INITIAL STUDY (ATTACHMEN _i.11! PA-0800108 MASJID UMAR F'AROOQI MAHMOOD PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Use Permit application for a community church with a maximum capacity of 282 people (Use Type: Religious Assembly-Community). The proposed religious assembly consists of the construction of a 13,822 square foot multipurpose building to be used as an office, prayer hall, classrooms and library. The parcel is located on the east side of State Route 99 East Frontage Road, 150 feet north of Shippee Lane, northeast of Stockton in Morada. The property has a General Plan Designation of CIG (General Commercial) and is zoned C-G (General Commercial). ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: 1. Water 1. a. The proposed project is subject to flood hazard because the project area is located in the A (100 year flood) zone. For parcels located in the A 100 year flood zone, the Department of Public Works will require that all new buildings be constructed with the finished floor at least one foot above the 100-year.flood level. 3. Plant/Animal Life 3. a. & b. The Natural Diversity Database does not list any rare, endangered, or threatened species located on or near the site. Referrals have been sent to the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG)for review. If SJCOG determines that the applicant may participate in the San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), and the f applicant chooses to participate, then the proposed project is consistent with the SJMSCP, as amended, as reflected in the conditions of project approval for this proposal. Pursuant to the Final EIR/EIS for San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), dated November 15, 2000, and certified by SJCOG on December 7, 2000, implementation of the SJMSCP is expected to reduce impacts to biological resources resulting from the proposed project to a level of less-than-significant. If the applicant chooses not to participate, then the applicant will be required to participate in a similar mechanism that provides the same level of mitigation. There are three (3) oak trees on the property. To protect and preserve the oak trees from development and construction activity, the following standards shall be applicable: • Grade changes near or within the dripline of said oak trees shall comply with the following: o No grade changes shall occur within six (6) feet of the trunk of the tree. o No grade changes shall occur that entail removing or adding more than six (6) inches of soil in the protected zone of the tree. o Any grade changes within the protected zone of the tree shall be accomplished so as to prevent soil compaction and injury to or removal of the tree's roots. • Before grading operations may commence, a minimum five (5) foot high chain link fence or other comparable protective fencing shall be installed at the outermost edge of the protected zone of each tree or group of trees (Development Title Section 9-1505.5[b]). • No trenching whatsoever shall be allowed within the protected zone of subject trees. Paving within the dripline of affected trees shall be minimized. If paving is necessary, porous materials shall be used. Initial Study -7 - Rev 5-00 I
