Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed Project would develop 3,750 multi -family apartments, which would provide housing for families that have school children. As detailed in Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.1 1-5, the proposed Project would result in 1,678 students at full occupancy. As shown in Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.1 1-6, at buildout of the proposed Project, Jefferson Elementary School and Segerstrom High School may be over -capacity and additional or expanded facilities may be needed. However, the Santa Ana Unified School District Facilities Master Plan identifies that Jefferson Elementary School is planned for addition of a new two-story classroom building with 13,560 SF and 12 teaching stations; and Segerstrom High School is planned for a new 121035 SF career technical education classroom building. These planned school facilities would assist in meeting future student capacity needs. In addition, the need for additional school facilities is addressed through compliance with school impact fee assessment. The existing Santa Ana Unified School District development impact fee is $4.08 per square foot for all new residential development, and $0.66 per square foot for new commercial development. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65995 applicants shall pay developer fees to the appropriate school districts at the time building permits are issued; and payment of the adopted fees provides full and complete mitigation of school impacts. As a result, impacts related to school facilities would be less than significant, which is consistent with the findings of the CPU FEIR (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.1 1-16 through 5.1 1-17). Impact Finding: The Project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered library facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.1 1-20). Facts in Support of Findings: The proposed Project would develop 3,750 multi -family apartments, and a senior living/continuum of care use with up to 200 units, and a hotel with up to 250 rooms. Project buildout would result in approximately 9,238 additional residents, which would increase the demand for library services in the City. However, library use has declined due to the availability of online library materials and may continue to decline as the information available on the Internet increases exponentially over time (American Enterprise Institute [AEI], 2022). Property tax revenue generated by the proposed Project, as well as future and existing development, would contribute municipal funding that could be used by the City to construct future library facilities. However, the decision to construct any such facilities and the nature of any construction would be within the discretion of the City, as the entity responsible for such construction and operation of the library. As the proposed Project would be developed consistent with the buildout assumption for the site pursuant to the GPU, impacts to library services would be consistent with those identified within the CPU FEIR. Therefore, impacts to library services would be less than significant (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.1 1-20).
