the area proposed for development is adequate in size to accommodate the <br /> density of development proposed, consistent with the Master Plan and Specific <br /> Plan II. <br /> 5. Neither the design of the subdivision nor any proposed improvements are likely to cause <br /> substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or <br /> their habitat. <br /> This Finding can be made because the proposed subdivision, as conditioned, <br /> would be required to comply with applicable Federal and State laws for the <br /> protection of fish or wildlife or their habitat(e.g., Section 401 of the Clean Water <br /> Act with respect to Mountain House Creek water quality; Section 404 of the <br /> Clean Water Act for creek modifications; Federal and State Endangered Species <br /> Acts), and because the applicant will participate in the San Joaquin County Multi- <br /> Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). The proposed <br /> subdivision will also be subject to the Mountain House community monitoring <br /> and mitigation monitoring programs. In addition,the project incorporates all <br /> pertinent mitigation measures identified in the Mountain House Master Plan <br /> Master EIR, and the expanded Mountain House Specific Plan II Initial Study did <br /> not find any additional potentially significant impacts. <br /> 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvement is not likely to cause significant public <br /> health problems. <br /> This Finding can be made since CDD has concluded (based on the Specific Plan <br /> I/Initial Study)that the design of the subdivision, as conditioned,would either <br /> have no impact or less than significant impact on the health of future residents. <br /> 7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements <br /> acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed <br /> subdivision. <br /> This Finding can be made because there are no public access easements that <br /> would be acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property <br /> within the proposed subdivision that will be negatively affected by the proposed <br /> subdivision. <br /> 8. Any land or improvement to be dedicated to a public agency is consistent with the General <br /> Plan, the Master Plan, any applicable Specific Plan,any applicable Special Purpose Plan, <br /> and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. <br /> This Finding can be made since the lands or improvements to be dedicated to <br /> the MHCSD are consistent with the Public Land Equity Program and/or required <br /> to meet the MHCSD Design Manual, both of which are implementation measures <br /> for the General Plan, Master Plan, and Specific Plan II. <br /> g. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible,for future passive or natural <br /> heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision, as required by Government Code <br /> 66473.1. <br /> This Finding can be made because the subdivision incorporates the use of <br /> deciduous tree species to provide shade in the summer and solar access in the <br /> winter. <br /> 24 <br />
