measures Findings Mitigation PUBLIC SERVICES Impact 4.10-1 Construction of new projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) would increase the demand for fire protection services, but it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities to accommodate the increased demand or maintain acceptable response times. Impact 4.10-2 Operation of the proposed project would increase the demand for police services, thereby requiring additional staffing, although it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities or personnel to accommodate the increased demand. Construction of new projects pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code would increase the demand for fire protection services, but it would not require the construction of new or physically altered facilities to accommodate the increased demand or maintain acceptable response times. However, implementation of the MM4.10-1 would ensure that appropriate steps are taken during project design such that all necessary fire safety features would be in place and available to the SAFD during a call for service. Additionally, individual projects would be required to pay Fire Facility Fee per the City's Municipal Code. The direct population increase associated with build out of the proposed project would increase the demand for police services, reducing the existing officer-to- citizen ratio and potentially resulting in the need for additional personnel and possibly equipment. Compliance with applicable regulations and guidelines and implementation of MM4.10-2 and MM4.10- 3 would substantially reduce this impact to less than significant levels by requiring safety plan preparation and reserving emergency services frequency. MM4.10-1 Prior to an issuance of a building permit, individual projects in the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) area shall perform a water supply, fire flow test and fire protection system design analysis to ensure that proposed projects are in accordance to meet standard fire protection design requirements. MM4.10-2 Any development that would exceed two stories in height shall submit site- specific security plans to the SAPID for review prior to issuance of a building permit. MM4.10-3 No developer within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) boundaries shall utilize a frequency of 800 MHz, which is reserved for emergency services. Finding 1 The Agency finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR.
