d) The Wetland Plan shall be consistent with all Federal, State, and local regulations (Master Plan, Implementation 7.3.6 (k); Specific Plan III, Implementation Measure 7.3.4.3 (e)). e) The Wetland Plan shall show the location and extent of existing wetlands on the site of the proposed project. f) The Wetland Plan shall indicate sites that are to be developed or preserved to serve as mitigation for loss of wetlands as a result of the proposed project. To the extent practical, mitigation sites shall be in the Mountain House Creek corridor. If replacement in the Mountain House Creek corridor is not feasible, replacement shall be within San Joaquin County. g) Provisions shall be made for maintaining replacement wetland for a minimum of five (5) years. h) Assurance of wetland preservation shall be by conservation easement or other acceptable methods. In addition to the above, with regard to riparian habitat, the applicant will prepare a Riparian Habitat Mitigation Plan for the elimination of riparian habitat on the site, pursuant to Community Development Department Condition of Approval #38 for Major Subdivision Application PA-0600363. Riparian habitat generally does not include wetlands (see Section 9-110.4 of the San Joaquin County Development Title); however, to the extent that the elimination of any wetlands habitat on the site is compensated by the Riparian Habitat Mitigation Plan, the compensation provided by the Riparian Habitat Mitigation Plan would serve as mitigation for the loss of the wetlands. 2. The Master Plan Amendment will not adversely affect the jobs/housing program and housing affordability. This determination can be made because the Master Plan amendment, although permitting the development of an additional five primary dwelling units on the project site, would not increase the total number of housing units permissible as a result of wastewater limitations in the Specific Plan III area. Approval of Major Subdivision Application PA-0600363 would result in the development of 53 single-family, Low Density Residential (R-L) units,whereas the number specified by Specific Plan III for the project site is 48. Under Specific Plan III (Implementation Measure 3.2.5.4 (a)), this 5 unit increase is allowed. Golden State Investments LP has not utilized 8 Medium- High Density Residential (R-MH) units in the recently approved Regents Gate subdivision to which it was otherwise entitled by Specific Plan III. The wastewater that would have been generated by these R-MH units is equivalent to that generated by 5 R-L units. As required by Specific Plan III, Golden State Investments LP has assigned this residential-based wastewater allocation to the project applicant, Golden State Investments II LP,who is a different owner,via an Assignment Agreement. 3. All applicable provisions of the Mountain House Development Agreement will be met. This determination can be made because the proposed Development Agreement incorporates provisions of the existing, principal Mountain House Development Agreement (Amended and Restated Master Plan Development Agreement by and between County of San Joaquin and Trimark Communities Relative to the Development of Certain Property within the Mountain House Community) and
