MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED ALTAMONT HEIGHTS TENTATIVE MAP 5_0 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE species. The loss of this riparian corridor would not cause the decline of wildlife species or cause wildlife populations to drop below self-sustaining levels. Per mitigation measures outlined in the Master Plan EIR and Specific Plan III FIR, the applicant will be required to participate in the SJMSCP to offset the loss of the riparian corridor. -(Refer to Section 4.4: Biological Resources.) The proposed project would not eliminate examples of major periods in California history. The property has been dry-farmed and does not contain historical or cultural resources. (Refer to Section 4.5: Cultural Resources.) b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past.projects, the effects ofother current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) The cumulative impacts of the project have been addressed in the MEIR that addressed full buildout of Mountain House and SPIIIEIR that addressed impacts associated with buildout of the Specific Plan III area. Cumulative development in the general area and region was also addressed in the MSIR. Since approval of the MHMP, some of the projects have been built or have been removed from application. To address the most recent conditions related to cumulative traffic, the traffic analysis conducted for the SPIIIEIR included runs of the countywide model, adopted by the MHCSD,which addresses growth to the year 2025. The MEIR addressed growth to the year 2010. The MSIR and SPIIIEIR adequately covered the other topics related to cumulative growth. Based upon the cumulative traffic analysis, no new impacts have been identified..The SPIIIEIR did identify significant unavoidable impacts along freeway segments, which were also identified in the MSIR. The required findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were made for the MEIR and the SPIIIEIR, and the adoption of the Master Plan and Specific Plan III related to this issue and other impacts that were found to be significant and unavoidable. c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? The proposed project will not have an environmental effect that can cause substantial adverse effects on human beings directly or indirectly as discussed throughout Chapter 4. 5-2
