INITIAL STUDY, CONTINUED Project Description This project is a Williamson Act Cancellation application to cancel a 1.2-acre portion of a parcel that contains 22.6 acres and a Site Approval application to change the use of an existing single- family residence to a bed and breakfast inn. The inn may only be approved if the Williamson Act cancellation is approved. The 1.2-acre area contains a 10,000-square-foot single family residence, a large driveway, and a swimming pool. There are no agricultural uses on the,12 acres. The project is located on the southwest comer of Taddei Road and Bender Road, in III Acampo. The General Plan designation is.General Agriculture and the zoning is General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum. Environmental Issues 2.c. Prime Farmland } The purpose of the proposed cancellation is to delete the existing residence, the existing driveway and the existing swimming xistin swimmin pool areas from the contract. This will remove 1.2 acres from the existing 23 acres under contract. There will be no disturbance, encroachment, or interference with the existing seventeen acres of walnuts and grapes. A Notice of Non-renewal has been filed for the 1.2 acres. The proposed alternative use for the residence is a bed and breakfast inn. The inn may be conditionally permitted with an approved Site Approval application. Approval of the cancellation would not encourage similar uses oncontracted land in the vicinity. No other house available to the applicant meets the criteria for a bed and breakfast. No changes to the land are likely to occur due to approval of this application. 3.b. Plant/Animal The Natural Diversity Database does not list any rare, endangered, or threatened species or habitat on or near the site. Referrals have been sent to the San Joaquin Council of Governments at the applicant may participate in the San Joaquin (SJCOG) for review. If SJCOG determines th pp y p p q Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), and if the applicant es to participate, then the proposed project is consistent with the SJMSCP, as amended, as chows p p p p p 3 reflected in the conditions of project approval for this proposal. Pursuant to the Final EIRIEIS for the SJMSCP , dated November 15, 2000, and certified by the San Joaquin Council of Governments on December 7, 2000, implementation of the SJMSCP is expected to reduce impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a level of less-than- significant. If the applicant chooses not to participate, then the applicant will be required to participate in a similar mechanism that provides the same level of mitigation. 9.a. Transportation The underlying project is a Site Approval application for a bed and breakfast inn. The Department of Public Works was sent a referral for both projects on October 30, 2009. No reply has been received. This parcel has a previous CUP for a wine tasting room and winery with marketing events. There is a traffic study being conducted to allow for up to 370 people per event. It is likely that the mitigation required, if any, for the expansion of the marketing events would cover the adjacent bed and breakfast, since they would share a driveway and the bed and breakfast has only five bedrooms. If the Department of Public Works asks for a revised traffic study, this Initial Study will be I Initial Study - 7 - Rev 5-00
