Conditional Use Permit Pursuant to Section 9-821, a Conditional User Permit can be issued upon making the following four(4)findings: a. Consistency with the General Plan; b.

Issuance not detrimental to the general public health, safety or welfare. Open Space/Resource Conservation The objective of the Open Space/Resource Conservation General Plan Classification (OS/RC) is intended to protect extractive resources from urban development or encroachment and to provide for the production of extractive resources while protecting people, property, and the environment from the hazards caused by resource extraction. However, the policy of the General Plan is that the OS/RC property is to remain in open space uses until extraction of resources, "unless the immediate area has been committed to other uses" (emphasis added). This particular 20 acre property at the corner of Valpico and Corral Hollow is in the urban community of Tracy. It is also adjacent to existing urban areas to the north and east. These adjacent areas are residential in both the General Plan and Zone classification. Moreover, there is another church in the area and, in any event, it is extremely difficult to excavate this small area adjacent to existing residential activity. In addition, there is no quarry activity in this area at this time. Therefore, the immediate area has been committed to other uses and should be excluded from the protective provisions of Volume 1 of the General Plan regarding policies at VI - 16, Objectives 1 and 2.
