Mitigation Measure 4.2-1(e): Develop a new pedestrian plan with paths following open space corridors and connecting neighborhood commercial and employment areas. The Mitigated Plan proposes a pedestrian path system along linear parks and connecting neighborhood commercial, employment areas, and other destinations such as schools, parks, and the Town Center. The Mitigated Plan also locates both golf courses north of Byron Road in order to facilitate better linkages between neighborhoods and better connections from neighborhoods to the Town Center. Mitigation Measure 4.2-1(f): Bike paths should follow open space corridors and two- lane and larger roadways. The Mitigated Plan proposes bike paths along the linear parks and along two-lane and larger roadways. Mitigation Measure 4.2-1(g): Include identifiable neighborhoods of 3,000 to 5,000 residences. The Mitigated Plan proposes three "villages" of about 5,000 units each. The villages each contain three to five "neighborhoods", each of which centers on one of the 12 K-8 schools/parks proposed for Mountain House, and includes a location for neighborhood commercial or other facilities. A community commercial center serves each of the three villages. Mitigation Measure 4.2-1(j): Size neighborhood commercial areas to serve only their target neighborhoods. The Mitigated Plan proposes a small neighborhood center in each of the 12 neighborhoods. The center could include retail or other facilities such as churches, day care centers, or other uses. In this way, the plan will accommodate uses which are in local demand but will not "overzone" for commercial. Mitigation Measure 4.2-1(k): If a community commercial area is located north of Byron Road, it should be surrounded by more intensive uses. Alternatively, only one community commercial district should occur. The Mitigated Plan proposes one community commercial area within each of the three "villages", plus community commercial at the Town Center. These community commercial centers offer the full range of goods and services to provide about 5,000 households with their daily and weekly shopping needs. The centers are about 15 acres in size to support a modern grocery, drugstore and shops. The intent is to provide adequate retail services close to each residential sector, thus reducing the need for -2 - The SWA G."ou;
