Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project Timing/Implementation: Prior to construction Monitoring/Enforcement:County of San Joaquin Planning/Development Services Division Impact 4.4-2: The proposed project would conflict with current zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract. Impact Determination: less than significant Threshold: Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract. The Project site is designated General Agricultural (A/G) by the San Joaquin County 2035 General Plan (San Joaquin County 2016), and AG-40 by Title 9 of County Development Title (San Joaquin County 2019). According to the San Joaquin County Development Title, the AG Zone is established to preserve agricultural lands for the continuation of commercial agriculture enterprises. Minimum parcel sizes within the AG Zone are 20, 40, 80 or 160 acres, as specified by the precise zoning.The precise Development Title zone for the Project site parcels is AG-40. The Project applicant submitted Site Approval Application No. PA-1900240 to the County to construct the Project in two (2) phases over ten (10)years.After review of the Site Approval Application, County staff determined the principal proposed use of the property is for a hospital and medical center campus and is properly classified under the Use Type Public Services- Essential. Because the Project is consistent with the Public Services-Essential use type it is a conditionally permitted use within the General Agricultural AG-40 zone and a Site Approval application is the appropriate requested entitlement for the Project (no Development Title zone reclassification is required). As described in Section 4.4.2.2 (Williamson Act subsection), the Project site was under a Williamson Act Contract from 1972-1994. However, the Project has not been under a Contract since 1994, and is not currently under one.The DOC also maintains mapping for Williamson Act contracts by county.As shown on the map for San Joaquin County, the site is not currently subject to a Williamson Act contract (San Joaquin County 2015).Therefore, the Project would result in a less than significant impact to Williamson Act contract lands or land zoned for agricultural use. Mitigation Measures None required. Impact 4.4-3: The proposed project would conflict with current zoning for forest use. Impact Determination:no impact Threshold. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land(as defined in Public Resources Code section 72220(g)), timberland(as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 57 704(g)). The Project site is zone AG-40 and does not contain any forest land.There would be no impact. Agricultural and Forestry Resources 4.4-13 October 2021
