HARBOR BLVD. MIXED USE TRANSIT CORRIDOR PLAN FINAL FIR <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />5. Environmental Analysis <br />PUBLIC SERVICES <br />residential development and $0.54 per commercial and senior housing square foot. GGUSD may need to <br />place relocatable classrooms at each of the schools in this projects assigned attendance area to accommodate <br />this development. <br />5.11.3.4 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS <br />The project and other development within the GGUSD service area would generate additional students <br />resulting in the need to expand or construct new schools. As school district enrollments expand, short -term <br />and long -term plans must be made to accommodate the additional students. As stated above, the State <br />Legislature provided authority for school districts to assess impact fees for both residential and nonresidential <br />development projects. Fees collected in accordance with Education Code Section 17620(a) and Government <br />Code Section 65995(b) allows GGUSD to plan and construct for future growth. Although the fees are <br />seldom adequate to accommodate the true costs incurred by affect districts to construct new facilities the <br />Legislature has declared that the payment of those fees constitutes full mitigation for the impacts generated <br />by new development, per Government Code Section 65995. <br />5.11.3.5 EXISTING REGULATIONS AND STANDARD CONDITIONS <br />Government Code Section 65995 requires individual applicants shall pay developer fees to the appropriate <br />school districts at the time building permits are issued; payment of the adopted fees would provide full and <br />complete mitigation of school impacts. <br />5.11.3.6 LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE BEFORE MITIGATION <br />Upon implementation of regulatory requirements and standard conditions of approval, the following impacts <br />would be less than significant: 5.11 -3. <br />5.11.3.7 MITIGATION MEASURES <br />No mitigation measures are required. <br />5.11.3.8 LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE AFTER MITIGATION <br />Impacts would be less than significant. <br />5.11.4 Library Services <br />5.11.4.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br />The City of Santa Ana is served by the Santa Ana Public Library (SAPL). There are two libraries in the <br />project area: 1) the Main Library at 26 Civic Center Plaza and 2) the branch library of the Newhope Library <br />Learning Center at 122 North Newhope Street. The Newhope Library Learning Center is nearest to the <br />project area, approximately 1.5 miles to the southwest. Both the Main library and the Newhope Library <br />Learning Center would serve as the primary libraries for use by the residents of the project area. <br />Page 5.11 -10 PlaceWorkr <br />
