• This finding can be made since County staff has concluded,based an assessment of the health-related concerns covered in the Mountain House Neighborhood"F"Project Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration,SCH#90020776, that the design of the subdivision,as conditioned,would either have no impact or less than significant impact on the health of future residents.Refer also to the Supplemental Findings attached to the staff report. 7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflictwith easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. • This finding can be made since there are no permanent access easements that have been acquired by the public at large within the subdivision. Public easements that will be needed to provide access to public facilities within the subdivision are incorporated into the design of the proposed subdivision. (Note:A temporary access easement or lease will be acquired by the CSD from Trimark for the interim sports park located to the north of the proposed subdivision. Once the facilities are no longer needed,when the permanent sports park is constructed,the easementwill be quitclaimed back to Trimark, or the lease terminated.)Refer also to the Supplemental Findings attached to the staff report. 8. Any land or improvementto be dedicated to a public agency is consistentwith the General Plan,the Master Plan,any applicable Specific Plan, any applicable Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This finding can be made since the lands or improvements to be dedicated to the CSD or the Lammersville School District(i.e., roads,entries, K-8 school site; sanitary sewer, public water, public storm drainage facilities;bike paths, pedestrian paths,multi-use path)are consistentwith the Public Land Equity Program and/or required to meet CSD Design and Construction Standards, both of which are implementation measures for the General Plan, Master Plan, Specific Plan I, and the Special Purpose Plan for Neighborhood"F." 9. The design of the subdivision provides,to the extent feasible,for future passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision,as required by Government Code 66473.1. • This finding can be made because the proposed subdivision has been laid out in a modified grid pattern,allowing most homes to face due north,south,east,or west,and because of the requirement for street trees. Since the street trees would be deciduous, in cooler seasons sun exposure to each home would be maximized to relieve natural gas demands for heating,while in warmer seasons tree foliage would provide shade relief thereby reducing electricity needs for air conditioning.Although passive solar design within the proposed subdivision is constrained because of Master Plan and Specific Plan I residential density requirements and the low angle of winter sunlight when passive heating is most needed,the lot orientation and street design coupled with the requirementfor, and characteristics of, street trees maximizes to the extent feasible the passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities within the proposed subdivision. Refer also to the Supplemental Findings attached to the staff report 10. All applicable provisions of the Mountain House Development Agreement have been met This finding can be made since the consistency analysis that has been conducted has found that the proposed subdivision is consistentwith the provisions of the Mountain House -29-
