2.5 Public Facilities and Services Police Protection Impact: Police protection in open space area The City finds that the project in general will increase police protection demand and specifically could result in police protection problems in the open space corridor along Happy Valley Creek. This is a potential significant impact (Draft EIR, page Proposed Mitigation Measures of the EIR The EIR identified the following mitigation measures which would substantially avoid this police protection impact. 7-1 Add police protection services (Draft EIR, page 7-1). This would occur under the City's normal budgetary/personnel process, thus, no mitigation required. 7-2 Establish Homeowners Association/Police Department liaison (Draft EIR, page 7-2). Through a "Neighborhood Watch" program, this requirement will be adequately fulfilled. Said mitigation measures were considered and adopted with any pertinent changes in Condition 7-1, Exhibit "B" of the City Council staff report dated June 16, 1992. Finding: Mitigation Measure 7-2 Feasible and Required The City finds that it is feasible to mitigate this impact to a less-than-significant level by requiring the applicant and successors in interest to incorporate the specific provisions of Mitigation 7-2, as discussed above, into the project design. The applicant and successors in interest shall incorporate such police protection impact reduction provisions into project design as a "Condition of Approval" to the project. Fire Protection Impact: Potential wildfire danger to project residences The City finds that project residences could experience wildfire hazard from existing off-site open space along the 1-680 project frontage and from the open space corridor along Happy Valley Creek. This is a significant impact (Draft EIR, pages 7-2 and 7-3). Proposed Mitigation Measures of the EIR The EIR identified the following mitigation measure which would substantially avoid this fire protection impact. 13
