A new sheriff's substation in the Mountain House Town Center,located in Specific Plan I area,will be constructed after construction of the Town Center is complete.Until that time,the County Sheriff will have an office in the new fire station to be developed in the Specific Plan I area at the comer of Central Parkway and Mascot Boulevard. New County Sheriff officers would be based at the County Sheriff station in French Camp,at the new Mountain House fire station in the Specific Plan I area,and in the Mountain House Town Center.The County Sheriff's average response time decreased from approximately 30 minutes from 2001 to 2002 to 23 minutes from 2002 to 2003.For Beat Area 8, the average response time is less than 20 minutes from the time the dispatch call is issued to the time the officers are on scene(Huber 2004).The project would not reduce the average response time that is provided now.The project would result in a less-than-significant impact regarding the provision of law-enforcement services. .. Mitigation Measure 4.4-6: Public Services—Additional Demand for Law-Enforcement Services. No mitigation is required. IMPACT Public Services—Additional Demand for Public Library Facilities. The project would result in the 4.4-7 construction of residential units that would result in the demand for public library facilities. A new library .. would be constructed in the MHMP area that would serve the College Park project under the MHMP. A less-than-significant impact would occur. ` The project would generate approximately 6,906 new residents at buildout.The associated demand for public library facilities would be 3,453 sf,based on the standard of 0.5 sf per resident stated in the San Joaquin County General Plan 2010. SSJCPL recommends a standard of 0.7 to 1.0 sf per resident,based on its existing level of service.Based on SSJCPL's standard,the project would require a minimum of 4,834 sf of additional library space. The Tracy Branch Library serves the project area and their service demand already exceeds available facility capacity.The current square footage of facility space per resident ratio is 0.24.Based on the standards established in the County's General Plan,the Tracy branch library is currently considered to be inadequate. SSJCPL does not propose any new library facilities in the vicinity of the project(Stanke 2004). The project includes the development of a community college that would be developed with a library that would primarily serve college students but would also be open to the public.However,the library in the community college would not provide services targeted at the general public and is not considered to be a public library for the purposes of this analysis. The MHMP includes provisions for the development of a branch library to serve the future residents in the entire MHMP area.According to the MHMP,library facilities would be provided on a phased basis, with a bookmobile ` providing initial library services until the population in the MHMP area reaches 10,000 residents.At that time,a library of 5,000 sf would be constructed,and in response to population increases the library would be expanded to provide additional space.At the buildout of the entire MHMP area,a library totaling 21,000 sf would be operational in the Town Center Area,which is located in Specific Plan I area.Equipment,books,and periodicals would be provided according to County Library System standards(SJCCDD 1994a). The demand for library services generated by the project would be met by interim library services and eventually by the branch library that would be constructed in the Town Center.For these reasons,it is anticipated that library services and facilities would be available to serve the project.The project would result in a less-than-significant impact regarding the provision of library services.
