City of Lathrop The Community Development Department sent a referral to the City of Lathrop on March 28,2008.The City responded in a memo dated April 8,2008.The memo stated that the City of Lathrop would not provide water or sewer to this project. It recommended an OR, including a traffic study.The memo also recommended that Caltrans comment on the project(which they did in a memo dated January 10, 2010). The traffic study and the noise study were completed and the project was re-referred on December 11, 2009.The initial study was sent to the State Clearinghouse on December 22,2009. The City of Lathrop sent a new memo dated December 22,2009 that requested a copy of the initial study and an extra 15 days for review.After reviewing the initial study,the City of Lathrop sent a third memo dated February 1, 2010.The memo contained seven comments that pertain to recommended changes to the Initial study and express the concems listed below regarding police and fire services,traffic issues, and land use issues. 1. Under Utilities and Public Services, Items 8.a. and 8.b.should be checked"yes"and the staff analysis revised to reflect that the project should be connected to and utilize public utility services for sewer and water provided by the City of Lathrop. Projects that are contained on a single parcel do not require public services.A single parcel in the C-FS zone over two acres in size may be developed with a private septic system (Development Title Section 9-1105.3[b]y,an individual well(Development Title Section 9- 1120.3[c],and on site storm drainage (Development Title Section 9-1135.3[b]). The applicants will likely connect to public sewer,water,and terminal drainage from the City of Lathrop when it is available. The City of Lathrop has chosen not to annex this area at this time. 2. The summary discussion does not summarize any relevant findings,impacts and mitigations included in and contained in the lQmley-Hom traffic impact analysis.A more detailed and accurate traffic summary should be provided the IS. The Initial Study references the Kimley-Flom traffic impact analysis and was made available to the City of Lathrop.The recommendations of the traffic study are contained in the conditions of approval. 3. As documented in the traffic study,the existing LOS conditions and existing plus project LOS conditions show that the Roth Road and the 1-5 ramps are Impacted and yet,the project will only be required to pay fair share of the cost of certain improvements and not correct or improve the impacts.Without physical roadway improvements being performed at this time,the Roth Road and I-5 ramps will remain at unacceptable and impacted LOS conditions and thus the impacts are not being mitigated.
