4.1.5 PREVIOUSLY PREPARED EIRS For the proposed College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III(proposed project),the Mountain House Master Plan(MI-IMP)represents the approved land use plan for the proposed project. Similarly,the proposed project represents a project under the MHMP. Therefore, the 1994 Mountain House Master Plan EIR(MHMP EIR)forms the basis of the analysis for this Draft EIR. Fully implemented(including land use amendments and rezones),the proposed project would be consistent with the MHMP land use plan. Consequently,pursuant to CEQA,this Draft EIR appropriately incorporates aspects of the MHMP. For example: The"Regulatory Setting"subsections in this chapter identify applicable policies and implementation measures that the proposed project must comply with from the MHMP and College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan M. These subsections also identify applicable mitigation measures from the MHMP EIR,2002 Delta College .. EIR(hereinafter referred to as the Delta College EIR) and subsequent Mitigation Monitoring Programs,and applicable standard and requirements of the Mountain House Community Services District(MHCSD)Design Manual. Please note that applicable mitigation measures, implementation measures, standards,and policies from these documents are taken verbatim. It should be noted that at the time of preparation of this Draft EIR,the 1994 MHMP, amended 2000,was the plan in effect. The MHMP is a living document that is frequently being amended to incorporate mitigation measures as policies, as identified in the 1994 MHMP EIR and subsequent MMP, the Delta College EIR and subsequent MMP,and other previously prepared related EIRs. It is assumed for purposes of this EIR,that all of the applicable mitigation measures,policies,and implementation measures/standards identified in the"Regulatory Setting"sections of this EIR from the following documents will be incorporated into the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III project: ► San Joaquin General Plan 2010 ► Mountain House Master Plan 1994 Final EIR for the Mountain House Master Plan and Specific Plan 11994 Mountain House Master Plan and Specific Plan I Mitigation Monitoring Program ► College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III ► Final Supplemental EIR for Delta College Center at Mountain House 2002 y ► Mountain House Community Services District Design Manual 2002 This Draft EIR evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed project assuming compliance with these measures and policies. The impact analyses in this chapter compares the impacts of development of the College Park site under the MHMP to development of the College Park site under the proposed project,where applicable,to determine whether the proposed project would result in similar/less impacts and thus fall within the scope of the MHMP EIR or result in greater impacts and thus require additional mitigation. For example,in Section 4.7,"Drainage,"it is determined that the proposed College Park project would result in similar runoff quantities as assumed in the MEW EIR,so the downstream storm drain infrastructure evaluated in the MHMP EIR remains adequate to accommodate project flows. A second example is Section 4.11,"Transportation,"where it is determined that the proposed College Park project would result in similar off-site traffic volumes as assumed in the MHMP EIR, so additional off-site roadway improvements should not be required. Within each section in this chapter,the significant impacts identified and mitigated through the MHMP EIR process are described under subsections entitled"Significant Impacts Identified in the MHMP EIR."
