Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.13 Public Services• Create the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the constructionof which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintainacceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives• Directly remove or otherwise adversely affect the operation of an existing or plannedpark or recreational facility• Increase the use of existing parks and recreational facilities such that substantialphysical deterioration would occur or be accelerated. The potential for physicaldeterioration of existing parks may be considered substantial if the amount of newparkland in the City is insufficient to meet the projected demand associated withprojected population growth (based on the current City standard, park demand is 10acres per 1,000 new residents)• Require the construction or expansion of parks or other recreational facilities thatmight have adverse effects on the environmentWith respect to school enrollment, impacts associated with new development would beconsidered significant if it is anticipated that individual developers would not pay Statemandated school impact fees (pursuant to Section 65995(h) of the California Government Code[Senate Bill 50, chaptered August 27, 1998], the payment of statutory fees “...is deemed to be fulland complete mitigation of the impacts of any legislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving,but not limited to, the planning, use, or development of real property, or any change ingovernmental organization or reorganization”)b. Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures.Impact PS-1Development facilitated by the Project would add an estimated1,833 residences within the Project Area. This increase wouldplace additional demand on fire protection services, but wouldnot create the need for new or expanded fire protectionfacilities. Impacts would therefore be Class III, less thansignificant.Development facilitated by the Project would increase the demand for fire and emergencyservices in the Project Area. Facility and staffing levels are based on achieving the desired fourminuteresponse time, which varies (at least in part) according to fire personnel staffing levels,the placement of fire stations in relation to service areas, and the density/layout of land usesand development within a service area. As discussed in the Setting, Fire Station #6 is locatedwithin the Project Area (10797 Darling Rd) and would be able to provide fire protection servicesto the Project Area within the VFD’s desired four-minute response time. Therefore,development facilitated under the proposed Project would not require the construction of a newfire station. Development impact fees collected from applicants of development projectsfacilitated under the Project could be used as necessary for the purchase and maintenance ofequipment.As the Project continues to be developed with new or intensified urban uses it would increasethe need for adequate fire flow for fire protection purposes. The provision of the necessarywater supply infrastructure necessary to serve new development is assessed in Section 4.13,Utilities. In summary, the City will adopt capital improvement programs which identifyimprovements to the water supply system necessary to maintain fire flow and domestic service.4.13-11City of Ventura
Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.13 Public ServicesAs new development is proposed, a project specific assessment of water demand and thenecessary improvements to serve that demand will be undertaken. Backbone water supplyinfrastructure would be funded by development impact fees charged to new development.Implementation of 2005 General Plan Action 7.13 would provide the requisite funding for newfacilities and equipment needed to serve the Project Area through 2025, including facilities andstaffing needed to serve development facilitated under the Project. No new stations arerecommended for the Project Area. However, additional equipment for Fire Station 6 toaccommodate Project Area development would be achieved through the collection of impactfees charged to new development. Additional staffing would be funded through the City’sgeneral fund from taxes generated by new development.Mitigation Measures. No measures required so long as funding as required by 2005General Plan Action 7.13 is provided concurrently or in advance to the demand for new fireprotection facilities and staffing.Significance After Mitigation. Impacts would be less than significant withoutmitigation.Impact PS-2Implementation of the Project would facilitate an increase inpopulation within the Project Area. This would placeadditional demands upon police services. However, because theincrease in demand would not create the need for new VPDfacilities, impacts would be Class III, less than significant.Development facilitated by the Project would increase the demand for police protection servicesin the Project Area. This demand increase would increase the number and frequency of calls forservice.Police protection services are not “facility-driven;” that is, police protection services are not asreliant on facilities in order to effectively patrol a beat. An expansion of, or intensification ofdevelopment within, a beat does not necessarily result in the need for additional facilities ifpolice officers and patrol vehicles are equipped with adequate telecommunications equipmentin order to communicate with police headquarters. However, if the geographical area of a beatis expanded, population increases, or intensification/redevelopment of an existing beat resultsin the need for new police officers, new or expanded facilities could be needed.To maintain the current ratio of 1.21 police officers per 1,000 residents, the population growthfacilitated by the Project would require an additional six police officers. a As described in theGeneral Plan EIR, new development that could occur outside of the existing City limits (e.g., theUpper North Avenue, North Avenue corridors, or Saticoy corridors) would not require theconstruction of new facilities. However, additional telecommunications equipment (e.g., radios,cell phones, and computers) would be required to effectively patrol these areas. Additionalequipment and facilities needed to accommodate additional police officers would be fundedthrough the collection of impact fees charged to new development. Additional staffing woulda Based on a population increase of 4,711 residents in the Saticoy & Wells Project Area.4.13-12City of Ventura
