SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY r Z DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND BUILDING INSPECTION 1810 E. HAZELTON AVE., STOCKTON, CA 95205 CHET DAVISSON PLANNING PHONE: 209/944-3722 Director BUILDING PHONE: 209/944-3701 JERRY HERZICK Deputy Director November 10 , 19$7 TOM WALKER Deputy Director MEMORANDUM TO: Development Committee FROM: Bill Factor, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Pre-Application Conference for General Plan Amendment No. GP-88-15 , Zone Reclassification No. ZR-88-12 , & Williamson Act Cancellation No. WC-88-3 --------------------------------------------------------------- The pre-application conference concerns a proposed General Plan Map Amendment from Agriculture and Low Density Residential to Low, Medium, and High Density Residential; and accompanying re- classification request from GA-40 to R1-4 , R-2 , & R-4 ; and a Williamson Act cancellation request for the 62 acres under consideration. The Planning Division has reviewed the above projects and offers the following comments : Williamson Act Cancellation - Williamson Act property may be can- celled either under one of two sets of findings . Under the first set of findings, the Board of Supervisors must find that the pro- posed alternative use of the property is consistent with the General Plan. Under the second set of findings, there is no General Plan consistency requirement. Instead, the Board must find that the cancellation is in the public interest and that there is no proxi- mate noncontracted land, both available and suitable, that could accommodate the proposed use. Because the proposed General Plan Amendment under the first set of findings would have to be in place before the cancellation request is acted on by the Board, and because the applicant wishes to obtain tentative Williamson Act cancellation prior to the end of the year, staff recommends that the applicant do the following: 1 . Request that the Board take action on the cancellation request on the basis of the second set of findings. 2 . Provide documentation or evidence to the Board in support of the finding that there is no proximate noncontracted land, both available and suitable, that could accommodate the pro- posed use.
