CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS
The proposed residential development application is located at Assessor's Parcel Number
S1201223115. This section of the memo looks at cumulative impacts over a broad area and
provides entitlement data in areas affected by the subject application. The following
information is intended as a reference, rather than a decisive tool, and serves to forecast the
number of school-aged children, enrolled in both public and private schools, using city-wide
census data. Within the last five years, there have been 543 entitled units (245 single-family
and 298 multi-family) approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location resulting in
approximately 317 school-aged children.
