adopted plans. It incorporates a coordinated system of auto, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities that provide efficient access within the project and to commercial and public destinations (e.g., K-8 school, Neighborhood Park, Mountain House Creek Community Park). It creates distinctive and livable residential environments. In addition, all landscape, hardscape and street elements within the proposed subdivisions would be designed and constructed in accordance with the adopted MHCSD Design Manual and community approvals regarding specific themes and material variation. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed. This finding can be made since the analysis conducted by CDD has found that the site is physically suitable to accommodate the residential uses proposed. This analysis is based on the improvements proposed; the assessment of the hydrology and water quality of the site; and the use of BMPs (Best Management Practices)for storm drainage improvement. 4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. • This finding can be made since the analysis conducted by CDD has found that the area proposed for development is adequate in size to accommodate the density of development proposed, consistent with the Master Plan and Specific Plan II. 5. Neither the design of the subdivision nor any proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. • This finding can be made because the proposed subdivisions,as conditioned, r would be required to comply with applicable Federal and State laws for the protection of fish or wildlife or their habitat(e.g., Section 401 of the Clean Water Act with respect to Mountain House Creek water quality; Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for creek modifications; Federal and State Endangered Species Acts), and because the applicant will participate in the San Joaquin County Multi- Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). The proposed subdivisions would also be subject to the Mountain House community monitoring and mitigation monitoring programs. In addition,the project incorporates all pertinent mitigation measures identified in the Mountain House Master Plan Master EIR,and the expanded Mountain House Specific Plan II Initial Study did not find any additional potentially significant impacts. 6. The design of the subdivision or type of improvement is not likely to cause significant public health problems. • This finding can be made since CDD has concluded (based on the Specific Plan ll Initial Study)that the design of the subdivisions, as conditioned,would either have no impact or less than significant impact on the health of future residents. 7. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. • This finding can be made because there are no public access easements that would be acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision that will be negatively affected by the proposed 35
