The 2 additional neighborhood rec centers will do nothing to alleviate the additional demand in this district for recreation services.
I think each district has about 6000? units. The area north of El Camino has one district and parts of two other districts, I think. So, we could be looking at about 12,000? units. So, from that perspective, 300 additional units is not a great increase in burden on the amenities. If the developer builds two additional pools, that would really help the pool situation in the north end.
