IMPACT Public Services—Additional Demand for Public High Schools. The project would result in the 4.4-3 construction of residential units that would result in the demand for public high school facilities and services. However, anew high school is planned in the Specific Plan I area of the MHMP that would provide adequate high school service to the proposed project, and the proposed project would pay the required state- mandated school impact fees that according to state law, represent full mitigation of high school capacity impacts. A less-than•sigri ficant impact would occur. The project would generate approximately 385 high school students at buildout,based on the student generation rates provided by TUSD and as shown in Table 4.4-1.The project is one part of the MHMP,and high school facilities are planned to be constructed to serve the entire MHMP area. A high school facility is not planned to be constructed in the project site under the MHMP or under the College Park project,but a new high school to be named Mountain House High School would be constructed in the Specific Plan I area as required under the MHMP. Mountain House High School will have a total capacity of 2,400 students and will be built in phases to accommodate growing student population from the ongoing residential development, including College Park.The first phase of Mountain House High School is planned to accommodate 650 students. Following completion of the high school, it would serve all high school students residing in the MHMP area,including College Park. TUSD would determine the date of construction of this new school. Therefore, adequate high school capacity would be provided, and a less-than-significant impact would occur. On an interim basis,until Mountain House High School is completed and operational,high school students residing in the College Park project area would be bussed to either West High School or Tracy High School located in Tracy. However,the two existing high schools in the TUSD are currently overcapacity and cannot serve additional students.TUSD has acknowledged this issue and has created a plan to use additional portable buildings as classrooms on an interim basis until Mountain House High School opens.TUSD would determine the location of temporary facilities as the need arises and in the event that Mountain House High School is not built or delayed.With payment of the required state-mandated school impact fees,which the state considers full mitigation of school capacity impacts,a less-than-significant impact would occur. The California Department of ` Education,Facilities Planning Division,has final decision making authority on school siting. Mitigation Measure 4.4-3: Public Services—Additional Demand for Public High Schools.Project developers shall enter into project-specific mitigation with TUSD that determines the development impact fee to be paid for the construction or rental of temporary portable buildings to be placed at West High School or Tracy High School. With implementation of this mitigation measure,project impacts resulting from additional demand for public high schools would be reduced to less-than-significant levels. IMPACT Public Services—Additional Demand for College Services. The project would result in the construction 4.4-4 of residential units that would result in the demand for college facilities and services.A beneficial impact would occur. The project would develop a 108.8-acre community college campus in the southwestern portion of the site.The college would serve Mountain House residents,Tracy residents,and residents throughout the SJCCDD's jurisdiction.The construction of the community college as part of the project would result in a beneficial impact related to the provision of college facilities and services. Mitigation Measure 4.4-4:Public Services—Additional Demand for College Services. No mitigation is required.
