<br />PA-1800315 – Findings 1 <br />FINDINGS FOR SITE APPROVAL <br />PA-1800315 <br />VANDER SCHAAF DAIRY #3 / PROVOST & PRITCHARD / STEVE BOMMELJE <br /> <br />1. The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any <br />applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, and Special Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan <br />adopted by the County. <br /> <br /> This finding can be made because the proposed manure digester facility may be <br />conditionally permitted in the AG-40 (General Agriculture-40 acre minimum) zone with an <br />approved Site Approval application. The project is also consistent with the goals, policies, <br />standards and maps of the General Plan. The project must meet the noise ordinance <br />requirements of 65 dB at the property line. There are no Master Plans, Specific Plans, and/or <br />Special Purpose Plans in the project vicinity. <br /> <br />2. Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary <br />facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and <br />proposed roadways. <br /> <br /> This finding can be made because adequate utilities, access roads, sanitation, drainage and <br />other necessary facilities have been provided and the proposed improvements are properly <br />related to existing and proposed streets and highways. The proposed dairy digester will be <br />served by an individual well and on-site storm drainage. The amount of storm drainage <br />runoff generated by the construction of any new buildings will be contained on-site. The <br />Department of Public Works is requiring the developer to provide drainage facilities and <br />meet the requirements of San Joaquin County Development Standards to prevent the <br />increased runoff release rate of storm water from discharging onto other properties and to <br />prevent offsite sediment transport. Domestic wastewater services can be provided through <br />a septic system. <br /> <br />3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and for the intensity of development. <br /> <br /> This finding can be made because the parcel is of adequate size and shape to accommodate <br />the proposed manure digester facility and all yards, building coverage, setbacks, parking <br />areas, and other requirements of the Development Title. The site plan shows that there is <br />sufficient area for parking and circulation for the manure digester facility in compliance with <br />standards of the Development Title. <br /> <br />4. Issuance of the permit will not be significantly detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or be <br />injurious to the property or improvements of adjacent properties. <br /> <br /> This finding can be made because an Initial Study prepared for this project found no <br />potentially significant environmental impacts that could not be mitigated to a less than <br />significant level. The landowner has agreed to participate in the San Joaquin Council of <br />Governments Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan. As a Condition of <br />Approval, prior to ground disturbance, landowners proceeding with development of the <br />parcel will need to contact the San Joaquin Council of Governments regarding the <br />requirements of the Multi-Species Habitat and Open Space Plan. Additionally, the project <br />must meet the noise ordinance requirements of 65 dB at the property line. <br /> <br />
