OALITOAN[A existing school facilities would be potentially signifrcant.'llierefore, the Approved Project required the Applicant to pay school impact fees in effect at the time of issuance of building permits to theappropriate school district (Mitigation Measure PS -1). While the Revised Project's increase in school children into the SAUSU would result in a decreased demand on school facilities as compared to the Approved Project, the Revised Project would also be required to comply with Mitigation Measure PS -1 whieh`would reduce impacts to schools to less than significant. The Revised Project would not resultin"new sibmificant impacts beyond those identified in the Certified! HIR. No new mitigation measures are required.. (iv) According tgthe City's General Plan Open Space, harks, ,ind Recreation Element (1982), the City has appioxunately 400 acres°of public park and recreation ftacilities. The City maintains a ratio and has adopted a standard of approximately two acres of openspace per 1;000 residents.'flre addition of approximately 135 residents.generated-by the Revised Project could incrementally increase usage of City parks and recreational facilities. Using the City's ratio of two acres per 1,000 residents, theadditional residents would require 0.37 acres of parkland, which is 0.09 percent of existing park area in the City: Id addition, Chapter 341 Article 8'of the City's Municipal'.Codewas adopted to implement the provision§, of the Quimf y Act (Slate of California Planning and Zoning Law, Section 66477), which allows_ the- lcatslativcb6dyof a city to require the dedication or land,ror park facilities ur d+or the payment of in lieu fees for park and recreational purpn es'as a condition to the for a Final tract map or parcel map for, certain subdivisions. The Revised Project would be subject to the dedication of land for park facilities and/or the payment of in -lieu fees for park and recreational purposes. The Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 34-2041 Requirements, states that the subdivider may be required to dedicate land for park- and recreational purposes at the time of approval of a tinal subdivision map. The Ceriftied ELR concluded that the Approved Project would result in less significant impacts with respect to park -facilities through die provision of onsite private space and the payment of park dedication fees. The Revised Project would be, required to comply width Mitigation Measure PS -2, as outlined in the Certified Ella to ensure the payment of parkland fees to reduce impacts associated with increased demands on park facilities to less than significant. The Revised Project would not result in new significant impacts beyond those identified in the Certified EiR. No new mitigation HICUSUreS are required, ('v) Electricity. The Certified SIR concluded that the Approved Project's demand for electricity would be approximately 1.8 million Kilowatt-hour (kWh) per year based on a generation rate of 5,626.50 kWlilunitiyear for residential uses and 10:40 kWhlsquare feevyvar for church uses.'llie Revised Project includes the development of 42 single-family dwelling units on the Project site and a reduction is square footage of the church campus. Using the same generation rite provided in the Certified SIR, the Revised Project would result in an annual electricity demand of 236;313 kWh. The Certified SIR concluded that the Approved Project's electricity demand would be within the context of the overall electric demand within Southern California and the State, and would neither result in;a substantial increase in demands beyond available supply, nor require the expansion of power facilities. It is assumed that the Revised Prgject would incorlidrate Title 24/Catifomia Green Building Cpdc - re( juiru-ment to ensure that the Revised Project wbuld not result in inef iciew, wasicrul and/or unnecessary.consumptionof electricity: Compliance with Title 24/California Green Building Code requirements would reduce impacts to electricity to less than significant.
