Recommendations Action It is recommended that the Planning Commission: 1. Approve the Negative Declaration; and 2. Approve Site Approval application No. PA-1600128 with the Findings and Conditions of Approval contained in the Staff Report. Findings 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the County. • This finding can be made because the proposed uses (Agricultural Truck Parking and Farm Services) may be conditionally permitted in the AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40 acre minimum) zone with an approved Site Approval application. The AG-40 zone implements the General Plan's A/G (General Agriculture) designation. The subject parcel has the AIG General Plan designation and is zoned AG-40. Therefore, both uses are consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan. There are no Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity. 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways. • This finding can be made because adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and other necessary facilities will be provided. The projects do not require sanitation or water supply facilities as the proposed uses do not utilize anv structures. The approximately 10-acre parcel provides natural, onsite drainage. To insure that the proposed improvements are properly related to the roadway, the Department of Public Works is requiring that the applicant improve the driveway approach in accordance with the requirements of San Joaquin County Improvement Standards Drawing No. 17 including return radii to accommodate truck-trailer movements for trucks exiting the site so as not to encroach on opposing lanes of traffic. Additionally, the Community Development Department is requiring a minimum of 100-feet of permanent surfacing on the driveway from the edge of the existing right of way of N. Locust Tree Road to provide dust mitigation and to prevent dirt and debris from spilling onto the roadway. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. • This finding can be made because the parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the proposed uses and the requirements of the Development Title. The Site Plan shows there is sufficient area for parking and circulation in compliance with Standards of the Development Title. The applicant has requested a modification to the required dimensions for truck parking spaces from a 15-foot width to a 9-foot width to better accommodate the storage configuration needed for the trailers. The site is of adequate size to allow for 15-foot wide spaces; however, the 9-foot wide spaces are more suitable to the actual use. San Joaquin County PA-1600128/Mettler Community Development Page 6
