City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist project would not increase noise levels and cumulative noise impacts associated with project - related traffic is less than significant. Likewise, Section X11, "Noise," describes the onsite noise generators of the proposed project, which includes outside activity areas, equipment, and parking lot noise. As described in Section X11, proposed activities on the project site would not result in significant noise impacts, and no mitigation measures are required. Similarly, the noise generated on the project site is not anticipated to substantially increase the ambient noise environment and would not be cumulatively considerable when combined with other foreseeable projects. Population and housing The cumulative study area for population and housing includes all of Orange County because the project is intended to serve youth currently residing throughout the County. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects are not anticipated to result in a cumulative population and housing impact in conjunction with the proposed project. The housing provided by the project would not increase the overall number of housing units in the City because the project would only provide group housing for students at the school. The project will not develop single- or multi- family residential units. Additionally, the proposed project would not induce substantial population growth because the 80 students that will reside onsite are current residents within Orange County. The project is focused on Orange County foster youth and would not introduce families or students to the area from outside of Orange County. As a result the project would not result in cumulative impacts related to housing. Additionally, because of the current job market, unemployment rate, and recent budget cuts that have affected school employees throughout California, the project is not anticipated to result in the need for employees to be relocated from distant areas. The project would not necessitate the need for construction of new housing or result in substantial population growth. Furthermore, the proposed project's impacts related to cumulative population and housing are less than significant. Public Services and Recreation The geographic setting for cumulative impacts to public services includes all areas within each public service provider's service area, or within the service areas of the SAFD, SAPD, Garden Grove USD, and the City of Santa Ana for parks and recreation services. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects have and would continue to be required to comply with existing regulations and existing fee structures regarding public services and impacts within the service areas for each of the City's public services are less than significant, and also not cumulatively considerable. The City's Municipal Code includes provisions for providing appropriate public services for development and residents throughout the City. The proposed project would be required to contribute a fair -share contribution to fire protection fees, pursuant to City Municipal Code (Resolution No. 6461), the City's Building Security Ordinance and CPTED principles for police protection services. As such, the proposed project's incremental contribution to public services impacts would not contribute to a cumulative impact. Utilities and Service Systems Cumulative impacts on utilities can result from the combined demand of the proposed project with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects on any of the utilities for which the proposed project may have impacts.
