APPENDIX 13.3 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT: A Report to Support the Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Amendment south of Tracy, San Joaquin County, in the vicinity of the Valpico Rural Residential Area Introduction This report is in response to a request for information about the impact of a proposed general plan amendment which would permit the development of 26 acres of agricultural land in Section 3, Township 3 South, Range 5 East, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian, into 14 rural residential lots under rural residential area designation. The proposed amendment area is identified as the Traina Bros. property on the attached map (GP -86-1). The section (Sec. 3, T3S R5E) is bounded by the following hard surfaced county roads Valpico Road to the north, Chrisman Road to the east, Linne Road to the south, and Mac Arthur Road to the west. There are two existing rural residential areas in the section: Valpico Rural Residential Area in the northwest portion (bounded to the east and south by Fair Oaks Road), and a portion of the Palmquist Rural Residential Area in the southwest corner, which appears to be an extension of the "Pereira Tract" located immediately to the west in the southeast corner of Section 4 The P.eouest for Proposal (San Joaquin County, Department of Planning and Building Inspection, Sept. 22, 1986) identifies the proposed development as one whim would permit the development of the Traina Bros parcel, a tract of land 26 acres in size It also calls for consideration of the ultimate conversion to rural residential of all remaining agricultural land within the section. Remaining agricultural lands in the section lie to the east and south of Fair Oaks Road. This larger area is identical with the "Proposed Amendment Area" of approximately 410 acres identified in an earlier, March 1978, Draft Environmental Impact Report for Valpico Rural Residential Expansion (San Joaquin County Planning Department). The two areas will be referred to in this report as the •'Traina Bros. parcel, or subject property" and the larger "Study Area", respectively.
