8.B. - Page 79 <br /> 4.15 RECREATION <br /> 4.15.1 Existin� Settin� <br /> Redwood City has appro�mately 225 acres of park facilities including mini-parks,neighborhood <br /> parks, community parks, special use parks, and sports fields on public school property. In addition to <br /> parks the City manages four community centers which offer opportunities for fitness and classroom <br /> activities. The City also has one senior center,two outdoor pools that are operated during the <br /> summer months, and several recreational bicycle paths including access to the regional Bay Trail. <br /> Although bicycle facilities are provided along many roadways,the bicycle network in Redwood City <br /> does not serve the project area. The City Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services <br /> is responsible for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of City recreational facilities. <br /> 4.15.2 Environmental Checklist and Discussion of Impacts <br /> RECREATION <br /> Less Than <br /> Potentially Significant Less Than <br /> Significant With Significant No Impact Beneficial Information <br /> Impact Mitigation Impact Impact Source(s) <br /> Incorporated <br /> Would the project: <br /> 1) Increase the use of existing � � � � � 1,2 <br /> neighborhood and regional parks or <br /> other recreational facilities such that <br /> substantial physical deterioration of <br /> the facility would occur or be <br /> accelerated? <br /> 2) Does the project include recreational � � � � � 1,2 <br /> facilities or require the construction <br /> or expansion of recreational facilities <br /> which might have an adverse physical <br /> effect on the environment? <br /> The addition of appro�mately 13 residents41 to Redwood City would not result in accelerated <br /> deterioration of local recreational facilities or the need for new recreational facilities. As discussed <br /> in Section 4.142.3,the project would be required to pay in-lieu fees pursuant to the PIO. The project <br /> would also be required to comply with General Plan policies which require the payment of fair share <br /> contributions to be used towards the cost of new/improved public facilities. <br /> Implementation of the proposed project would have a less than significant impact on recreational <br /> facilities within the City. (Less Than Significant Impact) <br /> 4.15.3 Conclusion <br /> Implementation of the proposed project would not result in accelerated deterioration of local <br /> recreational facilities or the need for new recreational facilities.
