PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MARCH 17, 1988 5 . GENERAL PLAN MAP AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. GP-88-12 AND ZONE RECLASSIFICATION APPLICATION NO. ZR-88-10 OF L. ELWOOD AND PATRICIA COOPER (C/O HOWARD L. SELIGMAN) to amend the General Plan Land Use/Circulation Map for 74 acres from Agriculture to General Industrial and to change the zoning designation from GA-40 to M-1 or M-2. Located on the west side of State Route 99 between Arch-Airport Road and French Camp Road and adjacent to the Stockton Metro Airport main runway, south of Stockton. (Supervisorial District 1 ) Senior Planner Dom De La Torre introduced a staff report into the record. He reported that the Airport Manager contacted staff yester- day and said he had no objection to Phase I of the project if it was for airport use only, and that it meets the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) . PUBLIC HEARING OPENED PROPONENTS: Howard Seligman, Attorney, 4505 Precissi Lane, was present for this item. He said that the following representatives were also present: Mike Quartaroli, Engineer; Dave Clayton, Aero Turbine; and Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, the property owners. In answer to a question, Mr. Seligman said that the Coopers signed a Notice of Nonrenewal on the property and this is to expire in six years. He said that the Aero Turbine Company plans to relocate their business onto the subject property in order to be near the airport. This property offers the best opportuity for expansion and con- tinuation of its business specialization. They want to include in their operation an air frame repair service. They will meet FAA regu- lations. In answer to further questions, Mr. Seligman said that aircraft will come directly to the proposed site. The operation will ultimately employe up to 250 persons. The M-2 zoning will cover approximately 15 acres. Mr. Seligman commented that the Airport management is strongly supportive of this type of use. It provides an additional buffer to the airport and its overall utilization. The project developers are prepared to enter into a development agreement for the 74 acres to specify uses that are compatible with the airport and its related uses. He noted that the City of Stockton recommended denial. He said they did not recognize the use that is being contemplated and would be adjunct to, and beneficial, to the community and the airport. Mr. Seligman said they will meet the requirements of the Local Health District. The development agreement will be for the roadway expansion and they will pay their pro-rata share. The agreement will limit the uses to those compatible with and supported, essentially, by the Metropolitan Airport. It would not allow any M-2 uses that would conflict with the airport.
