• Project related air pollutant emissions (carbon monoxide, ozone, and PM-10)would exceed the Air Pollution Control District's thresholds for significance. • Project traffic, when added to cumulative conditions (year 2010), would result in LOS EIF operations on State Routes 12188 through Lockeford from Brandt Road to Tully Road. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING The Residential Low Density zone designation's minimum lot size is 8,000 square feet with a minimum lot width of 60 feet for this site. The Residential Low Density zone permits parcels to a minimum of 6,000 sq. ft., however, Volume II of the General Plan controls policies specific to the Urban Community of Lockeford that requires a minimum parcel size of 8,000 sq. ft (Volume 11, page VI-15). As shown, the tentative map is consistent with these requirements. A General Plan Implementation Specific to Lockeford requires "An archaeology study and report shall be required for all discretionary application ... within 100' of the centerline of Bear Creek...." As part of the EIR prepared for the original River Oaks project, a Cultural Resource survey was prepared. Because of recent changes in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) relative to cultural resources (Section 15064.5) this study will need, at a minimum, to be revised to conform to current 1 requirements: A General Plan Policy Specific to Lockeford pertains to a portion of the subject property. The policy states " The oak grove south of the Lockeford Elementary School shall be protected." The oak grove on the property is not part of the project area to be subdivided. The project is consistent with the above policy. NOISE Section 9-1025.9 of the Development'fitle requires that proposed noise sensitive land uses that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources shall be + required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources. The resulting noise levels on the proposed project shall not exceed the standards of 65 dB Ldn for outdoor activity areas and 45 dB Ldn for interior spaces. Volume ill of the General Plan identities the 2005 noise contour at the project site, along Jack Tone Road, to be sixty-five (65) dB Ldn at eighty three (83)feet from the roadway ! edge. Section 9-1025.9(d) requires the preparation of an acoustical study in instances that existing,or proposed noise sensitive land uses may be exposed to noise levels that exceed noise standards (Table 9-1025.9). This determination is based on existing or future-sixty five- (65) dB Ldn noise coniours in the General Plan. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Oak trees During the review of the application it was noted that native oak trees exist in the area of the proposed project. The applicant's plans for the oak trees are Unclear.
