Item No. 5 PC: 3-17-88 GP-88-12/ZR-88-10 Page 5 (primarily alfalfa and onions) which may be affected by the introduction of an industrial use. It is expected that this potential conflict can be avoided by use of a buffer area bet- ween the repair facility and the crop land. Of the 74 acres involved in the proposed General Plan Amendment/ Zone Reclassification, 38 acres are classified as Clear Lake Clay and 36 acres as Jacktone Clay. The Clear Lake Clay is Class II soil when irrigated and is considered prime farm land. The Jacktone Clay is Class III when irrigated and is not con- sidered prime farm land. Conversion of the subject property to industrial uses would result in the loss of 38 acres of prime farm land to the County. This loss is considered negligible but does add to the cumulative loss of prime farm land Countywide. AIRPORT-RELATED CONCERNS: Stockton Metropolitan Airport concerns relate to access from the airport to the facility and technical aspects of the project . In order for the Aero Turbine facility to gain "through-the-fence" access to the airport property, approval will be necessary from the airport and the Federal Aviation Administration. This may be a lengthy and complex issue. The technical aspects relate to: location of the facility in relation to the runways and taxiways ( including relation to conical and horizontal surfaces associated with the airport 's airspace and operation) ; use of on-site water ponds (which are an attractant to waterfowl) ; storm water runoff and its effect on airport property; structural height require- ments, lighting, and reflective materials; and interference with radio communications. It is expected that these technical details would be addressed in detail at the site development stage. FACILITIES/SERVICES: As indicated, public water, sewer, or storm drainage services are not available to the project site. The applicant has proposed a new on-site well for domestic water and utilization of an existing irrigation well for fire protection water. Sewage disposal would be accomplished by an on-site septic system, with storm drainage by metered flow to Littlejohns Creek. These solu- tions are acceptable to the Department of Public Works and the Local Health District . ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS : The Initial Study prepared for this project on December 30, 1987 , Identified two environmental effects with the potential to be
