III. Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigations <br /> A. Land Use,Plans and Policies <br /> be approximately 500 feet from the landfill expansion boundary. Approximately three other <br /> residences would be within one mile of the expanded landfill boundaries. The Northern <br /> California Youth Center living areas would be approximately 1,900 feet from the actual landfill <br /> area and about 300 feet from the CYA land that would be used as a soil borrow area(see Figure <br /> III.A.2). The proposed project site would be relatively close to the City of Stockton,the largest <br /> population center in the County. The proposed project would not be in conformance with all <br /> provisions of the San Joaquin County Airport Land Use Commission Policy document. (Refer to <br /> Impact A.3 of the Impacts section,below.) <br /> Goal 3: Encourage,facilitate and assist the location of new industry, and the expansion of <br /> existing industry in the City of Stockton. <br /> Policy 4: Continue to support and assist the efforts of other local agencies and organizations in <br /> their efforts to attract new job-generating industrial firms to Stockton and San <br /> Joaquin County. <br /> The City would work with San Joaquin County to facilitate the proposed project. <br /> Streets and Highways <br /> Goal 1: Develop a street and highway system which promotes the safe,efficient and reliable <br /> movement of people and goods. <br /> Policy 3: Significant trip generating land uses should be served by roadways adequate to <br /> provide vehicular access with a minimum of delay. <br /> Access to the existing Austin Road Landfill is provided on the east side by Austin Road,which <br /> intersects both French Camp Road(3.5 miles south of the site)and Arch Road(2.0 miles north <br /> of the site). State Highway 99, which connects the Cities of Manteca and Stockton,is located <br /> two miles west of the site. Freeway access to State Highway 99 is provided by interchanges at <br /> French Camp and Arch Roads. State Highway 99 is a four-lane,divided freeway,and Arch, <br /> French Camp and Austin Roads are two-lane asphalt surfaced,all weather roadways. <br /> Air and Water Transportation <br /> Goal 2: Minimize adverse impacts resulting from the operation of the Stockton Metropolitan <br /> Airport. <br /> Policy 2: New residential and noise sensitive land uses should not be developed within the <br /> runway approach surface as defined by the Airport Overlay Zone. <br /> III.A.5 <br />
