Mountain House Specific Plan III — .................................................................................................................................................................................. Specific Plan III consolidates Master Plan neighborhoods A and B into a single neighborhood(Neighborhood A/B), centering around a 31 acre community park and a single Neighborhood Center containing a neighborhood-serving commercial center,two schools, and a neighborhood park(with both active and passive _ recreation facilities). The eastern portion of Neighborhood D north of Grant Line Road is also located within Specific Plan III. A 114.3-acre Delta College campus,which was not part of the original Master Plan adopted in 1994, is now proposed to be located in the southwest portion of the Specific Plan III. The San Joaquin Delta Community College District(SJDCCD)is planning this new campus to meet enrollment needs in the South San Joaquin County area over the next 20 years.The campus would be developed in four phases.A joint use agreement between the MHCSD and SJDCCD will make available 7.0 acres of college athletic facilities for community use. The neighborhood parks, neighborhood commercial and elementary schools were consolidated into one — neighborhood center because of the introduction of the Community College; the location of the I-205 Freeway;the presence of two crisscrossing, high pressure gas and oil pipelines,and electrical transmission easements. The Master Plan requirements that schools not be located on an arterial road and to minimize the number of students crossing arterial roads further reduced the possible locations for the schools. Combining Neighborhoods A and B into a single neighborhood allows the schools to be more centrally located off arterial roadways, minimizes pedestrian crossing of arterial streets and achieves setback requirements for existing utility easements. Specific Plan III provides for a variety of housing types to accommodate a diversity of family incomes and lifestyle conditions.The residential units will have densities and sizes varying from medium-high density or high density units to single-family detached, low-density homes on 7,000 square-foot lots.The general residential density of Specific Plan III will be slightly higher than the Mountain House neighborhoods to the north and,as a result,will provide a relatively more affordable neighborhood context. The majority of the homes will be medium density, expected to range from 1,300 square feet to 2,800 square feet on a variety of lot sizes. Approximately 85%of the housing in Specific Plan III will be single-family detached and approximately 15%will be attached condominiums,townhomes, or apartments. It is anticipated that the variety of housing types proposed,including high density development,will provide housing for the employees of the industrial park at the comer of Mountain House Parkway and I-205 and Delta Community College and the other employment uses within Specific Plan III. 3-2 Draft 03114/05 .................................................................................................................................................................................
