The Sphere of Influence for the City of Lathrop ends at the east side of 1-5 and the property is not located within any urban community. In a letter dated April 16, 1997, the City of Lathrop stated that..."over 70 percent of the property in the existing City limits is designated and zoned for industrial uses, a total of 2,900 acres." It would appear that the City of Lathrop has adequate areas for industrial development and the proposed designation of 34 additional acres as industrial would be inconsistent with the General Plan policies. Infrastructure Services (Volume 1 pp IV-66-70) The Infrastructure Services Policies contain the following criteria for development: Water Supply For industrial areas outside of communities, a public water system serving the entire planned area is required. Private systems may be permitted if only one parcel is involved. There are four parcels contiguous to the subject parcel designated as industrial, therefore a public system would be required to serve the entire area planned as industrial. This does not meet the criteria of the General Plan for water supply outside communities because no public services are currently available in the area. (General Plan, Volume 1 page IV-66). Stormwater Drainage For industrial areas outside of communities, a public drainage system serving the entire planned area is required. Private systems may be permitted if only one parcel is involved. There are four parcels contiguous to the subject parcel designated as industrial, therefore a public system would be required to serve the entire area planned as industrial. This does not meet the criteria of the General Plan for stormwater drainage outside communities because no public services are currently available in the area. (General Plan, Volume 1 page IV-70). Basis for General Plan Amendment (Development Title Section 9-803.4 page 428) The following basis for General Plan Amendment must be made in order to recommend approval of the project: 1. The internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the Amendment. This determination cannot be made because the General Plan Map Amendment is inconsistent with the policies of the General Plan. Specifically, it is inconsistent with infrastructure services relating to water supply and stormwater drainage and requirements regarding growth accommodation policies. Zone Reclassification of 34.74 acres from AG-40 to I-W Bases for Zone Reclassification (Development Title Section 9-812.4 page 432) The following Bases for Zone Reclassification must be made in order to recommend approval of the project:
