To: Kelsey Gunter, San Joaquin County, Community Development Department From: Laurel Boyd, SJCOG, Inc. Date: September 13, 2021 Local Jurisdiction Project Title: PA-2100146(MS) Re-Referral Local Jurisdiction Project Number: PA-2100146(MS) Assessor Parcel Number: 065-100-44,-45 Total Acres to be converted from Open Space Use: Unknown Habitat Types to be Disturbed: Multi-Purpose Open Space, Natural and Urban Habitat Land Species Impact Findings: Findings to be determined by SJMSCP biologist. Dear Ms. Gunter: SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application referral for PA-2100146 (MS). This project consists of a Minor Subdivision application to subdivide a 59.02-acre parcel into 2 parcels. Parcel 1 to contain a 3.62-acre homesite parcel, which was previously approved as a Financing Homesite Parcel under PA-1100148 (MS). The Designated Remainder to contain 55.40 acres. The project site is on the north side of E. Eight Mile Road, 5,681 feet east of N. Tully Road, Linden (APN/Address: 065-100-44, -45/17337 E. Eight Mile Road, Linden). San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. It should be noted that two important federal agencies (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board) have not issued permits to the SJCOG and so payment of the fee to use the SJMSCP will not modify requirements that could be imposed by these two agencies. Potential waters of the United States [pursuant to Section 404 Clean Water Act] are believed to occur on the project site. It may be prudent to obtain a preliminary wetlands map from a qualified consultant. If waters of the United States are confirmed on the project site, the Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB)would have regulatory authority over those mapped areas [pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act respectively] and permits would be required from each of these resource agencies prior to grading the project site. At this time, the applicant is requesting a Minor Subdivision with no ground disturbance. Any future ground disturbing activities (e.g. roads, curb, gutter, electrical, water, etc.) or any physical structures that require ground disturbance on this or subsequent divided parcels will be subject to participate in the SJMSCP before ANY_ground disturbance occurs and should be resubmitted to this a-gency. Current or future owners of this-or subdivided properties should be made aware of the conditions that are placed by the SJMSCP on future development on the created parcels.
