Farm Bureau The Community Development Department sent a referral to the Farm Bureau on January 21, 2011. The Farm Bureau responded in a memo dated March 31, 2011. The memo states, "The San Joaquin Farm Bureau opposes this application for a Regional Religious Assembly in the Agricultural Zone. We are concerned with the placement and magnitude of these types of multi-use pubic facilities in areas near and or adjacent to active agricultural production." The memo also states, "We believe such public facilities do not aid in the production or processing of agricultural goods and services and that alternative land use zones exist for such establishments that do not place a burden on agricultural production." This project falls under the Religious Assembly-Neighborhood Use Type. This Use Type may be conditionally permitted in the AG-40 zone with an approved Use Permit. This project will meet all ordinance requirements and conditions of approval.

The Sheriff's Department asked that the following conditions regarding the new year celebration in April be added to the permit 1) Amplified soundsimusic small not exceed 65dB in accordance with the county ordinance No amplified music between the hours of 10:00 p.rn, and 9-00 a.m. 2) Multiple clay outdoor events must not exceed four continuous days in duration. 3) All parking must be contained within the property boundaries and shall not utilize the shoulder of the public roadway for overflow parking 4) San Joaquin Sheriffs office shall be notified of any events with an expected attendance of 500 or more, 30 days in advance of the event. A security plan must accompany said notifications. These conditions are the same conditions that the Sheriff's Department places on the Special Events that are held at this location. Since a Special Event permit would not be required for these events once the Use Permit is approved, the Community Development Department has determined that these conditions are reasonable and would ensure that this project is compatible with existing surrounding uses_ Council of Governments San Joaquin County is a signatory to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP).
