This project will be phased over eight years.There is no approved schedule for the improvements to Roth Road and 1-5.The applicant will pay$1,148,522.00 in mitigation fees.The traffic study found that the size of the project does not warrant improvements at this time.When the City of Lathrop,Caltrans,or the County improves the intersections,the funds will be available. 4. We have a general concern and disagreement with the recommended traffic impact mitigation to use 4-way stop controlled intersections and believe that signalized intersections are warranted and necessary to properly address the LOS conditions. The City of La6rop did not submit any data to support their general concern and disagreement. The traffic study determined that stop-controlled intersections were adequate. 5, We have a general concem that the payment of traffic fees are not specified to go directly to the local jurisdiction,In this case the City of Lathrop, as we are the agency that is directly responsible for the local road network improvements(.e:Roth Road). The Department of Public Works monitors the funding for individual intersections.The funds will be allocated to whichever jurisdiction improves the intersection(s). 6. The proposed approach to mitigating traffic impacts does not appear to be consistent with State law and mitigation practices. If the project is unable to fully mitigate the LOS Conditions by constructing the necessary roadway improvements at-this time,then the project would appear to trigger the need for an Environmental impact Report and make Findings of Overriding Consideration. The traffic study determined that stop-controlled intersections and fair-share payments are the appropriate mitigations. w 7. The summary discussion does not mention or address the fad that this site is located in the City of Lathrop Sphere of Influence(SOI), It is the City of Lathrop's desire and request to San Joaquin County that all lands located within the City of Lathrop SOI be annexed into the City of Lathrop, be developed under our jurisdiction and be developed to the City of Lathrop standards and regulations_ We are concerned that a San Joaquin County approval of this and/or other development applications located in our SOI will make it more difficult in the long run for such properties to annex into and be serviced by the City of Lathrop. We are concerned that the City of Lathrop development standards and infrastructure and utility services improvement are not being addressed,and in the long run this will diminish the City of Lathrop's ability to provide services to such properties. The City of Lathrop was sent a referral on March 28,2008 and again on December 11, 2009 because the project area lies within the City's sphere of influence.The applicants have requested to be annexed to the City and to public services.However,the City of Lathrop has not given a timeline for annexation and has denied connection to public services.Although this project is in the Lathrop sphere of Influence,County requirements apply.All potentially significant impacts have been reduced to less than significant,and all required findings for approval of the proposed Use Permit application can be made.
