To protect and preserve heritage oak trees and native oak trees from development and construction activity the Community Development Department recommends the following condition: i) TREE PRESERVATION: The subdivision improvement plan shall indicate whether or not any trees will be removed. If trees are to be removed, the method of replacement shall be described, consistent with Section 9-1504.4 of the Development Title.

An Environmental Noise Analysis was prepared by Bollard & Brennan, Inc. on April 24, 2004 and the analysis determined that the proposed residences nearest to Lower Sacramento Road would be exposed to future traffic noise levels which exceed the 65 dB Ldn standard for San Joaquin County.

The concerns are discussed below. Size of Parcels: The tentative map is consistent with the requirements of Development Title Section 9- 310.3 for Rural Residential zones. The minimum lot size for this zone is 1 acre or 43, 560 square feet. All lots proposed for this project are no less than 1.0 acre in size and the average lot for the proposed project is 1.38.
