From the information provided, staff has determined that the proposed project is located within the Secondary Zone of the Legal Delta. Actions for approval or denial of projects in the Secondary Zone are not subject to appeal to the Commission. However, the analysis for the proposed project should address any potential impacts to the resources of the Primary Zone resulting from activities in the Secondary Zone. The Delta Protection Act (Act) was enacted in 1992 in recognition of the increasing threats to the resources of the Primary Zone of the Delta from urban and suburban encroachment having the potential to impact agriculture, wildlife habitat, and recreation uses. Pursuant to the Act, a Management Plan was completed and adopted by the Commission in 1995. For your information and reference, both the Act and the Management Plan are available from the Commission's website, www.delta.ca.gov. The Management Plan sets out findings, policies, and recommendations resulting from background studies in the areas of environment, utilities and infrastructure, land use, agriculture, water, recreation and access, levees, and marine patrol/boater education/ safety programs. As mandated by the Act, the policies of the Management Plan are incorporated in the General Plans of local entities having jurisdiction within the Primary Zone, including San Joaquin County. The policies and recommendations from the Management Plan that are relevant to this project include, but are not limited to, the following: Land Use • Policy : New residential, recreational, commercial, or industrial development shall ensure that appropriate buffer areas are provided by those proposing new development to prevent conflicts between any proposed use and existing agricultural use. Buffers shall adequately protect integrity of land for existing and future
