Analysis Underlying Project The underlying project is a Site Approval application (SA-96-17)to expand an existing pipe manufacturing facility by adding outdoor manufacturing of prestressed concrete piles. The existing facilities cover the entire site. No expansion of the land area is required. Outdoor manufacturing is not permitted in the I-L zone. However, it may be permitted in the I-G zone with an approved Site Approval application. The nine- acre facility will manufacture prestressed concrete piles. Proposed buildings include an office, a lunch room, restrooms, storage silos, an equipment shed, and a tool storage shed. Other proposed items include a mixer and batch plant, a drive-over grizzly hopper, and prestress beds. Hours of operation are to be from 6:00 a-m. to 6:00 p.m. However, some deliveries will be made during the night. The remainder of the 27.9-acre site includes an existing pipe manufacturing facility, with all manufacturing contained indoors, and a tnicking facility. An expansion of the trucking facility (SA-96-20), which may be permitted in the I-L or the I-G zones, was recently approved by the Community Development Department. General Plan Policv This proposal is consistent with the General Pan's objectives and policies for General Industrial development. Specifically, the locational criteria for General Industrial differs from Limited Industrial in that General Industrial areas must be located in areas served by, or planned to be served by, full public services. This site is not currently served by public water, sewage disposal, and drainage. However, those services are in close proximity to this site. As a part of the Site Approval review, it will be determined if it is appropriate to hook up to public services or allow the facilities to continue with on-site services. Noise A letter from an adjacent resident (attached) expressed concerns regarding noise. Uses which may be permitted in the I-G zone have the potential for generating greater noise levels than uses permitted in the I-L zone. However, under either zone, noise levels are limited to the levels shown in Table 9-1025.9 of the Development Title (attached). Also, for projects abutting areas developed residentially, noise levels shall not exceed 65 dB Ldn at the property line. The Development Title also requires new industrial uses to be screened from existing and adjacent residential uses with a solid masonry wall six to seven feet in height. It is not expected that the underlying project will exceed County noise standards. Noise issues will be addressed during review of the Site Approval application. The primary noise generators at the site are trucks, forklifts, and the steel form vibrators located within existing buildings. Primary noise generators for the underlying outdoor manufacturing use will be trucks and forklifts. Hours of operation will be from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. However, the applicant indicated that approximately once a month a truck may pick up a loaded trailer before 6:00 a.m. San Joaquin County GP-96-1, ZR-96-1/Cldcastle Community Cevelccment -11-
