Discussion Would the project: a. increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational factlitles such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No Impact. The City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency provides about 322 acres of parkland within 35 city parks, which is equivalent to nearly an acre of parkland per 1,000 residents. City parks range from 0.1 acre to 23 acres in size. The City also includes four joint-use parks and 19 recreational facilities available to the public. Five of the City's 35 parks are located within 1 mile of the proposed project site, including Jerome Park (14 acres), Friendship Park (0.1 acre), Spurgeon Park (2.1 acres), Windsor Park (12 acres), and El Salvador Park (11 acres). An increase in the use of existing parks and recreational facilities typically results from an increase in housing or population in an area. The project would not result in an increase in housing or residents in the project vicinity; thus, an increase in population using the existing community recreation facilities would not occur. Further, the project is not anticipated to increase the use of existing recreation facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of recreation facilities would occur, nor would the project require construction of new recreation facilities. Thus, impacts on recreation would not occur. b. Include recreational facilities or require the construction of or expansion of recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact. The proposed project would redevelop the existing religious and meditation uses on site. The project does not include the development of any recreational facilities. In addition, and as described in XV.a., the project would not result in impacts or otherwise require expansion of existing recreation facilities. Therefore, the proposed project would not require the construction or expansion of other recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment. As a result, impacts related to recreation would not occur. The Rat Nha Buddhist Meditation Center 3-81 one cuao Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration ICr OOU5.12 31 C-135
