Mountain House Specific Plan III .................................................................................................................................................................................. The Master Plan used the following assumptions: • Employed Residents per Household: An average of 1.44 employed residents(full-tune equivalents)per household are assumed. This value is assumed to be constant throughout project development. — • Non-Residential Absorption: The absorption of certain non-residential land uses(e.g.,Neighborhood Commercial, Community Commercial,public uses such as schools and parks)relates directly to the residential absorption due to the demand for basic retail goods and services by residents in the community. These land uses follow residential absorption with a short lag. Other non-residential land uses(e.g.,General Commercial, Industrial)are assumed to be absorbed after a sufficient employment base exists in the community and after maturing of the job creation program. • Jobs have been assumed to follow housing by an average delay of three years. The Master Plan directs that programs shall be instituted to attract and develop jobs in the community. Job development activities shall target specific types of industry that tend to offer higher salaries,including: • biomedical,biotech,bioengineering • professional health care services • high-tech(i.e., chip manufacturing, software development) • voice and data communication hardware and services • financial services,real estate, accounting and legal services — Land use allocations and regulatory controls shall support a jobs/housing balance,and land use changes or regulatory changes will not be made without giving consideration to the effects on a jobsihousing balance. The primary emphasis of the Jobs/Housing Program shall be to rely on market forces to attain desired jobs/housing goals, rather than on overt governmental action, such as restricting residential development, to correct jobs/housing imbalances. Non-residential land uses shall generally conform to the minimum job densities presented in Master Plan Table 3-1. Redesignation and rezoning of commercial and industrial land to non-employment uses(such as residential uses)shall be approved only if the County determines that the proposed redesignation or rezoning will not have a negative impact on the Mountain House Jobs/Housing and Affordable Housing Programs. 3.4.1.2 Specific Plan III Description — A balance of residential and employment uses is provided within the Specific Plan III planning area such that the jobs-housing balance set forth in the Master Plan is maintained. The total of 4,211 jobs are anticipated for the expected 3,150 employees residing within Specific Plan III for a jobs/housing ratio of 1.35. 3-40 Draft 03/14/05 .................................................................................................................................................................................
