4.P Parks

Similarly, any new residential projects would be subject to the same park space requirements.
Therefore, it is anticipated that the future demand for local parks would be accommodated by
privately-funded park space (via compliance with the LACC park requirements), and the project
would not result in a cumulative impact on local park space.

Existing regional park space is sufficient to accommodate the projected 2017 population
of the project’s Subregion Area. Assuming that there will be no increases in the acreage of
regional park space, there will be 15.1 acres of regional park space per 1,000 residents in 2017,
which would still exceed the County’s standard for regional park space within the Subregion
Area. Furthermore, beyond meeting local park land requirements, the proposed project would
provide approximately two miles of hiking trails, eight miles of bike lanes, 2.2 miles of trail
easement associated with the Mint Canyon Trail, along with dedication of approximately 1,355
acres of open space for the Skyline Ranch Conservation Area which is expected to have some
allowance for public access. Thus, given that the project fully mitigates its impacts and would
not have a cumulatively considerable effect on demand for parkland, no cumulative impacts on
regional park space would occur in combination with other projects identified in Chapter 3.0,
Cumulative Impact Analysis Methodology.
