t . Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-3 Forward Inc. Landfill 2018 Expansion Project • Proposed Projects The 2013 EIR identified one proposed development project in the vicinity of the project site: • • Opus Logistics Center, located northwest of the intersection of Arch and Austin Roads, • consisting of subdivision and development of 475 acres within the City of Stockton for industrial uses (Phase I), and prezoning and annexation to the City of Stockton of an adjacent 148 acres (currently within San Joaquin County) for industrial use (Phase II) (Funderburg, 2009;ESA, 2008). After the 2013 EIR was prepared, the Opus Logistics Center was renamed "NorCal Logistics • Center", and Phase II of the project(annexation to the City of Stockton of an adjacent 148 acres) • was withdrawn from consideration. In 2015, the City of Stockton approved subdivision of approximately 325 acres of the 475-acre Phase I project area within the City of Stockton, with no change to the size or change the industrial development already allowed on the property. Thus, the currently proposed project (Phase I only) is smaller than the project identified in the 2013 • EIR (Phases I and II), and does not include new or different uses that were not described in the • 2013 EIR. At the time this SEIR was prepared, construction was underway for a portion of the project'. County of San Joaquin 2035 General Plan The General Plan was in the process of being updated at the time the 2013 EIR was prepared. The new San Joaquin 2035 County General Plan was adopted in December 2016 (San Joaquin County,2016)and now serves as the planning document governing the project. The land use • designations and policies discussed below replace those of the San Joaquin County General • Plan 2010 that was in force when the 2013 EIR was prepared. 2035 General Plan Designations • The land use designation map of the San Joaquin County General Plan (adopted December i 2016) designates the northern portion of the existing Forward Landfill (north of the original alignment of the North Fork of South Littlejohns Creek) as A/UR (Agriculture --Urban Reserve), and the southern portion of the existing Landfill as A/G (Agricultural, General) (see Figure IV.A-1). (The North Fork of South Littlejohns Creek, currently passing along the . northern and western edge of the existing Forward Landfill disposal area, was realigned in the early 2000s.) The corridors of both the North and South Forks of South Littlejohn Creek are designated OS/RC (Resource Conservation). The Agriculture--Urban Reserve land use designation "provides a reserve for urban development, but is not necessary to accommodate development projected during the planning period of the General Plan (i.e., 2035)." Allowed • uses include "Compatible public, quasi-public, and special uses (e.g., parks)". The General Agriculture land use designation"provides for large-scale agricultural production • ' Michael McDowell,Planning Manager, Planning&Engineering Division,Community Development Department, City of Stockton, email to Pang Ho of PHA Transportation Consultants, April 9, 2018.
