5.6 LAND USE <br /> Plan-covered species resulting from projects that convert open space to urban development <br /> and other non-agricultural activities occurring on agriculturally zoned properties. <br /> Participation in the Plan is voluntary for project applicants except when conditioned to <br /> participate by a Permittee. Project applicants that opt out of the Plan are required to satisfy <br /> applicable Endangered Species Act(ESA), California Endangered Species Act (CESA), <br /> National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), <br /> and other applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations through consultations <br /> with the appropriate parties. <br /> The process for an applicant to follow is: (1) submit a project application to the Lead <br /> Agency, (2) fill out the Land Development Form, (3) arrange with the San Joaquin County <br /> Council of Governments (SJCOG) for a biologist to conduct a pre-construction survey of the <br /> property prior to ground disturbance, (4) sign the Incidental Take Minimization Measures <br /> document, (5) pay applicable fees or choose another participation option in the plan,and <br /> (6) receive a Certificate of Payment (San Joaquin County,2005). <br /> 5.6.1.3.4 San Joaquin Council of Governments Airport Land Use Plans <br /> California state statutes require every county with an airport served by one or more <br /> commercial air carriers to have an Airport Land Use Commission(ALUC). For San Joaquin <br /> County,the San Joaquin Council of Governments Board of Directors is the designated <br /> ALUC. State statutes require each County's ALUC to prepare an Airport Land Use <br /> Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) with a 20-year planning horizon. The Airport Land Use Plan <br /> (ALUP) for San Joaquin County's Aviation System was prepared and adopted in 1983,and <br /> was revised and updated in 1993. <br /> In January 2008,the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) initiated the 16-to <br /> 18-month process of updating the 1993 ALUP. It has prepared several chapters4 of a Draft <br /> Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP),which have been posted on the following <br /> website: http://www.coffmanassociates.com/public/Sanjoaquin/. Because the ALUCP is <br /> not a final approved document,pertinent information from it is summarized in this <br /> discussion;however,the goals,objectives, and policies from the 1993 ALUP are the <br /> standards that the project must comply with. <br /> 1993 Airport Land Use Plan <br /> The ALUP addresses six airports located within San Joaquin County5,and has been deemed <br /> consistent with both the San Joaquin County's and City of Lodi s General Plans <br /> (Brunn,2008). The Kingdon Airport is located in proximity to (north of and adjacent to) the <br /> proposed gas pipeline alignment. The 41-acre airport is privately owned, and is used by <br /> general aviation business and pleasure aircraft including single engine,twin engine, and <br /> small business jets. Activities that occur at the airport include crop dusting,flight schools, <br /> aircraft maintenance training,full aircraft maintenance,fuel service, and hangar and tie- <br /> down services (SJCOG,1993). <br /> 4 Chapter 1 of the Draft ALUCP refers to a Chapter 3 that will include the safety,noise,and height restriction guidelines. <br /> Chapter Three is not yet available from the website. <br /> 5 The airports addressed in the 1993 ALUP were:Kingdon Airport,Lodi(Lind's)Airport, Lodi(Precissi)Airpark,New Jerusalem <br /> Airport,Stockton Metropolitan Airport,and Tracy Municipal Airport. <br /> SAC/371322/082340004(LEC_5.6_LAND_USE.DOC) 5.6-15 <br />
