Directly or indirectly contribute to substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities;the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts,to maintain acceptable service ratios,response times, or other performance objectives for any of the public services, including fire protection,police protection, schools,parks,and other public facilities. 4.4.4 IMPACT ANALYSIS ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The public services analysis that follows examines the potential changes in the provision of public services that could occur with the proposed land-use amendments to the MHMP.This was accomplished by researching the land uses approved under the MHIvIP and analyzing the changes to public services that would result under the proposed amendments. IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Based on information related to solid waste disposal capacities of the San Joaquin County South County Refuse _ Service Area,and because the proposed project would comply with all applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, adequate permitted landfill capacity exists to accommodate the proposed project.Therefore,in accordance with Section 15063(b)(1)(C)of the State CEQA Guidelines,the potential for the _ proposed project to impact solid waste disposal services is not evaluated further. See the IS(Appendix D of this Draft EIR)for further discussion. IMPACT Public Services—Additional Demand for Public Parkland. The proposed project would result in the ~ 4.4-1 construction of residences that would result in the demand for parks and recreational facilities. Sufficient neighborhood and community parks to serve project needs would be constructed as part of the project. San Joaquin County currently provides less than needed regional parkland in accordance with their standard, and the project would provide funding for less regional parkland than needed in accordance with County standards. According to the Mobntain House Specific Plan 11 Initial Study, findings of the MHMP Final EIR concluded that adequate recreational facilities(e.g., neighborhood parks, regional parks)were provided by individual local facilities in each Specific Plan area and that developers would pay for development and maintenance of the proposed 82-acre regional park at Old River.Additionally, the proposed project would provide sufficient parkland to serve the needs of future residents.A less-than-significant impact would occur. The project would generate approximately 6,906 residents(2,302 housing units •3.00 average persons/household _ (Census 2000). Based on this approximate future number of residents in the project site and in accordance with the MHMP standards (5 acres of parkland per 1,000 population),the proposed project would generate a demand for 34.5 acres of neighborhood and community parkland. The project would develop a 31.3-acre community park, a 2.5 neighborhood park,and another 8.5-acre neighborhood park.The development of these community and neighborhood parks totaling 42.2 acres would coincide with residential development and would meet the requirements of the MHMP standards. The neighborhood and community parkland would incorporate active and passive recreation facilities.Active facilities could include such facilities as a community pool,clubhouse,baseball fields, soccer fields,and basketball courts.Passive facilities could include open landscaped areas,turf areas, and picnic tables.The 8.5-acre neighborhood park would share 5 acres of parkland with the two elementary schools. A joint-use agreement between MHCSD and SJCCDD would provide an additional 7 acres of athletic facilities for community use. The 7 acres of athletic facilities could include adult baseball fields,adult soccer fields,tennis courts,basketball courts,and a fitness center and pool complex in conformance with the MHCSD Parks, EDAW College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR San Joaquin County 4.4-18 Public Services
