INITIAL STUDY (CONT'D) ZR-90-13 NOTE: This application for Zone Reclassification is being processed by the County of San Joaquin to bring the subject parcel's zoning designation into conformance with its R/L (Low Density Residential) designation under the General Plan 2010. The site's current zoning, AU-20 (Agriculture-Urban Reserve; 20-acre minimum parcel size) , reflects the fact that the required will- serve letter for public water and sewage disposal services had not yet been received at the time the General Plan 2010 maps were prepared for eventual approval by the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors. The will-serve letter was received prior to the adoption of the General Plan 2010, but the map was not amended to reflect the availability of services. The underlying project for this application, a Major Subdivision known as the River Oaks Subdivision (SU-90--15) , has been analyzed for its potential environmental impacts by Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. ER-90-3 . That EIR, which also analyzed the impacts associated with the accompanying General Plan Map Amendment application (GP-90-5) and Zone Reclassification application (ZR-90- 5) , concluded that the project would result in significant, unavoidable adverse -impacts in the following areas: 1) the conversion and subsequent loss of of 124.73 acres of agricultural grazing land to urban uses, 2) the loss of oak trees and oak woodland habitat, and 3) exceeding threshhold limits for carbon monoxide, ozone, and PM-10 and would contribute to County-wide and regional air quality problems. In approving the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification applications, the Board of Supervisors certified the Final EIR and adopted both "Findings of Significant Environmental Impact" and "Statements of Overriding Considerations."
