use already and inquired how staff arrived at "Less Than Significant Impact" and how the additional residents would be served. Ms. Stern replied that the information in the General Plan is based upon a general analysis. She stated that with respect to the number of acres of park per person, there may be needs specific to this area as the City grows which could be looked at in designing the individual developments or the entire PUD. Mr. Dolan stated that a park could be part of the PUD modification and that it is fairly likely that in reviewing parks per person per acre, the City rates very well against the standard; however, the City may decide that it needs more park space. Commissioner Narum stated that the developments are proposed to have less car dependency, which may mean that some members of the family will not have access to a vehicle. She noted that this would make it more difficult for family members to access a park somewhere else in the City that does not have as much use as those in the Business Park. Mr. Dolan stated that this could be incorporated into the PUD process. Commissioner Olson stated that he thought, given the number of additional residents and children, the requirement for more parks and schools would have to be built into the PUD process. Mr. Dolan replied that there will be the Hacienda PUD Master Plan process and the subsequent, actual PUD process, both of which staff will go through. He added that the Commission will have to look at potential outcomes and come up with some alternatives because the park demand will be different if ultimately an office application is received. Commissioner Blank inquired if each property would have its own PUD process. Mr. Dolan said yes. Commissioner Blank commented that if he were a developer and was asked to develop a park, he would cite the Negative Declaration that states he would not need to do anything about parks. Mr. Roush explained that the Commission would have to distinguish between a situation of what the Negative Declaration is based on, which is the analysis under the General Plan EIR where it looked at a transit oriented development alternative, and whether it had any impact. He stated that this is generally true citywide and not only for the Business Park because community -wide impacts are looked at. He continued that during the Master Plan process, it may be necessary to provide additional park space within the Business Park in the PUD process.
