5. Community Development Department The Project requires that an EIR as well as revisions to the Conditional Use Permit are approved or certified by the County. Documentation regarding these approvals will be forwarded to the EHD when obtained. According to the April 1993 Draft EIR, the Lovelace Transfer Station and Lovelace Road area are designated for "General Agricultural" use on the San Joaquin County General Plan 2010 Land Use Map. In addition, county General Agricultural land use areas are typically committed to viable commercial agricultural enterprises that require large land areas to efficiently produce crops. However, according to the April 1993 Draft EIR, "public, institutional and/or major impact uses such as the existing transfer station facility are allowed within land use areas designated for General Agriculture upon securing a Use Permit. The County Community Development Department staff has determined that the proposed facility expansion does not require a General Plan Amendment as it is consistent with the County General Plan land use policies (Sullivan; personal communication)." Besides the completion of the CEA document for this project (an EIR) and the revision of the Conditional Use Permit, the Community Development Department will require that a Improvement Plan Permit and a Grading Permit and/or Building Permit, be applied for and approved, in accordance with County regulations. 6. California Department of Conservation The County may ultimately implement a recycling drop-off program for recyclables to the east of the transfer station building in a location designated as the "Recycling Drop-Off Area" on Drawing RSI-2. This area will generally be used by the Non- Automated Disposal site users to deposit recyclable materials into designated bins. In addition, a section within the Non-Automated Disposal Area willbe designated for drop off of recyclables. If the County elects to be certified by the California Department of Conservation (CDC) in the future, a copy of the approved CDC certification will be forwarded to the EHD. 7.
