MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED MACRADO TENTATIVE MAP 5.0 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE - the project site. Development will eliminate potential foraging or the limited potential nest habitat for nesting raptors. Detailed mitigation measures addressing the potential impacts of development on special-status species and habitat are incorporated in the 1994 MEIR and the 2005 SPIIIEIR. These mitigation measures were adopted as part of the Findings for the Master Plan and Specific Plan III approvals and incorporated into the Master Plan and Specific Plan. There is no new information or change in circumstances that would result in new significant environmental effects. b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively — considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects) — The cumulative impacts of the project have been addressed in the MEIR that addressed full buildout of Mountain House and SPIIIEIR that addressed impacts associated with buildout of — the Specific Plan III area. Cumulative development in the general area and region was also addressed in the MEIR. Since approval of the MHMP, some of the projects have been built or have been removed from application. To address the most recent conditions related to cumulative traffic, the traffic analysis conducted for the SPIIIEIR included runs of the countywide model,adopted by the MHCSD, which addresses growth to the year 2025. The MEIR addressed growth to the year 2010. The MEIR and SPIIIEIR adequately covered the other topics related to cumulative growth. Based upon the cumulative traffic analysis, no new impacts have been identified. The — SPIREIR did identify significant unavoidable impacts along freeway segments, which were also identified in the MEIR. The required findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were made for the MEIR and the SPIIIEIR, and the adoption of the Master — Plan and Specific Plan III related to this issue and other impacts that were found to be significant and unavoidable. c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? The proposed project will not have an environmental effect that can cause substantial adverse effects on human beings directly or indirectly as discussed throughout Chapter 4. 5-2
