-3- Show restricted access to vacant parcels along Linne Road. (As a point of information, Development Title Section 9-1150.10 states that for all public roadways to which access is prohibited, a six (6) foot tall wall is required and shall be of uniform design and constructed of masonry). The applicant shall submit five (5) revised copies of the tentative map (18" x 26") and two (2) reduced copies of the revised tentative map (8 '/2' x 11") to the Community Development Department for further review. Pending General Plan Amendment The proposed subdivision is adjacent to approximately twenty (20) acres of land currently proposing a General Plan Amendment to amend the designation from R/R to RNL (PA-02-371) and Zone Reclassification to change the zone from R-R to R-VL(PA- 02-372). The same applicant who submitted the Major Subdivision application filed the General Plan Amendment and Zone Reclassification applications. If the applicant intends to subdivide the 20 acres in the near future, he may want to consider submitting one tentative map for the entire area. Similar studies will likely be required for the future project. Loss of Agricultural Land According to the San Joaquin Important Farmland Map (Dept. of Conservation), the land proposed for development is classified as Prime Farmland. The loss of forty-four (44) acres of this land (not including the "designated remainder"), as a result of this project, is considered a significant loss of agricultural land. By providing one of the following mitigation measures, this impact can be reduced to less than significant: 1. By providing water supply for agriculture. 2. By assisting agriculturalists in developing restoration and conservation projects. 3. By purchasing and combing smaller parcels to make agriculture more viable. 4. By conducting or funding flood plain restoration projects that benefit agriculture. 5. By developing or funding buffer zones between urban development and agricultural land. 6. By improving levees to protect agricultural land from flooding. 7. By conducting or funding erosion control projects that benefit agriculture. 8. By clustering development of the "Project" to support efficient use of agricultural land. 9. By conducting or providing funding for techniques that increase production by identifying new processes, new techniques, or new crop potential on heretofore-limited agricultural production lands, i.e., converting grazing land to vineyards. 10. By conducting or funding programs that identify best agriculture management practices to increase efficiencies, such as land adjacent to wetlands, and potentially bring more agricultural land into production.
