According to the County's Development Title,the AU zone is intended"to retain in agriculture those areas planned for future urban development to facilitate compact, orderly urban development and to assure the proper timing and economical provision of services and utilities"(SJCCDD 1992).While the AU-20 designation is not consistent with the MHMP designation,all zoning designations within Mountain House remain as AU-20 until a Specific Plan is approved for the specific land use area.The specific plans approved for Mountain House to date (as of February 2005)include Specific Plan I and Specific Plan II, which include all of the Mountain House community except for the College Park(Specific Plan III)planning area. MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEW COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN The land use designations of the Mountain House New Community Master Plan(hereinafter referred to as the MHMP)match those of the County's General Plan, as discussed above. The MHMP was adopted in 1994 and — amended in 1997, 1998, 1999,2000,and 2004. As defined in the MHMP,its purpose is the following: The Master Plan is intended to implement the General Plan amendment which added the new _ community of Mountain House to the San Joaquin County 2010 General Plan, as approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 25, 1993... The Master Plan presents objectives,policies, implementation measures and standards for development of the new community. The plan and its appendices contain comprehensive plans for land use, infrastructure, environmental resources, public service provisions, and implementation. Also included is information on phasing, maintenance, and costs for infrastructure and services. The Master Plan is intended to serve as the overall community-wide policy document guiding subsequent Specific Plans, tentative maps, development projects, Development Agreements, and other approvals required to implement the proposed project(page iv of Master Plan). At the time of adoption of the MHMP, a college facility was not considered.The only educational facilities proposed are 12 Kindergarten through 8th Grade(K-8)schools(one for each neighborhood) and one high school at the center of the new community.Three child care sites are to be allocated as part of the Neighborhood Centers — or Village Centers and additional child care facilities are to be encouraged at business parks and other locations. The recent Specific Plan II proposal reduces the number of K-8 schools to 10 because of the inclusion of two active adult communities where K-8 schools are not proposed(SJCCDD 2004). _ GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS FOR SURROUNDING AREA San Joaquin County Within the MHMP,the land use designations for adjoining lands (Specific Plan I and Specific Plan In include: Low-Density and Medium-Density Residential; Medium-High Density Residential; Neighborhood, Community, and General Commercial; and Other Open Space(to south[future Caltrans truck climbing lane]);Freeway Service Commercial and Limited Industrial. Just outside of the Mountain House community,the County's General Plan designation is General Agriculture to the north across Old River, east across Mountain House — Parkway,and south across Interstate 205 (I-205).Alameda County lands are located to the west, as described below. The San Joaquin County zoning designation for lands north of the project site is Agriculture Urban Reserve(AU- 20)with 20-acre minimum parcels.This AU-20 designation is anticipated to change with the adoption of Specific Plan II in February 2005. The nearest development zone for the project site is to the east where an Industrial Park _ (I-P)zone exists for the Mountain House Business Park(near the interchange of I-205 and Mountain House Parkway). This parcel is also referred to as the "Pegasus Parcel' and development at this site is also under environmental review as of February 2005.Freeway Service Commercial(C-FS),Public Facilities(P-F),and Office Commercial (C-0)zones are also located within this business park area(see Figure 3-4 in Chapter 3, "Project Description').
