Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the following public services: • Fire Protection • Police Protection • Schools • Parks • Other Public Facilities 4.17.3.2 Methods of Analysis Public service impacts related to Project construction and operational increases in employment population and land use intensity were evaluated based on information provided by the fire departments, police departments, and school districts with jurisdiction.This information addressed service capabilities, service ratios, response times, and performance objectives. 4.17.3.3 Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures Impact 4.17-1: The proposed project would result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities. Impact Determination: less than significant Threshold: Substantial adverse effect on the environment associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities needed to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objects for public services. According to the Economic Assessment of Demand and Urban Decay in the Stockton Area for Proposed Gill Medical Center Report(King 2020;Appendix 1), the Project is expected to generate approximately 800 onsite well-paying jobs, but does not propose new housing. This job growth could result in a potential indirect influence on the local population and place demands on parks in the area. However, the Project area currently experiences a "leakage" of medical related jobs and patients seeking care due to the lack of nearby health care facilities. Leakage describes the phenomena of seeking a good or service outside of one's trade area (typically near one's residence or possibly near one's place of work).With regard to the medical care industry, many medical industry practitioners (especially nurses)who reside in San Joaquin County do not necessarily practice there, but rather work in these two alternative trade areas where there are more hospitals and medical office buildings.Therefore, most jobs generated by development of the proposed Project are expected to be filled by existing residents in the Project area. Fire Services The proposed Project would require fire protection by Waterloo-Morada Fire District, but would not result in significant impacts as defined in the thresholds of significance.The Project site is not located in or near Public Services 4.17-3 October 2021
