Analysis Location of Squab In order to ensure that the birds are maintained a safe distance from adjacent parcels, all structures containing animals must be a minimum distance of 100 feet from the nearest property line. (Development Title Table 9-1045.3)The submitted site plan shows the proposed squab raising building with a rear yard setback at a minimum of 150 feet and the nearest side yard setback at 100 feet. Therefore, the proposed project meets this requirement. Waste Manaclement The Environmental Health Department is recommending, as a condition of approval, that the applicants submit a Manure/Solid Waste Management Plan with vector control measures. The Manure/Solid Waste Management Plan "ensures that wastes from these operations are handled in a manner that provides pubic health protection, protects local and surface ground water quality and minimizes the harborage and breeding of vectors such as rodents and insects.' Furthermore, all related liquid and solid waste produced by the project is required to remain on-site. The applicants are proposing to spread and incorporate any accumulated manure on the parcel. Council of Governments San Joaquin County is a signatory 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 any impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, if applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. This project is subject to the SJMSCP and is located within an unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. The applicants have indicated that they will participate in the San Joaquin Council of Governments Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) to reduce any impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a level of less-than-significant Williamson Act This parcel is subject to Williamson Act contract No. 78-C1-67. The contract restricts development to uses that are compatible with the Williamson Act and Development Title Section 9-1805. "Compatible use" as defined in the Wilfiamson Act includes uses determined by the County to be compatible with the agricultural, recreational, or open-space use of land within the preserve and subject to contract. (Government Code Section 51201[e]) On July 20. 1992 the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 3675 finding that Animal Raising is compatible with the Williamson Act. The project is a compatible agricultural use of the land and is a compatible use with the Williamson Act. Neighborhood Opposition The Community Development Department has received four letters of opposition. The letters expressed the following concerns: Noise generated by the birds and odor from bird waste. San Joaquin County PA-0800145/Pickens Community Development Page 3
