PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 17 , 1993 5. GENERAL PLAN MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. GP-92-13 AND ZONE RECLASSIFICATION APPLICATION NO. ZR-92-16 OF LOUIS KARLE, ET AL (C/O DON MOYER) : A General Plan Map Amendment to amend 35 acres from A/G (General Agriculture) to I/G (General Industrial) ; and a Zone Reclassification of 35 acres from AG-40 to I-G. The project site is located on the west and east sides of Hansen Road, 3 , 930 feet south of Schulte Road, west of Tracy (Supervisorial District 5) . Deputy Director Peggy Keranen introduced a staff report into the record. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED PROPONENTS: Don Moyer (P.O. Box 207 , Ripon) was present for these applications. He made the following points: • Mr. Moyer presented his analysis, recommendation and findings in a written form and this information is in the application file. • He said that the company to occupy the site is Concrete Products, Inc. , and the operation will be to manufacture concrete products that are used in freeways, and to recycle wooden pallets. There will be no hazardous chemicals involved and no water used for manufacturing operations. • There will be 25 full-time employees. He said this is a good location for a general industrial use. • The operation will generate approximately 75 vehicle trips per day at buildout. • He said that this property is planned for public services by the City of Tracy. The applicant is willing to condition the approval for connection to the sewer and water lines when they become available. The property owner is willing to annex the property to the City of Tracy. • The General Plan requirements are met in this project. He said there are no reasonable alternative sites for this use. This project will provide jobs and taxes and this will benefit the County. The project can meet the public services and traffic requirements. • The requirement concerning the bridge will "kill" the project because of the great expense involved. The additional traffic is so slight that it does not warrant this bridge improvement. • He referred to the Uberroth Report on California Council on Competitiveness. He warned against overrequlations. Deputy Director Peggy Keranen asked if the proposal was for urban services and if the applicant was amending the application to reflect that. -1-
