PA-1900284 – Findings 1 FINDINGS FOR SITE APPROVAL PA-1900284 MUHAMMAD BILAL 1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan and any other applicable plan adopted by the County.  This finding can be made because the Gasoline Sales and Service - Combination and Eating Establishment - Convenience use types are consistent with the General Plan’s General Commercial (C/G) designation, and in turn may, be conditionally permitted with a Site Approval application in the General Commercial (C-G) zone. The proposed gasoline station and restaurant are consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, and there are no Master Plans or Special Purpose Plan applicable to this site. 2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways.  This finding can be made because the necessary facilities and improvements are existing or proposed. The applicant has supplied will-serve letters from the City of Stockton for public sanitary sewer service, the California Water Company for public water supply, and East Stockton Storm for storm drainage. As a Condition of Approval, the applicant must comply with the Underground Storage Tank Program through the Environmental Health Department for the proposed underground storage tanks. Additionally, as a condition of approval, the Community Development Department will require a minimum 10 foot landscaped strip respecting the ultimate right-of-way of East Fremont Street and North Oro Avenue. As a result, the project will improve the aesthetics of the general vicinity. 3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development.  This finding can be made because the 0.69-acre parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the proposed fuel station and convenience store and all necessary improvements. The access driveways meet the 25 foot minimum requirement for two-way access, and the site plan shows that there is sufficient area for parking and circulation, in compliance with standards of the Development Title. In addition, a Traffic Impact Analysis completed by KD Anderson on September 23, 2020, found that there were no traffic issues as a result of the project, as long as project traffic accessing the site directly from State Route 26 was limited to right in/right out movements. The Department of Public Works has incorporated this recommendation into their recommended Conditions of Approval, and is requiring signage and a channelized raised median island. These measures will ensure the project will not create a traffic operational issue. 4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or be injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties.  This finding can be made because the Initial Study prepared for the project found no potentially significant environmental impacts that could not be mitigated to a less than significant level. As noted above, a Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for the project, and the Department of Public Works has incorporated recommendations from the report into their recommended conditions of approval, so that there will not be traffic operational issues associated with project traffic. The applicant has also chosen to participate in San Joaquin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP) through the San Joaquin Council of Governments.
