Public Financing Plan Consistency The Master Plan requires that each discretionary Development Permit approval be consistent with the Public Financing Plan. The Mountain House Public Financing Plan sets forth principals and policies with which discretionary development approvals within the community must be consistent. Considerable fiscal and financial analysis has been prepared since the initial Public Financing Plan was approved to ensure that, as development occurs, mechanisms are in place to implement the objectives of the Public Financing Plan. The proposed subdivisions will be subject to the impact fees, monthly charges and special taxes that have been adopted to provide funding for the public facilities and services that are required to serve new development. Specifically, the proposed subdivisions are consistent with the Public Financing Plan for the following reasons: 1. Development of the subdivisions would finance the pro-rata cost of infrastructure needed Iwo to serve them, through a combination of impact fees, monthly utility charges, special taxes and MHCSD special taxes. 2. Development of the subdivisions would pay the cost of mitigating impacts on existing facilities, infrastructure and the environment. 3. Infrastructure costs would be allocated to properties within the project based on the principle of benefit received. 4. Mechanisms have been established to assure timely construction of public improvements, dedication of necessary public lands and rights-of-way, and reimbursement of disproportionate costs. The revenues generated to the County from development of the subdivisions would offset the cost of public services to ensure that the project has a positive fiscal impact on the County. MHCSD Plans and Programs Consistency The MHCSD has reviewed the proposed subdivisions for consistency with its adopted plans and programs, and the Master Drainage Plan. The MHCSD has determined that the proposed subdivisions, as conditioned by the MHCSD, is consistent with MHCSD adopted plans and programs and the proposed revisions to the Master Drainage Plan. 4
