• <br /> Potentially <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Unless less than <br /> • Significant Mitigation Significant <br /> Impact incorporated. Impact No Impact <br /> • <br /> Comments: <br /> a) The proposed project implements land uses set forth In the Downtown TOD Strategy. It is consistent with the City's effort <br /> to encourage jobs, services and other uses near transit in such a way as to reduce overall area vehicles miles traveled <br /> and the consequential air pollution and other environmental impacts that result from automobile use. The impacts <br /> associated with any direct or indirect population increases as a result of the project were analyzed in the TOD Strategy <br /> EIR that was certified in September of 2007. The proposed project, as a development project occurring under the TOD <br /> • Strategy,is required to comply with the General Plan Policies and the Mitigation Measures Master List set forth in the TOD <br /> Strategy EIR,thereby resulting in no significant impacts for population and housing. <br /> b) The proposed project would include development on a parcel that is currently vacant and has been previously graded and <br />• disturbed. No housing units are currently located on the site.Therefore,the construction of replacement housing would <br /> not be necessary since no housing units or residents will be displaced with project implementation. <br /> c) The proposed project would include development on a parcel that is currently vacant and has been previously'graded and <br /> disturbed. No development exists on the site.Therefore,the construction of replacement housing would not be necessary <br /> since no housing units or residents will be displaced with project implementation. <br /> XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES. <br /> Would the project result in substantial adverse physical Impacts associated <br /> with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities,need for • <br /> new or physically altered government facilities,the construction of which could <br /> cause significant environmental impacts,in order to maintain acceptable <br /> service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the <br /> public services: <br /> a) Fire protection? X <br /> • <br /> b) Police protection? X <br /> c) Schools? <br /> X • <br /> d) Parks? <br /> X <br /> e) Other public facilities? <br /> X <br /> Comments: <br /> a-b: Implementation of the proposed project would result in a direct and indirect increase in employed persons and visitors to <br /> the project site over current conditions.This intensification of use may necessitate the acquisition of new or additional <br /> equipment and hiring of additional personnel in order to adequately maintain acceptable standards of fire and police <br /> protection. As evaluated in the TOD Strategy EIR that was certified in September 2007, new development occurring <br /> under the Strategy would be required to follow the Policies and Mitigation Measures Master List of the Development <br /> and Implementation Guidelines chapter within the TOD Strategy document that Incorporates various General Plan <br /> policies and mitigation measures. <br /> Mitigation Measure#17: The minimum levels of service standards for police and fire response times shall be <br /> maintained In accordance with General Plan Policy 45.01. <br /> Mitigation Measure#18: The applicant shall Incorporate lighting,landscaping and other design features that <br /> reduce the potential for crime and facilitate rapid response to emergency calls In accordance with General <br /> Plan Policy 45.06. <br /> Implementation of Mitigation Measures#17 and 18 reduces potential Impacts to a less than significant level. <br /> c-e: The project will not significantly impact schools,parks or other public facilities as the developer will have to comply with <br /> City and School District development fee policies that have been created to mitigate development impacts city-wide <br /> and district-wide. <br /> • <br /> 22 <br />
