Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report <br /> Gill Medical Center Project <br /> The Surrounding Agricultural Lands Score was determined to be 90 given that 296.37 acres of the <br /> 357.20 acers (82.97 percent) within in the LESA Zone of Influence were determined to be currently <br /> producing agricultural crops (DOC 2018) (see Table 4.4-2. LESA Zone of Influence, below, and <br /> Table 6 in Attachment A in Appendices Q. <br /> The Protected Lands Resource Score is computed similarly to the Surrounding Agricultural lands <br /> Score.The Protected Lands Resource Score accounts for Williamson Act contracted lands, publicly <br /> owned lands maintained as park, forest, or watershed resources, and lands with agricultural, <br /> wildlife habitat, open space, or other natural resource easements that restrict the conversion of <br /> such land to urban or industrial uses. The Protected Lands Resource Score was determined to be <br /> 0 given that 40.81 acres of the 357.20 acres (11.42%) within the LESA Zone of Influence were <br /> found to be under Williamson Act Contracts (San Joaquin County 2015) (see Table 7 of <br /> Attachment A in Appendices Q. ECORP also searched the California Conservation Easement <br /> Database (CCED) and California Protected Lands Database (CPAD) and found no protected natural <br /> or biological resources lands or easements within the LESA Zone of Influence. <br /> Table 4.4-2.LESA Zone of Influence <br /> Land Type LESA Envelope(acres)' LESA Zone of Influence(acres)2 <br /> Prime Farmland 0.00 13.29 <br /> Farmland of Statewide Importance 51.36 260.57 <br /> Unique Farmland 0.00 15.04 <br /> Farmland of Local Importance 4.28 7.47 <br /> Active Farmland Subtotal 55.64 296.37 <br /> Rural Residential 1.93 30.37 <br /> Semi-Agricultural and Rural Commercial Land 0.42 8.77 <br /> Urban and Built-up Land 0.43 21.69 <br /> Grand Total: 58.42 357.20 <br /> The LESA Envelope is the smallest rectangle on the Project site that can completely contain Farmland as defined <br /> under Impact 4.4-1. <br /> z The LESA Zone of Influence is a .25-mile buffer around the LESA Envelope that helps determine the Surrounding <br /> Agricultural Lands Score and Protected Lands Resource Score. <br /> Agricultural and Forestry Resources 4.4-10 October 2021 <br />
