Section 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This Mountain House Jobs Housing Review (the Study) has been prepared in fulfillment of Chapter Three Section 3.9 of the Mountain House Master Plan (MHMP)which specifies that the County shall review progress of the Mountain House jobs/housing program at the following intervals: • Prior to approval of any Specific Plan containing residential development, but no sooner than after 2,000 residential units have been constructed (excluding the first Specific Plan or Specific Plan Amendment); • When 4,000, 8,000, 12,000, and 16,000 residential units have been completed and annual monitoring information becomes available, if a review has not already been conducted in the previous calendar year; and • At any other times determined appropriate by the Board of Supervisors(e.g., scheduling of a jobs/housing review by the Board to evaluate the circumstances for non- achievement of jobs/housing ratios). The jobs/housing review has been triggered by the completion of more than 4,000 residential units. As of the end of December 2018,5,932 residential units have been completed in Mountain House. The MHMP jobs/housing program tracks the balance within the community between jobs and housing(the jobs to housing ratio). Mountain House has a job to housing ratio goal of 0.99 by project buildout.This ratio means that for every house in the community there are 0.99 jobs in the community. 1.2 ECONOMIC CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND Mountain House is situated in the Altamont Corridor within San Joaquin County and abutting Alameda County. Map 1 on the next page shows the Mountain House Census Designated Place (CDP) in relationship to other cities along the Altamont Corridor; specifically,Tracy and Manteca in San Joaquin County, and Pleasanton and Livermore in Alameda County.The CDP does not yet encompass the entire MHMP area; however, residential development outside of the CDP is very small to date.There is no new non-residential development south of Grant Line Road. Development of Mountain House.began in 2002.Today, residential land uses are a little over one-third developed; however, only a small amount of commercial building has been completed compared to buildout described in the MHMP.All the residential development to date has been single family(detached homes, homes with second units, and condominiums).
