' Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report Page IV.A-3 <br /> Forward Inc.Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> Proposed Projects <br /> The 2013 EIR identified one proposed development project in the vicinity of the project site: <br /> • Opus Logistics Center, located northwest of the intersection of Arch and Austin Roads, <br /> consisting of subdivision and development of 475 acres within the City of Stockton for <br /> industrial uses(Phase I), and prezoning and annexation to the City of Stockton of an <br /> adjacent 148 acres (currently within San Joaquin County) for industrial use (Phase II) <br /> (Funderburg,2009;ESA,2008). <br /> After the 2013 EIR was prepared,the Opus Logistics Center was renamed "NorCal Logistics <br /> Center", and Phase II of the project(annexation to the City of Stockton of an adjacent 148 acres) <br /> was withdrawn from consideration. In 2015,the City of Stockton approved subdivision of <br /> approximately 325 acres of the 475-acre Phase I project area within the City of Stockton,with no <br /> change to the size or change the industrial development already allowed on the property. Thus, <br /> the currently proposed project(Phase I only) is smaller than the project identified in the 2013 <br /> EIR(Phases I and 11), and does not include new or different uses that were not described in the <br /> 2013 EIR.At the time this SEIR was prepared, construction was underway for a portion of the <br /> project'. <br /> As discussed in III. Project Description, Adjacent and Nearby Land Uses, the Mariposa Lakes <br /> project, a 3,810-acre residential project with 10.514 dwelling units, located southeast of Stockton <br /> city limits,is considered unlikely to be constructed before the anticipated closure date of the <br /> proposed Forward Landfill expansion project.z <br /> County of San Joaquin 2035 General Plan <br /> The General Plan was in the process of being updated at the time the 2013 EIR was prepared. <br /> The new San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan was adopted in December 2016 (San Joaquin <br /> County, 2016)and now serves as the planning document governing the project. The land use <br /> designations and policies discussed below replace those of the San Joaquin County General <br /> ' Plan 2010 that was in force when the 2013 EIR was prepared. <br /> 2035 General Plan Designations <br /> ' The land use designation map of the San Joaquin County General Plan(adopted December <br /> 2016) designates the northern portion of the existing Forward Landfill (north of the original <br /> ' alignment of the North Fork of South Littlejohn Creek) as A/UR(Agriculture--Urban <br /> Reserve), and the southern portion of the existing Landfill as A/G (Agricultural, General) (see <br /> Figure IV.A-1). (The North Fork of South Littlejohns Creek, currently passing along the <br /> northern and western edge of the existing Forward Landfill disposal area,was realigned in the <br /> 'Michael McDowell,Planning Manager,Planning&Engineering Division,Community Development <br /> Department,City of Stockton,email to Pang Ho of PHA Transportation Consultants,April 9,2018. <br /> 2 Mike McDowell,Planning Manager,Planning&Engineering Division,Community Development <br /> Department,City of Stockton,email to Pang Ho,PHA Transportation Consultants, 10 April 2018. <br />
