Sexlinger Farmhouse and Orchard Residential Development Project CEQA Findings impacts or lead to substantial physical deterioration of park facilities. Therefore, this impact is less than significant. (EIR, p. 5 -63, 5 -64; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p, 8.) 2. Impact: Would the project require construction or expansion of recreational facilities which may have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp, 5 -63, 5 -64; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 8.) Analysis: The project would result in an increased demand for recreation services and facilities, specifically in Portola Park, adjacent to the project site. However, the increase in demand resulting from 22 new residences is not anticipated to result in the need to construct new facilities. Therefore, this impact is less than significant. (EIR, p. 5 -63, 5- 64; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 8.) M. TRAFFIC I. Impact: Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a design feature? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -98; January 2014 EIR Attachment, pp, 8 -9.) Analysis: The project does not propose any design features that would pose a hazards to traffic. As a result, this impact is considered less than significant. (EIR, p. 5 -96, 5 -97.) N. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS 1. Impact: Would the project exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) Analysis: Orange County Sanitation District ( "OCSD ") is the service agency providing wastewater treatment for the City. The OCSD treatment plant has capacity to serve the project's projected wastewater generation, which is 7,440 gallons per day or less. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant, (EIR, p. 5 -100.) 2, Impact: Would the project require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Finding: Less Than Significant. (EIR, pp. 5 -99 through 5 -101; January 2014 EIR Attachment, p. 9.) Analysis: OCSD is the service agency providing wastewater treatment for the City. The OCSD treatment plant has capacity to serve the project's projected wastewater generation, which is 7,440 gallons per day or less. The City is served by its own municipal water system, with the majority of the water supply obtained from groundwater and the remainder purchased from imported sources.
