Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project 4.13.3.2 Methods of Analysis Existing and approved but not yet constructed land use in the Project vicinity was evaluated to determine if Project implementation would physically divide an established community. In addition, all applicable land use plans, policies and/or regulations adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the Project for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect were reviewed to determine if Project consistency would ensure impact avoidance. If a significant environmental effect could occur due to Project inconsistency, mitigation is recommended to reduce the impact to less than significant. It should be noted that Project consistency with the San Joaquin County Agriculture Mitigation Ordinance and Right to Farm Ordinance is presented in draft EIR Section 4.4 Agriculture and Forestry Resources. 4.13.3.3 Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures Impact 4.13-1: The proposed project could physically divide an established community. Impact Determination: No Impact Threshold: Result in a development pattern that physically divides or otherwise eliminates existing or potential transportation connection between communities. The 42.4-acre Project site is located approximately one mile north of the current City of Stockton boundary in a primarily agricultural portion of unincorporated San Joaquin County. The Project is situated between West Lane on the west and Ham Lane on the east and would be accessed from these adjacent roads. While not adjacent to Eight Mile Road, an existing Eight Mile Road southern access driveway would be retained as part of the Project. The site is currently in agricultural production and while it does support unimproved roads that facilitate onsite agricultural activities, the Project site does not serve as an access corridor and proposed development would not physically divide an established community. There would be no impact. Impact 4.13-2: The proposed project could conflict with applicable land use plans, policies or regulations adopted to avoid or mitigate an environmental effect. Impact Determination: less than significant Threshold: Conflict with an applicable land use plan,policy, or regulation prepared by an agency with jurisdiction over the project and adopted to avoid or mitigate an environmental effect. Several General Plan land use policies and other adopted regulations apply to the Project. Consistent with CEQA, not every plan, policy or regulation that could apply to the project is included here. Rather, the analysis focuses on identifying land use plans, policies, and regulations that were adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. These policies and regulations are presented below followed by a Project consistency analysis. If the Project is found inconsistent with a policy adopted for the purpose of mitigating an environmental effect, appropriate mitigation is recommended. Land Use and Planning 4.13-6 October 2021
