AND, REZONE APPLICATION TO REZONE 37.3 <br /> ACRES FROM CROSSROADS COMMERCIAL TO RURAL SERVICE <br /> COMMERCIAL, AND TO REZONE 24 ACRES FROM GENREAL <br /> AGRICULTURE TO RURAL SERVICE COMMERCIAL. <br /> Dear Ms Jolley: <br /> The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the <br /> proposed reorganization and offers the following comments: <br /> The entire San Joaquin Valley is a nonattainment area for ozone and fine particulate <br /> matter (PM-10). Based on the information provided, the General Plan application and <br /> rezoning of the above mentioned project would allow for future development in the <br /> project area. Thus, the buildout of the project area with industrial uses would contribute <br /> to the overall decline of air quality due to increased vehicle traffic, the operation of <br /> landscape maintenance equipment, and other ancillary and point sources. Although a <br /> project of this magnitude could result in a significant impact on the ambient air quality, <br /> the District is unable to estimate what those air quality impact are since no specific <br /> project is planned for the area. <br /> However, in an effort to aid San Joaquin County staff determine a potential impact of <br /> project the District has established a Thresholds of Significance of 10 tons per year for <br /> David L Crow <br /> Executive Doectol/Au Pollution control Utticer <br /> Northern Region Office Central Region Offrre Soulhero Region Office <br /> 4730 Kiernan A",.,,, Suite lin 199n Eat rrlfyshurg Avenue 2700 M Stree(, Suite 175 <br /> Mnde<fa, CA 953S6-9322 Freann, CA 91726-0244 Bakervfield, CA 93:t01-2373 <br /> G09) 557.6400 • IAX (:09) 557.6475 4559) 230.61100 • FAX 1559) 230dd1A1 1661) 124-6'161 FAX 1661) 126-6911,S <br /> ww w.valleyair.mx <br />
