Mr. Moyer responded that the applicant is willing to install the services within 48 months, or when they become available. Ms. Keranen said that a letter had been received from the City of Tracy noting that this project is consistent with their Urban Management Plan, but there is no evidence that Tracy would service this property. She said this use would be an extension of an industrial area outside of a community and would require urban services. Yvan Albert (1391 W. lith St. , Tracy) said that this is the only parcel they could find in the Tracy area to accommodate this particular use.
