General Plan Policies and Zoning This alternative,by definition,would be consistent with the adopted policies of the MHMP,including the M EAP's land use designations and approved land use plan.Because of this consistency,some entitlements being sought under the proposed project would not be required.These entitlements include amendment of the County General Plan 2010 to permit development of a community college; amendment of the MHMP to add a public college designation,consolidation of neighborhoods,realignment of Central Parkway,and amendment of the acreage for multiple other land use designations; amendment of the MHCSD Utility Master Plans for stormwater,water,and wastewater improvements;and amendment of the Consolidated Development Title to address changes of development standards.This alterative would lessen the proposed project's impacts related to consistency with MHMP policies and land use designations.[Lesser] Public Services The MHMP Buildout Alterative, like the proposed project,would include the development of the project site with urban uses that would generate a significant demand for public parkland, fire protection services,and law enforcement services and less-than-significant(although still substantial)demands for K-12 and public library services. Because this alternative would include 376 more residential units than the proposed project,it would create a greater demand for public services than the proposed project and would not create the beneficial impact on community college services(because it would not include the community college that would be developed under the proposed project).[Greater] y Public Utilities The MHMP Buildout Alterative and the proposed project would each create a substantial demand for water from MHCSD/BBID,wastewater treatment/disposal services from MHCSD, and electricity and natural gas from MID and PG&E,respectively. Water demand and wastewater generation under this alterative and the proposed project are quantified in Table 5-3.This alterative would result in water demand of 1,524,579 gallons per day(gpd), wastewater treatment/disposal demand of 926,321 gpd,and substantial increases in demand for electricity and natural gas(MacKay& Somps 2004). This is compared to the proposed project, which would result in water demand of 1,448,010 gpd,wastewater treatment/disposal demand of 926,318, and substantial increases in demand for electricity and natural gas(MacKay& Somps 2004).Although public utility impacts would be less-than- significant under both scenarios because adequate utility capacity currently exists and/or is planned under each (with the exception of water, as discussed below),this alternative would create slightly greater utility demand than the proposed project. In addition,because a nonpotable water system would not be developed under this alterative,while such a system would be developed under the proposed project to supply the deficit in water supply identified for the project in the SB 610 WSA,inadequate water supply would be available to serve y, development under this alterative without development of a similar nonpotable water system.[Greater] Table 5-3 _ Water Demand and Wastewater Generation—MHMP Buildout Alternative vs. Proposed Project Buildout Under Existing MHMP Proposed Project(gpd) Alternative(gpd) Water Demand 1,524,579 1,448,010 Wastewater Generation 926,321 926,318 Source: MacKay&Somps 2005 College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW San Joaquin County 5-11 Alternatives to the Proposed Project
