classrooms at District schools, it was concluded that potentially significant impacts would occur<br />
at all grade levels as a result <strong>of</strong> redevelopment activities. Because <strong>of</strong> the gradual rate <strong>of</strong><br />
increase in enrollment <strong>of</strong> 24 students per year, implementation <strong>of</strong> the Redevelopment Plan<br />
should not result in any unique or unusual demands on the District. In addition, nonresidential<br />
and residential development would result in the District receiving approximately $3,099,000 in<br />
developer fees from Redevelopment Plan activities. 77 The 468 new students generated by the<br />
Redevelopment Plan would, at $10,000 per student, require $4,680,000 in construction costs<br />
over the lifetime <strong>of</strong> the plan. While the developer fees would not be sufficient to cover all<br />
construction costs related to the new students, and the District would require additional State<br />
funds, the fees would substantially mitigate the effect <strong>of</strong> the additional students. Therefore, the<br />
Program Em concluded that the Redevelopment Plan would have an adverse, but less than<br />
significant, impact on schools.<br />
PROJECT IMPACTS<br />
The Campus is expected to generate 1,400 new employees, and approximately 140 new<br />
residents, in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong> at project buildout, as discussed in Section 4.8, Population!<br />
Housing, <strong>of</strong> this Addendum. Using the regional housing ratio <strong>of</strong> 1.22 jobs per housing unit in<br />
the year 2010, these employees would create a demand for 115 housing units in the <strong>City</strong>. This<br />
total housing demand is a worst-case scenario based on average <strong>City</strong> trends. 78 The Animation<br />
Campus is being proposed at this location in part because <strong>of</strong> the existing employee pool <strong>of</strong><br />
animators, managers, and other staff living within the <strong>City</strong> and in the surrounding communities.<br />
It is likely that many <strong>of</strong> the future employees will be drawn from this existing work force<br />
already living within a close conunuting distance to the project site and that these employees<br />
would find it uIlllecessary to relocate to the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Glendale</strong>. The actual increase in <strong>City</strong><br />
housing units would likely be less than the 115 projected..<br />
In the worse-case scenario, utilizing the student generation rate established by the<br />
District <strong>of</strong> 0.4 students per unit, the 115 total housing units resulting from the proposed project<br />
would increase the student population Districtwide by 46. To accommodate 46 new students,<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> new facilities may be necessary, resulting in an average total construction cost<br />
<strong>of</strong> $460,000. The proposed project would be responsible for development fees on the 495.000<br />
77 The total is based on the District's developer fees <strong>of</strong>$1.65per squarefeet <strong>of</strong>residential, and $0. 27persquare<br />
foot <strong>of</strong>non-residential development as indicated in the Program EIR. An average 1,000 square feet per unit<br />
is assumed for residential development.<br />
78 Program EIR, Final EIR Volume, page 3.8-3. states that 10percent <strong>of</strong>new employees in <strong>Glendale</strong> are expected<br />
to reside in the <strong>City</strong>.<br />
