Developments in the Commercial Recreation designation shall be limited to 50 percent of the total development area. • LU-5.11 Freeway Service Development: The County shall require that Freeway Service developments are designed in an attractive manner that creates a favorable impression of the County by considering the relationship to adjacent uses, site design and scale of development, building architecture, landscaping, signage, and circulation and parking. • LU-5.9 Special Purpose Plans: The County shall require significant new development to prepare a Special Purpose Plan in areas designated Freeway Service, Commercial Recreation, or Mixed-Use, unless the development is in an area that has an existing Master Plan or Specific Plan that can accommodate the proposed development. The Community Development Director shall determine whether a proposed project shall be required to prepare a Special Purpose Plan. Freeway Commercial Development • LU-5.11 Freeway Service Development: The County shall require that Freeway Service developments are designed in an attractive manner that creates a favorable impression of the County by considering the relationship to adjacent uses, site design and scale of development, building architecture, landscaping, signage, and circulation and parking. • LU-5.12 Limited Freeway Service Centers: The County shall limit the number of Freeway Service designated interchanges to encourage clustering of uses at selected interchanges and maintain the open space and agricultural character of the county experienced by the freeway traveler. • LU-5.13 Freeway Service Master Sign Plans: The County shall encourage comprehensive or integrated master sign plans for significant Freeway Service areas through the preparation of Special Purpose Plans. Integrated sign regulations included in an approved Special Purpose Plan may supersede the County's specific sign regulations for the C-FS zone in the Development Title. As previously discussed, the Truck Sales & Services — Parking use type is compatible with the allowed uses under the C/FS General Plan designation. In addition, there is a large trucking industry in San Joaquin County that uses the local freeway system for transportation. Permitting the Truck Sales & Services— Parking use type in the C-FS zone, which is an implementing zone for the C/FS General Plan designation, subject to an approved Use Permit application, would be consistent with the market in San Joaquin County. Since the proposed Development Title Text Amendment would permit proposed Truck Sales & Services— Parking operations subject to an approved User Permit application,the site specifics and potential environmental impacts would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the time of application.
