The applicant, Hercules Vourakis, has submitted a Pre-application for a General Plan Amendment that would resesignate a 1 acre parcel from Agriculture (A/G)to Limited Industrial (IIL) along with the corresponding I-W rezoning. The applicant lives on the parcel his is interested in redesignating (APN 243-220-53, 18266 S. Austin Road, Manteca).

The County's community plan for the Manteca area indicates that industrial development is generally located in the southeast portion of the city (General Plan Vol. II, page VIII-2) The proposed site for rezoning lies immediately west of Manteca and across the street from the City's Sphere of Influence boundary line.

The General Plan policies that address designating land Limited Industrial without benefit of public services are intended to recognize existing industrially developed areas and not to create new areas. The proposed project is also inconsistent with the County's Preservation of Agricultural Lands/Compatible Uses policy (General Plan Vol. I, page VI-13). Policy 7 states that"There shall be
