and between County of San Joaquin and Mountain House Community Services District and PCCP Mountain House Relative to the Development of Certain Property within the Mountain House Community, collectively referred to as"Development Agreement", approved by Ordinance 4277 in November of 2005). The Development Agreement for the proposed residential development for the most part mirrors the Mountain House Development Agreement(Amended and Restated Master Plan Development Agreement by and between County of San Joaquin and Trimark Communities Relative to the Development of Certain Property within the Mountain House Community), modifying and supplementing its provisions only as necessary. Like the Mountain House Development Agreement, it vests (i.e., locks in) certain provisions/sections of the General Pian, Mountain House Master Plan, the Mountain House Development Title, and Specific Plan III for the duration of said Development Agreement (i.e., 25 years with three possible 5-year extensions). Included as vested elements of the Development Agreement are the"Permitted Uses" and "Lot and Structure Standards"of the Mountain House Development Title. In order to have one Mountain House Development Title (and not several versions, one for each of the separate development agreements that have been executed), any changes to these vested elements would require the agreement of developers who have vested these Permitted Uses and Lot and Structure Standards in their own development agreements. All such developers have agreed to the changes in the proposed Mountain House Development Title Text Amendment relative to Permitted Uses and Lot and Structure Standards. Concerning the payment of fees, the Development Agreement specifies that both ministerial and discretionary permits would be subject to the fees"lawfully enacted and in force and effect at the time the application therefore is filed"(normally, when an application for a building permit is filed). In almost all instances this is true. However, building permits that are processed subsequent to the approval of the proposed Tentative Map would not be subject to the County's Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF), which was adopted January 17, 2006. Language in the Development Agreement in effect excludes future developments covered by the Development Agreement(including the proposed residential development)from paying the RTIF. Such developments are only obligated to pay their pro rata share of transportation improvements identified in the Mountain House Transportation Improvement Fee(MHTIF) program and the County's Transportation Impact Mitigation Fee (TIMF) program. Only under very limited circumstances (see"Note" below)would future developments be subject to any of the transportation improvements identified in the RTIF program. [Note: In order to require future developments covered by the Development Agreement to pay for any additional County transportation improvements, such transportation improvements would need to be added to the TIMF program. This could only occur if subsequent traffic studies determine that the Mountain House community is contributing to the need for said improvements. These improvements may then be added to the TIMF, provided Mountain House's fair share obligation is determined prior to the inclusion in the TIMF program and provided that Mountain House is required to fund only its fair share obligation for these transportation improvements. (Refer to Section 3.5.12.A.4 of the Development Agreement.)] PLEP Obligations. The Public Land Equity Program (PLEP)ordinance requires the owner of each proposed subdivision in Mountain House to dedicate 21.2 percent of the land area of said subdivision to the applicable public agency in satisfaction of that subdivision's fair-share contribution for("qualifying") public lands in Mountain House. (Qualifying public lands are public lands shown on the Mountain House Master Plan and include school sites, parks, some open space lands,Arterial roads, and some Collector streets.) For the purposes of the Public Land Equity Program (PLEP), the public land dedication requirement for the proposed residential development is 5.43 acres (21.2% X 25.6 26
