Appendix A: Consistency Review with Adopted Plans A summary of consistency is presented below. General Plan Consistency The proposed Tentative Map for the Town Center("project")has been reviewed for consistency with the General Plan. The consistency review conducted by staff found that it met General Plan requirements for orderly and compact development(i.e., compatible siting of land uses within, and adjacent to,the proposed development of the Town Center;inclusion of multi-family housing,which includes for sale condominium units and apartment units and Additional Town Center Units; and coordination of land uses with transportation, protections for public health and safety(i.e., improvements planned to protect residents from 100-year flood events and provisions for police and fire service), and protections for the fiscal health of the County. Staff has also found that the proposed subdivisions are consistent with General Plan policies since: 1)the infrastructure planned meets the requirements and standards of the County and the MHCSD;2)all on-site and off-site improvements, and easements and dedications,will be constructed; 3)the requisite will-serve letters from the MHCSD have been obtained;4)equitable financing mechanisms for urban services have been established; 5)significant environmental impacts, identified in the Mountain House Master Environmental Impact Report(WEIR"), have either been addressed as mitigations in the MEIR and Initial Study, as mitigations(in whole or part)in the Master Plan,TDM Plan, and the Mountain House Development Title,or as conditions of approval in the project; 6)adequate school facilities will be made available as needed; 7)waste management services meeting the requirements of the MHCSD will be provided;8)recreational,transportation, and other improvements will be coordinated and provided in accordance with County and MHCSD timing requirements; 9)energy resources will be conserved and air pollution minimized by means of participation in adopted plans (e.g.,TDM Plan)and the inclusion of public transit, bicycle, and L pedestrian facilities in project design; 10)transportation improvements, adequate to serve the proposed project,will be constructed;and 11)programs and actions to ensure protection and preservation of riparian and other habitats and special status species(e.g., participation in the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan [SJMSCP)),and the preservation of commercial agriculture(e.g. agricultural drainage and improvements phasing, right- to-farm protections, etc), either have been or will be implemented. Master Plan/Specific Plan II Consistency Staff has determined that the proposed project, as conditioned, is consistent with the Master Plan and Specific Plan It. Multi-use paths are proposed throughout the Town Center. Generous pedestrian sidewalks would be provided along streets and pedestrian connections would be constructed to Central Parkway and the Central Community Park. A transit center is proposed on a 3-acre parcel north of De Anza Boulevard between the Central Community Park and Community Commercial land uses. A transit stop is proposed along Main Street. Bus stop shelters are also proposed at a variety of locations within the Town Center, as warranted pursuant to the requirements of the MHCSD Transportation Demand Management(TDM)and Transit Plan. The proposed project is consistent with policies regarding the Affordable Housing Program,which includes policies requiring the availability of affordable housing for households at every income level, and reliance on market forces to determine the number, rents, and sales prices of dwelling units within the community. The proposed subdivision includes the construction of 200 for-sale homes or apartments at a density ranging from 14 to 60 units per acre and 240"Additional Town Center Units"as part of an affordable housing plan for the Town Center. The proposed project is consistent with policies regarding the Jobs/Housing Program. The projected number of jobs for the project, 2,649, is consistent with Master Plan and Specific Plan II assumptions regarding jobs per acre for specified land use types. A determination concerning 1
