i -2- on February 12, 2002, the County Board of Supervisors approved Development Title Text Amendment No.TA-01-7,which modified portions of Chapter 9-700 relative to the AP-X zone. This Text Amendment clarified the list of use types permitted in the' AP-X zone and what type of permit would be required. r The approximately 200-acre area known as Air Metro Park contains many existing structures and land uses and as a result presents different issues than the Community Development Department anticipates when implementing the Special Purpose Plan for new construction on the 550-acre "greenfield"Airport East site. While processing Improvement Plans for changes in uses in existing structures at Air Metro Park, and processing Improvement Plans for new structures at Air Metro Paris;it became apparent that some type of supplement or addendum to the adopted Special . Purpose Plan was necessary for projects within Air Metro Park. The intent of the Air Metro Park Addendum is to provide further clarity and direction for new development and changes in land use from less intensive to more intensive within the Air Metro Park! The guidelines and standards contained in the Air Metro Park Addendum have been tailored 1specifically for the needs of this area while conforming to the goals and objectives of the overall existing Special Purpose Plan. i� The Air Metro Park Addendum will apply only to the Air Metro Park development area and not to the other development areas at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: h� E The specific objectives of the Air Metro Park Addendum are as follows: • Project a more positive image for Stockton Metropolitan Airport and the Air Metro business park area; _. a a more attractive choice to those wishing to locate job-generating i • Make the Air Metro Park area businesses; i • Enhance Development Standards to contribute to an it visual improvement in the area; and # • Coordinate public and private improvements to the area's streetscapes, entries, edges, and site frontages. The Development Standards and Design Guidelines contained in the Addendum can be seen as a "kit of parts" that will add up over time to produce positive [incremental changes. The enhanced' standards and guidelines will also contribute to a .more cohesive Air Metro Parte business community, as well as an enhanced image and value for the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. k The Air Metro Park Addendum does not propose to change the application approval process contained in the existing Special Purpose Plan. The existing Special Purpose Plan identified the following for functional development areas within the Stockton Metropolitan Airport: Airport East, Airport West, Airport South, and Air Metro Park. This Addendum will apply only to the Air Metro Park area, which is defined by Airport Way to the west,the California Army National Guard facility to the south, the Airport terminal area to the north, and the aircraft taxiway/runway area to the east. u „ Air Metro Park is divided into two sub-areas by an Airport maintained fence separating the Aircraft Operation Area (AOA), referred to as"inside the fence,"from a general development area, referred to as"outside the fence."
