The project consists of a plan to manufacture, warehouse and distribute landscaping products. The project is located south of Stockton, on the west side of McKinley Avenue, south of El Dorado Street, and north of French Camp Slough, in San Joaquin County. The proposed project will result in the conversion of open-space agricultural lands to non-open space use and will have a significant negative effect by contributing to the cumulative loss of wildlife habitat. San Joaquin County is a participant in the San Joaquin Multi-Species Conservation Plan (SJMSCP)which addresses impacts to wildlife and their habitat. Under the terms of the Implementing Agreement for the SJMSCP, participating local governments have committed to ensure that any project which they approve within the SJMSCP area pays appropriate development fees or is required to include minimization or mitigation measures, as described in the SJMSCP, as conditions of project approval. Therefore, we recommend that you condition the proposed project so that it is consistent with the SJMSCP. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Sections 21092 and 21092.2, the DFG requests written notification of proposed actions and pending decisions regarding this project. Written notifications should be directed to this office.
