Police protection services in San Joaquin County are provided by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department, with its station in the community of French Camp. The Sheriff's Department has more than 800 sworn and support personnel working in eight divisions, including the Field Forces Division that provides patrols. The project site is within the boundaries of the Stockton Unified School District. The Stockton Unified School District provides education from transitional kindergarten to 12th grade, along with Head Start, adult, and special education programs. It operates 54 schools within the Stockton area — 39 elementary schools, six high schools, and nine specialty schools (City of Stockton 2018). As noted in Section 3.9, Hazards, the nearest school is Hamilton Elementary School. The Stockton Unified School District requires payment of development impact fees from development projects to cover capital costs for new or expanded school facilities, in accordance with State law. San Joaquin County, through its Parks and Recreation Department, owns and operates nine parks in the unincorporated Stockton area. The nearest County park to the project site is Kennedy Park and Community Center, adjacent to and north of the 3009 Pock Lane site. The City of Stockton, through its Community Services Department, also provides park and recreational services. The nearest City Park to the project site is Reverend Holmes Park, approximately 0.6 miles southwest of the project site. Section 3.16, Recreation,provides more information on these parks. Libraries in San Joaquin County and the City of Stockton have merged to become the Stockton-San Joaquin County Public Library system. The library system has 15 branches in nine communities; seven of these branches are in Stockton. The nearest library branch to the project site is the Maya Angelou Branch Library at 2324 Pock Lane, approximately one-quarter mile north of the project site. This library offers computer workstations and printers for general and Internet use, a reference collection for in-depth research, and a circulating collection of library materials. Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures a-i)Fire Protection. The project is anticipated to place demands on fire protection services by the Montezuma Fire District. The Fire District has indicated that the project could be served without new or expanded facilities. The Fire District charges an impact fee of$0.35 per square foot of residential development for future development of District facilities (Ed Martel electronic mail), which would be subject to CEQA review. Project impacts on fire protection services would be less than significant. a-ii) Police Protection. The project has the potential to increase calls for law enforcement services from the project site, as a mostly vacant site becomes more active. No new or expanded Sheriffs Department facilities that could have a potential environmental impact would be required to meet anticipated demands for law enforcement services. Project impacts on police protection services would be less than significant. Pock Lane Public Review Draft IS/MND 3-58 May 2022
