The list of land uses permitted or conditionally permitted in the P-X zoning class is somewhat more limited than for the AP-X class. This is to be expected, as the P-X zone is used Countywide for various public facilities and supporting uses, and the AP-X zone is specific to the property that was part of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport as of August 1, 1995 (Mixed Use Development Policy No. 1(b)(3)(A),Volume I, General Plan 2010). The proposed Text Amendment would add the following additional paragraph to Section 9-705.8, "Special Use Regulations in the Public Facilities Zone": (b) Stockton Metropolitan Airport. In addition to the uses permitted in Table 9-705.2 for the P-F zone, additional uses may be permitted at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport subject to approval of a Special Purpose Plan and if the Community Development Department Director finds that the use is an Aviation Related Use consistentwith FAA Grant Assurances,as amended from time to time. This will enable additional aviation related uses, not currently permitted in the P-F zone, to be developed in the P-F zone of the Airport, provided that the uses are aviation related and consistent with the Special Purpose Plan. The purpose of this Text Amendment is to assist in facilitating development of the Airport consistent with the General Plan, the adopted Airport Master Layout Plan, and the proposed Special Purpose Plan. Special Purpose Pian Implementation Measure 1.2.(b), contained in the Mixed Use Development Section of Volume I of the General Plan 2010, requires that a Special Purpose Plan be adopted to facilitate development of the Airport East property. This measure requires that the Special Purpose Plan address land use and circulation, on- and off-site infrastructure, financing, and responsibilities for property development, operation, and maintenance. The intent of the Airport Multi-Use (AP/X) General Pian designation is to provide for flexible siting of commercial, industrial, and recreational uses along with aviation facilities at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, The Special Purpose Plan implements the policies and objectives contained in the General Plan regarding the A/PX land use designation. Although the General Plan only requires that the Special Purpose Plan be prepared for the Airport East property, the Special Purpose Plan (Plan) has been prepared for and is intended to apply to the entire project site, excluding the area that contains the airport terminal, runways and taxiways,and support facilities. The objective of the Plan is to ensure that mixed-use development and airport operations function together as an integrated campus with a well defined identity and a strong sense of place. The Plan establishes the standards necessary to ensure high quality development while providing the flexibility necessary to respond to development opportunities. It is anticipated that the character of the Airport development will evolve through the planning and design of street patterns, land uses, open space systems, and architectural and landscape elements. The Special Purpose Plan is composed of the following four interrelated documents: 1. Design Guidelines and Development Standards The Design Guidelines and Development Standards were prepared by Ken Kay Associates under contract to the County. This is a major component of the Special Purpose Plan, as these guidelines and standards will serve as the planning and design principles related to land uses, site planning, open space and landscape design, and architectural character.
