III. Environmental Setting,Impacts,and Mitigations <br /> A. Land Use,Plans and Policies <br /> implementation Pro -Public Facilities <br /> Measure 6: Develop a plan for the location of fire stations and branch police stations within the <br /> newly developing areas of Stockton. <br /> The City of Stockton is planning a future fire station in the vicinity of the proposed project. <br /> Police and fire calls for response to the existing landfill site are relatively minimal. Refer to <br /> Section M.C,Community Services and Utilities,for further discussion of police and fire station <br /> locations. <br /> Conservation <br /> Goal 1: Guide urban development toward vacant or under-used land within the urbanized <br /> area and direct new growth toward contiguous lands to protect agricultural lands and <br /> other open spaces used for the managed production of resources from premature <br /> urban development. <br /> Policy 1: Existing agricultural soils capable of producing a wide variety of valuable crops <br /> shall be retained in agricultural use until the time that such soils are needed for <br /> logical urban expansion. <br /> Policy 2: Support firm policies and ordinances by San Joaquin County to protect productive <br /> agricultural land. <br /> Policy 3: Consider the establishment of a land trust to acquire or otherwise provide for the <br /> long-term preservation of open space lands for(1)agricultural use and other <br /> managed production of resources and/or(2)for the preservation of natural resources. <br /> The proposed project would be a"logical"use of prime San Joaquin County agricultural land, <br /> because the landfill expansion is contiguous with the existing landfill.because the increased <br /> landfill capacity is needed by the City,and because the presence of the landfill would discourage <br /> urban development or encroachment on the surrounding agricultural areas. <br /> Goal Conserve energy resources by encouraging energy efficient building designs and <br /> transportation systems. <br /> Policy 2: d use decisions shall consider the proximity of industrial and commercial uses to <br /> major residential areas in order to reduce commuting. <br /> The proposed project would be located outside of but relatively close to the urbanized areas of <br /> the City of Stockton. . <br /> l <br /> RI.A.10 <br />
