EXHIBIT A <br />9.14.6 New Recreational Facilities <br />Threshold: Does the Project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion <br />of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.10-14.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project includes recreational facilities that would be constructed and <br />operated as part of the proposed Project. In addition, access Option B includes repaving the Walkie Way <br />entrance to Santiago Park and the addition of landscaping that includes trees and ground cover in the park <br />and Project site entrance. The impacts of development of the recreational amenities and access options are <br />considered part of the impacts of the Project as a while and are analyzed throughout the various sections <br />of the DEIR. <br />Moreover, the Project would not require the construction or expansion of other recreational facilities that <br />might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. For the reasons discussed above and the reasons <br />discussed in the DEIR, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation <br />is required. (DEIR, p. 4.10-14) <br />9.14.7 Other Public Facilities <br />Threshold: Would the Project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the <br />provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or a need for new or physically altered <br />governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order <br />to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for other public <br />facilities? <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-8; Initial Study, pp. 54-55.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: As described in the Initial Study, other public facilities include libraries. <br />The City of Santa Ana Public Library includes two branches within 5 miles of the site. Library service <br />needs are changing with increasing resources being available online and the availability of high-speed <br />internet services and the new residences on the Project site do not necessarily result in an incremental need <br />for library facilities. A majority of the residential units would be equipped with internet access, which <br />provides access to many of the same resources provided by the library and would limit the increased need <br />for library services and resources. (Initial Study, pp. 54-55.) <br />For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts <br />associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, pp. <br />54-55.) <br />9.15 Transportation and Traffic <br />9.15.1 Conflict with Applicable Circulation Plan or with Applicable Congestion Management <br />Program <br />Threshold: Would the Project conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing <br />measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of <br />transportation including mass transit and non -motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation <br />Resolution No. <br />Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR <br />75E-83 <br />Page 45 of 71 <br />
