1	Staff’s Recommendation: Certify the Parkside EIR Analyzes the potential environmental impacts Identifies project alternatives Identifies mitigation measures to lessen the project’s impacts
2	“Analyzes the potential environmental impacts” General conclusion that “The increase in the number of residential units and the number of individuals brought into the area, as well as the resulting increase in traffic will directly affect the fire department's responses.” (Parkside EIR Errata) Vague mention that “additional impacts are anticipated with relocation of the [Heil] fire station.” (Parkside EIR Errata)
3	Maybe, maybe not: the Response Time Shuffle “the Fire Department is confident that Station 6 is capable of meeting the 5 minute emergency response time required.” (Staff Report 9/10/02) “There may be some locations in the area of the Parkside Project that remain outside of this standard [for Station #6].” (Staff Report 9/24/02)
4	Edwards Response Time Estimates
5	“Identifies project alternatives” No project/no development Development under existing zoning Alternative location Alternative park site location Alternative roadway connections Reduced density alternatives (4) Development incorporating the existing fire station designation is NOT included in EIR!
6	“Identifies mitigation measures to lessen the project’s impacts” Alarms Sprinklers Traffic signal Implementation of Mitigation Measure 1, “additional fire code requirements,” if necessary
7	Types of Calls to H.B.F.D. (by percentage)
8	Parkside EIR fails on all 3 counts: It does NOT adequately analyze the potential Public Services environmental impacts to surrounding homes. It does NOT identify a project alternative incorporating a fire station. It does NOT identify mitigation measures to lessen the project’s Response Time impacts to surrounding homes, nor does it identify any medical safety mitigations.
