Initial Study & Checklist continued3. Schools? (EHS, ESD, PLN) X4. Maintenance of public facilities, including roads? (EHS, ESD,PLN)X5. Other governmental services? (EHS, ESD, PLN) XDiscussion- All Items:The probable environmental effects of the various project elements will include an increase in the demand forfire/emergency medical and law enforcement services with the construction of additional development. There willbe an increase in student enrollment and an increased burden on public facilities with the construction of additionaldevelopment. The EIR for this project will include an analysis of the public service impacts and provide mitigationmeasures to address any impacts of the proposed project.XIV. RECREATION – Would the project result in:Environmental Issue1.

An increase in traffic which may be substantial in relation tothe existing and/or planned future year traffic load and capacityof the roadway system (i.e. result in a substantial increase ineither the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratioon roads, or congestion at intersections)? (ESD)2. Exceeding, either individually or cumulatively, a level ofservice standard established by the County General Planand/or Community Plan for roads affected by project traffic?(ESD)3.
