mitigation measures, the Program EIR concluded that the Redevelopment Plan will result in a
less than significant impact. 67 No analysis of nonresidential population impacts on police
services was provided.
PROJECT IM:PACTS
As discussed in Section 4.8 of this Addendum, Population/Housing, the DreamWorks
Animation Campus is expected to employ 1,400 new employees at project build-out. Based on
a worst-case analysis, this results in 140 new residents in the City of Glendale. This total
increased population would result in a need for an additional .14 police officer.68 Because
the proposed project results in the need for additional officers, which would reduce the officer
to resident ratio to a slight degree, the proposed project would result in an adverse impact to
police protection. However, as with the Redevelopment Plan, with implementation of the
mitigation measures proposed below, the project impact will be considered less than significant.
Although the demand for additional police protection is included in the Redevelopment
Area projections of 2.0 officers, a worst case analysis is provided as follows to evaluate the
projects's increase in police service needs as if it were an increase above and beyond the total
Redevelopment Plan needs identified in the Program EIR. Under this analysis, Restricted
Industrial development assumptions for the original 12.21 acre site (per Assessor's parcel data)
were interpolated from the Redevelopment Plan. Using the Program EIR's average intensity
assumptions (FAR) for Restricted Industrial uses on a 12.21 acre site (excluding the Victory
Truck Boulevard right-of-way), would support 1,070 employees and result in 112 new residents
to the City. This total increased population would result in a need for an additional 0.11 police
officers.
Based on the evaluation, the proposed project allows for an increase from the averaged
growth projection for residential population of 28 (from 112 to 140), as compared to the
averaged density assumptions. This increase represents a statistically insignificant 1.3 percent
of the total residential population anticipated with the Redevelopment Plan, which also is well
within the expected range of outcomes for a buildout redevelopment program over 35-years.
This difference would indicate a need for an additional 0.04 police officers. This is a small
demand on its own, as well as a small percentage of the 2.0 additional officers required with
the entire Redevelopment Plan.
