and crude oil pipelines. See Section 4.9,"Public Health and Safety,"for further analysis of the hazards associated with the existing on-site electrical lines and natural gas—crude oil pipelines. The College Park project would include urban development within and along the two BBID irrigation canals that bisect the project site. Although these canals would eventually be filled under the proposed project and thus not represent a potential public safety hazard,they could represent a potential hazard in the interim.A potentially significant impact could occur. The proposed project would result in development of new residential uses in close proximity to the two existing dairies. Low-and medium-density residential uses would be developed directly west and across DeAnza Boulevard from the two dairies(Figure 3-613)and the dairies would not be replaced with limited industrial development until the last phases of the project(Figure 3-17). Therefore,the proposed residential uses in proximity to the dairies would be exposed to odors and noise from the dairies on a temporary basis until the dairies are removed. However,as indicated in the air quality and noise analyses contained in Sections 4.12,"Air Quality,"and 4.13,"Noise,"of this EIR,the dairies would eventually be phased out,thus making any impacts temporary and less than significant. As indicated in Figure 3-613,light industrial and office commercial uses would be developed along Mountain ` House Parkway,across the street from several existing residences located along the east side of Mountain House Parkway. The MHMP sets forth setback and buffer requirements along the"eastern edge"of the project.Policies 4.3.3(a)and(b)require a 32-foot landscaped setback along the west side of Mountain House Parkway planted with large evergreen screening shrubs,and the planting of trees along both sides and down the center median of Mountain House Parkway.These requirements would provide an effective buffer between the proposed land uses and the existing residences on the east side of Mountain House Parkway. A less-than-significant impact would occur. Mitigation Measure 4.2-1: Land Use and Agriculture—Conflict with Existing Land Uses The College Park developers shall implement the following measures: ► Fence off the two on-site BBID canals from proposed urban development until such time as the canals are filled.The fencing shall be sufficient to block access to the canals by all except BBID personnel and other authorized persons,and shall be developed in coordination with BBID to ensure that BBID has continued access to the canals for maintenance activities. Implement Mitigation Measure 4.9-5,identified in Section 4.9,"Public Health and Safety,"to ensure that the proposed residences are not exposed to an explosion hazard from the natural gas pipelines within the PG&E— Chevron easement that bisects the project site. ► Identify an agricultural buffer of no less than 100 feet at the time of Tentative Map approval for any new units in the residential area in and south of Grant Line Village and adjacent to the County line. Implementation of the above mitigation measures would reduce the potential interim conflicts between proposed uses and existing BBID canals to a less-than-significant level. IMPACT Land Use and Agriculture—Conflict between Proposed Land Uses. The proposed project would not 4.2-2 generate conflicts between proposed land uses, except for the proposed lighted community park facilities that would generate conflicts with proposed adjacent residential uses.A significant impact would occur. As indicated in Figure 3-6B in Chapter 3,the College Park project would include the development of a mix of residential,limited industrial,office commercial,neighborhood commercial,school,community college,parks, and public facility uses.Residential,neighborhood commercial, school,and park uses are generally uses that are College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW San Joaquin County 4.2-15 Land Use and Agriculture
