Dear Mr.Griffin: SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application referral for PA-1900158 (FV). This project consists of a Flood Variance application for an existing PG&E gas storage facility. The request seeks a grant relief from the elevation requirements of San Joaquin County's ordinance (Chapter 9-1605.12 (a) Flood Hazards)to build two (2) modular(s)in the 100-year flood plain with the finished floor below the 100-year base flood elevation. The modular(s)would replace two (2)existing light wood construction trailers with two (2) modular(one [111,920 square foot open office space modular and one [1] 1,440 square foot conference room modular) designed to withstand the blast load that would be expected in the case of an event. The project site is on Zuckerman Island, 0.9 miles north of the bridge from McDonald Road, west of Stockton (APN/Address: 129-310-12,-13/1101 North Zuckerman Road, Stockton). San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP).
