project would not result in the need fox, new or physically altered police protection <br />facilities. Thus, impacts are less than significant. <br />• Schools: The project would develop residential units, which would house school children. <br />The need for additional school facilities is addressed through compliance with school <br />impact fee assessment. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65995 applicants shall pay <br />developer fees, which provides full and complete mitigation of school impacts. As a result <br />impacts related to school facilities would be less than significant. <br />• Libraries: Due to the increase in residential population that would result from the project, <br />the Santa Ana library would need approximately 3,665 book volumes and 488.6 square feet <br />of library space. This limited increase would not require the City to construct new or <br />expanded library facilities. Thus, impacts would be less than significant. <br />2. The project would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts related to public services. <br />Consistent with the requirements of the project, the related projects would be reviewed by OCFA <br />staff prior to permit approval and would be required to implement fire protection design features per <br />OCFA regulations that would reduce potential fire hazards to a less than significant level. In regards <br />to police protection services, the project would not combine with other related projects to result in a <br />need to expand or provide new police facilities, which could result in a significant environmental <br />effect. Therefore, cumulative impacts associated with police services would be less than significant. <br />In regards to school services, payment of development impact fees to school districts constitutes full <br />mitigation for the impacts generated by new development, per the Government Code Section, which <br />would reduce potential impacts related to the projects cumulative school service impacts to a less <br />than significant level. Furthermore, development of the project in combination with other residential <br />developments would increase the demand for library services. However, based on the limited <br />increased need to book volumes and library square footage, the project is not anticipated to combine <br />with other projects in the City to result in the need to physically expand facilities. Thus, no <br />significant cumulative impacts on library services are anticipated. <br />B. Findings <br />The City finds that: <br />The Heritage Mixed Use project would not result in a in a significant impact involving the need for new <br />or physically altered fire, police, school, or library facilities; the constriction of which could cause <br />significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or <br />other performance objectives. Thus, public service related impacts would be less than significant, and <br />no mitigation measures are necessary. <br />Parks and Recreation <br />A. Facts <br />1. The project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision <br />of, or the need for, new or physically altered park facilities.
