conversation, the City of Stockton confirmed that there has been an inquiry into potential annexation and development of the properties surrounding the church. Because the construction of a public roadway would eliminate the need for a masonry wall, the Community Development Department is recommending that the wall be temporarily deferred for a maximum of six (6) years or until residential development occurs. The 6- year deferment is recommended because the potential development surrounding the church is expected to occur within this time frame. Landscaping Development Title Section 9-1020.7 states that all areas not used for buildings, parking, driveways, walkways, or other permanent facilities shall be landscaped and a minimum ten (10) foot wide planting strip is required along adjacent streets. However, because the existing development along the State Route East Frontage Road is located closer than ten (10) feet from the ultimate right-of-way, it is recommended that a five (5) foot landscaping strip be required. The strip shall be continuous except where crossed by driveways and walkways. Because Hacienda Lane is currently not maintained by San Joaquin County, and because the applicant is not proposing access from Hacienda Lane, the Community Development Department recommends the following condition of approval(1.k. [21[aj): • A minimum ten (10) foot wide landscaped strip is required along Hacienda Lane (excluding the frontage where the existing building is located). The required landscaped strip may be temporarily deferred and the following note shall be recorded as a separate instrument prior to issuance of a building permit: o When Hacienda Lane is improved (by San Joaquin County or another party), a minimum ten (10) foot wide landscaped strip, respecting the ultimate right-of-way of Hacienda Lane shall be installed across the frontage of the project site (excluding the frontage where the existing building is located). ` Loss of Agricultural Land According to the San Joaquin Important Farmland Map (Department of Conservation), the land proposed for development is classified as Prime Farmland. This classification is given to land that is considered the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics able to sustain long term production of agricultural crops. The loss of approximately-4 acres of Prime Farmland (the remaining 1.6 acres is already developed) is considered a loss of agriculture that can be mitigated to a less than significant level by providing one of the following mitigation measures listed below: 1. By providing water supply for agriculture 2. By assisting agriculturists in developing restoration and conservation projects. f 3. By purchasing and combining smaller parcels to make agriculture more viable. 4. By conducting or funding flood plain restoration projects that benefit agriculture. 5. By developing or funding buffer zones between urban development and agricultural land. 6. By improving levees to protect agricultural land from flooding. 7. By conducting or funding erosion control projects that benefit agriculture & By clustering development of the'Project" to support efficient use of agricultural lands.
