Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Sent via Faxao(209)468-3163 <br /> RE: PA-0700601 (GPI <br /> Dear Ms. Hatef, <br /> The San Joaquin Farm Bureau opposes a General Plan)Amendment pre-application for a 23.43 <br /> acre parcel to amend the General Plan Designation from A/G(General Agriculture)to Ili, <br /> (Limited Industrial). First, this property is located on the north side of I-205 and the <br /> surrounding area is farmland. Second, the Paradise Overcrossing is not conducive to traffic <br /> flows associated with industrial development and is not scheduled to allow freeway access any <br /> time on the near future. Thud, this would create the need for Ag mitigation in an area that <br /> should be used for mitigation —not for development. We consider this pre-application leap-frog <br /> development and would open the door to development in an area which is currently agricultural <br /> production. <br /> We respectfully request that this General Plan Amendment pre-application be denied at this time. <br /> Please keep us informed of any further actions and any information that may be provided by staff <br /> concerning this matter, <br /> Sincerely,, 'I <br /> 6 4;".'64' U-' <br /> Tom Of-vis. <br /> Program Director <br /> 3290 NORTH AD ART ROAD-(209) 931-4931 •STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA 95215 <br />
