f i Analysis PoIiV Considerations Development Title Section 9-806.4 states that"Prior to approving an application for a Specific Plan Amendment, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall determine that the Specific Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, and Public Financing Plan." On August 20, 1992, the Planning Commission approved the Negative Declaration and forwarded arded the Eight Mile Road Specific Plan to the Board of Supervisors with a recommendation of approval. On October 26, 1993, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Eight Mile Road Specific Plan by Ordinance No. 3755. Section 4 of the Ordinance discusses the intent and states that"In the construction; maintenance, and development of Eight Mile Road, within the limits of the Pian, it is the intent of the Plan to develop the roadway as an expressway with access as shown on the Specific Road Plan." The Stockton City Council also adopted the Plan. Eight minor Access Points (right-in, right-out)were established, and the subject site was not one of them. Additionally, approval of the request may set a precedence for other owners to request access, which would result in numerous access points on Eight Mile Road similar to Hammer Lane and March Lane. The County of San Joaquin and the City of Stockton have developed this access plan for Eight Mile Road. The major goal of this access plan is to develop a roadway that would allow for the safe and efficient linkage of Interstate 5 and State Route 99. The proposed change would result in the creation of an additional access point, which may erode the efficiency and safety of Eight Mile Road as an expressway.
