General Plan, Municipal Code, and the Quimby Act are not intended for application to the employment population of a proposed development, applying the Municipal Code standard of 4.5 acres of park land per 1,000 population to workers in the CPP and CPP-V scenarios would result in a presumed need for 66.2 and 66.7 acres of park land, respectively. By comparison, the CPP and CPP-V scenarios provide 330 acres of parks and open space in addition to the lagoon and lagoon perimeter. Thus, sufficient open space to meet the needs of workers would be provided by the CPP and CPP-V scenarios.

While there would be no residents living within the Project Site under the CPP and CPP-V scenarios, it is nevertheless recognized that employees working at the Project Site could use recreation and open spaces in Brisbane during certain times of the day (e.g., lunch breaks) and immediately after work. However, because employees at the Project Site would have limited opportunities to use recreation and open spaces during working hours, they would typically use parks and recreational facilities for informal activities during weekday lunch breaks and immediately before and after work. These weekday times do not represent the peak hours for park use, which occur on weekends and holidays when workers are not present. Because of the limited times available to workers for recreation, and therefore they would tend to use only parks and recreational areas that are in close proximity to their place of work, with the exception of ball fields used for organized team sports (i.e., softball and other athletic leagues). In cases where parks are not in close proximity (walking distance), increases in employment do not affect park use. As a result, increased employment within the Project Site would not be expected to result in the use of existing parks and recreational facilities to a degree that degradation of such facilities would occur. Further, proposed recreational amenities would be available for use by Project Site employees. Therefore, no substantial degradation of recreational facilities would occur under the CPP or CPP-V scenario.
