XI, (S 1100) NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ELEMENT Two residential developments have been constructed within the Project area boundaries. These developments are commonly known as Bridgeport and the Oakwood Garden Apartments. With the expansion of the Project area boundaries, an existing trailer park and several commercial establishments, and undeveloped property designed for both commercial and residential uses will be brought into the Project area. The impact of the Project upon present and future residents and businesses is addressed in this section of the Plan. Items that are addressed include relocation, traffic circulation, environmental quality, community facilities and services, school population and quality of education, property assessments and taxes and the physical and social quality of the neighborhoods. Relocation. It is perceived that residents of a substandard trailer park in the project area will have to be relocated. Many of the residents of this trailer park are elderly and live on relatively low, fixed incomes. It is intended that these residents be relocated in a new trailer park/mobile home park proposed to be developed on a portion of the existing trailer park site and on adjacent undeveloped property. It is perceived that the new facility will provide a site for rehousing a majority of the current trailer park residents. It is envisioned that the new facility will contain approximately 100 spaces for travel trailers and mobile homes. Several businesses are located on one of the commercial sites proposed to be included within the Project area boundaries. If Agency activities require relocation of these businesses, then relocation assistance will be provided as required by law. Traffic Circulation. The circulation plan in the Project area is consistent with the circulation plans of the city. The development of certain vacant property will increase traffic levels on certain streets. However, the additional demand has been taken into consideration and therefore should have minimal impact on existing neighborhoods. Community Facilities and Services. As vacant property is developed a higher level of service will be required due to the increase in population. The City and Redevelopment Agency will be able to meet the additional service demands. Additional public facilities will be provided to benefit both the Project area and the area outside the Project's boundaries.. Certain public improvements that are being evaluated include relocation and construction of a new police facility and city corporation yard, construction of a new library and acquisition of additional open space and recreational facilities.' School Po u1ation and ua1it of Education. The number of children residing in the project area 1S re1at1ve1y sma 1. There will be some increase in the school age population as new development occurs. The State reimburses school districts for revenue that is lost because of redevelopment agency activities. It is not anticipated that there will be any detrimental impact upon the quality of education because of redevelopment agency activities. I J I . , Property Assessments and Taxes. Property assessments and taxes should continue to increase because of development, redevelopment and appreciation of property. Environmental, Physical and Social Quality. The physical-social quality of the Project area will be enhanced by implementation of the Plan. Low and moderate income residents should be permitted to relocate in a new trailer park/mobile home park facility, additional open space areas will be acquired to improve the quali~y of the environment and new public facilities will be provided. The implementation of this Plan is consistent with the policies of the City's General Plan.
