Aesthetics This project will not change the appearance of the neighborhood. It will not obstruct any public scenic vista or view, create an aesthetically offensive site open to public view, or produce light or glare. Therefore, the aesthetic impact to the neighborhood will be less than significant. Air Quality The Initial Study found the change in air quality to be less than significant. The project was referred to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The District also found that this project will have less than significant impact on the ambient air quality. There will be no conditions related to air quality assigned to this project. Building and Fire Code Violations Building and fire code violations are enforced through the permitting process and through customer service complaints. There have been no code violations reported to the Enforcement Division. Any violations discovered as part of this application will be enforced. Bonfires Bonfires are not part of this permit. An open air bum permit from the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District is required for any recreational burning. Future Expansion Pursuant to Section 9-821.5, a use may be expanded by 25%of its building square footage or 10%of the total project size without obtaining a new Use Permit. Any significant expansion of the religious assembly use would require a new land use permit. Other Uses A ninth letter was received that notifies the Community Development Department of the close proximity of their farming operations. The letter indicates that"the normal scope of farming practices includes spraying by ground and helicopter. It is possible that some spraying will be done on weekends. In addition, dust is an inevitable part of farming and this may be an issue for a neighborhood church." San Joaquin County has a right-to-farm ordinance. Section 6-9000 of the Ordinance Code of San Joaquin County declares that no agricultural activity, operation, or facility, or appurtenances thereof, conducted or maintained for commercial purposes, and in a manner consistent with proper and accepted customs and standards as established and followed by similar agricultural operations in the same locality, shall be or become a nuisance, private or public, due to any changed condition in or about the locality, after the same has been in operation for more than three years if it was not a nuisance at the time it began. The Board of Supervisors approved a revised right-to-farm ordinance that will take effect July 21, 2004. San Joaquin County PA-0400206\Flamenco Community Development Page 4
