Item No. 4 PC : 1-21-88 SP-88-1 Page 2 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: The Wilcox Road Specific Plan was adopted in 1978 . The plan established an 84-foot future right-of-way extending from Calaveras River to the north to the diverting canal to the south. Subsequently, portions of Wilcox Road were constructed north of State Route 88 . South of State Route 88 , no improvements have been constructed since the plan was adopted. The Wilcox Road Specific Plan has been modified one time . In 1986, the Planning Commission approved a map modification of the loop connecting Piccoli Road to Wilcox Road. The present request must be approved by the Board of Supervisors because, unlike the 1986 modification, SP-88-1 does not include a development propo- sal . The intent of the California Cedar Products request is to increase the distance between the future Wilcox Road extension and existing industrial improvements located adjacent to the east side of the present alignment . POLICY CONSIDERATIONS : General Plan and Zoning: The proposal is consistent with the General Plan principle of protecting future road rights-of-way through the adoption of Specific Road Plans. The proposed realignment will retain the standard industrial road right-of-way width, 84 feet . In addition to the unchanged Specific Road Plan regulations, the parcels adjacent to the realignment will be subject to regulations of the M-1 (Limited Manufacturing) zone now in place. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: Land Use: One project issue involves a consideration of whether the realignment will be beneficial to properties on both sides of the modified right-of-way. All existing industrial uses along the realigned segment are located on the east side of the right-of-way. East-side pro- perty owners will benefit to one degree or another through the shifting of the future road six feet further from their capital improvement investments.
