unincorporated San Joaquin County. When transferred to private ownership, the landfill will revert to the jurisdiction of San Joaquin County because it will no longer fulfill the legal requirement of City ownership or of use for public purposes. The General Plan Amendment will change the designation of the 297 acres in the City of Stockton from Public (P) to General Agriculture (AIG). The 105-acre balance is currently designated as General Agriculture(AIG).. Zoning As noted above, with the sale of the Austin Road Landfill to a private operator,the jurisdiction will revert to San Joaquin County. The County does not assign zone classifications to property in the city. The corresponding implementing zone for this property is AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum parcel size). The Zone Reclassification proposes to classify the 297 acres that will be deannexing from the City of Stockton to AG-40 and to amend the zone on the 105 acres in the County from P-F (Public Facilities)to AG- 40. USE PERMIT The Austin Road Landfill is located southeast of the City of Stockton, on the west side of Austin Road, approximately+2 miles south of Mariposa Road. Vehicular access to the landfill is from Austin Road on the east of the site. Approximately 182.5 acres are occupied by the existing Austin Road Landfill,consisting of a 166-acre active area and the original borrow pit and 16.5 acres for a flood control easement for the North ' Branch of the South Fork of Little Johns Creek,which separates the active area from the borrow pit. Of the 166-acre active area, approximately 45 acres are occupied by the borrow pit, and 121 acres are active landfill. A landfill gas collection system and electricity generation facility are installed at the landfill. The proposed 219-acre expansion of the Austin Road Landfill is to the north and southeast of the existing landfill operation. As shown in Figure 3, the expansion area consists of three separate parcels: the 125- acre site acquired from the California Youth Authority(CYA), the 83-acre site acquired from Albert Brocchini Farms, Inc. (Brocchini parcel),and the 11-acre triangular property acquired from the CYA. Land Use Adjacent land uses include the Forward Inc. Landfill to the south, agricultural lands to the east and west, and juvenile and women's prisons to the north. The Forward Inc. Landfill is approximately 1,200 feet south of the Austin Road Landfill and occupies 157 acres. It includes both Class II and Class III landfill units, is privately owned and operated, and is used exclusively by commercial waste haulers. The closest residences are at 9621 and 9690 Austin Road, about 1,250 and 1,700 feet, respectively,to the southeast of the existing landfill. The residence at 9621 Austin Road would be removed as part of the project(the occupant has been relocated). The residence at 9690 Austin Road would be within 500 feet of the proposed landfill. The Northern Califorimia Youth Center, a criminal detention facility, is located 1,900 feet-north of the Austin Road Landfill. With the proposed project, the borrow area would be approximately 300 feet from the detention facility. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport is approximately 7,500 feet west of the existing landfill. The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Intermodal Facility, a 470-acre train/truck cargo transfer and storage facility,was approved on September 23, 1999, and will be located approximately one mile northeast of the Austin Road Landfill,along the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad main fine. • 4 The 125-acre CYA parcel,directly north of the existing landfill, is restricted by the terms of acquisition to use .
