In October 2003, the Port took over ownership of the entire naval facility and intends to use the property ultimately for Port related operations. Presently, the Port operates the entire Island with the exception of 60 acres to be transferred to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. According to a January 1996 draft, Historic and Archeological Resources Plan, 90% of the World Ward II base still exists on the Island. About one third of the building area on the base is being used by the federal General Services Agency ("GSA"), though GSA is expected to vacate the property in the foreseeable future. Other activities include general warehousing, recreation, and general cargo. Project Area Setting Overall, the Project Area consists of 143 structures (containing a total of 5 million square feet of warehouse and 1 million square feet of transit shed space), several miles of railroad track, and 6,000 linear feet of wharf with on- dock rail. The land uses in the Project Area are as follows: Administration: This includes administrative offices and security facilities. Community Services: This includes a credit union and a cafeteria. Recreation: Indoor recreation is located in a gymnasium building. Outdoor recreation includes a nine hole-golf course. Public Works: A 60,000 square foot building houses the public works shops, railroad and vehicle equipment shops, and storage warehouses. Storage/Supply Warehouses: Most of these structures are centrally located on the Island. Approximately 6,600 linear feet of wharf occupies the northern edge of the island. Agricultural: Approximately 405 acres of the island are used for commercial farming, of which 305 acres are irrigated. Parking: There are small parking lots in the warehouse area, housing area, and near the communications facility. The remaining parking is curbside. Railroad: There are several miles of unused substandard railroad tracks on the Island as well as a rail yard and a number of tracks that have been rehabilitated and are currently in use. Reasons for Redevelopment Redevelopment of the Project Area is necessary to mitigate the economic and social degradation faced by Stockton due to the closure of the Rough ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.
