Neighborhood Opposition A letter was received by the Department from Ms. June W. Bell, 3603 San Rafael Avenue, Stockton, and 53 additional residents of the neighborhood surrounding the site. The residents object to the application of commercial zoning to the site, as they think it would add additional traffic to streets servicing the site and the neighborhood. Because of its small size, this project is not expected to have significant impact on traffic. City of Stockton The City of Stockton, Community Development Department,responded to the application referral. The project site is within the City's Sphere of Influence boundary. The Department recommended denial of the application due to inconsistency with the City's General Plan. The City of Stockton has designated the property as Low/Medium-Density residential. If a commercial use were developed on the property, such use would be inconsistent with the General Plan, and the City would not provide sanitary sewer services to the site. General Plan and Zoning The General Plan development policies require public water, wastewater disposal, and storm drainage for both the existing Low Density Residential designation and the proposed Neighborhood Commercial designation. This site has public water. However, it does not have public drainage or sewage disposal. Because the development requirements are the same for the existing designation as they are for the proposed designation, it has been determined that this site meets the developmental criteria of the General Plan. This site also meets the locational criteria for Neighborhood Commercial. Specifically, it is located in an urban area, it is less than five acres in size, it is easily accessible by pedestrians and bicycles, and it is located on a Collector or higher classification roadway.
