CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON SCHOOLS
The proposed residential development application is located at 6575 S Locust Grove Road. 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 3,508 entitled units (3,320 single-family and 188 multi-family)
approved within a 1-mile radius of the project location resulting in approximately 2,048 school-
aged children.
