residential units, 1.5 acres of neighborhood commercial, 256,130 square feet(sf)of office commercial, 1,763,390
<br /> sf of limited industrial,two kindergarten through 8th grade(K-8) schools,a community college, and other public
<br /> facilities.Therefore,although this alternative would not create the benefits associated with community college
<br /> services,it also would not create a significant demand for public parkland, fire protection services,or law
<br /> enforcement services and would not create significant demands for kindergarten through 12th grade(K-12)
<br /> schools and public library services.[Lesser]
<br /> Public Utilities
<br /> Under the No-Project Alternative, 18 additional very-low-density residential units would be developed,resulting in
<br /> minor increases in demand for water,electricity,and natural gas from MHCSDByron-Bethany Irrigation District
<br /> r (BBID),Modesto Irrigation District(MID),and Pacific Gas and Electric Company(PG&E),respectively,and no
<br /> increase in demand for wastewater treatment/disposal services from MHCSD(because this service would continue
<br /> to be provided by on-site private septic tanks).Implementing the proposed project would result in water demand of
<br /> 1,448,010 gallons per day(gpd)from MHCSD/BBID,wastewater treatment/disposal demand of 926,318 gpd from
<br /> ' MHCSD,and substantial increases in demand for electricity and natural gas from MID and PG&E,respectively
<br /> (MacKay&Somps 2004).Although public utility impacts would be less than significant under both the No-Project
<br /> Alternative and the proposed project,this alternative would create substantially less utility demand than the proposed
<br /> project,avoiding the need to expand the Mountain House Water Treatment Plant(WTP)and Mountain House
<br /> Wastewater Treatment Plant(W WTp),develop a nonpotable water system(to make up for the water supply deficit
<br /> identified in the Senate Bill(SB)610 Water Supply Assessment(WSA)for the proposed project,develop an interim
<br /> recycled water disposal system on the Pombo property,develop water storage tanks on the project site,and extend
<br /> utility infrastructure to the project site.This alternative would also free up utility capacity for other potential
<br /> development in the MHMP area.[Lesser]
<br /> Cultural Resources
<br /> The project site does not contain any cultural resources listed in the National Register of Historic Places(NRNP)
<br /> or the California Register of Historical Resources(CRHR),and although the site(including the off-site
<br /> infrastructure areas)contains 10 known historic-era cultural resources,none of these are listed or eligible for
<br /> listing in the CRHR.A portion of the site(Grant Line Village)contains 23 existing buildings/structures that may
<br /> represent historic resources(i.e.,are currently 50+years of age or would be 50+years of age at project buildout
<br /> [2025]) and may contain undiscovered and unrecorded subsurface cultural resources.
<br /> lmplementing the No-Project Alternative would result in the disruption of approximately 7 acres of the 815-acre
<br /> project site associated with the development of the 18 additional units permitted on the site by existing zoning.
<br /> However,under this alternative,the vast majority of the site,the off-site infrastructure sites, and any existing
<br /> residences in Grant Line Village that may represent potential historic resources would not be disturbed. Although
<br /> it is possible that implementing this alternative could result in significant impacts on undiscovered or unrecorded
<br /> cultural resources within the 7 acres to be disturbed,it would not have the potential to disturb any undiscovered
<br /> cultural resources on the balance of the project site or the off-site infrastructure sites and would not affect any
<br /> structures in Grant Line Village that represent potential historic resources.
<br /> By comparison,the proposed project could result in significant impacts on undiscovered or unrecorded cultural
<br /> resources within the whole 815-acre project site and off-site infrastructure locations and could result in significant
<br /> impacts on historical resources in Grant Line Village if such resources exist.[Lesser]
<br /> Drainage
<br /> The No-Project Alternative would include the development of 18 new residences,which would disturb
<br /> .. approximately 7 acres of the 815-acre project site.Because this alternative would disturb less than 1%of the project
<br /> site,would not disturb the off-site infrastructure sites or Grant Line Village,would not include grading of the project
<br /> site,would not result in any measurable increase in impervious surfaces at the site,would not alter the existing
<br /> College Park at Mountain House Specille Plan III Draft EIR EDAW
