Analysis <br /> LETTERS OF OPPOSITION <br /> Many letters, comments, and signatures in opposition have been received and are included in the <br /> Planning Commission's packet. These documents express concerns regarding density of development, <br /> property values, loss of farmland, traffic, schools and services, and endangered species. <br /> Density of Development: See 'Density Bonus.' <br /> Loss of Farmland: This issue was considered when this area was designated R/L on the <br /> General Plan Map. <br /> Traffic: See Traffic/Circulation.' <br /> Schools: The Manteca Unified School District requests that this project be included <br /> in a community facilities district. The applicant has agreed to annex this <br /> property to the Manteca Unified School District community facilities <br /> district. <br /> Services: The Sheriffs Department has indicated that this project will have a major <br /> impact on current law enforcement procedures and that continued <br /> growth of this nature will necessitate the establishment of a funding <br /> mechanism to maintain the current level of police service. Several crime <br /> prevention concepts were recommended and were passed on to the <br /> applicant. No response was received from the French Camp-Mckinley <br /> Fire District. <br /> Endangered Species: See 'Environmental Issues.' <br /> ZONE RECLASSIFICATION <br /> The proposed R-L zone district is a consistent implementing zone of the R/L General Plan designation. <br /> MAJOR SUBDIVISION <br /> Density Bonus <br /> The proposed density of 5.9 dwelling units per gross acre (5.9 du/ga) is within the 2-6 du/ga standard <br /> density of the R/L designation. However, pursuant to the Density Bonus provisions of the Development <br /> Title, the applicant proposes to reduce the minimum lot area from 6,000 to 5,000 square feet, reduce the <br /> minimum lot width from 60 to 50 feet, and reduce the minimum side yard setback from five feet to zero <br /> feet. The zero width side yards will be located adjacent to 10-foot-wide side yards and will provide for 10- <br /> foot-wide building separations. It is recommended that the proposed building pads and side yards be <br /> shown on the Improvement Plans for the Final Map. For these incentives, the applicant will agree to <br /> provide continued affordability as provided in Section 9-315.7 of the Development Title. <br /> San Joaquin County ZR-93-8/SU-93-7/Madoski <br /> Community Development Page 8 <br />
