ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in roadway improvements needed to provide access to the project site. Improvements to project site access points are shown in the proposed project site plan presented in Figure 2 and project site frontage striping plan presented in Figure 3. These improvements have been previously described in more detail in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study.
Figure 21 and Figure 22 display the resulting EPAP Plus Project intersection lane geometrics for each study intersection. The resulting number of travel lanes assumed for study roadway segments and daily traffic volumes are shown in Table 17.
INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 18 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study intersection under EPAP Plus Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, LOS at 11 of the 15 study intersections would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements would be needed at these 11 intersections to achieve acceptable LOS. The following describes the four study intersections that would operate at unacceptable LOS under EPAP Plus Project conditions.
3. Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS F with 109.3 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F with 145.8 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. Compared to EPAP No Project Conditions, the projectrelated increase in delay would be greater than five seconds during either the a.m. peak hour or the p.m. peak hour. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant. The following improvement is recommended to improve operating conditions to acceptable LOS and reduce the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies to a less than significant level:
Split the northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane into an exclusive northeastbound through lane and a “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound rightturn lane.
The above improvement would be consistent with the recommended improvement (described below) for Roadway Segment 105, Mariposa Road Between SR 99 and 8th Street/Farmington Road, to widen the portions of this roadway segment which are one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction. The added southeastbound departure lane on Mariposa Road would serve vehicles departing the “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound right-turn lane at this intersection.
Attachment F
859
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 73 July 9, 2021
The existing northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane is approximately 23 to 24 feet wide and the single southwestbound departure lane is approximately 21 to 22 feet wide. As a result, the existing pavement width on the southwest leg of this intersection is considered wide enough to accommodate the above improvement.

As shown in Table 19, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS D with 40.4 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS E with 73.2 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. As described in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, LOS D and E at this intersection are considered acceptable.
This recommended improvement is the same as the improvement recommended at this intersection for EPAP No Project conditions.
9. Mariposa Road & Carpenter Road
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS A with 3.7 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F with 63.9 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. Compared to EPAP No Project Conditions, the project-related increase in delay would be greater than five seconds during either the a.m. peak hour or the p.m. peak hour. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant. The following improvement is recommended to improve operating conditions to acceptable LOS and reduce the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies to a less than significant level:
Widen the northeastbound Carpenter Road approach. The approach is currently a single-lane approach. The approach should be widened to include an exclusive northeastbound-to northwestbound left-turn lane, and a combined through/right-turn lane.
As shown in Table 19, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS A with 2.9 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS D with 32.7 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. LOS A and D are considered acceptable.
12. Arch-Airport Road & Qantas Lane
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS E with 61.7 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C with 28.4 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS E is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under EPAP No Project conditions, and the project-related change in delay would not be greater than a five second increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.

RAMP JUNCTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Figure 23 and Figure 24 present the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the ramp junctions under EPAP Plus Project conditions. Table 21 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study ramp junction under EPAP Plus Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, LOS at 10 of the 13 study ramp junctions would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements would be needed on these 10 ramp junctions to achieve acceptable LOS. The following are the three ramp junctions that would experience unacceptable LOS. 201. SR 99 Southbound Weave Area Between Fremont Street and Crosstown Freeway Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this ramp junction would operate at LOS F during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under EPAP No Project conditions, and the project-related change in freeway and ramp volumes would not be greater than a five percent increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.
205. SR 99 at Golden Gate Avenue Northbound On-Ramp Merge Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this ramp junction would operate at LOS C during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under EPAP No Project conditions, and the project-related change in freeway and ramp volumes would not be greater than a five percent increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.

INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR TRANSIT
Implementation of the proposed Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in an increase in demand for public transit service. Currently, there is limited direct public transit service to the vicinity of the project site, and the development of urban uses would result in an increase in demand. The frequency and proximity of future transit service is not known at this time and, as a result, demand for transit cannot be quantified. However, it is expected that SJRTD can accommodate the additional passengers the project would generate. This is considered a less-thansignificant impact. No mitigation measures are required
INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in an increase in demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. As noted in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study, the proposed project includes sidewalks along the project site frontage of Mariposa Road.
Because sidewalks are not present along the Mariposa Road frontage of nearby properties, the sidewalks along the Mariposa Industrial Park project site frontage would be discontinuous in the near-term. In the longer-term, sidewalks along the project site frontage would incrementally improve the safety and convenience of bicycle and pedestrian travel along Mariposa Road. The City General Plan includes widening of Mariposa Road to four lanes in the future, and the Mariposa Industrial Park project site frontage improvements would contribute to a more continuous system of bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Mariposa Road. Therefore, the increase in demand for facilities is considered a less-than-significant impact. No mitigation measures would be required.

CUMULATIVE NO PROJECT CONDITIONS
The Cumulative No Project condition represents a long-term future background condition.
Development of approved and planned land uses and roadway improvements are assumed in this condition. The Cumulative No Project condition, therefore, serves as the baseline condition used to assess the significance of long-term project-related traffic effects.
The Cumulative No Project condition does not include development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project as proposed. Consistent with the approach described in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (City of Stockton 2003), this scenario serves as baseline condition for determining project-related impacts, and the traffic analysis of this condition assumes land uses on the project site consistent with the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a).
TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
As previously described in the Travel Forecasting section of this traffic impact study, the City of Stockton Travel Demand Model (City of Stockton 2018b) was used to develop forecasts of background increases in traffic volumes under Cumulative No Project conditions. The increases in traffic volumes reflect development of land uses consistent with approved land use designations.
The model was modified in the vicinity of the project site to add detail to the model and more accurately represent how land uses are provided access to the roadway network. Minor changes were also made to land uses in the model to reflect existing and planned development.
Application of the methods described in the Travel Forecasting section results in the daily traffic volumes presented in Table 22.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The analysis of Cumulative No Project conditions assumes roadway improvements consistent with the long-term future context. These include improvements from the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018b), and the Draft Environmental Impact Report - Mariposa Lakes Specific Plan - State Clearinghouse #2006022035 (City of Stockton 2007). The improvements include:
widening of Mariposa Road northwest of Carpenter Road to six lanes, widening of Mariposa Road southeast of Carpenter Road to four lanes, and widening of SR 99 from north of the Crosstown Freeway to south of Arch Road to eight lanes.
The resulting number of travel lanes assumed for study roadway segments are shown in Table

ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 22 presents a summary of LOS on the 12 study roadway segments under Cumulative No Project conditions. Ten of the roadway segments would operate at acceptable LOS D or better.
No improvements are needed on these 10 roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS. The following two roadway segments would operate at unacceptable LOS. 104. SR 99 Between Golden Gate Avenue and Mariposa Road Under Cumulative No Project condition, this roadway segment would operate at LOS E. LOS E is considered unacceptable. This roadway segment is already assumed to be eight lanes wide under Cumulative conditions. In the Transportation Concept Report State Route 99 (California Department of Transportation 2017), Caltrans describes the eight-lane width as the conceptual facility width, and this is considered to be the maximum feasible size in this traffic impact study.
Therefore, improvements are not recommended.
111. Arch-Airport Road, Between Qantas Lane and SR 99
Under Cumulative No Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. LOS F is considered unacceptable. The following improvement is recommended to improve LOS on this roadway segment:
Widen this roadway segment from six lanes to eight lanes.
Implementing this recommended improvement would result in this roadway segment operating at LOS E. This LOS is considered unacceptable. However, eight lanes is considered to be the maximum feasible width for this roadway segment. A summary of LOS with recommended improvements is presented in Table 23.

CUMULATIVE PLUS PROJECT IMPACTS
The analysis of Cumulative Plus Project conditions describes long-term traffic operations in the year 2040 assuming development of the proposed project. Comparing traffic operation under this condition to traffic operations under Cumulative No Project conditions allows an identification of the long-term project-related effects of the proposed project.
The development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in vehicle traffic to and from the project site. Methods used to estimate project-related travel have been previously described in the Existing Plus Approved Projects Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Impacts section of this traffic impact study. Table 24 displays the resulting Cumulative Plus Project roadway segment daily traffic volumes.
Development of forecasts of future year background traffic volumes has been previously described in the Cumulative No Project Conditions section of this traffic impact study.
Project-related roadway improvements and future year background roadway improvements assumed in this analysis have been previously described in the Existing Plus Approved Projects Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Impacts and the Cumulative No Project Conditions sections of this traffic impact study.
ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 24 presents a summary of LOS on the 12 study roadway segments under Cumulative Plus Project conditions. Nine of the 12 roadway segments would operate at acceptable LOS D or better. No improvements are needed on these nine roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS. The following three roadway segments would operate at unacceptable LOS. 104. SR 99 Between Golden Gate Avenue and Mariposa Road Under Cumulative Plus Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. LOS F is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under Cumulative No Project conditions, and the project-related change in traffic volume would not be greater than a five percent increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.

107. Mariposa Road, Between the Project Site and Carpenter Road Under long-term future Cumulative Plus Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS E. LOS E is considered unacceptable. Compared to Cumulative No Project Conditions, the project-related increase in volume would be greater than five percent. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant. The following improvement is recommended to improve operating conditions to acceptable LOS and reduce the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies to a less than significant level:
Under long-term future cumulative conditions, widen this roadway segment from four lanes to six lanes.

These two intersections are:
14. Mariposa Road & Northwest Project Driveway
15. Mariposa Road & Southeast Project Driveway
Cumulative Plus Project a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes and intersection lane geometrics at these two intersections are shown in Figure 25.

VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
As noted earlier in the Significance Thresholds section of this traffic impact study, the effects of the proposed project on VMT are determined by comparing travel associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project as proposed to travel associated with development of the project site with the current General Plan land use designations.
As noted earlier in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study, the Mariposa Industrial Park project proposes industrial land uses on the project site. As also noted in the Project Description section, the project site currently has an Industrial land use designation in the City of Stockton General Plan. Therefore, in this traffic impact study, vehicle travel associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project would be the same as the Industrial land uses currently designated in the City of Stockton General Plan. That is, implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in no net change from travel associated with the current General Plan-designated land uses.
VMT is calculated by multiplying the number of vehicle trips by the length of vehicle trips. As a result, a certain percent change in the number of vehicle trips would cause an equivalent change in VMT. Therefore, for the Mariposa Industrial Park project, a comparison of vehicle trips is considered equivalent to a comparison of VMT. Because the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in no net change from travel associated with the current General Plan–designated land use, the project would result in no net change in VMT.
As described in the Vehicle Miles Traveled Significance Threshold section of this traffic impact study,
“Consistent with General Plan Action TR4.3A, if a project would result in a 15 percent or more reduction of vehicle travel, a project is considered to have a lessthan-significant impact. A project that would not result in a reduction of 15 percent or more is considered to have a significant impact.” Because the Mariposa Industrial Park project would not result in a 15 percent reduction in VMT, the project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT. Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce the impact of the project on VMT. The numbering of the following mitigation measures is from the document Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures - A Resource for Local Government to Assess Emission Reductions from Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures (California Air Pollution Control Officers Association 2010), which contains more detailed information on these measures. The numbering of the following mitigation measures is not sequential in this traffic impact study. The out-of-sequence numbering is provided below to allow direct reference to the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) document. The “TRT” acronym shown below is used in the numbering of the CAPCOA document and refers to Trip Reduction – Transportation.
Mitigation Measure TRT-1. Implement Commute Trip Reduction Program - Voluntary
The Mariposa Industrial Park project will implement a Commute Trip Reduction Attachment F
877
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 91 July 9, 2021
(CTR) Program – Voluntary with employers to discourage single-occupancy vehicle trips and encourage alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, taking transit, walking, and biking. This is a multi-strategy program that encompasses a combination of individual measures.
The CTR program will provide employees with assistance in using alternative modes of travel, and provide both “carrots” and “sticks” to encourage employees.
The CTR program should include all of the following:
Carpooling encouragement
Ride-matching assistance
Preferential carpool parking
Flexible work schedules for carpools
Half time transportation coordinator
Vanpool assistance
Bicycle end-trip facilities (parking, showers and lockers) Other strategies may also include:
new employee orientation of trip reduction and alternative mode options, event promotions and publications,
flexible work schedule for all employees,
transit subsidies,
parking cash-out or priced parking,
shuttles,
emergency ride home, and
improved on-site amenities.
Mitigation Measure TRT-5. Provide End of Trip Bicycle Facilities The Mariposa Industrial Park project will provide "end-of-trip" facilities for bicycle riders including showers, secure bicycle lockers, and changing spaces.
End-of-trip facilities encourage the use of bicycling as a viable form of travel to destinations, especially to work. End-of trip facilities provide the added convenience and security needed to encourage bicycle commuting.
Mitigation Measure TRT-11. Provide Employer-Sponsored Vanpool/Shuttle The Mariposa Industrial Park project will implement an employer-sponsored vanpool or shuttle. A vanpool will usually service employees’ commute to work while a shuttle will service nearby transit stations and surrounding commercial centers. Employer-sponsored vanpool programs entail an employer purchasing or leasing vans for employee use, and often subsidizing the cost of at least program administration, if not more. The driver usually receives personal use of the van, often for a mileage fee. Scheduling is within the employer’s purview, and rider charges are normally set on the basis of vehicle and operating cost.

Implementation of the measures listed above would reduce project-related VMT and reduce the significance of the impact on VMT. However, quantification of the reduction is not possible at this time. At the time this traffic impact study was prepared, potential occupants of the Mariposa Industrial Park project were not identified. While the type of land use is expected to be industrial, specific tenants were not known. As a result, the following factors which would affect the ability to implement VMT reduction measures are not known:
hours of operation, including times of the day when work shift would change; the portion of work positions which would be full-time versus part-time; feasibility of implementing flexible work schedules; and degree to which working remotely is feasible.
Because the potential occupants of the project are not known, it is not possible to establish an enforceable commitment to reduce VMT by more than 15 percent. As a result, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Executive Summary is a brief overview of the analysis presented in this traffic impact study. It is not intended to be a comprehensive description of the analysis. For more details, the reader is referred to the full description presented in the traffic impact study.
This traffic impact study presents an analysis of the traffic-related effects of the Mariposa Industrial Park project. The project is located in unincorporated San Joaquin County, southeast of the City of Stockton, east of State Route (SR) 99, north of Littlejohns Creek, southwest of Mariposa Road. The project site is approximately 203.48 acres in size and is proposed to include 3,616,870 building square feet (sf) of high-cube warehouse industrial land use.
Access to the Mariposa Industrial Park site would be provided via two driveway connections to Mariposa Road.
This traffic impact study includes analysis of:
15 intersections,
12 roadway segments, and
13 freeway ramp junction areas.
These study facilities are analyzed under the following five development scenarios:
Existing Conditions,
Near-Term Future Existing Plus Approved Projects (EPAP) No Mariposa Industrial Park Project Conditions,
Near-Term Future EPAP Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Conditions, Long-Term Future Cumulative No Mariposa Industrial Park Project Conditions, and Long-Term Future Cumulative Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Conditions.
Under Existing Conditions, all study intersections operate at conditions which are considered acceptable. One study roadway segment and one freeway weave area operate at conditions which are considered unacceptable. This traffic impact study presents a recommended improvement for the study roadway segment.
Under EPAP No Mariposa Industrial Park Project conditions, three study intersections, two study roadway segments, and three study freeway ramp and weave facilities would experience operating conditions which are considered unacceptable. This traffic impact study presents recommended improvements for two of the study intersections, and one of the study roadway segments.

Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page ii July 9, 2021
Under EPAP Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project conditions, four study intersections, two study roadway segments, and three study freeway ramp and weave facilities would experience operating conditions which are considered unacceptable. The project-related change at two study intersections and one study roadway segment would be considered a significant inconsistency with General Plan policies and recommended improvements are identified to reduce the inconsistency to a less than significant level.
Under Cumulative No Mariposa Industrial Park Project conditions, two study roadway segments would experience operating conditions which are considered unacceptable. This traffic impact study presents recommended improvements for one of these two facilities.
Under Cumulative Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project conditions, three study roadway segments would experience operating conditions which are considered unacceptable. The project-related change at one study roadway segment would be considered a significant inconsistency with General Plan policies and a recommended improvement is identified to reduce the inconsistency to a less than significant level. The project-related change at two of these three facilities would be less than thresholds considered to be significant. Therefore, the project-related inconsistency at these facilities is considered less than significant.
In addition to presenting an analysis of traffic operating conditions, this traffic impact study also presents analysis of project-related impacts on
demand for public transit services,
demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and
vehicle miles traveled.

INTRODUCTION
STUDY PURPOSE
This traffic impact study presents an analysis of the traffic-related effects of the proposed Mariposa Industrial Park project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following is a description of the Mariposa Industrial Park project.
Project Location
The Mariposa Industrial Park project site is in the San Joaquin County unincorporated area, adjacent to the southeastern limits of the City of Stockton. Figure 1 presents an aerial photograph of the vicinity of the project site. The project site encompasses 203.48 acres.
Project Land Uses
The project proposes to develop the project site for light industrial land uses, primarily “highcube” warehouses. The details of the proposed development are discussed below.
The project proposes the annexation of the project site into the City of Stockton. The City would submit an annexation application to the San Joaquin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), which would be responsible for a decision on the annexation.
The project site is currently zoned by the County as AG-40 – General Agriculture with a 40-acre minimum parcel size. The project would include a request that the City pre-zone the entire project site Industrial, Limited (IL). This pre-zoning would be consistent with the current Industrial designation of the project site under the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a) and with the proposed project.
Upon annexation, the project site is proposed to be developed with light industrial land uses, mainly high-cube warehouses. Figure 2 shows a conceptual site plan. A “high-cube warehouse” is a building that typically has at least 200,000 gross square feet of floor area, has a ceiling height of approximately 24 feet or more, and is used primarily for the storage and/or consolidation of manufactured goods (and, to a lesser extent, raw materials) prior to their distribution to retail locations or other warehouses. A typical high-cube warehouse has a high level of on-site automation and logistics management, which enable highly efficient processing of goods through the warehouse.
As shown in Figure 2, the Mariposa Industrial Park project would include 3,616,870 building square feet of proposed development.

A total of approximately 2,900 parking stalls would be provided throughout the project site. Of that total, approximately 1,800 stalls would be for automobiles, 37 of which would be accessible to drivers with disabilities. The remaining approximately 1,100 stalls would be for trucks and trailers.
Circulation
Access would be from two driveways off Mariposa Road in the northeastern portion of the project site. In this traffic impact study, these two access locations are referred to as the “Southeast Project Driveway” and the “Northwest Project Driveway”. The Southeast Project Driveway would provide the main access to the project site, with an access road leading to most of the proposed development. The Northwest Project Driveway would provide access to the two northernmost buildings proposed on the site. Curb, gutter, and sidewalk would be installed along existing undeveloped street frontage in accordance with City standards. In addition, access to the project site would be made available from Marfargoa Road and Clark Road for emergency vehicles only. Figure 3 shows a striping plan for the project site frontage along Mariposa Road.
Desirable intersection spacing is often considered to be 1,000 feet between intersections. The distance between the driveway intersections for the Southeast Project Driveway and the Northwest Project Driveway is less than 1,000 feet. However, both of the driveway intersections would be “T” intersections. Neither would be a four-leg intersection. Because both driveways would connect at “T” intersections, neither intersection would have southeastbound-tonortheastbound left-turn movements. The absence of a need for vehicle storage for southeastbound-to-northeastbound left-turn movement at the Southeast Project Driveway intersection results in the distance between the two intersections being available for the northwestbound-to-southwestbound left-turn movement at the Northwest Project Driveway. As a result, the distance between the two project driveway intersections is considered to be adequate.
In the near-term future, this traffic impact study assumes the Southeast Project Driveway connection with Mariposa Road would include signalized intersection control. In the near-term future, the Northwest Project Driveway would include unsignalized stop-sign control, with the driveway being the controlled approach. In the long-term future, the Stockton General Plan includes widening of Mariposa Road from two lanes (one lane in each direction) to four lanes (two lanes in each direction). In the long-term future, this traffic impact study assumes both the Southeast Project Driveway connection and the Northwest Project Driveway connection would include signalized intersection control.
Project site frontage improvements will be geometrically designed to accommodate Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) design vehicle truck movements and heavy truck loads.
OVERALL ANALYSIS APPROACH
As noted above, this traffic impact study presents an analysis of the traffic-related effects of the Mariposa Industrial Park project. This analysis is conducted using near-term future background conditions and long-term future background conditions. Future background conditions are based Attachment F
893
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 3 July 9, 2021
on the City of Stockton General Plan. Analysis of traffic operating conditions under the following five scenarios is presented in this traffic impact study:
Existing Conditions,
EPAP No Mariposa Industrial Park Project,
EPAP Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project,
Cumulative No Project, and
Cumulative Plus Project.
Existing Plus Approved Projects conditions are a near-term background condition which includes existing traffic levels, and traffic associated with approved but unconstructed land use development projects in vicinity of the project site.
Cumulative conditions with the City of Stockton General Plan are a long-term background condition which includes future year forecasts of traffic volumes, based on development of surrounding land uses. This set of scenarios assumes 2040 conditions with future development consistent with the General Plan.

