Analysis <br /> Background <br /> On February 8, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved the Specific Plan II project. Specific Plan II consisted of <br /> the proposed adoption of the second Specific Plan for Mountain House (PA-0300362) and associated and <br /> required approval of Neighborhoods C, D, H, I, J, and K. This Major Subdivision application proposes to <br /> subdivide a 10.6 acre(R-MH) Medium-High Density residential parcel located in Neighborhood 'C'. <br /> This Major Subdivision application in Neighborhood C represents the first R-MH (Residential, Medium High <br /> Density) development project in Specific Plan ll, and the third R-MH project overall in Mountain House (the two <br /> ether R-MH projects were approved in Specific Plan 1). <br /> The allowable Master Plan density range for (R-MH) Medium-High Density residential development is 12.0 to <br /> 14.0 units per acre. The proposed residential project is to be developed at 12.4 units per acre and conforms to <br /> the Master Plan allowable density range. <br /> The proposed single family detached residential development project would be required to conform to the <br /> applicable provisions of the Trimark Communities, LLC Single Family Residential Design Manual, as amended. <br /> These provisions include, but are not limited to, standards for site planning and landscape design, architectural <br /> styles, front and rear articulation, roof forms, porches, garage treatments, entry court gates, exterior lighting, and <br /> patio structures/gazebos. <br /> Public Land Equity Program <br /> Under the Public Land Equity Program (PLEP), each Tentative Map is required to dedicate its fair share of public <br /> lands to the Mountain House community equal to 21.2% of the mapped area. The actual land dedication for the <br /> proposed Tentative Map is less than that requirement leaving a PLEP deficit of approximately 2.24 acres. The <br /> subdivider must correct this deficit by one of several methods: dedicating additional land, transferring fee title <br /> ownership of private land, and/or submitting land vouchers to the MHCSD to meet said Public Land Deficit. The <br /> subdivider Shea Homes LLC has stated they will obtain a PLEP credit voucher from Mountain House Developers <br /> to satisfy the PLEP requirement. <br /> Noise <br /> Development Title Section 9-1025.9 lists the Residential use type as a noise sensitive land use. Development <br /> Title Section 9-1025.9(d) states that the Review Authority shall require the preparation of an acoustical study in <br /> instances where it has been determined that a project may expose existing or proposed noise sensitive land uses <br /> to noise levels exceeding the noise standards specified in Table 9-1025.9. An Environmental Noise Analysis was <br /> prepared by Illingworth and Rodkin on May 3, 2018 and it was determined that the exterior noise levels at the <br /> backyards of residences nearest to Central Parkway would exceed the 65 dBA Ldn threshold for San Joaquin <br /> County. If approved the following conditions shall apply: <br /> NOISE WALL: A six-foot noise wall made of concrete or masonry block is required between the <br /> residences and connect to each residence (along the eastern facades) of the proposed lots facing <br /> Central Parkway and the wall shall be included in the improvement plans(Figure 1., Noise Measurement <br /> Locations, Env. Nosie Analysis May 3, 2018)(Development Title Section 9-1150.10) <br /> Interior noise levels within new residential units are required to be maintained at or below 45 dBA Ldn. The <br /> proposed lots adjacent to Central Parkway would be set back approximately 65 feet from the centerline of the <br /> roadway.
