FINDINGS FOR SITE APPROVAL <br /> PA-2100209 <br /> FRED A. & NARLEEN J. DOUMA,TRUST/PROVOST& PRITCHARD <br /> 1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any <br /> applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan <br /> adopted by the County. <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed manure digester and blogas facility may be <br /> conditionally permitted in the AG-40 (General Agriculture-40 acre minimum) zone with an <br /> approved Site Approval application. The project is also consistent with the goals, policies, <br /> standards and maps of the General Plan. There are no Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or <br /> Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity. <br /> 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary <br /> facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and <br /> proposed roadways. <br /> • This finding can be made because adequate utilities,access roads,sanitation,drainage and <br /> other necessary facilities have been provided and the proposed improvements are properly <br /> related to existing and proposed streets and highways.The proposed manure digester and <br /> biogas facility will be served by an individual well and on-site storm drainage. The amount <br /> of storm drainage runoff generated by the construction of any new buildings will be <br /> contained on-site. The Department of Public Works is requiring the developer to provide <br /> drainage facilities and meet the requirements of San Joaquin County Development <br /> Standards to prevent the increased runoff release rate of storm water from discharging onto <br /> other properties and to prevent offsite sediment transport. Domestic wastewater services <br /> can be provided through a septic system. <br /> 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. <br /> • This finding can be made because the parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate <br /> the proposed manure digester facility and all yards, building coverage, setbacks, parking <br /> areas, and other requirements of the Development Title. The site plan shows that there is <br /> sufficient area for parking and circulation for the manure digester and biogas facility in <br /> compliance with standards of the Development Title. <br /> 4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be <br /> injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. <br /> • This finding can be made because an Initial Study prepared for this project found no <br /> potentially significant environmental impacts that could not be mitigated to a less than <br /> significant level. The landowner has agreed to participate in the San Joaquin Council of <br /> Governments Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan. As a Condition of <br /> Approval, prior to ground disturbance, landowners proceeding with development of the <br /> parcel will need to contact the San Joaquin Council of Governments regarding the <br /> requirements of the Multi-Species Habitat and Open Space Plan. Additionally, the project <br /> must meet the noise ordinance requirements of 65 dB at the property line. <br /> 5. The use is compatible with adjoining land uses. <br /> • This finding can be made because the proposed uses will not interfere with nor alter the <br /> current land uses on adjacent properties. The properties surrounding the project site are <br /> zoned AG-40 and are being used for agricultural purposes with scattered residences and <br /> these uses can remain. <br /> PA-2100209—Findings 1 <br />
