3. PROJECT IMPACTS

a. Thresholds of Significance

For this analysis, impacts on recreational facilities and parks are considered significant if:

• The proposed project would not provide adequate park space and recreation
facilities as determined by the park space and/or “in-lieu” fee requirements of the
Los Angeles County Code (LACC);

• The project would result in a substantial decrease in the existing local park space to
population ratio;

• The project would conflict with local park and recreation policies or objectives;

• The project would physically interfere or conflict with existing parks and recreation
facilities;
