General Plan Policies and Zoning Under this alternative, fewer residential units and more neighborhood and office commercial uses would be developed,as compared to the proposed project,with public facility uses remaining the same for both development options. Because this alternative would increase the ratio of on-site housing called for under the MHMP, an amendment of the j obs/housing ratio policies would be required for this alternative. Otherwise,the same entitlements being sought for the proposed project would be required for this alternative.With attainment of these entitlements and _ amendments,it is anticipated that this alternative would achieve consistency with the San Joaquin County General Plan 2010,the Mountain House New Community Master Plan (as amended 2004), and the San Joaquin County Development Title.For this reason,policy and zoning impacts for this alternative would be similar to those identified for the proposed project.[Similar] Public Services The Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative,like the proposed project,would include 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(but still substantial)demands for K-12 and library - services. Both this alternative and the proposed project would create a beneficial impact with respect to community college services because both would develop a community college.Because this alternative would include 101 fewer residential units than the proposed project and a greater proportion of the residential units — would be higher density units under this alternative(with fewer persons per unit than the proposed project),this alternative would create a lower demand for public services than the proposed project.[Lesser) Public Utilities The Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative 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 alternative and the proposed project are quantified in Table 5-5.This alternative would result in water demand of 1,366,909 gpd, wastewater treatment/disposal demand of 904,395 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 gpd, and substantial increases in demand for electricity and natural gas(MacKay&Somps 2004).Public utility impacts would be less than - significant under both this alternative and the proposed project because adequate utility capacity currently exists or is planned under each scenario.Although this alternative would create slightly less utility demand than the proposed project,there would be no substantial difference in the size of the utility infrastructure needed between the two _ scenarios;thus,the two scenarios would be similar with respect to public utility impacts.[Similar] Table 5-5 _ Water Demand and Wastewater Generation - Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative vs. Proposed Project Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction MHMP Alternative Proposed Project(gpd) _ (gpd) Water Demand 1,366,909 1,448,010 Wastewater Generation 904,395 926,318 - Source: MacKay&Somps 2005 EDAW College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR Alternatives to the Proposed Project 5-20 San Joaquin County
