South Coast Technology Center Project CEQA Exemption 15183 4.15.2 Project Analysis As discussed in Section 4.14, Population and Housing, the Project is not a residential project that would generate population growth. However, the Project would generate 425 employees, which would increase the daytime population on the Project Site and the corresponding demand for fire and police protection services. The proposed Project would comply with the California Fire and Building Codes, California Health and Safety Code, City ordinances, and applicable national standards and would require approval of Building Plan Check for Site Plan and Emergency Access as well as approval of a Fire Master Plan. The proposed Project would include gated driveways and security cameras, which would provide site security and minimize the demand for police services. Additionally, the proposed Project would comply with RR FP-1, which would ensure that the proposed Project would meet the fire regulations outlined in California Health and Safety Code. The Project would also generate property tax which further fund fire and police protection services. Therefore, consistent with the General Plan Update, impacts related to fire and police protection services would be less than significant. As the Project is not a residential project and it is anticipated that workers for the Project would be drawn from the existing City and regional workforce, the proposed Project would not generate school -aged children or a population that would increase demand for library services. As stated in the GPU PEIR, funding for school services would be obtained from the fee program pursuant to SB 50 and state and federal funding programs; funding for library services comes primarily from property taxes and library fines and fees collected from patrons, and state, federal, or government aid. The Project would pay fees pursuant to SB 50 (RR SS-1) and property taxes, which would offset any nominal demand for school or library services create by the Project. Therefore, consistent with the General Plan Update, impacts related to school and library services would be less than significant. Based on the above, the Project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts compared to the determinations of the GPU PEIR, which concluded that impacts related to public services would be less than significant. Therefore, no new project -specific mitigation measures are required. 4.15.3 Conclusion The Project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR FP-1 identified in the GPU PEIR, the proposed Project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the Project or the Project Site. There are no Project specific impacts or potentially significant off - site or cumulative impacts that the GPU PEIR did not analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe impacts to public services than anticipated by the GPU PEIR. 4.15.4 Applicable GPU PEIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR FP-1 New buildings are required to meet the fire regulations outlined in California Health and Safety Code (Sections 13000 et seq.). RR SS-1 New residential and commercial development shall pay development fees authorized by Section 65996 of the California Government Code to be "full and complete school facilities mitigation."
