City of Santa Ana Environmental Checklist Code includes provisions for providing appropriate public services for development and residents throughout the City. The proposed project would be required to contribute a fair-share contribution to fire protection fees, pursuant to City Municipal Code (Resolution No. 6461), the City's Building Security Ordinance and CPTED principles for police protection services. As such, the proposed project's incremental contribution to public services impacts would not contribute to a cumulative impact. Utilities and Service Systems Cumulative impacts on utilities can result from the combined demand of the proposed project with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects on any of the utilities for which the proposed project may have impacts. The geographic scope of the cumulative effect analysis of utilities depends on the service area and capacity of each utility provider and the amount of increased demand for utility services from the proposed project, as well as related projects; and if this combined demand could reduce the availability of utility services. The service areas of the OCSD (wastewater), Santa Ana Public Works Agency (stormwater), Santa Ana Public Works Agency Water Resources Division and Metropolitan (water supply), and OCIWMD (solid waste) encompass the project site and surrounding area. Many of the projects identified in Table 3-26 involve infill development that may result in additional demand on utilities and service systems. These projects would not likely require construction and/or expansion of utility lines on their respective sites, and would remain connected existing supply utility lines (usually in streets and other public rights-of-way). The construction of various utility lines is not expected to be carried out as part of the individual projects. As discussed in Section XVII, "Utilities and Service Systems," all utility service providers project to have adequate capacity to meet demands resulting from present and reasonably foreseeable future projects. The proposed project would result in less than significant cumulative impacts on utilities and service systems. The proposed project would not require expansion or construction of new stormwater drainage facilities. Implementation of the proposed project will include project design features identified in Response IX(a) that will minimize runoff off site flows to existing stormwater facilities. The proposed project would not result in increased water demands requiring new or expanded entitlements of water supply. However, the proposed project would result in an increase in water demand by 3,056 gpd of water which equates to less than 0.01% of the City's total water supply. Because the project would utilize less than 0.01% of the City's available water and a water surplus is estimated by the City's 2005 UWMP, impacts on the water utility would not occur and would not result in cumulative impacts. As discussed in Section XVII, "Utilities and Service Systems," the proposed project is expected to result in 155 gpd over existing conditions. While project flows would increase based on historic flows from the site, these flows will not be substantial in comparison to the treatment plant design capacity, the proposed project would not result in cumulative impacts on sewer of, wastewater treatment facilities. In summary, the project's incremental contribution to the service demands of the utilities serving the project area is less than significant. Further, the project's contribution to utility service needs is not cumulative considerable and the proposed project would not result in significant cumulative utilities and service systems impacts.
