- <br /> N6 ember 18, 1992 199 <br /> PLANNING DIVISION <br /> Ms. Loree Goold <br /> San Joaquin County Planning Division <br /> 1810 East Hazelton , <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Dear Ms. Goold, <br /> We write in response to your referral mailed October 30, 1992, and concerning a <br /> proposal to develop a major subdivicsion in the Morada neighborhood. <br /> .First, this letter is not meant as a waiver of our objection to the property involved <br /> being re-zoned from its previous agricultural zoning to its newly acquired rural residential <br /> classification or the process by which that was accomplished. As you know, the developer <br /> had previously attempted to re-zone by way of a noticed request for rezoning and, at least <br /> in part because of near unanimous public opposition, that had been denied. Now it <br /> appears that the rezoning has been, to this point at least, accomplished by use of a <br /> proceedure that denied notice to and ignored the stated wishes of the same affected <br /> community that so vigorously opposes this development in their neighborhood. <br /> We realize that, in accord with long-standing precedent and sound planning } <br /> principles, the planning department recommended against the rezoning at all stages and <br /> that the planning commission determined that the property should remain in its previous <br /> agricultural classification. However, we also realize that you are stuck at this point with <br /> the rezoning undertaken by the county Board of Supervisors on its 3 to 2 vote. <br /> So, this letter is state our opposition to the attempted development at the stage <br /> you presently must deal with. This is based on many specificgrounds but it ultimately is <br /> based on the cumulative effect of those items, present and future. In short and in sum, this <br /> proposed development will have a substantial detrimental effect on the quality of life and <br /> the environment in our neighborhood. These impacts adversly affect nearly every aspect <br /> of life in the Morada area and, taken together, are unacceptable. <br /> First, it introduces a density of housing that has been not allowed in this area for <br /> many years. Allowing for roads, services, etc. it appears that the subdivision contemplates <br /> a useable lot size of approximately three-quarters to one acre. As you know, this density <br />
