Item No. PC : 12-18-86 VR-87-2/SU-87-4 Page 7 The Guild Winery site is the only industrially-planned land in Woodbridge . Guild Winery has a pending General Plan Amendment application to change its land use designation from Industrial to Residential . According to the applicant , Southern Pacific Railroad Company is in the process of abandoning its rail right-of-way. Until Guild Winery discontinued operations last year, the winery was the only area land use served by the railroad spur . The appli- cant intends to acquire that portion of the right-of-way included in Lots 64 and 100 . The applicant will be required to provide proof of ownership prior to filing the Final Map on Unit 2 . The project presents no foreseeable land use conflicts with either existing or planned land uses in the vicinity. SUBURBAN DESIGN & IMPROVEMENTS : Site Access : One access point on Mokelumne Street was constructed in Unit 1 . A second Mokelumne Street access point will be established in Unit 2 and will be located approximately 325 feet east of the Unit 1 access . A third site access is proposed on Woodbridge Road, adjacent to Lots 64 and 100 . If approved, this access should be designated for use by emergency vehicles only. The Department of Public Works records reveal a high vehicle accident rate near the pro- posed access point , where Woodbridge Road changes directions sharply ( from northwest to west directions) . Under the Woodbridge Specific Road Plan, Woodbridge Road will be realigned and widened to make the turn more gradual . At the same time, however, Woodbridge Road will be expanded to four traffic lanes ( it now has two lanes) and become a major collec- tor . With the completion of the Chestnut Street Bridge (over the Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal ) , significantly higher traffic volumes are projected for Woodbridge Road. Staff 's position is that the establishment of new access points on major collectors should be discouraged, especially in instances such as this - where existing traffic problems have been docu- mented and adequate site access will be provided on a minor collector, Mokelumne Street . No individual lots were permitted to have direct access to Mokelumne Street in Unit 1 . The same restriction should be applied to Lots 90 , 91 , 92 , 93, 64 , and 100 of Unit 2 .
