Pursuant to Section 9-1080.3(f), submission of the required legal instrument to provide agricultural mitigation land shall occur at the time of grading permit or building permit issuance for the underlying development project. Basis for General Plan Amendment Development Title Section 9-803.4 states that prior to approving a General Plan Amendment application, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors shall determine that the internal consistency of the General Plan is maintained in the adoption of the Amendment. The proposed amendment must be consistent with various General Plan goals, policies, objectives and implementation measures. General Plan Policies Location and Character of Development (General Plan, Volume I, pp. IV-5-10) 5. Development shall be orderly and compact. Development would not be orderly and compact as the parcel is surrounded by agriculturally designated land and Open Space Resource Conservation to the north and east. The project site is outside of the Sphere of Influence of Tracy and there is no convenient access to the project site. The proposal does not appear to meet this policy. 6. Development should occur on vacant lots within existing communities as "infill" before extending beyond the current developed areas of the community. There are existing vacant lots within the urban community of Tracy where development can occur. The proposal does not appear to meet this policy. 7. Residential, commercial, and industrial development shall be shown on the General Plan Map only in communities identified in Figure IV-1, except in the following instances: (a) contiguous, industrial expansion of existing industrial areas; (b) Freeway Service areas; (c) Commercial Recreation areas; or (d) Truck Terminal areas. The subject parcel is not located within a community listed in Figure IV-1 Urban and Rural Communities and is not an expansion of an existing industrial area. The proposal does not appear to meet this policy.
