3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 SUMMARY ` San Joaquin County and Gerry N.Kamilos, LLC (GNK,LLC)are seeking adoption of the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan Ill hereafter referred to as College Park(proposed project).The specific plan area (project site)is located in the southwest comer of unincorporated San Joaquin County, approximately 3 miles ` west of the City of Tracy and just northeast of the intersection of the Interstate 205 (I-205)and Interstate 580 (I-580)(Figure 3-1). College Park is the third of three specific plans proposed under the Mountain House Master Plan(MEW),which was adopted by the County in 1994(Figure 3-2). Specific Plan I(Specific Plan 1)was approved in 1994 and is currently under development. Specific Plan II(Specific Plan II)is currently under environmental review. Specific 6. Plan III(i.e.,College Park)is the subject of this Draft EIR. College Park would permit development of approximately 815 acres in the southern portion of the MHMP area.It r includes all or a portion of three of the 12 neighborhoods envisioned under the MHMP(i.e.,Neighborhoods A and B,and the eastern portion of Neighborhood D, (Figure 3-3).The County; GNK,LLC;InvestWest Matthews Land, hie.;and Delta College are the joint project applicants in that they are seeking specific entitlements as part of the proposed project. Other property owners (Pegasus,Hernandez,Mendoza,etc.)are not seeking specific ` entitlements and are not project applicants. The College Park project is a mixed-use project(residential,neighborhood commercial, office commercial,light industrial, school,park, and community college).The proposed project includes changes (i.e.,amendments)to the land uses previously approved for the site in the MHMP.These proposed changes have resulted from more detailed site analysis and planning,changes in market conditions,the relocation of kindergarten through 8th grade (K-8) school sites because of the presence of electrical transmission and high pressure gas-line easements that bisect the project site, and the purchase by the San Joaquin Delta College District(SJDCCD)of a portion of the site for a community college.The proposed project also includes project-level development proposals(i.e., tentative tract maps)for portions of the project site. Two community focus workshops(on June 25 and September 24,2003)and a California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)scoping meeting(on September 24,2003)were conducted to obtain community input on the proposed project and EIR scope,and to refine the project design,where appropriate,in accordance with community input. The College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan Ill document is bound separately and is available for review by the public at the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, 1810 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton,California 95205. 3.2 PROJECT LOCATION As indicated in Figures 3-3 and 34,the 815-acre College Park project includes Neighborhoods A,B and the eastern portion of Neighborhood D,which are located in the southern third of the MHMP area.Neighborhoods A and B are bounded by Grant Line Road to the north,I-205 to the south,Mountain House Parkway to the east, and the Alameda County line to the west.The eastern portion of Neighborhood D within College Park boundaries extends from approximately 500 feet south of Mascot Boulevard in the north to Grant Line Road in the south,and from Mountain House Parkway in the east to approximately 1,820 feet west of the centerline of Mountain House Parkway.A portion of Neighborhood D is within the boundaries of Specific Plan II.
