• At any other times determined appropriate by the Board of Supervisors (e.g., scheduling of a Jobs/Housing review by the Board to evaluate the circumstances for non achievement of jobs/housing ratios). As of April, 2012, 3,439 residential building permits have been issued in Mountain House and 3,358 of those have been finaled. Because this proposal is not a Specific Plan and less than 4,000 residential units have been constructed, this report does not include a Jobs/Housing Review. Housing The project proposes 200 market rate residential units and 240 Additional Town Center Units, which is the same number of residential units called for in Specific Plan II. With respect to the 240 Additional Town Center Units, Condition of Approval No. 9d has been added to require the construction of these units for the Town Center Tentative Map. Public Land Equity Program Under the Public Land Equity Program (PLEP), each Tentative Map is required to dedicate its fair share of public lands to the Mountain House community equal to 21.2% of the mapped area. The actual amount of public land proposed for the proposed Town Center Tentative Map is in excess of the PLEP requirement. The amount of the surplus is 43.63 acres. The applicant has elected to receive a land voucher, or credit,from the MHCSD for these surplus acres,which will be applied to areas in Mountain House owned by the applicant where a"public land deficit"exists. Police Protection The Master Plan states that"at an urban level of development police protection shall be provided to the Mountain House community at an urban level of 1.5 sworn officers per 1,000 population or such other levels that may be specified in the General Plan consistent with the standards for comparable urban communities within San Joaquin County, and any additional needs determined by the community." [Master Plan, Section 6.2, Policy(a)] The proposed project is projected to add approximately 880 residents,400 persons for the 200 residential units and 480 persons for the 240 Additional Town Center Units, to Mountain House. Based on the above Master Plan ratio, the project could generate a demand for approximately one additional sworn officer at build out. Currently, the MHCSD (through an existing agreement with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department) has paid for two officers whom the Sheriffs Department hired specifically to patrol the Mountain House community, for a population of approximately 7,400. The service agreement between the MHCSD and the Sheriff's Department calls for negotiations for an enhanced level of service during the build out of the community. Agricultural Buffers The Mountain House Master Plan calls for agricultural buffers along the Community Edges and for interim agricultural edges. Those requirements carried through to Specific Plan II. To comply with these requirements, sections with columnar trees and sections with columnar and flowering trees will be planted along the eastern boundary of the Mountain House community and the Town Center along Mountain House Parkway. Environmental Review An Initial Study, the Mountain House Town Center Tentative Subdivision Map Initial Study("Initial Study")was prepared for the project in November,2008. TJKM Transportation Consultants submitted a letter reassessing the traffic impacts of the project with the proposed widening the J 21
