Analysis Background On July 27, 1993, the Board of Supervisors directed the Community Development Department to process a General Plan Amendment to change the designation of five (5) parcels totaling twenty (20) acres from A/G (General Agriculture) to I/L (Limited Industrial) to recognize existing industrial uses. A Zone Reclassification application was processed concurrently with the General Plan Amendment so that the zoning would be consistent with the General Plan. On December 14, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved General Plan Amendment No. GP-93-7 and conditionally approved Zone Reclassification No. ZR-93-6. The Zone Reclassification application changed the zoning of three parcels west of State Route 99 from M-1/L (Limited Manufacturing, L Combining zone) to I-L (Limited Industrial/S.10). Two other parcels on the east side of State Route 99 zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) and C-M/L (Commercial-Manufacturing, L Combining zone) were also reclassified to I-L (S.10). The conditional zoning (I-L/S.10) stated that new development projects would require public services and that any new or expanded uses would require documentation that there would be no increased demand on the water supply and remain in compliance with the intent of the County Water Policy. The Environmental Health Department was concerned that any new development projects operating without the benefit of public services would result in future public health problems. As a result, the parcels were conditioned to prevent any future public health problems from occurring. The five parcels included the following existing industrial uses: a personal storage facility with a sporting goods manufacturing, a packing and distributing company, a truck rental company, a mobile home tire sales company, and a company which recycled mobile home tires and axles. Environmental Health Department The Environmental Health Department (EHD) states that in the past there have been numerous problems with wastewater discharge violations and flooding and drainage problems in the project vicinity. The EHD is concerned that eliminating Condition 1 could potentially allow the use of on-site septic systems for sewage disposal that is not advisable for this location. Specifically, the EHD is concerned with the northeast quadrant of this I-L (S.10) zone, which consists of a mini-storage facility with sewage disposal provided by a package treatment facility at Arbor Mobile Home Park. A violation of wastewater discharge was recently issued to the mobile home park by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the mobile home park has endured severe flooding and drainage problems in the past 25 years that have resulted in the evacuation of people by boat and 4-wheel-drive vehicles. The elimination of zoning Condition 1. could potentially result in similar public health and environmental problems. Zone Reclassification Prior to approving a Zone Reclassification application, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors must determine that the following two (2) Bases for Zone Reclassification can be made: a. The proposed zone district is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, and any applicable Specific Plan; and b. The proposed zone district is reasonable and beneficial at the time (Development Title Section 9-812.4). San Joaquin County PA-02-442\Calkins Community Development Page 3
