^ Density Bonus Units Specific Plan II requires the construction of 32 Density Bonus Units in Neighborhood L. The responsibility for providing these units is split between the proposed Neighborhood L Tentative Map and a future Tentative Map for the Neighborhood L area included in the Cunha property. Consequently, based on their percentage of the total R/H acreage in Neighborhood L, it was determined that 13 Density Bonus Units would be required for the Neighborhood L Tentative Map and 19 Density Bonus Units would be required for the Cunha property. CDD has added a Condition of Approval No. 12c to require the construction of these 13 Density Bonus Units for the Neighborhood L Tentative Map. Public Land Equity Program Under the Public Land Equity Program (PLEP), each Tentative Map is required to dedicate its fair share of public lands to the Mountain House community equal to 21.2% of the mapped area. The actual amount of public land proposed to be developed by the Neighborhood K Tentative Map is less than the amount needed to meet PLEP requirements. The deficit(referred to as a Public Land Deficit) is 6.8 acres. The subdivider must correct this deficit by dedicating additional land, transferring fee title ownership of private land, and/or submitting land vouchers to the MHCSD to make up for the Public Land Deficit. If the PLEP is revised prior to the approval of the first Final Map, the subdivider will need to comply with the methods for correcting any Public Land Deficit that are specified in the revised PLEP. The actual amount of public land proposed for the proposed Neighborhood L Tentative Map is in excess of the PLEP requirement. The amount of the surplus is 38.17 acres. Police Protection The Master Plan states that"at an urban level of development police protection shall be provided to the Mountain House community at an urban level of 1.5 sworn officers per 1,000 population or such other levels that may be specified in the General Plan consistent with the standards for comparable urban communities within San Joaquin County, and any additional needs determined by the community." [Master Plan, Section 6.2, Policy (a)] The proposed project is projected to add approximately 6,300 residents to Mountain House(not including persons residing in second unit dwelling). Based on the above Master Plan ratio, the project could generate a demand for approximately ten more additional sworn officers at build out. Currently, the MHCSD (through an existing agreement with the San Joaquin County Sheriffs Department) has paid for two officers whom the Sheriffs Department hired specifically to patrol the Mountain House community, for a population of approximately 7,400. The service agreement between the MHCSD and the Sheriffs Department calls for negotiations for an enhanced level of service during the build out of the community. Agricultural Buffers The Mountain House Master Plan calls for agricultural buffers along the Community edges and for interim agricultural edges. Those requirements carried through to Specific Plan IL To comply with these requirements, a minimum 300-foot wide setback is proposed between from the residential units in the eastern boundary of Neighborhood L and the existing agricultural operations to the east, outside of the Mountain House community. Regional open space lands (within the project site) and Wicklund Cut provide this buffer. The proposed Old River Regional Park would extend along the northern boundary of Neighborhoods K and L, providing the required r- buffer. Old River would also serve as a buffer for agricultural lands to the north. 31
