Almost all the non-residential development has been public-sector development(schools, <br /> college, and public services). Commercial development consists of a community market, a credit <br /> card processing office, real estate offices, a gymnasium, chiropractor, and dental offices. <br /> Data shows that most employed Mountain House residents are commuting for work,with more <br /> than half of employees travelling at least 45 minutes and more than 25 miles. In addition, most <br /> jobs in Mountain House are being filled by persons living outside of Mountain House. <br /> Approximately nine percent of jobs in Mountain House are filled by persons living in the <br /> community.While this percentage is low, it is similar to the city of Pleasanton. Wages of jobs <br /> located in Mountain House are very similar to those of similar occupations in Alameda County <br /> and San Joaquin County. <br /> 1.3 JOBS TO HOUSING RATIO FINDINGS <br /> The primary finding of the Study is that the jobs to housing balance is not as high as it was <br /> estimated to be at this stage of development in the MHMP. Ninety-eight percent of employed <br /> persons living in Mountain House commute elsewhere for work. Because of minimal <br /> commercial and industrial development,job creation has not reached the estimate of 5,872 <br /> jobs at 5,932 residential units developed in the MHMP (based on achieving a MHMP jobs to <br /> housing ratio of 0.99 which is the buildout goal) or 4,686 jobs using a ratio of 0.79(the MHMP <br /> projected ratio with completion of 4,000 units).Total Mountain House jobs (including full and <br /> part time jobs) is estimated at 605 as of December 2018.Almost all the jobs in Mountain House <br /> have been created by institutional uses such as schools, Delta College, and public services. <br /> Lammersville School District generated 393 out of the total 605 jobs in Mountain House. <br /> The MHMP estimated a best-case jobs to housing ratio of 0.79 with development of 4,000 <br /> housing units.This Study finds the best-case ratio to be 0.17 with 5,932 units completed.The <br /> minimum ratio,which is defined in the MHMP and in Section 3 of the Study, is 0.09 with 5,932 <br /> units completed, which compares to an estimate of 0.70 in the MHMP with development of <br /> 4,000 units. <br /> Figure 1 depicts the different jobs to housing ratios calculated in the Study for Mountain House. <br /> The orange colored bars in the figure show the estimated MHMP projected ratios at 4,000 units. <br /> These are labeled "MP Projected Best Case", "MP Projected Minimum", and "MP Projected <br /> Population-Serving". <br /> The blue bars labeled "Best Case","Minimum",and "Population-Serving", show calculated <br /> current ratios at 5,932 units completed, using the same formulas in the MHMP. Population- <br /> Serving only counts jobs that serve Mountain House residents.The figure shows that within <br /> Mountain House the number of jobs generated per residential unit is not as high as estimated in <br /> the MHMP using any of the three jobs to housing ratio methodologies. <br /> Figure 1 also shows industry standard jobs to housing ratios.These are green bars labeled "Jobs <br /> to Households", "Jobs to Housing Units", and "Jobs to Employed Labor Force". <br /> Figure 1 <br /> Mountain House Jobs Housing Review Final November 2019 Page 3 <br />
