f MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED ALTAMONT HEIGHTS TENTATIVE MAP 4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 4.14 RECREATION b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion ` of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? The implementation of Specific Plan III would include a 31-acre community park and 11 acres of neighborhood parks(EDAW, 2005a). The development of these community and neighborhood parks would occur concurrently with residential development to meet the requirements of the MHMP. The neighborhood and community parks would incorporate active and passive recreation facilities. Active facilities include a community pool and clubhouse(at the community park),baseball fields, soccer fields, and basketball courts. Passive facilities include open landscaped areas,turf areas, and picnic tables. Development of these facilities are considered beneficial environmental effects if no endangered or special- status wildlife species are impacted where the recreational facilities are located to the extent that mitigation measures cannot reduce the impacts to less-than-significant levels. Refer to Section 4.4: Biological Resources for discussion of potential impacts on wildlife. In compliance with Section 7.2.5,Private Recreation, of Specific Plan III,the project applicant proposes to provide landscaping, including trees, shrubs and groundcover,along all streets and cul-de-sacs as shown in Figure 2-6.
