KLEONFEL®ER Bright People.Right Solutions. Mitigation Measures: None required 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES Potentially Less Than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation In determining whether impacts on agricultural resources are significant Incorporation environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation And Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department Of Conservation. Would the project: a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared 4 pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or conflict with a Williamson Act contract? c. Involve other changes in the existing environment that, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non- 4 agricultural use? NARRATIVE ISC SI Environmental Setting The project site has historically been in industrial use, with the exception of a single- family home that exists on the northwest corner of Weber Avenue and F Street. The State's Important Farmland Map for the San Joaquin County (1998) indicates that the project site is considered "Urban and Built Up Land." The proposed site is designated for industrial development. All of the lands surrounding the project site are mapped by the state as being in the "Urban and Built Up Lands" category. There are no Williamson Act contracts on the proposed project site. Environmental Impacts The proposed project would result in the expansion and re-development of an existing industrial site; land use will remain the same except for an increase in industrial use on the project site west of F Street. There are no agricultural lands on, adjacent to, or in the vicinity of the project site, and, therefore, development of the project would not result in the loss of existing potential agricultural land or impacts on other agricultural lands or uses. Impacts to agricultural resources are considered less than significant. Level of Significance: Less than significant Mitigation Measures: None required g q 1213391ST011 R226 3-13 October 14, 2011 Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder
