Community Development 1810 East Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 A USE PERMIT APPLICATION FOR A TRUCK TERMINAL PARKING FACILITY WITH 349 TRUCK PARKING STALLS TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN TWO PHASES. PHASE ONE TO CONTAIN THE TRUCK TERMINAL WHICH INCLUDES A 3,528 SQ. FT. OPERATIONS BUILDING, 864 SQ. FT. OFFICE, 221 PARKING STALLS AND 11 EMPLOYEENISITOR PARKING SPACES. PHASE TWO TO CONTAIN AN ADDITIONAL 128 PARKING STALLS 10967 N. STATE ROUTE 99 WEST FRONTAGE ROAD (APN 059-140-37) PA-0400498 (UP) The City of Stockton Community Development and Public Works Departments have reviewed the subject application and offers the following comments: 1 . Although the project site is located outside of our General Plan area, the City is opposed to the proposed industrial project because of its proximity to Commercial and Low/Medium-Density Residential General Plan areas within the City on the south side of Eight Mile Road. The proposed use is incompatible with both existing General Plan designations and approved land uses within the City and has the potential to result in significant, adverse traffic and other land use impacts. With respect to land use impacts, City staff attempted to secure a copy of the project's proposed Negative Declaration and were advised by County staff that the document had not yet been prepared. We were promised a copy of that document, but, to date, it has not been provided. In the absence of the CEQA-required environmental review documents, it does not appear appropriate at this time to proceed with the project. The City, therefore, recommends that no action be taken until such time that acceptable environmental review documents, which include detailed traffic and land use impact analysis, have been prepared and properly circulated for comment. In the absence of those documents, the City recommends that the proposed project be denied. 2. The subject site lies within the proposed Eight Mile Road/State Route 99 Interchange improvement area. There are conceptual interchange improvement designs currently under consideration, and it is very likely that there will be additional right-of-way requirements within the area of the proposed truck terminal to accommodate said improvements. As such, any development in this area may be premature, and it is strongly recommended that 1) future right-of-way requirements are considered prior to approval of this application, and 2) this declaration be included on any condition(s) of approval for the subject site.
