Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Harbor View Project PAGE 16 OF 48 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT A REV: 11-02-2022 VR DEIR, since the Revised Project is smaller than evaluated in the DEIR (generating 3,061 employees compared to 4,579 employees). Therefore, the Revised Project, in combination with cumulative development, would not substantially contribute to significant unplanned employment growth. The impact would be less than significant. (DEIR pp. 4.11-9 to 4.11-10; FEIR p. 2-16.) 4.12 Public Services Impact PSR-1: The Project could result in an increase in calls for police services, but would not require new or physically altered police facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable performance objectives. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-1: The DEIR identified that no aspect of the Revised Project, specifically the new employee population and development on the site, would result in a substantial increase in calls for police services. Also, it is likely that the proposed commercial office development may have private security services typical of this type of land use and businesses likely to occupy the Project building. Therefore, the change with the Project would not warrant the construction of new or physically altered police facilities to maintain current service ratios, although additional staff or equipment may be warranted. Further, the Revised Project is a smaller scenario than evaluated there (generating 3,061 employees compared to 4,579 employees, and 765,150 square feet of office use compared to 1,144,748 square feet). The impact would be less than significant. (DEIR p. 4.12-8; FEIR p. 2-16.) Impact PSR-2: The Project could result in an increase in calls for fire protection and emergency medical response services, but would not require new or physically altered fire protection or emergency medical facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable performance objectives. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-2: The DEIR identified that no aspect of the Revised Project, specifically the new employee population and development on the site, would result in new demand that would warrant the construction of new or physically altered facilities to maintain current service ratios of fire and emergency medical response services. Further, the Revised Project is smaller than evaluated in the DEIR (generating 3,061 employees compared to 4,579 employees, and 765,150 square feet of office use compared to 1,144,748 square feet), which would reduce impacts from those identified in the DEIR. Also, the Revised Project would comply with all local and state fire and safety codes and requirements, including adequate water facilities and resources. Also see Impact TRANS-20, below. The impact would be less than significant. (DEIR p. 4.12-9; FEIR p. 2-16.) Impact PSR-3: The Project could result in new students for local schools, but would not result in the need for new or physically altered school facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, to maintain acceptable performance objectives. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-3: The Revised Project would pay fees towards school facilities under SB 50, which are considered full and complete mitigation of school facility impacts. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. (DEIR p. 4.12-10; FEIR p. 2-16.)
