CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS
The proposed residential development application is located on Parcels R5443010070,
R5443010220 and R5443010210. 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 756 entitled units (0 single-
family and 756 multi-family) approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location resulting in
approximately 441 school-aged children.
