MOUNTAIN I-ousF-PROPOSES ALTAMONT HEIGHTS TENTATIVE MAP 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> There are any additional environmental effects not previously examined in the SPIIIEIR; <br /> or <br /> • Any new mitigation measures are required. <br /> Consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c)and Public Resources Code Section <br /> 21083, if the County finds that the answers to the foregoing inquiries are negative, then the <br /> County may approve the entitlements requested by the project as being within the scope of <br /> the SPIIIEIR and that no new environmental document is required. Regardless of whether a <br /> new environmental document is required, the mitigation measures identified in the SPIIIEIR <br /> are applicable to the project. <br /> USE.OF THE SPIIIEIR AND AUTHORITY FOR CHECKLIST <br /> The Master EIR(San Joaquin County, 1994) was adopted in 1994 for the Mountain House <br /> New Community Master Plan. The Master Plan dictated that the entire Mountain House <br /> community would be divided into specific plan areas. The proposed project site is located <br /> within Specific Plan III, thus many of the topics relevant to the Checklist were previously <br /> evaluated in the MEIR in 1994 and in the Specific Plan III EIR. <br /> The MEIR included a number of mitigation treasures that were applicable to the Master Plan <br /> and Specific Plan III. Some mitigation measures were incorporated into the adopted Master <br /> Plan and others applied to future stages of permitting and development. Thus, the SPIIIEIR <br /> included mitigation measures of the MEIR, as well as those resulting from developing the <br /> Specific Plan III area. <br /> The conclusion of this Checklist is that the project is within the scope of the SPIIIEIR, that <br /> no new environmental effects will occur, and that no new mitigation measures are required. <br /> Therefore, as provided by CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c), no new environmental <br /> document is required. <br /> PREVIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION <br /> Earlier environmental documents assessing Mountain House and individual projects include <br /> the following: <br /> 1.
