Item No. 2 PC: 4-9-92 GP-89-11 Page 10 Some of the mitigations identified in the EIR to reduce these impacts include: • Transportation System Management programs and ordinances. The County and the developer should adopt programs that will reduce peak-hour work trips through site-specific ridesharing, transit programs, staggered or flexible work-hour programs, and other TDM strategies (implemented at the Subsequent Plan stage). • Project Study Reports (PSR's) and regional freeway improvements. The proponent will be required to fund and coordinate the preparation of a series of Project Study Reports for Caltrans that will identify the specific improvements needed for the 1-580 freeway over the Altamont Pass and the 1-205 freeway, as well as the 1-205/Patterson Pass and 1-580/Grant Line Road interchanges and any other impacted interchanges. The proponent will be required to fund a fair- share contribution to construct these facilities prior to when the impacts are expected to occur (SP stage). • Improvements on local roads. The proponent will be required to contribute full funding or a proportionate share toward the cost of improvements on local roads that are impacted by the Mountain House project. The DEIR also recommends that the County consider developing a program of traffic impact fees in order to provide cities with funding for improvements to accommodate traffic from new town developments (SP stage). These are very generalized highlights of the recommended mitigation measures from the transportation section of the FEIR. Specific measures are detailed in Attachment A. SERVICES AND FACILITIES EXISTING SYSTEMS: Currently, there are few services available to the site. Agricultural water is supplied by Byron Bethany Irrigation District (BBID), Westside Irrigation District, riparian rights, and several on-site wells. Sewage disposal is by septic tank. Storm drainage is via Mountain House Creek and Dry Creek into Old River, as well as a 2000-foot band near Old River which is subject to flooding during a 100-year flood event. Existing public services include school service provided by Lammersville Elementary School District and the Tracy Joint Union High School District. Police protection is provided by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department, which operates its patrol division out of French Camp. The site is located within the Tracy Rural County Fire Protection District,which currently operates four fire fighting stations, with Station 3 as the primary response station. Library service is provided by the Tracy branch of the Stockton-San Joaquin County library system. PROPOSED PUBLIC FACILITIES: Community Services District: Each of the public utilities and some of the public services discussed below would be financed by a Community Services District (CSD). The CSD would be formed to finance certain services for which the County would typically be responsible but which would require a higher than normal standard of delivery, given the urban character of Mountain House.
