Analysis Backctround On June 20, 2002, the Planning Commission approved Site Approval Application No. PA-02-6 for a poultry ranch with a maximum of 12,000 egg laying chickens (Use Type: Animal Raising-Small Animals). The poultry ranch was originally under enforcement for operating without the benefit of permits. There have been no animals on the premises for the past 2 years. The applicant has a fifteen (15) foot wide recorded easement for access along Verigin Road (a private road). The applicant states that the amount of traffic generated by the poultry ranch is minimal. Poultry feed is delivered to the ranch by means of a commercial truck 1-2 times per month, and the eggs are taken to farmers' markets by means of a pickup truck on a weekly basis. Revision of Approved Actions The applicant is requesting to remove Condition 1.e.(1), which states that the first one hundred (100)feet of Verigin Road shall be surfaced and permanently maintained with base material of appropriate depth and asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete to provide a durable, dust-free surface. This condition of approval was required for two reasons. The first reason was to reduce the amount of dust generated by traffic on Verigin Road. The second reason was to prevent mud and rocks from being dragged onto State Route 99 East Frontage Road from project-related traffic during the winter seasons. The Planning Commission required as a condition of approval that a dust retardant be applied to Verigin Road once per year(Condition 1.k.(1)) to reduce dust. In order to prevent traffic from dragging mud and rocks onto the frontage road, the Department of Public Works will require the applicant to obtain an encroachment permit(Conditions 2.e. and f.). This will require the applicant to improve the ultimate right- of-way of State Route 99 East Frontage Road to San Joaquin County standards from State Route 99 East Frontage Road to Verigin Road. The Community Development Department is recommending that, because Condition 1.k.(1)will reduce potential dust impacts to less than significant, and because the encroachment permit will eliminate excessive mud and rocks from dragging onto State Route 99 East Frontage Road, the requirement for the paving of the first 100 feet of Verigin Road be eliminated. The applicant is also requesting a six (6) month time extension to complete the conditions of approval. The applicant will not be permitted to operate the poultry ranch until all required permits have been obtained. San Joaquin County PA-02-61Khan Community Development Page 3
