associated farm buildings lie approximately 3/4 mile west of the processing facility. Another residence lies approximately 3/4 mile to the north of the processing facility, on the east side of Linn Road. Uses on the processing facility site consist of rock crushing and separating machinery, asphalt mixing machinery, tailings mounds and associated storage and processing equipment. 3.8.2 Impacts Quarry Site The proposed quarry operation is consistent with the AG-40 zoning for the County of San Joaquin and the uses allowed within that district. The quarry site, however, lies within 300 feet of residential uses in the town of Clements and commercial uses lie within 1,000 feet of the site. Several of the residences are permanently occupied units which are close enough to the proposed extraction site which would make them susceptible to noise and visual impacts of the project activity (see sections 3.6 and 3.9). The quarry activities proposed would be anticipated to extend for approximately 10 years and would be conducted in two phases, each extending for approximately 5 years. Each phase is scheduled to be undertaken in sections. Residences nearest the proposed quarry site are located approximately 300 feet from the southern site boundary and approximately 2,700 feet to the northern site boundary. If the 20.64 acre potential residential area located on the knoll bordering the southwestern portion of the site is developed, units may be as close as 200 feet from quarry activities, and as far away as approximately 2,000 feet when quarry operations are at the north end of the project site, i.e., Phase I1. Because of its proximity to existing residential and commercial uses, and to residentially zoned uses, the quarry site would be inconsistent with the guidelines of the Draft General Plan which state that land uses should be appropriately located to be compatible with their surroundings.
