Dear Ms. Stowers: SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application for PA-1300116 (MS). This includes a Minor Subdivision application to subdivide an existing forty acre parcel into one ten-acre parcel and a thirty-acre designated remainder parcel. The parcels are being created under Development Title Section 9-610.3(e)- Parcels For Dwellings on Same Lot. The project site is located on the south side of Turner Road, 350 feet east of Thornton Road, west of Lodi (APN/Address: 025-110- 12; 6454 W. Turner Road, Lodi). San Joaquin County is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the Califomia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. At this time the applicant is requesting a Minor Subdivision with no ground disturbance. Any future structures that require ground disturbance on this or subsequent divided parcels will be subject to participate in the SJMSCP and should be resubmitted to this agency. Current or future owners of this—or subdivided properties should be made aware of the conditions that are placed by the SJMSCP on future development on the created parcels. This project is subject to the SJMSCP and is located within the unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-rase review.
