c-*" SUBJECT: PREAPPLICATION FOR ZONE RECLASSIFICATION OF H. & J. KEESEE, ET AL. --------------------------------------------------------------- I. Need for Site for C-1 Purposes: The proposed use of teh Keesee parcel by the prospective purchaser, Dr. and Mrs. Corwin Jones, if for his own dental office and other professional offices, some of which are proposed to be leased to his associates. Extensive research has been conducted and in this particular general area, which serves his present patients, we habe been unable to located any available sites which are properly zoned and would be appropriate for a Dental and Professional Office. II. Proposed Project: The proposed project would not create any new additional strip development along Hammer Lane but would only extend. a Re-Zoned Island which was approved previously at the Southwest corner of Hammer Lane and Pershing Avenue. III. Proposed Project Not Intrusion Into Residential Uses: The Hammer Lane Arterial corridor is now practically all• commercial frontage with the exception of this small last remaing area of residential use, except for those residential areas to the West which are separated from Hammer Lane by frontage roads and to the East of El Dorado Street which areas only have access through intersecting residential streets. The "Keesee Parcel" abutting on Hammer Lane (now zoned R-1 ) has no other access to any street except Hammer Lane and it is hard to imagine that any single family residence would be encouraged to be built there with the prospect of children playing near the heavy traffic flow of Hammer Lane. IV. Access Off Hammer Lane: Any neccessary access off Hammer Lane from the proposed professional office would not create any more of a problem than would the use of the parcel for a single family residence. The present plan for Hammer Lane, we understand, is for a center divider nedian in this area and the proposed development would call for ingress only by a right turn going East on Hammer Lane and egress by right turn only back onto the East flow of Hammer. V. Additional Considerations : A. In our discussions with the Stockton Traffic Engineer ' s Department we have been advised that present plans on Pershing call for widening of Pershing between Joan Avenue and Hammer Lane by an additional 15 feet on the East side of Pershing between Joan Avenue and Hammer Lane in order to create a badly needed right turn only land with restricted access for 200 feet South from Hammer Larre from the adjacent abutting properties . This would mean that two of the three present single family residences located between Joan Avenue and Hammer Lane would become land locked.
