EXHIBIT A Bases for Specific Plan III Amendment (PA-0600365) 1. The proposed Specific Plan III amendments are consistent with the General Plan, the Master Plan, and the Public Financing Plan. This determination can be made because the proposed map and text changes,in association with Community Development Department Conditions of Approval#37 (regarding the submittal of a Wetland Mitigation/Replacement Plan)and#38 (regarding the preparation of a Riparian Habitat Mitigation Plan)for Major Subdivision Application PA-0600363, are consistent with the policies of the General Plan and the Master Plan regarding the replacement of riparian habitats and wetlands that will be destroyed as a result of development,and because the proposed changes do not negatively affect the Public Financing Plan. Because the wetland on the project site is the only wetland shown on the Specific Plan land use map,its elimination necessitates that wetland replacement occur( if feasible) in the Mountain House Creek Corridor(rather than within the Specific Plan III area adjacent to other preserved wetlands). 2. The Specific Plan or Specific Plan Amendment will not adversely affect the jobsthousing program and housing affordability. This determination can be made because the Specific Plan III amendments, 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 Ill. 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 have been 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 modifies and supplements those provisions only as necessary. Additionally, this determination can be made because the proposed Development Agreement vests certain provisions/sections of the General Plan, Master Plan,the Mountain House Development Title, and Specific Plan III,that have previously been found to be consistent with said documents (e.g., the Public Land Equity Program Ordinance). 1
