r � 1.Approach and Scope of Work Tasks • Identify and map existing and approved land uses at the site and in the immediate environs,including nearby land uses in the cities of Manteca and Lathrop. (In the cumulative analysis,we will address the Manteca Northwest Airport Way Master Plan and other projects in Lathrop, Manteca and the County,as relevant). • Review and summarize planning documents relevant to the project site, including the County's General Plan(and the Lathrop and City of Manteca General Plans and Spheres of Influence). i Assess the project's relationship to the recently proposed Northwest Airport Way Master Plan for the City of Manteca, in which some on-site parcels overlap.The City of Manteca has proposed annexation of some County lands to allow this industrial and commercial development. • Assess the compatibility of the proposed project with surrounding land uses based on the secondary effects the project is anticipated to have. The secondary impacts of the proposed project will be addressed under such topics as air quality,traffic,visual resources,noise,etc. • Prepare a summary table identifying the project's consistency with relevant County General Plan policies and the need for mitigation measures when conflicts may be identified. Identify measures to mitigate any identified land use impacts or incompatibilities,providing appropriate cross reference to specific environmental topics(e.g.,air quality,traffic, visual resources,noise, etc.)where appropriate. Agricultural and Forestry Resources Issues The proposed project would include the expansion of the UP facility into an agricultural area adjacent to the existing facility.Although the proposed project ye would convert about 142 acres of prime agricultural land to an industrial use, the proposed use is conditionally permitted by its existing General Plan and zoning designations and no General Plan amendment is required. Also,the i. applicant would not be required to contribute to the County's Agricultural Mitigation Pee program.The EIR will address the impacts of the proposed ;s agricultural land conversion, along with other potential mitigation measures for the conversion of agricultural land to urban use. In undertaking this evaluation, ESA is cognizant of the potential implications of requiring mitigation for the loss of agricultural lands to uses permitted by existing agricultural General Plan and zoning designations. As a result,ESA will discuss various approaches to evaluation and potential mitigation requirements with County staff prior to undertaking the analysis.No forestry issues apply to the site; thus, this issue will not be discussed further. 1-6 San Joaquin County—E!R for the Union Paciric Modernization Project
