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 (1-T). Use Permit No. PA-2100228 (UP) to establish the use of a Truck Terminal. The project site proposes truck access from South Manthey Road, and emergency vehicle only access from West Frewert access. California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)Guidelines section 15064.3 requires Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) be evaluated as a part of the environmental review. TJKM prepared a VMT analysis dated April 28, 2023 for this project. The analysis considered the following proposed structures: 1,000 square foot guardhouse, a 2,800 square foot truck fueling facility canopy, an 80 square foot truck scale building, and an existing 4,900 truck maintenance shop for the facility totaling 8,780 square feet. The VMT conclusion is included below: "For VMT forecasting, the San Joaquin County Transportation Analysis Guidelines (September 2020, page 5) states that VMT is only relevant for daily automobile travel. As this project is a truck terminal parking facility, only the site buildings will be analyzed for the VMT significance criteria. Under CEQA, small office projects that are consistent with the San Joaquin County General Plan and are smaller than 11,300 square feet in size are exempt from VMT analysis and thus do not have a significant VMT impact. Since the total build out component for this project totals only 8,780 square feet, itis found to have an insignificant impact on VMT. The truck parking terminal project is also strategically located near other trucking hubs, and also is located near two major freeway ramps (Roth Road to the north and Lathrop Road to the south) for Interstate 5. Most importantly, this project is located right next to the Union Pacific Lathropitntermodal Terminal, which handles large amounts of freight and container transfers between rail and trucks. This project synergizes well with other truck facilities in the area and provides direct access to Interstate 5 and other major distribution centers in the area, decreasing the need for trucks to travel further to find adequate parking and resting facilities. Thus, the proposed truck parking terminal project would have a less than significant impact on VMT." The project site falls within Zone 8 of the Airport Influence Area the comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan boundaries for the Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The project site is located approximately 3.25 miles southwest of the nearest runway. The project shall abide by the applicable Airport Land Use Plan for the Stockton Metropolitan Airport.A referral was sent to the Airport Land Use Commission and the Stockton Metropolitan Airport on November 1, 2021, for review. As a Condition of Approval, the project will be subject to the Airport Land Use Commission's rules and regulations. As a result, impacts to airport flight paths will be reduced to less than significant. 23
