Steven G. Rau <br /> Attorney at Law <br /> 383 Orlando Dr. <br /> Cambria, CA 93428 <br /> (559) 323-8053 <br /> November 2, 2020 <br /> San Joaquin County Community Development Dept. <br /> 1810 E. Hazelton Ave. <br /> Stockton, CA 95205-5098 <br /> RE: Further Comments on Updated (2"d Re-Referral)Application for Use Permit <br /> No. PA- 1800316{Ahmed Hussein) <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen: <br /> To reiterate my prior emailed comments on this Application of August 6 and 7 and letter <br /> of August 17, 2020, on behalf of the Costamagna family and their affiliates(owners of <br /> the following APNs: 213-020-470 (Ernie Costamagna),213-020-470(EGC <br /> Investments LLQ, and 213-100-250,310&340 (Gloria Costamagna, Trustee)), my <br /> clients continue to strongly object to the further processing of this Application without <br /> the preparation and consideration of a full and complete EIR as required by CEOA. As <br /> set forth in 14 CCR Section 15064, the preparation of a draft EIR is mandated when <br /> there is substantial evidence, that a project may have a substantial impact on the <br /> environment. <br /> As previously noted, given the significant number and magnitude of several potential <br /> environmental consequences of this proposed meat processing and chicken farming <br /> operation, action predicated only upon a negative declaration Is wholly inadequate. As <br /> you are aware, negative declaration is little more than list of unsubstantiated opinions <br /> regarding the material environmental fallout of the proposed discretionary project. <br /> Numerous written objections as well as comments from both the public, PC members <br /> and even the applicant himself at the most recent hearing (08/20/2020) establish <br /> without a doubt that this project has numerous and substantial environmental <br /> consequences which cannot be"fixed" by monkeying around with details of the <br /> Application. <br /> Potential material adverse impacts on extant environmental conditions include, but are <br /> not limited to: water quality (Including drinking water contamination)air quality <br /> degradation including odors,contamination of soils with microbial pathogens and/or feed <br /> additives, noise(24/7), increased traffic(including trucks),serious and unavoidable <br /> problems with flies(Muscomorpha)and other insects,adverse effects on fish and other <br /> wildlife, unknown fallout from the proposed religious slaughter of animals on the <br /> premises apparently to be attended by numerous persons, etc. The thorough <br /> examination of all these potential impacts based an scientific and factual data Is exactly <br /> the reason we have the orderly CEQA process. <br /> Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-1800316(UP) 127 <br /> Response Letters <br />
