Analysis Zone Reclassification In order to approve a Zone Reclassification, the Board of Supervisors must determine that the proposed zone is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan; and that the zone is reasonable and beneficial at the time. The parcel of the Zone Reclassification application has a General Plan designation of CIG (General Commercial). The current zoning of the parcel is Alf-20 (Agriculture Urban Reserve with a 20-acre minimum). The applicant is proposing to reclassify the zoning designation to C-G (General Commercial). The C-G zone is an implementing zone for the CIG General Plan designation (General Plan Volume 1, Table VII-2). Growth Plan Poticies The proposed project is within the urban community of Lockeford. General Plan Volume I states that the objectives for growth accommodation is to ensure that there is an adequate amount of land planned for urban development to accommodate the projected population growth in areas where the appropriate level of services are and can be made available and to make efficient use of land and promote a functional development pattern with varied and compatible land uses. (Objectives 1 and 2. Vol. €, pg. IV-4) Urban communities shall be planned to accommodate most of the County's projected growth, planned with a variety of land uses and be planned to receive urban services, including community wastewater treatment, water, and storm drainage. Development should occur on vacant lots within existing communities as "infill" before extending beyond the current developed areas of a community. (Policies, Location and Character of Development, Nos. 1 and 6, pg. IV-5) Urban zones shall be applied to areas planned for urban development only when those areas are needed for development and when services are or can be made available, except for infill areas which may be zoned with urban zones prior to the availability of public services. Until that time, the areas shall be zoned Agriculture-Urban Reserve. (Implementation, No. 4 (b), pg. IV-11) In reviewing an application for a zone reclassification of land to an urban use, the following criteria should be considered: additional land is needed for urban development and adequate services can be made available for the development permitted in the zone. (Implementation. No 14 (b), pg. IV-14) The parcel has a General Plan designation of CIG (General Commercial). The proposed zoning designation of C-G (General Commercial) is an implementing zone of CIG. The parcel would be considered infill to the urban community of Lockeford as the surrounding parcels west of State Route 88 are developed and zoned either commercial or industrial. The proposed zone is compatible with the surrounding zones as the parcel to the north is zoned commercial and the parcels to the west and south are zoned industrial. Adequate services are available. The applicant has submitted a will-serve letter from Lockeford CSD for public water and public sewer. The storm drainage requirement will be met with a proposed Master Drainage/Special Purpose Plan for the Lockeford area through the Lockeford Storm Drainage Trust Fund Fee. Until that time, the applicant will provide an on-site retention basin. Infrastructure Requirements The parcel of the proposed project is located within the urban community of Lockeford. General Plan Volume 1, pg. IV-5, states that urban communities shall be planned to accommodate most of the County's San Joaquin County PA-08001651Diede Construction Community Development Page 3
