April 23, 2023 Community Development Department 1810 Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 RE:Application#PA-2100238(UP) This petition is in opposition to the development at 12925 W. Bethany Road as proposed. The conditional use permit states the project will be built in two Phases with a 3,000 sq ft dwelling, a 12,000 sq ft. temple building, and a 12,000 sq ft. assembly hall at full build out. The size of this proposed development will have a significant negative impact on the surrounding farms and residents.The following mitigation measures are needed to address our concerns: Traffic issues: W. Bethany Road and the access roads of Lammers and Naglee are not adequate to handle the increased traffic from this development. This facility is proposed to be open until 9pm, 7 days/week, 365 days/year with up to 1,000 attendees daily. According to the CHP, there have been 13 accidents on Naglee Road,and 11 on Bethany Road in the last 2 years.These rural,two lane country roads, with irrigation ditches on one or both sides were never meant to handle the amount of traffic we are now seeing, and this development will only make it worse.All of these mitigation measures and studies should be paid for by the developer and completed before Phase 1 to mitigate the negative impact on surrounding properties. • The size of the buildings (total 17,400 sq ft.)and number of attendees (490) in the Willdan Engineering Final Traffic Impact Study do not match what has been proposed on the conditional use permit. A full Engineering and Traffic Survey should be required to adequately analyze the traffic impact to W. Bethany, Lammers and Naglee Roads. • The traffic study was done on a Thursday, from 7-9am and 4-6pm.The E&TS should be for the full 24 hour period. • W. Bethany Road will need to be widened to create a center turn lane into the proposed development. • Speed limits on all access roads should be reduced to no more than 35 mph. • The intersection at Naglee and Bethany is already inadequate to handle the existing traffic and will need to be widened to create a left turn lane and relocation of the irrigation ditches on either side. • This site is not accessible by public transportation. There are no sidewalks or bike lanes that allow safe pedestrian or bicycle access.The roads are narrow and there are no shoulders to pull over.Any backup would prevent Emergency vehicles from accessing residential homes or responding to traffic accidents. • Double yellow lines will be needed to prevent passing and allow residents to access their properties without the risk of accidents. • W. Bethany, Lammers, and Naglee Roads all need to be posted for "No Stopping at Any Time" and "No Parking"for a minimum distance of%2 mile. • In addition to the stoplight at the Auto Mall/Naglee Road intersection, the intersection at Larch/Naglee Road needs to be a three-way stop as does the intersection of Naglee/Bethany Roads.
