The Redevelopment Plan will primarily be a financial tool, and will not propose land use, building intensity, or infrastructure changes other than those allowed by the City of Stockton General Plan. The southern half of the island is primarily vacant, underutilized land that is proposed for industrial and commercial activities. This area is in need of infrastructure improvements including, but not limited to, storm drainage, roadway reconstruction and widening for industrial traffic, fire protection, potable water and sewer service. Three major distinctions in the project are associated with water, land use, and maritime activities. This document will examine the water activities at a project level of detail. These include, but are not limited to, dredging, placement of dredged materials, and shipping channel operations. This document will examine the maritime and land use actions at a program level of detail. It is anticipated that this document will adequately examine the maritime and land use actions and their potential impacts to a degree that will allow subsequent CEQA documentation to be tiered from this EIR. The City of Stockton General Plan land use diagram currently designates the entire Project Area as Institutional. The City's Zoning Ordinance currently designates the entire Project Area as Public Lands (P-L). As part of the proposed project the land use diagram of the General Plan will be revised to show an industrial land use designation for the Project Area. In addition, the Project Area will be rezoned from a P-L zoning district to a Port (PT) zoning district. The PT zoning district is applied to areas of the City of Stockton that are operated by "port districts" as formed under the Harbors and Navigation Code (Section 6210 et seq.) for the operation of port facilities, including wharves, dockage, warehousing, and related port facilities. The PT zoning district also allows a full range of industrial and commercial activities. The PT zoning district is consistent with the industrial land use designation of the General Plan. Preliminary Project Objectives The following is a list of preliminary project objectives: • To develop the industrial, commercial, and maritime use of the former military base under the authority of the Port to the maximum regional economic value. • To amend the City's General Plan Map to designate the Project Area as Industrial and rezone the area to the City's "Port District"zoning designation. • To establish a Redevelopment Project Area that will include the entire Port of Stockton West Complex. • To provide useful information for regional planning of infrastructure and public services related to industrial, commercial, and maritime development. • To coordinate processing of the environmental, land use, and maritime processes.
