2 Specific Plan); allow for storm water to be discharged to BMPs in the golf course; provide for fencing regulations along the Dry Creek corridor. Because the Master Plan land use map is the General Plan Community Plan 2010 map for Mountain House, any Master Plan map amendment automatically amends the General Plan map. (Note:There are no General Plan text amendments proposed for the project.) The Specific Plan II Amendment would do the following with respect to Neighborhoods I and J: Revise the acreage by zoning district, including the introduction of R-MH zoning acreage; provide for multifamily housing; revise the pedestrian and automobile circulation systems; revise the golf/recreation center; revise the parks to include a linear park system with smaller neighborhood parks but slightly larger overall park area; provide that portions of the Dry Creek conveyance that are subject to Army Corps of Engineers regulatory jurisdiction will be left undisturbed; revise the flood system to allow the stormwater to flow to BMPs within the golf course prior to being routed to the lake/BMP system within Neighborhood K; and provide for the filling of the areas directly behind the existing levee in a gradual fill-back to the limits of existing FEMA designation (to bring the project site out of the 100 year floodplain). In addition, the Specific Plan II Amendment would eliminate the senior housing restriction on the 5-acre R-MH site in Neighborhood H. It would also adjust the configuration of the R-MH and Regional Park acreages within Neighborhood K such that the same acreage for each land use would be maintained while accommodating a new access road from Central Parkway to the existing and future Old River home site lots. (It should be noted that this new access road would allow residents of the Old River home sites to reach their lots without having to travel through local streets within Neighborhood I, thereby allowing Neighborhoods I and J to be developed as a gated community.)
