M. Environmental Setting,Impacts,and Mitigations A. Land Use,Plans and Policies Goal 2: Guide new industrial development to locations where industrial.activities will not conflict with neighboring land uses. Policy 1: Industrial development shall be discouraged in locations where access conflicts with neighboring land uses. Policy 2: Industrial development should incorporate various design measures to minimize negative impacts on nearby land uses. Policy 3: Industrial uses near the Stockton Metropolitan Airport shall be guided by the policies of the Airport Land Use Commission. Policy 4: Commuting distances between residential concentrations and employment centers shall be minimized. Policy 5: New residential developments shall be located to avoid conflicting with existing or planned industrial uses. Policy 6: Ensure an adequate separation between sensitive land uses(residential,educational, health care)and industrial land uses to minimize land use compatibility problems, associated odors and air pollution emissions from industrial areas. Land uses adjacent to the existing and proposed landfill site are primarily agricultural and landfill uses,both of which are generally compatible. Nearby uses that would be less compatible with the proposed project include the residences approximately 1,250 to 1,700 feet to the south and east,a youth detention center and associated women's prison about 1,900 feet to the north, and the Stockton Metropolitan Airport approximately one and one-half miles to the northwest. The nearest residence would be removed under the project. The nearest remaining residence would be approximately 500 feet from the landfill expansion boundary. Approximately three other residences would be within one mile of the expanded landfill boundaries. The Northern California Youth Center living areas would be approximately 1,900 feet from the actual landfill ama and about 300 feet from the CYA land that would be used as a soil borrow area(see Figure M.A.2). The proposed project site would be relatively close to the City of Stockton,the largest population center in the County. The proposed project would not be in conformance with all provisions of the San Joaquin County Airport Land Use Commission Policy document. (Refer to Impact A.3 of the Impacts section,below.) Goal 3: Encourage,facilitate and assist the location of new industry,and the expansion of existing industry in the City of Stockton. Policy 4: Continue to support and assist the efforts of other local agencies and organizations in their efforts to attract new job-generating industrial firms to Stockton and San Joaquin County.
