These church buildings cross over the proposed new lot lines. The applicant has stated that these buildings will be demolished prior to recordation of the Final Map.

Oak Trees Development Title Section 9-110.4 defines a Heritage Oak as a native oak tree that has a single-trunk diameter of 32 inches or greater measured at 4 'h feet above the average ground elevation of the tree. There are three (3) Heritage Oak trees on the property with diameters of 36 inches each. The applicant has stated that these Heritage Oak Trees will remain, and an arborist will be hired to trim them to allow room for the construction of driveways and houses, in compliance with Development Title Section 9- 1505.5. If the driveway falls within the dripline of the tree, the applicant has stated that they will use porous surfacing materials in that area pursuant to Development Title Section 9-1505.5(e) (see Site Plan dated June 27, 2005). The remaining trees on the property are fruit trees and cypress trees and will be removed as part of the project. City of Stockton The City of Stockton states that if the project requires City services, then the applicant will be required to annex to the City if contiguous to the City or sign a deferred annexation agreement if not contiguous to the City. The applicant is obtaining public sewer services from the City of Stockton but is not contiguous to the City. As a result, the applicant will be required to sign a deferred annexation agreement. Improvements will be made to San Joaquin County standards. Noise Caltrans submitted comments requesting "Fair Share" contributions and a noise study for this project. The County Public Works Department collects traffic mitigation fees that include "Fair Share" fees for Caltrans. This project is considered to be infill, which exempts it from the provisions of the County Noise Ordinance, pursuant to Development Title Sections 9-1025.9(a) and (b). In addition, 1-5 has an existing masonry wall constructed between 1-5 and the project site to provide mitigation from existing transportation noises. As a result, a separate noise study was not required. Neighborhood Opposition The Community Development Department has received two letters opposing this project. The letters include the following issues: • Increase in traffic: The County Public Works Department has determined that the amount of traffic generated by the proposed project is less than significant. • Density: The General Plan density in the R/M designation allows for 6 to 10 dwelling units per gross acre, which would permit up to 29 units for this project (2.91 gross acres x 10 dwelling units = 29 units). The applicant is proposing 23 dwelling units, which does not exceed the General Plan density. San Joaquin County PA-0500055\Protestant Episcopal Bishop Community Development Page 3
