..,.., {JIIZ 6. Transportation and Access: - Access to the site is facilitated by it's location on Hopkins St. and connecting hike and bike trails. In addition the public transit system will provide access from more distant residential areas of San Marcos. 7. Consumption of Energy Resources: Limited use of energy resources will be needed in the construction of the racquetball facilities. In addition some energy resources will be consumed by the public transportation system services. 8. Socio-economic Effects: The construction of recreational facilities for the rapidly growing population in San Marcos is of great importance. The construction of this facility will provide services to a wide variety of individuals. The project will allow low income and minority groups the opportunity to have access to an exceptional recreation experience at a minimal expense. In addition the construction of such facilities will provide at risk youth programs with badly needed resources to help the youth of San Marcos. l\r1itigating Measures for Adverse Impacts: The completion of the indoor racquetball facilities are not expected to n~gatively impact the surrounding environment or local community. Since no adverse impacts are anticipated, no mitigation measures have been explored. Unavoidable Adverse Impacts: The only potential impact from the project would be on local air quality due to increased traffic along Hopkins St.. This impact is unavoidable and minimal when compared to the benefits of this project. Alternatives to the Proposed Action: In considering this project only two alternatives were considered. The first plan considered was a to construct the external shell and finish the racquetball courts as funds became available (No Action). If this plan was selected, greatly needed recreational facilities would be denied to the citizens of San Marcos. We select the alternative 'plan to finish the racquetball facilities in the San Marcos Activity Center.
