December 20, 2020 U. Giuseppee Sanfillippo, Project Planner Community Development Department San Joaquin County 1810 E. Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Prom: Veronica Carloni PO Box 782 12355 Locke Road Lockeford, CA 95237 Re: Commercial Cannabis Business Park —Locke Road, Lockeford Application Referral # PA 2000007 (PP) and it PA 2000094 (DA) Dear Mr. Sanfillippo, Please accept this letter and the comments contained herein for the public record for the above noted project. I am a resident of Lockeford and reside directly across the street from the proposed Cannabis Business Park on Locke Road. I would like to express my opposition to this project and note the following concerns. Public Outreach: There has been NO community outreach regarding this application. I live directly across the street in a single family residence, and I have received NO public notifications about this project. I was informed that outreach was provided only within 350ft of 12470 Locke Road (applicant). NO one lives within 350 feet of the project. The closest resident is 400 feet as stated in the Negative Declaration (page 26). This means NO local residents or property owners were notified. I express a strong objection that better efforts have not been made to notify all the residents of Locke, Tretheway, Brandt roads and the town of Lockeford jile ust less than one maway. It is my understanding that this project is currently the largest project of its kind seeking an application within San Joaquin County. As such, it is incumbent upon the County to take extra steps and efforts to engage the community and seek public input from the town of Lockeford and its residents. Transportation/Traffic: The transportation study (as presented in the Neg Dec pg.31) is inadequate. tt does not take into consideration the current use of roadways. It is stated that past years traffic patterns have been referenced however there is not adequate data to support when those studies were conducted to compensate for the current COVID 19 pandemic traffic patterns or future traffic patterns. The proposed staffing rates are also questionable. This.does not allow fora "peak" season which may be necessary during a harvest period when more employees may be required, resulting in higher volume of Page 1 of 3
