° Provide a bus turn-out lane and a bus shelter on Eighth <br /> Street adjacent to the project if the Stockton Municipal <br /> Transit District will include this stop on a regularly <br /> scheduled route. <br /> Other Measures for Consideration <br /> ° Use only water base paints to finish buildings, fences <br /> and other structures instead of oil or solvent base paints. <br /> VEGETATION/RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES <br /> As indicated in the initial study (Appendix C-14) , the project <br /> would not result in a significant impact on vegetation. Due to past use <br /> of the site for agriculture, it is unlikely that rare or endangered <br /> species would be significantly affected. <br /> FISH AND WILDLIFE/RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES <br /> As indicated in the initial study, the project would not result in <br /> a significant impact on fish or wildlife. No rare or endangered fish or <br /> wildlife are known to make use of the site. The giant garter snake <br /> (Thamnophis couchi gigas) , California listed as threatened, is known to <br /> occur in aquatic �iabitats in San Joaquin County. However, it is one of <br /> the most aquatic of garter snakes and is confined to the immediate <br /> vicinity of permanent fresh water [18]. This type of habitat does not <br /> occur on-site. <br /> DEMOGRAPHICS <br /> EXISTING: <br /> Data from the 1980 census indicates that the Stockton Metropolitan <br /> Area had a population of 205,389. Projection for 1990 are for a <br /> population of 256,382. Stockton Subarea D which includes the site and <br /> is shown on page 4, had a 1980 population of 41,600. Subarea D <br /> projections for 1990 are for a population of 45,070. The average <br /> household in Subarea D2 had a population of 3.22 and 1990 projections <br /> are for 3.10 [11]. <br /> The Land Use Element for the City of Stockton points out that <br /> historically, the Stockton Metropolitan Area 's growth has been moderate <br /> and this growth rate is expected to continue. Geographically, this <br /> growth has not been distributed evenly throughout Stockton. The trend <br /> has been for a substantial number of Stockton residents moving from <br /> areas south of the Calaveras River to the area north of the river. For <br /> example, in 1960, 14.7% of the population in the Stockton Metropolitan <br /> Area lived north of the river; whereas, in 1980, 42.2% lived north of <br /> the river. This trend is expected to continue for some time [1]. <br /> 42 <br />
