7C Page 53 H. Parks and Recreation Services Impacts Potential Impact 10-8: The new residents resu[ting from the project's 796-unit residential companent would increase the demand far local parks and recreationai services. The City has not adopted a citywide parks sfandard; however, in order to maintain the City's current parks rafio of 1.7 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, approximately 2.82 acres of additional improved parkland at a lacation or locations so as to be available for use by project residents would be required to serve the parlc needs of the projected 1,660 project residents; currently, no improved parkland exists within a convenient waiking distance (e.g., less than 1/2- mile} of#he project site. The proposed project includes approximately 2.79 acres of on-site public park area in the form of a community park adjacent to Bair Island Road and twa"overlook parks" adjacent t� Redwood Creek. Additional on-si#e public open space v�ould incfude pedestrian and bicycle paths, promenades, and a prapased �ink to #he planned San Francisco Bay Trail e�ension (no#yet designed}. Project effec#s on City parks and recreation services would represent a pofenfially significant impacf. Mitigation 10-8: As part af Precise Plan formulation for the project, the City's C�mmunity Development Services Department and Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department shall decide what credit would be applied taward meeting the project`s parks and recreatian needs, based on a total projected need of approximately 2.82 acres of additionaf improved parkland, through provision af the on-site community park, two"overlook parks," other public open space, and the proposed link to the planned San Francisco Bay Trail extension. !f determined necessary by the City, the developer shall revise the project site plan to incorporate on-site parkland with amenities sufficient to serve the project residents, or pay the City-adopted Parks Impact Fee (per City;O�dtnances 2�7 and'28�) to make-up the difference. Findings: lmpiementation of �his mitigation measure is feasible and would reduce project impacts on park facilities and recreational programs to a less-fhan-significanf level. I. Solid Waste Diversion Impacts Po#ent9al lrnpact 10-9: Due #o the 100-to-120-foot height af ten of the praject bui(dings, the project has the potential to conflict with state-mandated requirements for 50 percent solid waste stream diversion if residen�s find the locations of recyciing bins to be too distant or inconvenient. Site and project plans submitted at this time do not provide enough detaiE to deterrnine if adequate �rovisions for recycling have been included in project design. If adequate recycling provisions are not uftimateiy inc(uded, ihe project coufd conflict with state- mandated waste s#ream reducfion requirements, represenfing a pofenfially significant impact. Mitigation 10-9: The final project architec#ural design shall include chutes far recyclable materials immediately adjacent to the garbage chutes, or at another suitable location approved by the City, in the ten tallest residential buildings. Bins for storage of recyclables shafl be provided for each residential unit in these buildings. The City shafl ensure that these provisions are included in project constructian prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Findings: Implementation of this measure is #easible and wauld reduce the irnpact to a less-fhan-srgnificant 1eve1. Atty/Reso/Reso.'1772 3Z 321307
