SANTA ANA REZONE PROJECT <br />INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br />Environmental Issues <br />2.16 Recreation <br />a) Would the project increase the use of existing <br />neighborhood and regional parks or other <br />recreational facilities such that substantial <br />physical deterioration of the facility would occur <br />or be accelerated? <br />b) Does the project include recreational facilities <br />or require the construction or expansion of <br />recreational facilities, which might have an <br />adverse physical effect on the environment? <br />Environmental Evaluation <br />Setting <br />Less than <br />Significant <br />Potentially Impact with Less than <br />Significant Mitigation Significant No <br />Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br />❑ ❑ ❑ <br />❑ ❑ ❑ <br />According to the City's General Plan Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element, Santa Ana has <br />approximately 400 acres of public park and recreation facilities and strives to maintain approximately <br />2 acres of open space for each 1,000 residents. As stated above, in 2024 the ratio shifted to <br />approximately 1.3 acres of open space for each 1,000 residents. Currently, the City operates 49 parks <br />and recreational facilities as well as several school playgrounds.72 <br />a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or <br />other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility <br />would occur or be accelerated? <br />No impact. The proposed project includes paving of an existing overflow gravel parking lot and <br />associated access roadway. The proposed project is not residential in nature and would not result in <br />an increase in residents. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not increase the <br />use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial <br />physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated. As such, no impacts would occur. <br />72 City of Santa Ana. 2024. Parks Locations and Information. Website: https://www.santa-ana.orgparks-locations-and- <br />information/.