EXISTING SETTING
This section of this traffic impact study presents a description of existing conditions in the study area. Information presented in this section of the study is based on on-site field observations, traffic count data collected for this study, and other data available from local and state agencies.
This section of the traffic impact study also describes analysis methods applied for this study, and thresholds used to determine the significance of project-related effects.
STUDY AREA ROADWAYS
This traffic impact study presents analyses of traffic operating conditions at intersections, on roadways, and at freeway ramp junctions, in the study area that may be affected by the proposed project. The limits of the study area were identified through discussions with City of Stockton staff (Moore pers. comm.).
The following is a description of roadways that provide access to the proposed project site. These roadways are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4.
State Route 99 is a freeway that traverses the Central Valley, connecting Sacramento and points north with numerous Central Valley cities, including Modesto, Merced, Fresno and Bakersfield.
Three travel lanes are provided in each direction in the vicinity of the project site, with auxiliary lanes present at some locations. Twelve interchanges are provided along the 12-mile length of SR 99 within and adjacent to the Stockton City limits. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes on SR 99 range between 80,000 and 95,000 in the vicinity of the project site based on data available at California Department of Transportation 2021. The speed limit on SR 99 is 65 miles per hour (mph) in the vicinity of the proposed project site.
Mariposa Road is a west-northwest-to-east-southeast roadway connecting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in south Stockton with Escalon Bellota Road north of Escalon. In the vicinity of the project site, Mariposa Road is a two-lane roadway. The portion of Mariposa Road southeast of Carpenter Road has a 55 mph posted speed limit. Between Carpenter Road and 8th Street/Farmington Road (northwest of SR 99), the posted speed limit is 50 mph. Mariposa Road crosses a railroad track with a grade-separated railroad crossing located just east of the intersection with Austin Road. Limited pedestrian and no bicycle facilities are provided along the roadway within the study area. Mariposa Road is classified in the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a) as an arterial roadway. In the future, the General Plan indicates Mariposa Road would be six lanes wide from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Carpenter Road and four lanes wide from Carpenter Road to southeast of Austin Road.

A separate standalone assessment focusing on the potential effects of Mariposa Industrial Park project-related trucks is being prepared by the civil engineering firm Kier + Wright. The assessment will include effects associated with the potential use of STAA trucks. As appropriate, the truck assessment will be used as a source document for identifying truck-related impacts in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental impact report (EIR) for the Mariposa Industrial Park project and needed mitigation measures.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The San Joaquin Regional Transit District (SJRTD) is the primary provider of public transportation service in San Joaquin County, providing services to the Stockton metropolitan area, as well as inter-city, inter-regional, and rural transit service. SJRTD provides fixed-route, flexible fixed-route, and dial-a-ride services in Stockton. Each service is described in more detail below. (San Joaquin Regional Transit District 2021)
Stockton Metropolitan Area Fixed Route Service operates 33 fixed routes within the Stockton metropolitan area.
Intercity Fixed Route Service is provided by a route between Stockton and the Lodi Station in downtown Lodi connecting with Lodi Grapeline, Calaveras Transit, Delta Breeze, Sacramento South County Transit (SCT)/LINK buses. Interregional Commuter Service is a subscription commuter bus service. A total of eight routes connect San Joaquin County to Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system.
SJRTD operates two Dial-a-Ride services. General Public Dial-A-Ride is a curb-tocurb service in areas not currently being served by RTD or other local transportation providers. Passengers are required to use other public transportation options currently available in their area. Stockton Metro Area Dial-A-Ride (SMA-ADA) is a curb-to-curb service operating within the Stockton Metropolitan Area for passengers with an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Certification.

PARK AND RIDE FACILITIES
Park and Ride lots are free parking facilities for commuters to use as a convenient meeting place for carpools, transit, and vanpools. Park and Ride lots in the Stockton area are listed below. the Calvary First Church on Kelley Drive north of Hammer Lane; the Hammer Crossing Shopping Center at Hammer Lane and Sampson Road; the Lifesong Church, 3034 Michigan Avenue; and
Mariposa Road east of SR 99..
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SYSTEMS
The generally level terrain and mild weather make bicycling and walking viable forms of transportation in Stockton. The City of Stockton has an extensive network of bicycle facilities, including off-street trails and paths, as well as on-street bicycle lanes and routes. Many of these facilities also support pedestrian travel. According to Caltrans guidelines, bicycle facilities are generally divided into four categories:
Class I Bikeway (Bike Path). A completely separate facility designated for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with vehicle and pedestrian cross-flow minimized.
Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane). A striped lane designated for the use of bicycles on a street or highway. Vehicle parking and vehicle/pedestrian cross-flow are permitted at designated locations.
Class III Bikeway (Bike Route). A route designated by signs or pavement markings for bicyclists within the vehicular travel lane (i.e., shared use) of a roadway.
Class IV Bikeway (Separated Bikeway). A bikeway for the exclusive use of bicycles and includes a separation required between the separated bikeway and the through vehicular traffic. The separation may include, but is not limited to, grade separation, flexible posts, inflexible posts, inflexible barriers, or on-street parking.
In the immediate vicinity of the project site, neither bicycle facilities nor sidewalks are present along either side of Mariposa Road between Munford Avenue and Austin Road.
The City of Stockton General Plan presents a map showing existing and planned bicycle facilities in the Stockton area, shown on Figure 5. Figure 5 shows a planned Class II bike lane on Arch Road between SR 99 and Austin Road, and a planned Class II bike lane on Mariposa Road between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and SR 99.

110. SR 99 Between Mariposa Road and Arch-Airport Road
111. Arch-Airport Road, Between Qantas Lane and SR 99
112. SR 99 South of Arch-Airport Road
The locations of study roadway segment are presented in Figure 7. The numbers listed above correspond to the roadway segment numbers on this figure. The numbers used for roadway segments are sequential, beginning with 101 to distinguish study roadway segments from study intersections listed previously.
The study roadway segments are specific to certain locations on the roadway network. However, in some cases, a roadway segment represents larger portions of roadway segments. For example, analysis results for roadway segment Mariposa Road, east of Austin Road, applies to Mariposa Road from Austin Road to Jack Tone Road. The descriptions of locations listed above, and used in this traffic impact study, are as specific as possible to minimize ambiguity.

In addition to analyzing intersections and roadway segments, the traffic-related effects of the proposed project on freeway ramp junctions were assessed for this traffic impact study. Ramp junctions that would serve as major access routes, and would be affected by project-related traffic, were analyzed. The following ramp junctions were selected for analysis in consultation with City of Stockton staff (Moore pers comm.):

METHODOLOGY
The following is a description of the analysis methods used in this traffic impact study.
Intersection Level of Service Analysis Procedures
Level of service (LOS) analysis provides a basis for describing existing traffic conditions and for evaluating the significance of project-related inconsistency with General Plan transportation policies. Level of service measures the quality of traffic flow and is represented by letter designations from A to F, with a grade of A referring to the best conditions, and F representing the worst conditions. The characteristics associated with the various LOS for intersections are presented in Table 1.
Level of service at both signalized and unsignalized intersections was analyzed using methods presented in the Highway Capacity Manual. Methods described in the Highway Capacity Manual were used to provide a basis for describing traffic conditions and for evaluating the significance of inconsistency with General Plan policies. As specified by City of Stockton staff (McDowell pers. comm.), methods from the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (Transportation Research Board, 2000) were used to analyze local roadway intersections. As specified in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (City of Stockton, 2003), the Traffix software analysis package was used to analyze local roadway intersections.
Caltrans District 10 recommends use of the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition (Transportation Research Board 2016) and the Synchro software package (Trafficware 2021). Therefore, as specified by City of Stockton staff, freeway ramp intersections were analyzed using Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition methods and the Synchro software package.
The lengths of vehicle queues were also analyzed for this traffic impact study. Methods presented in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 and Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition were used to analyze queuing. 95th percentile queue length values are presented in this traffic impact study.
Worksheets and output reports for the calculation of LOS and vehicles queues for all scenarios analyzed for this traffic impact study are presented in the technical appendix.

Signal Warrants Procedures
Traffic signal warrants are a series of standards which provide guidelines for determining if a traffic signal is appropriate. Signal warrant analyses are typically conducted at intersections of uncontrolled major streets and stop sign-controlled minor streets. If one or more signal warrants are met, signalization of the intersection may be appropriate. However, a signal should not be installed if none of the warrants are met, because installation of signals would increase delays on the previously-uncontrolled major street, resulting in an undesirable increase in overall vehicle delay at the intersection. Signalization may also increase the occurrence of certain types of accidents.
Therefore, if signals are installed where signal warrants are not met, the detriment of increased accidents and overall delay may be greater than the benefit in traffic operating conditions on the single worst movement at the intersection. Signal warrants, then, provide an industry-standard basis for identifying when the adverse effect on the worst movement is substantial enough to warrant signalization.
For the analysis conducted for this traffic impact study, available data at unsignalized intersections are limited to a.m. and p.m. peak hour volumes. Thus, unsignalized intersections were evaluated using the Peak Hour Warrant (Warrant Number 3) from the California Department of Transportation document California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California Department of Transportation 2014). This warrant was applied where the minor street experiences long delays in entering or crossing the major street for at least one hour of the day. The Peak Hour Warrant itself includes several components. Some of the components involve comparison of traffic volumes and vehicle delay to a series of standards. Another component involves comparison of traffic volumes to a nomograph.
Even if the peak hour warrant is met, a more detailed signal warrant study is recommended before a signal is installed. The more detailed study should consider volumes during the eight highest hours of the day, volumes during the four highest hours of the day, pedestrian traffic, and accident histories.
Signal warrant analysis worksheets for all stop sign-controlled intersections are presented in the technical appendix.
Roadway Segment Level of Service Analysis Procedures
Roadway segment LOS was analyzed for this traffic impact study based on methods used in the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update and Utility Master Plan Supplements Draft EIR analysis (City of Stockton 2018b). These methods set maximum daily traffic volume thresholds for each LOS designation. The thresholds are shown in Table 2.
As shown in Table 2, the roadway segment LOS analysis method sets separate thresholds for:
different types of facilities (i.e., freeways, arterials, and collectors); different number of lanes; and
different area types (i.e., new versus existing).

