SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY V. •.o j: 1 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND BUILDING INSPECTION X 1810 E- HAZELTON AVE., STOCKTON, CA 95205 CHET DAVISSON P PLANNING PHONE: 209/468-3120 wector BUILDING PHONE: 209/468.3123 JERRY HERZICK Deputy Director May 11 , 1988 TOM WALKER Deputy Director MEMORANDUM TO: Development Committee FROM: Planning Division SUBJECT: Pre-Application Conference for General Plan Pre-Application No. GP-88-29 of Douglas H. Winn ------------------------------------------------------------------ Project Description: The proposed project is to amend the General Plan designation of three contiguous parcels totaling 0 . 728 acres from Residential Low Density to Limited Industrial. The applicant is seeking this amendment in order to legally continue to utilize the property for the truck parking portion of his trucking operation. The present General Plan designation and zoning does , not permit this type of use, and the property is currently under enforcement pro- ceedings. The project site is located in the Intermediate Center of Lockeford as shown on the General Plan on the southwest corner of Cotton and Hammond Streets. South of the site is the Lockeford elementary school, and adjacent to the site on the west is a day care center. The property has been the subject of other General Plan Map Amend- ments in the last several years. In 1980 the General Plan desig- nation was changed from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential. In 1986 the designation was changed back to Low Density Residential. Comments: Though the southwestern portion of the site is adjacent at once corner to a small area that is designated Limited Industrial, this designation appears to be reflecting historic uses on the property, rather than being based on sound planning principles. This project constitutes an intrusion of industrial-type uses into an established residential area. Land use conflicts will occur between the industrial uses and the residential uses, the adjacent day care center, and the elementary school to the south. The underlying project (truck parking) will also present health and safety hazards for the day care center, elementary school, and nearby residents. This use will create noise, and fumes, and will interfere with the day to day operations of the day care center.
