Central Mountain House <br /> Building and grading permits have been issued for the first industrial park project in Mountain <br /> House. Titled "Mountain Technology Center". The construction will include a complex of five <br /> integrated light industrial, office, technical, and manufacturing buildings with plazas and <br /> courtyards. The project area is located immediately east of Neighborhood F, at the northeast <br /> corner intersection of Mustang Boulevard and De Anza Boulevard. This project is estimated to <br /> produce 895 jobs. <br /> Town Center <br /> Phase One of the future Town Center, consisting of building, grading, and street improvements, <br /> has begun. These improvements include the construction of Main Street, a new Town Hall (CSD <br /> Administration Building) and Library, and retail/commercial shopping plaza. At full buildout of the <br /> Town Center, it is estimated that over 2,000 jobs will be produced. <br /> Comments/Recommendations <br /> Based on the information and analysis provided in the Report, CDD staff offers the following <br /> comments/recommendations: <br /> • Market forces will dictate the types of non-residential development in Mountain House; <br /> however, there may need to be additional flexibility in the types of land uses permissible <br /> given the changing nature of business in an increasingly internet-driven economy, and the <br /> need for a changed retail experience since shopping is increasingly being conducted <br /> online. <br /> • Assuming that current market trends continue, it may be appropriate to consider, at the <br /> next Jobs/Housing Review, the expansion of the job attraction program in the Master Plan <br /> (Appendix 3-A) to include selected transportation and wholesaling business activities that <br /> stimulate economic development or have as large an economic impact (multiplier effect <br /> through the regional economy) as basic industries (e.g., advanced manufacturing and data <br /> equipment suppliers) <br /> • Given the lag in commercial and industrial jobs at this stage of development in Mountain <br /> House because of mitigating circumstances (as discussed in this staff report), and given <br /> the negative impact of said lag on jobs-to-housing ratios, it is recommended that the Board <br /> of Supervisors find that no action or revisions to the existing Jobs/Housing Program are <br /> necessary at this time, deferring future action until after the next Jobs/Housing Review <br /> has been completed and more commercial/industrial development has occurred. <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, Item #5 12/19/2019 —Jobs/Housing Review 11 <br />
