The Community Park acreage fcnrns a linear park along Mountain House Creek, establishing the primary open space feature through the community(see Figure 7.1), Itis estimated that 92 acres will be set aside for this park, although this acreage may increase to include detention basins once more detailed drainage and runoff information is available. Mountain House Creek runs northeastlsouthwest through the community_ The creek corridor presents an opportunity far creation of wildlife habitat,and a cofridor for wildlife to travel along; recreational activities; as well as a course for stormwater runoff. Existing wildlife habitat value along the creek is quite limited due to decades of agricultural practices_ Once the community develops out, however, the value of the creek corridor will increase greatly as it will be the only remaining path for wildlife to access Old River from the agricultural and grazing lands to the west. Mountain House Creek now contains about alght acres of freshwater marsh{based on the united States Army Corps of Engineers approved delineation). Some of these marshes were created as a result of irrigation practices_ The riparian woodlands on-site (with the exception of Old River) are in a degraded Condition, with more introduced species than natives.The remainder of the creek is relatively narrow with out the width and diversity of channel farm needed to provide fora high value riparian system, Chapter Seven Page 7.92 Resolution Template 01/2023
