The stormwater-quality basin would contain a detention volume of approximately 15 acre-feet, at a depth of approximately 8 feet,with 2 feet minimum of freeboard. For purposes of analysis,it is assumed that the church would be a 20,000-square-foot facility, including a neighborhood church with 250-seat capacity, rectory, and administration facilities, as well as parking for 83 cars (3:1 seat-to-parldng ratio).Provisions for shared parking and appropriate scheduling could potentially allow for the development of several church classrooms pending zoning compliance.It is anticipated that approximately 50%of the site would provide parking,with the balance for church facilities and open space. 3.8.8 LANDSCAPE COMPONENT The landscape component of the College Park project would include distinct landscape zones within which consistent landscape treatments would be provided(Figure 3-9). The landscape concept for the College Park project is designed to provide an identifiable character for the Mountain House community. The proposed project includes plans for an Open Space Corridor,which would link the community park, neighborhood parks, schools,and play areas through a series of greenbelt corridor connections. The generous use of native and naturalized species would be promoted to provide a rustic,informal character and sense of transition from the Mountain House community to the San Joaquin County"countryside." Landscape and hardscape would be used to reinforce other community design elements(architecture,walls/fences,and entry monumentation). Individual neighborhoods would be distinguished by varied planting themes,although still united by a common regional character.Windbreak landscape treatments would be used,as required, in the parks, schools, and other areas to establish visual points of reference and provide protection from the prevailing winds in the area. Landscaping would be provided consistent with the landscape requirements of the MHCSD Design Manual.The landscaping concept for the each of the proposed landscape zones is summarized below. See the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III document available for review at the SJCCDD for further description(including cross sections and plant palettes). STREET CHARACTER All streets in the neighborhoods would have curb-separated sidewalks with continuous tree planting, consistent with the MHCSD Design Manual OPEN SPACE CORRIDORS The landscape concept for the open space corridors would consist of informal groupings of mixed canopy and flowering deciduous trees predominately located around the perimeter areas of the community park. The proposed open space corridor connections along the power-and gas-line easements would continue to the neighborhood parks and extend into the school play areas. All landscaping would comply with the MHCSD Design Manual. All intact landscaping,utility rights-0f--way,and all other landscape areas that were not included in the original MHMP,as defined by the MHCSD,in the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III area will require a funding mechanism.These areas will require establishment of a maintenance entity or financing mechanism acceptable to the MHCSD to provide funding for maintenance of,and if necessary,replacement at the end of the useful life of improvements, including but not limited to landscaping,pathways,walls, and all improvements serving or for the special benefit of this subdivision.
