5.6 LAND USE <br /> 5.6.1.3 Current Land Use Plans for the Study Area <br /> Plans and policies governing physical development with the project study area include the <br /> City of Lodi General Plan2 and City of Lodi Title 17 Zoning, and the San Joaquin County <br /> General Plan and San Joaquin County Title 9 Zoning,the San Joaquin County Multi-Species <br /> Habitat Conservation and Open-Space Plan,and the San Joaquin County Council of <br /> Governments Airport Land Use Plan(ALUP). Project conformity with current land use <br /> plans,policies and regulations is addressed in Sections 5.6.2.2.2 and 5.6.2.3 (Table 5.6-6). <br /> 5.6.1.3.1 General Plan Land Use Designations within the Study Area <br /> Land use provisions included in every California city and county general plan (California <br /> State Planning Law,Government Code$65302 et seq.) reflect the goals and policies that <br /> guide the physical development of land in their jurisdiction. For the purposes of this AFC, <br /> because the power plant site is located on land that is owned and incorporated by the City <br /> of Lodi that is surrounded by unincorporated San Joaquin County land,the project is <br /> analyzed in terms of its conformity with the land use designations and policies described in <br /> both the City of Lodi and San Joaquin County general plans.Figure 5.6-3 shows the General <br /> Plan Designations within one mile of the project site. <br /> The project site is located in the City of Lodi. The power plant site and construction parking <br /> and laydown areas are designated by the City of Lodi as Public/Quasi-Public (City of <br /> Lodi,2008a). The gas pipeline route is located on land that is designated Public/ <br /> Quasi-Public by the City of Lodi (City of Lodi,2008a),and also as General Agriculture by <br /> San Joaquin County (San Joaquin County,2008). Land adjacent to and on the north side of <br /> the proposed gas pipeline route is designated General Agriculture and Public by the <br /> County. Nearly all land within approximately 3 miles of the power plant site and gas <br /> pipeline alignment is County-designated General Agriculture. Table 5.6-3 lists the City and <br /> County General Plan designations and allowable uses within one mile of the project sites. <br /> TABLE 5.6-3 <br /> General Plan Land Use Designations and Allowable Uses Within a 1-mile Radius of the Project <br /> Land Use Designation Allowable Uses <br /> City of Lodi—Applicable to the Project Site, Laydown Areas,and a Portion of the Natural Gas Line <br /> Public/Quasi-Public Provides for government-owned facilities, public and private schools, <br /> and quasi-public uses such as hospitals and churches.The floor area <br /> ratio(FAR)shall not exceed 0.50(City of Lodi, 1991). <br /> San Joaquin County—Applicable to Natural Gas Pipeline <br /> General Agriculture Areas generally committed to agriculture with viable commercial <br /> agricultural enterprises that require large land areas to efficiently <br /> produce their crops(San Joaquin County, 1992).Typical uses include <br /> crop production,feed and grain storage and sales, aerial crop spraying, <br /> and animal raising and sales.Additional activities such as resource <br /> recovery,dairy and canning operations, stockyards, and animal feedlots <br /> and sale yards require permits(San Joaquin County,2002). <br /> Public Major institutional facilities, including schools(San Joaquin <br /> County, 1992). <br /> Sources: City of Lodi, 1991, 2008a; San Joaquin County, 1992, 2002, 2008. <br /> 2 The City of Lodi General Plan is currently being updated;however,a draft document is not yet available(City of Lodi,2007). <br /> SAC/371322/082340004(LEC_5.6_LAND_USE.DOC) 5.6-9 <br />
