Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR Fire Protection Services The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that development consistent with the Housing Element Update could result in an increased demand for fire protection services, and, as this demand increases, there may be a need to increase staffing and equipment to maintain acceptable service ratios, reflex times, and other performance standards. This would require existing fire stations to be able to accommodate the additional staff and/or equipment. If an existing fire station is at capacity for staffing, this could require an expansion of an existing fire station or construction of a new fire station, the construction of which could cause environmental impacts. The project- specific environmental impacts of constructing new or expanded fire protection facilities to support the growth anticipated as part of the Housing Element Update cannot be determined at the time of certification of the Housing Element Update FEIR because the designs of future new or expanded facilities are not known. It can be expected that construction and operation of future new or expanded fire protection facilities would have similar impacts, as would construction and operation of other types of new development consistent with the Housing Element Update. The General Plan includes policies and programs to ensure that fire protection services keep pace with new development. As the City receives development applications for subsequent development consistent with the Housing Element Update, those applications will be reviewed by the City for compliance with the policies and programs of the General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan to ensure that fire protection services keep pace with new development. In addition, the Municipal Code, which implements the General Plan, would be reviewed when development applications are received. Through implementation of the capital facilities fee, developers would be responsible for payment of any improvements