As described in City of Stockton 2018b:
“Thresholds for arterials and collectors were based on Highway Capacity Manual calculations and were developed in conjunction with City staff at the time the current General Plan analysis was prepared. The arterial thresholds distinguish between roads in the existing urbanized area and those in new development areas; because arterials in new development areas can be designed to higher standards, with medians, exclusive turn lanes, and controlled access from adjacent uses, the capacities are higher than those in previously-developed areas. Thresholds for freeways were based on Highway Capacity Manual procedures relating levels of service to vehicle density ranges.”
As specified in City of Stockton 2018b, the “Existing” area is generally located between I-5 and SR 99, south of Eight Mile Road. Eight Mile Road itself is considered a “New” arterial due to the lack of existing development in the area.
Freeway Ramp Junction Level of Service Analysis Procedures Freeway ramp junctions are areas where freeway on-ramps merge into freeways, and where freeway off-ramps diverge from freeways. Weave areas are where an on-ramp and downstream off-ramp are connected by an auxiliary lane. Freeway ramp junctions which are considered to be potentially affected by project-related traffic were analyzed for this traffic impact study.
Freeway ramp junction areas were analyzed for this traffic impact study using methods described in Chapters 12 and 13 of the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (Transportation Research Board 2010).
The Synchro software package does not analyze freeway ramp junction LOS. Therefore, the McTrans HCS+ Highway Capacity Software package was used to perform the ramp junction LOS calculations for this traffic impact study.
The Highway Capacity Manual 2010 methods were used to analyze three types of freeway facilities: on-ramp junctions (merge), off-ramp junctions (diverge), and weave areas. The analysis of all three types of facilities involves calculating the density of vehicles on a freeway facility, expressed as passenger cars per mile per lane (pcpmpl). The LOS designation is based on the vehicle density. Table 3 presents the relationship of vehicle density to LOS for ramp junctions and weave areas.
Freeway ramp operating conditions depend on traffic volumes and the ramp characteristics. These characteristics include the length and type of acceleration and deceleration lanes, the free-flow speed of ramps, the number of lanes, grade, and the types of facilities connected to the ramps.
The Highway Capacity Manual 2010 reports LOS A through E for ramps and weaving sections in terms of density. When the volume using the facility exceeds capacity, the V/C ratio is greater than 1, and the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 identifies the facility as overcapacity. While a density is not stated when the facility is over capacity, the freeway and ramp volumes for the facility are documented. For this traffic study, the freeway and ramp volumes are identified for all facilities where capacity has been exceeded.

Some of the freeway on-ramp facilities analyzed for this traffic impact study are equipped with ramp metering. The Highway Capacity Manual 2010 methods used to analyze freeway on-ramp facilities does not take ramp metering into account (Transportation Research Board 2010). The objective and the effect of ramp metering is to smooth out traffic flows, reducing the magnitude of surges in traffic flow. As a result, the effect of ramp meters is to improve traffic operations, therefore improving ramp junction LOS. Because the ramp junction analysis presented in this traffic impact study does not take ramp metering into account, the LOS are considered to conservatively describe worse cast operating conditions.

Travel Forecasting
As part of the General Plan update process, the City of Stockton developed a series of travel demand forecasting simulation models. In consultation with City of Stockton staff (Moore, pers. comm.), travel forecasts for this traffic impact study are based on the City of Stockton General Plan travel demand forecasting simulation model (City of Stockton 2018b).
Travel models of the following two conditions were used to develop forecasts of future year traffic volumes for this traffic impact study:
Existing Plus Approved Projects (EPAP), and
2040 Conditions with the General Plan.
The City’s travel model produces forecasts of daily traffic volumes. The forecasts of daily volumes generated by the City’s travel model are adequate for use in the analysis of roadway segment LOS, and are used for daily volume forecasts in this traffic impact study. However, the daily volumes generated by the traffic model are not, by themselves, adequate for use in the peak hour LOS analysis of study intersections.
Daily traffic volumes from the travel models were used to generate growth factors. These growth factors were applied to existing peak hour intersection turning movement traffic volumes.
The development of future year intersection turning movement traffic volumes requires that the turning movements at each intersection “balance”. To achieve the balance, inbound traffic volumes must equal the outbound traffic volumes, and the volumes must be distributed among the various left-turn, through, and right-turn movements at each intersection. The “balancing” of future year intersection turning movement traffic volumes was conducted using methods described in the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB’s) National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 255, Highway Traffic Data for Urbanized Area Project Planning and Design (Transportation Research Board 1982). The NCHRP 255 method applies the desired peak hour directional volumes to the intersection turning movement volumes, using an iterative process to balance and adjust the resulting forecasts to match the desired peak hour directional volumes.
LEVEL OF SERVICE AND SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLDS
Significance thresholds are used in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental documents to identify when the impacts of a project should be considered significant. Significance thresholds are the criteria used to determine the significance of impacts.
The City of Stockton Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines (City of Stockton 2003) presents the methods, assumptions and significance thresholds specified by the City of Stockton for use in preparing traffic impact studies. In general, the methods, assumptions and significance threshold presented in the guidelines are applied in this traffic impact study. It is important to note the significance thresholds specified in the guidelines are based on policies presented in the City General Plan. More specifically, the General Plan policies define ranges of LOS considered to Attachment F
919
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 29 July 9, 2021
be acceptable and unacceptable. The guidelines then use the General Plan policy ranges of LOS to identify whether a project impact is less than significant or significant.
Level of Service and Vehicle Miles Traveled
In the City of Stockton Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines, the impacts of a project on LOS are an important factor in determining whether a project has a significant impact. However, recent changes to CEQA have changed how lead agencies use LOS in determining whether a project has a significant impact on transportation. As noted in the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) document Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research 2018), “Senate Bill 743 (Steinberg, 2013), which was codified in Public Resources Code section 21099, required changes to the guidelines implementing CEQA (CEQA Guidelines) (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Div. 6, Ch. 3, § 15000 et seq.) regarding the analysis of transportation impacts. . . OPR has proposed, and the California Natural Resources Agency (Agency) has certified and adopted, changes to the CEQA Guidelines that identify vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the most appropriate metric to evaluate a project’s transportation impacts. With the California Natural Resources Agency’s certification and adoption of the changes to the CEQA Guidelines, automobile delay, as measured by “level of service” and other similar metrics, generally no longer constitutes a significant environmental effect under CEQA. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21099, subd. (b)(3).)” Notably, the City of Stockton Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines was prepared before the recent changes to CEQA due to Senate Bill 743 (Steinberg 2013). As a result, the City guidelines specify use of LOS in determining whether a project has a significant impact. Consistent with the approach described in the OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA, LOS will not be used in this traffic impact study as a basis for identifying significant impacts. Rather, the methods, assumptions and significance thresholds presented in the City guidelines are used to determine whether the project is consistent or inconsistent with General Plan policies on LOS, and whether the magnitude of inconsistency should be considered significant or less than significant.
General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria
As noted immediately above, in this traffic impact study the significance of the proposed project’s inconsistency with General Plan policies is based on a determination of whether resulting LOS is considered acceptable. A project’s inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant if implementation of the project would result in LOS changing from levels considered acceptable to levels considered unacceptable, or if the project would substantially worsen already unacceptable LOS.
The City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines notes that:
Attachment F
920
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 30 July 9, 2021
“The City of Stockton’s General Plan has a LOS ‘D’ standard for its roadway system. Intersections and roadway segments operating at LOS ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, or ‘D’ conditions are considered acceptable, while those operating at LOS ‘E’ or ‘F’ conditions are considered unacceptable.
“For a City intersection, a transportation impact for a project is considered significant if the addition of project traffic would cause an intersection that would function at LOS ‘D’ or better without the Project to function at LOS ‘E’ or ‘F’. “For City intersections with a LOS ‘E’ or ‘F’ conditions without the project, a transportation impact for a project is considered significant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of greater than 5 seconds in the average delay for the intersection.”
Portions of the City’s guidelines do not specifically address criteria used to quantify changes in operating conditions on roadway segments or freeway ramp junctions. For this traffic impact study, the City’s significance thresholds described above are also applied to roadway segments and freeway ramp junctions. As shown in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3, LOS at intersections is measured in seconds of delay, LOS on roadway segments is measured in traffic volume, and LOS at ramp junctions is measured in vehicle density. Therefore, for roadway segments and ramp junctions already at LOS E or F, an increase of greater than five seconds of delay cannot be identified. Because roadway segment LOS is measured in traffic volumes, rather than seconds of delay, an increase in traffic volumes is used in this traffic impact study, in lieu of the threshold of five seconds of delay. At ramp junctions when the demand exceeds capacity, an increase in density is not identified; however, the densities of each area are based upon the volume.
Therefore, for this traffic impact study, if a roadway segment or ramp junction operates at LOS E or F without the project, the inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant if the addition of project traffic causes an increase of greater than five percent in traffic volumes.
The Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a) notes:
“The City of Stockton strives to maintain LOS D or better for peak hour intersection and daily roadway segment operations. However, in the Downtown and other areas, exceptions to this standard are permissible to support other goals, such as encouraging safe travel by other modes of transportation than the car. The City can use VMT and LOS to support non-auto transportation modes, with the ultimate goal of maintaining and enhancing a complete roadway network that serves all travel modes in a balanced and equitable way.” This section of the City General Plan lists more than 14 facilities as exceptions to the LOS D policy standard, and lists the applicable standard. Among the facilities listed as exceptions is “Eighth Street, Airport Way to Mariposa Road – LOS E”. Consistent with the City General Plan, a LOS E standard is applied in this traffic impact study to the intersection of Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road.
Attachment F
921
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 31 July 9, 2021
SR 99 is a facility under the jurisdiction of Caltrans. While the City General Plan identifies LOS E and LOS F as standards for portions of the SR 99 corridor, Caltrans has set a LOS D standard (Dumas, pers. comm.). At the direction of City staff, because SR 99 is under the jurisdiction of Caltrans, LOS D is used as the LOS standard for the SR 99 corridor in this traffic impact study; LOS E and F are considered unacceptable. In this traffic impact study, the Caltrans LOS D standard is applied to mainline freeway LOS, ramp junction LOS, and to LOS at freeway interchange intersections.
In this traffic impact study, a project’s inconsistency with General Plan policies will be considered significant if:
the project would result in traffic operating conditions changing from an acceptable LOS to an unacceptable LOS, or
when LOS without the project is already unacceptable, the project would result in a substantial degradation of traffic operating conditions (e.g., an increase of more than five seconds of delay at an intersection, an increase of more than five percent in traffic volume on a roadway segment, or an increase of more than five percent in the freeway and ramp volumes for ramps).
Maximum Feasible Roadway Improvements
This traffic impact study identifies traffic operating conditions that would result from background development of land use not related to the proposed project, and would result from development of the proposed project. In some cases, this development would result in unacceptable LOS. If unacceptable LOS is forecasted, feasible roadway improvements needed to achieve acceptable LOS are identified.
For this traffic impact study, maximum feasible sizes of roadway facilities have been established.
For intersections, the maximum feasible size is considered to be seven approach lanes on each leg of an intersection. For example, two left-turn lanes, four through lanes, and a right-turn lane (a total of seven lanes) is considered to be the maximum feasible size on an intersection approach. Existing land use development, physical or right-of-way constraints, and the relative benefits of additional roadway improvements in some cases result in a smaller approach being considered the maximum feasible size.
For SR 99 in the study area for this traffic impact study, the Caltrans Transportation Concept Report State Route 99 (California Department of Transportation 2017) identifies a “conceptual facility” width of eight lanes (four in each direction) by the year 2040. Therefore, an eight-lane width is considered to be the maximum feasible size for SR 99.
It is technically possible to construct roadway facilities larger than the maximum feasible sizes applied in this traffic impact study. However, for the following reasons, this traffic impact study considers these sizes to be not feasible.
Pedestrian Safety – The amount of time required by pedestrians to walk across an intersection leg with more than seven approach lanes is considered excessive.
Attachment F
922
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 32 July 9, 2021
The possibility of signal lights changing before pedestrians are able to exit the intersection is considered unacceptably high.
Vehicle Safety – When a vehicle enters an intersection on the yellow light, the amount of time required for this subject vehicle to depart overly-large intersections is considered excessive. The possibility of other vehicles on conflicting movements entering the intersection before the subject vehicle has departed is considered unacceptably high.
Intersection Efficiency – The timing of signal lights may be modified to provide protection for pedestrians and vehicles at overly-large intersections. However, the amount of time needed for pedestrians and vehicles to exit an overly-large intersection becomes excessive. This results in the intersection operating with an unacceptable degree of inefficiency.
Engineering Constraints – Overhead structures and equipment are required to traverse both intersection approaches and freeway lanes. Overhead structures involve primarily overcrossing roadways. Equipment includes signal light support structures, power lines, and signs. With larger facilities, the size and resulting cost of these structures and equipment becomes unacceptable.
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED SIGNIFICANCE THRESHOLD
The City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a) Policy TR-4.3 addresses the topic of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as an impact in CEQA documents. The policy states, “Use the threshold recommended by the California Office of Planning and Research for determining whether VMT impacts associated with land uses are considered significant under State environmental analysis requirements.” The OPR Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (State of California 2018) provides recommended thresholds for determining the significance of VMT impacts associated with land use development projects. Specific thresholds are provided for residential, office, and retail commercial types of development. A specific threshold is not provided for industrial land use, like the Mariposa Industrial Park project and is, therefore, considered not applicable for this traffic impact study.
The City of Stockton General Plan Policy Action TR-4.3A states, “Establish a threshold of 15 percent below baseline VMT per capita to determine a significant transportation impact under the California Environmental Quality Act.” The 15 percent threshold in General Plan Action TR-4.3A is similar to thresholds for residential and office land use types recommended by OPR in the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA, and is used in this traffic impact study to determine the significance of VMT impacts associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project.
Attachment F
923
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 33 July 9, 2021
Consistent with General Plan Action TR4.3A, if a project would result in a 15 percent or more reduction of vehicle travel, a project is considered to have a less-than-significant impact. A project that would not result in a reduction of 15 percent or more is considered to have a significant impact. The percent change in vehicle travel is determined by comparing projectrelated travel to the amount of travel that would occur without approval of the proposed project.
In this traffic impact study, vehicle travel associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project will be compared to vehicle travel associated with the land uses currently designated in the City of Stockton General Plan.
At the time the analysis presented in this traffic impact study commenced, the City of Stockton had not adopted guidelines for analyzing VMT or determining the significance of a project’s impact on VMT. The City was in the process of developing and adopting guidelines, but the process was not completed. The VMT analysis presented in this traffic impact study is not intended to pre-empt the City process of developing and adopting VMT guidelines. Rather, the analysis presented in this traffic impact study is intended to be a good-faith effort at disclosing and identifying the VMT impacts of the Mariposa Industrial Park project based on currently available data and guidance.
EXISTING INTERSECTION TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND LEVELS OF SERVICE The following is a description of existing traffic operating conditions at the study intersections.
Traffic Volumes
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, traffic volumes have at times been lower than normal. With the pandemic, places of employment, schools, social and recreational gatherings, sports events, restaurants, and many other types of activities have been substantially reduced or prohibited. As a result, the use of new traffic volume count data collected during the pandemic could result in volumes that are unrepresentatively low. To ensure data used in this traffic study are representative, the traffic analysis of the Mariposa Industrial Park project is based on both existing traffic volume data collected before the outbreak of Covid-19, and current new traffic volume count data collected since the outbreak. Data collected before the outbreak of Covid-19 are from previously-prepared traffic analyses and from StreetLight Data (https://www.streetlightdata.com/). Data from new traffic volume count data collected since the outbreak were used to validate data collected before the outbreak of Covid-19. This approach was applied to intersection traffic volumes, described immediately below. This approach was also applied to roadway segment and ramp junction traffic volumes, described later in this traffic impact study.
At the following study intersections, turning movement count data collected for the Public Review Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Sanchez-Hoggan Annexation (City of Stockton 2020) were used in this traffic impact study.

