those covering system improvements beyond those necessary to serve the development);5) identified adverse environmental impacts will be mitigated;6)adequate school facilities will be made available as needed;7) waste management services consistent with the County's waste management plans will be provided;8) recreational,transportation,and other improvements will be coordinated and provided in accordance with County timing requirements;9)energy resources will be conserved and air pollution minimized by means of participation in adopted plans(e.g., CMP, TDM)and the inclusion of public transit,bicycle,and pedestrian facilities in project design; 10) transportation improvements,adequate to serve the proposed subdivision,will be constructed;and 11)programs and actions to ensure protection and preservation of riparian and other habitats, special status species,and commercial agriculture(i.e. SJCMSCP[or HMP], agricultural buffers, edge treatments)will be implemented. Master Plan and Specific Plan I Consistency As noted in the Staff Report, the proposed subdivision meets both the land use requirements and the density requirements of the Master Plan and Specific Plan as discussed previously. The project provides jobs/housing balance of 1.43 jobs per employed resident, at buildout. It should be noted that with the addition of the buildouts of Specific Plan I, additional residential areas will be added that would lower the jobs/housing ratio. The ultimate jobs/housing ratio is required to be .99. The project provides for affordable housing by paying an affordable housing fee and includes approximately 480 multi-family units which would be affordable to low and moderate income families, as proposed in the application. The overall development design incorporates the requirements of the Master Plan and the Specific Plan through its landscaping, edge treatments, entries and public art which will be provided in the park. The project will provide for a K-8 school in the center under Lammersville School District, and a high school will be located to the south of the project in the future. Until the time that the facilities are built, interim facilities are being funded by the developer. Children will attend school at Lammersville School , and at the West High School in Tracy. Land for childcare facilities are being dedicated as part of the school dedication; and as a condition within the Development Agreement, the developer will take the lead in marketing the property to a childcare provider. Interim library facilities have been funded as part of the financing program adopted by the CSD. Police protection will be provided by the Sheriff, as contracted by the CSD. Fire protection will be provided on the southwest corner of the site on Central Parkway and Mascot Blvd., where an interim or permanent fire facility will be built, as conditioned. Hazards, such as fuel lines and asbestos, have been addressed in the Conditions of Approval, and a Fuel Line Relocation Plan has been submitted as part of the project application. A neighborhood park of five acres is being dedicated as part of the community center, and as conditioned. An interim park is being located north of the project on 15 acres, which will ultimately be relocated to the community park area, northwest of the project in the future. The interim field will contain sports fields and open play areas. As noted, it is recommended that a mini-park of one-half acre be provided in the southwest corner of the site for local residents living more than one-half mile walking or bicycling distance from the park. Biological mitigations are being implemented through the SJMSCP when adopted, and if it is not adopted through the Habitat Management Plan that was adopted with the Master Plan. Also, pre- construction surveys are required as conditions of approval, and the project must meet all State and Federal laws regarding endangered species and wetlands. The project is required to provide energy efficient infrastructure, as conditioned by the CSD; and all streets and highways must be either constructed or payments made for improvements as required in the Master Plan and Conditions of Approval, and as shown on the Tentative Map. Pedestrian and bicycle paths are provided throughout the project. Class III bicycle lanes are provided on collector streets and Class I bicycle provided on arterial streets. The project is conditioned to remove a proposed pedestrian -20-
