Underlying Project The underlying project that necessitated the need for this Text Amendment is a forty-nine (49) unit affordable housing development exclusively for homeless Veterans on a 4-acre portion of a 16-acre parcel owned by San Joaquin County Hospital (APN: 193-050-15). In addition to the residential units, a 4,000 square foot community center (private use for residents only) and office space is proposed. There is also an 800 square foot maintenance building proposed. It is anticipated that there will be two (2) full time employees and two (2) part time employees associated with operating the facility. The average number of personal vehicles associated with each unit is one (1). The project will be served by public water, sewer, and storm drainage. Basis for Development Title Text Amendment Prior to approving an application for a Text Amendment, the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors must determine that the proposed Text Amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable Master Plan. Since the proposed Text Amendment limits the Veterans Supportive Housing to areas meeting a specific locational criteria, there is only one(1) possible location for this project to occur within the unincorporated areas of San Joaquin County, and this area has an underlying General Plan designation of Public(P/F).Therefore,the following is an analysis of the consistency of the proposed Development Title Text Amendment with the General Plan and the P/F designation. General Plan Consistency Public (P/F) (pg. 3.1-67) This designation provides for location of services and facilities that are necessary to the health and welfare of the community. The Public designation may be applicable to any area of the County where a public or quasi-public use is appropriate or where a public agency owns property. Building types vary based on use. Allowed Uses This designation provides for the following public and quasi-public uses: • Government buildings • Public and private schools • Colleges and universities • Libraries • Penal institutions • Hospitals • Public and private airports (excluding the Stockton Metropolitan Airport) • Water, wastewater, and drainage facilities • Transportation and utility facilities • Other compatible public, quasi-public uses As previously noted,the Veterans Supportive Housing use type is defined as"long-term,supportive and affordable housing for Veterans and their families to assist in regaining and maintaining independence, and fits within the PIF General Plan designation as "other compatible public, quasi- public uses." The proposed use type is inherently the provision of a service facility for the health and welfare of our homeless veterans population, and with the proposed special use regulations, can only be sited on in one area, which is property owned by a public agency (the County). General Plan Goal LU-9 (pg. 3.1-69): Provide for governmental, utility, institutional, educational, cultural, religious, and social facilities and services that are located and designed to complement San Joaquin County communities and to minimize incompatibility with neighborhoods and other uses.
