• The proposal to redesignate the area to Low-Density Residential (R/L) appears to be consistent with this General Plan Policy. In particular the project is bounded on the North and South by residential lots and single- family dwelling units and land that is appropriately zoned Low-Density Residential (R/L). General Plan Infrastructure Services Requirements Future development is directly related to the location, availability and quality of infrastructure services available to the public. Expansion of urban communities shall be limited to areas where community wastewater treatment systems can be provided. (Policy #1 , Volume I, pp. IV-60) The proposed General Plan Amendment would expand the urban community of Lockeford. Currently the Lockeford Community Services district operates and maintains the community services in Lockeford. Lockeford Community Services District has not provided the applicant with the necessary provisions for infrastructure systems stating that it can and will provide the required services. Therefore, prior to a full submittal of the General Plan Amendment application accommodations for public water, sewer, and drainage will be required.

The project site is surrounded by available Low-Density Residential land to the north and south which has not been developed. The project does not appear to meet this implementation measure. • The potential for the project to create premature development pressure on surrounding agricultural lands Public services would not be available for the adjacent agricultural lands so this does not create pressure to develop surrounding agricultural lands. • The availability of infrastructure The applicant shall receive approval from the Lockeford Community Services District for the provision of water and waste water disposal.
