Planning Commission Law Office of � April 21, 2005 STEVEN P. BELZER Page 3, generally been to the south and west. (See, Lodi General Plan (April 1991) Figure A-1, New Development Potential, 2007, page A-4-2.) A view of the area indicates that new residential uses are being developed in the area to the immediate north of the property. Future urban growth is likely to develop in the area in the near-term future. Nevertheless, the applicant proposes to retain most of its land in agriculture at present. Although concerns were previously expressed, the applicant has met with its agricultural neighbors, discussed the project with them, and has signed agreements with neighboring agricultural uses in which it waives any claims against agricultural activities that may have an adverse impact on the proposed use in the future. Those neighbors concerns have been addressed and satisfied and they now support it. Applicant Has Satisfied All Requirements This applicant has satisfied all requirements that have been proposed by Staff. The mitigations and conditions proposed for the use permit reduce all the impacts of the project to a less than significant level. The project will have minor traffic impacts. The property has been determinedto be a clean site. The site plan minimizes the impact to agricultural land and agreements recognize the neighbors' right to farm. Revisions to the site plan have made the project compatible with uses in the area, particularly in light of the future urbanization planned within the sphere of influence of the City of Lodi. We urge approval of the negative declaration and the project tonight and will work with staff to assure that all conditions and mitigations you choose to impose are faithfully implemented. Yours very truly, STEVEN P. BELZER SPB:dtm sAclients10221-001 faroogiaislamiccenter\sjpc0421051.doc
