6. MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED MACHADO TENTATIVE MAP 4. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST 4.9 LAND USE AND PLANNING V L Impact 4.2-2: Land Use and Agriculture—Conflict between Proposed Land Uses. The proposed project would not generate conflicts between proposed land uses, except for the proposed lighted community park facilities that would generate conflicts with proposed adjacent residential uses. A significant impact would occur. L MITIGATION MEASURES IDENTIFIED IN 2005 SPIIIEIR In part, SPIIIEIR Mitigation Measure 4.2-1 requires that developers: • Fence off the two on-site BBID canals from proposed urban development until such time as the canals are filled; • Implement Mitigation Measure 4.9-5 (Public Health& Safety)that ensures proposed f` residences are not exposed to an explosion hazard from the natural gas pipelines within the PG&E-Chevron easement that bisects the project site; and • Identify an agricultural buffer of no less than 100 feet for any new units in the residential area in and south of Grant Line Village and adjacent to the County line. Mitigation Measure 4.2.2 refers to Mitigation Measure 4.14-4 in the Visual Quality section of the SPIIIEIR. The impact was determined to be less than significant and no mitigation was required because of standards imposed by the MHCSD Design Manual requiring that outdoor lights be designed to minimize glare and impacts to adjacent residential uses. In addition,the Design Manual requires significant landscaping and earthen berms to reduce lighting impacts, and light sources must be shielded and directed downward away from adjacent land uses. DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED PROJECT V a) Physically divide an established community? The proposed project would not physically divide an established community because it would be constructed in an area that has been used for agriculture, as discussed above. It is a part of the Mountain House Community and is located across the road from the nearest residential ` area on Grant Line Road. Mitigation Measure No mitigation measures are required. Lb) Conflict with any applicable land use plan,policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project(including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding Lor mitigating an environmental effect? The project site is divided into six land use designations in Specific Plan III. Project plans show that approximately 63 acres are designated Residential Low Density R/L)with a 4-51 L
