With respect to the General Plan,the consistency review found that the proposed subdivision meets General Plan requirements for orderly and compact development(e.g., compatible siting of land uses, inclusion of residential support services, coordination of land uses with transportation). The project is consistent with General Plan policies since: 1) the infrastructure planned meets the requirements and standards of the County and the Mountain House Community Services District (MHCSD); 2) all necessary on-site and off-site easements and dedications for the maintenance of the water, sewer, and storm systems shown on the proposed Tentative Map will be provided; 3) the waste management requirements of the County and the MHCSD will be met; 4) energy resources will be conserved and air pollution minimized by means of participation in adopted plans (e.g.,TDM Plan); 5) transportation improvements adequate to serve the proposed project will be constructed; and 6) programs and actions to ensure protection and preservation of riparian and other habitats and special status species will be implemented. With respect to the Master Plan/Specific Plan III, the consistency review found that the proposed subdivision addresses the affordable housing objectives expressed in these plans by meeting Master Plan /Specific Plan III requirements for housing diversity and affordability, and density of development (within the Minimum and Maximum density range for the R/L and the R/M land use designations for Neighborhood A/B, per Master Plan Section 3.3. To meet Master Plan/Specific Plan III requirements regarding noise,future residents of the subdivision will be protected from excessive outdoor and indoor noise levels via landscaping, wall treatments, construction requirements for homes, and by notices to residents via a note on the deed of affected properties in instances where exterior noise levels up to an Ltl„ of 65 dB may be reached. To promote greater energy efficiency and accessibility in accordance with Master Plan requirements, development of the subdivision incorporates a number of design features. With respect to the Public Financing Plan, the consistency review has determined the proposed subdivision is consistent with said plan because: 1) development of the subdivision will finance the pro-rata cost of infrastructure needed to serve it, through a combination of impact fees, monthly utility charges, special taxes and MHCSD special taxes; and 2) development of the subdivision will pay the cost of mitigating impacts on existing facilities, infrastructure and the environment. 2.
