MOUNTAIN HOUSE GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY FINDINGS <br /> Project Action or <br /> Consis- Conditions o <br /> Section tency Finding of Fact/Analysis Approval <br /> 1 Heading# Title Text Y/N/NA and Evidence of Compliance (COA) <br /> The proposed project includes 10 lots on 35.4 acres for <br /> industrial development and 12 lots on 30.4 acres for <br /> office commercial development, between De Anza <br /> Boulevard and Mountain House Parkway, immediately <br /> east of the residential area. In addition,neighborhood <br /> commercial uses would occur on one acre along <br /> Wicklund Crossing and community commercial uses <br /> would occur on 17.8 acres at the northeast corner of <br /> Mountain House Boulevard and Central Parkway. The <br /> number of jobs anticipated from commercial,office, <br /> Energy(Land and industrial uses would be over 3,000 jobs.

In addition,the street trees to be <br /> planted would be deciduous. Consequently, in cooler <br /> seasons, sun exposure to each home would be <br /> maximized to relieve home heating demands,while in <br /> warmer seasons, tree foliage would provide shade <br /> relief,thereby reducing electricity needs for air <br /> conditioning. Opportunities for passive heating in the <br /> subdivision, however, is still limited because of Master <br /> Plan and Specific Plan I residential density <br /> requirements and because of the low angle of winter <br /> sunlight when passive heating is most needed.
