"The project area has been zoned R-R [Rural Residential]for years. Linne Estates, LLC, has recently rezoned the property to R-VL[Residential-Very Low Density], thereby increasing the residential density by a factor of 2.5 and thereby creating a more efficient use of agricultural land." Neighborhood Opposition The Community Development Department received five (5) letters of opposition from neighbors. The letters expressed concerns about aesthetics, reduction in the value of home and life, potential odors, impacts on individual wells, wastewater discharge, traffic, and the location of nearby industrial zoning. The Community Development Department prepared an Initial Study for the project and did not identify any significant environmental impacts to surrounding properties that could not be reduced to less than significant. The wastewater treatment facility equipment will be located within locked buildings, and the influent equalization tank and pumping station are located underground. Therefore, potential aesthetic and air quality impacts will be less than significant. Theexisting public wells are monitored by, �the.- Department of Public Works and are not expected to impact.existing private wells. The effluent from the -- wastewater treatment plant will be treated to exceed standard drinking water standards. A traffic study- was tudywas prepared, and mitigation measures have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval to reduce potential project related traffic impacts to a less than significant level. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the R/VL General Plan designation and the R-VL zone and will not be significantly impacted by nearby industrial development. In addition, the project area is adjacent to existing residential development within the County and within one half(1/2) mile from residential development within the City of Tracy.
