Recommendations <br /> Action <br /> It is recommended that the Planning Commission: <br /> 1. Approve the Negative Declaration; and <br /> 2. Approve Quarry Excavation Application No. QX-98-1, including the Excavation/Reclamation <br /> Plan and Text (Attachment A), subject to the Findings and Conditions of Approval contained <br /> in the staff report. <br /> Findings <br /> 1. The proposal is for the removal of regionally significant or substantial deposits of mineral <br /> resources and not for the removal of prime farmland. <br /> • This Finding can be made because the project site is located within an area with <br /> substantial mineral resource deposits and because the site will be returned to <br /> agricultural uses following reclamation of the excavated areas of the project site. <br /> 2. The proposed reclamation of the property upon completion of the excavation will leave the <br /> property in a condition that will allow its reuse. <br /> • This Finding can be made because, after the hillside topography is excavated, the <br /> property will be leveled and the property put back into agricultural production. <br /> 3. Issuance of the permit shall not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare <br /> or be injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity. <br /> • This Finding can be made because all of the potentially significant, adverse <br /> environmental impacts associated with the project can be mitigated to less than <br /> significant levels by the Conditions of Approval. <br /> San Joaquin County - <br /> Community Development QX-98-1\Moffat <br /> Page 8 <br />
