SAN JOAQUIN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION <br /> r1i P-4 MEETING TODAY'S CHALLENGES/PLANNING FOR TOMORROW <br /> I <br /> August 30,2018 <br /> Mr. Guiseppe Sanfilippo _ <br /> San Joaquin County Community Development Department <br /> Development Services Division <br /> 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> RE: PA-1800150 (ZR)Pre-app <br /> Dear Mr. Sanfilippo: <br /> The San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation is a private, non-profit volunteer organization that has <br /> been committed to protecting the agricultural resources in San Joaquin County for over 100 <br /> years. The preservation of an ever diminishing amount of agricultural land remains one of our <br /> highest priorities. <br /> In regard to this application,the land is zoned AG-40 and C-FS. Because this application will <br /> reclassify the zoning from agriculture to industrial, it is subject to the San Joaquin County <br /> Agricultural Mitigation Ordinance. <br /> Section 9-1080.3(a)(2)provides that the county shall require agricultural mitigation for: <br /> "A Zoning Reclassification that changes the permitted uses from agriculture to a <br /> nonagricultural use, regardless of the General Plan designation" <br /> This section is directly applicable to this project because it is a zoning reclassification for a zone <br /> in which the permitted uses are agriculture to an industrial zone. Furthermore,this section speaks <br /> to the fact that mitigation is still required even though the zone is being reclassified to implement <br /> the current General Plan designation of General Industrial. <br /> We ask that the applicant fin-nish the requisite agricultural mitigation under section 9-1080. <br /> Please keep us informed as this project moves forward. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> � 01A, L <br /> Jim Ferrari <br /> President <br /> 3290 NORTH AD ART ROAD-STOCKTON,CA-95215-(209)931-4931•(209)931-1433 Fax <br /> WWW.SJFB.ORG <br />
