Potentially Less Than Less Than Analyzed Significant Significant with Significant No In The g Mitigation g Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Prior EIR 11. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. -- Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and 1:1 E] ❑ ❑ ❑ Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to nonagricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X ❑ c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑X ❑ Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? ❑ ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ forest land to non-forest use? Impact Discussion: a-e) This project is comprised of three components. General Plan Map Amendment No. PA-2100226 proposes to change the General Plan land use designation from General Agriculture (AIG) to Truck Terminal (IIT). Zone Reclassification No. PA-2100227 to proposes to change the Zoning Designation from General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum (AG-40) to Truck Terminal (I-T). Use Permit No. PA-2100228 (UP) to establish the use of a Truck Terminal. The Use Permit will be completed in 2 phases over 5 years. Phase 1 to include the construction of a 1,000-square-foot guard house; a 2,800-square-foot fueling station; an 80-square-foot scale building; a 4,900- square-foot maintenance shop; and the conversion of an existing 900-square-foot residential home to a caretaker's unit. Phase 2 to include the construction of 3 covered parking structures totaling 72,300 square-feet. The project is proposing a total of 711 truck and trailer parking spaces. The proposed project will not affect the nearby Williamson Act contracted property or displace any existing agricultural uses. No forest or timberland exists in the area. Therefore, the proposed application will have no impact on agriculture and forestry resources. 6