The data were collected during the 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. period, and the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. period. Volumes during the highest one-hour period were used for this traffic impact study. It should be noted that a since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, a south leg has been constructed at intersection 10, Mariposa Road & Austin Road. However, as noted previously, traffic volumes during the pandemic could be unrepresentatively low. To ensure representative data are presented in this traffic impact study, conditions before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic are used.
At the following study intersections, pre-Covid-19 intersection turning movement count data were collected for weekday periods between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. from StreetLight Data. These data represent Tuesday through Thursday volumes collected during six non-holiday months between March 2019 and February 2020. Traffic volume count data collected from StreetLight Data are presented in the technical appendix.
1. Golden Gate Avenue & SR 99 Southbound Ramps
2. Golden Gate Avenue & SR 99 Northbound Ramps
3. Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road
7. Mariposa Road & Stagecoach Road
8. Mariposa Road & Munford Avenue
9. Mariposa Road & Carpenter Road
To validate the traffic volumes collected from StreetLight Data, new count data were also collected on Tuesday January 12, 2021 at the intersections listed above during the 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. morning peak period and the 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. evening peak. The new count data were used to adjust volumes from StreetLight Data at the following intersection legs:
the southwest leg of the intersection of Mariposa Road & Stagecoach Road, the southwest leg of the intersection of Mariposa Road & Carpenter Road, and the northeast leg of the intersection of Mariposa Road & Carpenter Road.
Traffic volumes on the intersection legs listed above are relatively low and the intersection turning movement volumes from StreetLight Data were considered to be unrepresentative. The new count data collected on Tuesday January 12, 2021 were used to adjust the turning movement volumes on the intersection legs listed above.

Using the approach described above results in volumes applied in this traffic study which compensate for decreases caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Figure 9 and Figure 10 present the existing lane configurations and existing a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the existing study intersections.
Intersection turning movement count data collected for this traffic impact study were disaggregated to light-duty vehicles (e.g., automobiles) and heavy vehicles (e.g., heavy-duty trucks). These data were used to estimate heavy vehicle percentage at each study intersection.
The percentages are shown in Table 4, and were used in the intersection LOS analysis presented in this traffic impact study.
Intersection Levels of Service
Table 5 presents a summary of existing a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at the 13 existing study intersections. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
All of the 13 existing study intersections operate at acceptable LOS C or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements are needed at these intersections to achieve acceptable LOS.
EXISTING ROADWAY SEGMENT TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND LEVELS OF SERVICE The following is a description of existing traffic operating conditions on study roadway segments.
Roadway Segment Traffic Volumes
As described in more detail previously in this traffic impact study, to ensure data used in this study are representative, the traffic analysis of the Mariposa Industrial Park project is based on both existing traffic volume data collected before the outbreak of Covid-19, and current new traffic volume count data collected since the outbreak.
Roadway segment traffic volume count data were collected for 24-hour periods for the Public Review Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Sanchez-Hoggan Annexation (City of Stockton 2020). For the following roadway segments, the data were collected on Wednesday March 13, 2019; and Thursday March 21, 2019. Traffic count data collected for the following roadway segments were used in this traffic impact study, and are presented in the technical appendix:

EXISTING PLUS APPROVED PROJECTS
NO MARIPOSA INDUSTRIAL PARK PROJECT CONDITIONS
The EPAP No Mariposa Industrial Park Project condition is a near-term future background condition. This condition is also referred to in this traffic impact study as EPAP No Project conditions. Development of land uses and roadway improvements associated with previouslyapproved but as yet unconstructed projects are assumed in this condition. This scenario does not include development of the proposed Mariposa Industrial Park project. The EPAP No Project condition, therefore, serves as the baseline condition used to assess the significance of near-term project-related traffic effects.
TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
In consultation with City of Stockton staff (Moore pers. comm.), the City of Stockton Travel Demand Model (City of Stockton 2004) was used to develop forecasts of background increases in traffic volumes under near-term EPAP conditions. The increases in traffic volumes reflect development of near-term previously-approved projects in Stockton. The model was modified in the vicinity of the project site to add detail to the model and more accurately represent how land uses are provided access to the roadway network. Minor changes were also made to land uses in the model to accurately represent land uses.
Application of these methods results in the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour intersection traffic volumes presented in Figure 13 and Figure 14, the daily traffic volumes presented in Table 9, and the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour ramp junction traffic volumes presented in Figure 15 and Figure 16.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The EPAP No Project condition assumes roadway improvements associated with previouslyapproved land use development projects, and approved roadway improvement projects. These near-term roadway improvements were identified in the NorCal Logistics Center – Draft Environmental Impact Report (Project File No. P12-110) (City of Stockton 2014), and the Draft Environmental Impact Report - Mariposa Lakes Specific Plan - State Clearinghouse #2006022035 (City of Stockton 2007) and the Public Review Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Sanchez-Hoggan Annexation (City of Stockton 2020). The improvements include, for example, construction of a fourth leg at the intersection of Mariposa Road & Austin Road, which is associated with the Sanchez-Hoggan development project.
The resulting lane geometrics assumed for EPAP No Project conditions are shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 and in Table 9.

INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 10 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study intersection under EPAP No Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Traffic volumes under EPAP No Project conditions would be generally higher than under Existing Conditions and, as a result, vehicle delay at study intersections under EPAP No Project conditions would be higher than under Existing Conditions.
Under EPAP No Project conditions, LOS at 10 of the 13 study intersections would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements are needed at these 10 intersections to achieve acceptable LOS. The following describes the three study intersections that would operate at unacceptable LOS under EPAP No Project conditions.
3. Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road
Under EPAP No Project conditions, the intersection of Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road would operate at LOS F with 94.9 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F with 130.0 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. The following improvement is recommended:
Split the northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane into an exclusive northeastbound through lane and a “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound rightturn lane.
The above improvement would be consistent with the recommended improvement (described below) for Roadway Segment 105, Mariposa Road Between SR 99 and 8th Street/Farmington Road, to widen the portions of this roadway segment which are one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction. The added southeastbound departure lane on Mariposa Road would serve vehicles departing the “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound right-turn lane at this intersection.
The existing northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane is approximately 23 to 24 feet wide and the single southwestbound departure lane is approximately 21 to 22 feet wide. As a result, the existing pavement width on the southwest leg of this intersection is considered wide enough to accommodate the above improvement.
As shown in Table 11, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS D with 38.2 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS E with 64.3 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. As described in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, LOS D and E at this intersection are considered acceptable.

12. Arch-Airport Road & Qantas Lane
Under EPAP No Project conditions, the intersection of Arch-Airport Road & Qantas Lane would operate at LOS E with 60.0 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C with 27.8 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS E is considered unacceptable. The following improvement is recommended:
Change the signal timing to include overlap phasing on the northwestbound-tonortheastbound right-turn movement.
As shown in Table 11, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS C with 31.6 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS C with 26.8 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. LOS C is considered acceptable.
13. Arch Road & SR 99
Under EPAP No Project conditions, the intersection of Arch Road & SR 99 would operate at LOS F with 195.4 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS E with 69.5 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS E and F are considered unacceptable.
Attachment F
946
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 56 July 9, 2021
The unacceptable LOS at this intersection under EPAP No Project conditions would be due to increases in traffic volume along Arch Road, and on the SR 99 interchange ramps. Improvement of LOS at this intersection to acceptable LOS would require re-structuring of the interchange facility.
Reconstruction of the Arch–Airport Road interchange on SR 99, including additional eastbound and westbound through lanes would be required to achieve acceptable LOS. The EPAP No Project scenario is considered a near-term condition, and reconstruction of the interchange in the near-term future is not considered feasible. Therefore, improvements at this intersection are not recommended.
ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 9 presents a summary of LOS on the 12 study roadway segments under EPAP No Project conditions. 10 of the 12 roadway segments would operate at acceptable LOS D or better. No improvements are needed on these 10 roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS. The following describes the two study roadway segments that would operate at unacceptable LOS under EPAP No Project conditions.
105. Mariposa Road Between SR 99 and 8th Street/Farmington Road Under EPAP No Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. This LOS is considered unacceptable. The following improvement is recommended:
Widen the portions of this roadway segment which are one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction.
A summary of LOS with recommended improvements is presented in Table 12. With this recommended improvement, this roadway segment would operate at LOS C. This LOS is considered acceptable.
This improvement is also recommended under Existing Conditions. 111. Arch-Airport Road Between Qantas Lane and SR 99
Under EPAP No Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS E. This LOS is considered unacceptable. Widening of this roadway segment to add through lanes to improve LOS would require reconstruction of the Arch-Airport Road interchange on SR 99. The EPAP No Project scenario is considered a near-term condition, and reconstruction of the interchange in the near-term future is not considered feasible. Therefore, improvement to this roadway segment is not recommended.

RAMP JUNCTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Figure 15 and Figure 16 presents a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the study ramp junctions under EPAP No Project conditions. Table 13 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study ramp junction under EPAP No Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Traffic volumes under EPAP No Project conditions would be generally higher than under Existing Conditions and, as a result, vehicle density at study ramp junctions under EPAP No Project conditions would be higher than under Existing Conditions.
Under EPAP No Project conditions, LOS at 10 of the 13 study ramp junctions would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements are needed at these 10 ramp junctions to achieve acceptable LOS.
The following three ramp junction areas would operate at unacceptable LOS under EPAP No Project conditions:
201. SR 99 Southbound Weave Area Between Fremont Street and Crosstown Freeway would operate at LOS F during the a.m. peak hour, 205. SR 99 at Golden Gate Avenue Northbound On-Ramp Merge would operate at LOS F during the p.m. peak hour, and

PLUS MARIPOSA INDUSTRIAL PARK PROJECT IMPACTS
The EPAP Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project scenario is a near-term future condition with the proposed project. This condition is also referred to in this traffic impact study as EPAP Plus Project conditions.
The development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in vehicle traffic to and from the project site. The amount of additional traffic on a particular section of the street network depends on three factors:
Trip Generation, the number of new trips generated by the project, Trip Distribution, the direction of travel for the new traffic, and Trip Assignment, the specific routes used by the new traffic.
Each of these three factors is described below.
TRIP GENERATION
Development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would generate new vehicle trips and potentially affect traffic operations on study facilities. The number of vehicle trips expected to be generated by the proposed project has been estimated using typical trip generation rates that have been developed based on the nature and size of project land uses. Trip generation rates developed for the City of Stockton (McDowell pers. comm.) were applied for this traffic impact study. These rates have been applied by the City for other projects in the southeast Stockton area (City of Stockton 2014, and Tellez pers. comm.) with land uses similar to the Mariposa Industrial Park project.
The trip generation rates used in this traffic impact study are presented in Table 14. The trip generation rates are applied to the amount of project-related land uses. The resulting trip generation estimates are presented in Table 15. As shown in Table 15, the Mariposa Industrial Park project would generate an estimated 12,370 vehicle trips per day, with 651 trips during the a.m. peak hour and 796 trips during the p.m. peak hour.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
Project-related trips were geographically distributed over the study area roadway network. The geographical distribution of trips is based on the relative attractiveness or utility of possible destinations. Trip distribution percentages applied in this traffic impact study are presented in Table 16. The data presented in Table 16 are graphically shown in Figure 17 and Figure 18.

Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 65 July 9, 2021
The City of Stockton travel demand model (City of Stockton 2004 and City of Stockton 2018b) was used to estimate trip distribution percentages. The travel demand model is considered to be a valid source for the trip distribution percentages because it directly addresses:
the location of destinations of project-related trips, the magnitude of land uses that would attract project-related trips, and the quality of access to the destinations via the roadway network.
This traffic impact study includes analysis of scenarios based on two different background development conditions:
Existing Plus Approved Projects (EPAP), and
2040 Cumulative Conditions.
The travel demand model for each of these two scenarios was used to estimate trip distribution percentages. Background (non-project) land uses are different in each of the two travel demand models. The different land uses result in different geographic distributions of travel. As a result, the trip distribution percentages are different for each of the two background development conditions. Table 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18 present the trip distribution percentages for each of the two background development scenarios.
A “select link” analysis was conducted using each of the two travel demand models to determine the geographic distribution of project-related travel. The select link analysis identifies vehicle trips associated with the proposed project site, and identifies the direction of travel to and from the project site.
Raw, pre-adjustment, traffic model results used in the development of trip distribution percentages are presented in the technical appendix.
TRIP ASSIGNMENT
Traffic that would be generated by the proposed project was geographically distributed over the study area roadway network using the trip distribution percentages shown in Table 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18. Figure 19 and Figure 20 display the project-related-only traffic volumes for each study intersection in the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour. Figure 21 and Figure 22 display the resulting EPAP Plus Project traffic volumes anticipated for each study intersection in the peak hours. The a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour freeway ramp junction traffic volumes are presented in Figure 23 and Figure 24.

ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in roadway improvements needed to provide access to the project site. Improvements to project site access points are shown in the proposed project site plan presented in Figure 2 and project site frontage striping plan presented in Figure 3. These improvements have been previously described in more detail in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study.
Figure 21 and Figure 22 display the resulting EPAP Plus Project intersection lane geometrics for each study intersection. The resulting number of travel lanes assumed for study roadway segments and daily traffic volumes are shown in Table 17.
INTERSECTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 18 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study intersection under EPAP Plus Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, LOS at 11 of the 15 study intersections would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements would be needed at these 11 intersections to achieve acceptable LOS. The following describes the four study intersections that would operate at unacceptable LOS under EPAP Plus Project conditions.
3. Mariposa Road & 8th Street/Farmington Road
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS F with 109.3 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F with 145.8 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. Compared to EPAP No Project Conditions, the projectrelated increase in delay would be greater than five seconds during either the a.m. peak hour or the p.m. peak hour. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant. The following improvement is recommended to improve operating conditions to acceptable LOS and reduce the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies to a less than significant level:
Split the northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane into an exclusive northeastbound through lane and a “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound rightturn lane.
The above improvement would be consistent with the recommended improvement (described below) for Roadway Segment 105, Mariposa Road Between SR 99 and 8th Street/Farmington Road, to widen the portions of this roadway segment which are one lane in each direction to two lanes in each direction. The added southeastbound departure lane on Mariposa Road would serve vehicles departing the “free” northeastbound-to-southeastbound right-turn lane at this intersection.
Attachment F
963
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 73 July 9, 2021
The existing northeastbound combined through/right-turn lane is approximately 23 to 24 feet wide and the single southwestbound departure lane is approximately 21 to 22 feet wide. As a result, the existing pavement width on the southwest leg of this intersection is considered wide enough to accommodate the above improvement.

As shown in Table 19, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS D with 40.4 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS E with 73.2 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. As described in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, LOS D and E at this intersection are considered acceptable.
This recommended improvement is the same as the improvement recommended at this intersection for EPAP No Project conditions.
9. Mariposa Road & Carpenter Road
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS A with 3.7 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F with 63.9 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. Compared to EPAP No Project Conditions, the project-related increase in delay would be greater than five seconds during either the a.m. peak hour or the p.m. peak hour. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered significant. The following improvement is recommended to improve operating conditions to acceptable LOS and reduce the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies to a less than significant level:
Widen the northeastbound Carpenter Road approach. The approach is currently a single-lane approach. The approach should be widened to include an exclusive northeastbound-to northwestbound left-turn lane, and a combined through/right-turn lane.
As shown in Table 19, implementation of the above recommended improvement would improve traffic operations to LOS A with 2.9 seconds of delay in the a.m. peak hour and LOS D with 32.7 seconds of delay in the p.m. peak hour. LOS A and D are considered acceptable.
12. Arch-Airport Road & Qantas Lane
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this intersection would operate at LOS E with 61.7 seconds of delay during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C with 28.4 seconds of delay during the p.m. peak hour. LOS E is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under EPAP No Project conditions, and the project-related change in delay would not be greater than a five second increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.

