I a SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT INITIAL STUDY PROJECT TITLE: STORMWATER.HIGH SCHOOL AND FIRE STATION FACILITY AMENDMENTS TO MOUNTAIN HOUSE GENERAL PLAN MASTER PLAN AND SPECIFIC_PLAN 1 FILE NO.: GP-00-10,MP-00-02,SP-00-02 APPLICANT: MOUNTAIN HOUSE COMMUNITY SERVICE DISTRICT AND TRIMARK COMMUT,UTIES 4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The new community of Mountain House includes 4,791 acres or about 7'/2 square miles of area and is located in southwestern San Joaquin County.The boundaries of the Mountairi House are Interstate 205 on the south,Old River on the north,the Alameda County line on the west and Mountain House Parkway and Wicklund Cut on the east. The city limits of Tracy are about 3'/2 miles to the east.The proposed map amendments are located north of Byron Road,adj acent to Mountain House Creek and Old River. The Mountain House Community Services District (CSD) and Trimark Communities are applying for land use, stormwater facility, fire station and school facility amendments to the Mountain House Master Plan and Specific Plan I in order to achieve internal consistency with the CSD Storm Water Master Plan and a new location for a permanent fire station. The storm water amendments specifically call for the addition of designated lands, in the form of site specific locations for permanent retention basins to serve as "Water Quality Basins", as called for in the CSD Storm Water Plan. These basins are proposed in accordance with policies contained in the Master Plan as well as State and Federal guidelines for treatment of urban storm { water run-off prior to discharge into receiving waters of the United States (Mountain House Creek and Old River). The General Plan is being amended to utilize the Master Plan map for the community plan of the General Plan. The accompanying land use amendments are proposed in order to acrfmmodate the retention basins. These land use amendments involve the deletion of an second high school site north of Byron Road and minor adjustments to residential areas aJacent to the proposed basins. The deletion of the second High School is consistent with the Mitigation Agreements between the Tracy Union School District and Trimark Communities, based on a lack of projected need for two high school sites, as was previously anticipated by the District and adopted in the Master Plan. The other residential land use amendments do not change the acreage or density of required residential development; rather they move the existing designation locations slightly to accommodate the basins.
