truck trips to the facility by STAA trucks, which will require the applicant to obtain approval from the Department of Public Works and CalTrans for a new or extended STAA route, as a recommended Condition of Approval. Approved routes may include additional improvements at the discretion of these agencies. Additionally, the proposed driveway from East Pine Street will require an encroachment permit and will be subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Public Works. No access is proposed from State Route 12, nor is access from State Route 12 required. In relation to water quality and utilities/service systems, parcels zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) with an underlying General Plan designation of A/G may use a well for water, a septic tank for wastewater disposal, and retain storm drainage on-site. Connection to public services is not required. Water is proposed to be provided by an existing on-site agricultural well for the underlying project. Any improvements to the existing agricultural well shall be done under permit from the Environmental Health Department. Additionally, the Environmental Health Department has approved a Soil Suitability Nitrate Loading Study (SR0085176) and determined that the site is suitable for an on-site wastewater disposal system for the underlying project, which must be done under permit with the Environmental Health Department. Storm water drainage must be retained on-site for the underlying project and will be subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Public Works and the Mosquito and Vector Control District's Mosquito Prevention Best Management Practices for the design and maintenance of the stormwater pond. With the recommended Conditions of Approval, the underlying project is not anticipated to result in significant impacts to utility and service systems. Regarding noise, Development Title Section 9-404 lists the Residential use type as a noise sensitive land use. Development Title Section Table 9-404.050 states that the maximum sound level for stationary noise sources of 65dB is normally acceptable and does not require additional study. The nearest single-family residence is located approximately 600 feet southwest of the project site and packaging activities will occur indoors. Agricultural activities like fruit processing are covered under the Right-to-Farm ordinance, which states agricultural activities shall not be considered a nuisance. Additionally, noise from construction activities are exempt from noise standards provided the construction occurs no earlier than 6:00 A.M. and no later than 9:00 P.M. The proposed underlying project would be subject to Development Title standards pertaining to maximum sound levels for stationary noise sources and construction activities. As a result, noise impacts from the proposed agricultural processing facility are anticipated to be less than significant with this application. In regards to hazardous materials, the underlying project proposes to have a diesel tank to fuel an on-site pump for fire suppression for the proposed facility and a conventional refrigeration system. The applicant states that the diesel tank includes double wall construction and a leak detection system. This tank will be subject to statutory regulations facilitated by the Environmental Health Department for above and underground storage tanks. Additionally, installation of the conventional refrigeration system will be subject to the 2022 California Building Code. With this oversight, impacts from hazardous materials related to the diesel tank and conventional refrigeration system are anticipated to be less than significant. Regarding land use, the Industry -Agricultural use type is conditionally permitted in the AG-40 zone with an approved Administrative Use Permit application. The proposed underlying project is an agricultural support use and will have a less than significant impact to surrounding agricultural and industrial parcels with incorporation of the recommended Conditions of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Therefore, the proposed General Plan Map Amendment to change the General Plan designation from I/T to A/G, which would facilitate the underlying project, has been reviewed in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and all potential impacts are anticipated to be less than significant.
