Box 2089 Stockton, CA 95201 PROJECT LOCATION The Project is located in the City of Stockton (Map 1) within central San Joaquin County. The project site includes 1,459 acres located west of Interstate 5 and south of the Stockton Deep Water Ship Channel, as shown on the Vicinity Map (Map 2) and includes nearly all of Rough and Ready Island. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION This development plan is for the entire area of land named Rough and Ready Island. Two exceptions are the portion of private property on a northern section of the island and area set aside by the Navy for the Immigration and Naturalization Service on a southern section of the island (Map 2). The entire island is within the Port of Stockton. The Project Area is named Port of Stockton West Complex and is the portion of the Port located west of the San Joaquin River and south of the Deep Water Ship Channel. The area was formerly used as a military base, however, the Navy is in the final process of transferring ownership of the land to the Port of Stockton. The development plan for this project is being prepared in conjunction with the anticipated final transfer of the property with the understanding that all associated mitigation measures and the conditions of transfer will be implemented. The project area (Map 2) is a cohesive area bounded by water on all sides. The West Complex contains areas of distinct and similar land uses divided generally in the northern and southern halves of the island. The northern half is the industrial-developed area previously used by the military. The land contains blight characteristics and will be redeveloped to meet the objectives of the Port. As a means of assisting in the revitalization of this area, the Stockton Redevelopment Agency is proposing to establish a Redevelopment Project Area that will encompass the entire West Complex. The proposed Redevelopment Plan would provide the Agency with the legal authority to engage in redevelopment activities for a maximum of 30 years.
