PC: 6-3-93 GP-93-2/ZR-93-2 STAFF ANALYSIS BACKGROUND: This site is under Williamson Act Contract. A Notice of Nonemewal was accepted by the Board of Supervisors on January 14, 1986, and became effective on March 1, 1986. The Contract will expire on March 1, 1996. On February 23, 1993, the applicant submitted this General Plan Amendment and a request for Zone Reclassification from AG-40 to RL-U. However, because the RL-U zone is not consistent with the Williamson Act Contract, the Zone Reclassification to RL-U was withdrawn. This Zone Reclassification to AU-20 is being processed by staff. AU-20 is a consistent holding zone within the Residential Low Density General Plan designation. This site is under Williamson Act Contract. A Notice of Nonrenewal has been filed, and the contract will expire in three years (Board Resolution 86-36). Development of the property cannot occur until the contract expires and full urban services are available. GENERAL PLAN CONSIDERATIONS: Residential Policies: The objectives in the General Plan regarding residential development are to promote quality living environments for County residents and to provide a variety of living environments. The General Plan contains nine policies to promote those objectives. This project is consistent with all of those policies. Roadways Policv No. 8: Roadways Policy No. 8 of the General Plan states that the County shall maintain a Level of Service (LOS) no lower than 'D' at all intersections and on State highways. Because Caltrans indicated that this project might result in LOS 'E', a time travel line study was required for mainline State Route 12188 through.Lockeford. Flecker Associates prepared a traffic study with direction from Caltrans and the Department of Public Works. That study concluded that this project will not result in LOS worse than 'D' on State Route 12/88 or overall LOS worse than 'D' on the intersections of affected County roads and State Route 12/88. This project is therefore consistent with Roadways Policy No. 8. General Plan Policies Specific to Lockeford: Policy No. 1 states that'No significant expansion of the growth area for the Lockeford community shall occur until solutions to the congestion on State Route 12/88 have been developed and implemented.' The community of Lockeford, including vacant land designated for development, contains approximately 812 acres. This proposal will increase that area by 2.3 percent and is not al reoresents the 19 acres of ld ast considered to be e Route 12/8 and the railroadn. and so bounded by Stat the extension of thelapproved but notyet -7-
