• LU-9.1 Adequate Community Supporting Uses: The County shall encourage the development of a broad range of public and private community-supportive facilities and services within Urban Communities to provide places that serve the varied needs of the community, provide for community meeting places, and provide community and neighborhood landmark buildings and places. • LU-9.2 Buffers: The County shall ensure that residential and other non-compatible uses are separated and buffered from major public facilities, such as landfills, airports, and wastewater treatment facilities using location appropriate measures(e.g., distance, screens, berms). The Veterans Supportive Housing use type is intended to provide housing for Veterans and their families. Since San Joaquin County has a number of homeless Veterans, this would be a community-supportive use. Based on the proposed locational critieria, it would also advantageously cite such a facility near other services, including the County hospital, but away from other non-compatible uses, such as existing landfills, airports, and wastewater treatment facilities within San Joaquin County. Cultural Resources On March 29, 2019, the Community Development Department received notification from Katherine Perez of the Northern Valley Yokuts tribe that the project site may contain sensitive cultural resources.The letter requested a site record search be conducted through the Central California Information Center, as well as through the Native American Heritage Commission,and that a site visit be conducted.The letter constituted a request for a Tribal Consultation pursuant to A1352,which requires that public agencies consult with tribes about proposed projects to avoid potential significant impacts on cultural tribal resources. On June 5, 2019, a site visit was conducted with Katherine Perez and another member of the Northern Valley Yokuts tribe, as well as two (2) consultants for the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County, and County staff. During the site visit potential mitigation measures were discussed, and follow up emails resulted in mitigation language. As a result of the visit and tribal consultation, the environmental documentation was revised to include updated language for the Tribal Cultural Resources section. Special use regulations(c)(9)and(c)(10),which address encountering potential resources,were also added to the proposed Text Amendment language to ensure that existing State regulations are complied with during the process for construction of the underlying project. San Joaquin County of Governments San Joaquin Council of Governments has determined that the underlying project is subject to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts and ensures that the potential impacts to habitat land and species are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with CEQA. If the Development Title Text Amendment is approved, the underlying project will require issuance of a building permit and an approved Improvement Plan. The SJMSCP is a fee based plan that requires participation/payment prior to issuance of a building permit. The applicant has stated that the project will participate in the SJMSCP to comply with CEQA. As a result, this fee will be collected prior to issuance of any building permit. City of Stockton On August 13,2019,the City of Stockton Department of Public Works submitted a letter with comments on the proposed Text Amendment.The letter noted that the underlying project mainly serves as housing, so special use regulation(c)(4),which requires that Veterans Supportive Housing projects be located on a parcel fronting San Joaquin County PA-1800327/SJC Housing Authority Community Development Page 7