No improvements would be needed on these 10 roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS.
The following two roadway segments would operate at unacceptable LOS. 105. Mariposa Road Between SR 99 and 8th Street/Farmington Road Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. LOS F is considered unacceptable.

RAMP JUNCTION LEVELS OF SERVICE
Figure 23 and Figure 24 present the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at the ramp junctions under EPAP Plus Project conditions. Table 21 presents the a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour LOS at each study ramp junction under EPAP Plus Project conditions. The worksheets presenting the calculation of LOS are included in the technical appendix.
Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, LOS at 10 of the 13 study ramp junctions would be at acceptable LOS D or better during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. No improvements would be needed on these 10 ramp junctions to achieve acceptable LOS. The following are the three ramp junctions that would experience unacceptable LOS. 201. SR 99 Southbound Weave Area Between Fremont Street and Crosstown Freeway Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this ramp junction would operate at LOS F during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS C during the p.m. peak hour. LOS F is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under EPAP No Project conditions, and the project-related change in freeway and ramp volumes would not be greater than a five percent increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.
205. SR 99 at Golden Gate Avenue Northbound On-Ramp Merge Under EPAP Plus Project conditions, this ramp junction would operate at LOS C during the a.m. peak hour, and LOS F during the p.m. peak hour.

INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR TRANSIT
Implementation of the proposed Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in an increase in demand for public transit service. Currently, there is limited direct public transit service to the vicinity of the project site, and the development of urban uses would result in an increase in demand. The frequency and proximity of future transit service is not known at this time and, as a result, demand for transit cannot be quantified. However, it is expected that SJRTD can accommodate the additional passengers the project would generate. This is considered a less-thansignificant impact. No mitigation measures are required
INCREASE IN DEMAND FOR BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in an increase in demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. As noted in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study, the proposed project includes sidewalks along the project site frontage of Mariposa Road.
Because sidewalks are not present along the Mariposa Road frontage of nearby properties, the sidewalks along the Mariposa Industrial Park project site frontage would be discontinuous in the near-term. In the longer-term, sidewalks along the project site frontage would incrementally improve the safety and convenience of bicycle and pedestrian travel along Mariposa Road. The City General Plan includes widening of Mariposa Road to four lanes in the future, and the Mariposa Industrial Park project site frontage improvements would contribute to a more continuous system of bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Mariposa Road. Therefore, the increase in demand for facilities is considered a less-than-significant impact. No mitigation measures would be required.

CUMULATIVE NO PROJECT CONDITIONS
The Cumulative No Project condition represents a long-term future background condition.
Development of approved and planned land uses and roadway improvements are assumed in this condition. The Cumulative No Project condition, therefore, serves as the baseline condition used to assess the significance of long-term project-related traffic effects.
The Cumulative No Project condition does not include development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project as proposed. Consistent with the approach described in the City of Stockton Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines (City of Stockton 2003), this scenario serves as baseline condition for determining project-related impacts, and the traffic analysis of this condition assumes land uses on the project site consistent with the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018a).
TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECASTS
As previously described in the Travel Forecasting section of this traffic impact study, the City of Stockton Travel Demand Model (City of Stockton 2018b) was used to develop forecasts of background increases in traffic volumes under Cumulative No Project conditions. The increases in traffic volumes reflect development of land uses consistent with approved land use designations.
The model was modified in the vicinity of the project site to add detail to the model and more accurately represent how land uses are provided access to the roadway network. Minor changes were also made to land uses in the model to reflect existing and planned development.
Application of the methods described in the Travel Forecasting section results in the daily traffic volumes presented in Table 22.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The analysis of Cumulative No Project conditions assumes roadway improvements consistent with the long-term future context. These include improvements from the City of Stockton General Plan (City of Stockton 2018b), and the Draft Environmental Impact Report - Mariposa Lakes Specific Plan - State Clearinghouse #2006022035 (City of Stockton 2007). The improvements include:
widening of Mariposa Road northwest of Carpenter Road to six lanes, widening of Mariposa Road southeast of Carpenter Road to four lanes, and widening of SR 99 from north of the Crosstown Freeway to south of Arch Road to eight lanes.
The resulting number of travel lanes assumed for study roadway segments are shown in Table

ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 22 presents a summary of LOS on the 12 study roadway segments under Cumulative No Project conditions. Ten of the roadway segments would operate at acceptable LOS D or better.
No improvements are needed on these 10 roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS. The following two roadway segments would operate at unacceptable LOS. 104. SR 99 Between Golden Gate Avenue and Mariposa Road Under Cumulative No Project condition, this roadway segment would operate at LOS E. LOS E is considered unacceptable. This roadway segment is already assumed to be eight lanes wide under Cumulative conditions. In the Transportation Concept Report State Route 99 (California Department of Transportation 2017), Caltrans describes the eight-lane width as the conceptual facility width, and this is considered to be the maximum feasible size in this traffic impact study.
Therefore, improvements are not recommended.
111. Arch-Airport Road, Between Qantas Lane and SR 99
Under Cumulative No Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. LOS F is considered unacceptable. The following improvement is recommended to improve LOS on this roadway segment:
Widen this roadway segment from six lanes to eight lanes.
Implementing this recommended improvement would result in this roadway segment operating at LOS E. This LOS is considered unacceptable. However, eight lanes is considered to be the maximum feasible width for this roadway segment. A summary of LOS with recommended improvements is presented in Table 23.

CUMULATIVE PLUS PROJECT IMPACTS
The analysis of Cumulative Plus Project conditions describes long-term traffic operations in the year 2040 assuming development of the proposed project. Comparing traffic operation under this condition to traffic operations under Cumulative No Project conditions allows an identification of the long-term project-related effects of the proposed project.
The development of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in vehicle traffic to and from the project site. Methods used to estimate project-related travel have been previously described in the Existing Plus Approved Projects Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Impacts section of this traffic impact study. Table 24 displays the resulting Cumulative Plus Project roadway segment daily traffic volumes.
Development of forecasts of future year background traffic volumes has been previously described in the Cumulative No Project Conditions section of this traffic impact study.
Project-related roadway improvements and future year background roadway improvements assumed in this analysis have been previously described in the Existing Plus Approved Projects Plus Mariposa Industrial Park Project Impacts and the Cumulative No Project Conditions sections of this traffic impact study.
ROADWAY SEGMENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
Table 24 presents a summary of LOS on the 12 study roadway segments under Cumulative Plus Project conditions. Nine of the 12 roadway segments would operate at acceptable LOS D or better. No improvements are needed on these nine roadway segments to achieve acceptable LOS. The following three roadway segments would operate at unacceptable LOS. 104. SR 99 Between Golden Gate Avenue and Mariposa Road Under Cumulative Plus Project conditions, this roadway segment would operate at LOS F. LOS F is considered unacceptable. However, LOS would also be unacceptable under Cumulative No Project conditions, and the project-related change in traffic volume would not be greater than a five percent increase. Therefore, based on criteria presented in the General Plan Policy Consistency Criteria section of this traffic impact study, the project-related inconsistency with General Plan policies is considered less than significant and no improvements are recommended.

VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
As noted earlier in the Significance Thresholds section of this traffic impact study, the effects of the proposed project on VMT are determined by comparing travel associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project as proposed to travel associated with development of the project site with the current General Plan land use designations.
As noted earlier in the Project Description section of this traffic impact study, the Mariposa Industrial Park project proposes industrial land uses on the project site. As also noted in the Project Description section, the project site currently has an Industrial land use designation in the City of Stockton General Plan. Therefore, in this traffic impact study, vehicle travel associated with the Mariposa Industrial Park project would be the same as the Industrial land uses currently designated in the City of Stockton General Plan. That is, implementation of the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in no net change from travel associated with the current General Plan-designated land uses.
VMT is calculated by multiplying the number of vehicle trips by the length of vehicle trips. As a result, a certain percent change in the number of vehicle trips would cause an equivalent change in VMT. Therefore, for the Mariposa Industrial Park project, a comparison of vehicle trips is considered equivalent to a comparison of VMT. Because the Mariposa Industrial Park project would result in no net change from travel associated with the current General Plan–designated land use, the project would result in no net change in VMT.
As described in the Vehicle Miles Traveled Significance Threshold section of this traffic impact study,
“Consistent with General Plan Action TR4.3A, if a project would result in a 15 percent or more reduction of vehicle travel, a project is considered to have a lessthan-significant impact. A project that would not result in a reduction of 15 percent or more is considered to have a significant impact.” Because the Mariposa Industrial Park project would not result in a 15 percent reduction in VMT, the project is considered to have a significant impact on VMT. Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce the impact of the project on VMT. The numbering of the following mitigation measures is from the document Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures - A Resource for Local Government to Assess Emission Reductions from Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures (California Air Pollution Control Officers Association 2010), which contains more detailed information on these measures. The numbering of the following mitigation measures is not sequential in this traffic impact study. The out-of-sequence numbering is provided below to allow direct reference to the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) document. The “TRT” acronym shown below is used in the numbering of the CAPCOA document and refers to Trip Reduction – Transportation.
Mitigation Measure TRT-1. Implement Commute Trip Reduction Program - Voluntary
The Mariposa Industrial Park project will implement a Commute Trip Reduction Attachment F
981
Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 91 July 9, 2021
(CTR) Program – Voluntary with employers to discourage single-occupancy vehicle trips and encourage alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, taking transit, walking, and biking. This is a multi-strategy program that encompasses a combination of individual measures.
The CTR program will provide employees with assistance in using alternative modes of travel, and provide both “carrots” and “sticks” to encourage employees.
The CTR program should include all of the following:
Carpooling encouragement
Ride-matching assistance
Preferential carpool parking
Flexible work schedules for carpools
Half time transportation coordinator
Vanpool assistance
Bicycle end-trip facilities (parking, showers and lockers) Other strategies may also include:
new employee orientation of trip reduction and alternative mode options, event promotions and publications,
flexible work schedule for all employees,
transit subsidies,
parking cash-out or priced parking,
shuttles,
emergency ride home, and
improved on-site amenities.
Mitigation Measure TRT-5. Provide End of Trip Bicycle Facilities The Mariposa Industrial Park project will provide "end-of-trip" facilities for bicycle riders including showers, secure bicycle lockers, and changing spaces.
End-of-trip facilities encourage the use of bicycling as a viable form of travel to destinations, especially to work. End-of trip facilities provide the added convenience and security needed to encourage bicycle commuting.
Mitigation Measure TRT-11. Provide Employer-Sponsored Vanpool/Shuttle The Mariposa Industrial Park project will implement an employer-sponsored vanpool or shuttle. A vanpool will usually service employees’ commute to work while a shuttle will service nearby transit stations and surrounding commercial centers. Employer-sponsored vanpool programs entail an employer purchasing or leasing vans for employee use, and often subsidizing the cost of at least program administration, if not more. The driver usually receives personal use of the van, often for a mileage fee. Scheduling is within the employer’s purview, and rider charges are normally set on the basis of vehicle and operating cost.

