L L L 1 L INTRODUCTION LThis Checklist evaluates the proposed application for a Major Subdivision for the Altamont Heights residential development located within the Mountain House Community in the southwest portion of San Joaquin County. The applicant and property owner is Golden State Investments II, LP. The Major Subdivision would divide the 12.72-acre site into 53 parcels with an average density of 4.16 dwelling units per acre. The project site is located south of L Grant Line Road and the Grant Line Village homesites, and east of the San Joaquin/Alameda County line in the southern portion of the Mountain House Community within the Specific Plan III area. 6., Mountain House is a new community planned on an approximately 4,400-acre site near San Joaquin County's border with Alameda County, northwest of the City of Tracy. Ultimate buildout of the community is projected to include a resident population of about 39,000 persons and jobs for about 21,600. The effects of development throughout Mountain House were addressed in the Mountain LHouse Master Plan Final EIR (MEIR) that was adopted by the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors in 1994.

When there are conflicts between the Master Plan and Specific Plan III, the Specific Plan III shall govern. LThe SPIIIEIR was prepared as both a Program and Project EIR. The Program EIR component evaluated impacts relating to the overall SPIII land use designations. The Project EIR component analyzed the portions of SPIII for which entitlements to construct, including L tentative maps,were requested. The housing units and land use designated for the Machado property were evaluated by the SPIN EIR,but only at a program level of review.
