S(A Matthews Tentative Map Project Description: The Matthews Tentative Map, which is submitted by Matthews Company, is located within the southern portion of the Mountain House New Town, in western San Joaquin County. This Tentative Map consists of 266 medium density residential lots, public streets, a portion of a neighborhood park, a portion of a community park, and open space areas including a landscaped trail corridor linking the neighborhood park and the community park and a number of in-tract landscaped parcels and pocket parks. For further details,please refer to the description below, the Tentative Map, map attachments, the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft (Specific Plan III or SPIII) dated 14 March 2005, prepared by EDAW, and the College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) dated 14 March 2005, prepared by EDAW, on file at the County. The proposed subdivision is being submitted concurrently with and as a part of SPIII. SPIII and accompanying General Plan, Mountain House Master Plan, and Development Title amendments ensure consistency between this Tentative Map and existing plans. Specific Plan III documents the compliance of this tentative map with all required studies, plans and actions relative to the provision of community facilities and services. Please refer to the SPIII document for a detailed discussion of services to be provided, including but not limited to schools, parks, fire, police, libraries and public infrastructure. The DEIR identifies and addresses all relevant, previously adopted mitigation measures with respect to this project. For discussion of how the proposed subdivision implements or is consistent with them,please see the DEIR and SPIII documents. Housing diversity requirements for type and cost of housing as well as the Master Plan goal of ensuring a jobs/housing balance over time are addressed on an area-wide basis by Specific Plan III through the inclusion of a wide variety of housing sizes and types, the provision for second units on a portion of the single-family detached house lots, and an appropriately balanced land use plan. This Tentative Map is one portion of the area planned in project-level detail by SPIII, and as such it is an important component in achieving the goals of the General Plan, the Mountain House Master Plan, and SPIII. The Matthews Tentative Map area occurs wholly within Neighborhood AB of Mountain House. The neighborhood design theme and architectural styles to be employed in this area, including streetscapes and the landscaped trail corridor are addressed in Specific Plan III, Chapter Four: Development and Design. A description of on- and off-site transportation improvements and transit to serve the project area, phasing and costs is provided in Specific Plan III, Chapter Nine: Transportation and Circulation. Please refer to that document for details. Management of construction traffic will be per Mountain House Community Services District requirements.
