Recreation,and Leisure Plan,and as indicated in Section 3.8.6. In addition, College Park Implementation ` Standard 7.2.2.3-b (see"Regulatory Setting,"above)would ensure adequate neighborhood and community parkland has been developed before occupancy of residential units.For this reason,the supply of parkland is expected to meet the growing demand associated with population increases in the College Park area. Based on this approximate future number of residents in the project site(6,906)and in accordance with San Joaquin County standards(10 acres of regional parkland per 1,000 population),the proposed project would generate a demand for 69.06 acres of regional parkland. 4 The project is one part of the entire MHMP development.The environmental analysis conducted for the entire MHMP development area identified a deficiency in the amount of regional parkland available to serve new residents living in Mountain House.The MHMP development incorporates the construction of a regional park adjacent to Old River in Neighborhoods K and L,located in the Specific Plan II area.The Old River regional park would provide 82 acres of parkland for the whole Mountain House development and the surrounding region. According to the MHMP the Old River regional park would be developed after implementation of specific plans for Neighborhoods K and L,or after approximately 50%residential buildout of the entire MHMP area.Before the development of the regional park along Old River,project residents would not have access to on-site regional park facilities until other neighborhoods of the entire MHMP project are developed.Project residents would use the regional parks located elsewhere in the county.For this reason,the project would contribute to the existing deficiency of regional parkland. Residents living in the project site would demand 69.06 acres of regional parkland out of the 82 acres to be constructed as part of the entire MHMP. As a result,the 82-acre Old River Regional Park would not meet the d regional parkland needs for the entire MHMP development. With an existing deficiency of regional parkland in San Joaquin County and insufficient regional parkland being provided as part of the entire MHMP,the project would contribute further to a regional parkland shortage. In addition,construction of the Old River Regional Park may not be complete or accessible when residential units in the entire Mountain House development are occupied. According to the Mountain House Specific Plan II Initial Study,findings of the 1994 MHMP FEIR concluded that adequate recreational facilities(e.g.,neighborhood parks,regional parks)were provided by individual local facilities in each Specific Plan area and that developers would pay for development and maintenance of the proposed 82-acre regional park at Old River.As a result of these findings and given that the proposed project would provide sufficient parkland to serve the needs of future residents, a less-than-significant impact would occur. Mitigation Measure 4.4-1: Public Services—Additional Demand for Public Parkland. No mitigation is required. IMPACT Public Services—Additional Demand for K-8 Schools. The project would result in the construction of -� 4.4.2 residential units that would result in the demand for public elementary school facilities and services. However, the proposed project would provide sites for two new K-8 schools and would pay the required state-mandated school impact fees, which,according to state law,represents full mitigation of K,8 school capacity impacts. Public safety impacts associated with pedestrian access could occur,but the SXCCD has agreed to fund buses to reduce the need for pedestnan access. A less-than-significant impact would occur. ` The project would generate demand for school services and facilities through generating approximately 1,242 K-8 students at buildout as shown in Table 4.4-1. As indicated in Figure 3-6B in Chapter 3 of this EIR,two K-8 school sites would be provided in the project site. The sites would be centrally located to serve Neighborhoods A/B. Both school sites would incorporate approximately 16 acres and would be located immediately adjacent to park facilities.
