L Mountain House Speck Plan III .................................................................................................................................................................................. The residential portion of Specific Plan III north of Grant Line Road(i.e., eastern portion of Neighborhood D) will be developed with detached homes generally ranging in size from approximately 1,300 to 2,400 square feet in the medium density category.Two medium-high and/or high density parcels with for-sale condominiums will also be developed in the area. While Specific Plan II and Specific Plan III share Neighborhood D, a common landscape theme ties the neighborhood together with a central focus on its neighborhood center and a special purpose plan to be developed under Specific Plan II. r Open space corridor connections are provided between the neighborhoods and the community parks and other open space corridor areas.These connections consist of a linear park system,multi-use paths,traits,local r streets with sidewalks,and bikeways. Bicycle and pedestrian access are also provided to community-wide destinations such as community parks,community shopping centers, schools, the Town Center,and churches. i.. Convenient walking access is provided to the A/B Neighborhood Center with all residential units located within three fourths of a mile as required by the Master Plan. This Neighborhood Center includes two K-8 schools,a neighborhood park, a neighborhood commercial area,and a transit stop.Neighborhood A/B is sized to support two neighborhood schools. Except for Central Parkway, only local or collector streets occur within the neighborhood. Central Parkway is aligned to provide direct access to the Community College and to L minimize the number of students who need to cross an arterial street to gain access to school. Students living in the residential units located west of Central Parkway will have to cross Central Parkway to get to school. However,a school bus system will be provided by LESD financed partially by the College District. The two K-8 schools are located on separate collector streets with additional local streets providing access. The ` entrances and building fronts will be oriented onto collector streets to the degree feasible in order to maximize the civic presence of the school and provide adequate access. Public open spaces and uses front onto public streets to the greatest degree possible in order to give character and beauty to the street. Open space corridors with pathways link the schools to residential areas allowing students a safe walk to school with a minimum of street crossings. Open space corridors include the neighborhood open space corridor system,a variety of perimeter edge conditions, slope landscape areas in the northwest knoll area,the northwest neighborhood park, trail corridors along the major gas and electricity easements, and most importantly the community park which provides the central recreation and open space corridor for the neighborhood. See Figure 3.2. All residential areas will be within '/2 mile of a park or open space corridor.
