MACKAY &SOMPS Justification: 1-Changing Market Conditions: The changing market conditions make it favorable to Plan for more Residential Housing. The amendments are proposed because of these current changes in the market. There was a recent study done to support this with on-going research into the exact balance to strike between housing and jobs within the plan area. Mountain House Community Services District (MHCSD) conducted a study titled the "Mountain House Land Use Revolution: Impact on Development & Jobs/Hosing Balance" and the proposed amendments are in line with the data that is being generated. E-commerce and the recent rise of working-from-home has helped to change this balance of jobs and housing. The wants and needs of the current population are in line with these proposed amendments to convert other existing land uses into land uses available for additional housing opportunities. This condition applies to all the proposed amendments. 2-Lands designated for Public Facilities no Longer needed for Future Development: • Site 1 -Tract 4098 (A3 Addition): a 0.7± AC site MHCSD determined that this small undersized Public Facility site was no longer needed for the future development of the Mountain House Community and the site became available for residential development potential. • Site 3 - Tract 3618 (Neighborhood B11): a 17.3± AC site Lammersville School District (LUSD) determined that they do not need the second K-8 School Site which was designated in this area of the Mountain House Community. The whole site became available for residential development potential. The proposed land use change takes place over the portion of the site designated for a school but retains the park site. This change was written into the Mountain House Specific Plan III to be allowed in the event of a determination of this kind by the School District. 10
