Mountain House Specific Plan III ........................................................................................................................................................................... and service requirements for the Neighborhood Center. The Neighborhood Center in Neighborhood D is within the boundaries of Specific Plan II west of the boundary of Specific Plan III and will,therefore,be addressed in Specific Plan 11. Neighborhood AB has a Neighborhood Center of approximately 42.0 acres as shown in Figure 4-28. The Neighborhood Center contains two K-8 schools with a neighborhood park separating the schools. The school sites are 15.5 acres and 16.5 acres and are accessed by collector roads at the school entrance r area. The neighborhood park between the K-8 schools is 8.5 acres and contains two 2.5 acre ballfields that are designated as joint use areas for the adjacent schools. Shared use of school buildings, park and L school facilities and school parking is anticipated. A 1.5-acre neighborhood commercial site is located across the street from the neighborhood park and schools. The Neighborhood Commercial and Neighborhood Park are located at the intersection of a residential collector and the open space corridor, allowing easy access to the Neighborhood Center. A variety of public and private uses are encouraged within the Neighborhood Center with a common architectural and landscape theme used throughout,compatible with the residential character of the neighborhood. A Prairie and Spanish Colonial architecture theme neighborhood has been established for the Neighborhood Center with the school in the northwest area having a Prairie style,and the school in the southeast area having the Spanish Colonial Style. The neighborhood commercial site will accommodate retail uses and space for a community facility such as a day care center,recreation building,or meeting hall, if such community uses cannot be provided within the neighborhood school or community park.Neighborhood Commercial areas are intended to serve the daily needs of people in the neighborhood. Outdoor dining areas,pedestrian plazas,and sitting areas are encouraged in the neighborhood commercial site,and should be oriented toward the adjacent open space corridor. Adjacent residential uses are also an integral part of the Neighborhood Center. The consistent treatment and requirements identified for residential and neighborhood commercial areas will reinforce the neighborhood theme and help minimize incompatibilities between the various uses.
