c) Would the project displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) As noted above, no existing housing will be displaced necessitating the construction of replacement housing. No new or more severe impacts than those analyzed in the FEIR will occur and, therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete. XIV. Public Services a) Would the project result in substantial adverse impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services? Fire Protection? Police Protection? Schools? Parks? Other Public Facilities? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The FEIR analyzed the impacts to the Santa Ana Unified School District based on the addition of approximately 787 students for the entire MacArthur Place project as approved in 2005. The Santa Ana Unified School District was experiencing severe overcrowding and mitigation was included in the FEIR requiring the developer to pay school impact fees in accordance with Senate Bill (SB) 50. The payment of fees will be required prior to the issuance of a building permit and no additional or more severe impacts than were previously identified will occur. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with regard to impacts on schools. The proposed project will require fire, police, and emergency services. Mitigation Measures in the FEIR were designed to minimize potential impacts to such services. The FEIR provides for coordination with public service providers to ensure their ability to serve the project. The project will have no new or more severe impacts to fire, police, and emergency services beyond those addressed and mitigated in the FEIR. Therefore, the FEIR remains adequate and complete with respect to this topic. XV. Recreation The FEIR provides for the payment of Park Acquisition and Development Fees, parkland dedication or in- lieu fee payments to reduce impacts to recreation facilities. a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks of other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) An evaluation of the impacts to recreation related to the project was presented in the FEIR. As noted in the FEIR, the proposed project will include on -site recreation amenities for residents and guests. As currently proposed, the amenities for the condominium component will now be located on the roof /deck of the parking structure rather than in ground -level courtyards as analyzed in the FEIR. Additional amenities beyond what was originally planned are now included, resulting in an additional benefit to residents. The project will have no new or more severe impacts beyond those addressed in the FEIR. Therefore, the FEIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to this topic.
