To provide flexibility, the Special Purpose Plan Amendment adds language allowing a developer to satisfy both of these requirements if the developer provides a single floorplan with 1,500 square feet of livable area and a second unit dwelling, plotted on 10% of the lots within the project area. The Special Purpose Plan Amendment also modifies other provisions of the Special Purpose Plan to facilitate greater housing variety in the housing products being offered. Even with a solely small lot single family detached residential development, the loss of duplex and triplex units within the project area would be offset by the greater variety of single family units being offered for sale. Two other points should be noted: 1) the Special Purpose Plan Amendment does not change the required number of housing units within the project area, remaining at 229 dwelling units; and 2)the Special Purpose Plan Amendment blends the R-M and R-MH densities, achieving an overall residential density of 10.5 units per acre. (Note: This proposed overall density is similar to the existing Special Purpose Plan overall density of 9.6 units per acre.) Consistencv with Adopted Plans The project (i.e. the,Special Purpose Plan Amendment) was reviewed for consistency with the General Plan, the Master Plan, and Specific Plan Ili. The project was determined to be consistent with these plans with respect to supporting/maintaining housing opportunities and providing housing choices in Mountain House. The project was also reviewed for consistency with the Public Financing Plan. The project was determined to be consistent with the Public Financing Plan since it does not increase the demand on public services. Streets and drives within the project area would continue to be privately owned and maintained by an entity acceptable to the MHCSD. Pavement widths would continue to be consistent with previous approvals, and the subject property would be developed with the same number of housing units as was previously planned under the Master Plan, Specific Plan III, and the Special Purpose Plan. Impact on Jobs/Housing Program The project would have no impact on the Jobs/Housing Program in Mountain House. The Special Purpose Plan Amendment does not apply to any areas planned for job-creating land uses. Housing affordability would not be impacted since the project would continue to: a) feature small lot development; b) require developers to provide second unit dwellings on 10% of the lots within the project area; and c) require developers to provide at least one floor plan with not more than 1,500 square feet of livable area on 10% of the lots within the project area. (It should be noted that the proposed Special Purpose Plan Amendment adds language that allows a developer to satisfy both (b) and (c) if the developer provides a single floor plan with a primary unit of 1,500 square feet or less of livable area and a second unit dwelling, plotted on 10% of the lotswithinthe project area.)
