ATTACHMENT C SPECIFIED ALTERNATIVE USES Project Charac_eristics The proposed project involves an expansion of the existing Stockton Auto Center (the existing Center is hereafter referred to as "Phase I" ) and the provision of intensive commercial and light industrial (warehouse) uses . The concept of an auto center in Stockton has been explored j in previous documents including a 1978 feasibility study pre- pared for the Stockton Community Development Department (Econom- ic Research Associates 1978) , and for Phase I (Jones and Stokes Associates 1985) . The Phase I project site is a triangular- shaped 75 . 5-acre site northwest of the proposed expansion (Phase II) project site (see Figure B-2) . As described in these previous reports , the concept of an auto center is similar to a retail shopping center that inte- grates the individual auto dealerships into an easily recognized and identified location and provides for common customer park- ing, comprehensive signing and advertising, and a common archi- tectural and landscape design. t Phase II would abut the southeastern border of the Phase I ` development. Figure B-3 is the preliminary site plan. Figure r B-4 is the preliminary tentative subdivision map. A total of five Commercial-Auto (C-A) lots (ranging from 3-13 acres) would be developed on the western portion for the site with automobile dealerships . One potential tenant is a regional recreational vehicle (RV) sales , parts , and service facility . Each dealership may contain multiple franchises . For purposes of projecting environmental impacts , a total of 11 franchises will be assumed. Space requirements and square footage (sf) projections are shown in Table B-1 . Four Commercial-Manufacturing (C-M) lots (ranging from 8-22 acres) are proposed east of the projected extension of Holman Road. Project proponents anticipate uses will include warehouse and warehouse with storefront uses (Arnaiz pers . comm. ) . EIR analysis of this use is complicated by the great flexibility of the C-M zone , which allows a broad range of uses ranging from retail commercial or office to heavy commercial and light indus- trial uses . In order to account for the varying uses , a range is considered. In general, commercial development occurs with a lower floor-to-area building coverage compared to warehouse or industrial uses. Commercial , however, generates much greater traffic impacts. As shown in Table B-1 , an estimated range of 589 , 370-1 , 178 , 730 sf is estimated for EIR purposes (see Section D, Land Use for further discussion of this zone) . -7-
