r.. MOUNTAIN HOUSE MASTER PLAN Policies: a) Details of certain focus areas may be deferred in the initial Specific Plan for an area. Prior to the approval of a Development Permit for development in these areas, a Special Purpose Plan shall be approved. The focus areas include the following: • Central Commercial Area • Village Centers • Neighborhood Centers • Freeway Service portion of Mountain House Business Park. b) Special Purpose Plans for Neighborhood Centers shall be provided in conjunction with school planning and before the submittal of the first development permit for the neighborhood. A Special Purpose Plan may not be necessary if a sufficient level of detail for the Neighborhood Center is included in the Specific Plan, or if the neighborhood center is included in a planned development plan for the neighborhood. Special Purpose Plans for other focus areas shall be approved prior to the approval of Development Permits for that focus area, unless plans for the entire focus area are submitted as part of a Planned Development application. C) Special Purpose Plans for focus areas shall address site planning including building locations, parking, circulation, relationship to adjacent areas, landscape design, signage, lighting, site furnishings, and transit facilities. 17.7 DEVELOPMENT PERMITS 17.7.1 Definition of Development Permit County "Development Permits" as used in this Master Plan, are either discretionary permits (except for those of a legislative nature) or ministerial permits. "Discretionary permits" involve some discretion on the part of the Review Authority, and they may be approved, denied, or approved subject to conditions. "Ministerial permits" allow no discretion by the Review Authority; they must be approved if the application meets specified requirements. While discretionary permits are subject to the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, ministerial permits are not. Examples of discretionary permits are tentative subdivision maps, use permits, and variances. Examples of ministerial permits are final subdivision maps, encroachment permits, grading permits, and building permits. 17.7.2 Exceptions to First Development Permit Many of the implementation measures in this plan must be completed prior to the submittal of the First Development Permit. Exceptions to the First Development Permit are as follows. a) Long Lead Items: Applications and approvals for long lead, public facilities shall be exempt from the definition of First Development Permit.
