MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD'F"PROJECT INITIAL STUDY Road,the applicant has proposed an interim discharge channel, a deflection berm, and a flood diversion bend (see Figure 3). An interim flood protection berm is also proposed north of Byron Road just north of the proposed water treatment plant. Roads and Transit Improvements. Roadway improvements for the project are expected to be identified by way of conditions of approval for this application, and the specific improvements are envisioned to be built in phases according to levels of service and access requirements for each incremental phase of the subject subdivision. Actual improvements for the site are anticipated to be constructed either by the Mountain House Community Services District(MHCSD)via developers'payment of roadway impact fees, or by the applicant with fee credits being taken against actual improvements being constructed. The proposed improvements for project-related roads(see Figure 2)include the following: Mountain House Parkway. The Master Plan calls for Mountain House Parkway(north-south arterial)to be constructed ultimately to a minimum of four lanes by the buildout of the entire community. However, the traffic study used by the applicant for this(Neighborhood"F")project calls for initial phased construction of the two southbound lanes in the vicinity of the project. This road currently has one southbound and one northbound lane. The phasing would also include proper turning movements at first phase intersections, and transition lanes where the phased improvements revert to existing conditions along this road both north and south of the proposed project (see Roadway Improvement Plan available at the San Joaquin County Community Development Department). De Anza Boulevard. The Master Plan calls for the ultimate construction of four lanes on De Anza Boulevard (north-south arterial)to occur on a phased basis during community buildout. T'he traffic study prepared for the project calls for a minimum of two lanes between Mascot Boulevard and Mountain House Boulevard along the adjacent industrial and office commercial parcels for access considerations only. No warrants for any other through traffic considerations or other level of service considerations are called for during the buildout of this subdivision, according to the Optrans traffic study. Specific intersection improvements where De Anza connects to other project roadways may be appropriate based on traffic safety considerations. Mountain House Boulevard. The Master Plan calls for the ultimate construction of four lanes for this east- west arterial, occurring on a phased basis during community buildout. The Optrans traffic study calls for a minimum of two lanes between Mountain House Parkway and the nearest collector that may be required for access purposes. As phases of the subdivision progress, Mountain House Boulevard will ultimately be extended to Central Parkway. Specific intersection improvements where Mountain House Boulevard connects to other project roadways may be appropriate based on traffic safety considerations. Central Parkway. This north-south arterial at the west edge of the project site does not currently exist. The Optrans traffic study concluded that no improvements for traffic safety purposes are required for Central Parkway as part of this subdivision proposal. However, the traffic analysis contained herein for this Initial Study recommends improvements to Central Parkway as part of the project. The Mountain House Community Services District (CSD) may also require such improvements or bonding as an alternative to actual construction by the applicant. Mascot Boulevard. For this east-west arterial at the south end of the project site, the Master Plan calls for the ultimate construction of four lanes occurring on a phased basis during community buildout. The traffic study prepared for the applicant calls for a minimum of two lanes between Mountain House Parkway and the nearest collector which may be required for access purposes. As phases of this subdivision progress, Mascot Boulevard will ultimately be extended to Central Parkway. Specific intersection improvements where Mascot Boulevard connects to other project roadways may be appropriate based on traffic safety considerations. c QOBSWC NrrLAL MUDY\PNALNmALS=Y•PART1.1)0C Ilrsaoo> 13 II.
