MOUNTAIN HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD"F"PROJECT INITIAL STUDY <br /> areas west of San Joaquin County was conducted. The most recent version of the San Joaquin County of <br /> Governments(SJCOG)model was adjusted to include the most up-to-date growth assumptions for year <br /> 2010. The models include updated information regarding projected growth in San Joaquin County, <br /> Stanislaus County, Sacramento County and the San Francisco Bay Area. Current growth projections for <br /> San Joaquin County in 2010 are substantially less than projected in the 1994 Master Pan EIR because <br /> expected growth did not occur as rapidly as expected during the 1990s. <br /> Years 2010 Traffic Projections <br /> The land use assumptions used for the cumulative analysis for the Master Plan EIR were reviewed. It was <br /> found that the buildout of the Mountain House New Community as documented in the Master Plan EIR <br /> included 16,097 households and 19,919 jobs. The inclusion of second units and the units generated by the <br /> bonus density program were not included in the original EIR analysis. However, a factor reflecting vacant <br /> units was assumed. For the updated year 2010 analyses, the full buildout of the Mountain House <br /> Community was adjusted to reflect the most current development potential. For the housing component of <br /> the buildout of Mountain House, at total of 16,418 units were assumed. Further, a total of 22,001 jobs <br /> were included to reflect Table 3.3 from the Mountain House Master Plan. The slight increase in jobs <br /> from 19,919 to 22,001 reflects the most recent job estimates for the buildout of the Mountain House New <br /> Community. <br /> Trip Generation <br /> Table V-8 summarizes the trip generation assumptions for the full buildout of Mountain House found in <br /> both the former year 2010 and revised year 2010 models. The total number of AM and PM peak hour <br /> trips is reduced from that assumed in the Master Plan EIR. The reduction in trips is created by changes in <br /> residential unit types and the reallocation of non-residential land uses. The levels of AM and PM peak <br /> hour trips that travel off-site remain very similar. Therefore, the impacts associated with full buildout of <br /> the Mountain House Community would not be expected to be significantly different from those identified <br /> in the Master Plan EIR. Peak hour traffic is discussed in more detail below. <br /> Table V-8 <br /> MOUNTAIN HOUSE COMMUNITY TRIP GENERATION AT FULL BUILD OUT <br /> 2910 Buildout(FER1 �010 Buildout(1$1 <br /> AM Peak PM Peak Daily AM Peak I PM Peak Dail <br /> Inbound 4.900 00 4 4,89960,431 <br /> Outbound 4,300 6,200 69,800 3,861 4,463 60,420 <br /> Internal 7,000 9,400 133,700 6,919 9,220 128,475 <br /> TOTAL 16,200 ! 21,200 1 273,300 1 15,231 18,582 249,326 <br /> Source: Master Plan EIR Technical Appendix and Dowling Associates,Inc. <br /> 2010 Daily Roadway Impacts <br /> Table V-9 and Table V-10 provide comparisons between the projected daily traffic volumes on freeways <br /> and local arterials cited in the Master Plan EIR and those projected by the revised year 2010 model.
