Subdivision of the land into a total of 1,006 lots (see Figure 2)has been proposed. Of these, 978 lots would be for single-family residential use and four large lots would be set aside for high-density residential development. Public facilities would include an elementary school on 15.94 acres and other undefined public uses as allowed by the zoning code on 2.93 acres at the intersection of Central Parkway and Mascot Boulevard.

The first amendment is to the Mountain House Master Plan and Specific Plan 1, and the amendment reduces the build- out number of travel lanes along Mountain House Parkway to four, instead of six. The second amendment is an amendment to the prior adopted Special Purpose Plan for Neighborhood"F". The amendments to this document include multiple minor amendments including the removal of the prior alley concept around the neighborhood center, removal of the attached housing requirement along the south side of the neighborhood entry road, and addition of pedestrian alleys around the neighborhood center parcel, and c:UOMSICIMM ,=YTINALINmALMDY-PARTIDDC(7naroo) 5 D.
