(e.g.,compatible siting of land uses, inclusion of residential support services, coordination of land uses with transportation). The project is consistent with General Plan policies since: 1)the infrastructure planned would meet the requirements and standards of the County and the Mountain House Community Services District(MHCSD); 2) all necessary on-site and off-site easements and dedications for the maintenance of the water, sewer,and storm systems shown on the proposed Tentative Map would be provided; 3)the waste management requirements of the County and the MHCSD would be met; 4)energy resources would be conserved and air pollution minimized by means of participation in adopted plans(e.g.,TDM Plan); and 5)transportation improvements adequate to serve the proposed project would be constructed. With respect to the Master Plan/Specific Plan III,the consistency review found that the proposed subdivision addresses the affordable housing objectives expressed in these plans by meeting Master Plan/Specific Plan III requirements for housing diversity and affordability. To meet Master Plan/Specific Plan III requirements regarding noise,future residents of the subdivision would be protected from excessive outdoor and indoor noise levels via landscaping,wall treatments,and construction requirements for homes.To promote greater energy efficiency and accessibility in accordance with MasterPlan requirements,development of the subdivision would incorporate a number of design features. With respect to the Public Financing Plan;the consistency review has determined the proposed subdivision is consistent with said plan because: 1)development of the subdivision would finance the pro-rata cost of infrastructure needed to serve it, through a combination of impact fees, monthly utility charges, special taxes and MHCSD special taxes; and 2)development of the subdivision would pay the cost of mitigating impacts on existing facilities,infrastructure and the environment. Finally,the consistency review has determined that the conditions of approval for the subdivision along with the applicable Mitigation Measures from the Specific Plan III EIR would also help assure consistency with all applicable adopted plans. 2. The design or improvements of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan,the Master Plan, Specific Plan III, and any applicable Special Purpose Plan. This finding can be made since the analysis conducted by the Community Development Department has found that the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision,as shown on the Tentative Map, is consistent with the (amended)General Plan,Master Plan,and Specific Plan III,and the proposed Special Purpose Plan. The design of the proposed subdivision would facilitate the development of a variety of housing opportunities for future residents, including housing for residents at various income levels(as evidenced by the number of small lot and small home products and second unit dwelling options). It would help enable residential density requirements of adopted plans to be met. It would allow for the incorporation of a coordinated system of auto, pedestrian,and bicycle facilities that provide efficient access within the project and to commercial and public destinations. it would help create a distinctive and livable residential environment within the project. Concerning design, all landscape, hardscape and street elements within the proposed subdivision would be designed and constructed in accordance with the adopted community approvals regarding specific themes and material variation. The design and improvements of the proposed subdivisions have also been found to 29