Mariposa Industrial Park Project Traffic Impact Study Page 92 July 9, 2021
Implementation of the measures listed above would reduce project-related VMT and reduce the significance of the impact on VMT. However, quantification of the reduction is not possible at this time. At the time this traffic impact study was prepared, potential occupants of the Mariposa Industrial Park project were not identified. While the type of land use is expected to be industrial, specific tenants were not known. As a result, the following factors which would affect the ability to implement VMT reduction measures are not known:
hours of operation, including times of the day when work shift would change; the portion of work positions which would be full-time versus part-time; feasibility of implementing flexible work schedules; and degree to which working remotely is feasible.
Because the potential occupants of the project are not known, it is not possible to establish an enforceable commitment to reduce VMT by more than 15 percent. As a result, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable.

ANNEXATION REPORT
MARIPOSA INDUSTRIAL PARK ANNEXATION
ANNEXATION FILE NO. ________
APRIL 4, 2022
1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT INFORMATION
This report provides background information and analysis in support of the proposed Mariposa Industrial Park annexation to the City of Stockton. The report addresses annexation compliance with applicable San Joaquin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) rules and regulations, describes the plan for provision of City services to the annexation area, analyzesthe fiscal effects of the annexation and documentsthe availability of adequate potable water supply to the project. The contents of this document are as follows:
1.0 Introduction and Project Information
2.0 Consistency of Proposed Annexation with LAFCo Policy
3.0 City Services Plan for Proposed Annexation Area
4.0 Fiscal Effects of Proposed Annexation
5.0 Availability of Adequate Water Supply
The Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation project proposes the annexation of nine parcels of land totaling approximately 203.5 acres into the City of Stockton (City), along with the adjacent Mariposa Road frontage. The proposed annexation area, hereinafter referred to as the “subject site,” is located along Mariposa Road north of North Littlejohns Creek (Figures 1 and 2). The Stockton city limits are on the southern boundary of the subject site.
The parcels constituting the subject site are identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 179-220-10, -11, -12, -13, -16, -17, -18, -19, and -24.
The subject site is currently within the land use jurisdiction of San Joaquin County; it has a County General Plan designation of Agriculture-Urban Reserve and a zoning designation of AG-40 (General Agriculture; 40-acre minimum parcel size). The subject site is designated Industrial in the City of Stockton General Plan, as is much of the surrounding area (Figure 3), much of which has been developed for industrial use (Figure 5). The subject site is within the City of Stockton's existing Sphere of Influence (Figure 4). The project includes a proposed amendment to the City’s Municipal Services Review document that will include the site within the City’s 10-year planning horizon.
The City has received and is processing an application for annexation, pre-zoning, and industrial development of the subject site, including preparation of an Environmental Attachment H 987
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 2
Impact Report (EIR). The project proposes to pre-zone the subject site as IL – Industrial, Limited. These approvals, which will take effect upon annexation of the subject site to the City, would permit proposed development of approximately 3,616,870 square feet of highcube warehousing or other light industrial land uses, off-site street and utility improvements, and associated on-site utility services and site improvements (Figure 6).
Proposed pre-zoning and development are consistent with the existing Industrial designation under the City’s General Plan. The City has prepared an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project.
2.0 CONSISTENCY OF PROPOSED ANNEXATION WITH LAFCO POLICY
REQUIREMENTS
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (California Government Code Section 56000 et seq.) provides LAFCo with its authority, procedures, and functions. The Act gives LAFCo power to “approve or disapprove with or without amendment, wholly, partially or conditionally,” proposals concerning the formation of cities and special districts, annexation or detachment of territory to/from cities and special districts, and other changes in jurisdiction or organization of local government agencies.
Criteria for project consistency with the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act are identified in California Government Code Section 56337 and shown below. The following sections of this report provides information in support of each of these findings for the proposed annexation as summarized below.
1) Lands within the annexation area are planned for urban uses in the Stockton General Plan.
As documented in Section 1.0 and shown on Figures 2 and 3, the subject site is designated “Industrial” in the City of Stockton General Plan and is adjacent to the Stockton city limits.
2) The project is located within the City of Stockton Sphere of Influence and 10-year development timeframe.
As documented in Section 1.0 and shown on Figure 4, the subject site is within the City’s Sphere of Influence and will be within the 10-year planning horizon upon adoption of a proposed amendment of the City’s Municipal Service Review. 3) The project proposes an orderly and logical boundary for annexation and is contiguous to the City limits.
As noted above, the project is in a developing industrial area and is designated for industrial development. As shown on Figure 5, the proposed annexation would permit a logical extension of existing ongoing industrial development in the southeast Stockton region.
4) The project creates a logical extension of the City boundaries and can be served by existing infrastructure.
Attachment H 988
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 3
As discussed in Section 1.0 and the above findings, the subject site is adjacent to the City boundary and represents a logical extension of those boundaries. All required City services and utilities are available to the subject site as described in Sections 3.0 and 5.0.
3.0 CITY SERVICES PLAN
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 56653, the San Joaquin LAFCo requires that any application for a change of organization or reorganization be accompanied by a plan for providing services. The plan must include the following information:
(a) An enumeration and description of the services to be extended to the affected territory.
(b) The level and range of those services.
(c) An indication of when those services can feasibly be extended to the affected territory.
(d) An indication of any improvements or upgrading of structures, roads, sewer or water facilities, or other conditions the local agency would impose or require within the affected territory if the change of organization or reorganization is completed.
(e) Information with respect to how those services will be financed.
The following City Services Plan meets the above requirements (a) through (d) with respect to annexation of the subject site. The subject site would require extension of existing City services, including public safety and utilities. Overall, existing public services, with improvements proposed as part of the project, would be adequate to serve the subject site and planned industrial development. The proposed level and range of services to be provided are described in more detail below. The design and construction of required infrastructure improvements, both on- and off-site, will be the responsibility of the project developers, as required by project conditions of approval and subject to engineering approval by the City. Information with respect to how those services will be financed is provided in Section 4.0, which will meet requirement (e) above.
The City of Stockton provides a full range of municipal services. These municipal services include public safety (police, fire, paramedics, building), sanitation (solid waste disposal, sanitary wastewater, and stormwater utility), potable water utility, community development, library, parks and recreation, and general administrative services. Public safety and general services will be extended to the subject site upon annexation. Utility services will be provided upon completion and connection of required on-site and off-site improvements.
3.1 DOMESTIC WATER SERVICE
Water systems in the City of Stockton Metropolitan Area use a combination of treated surface water and pumped groundwater from City wells. Stockton water purveyors include Attachment H 989
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 4
the City of Stockton Municipal Utilities Department (COSMUD), California Water Service Company, and San Joaquin County maintenance districts. Should the annexation be approved, water service to the subject site would be provided by COSMUD. COSMUD provides water to service areas in North Stockton and South Stockton; the subject site is in the South Stockton service area.
Sources of water provided by COSMUD include purchases from the Stockton East Water District (SEWD) and the Woodbridge Irrigation District, groundwater wells, and surface water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta through the City’s Delta Water Supply Project (DWSP). Water from SEWD is treated at its water treatment plant east of Stockton.
Prior to operation of the DWSP in 2012, the City’s planned delivery and allocation of SEWD treated water was 17,500 acre-feet per year, which was 37.6 percent of SEWD’s total supplies. The City currently uses 6,500 acre-feet per year from SEWD. By agreement, the City purchases 6,500 acre-feet of water per year from the Woodbridge Irrigation District for municipal and industrial use. This water will augment the DWSP supply.
The DWSP provides the majority of the potable water supply for the City’s service areas.
It draws water from the San Joaquin River and treats the water at a plant in north Stockton.
This plant currently treats an average of 30 million gallons per day (mgd). The projected 2035 capacity of the DWSP is 60 mgd, with an annual production of approximately 50,000 acre-feet per year. The City’s supply from the San Joaquin River is curtailed annually from February through June of each year due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The DWSP has the objectives of reducing groundwater overdraft and of protecting the underlying groundwater basin from further saltwater intrusion and water quality degradation. Extensive groundwater pumping in the past has caused movement of the saline waters eastward from under the Delta. With the DWSP now online, the City uses less groundwater in wet and average years, but it increases groundwater use in dry years to make up for reductions in surface water deliveries. The City has determined that the sustainable groundwater yield is 0.75 acre-feet per acre per year, equivalent to a groundwater yield of approximately 50,000 acre-feet per year. Based on available monitoring data, extraction rates appear to be below the maximum sustainable yield of the groundwater basin.
The South Stockton water system pumps from groundwater wells and receives surface water from the SEWD Water Treatment Plant, supplied in large part by the DWTP. There are seven active groundwater wells. with pump design flows ranging from 900 to 2,500 gallons per minute. There is also the South Stockton Aqueduct, which can supply surface water from the SEWD Water Treatment Plant.
The South Stockton water system distributes water from the DWSP, SEWD, and groundwater wells. The entire system is one pressure zone with the lowest elevation (5 feet above mean sea level) on the western side of the system and the highest elevation (30 feet above mean sea level) on the eastern side. Additionally, there are two tanks, each with a capacity of three million gallons, located near the Weston Ranch Subdivision in southwest Stockton. Distribution lines provide water service to the South Stockton area, serving Attachment H 990
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 5
development that includes the existing Norcal Logistics Center and the CDCR facilities near the subject site.
The subject site is currently within the service area for the Stockton potable water system, and connection to the system will be available upon annexation. An existing 24-inch diameter trunk line runs along Mariposa Road. On-site lines would be installed to provide water to future development, and the on-site water system would connect to the Mariposa Road line. The developer(s) will comply with plumbing, metering, and other water conservation measures in effect in the City of Stockton, including the policies in the City's 2015 UWMP. The existing water connection fee charged by COSMUD for non-residential development varies from approximately $2,264 to $156,828 or higher, depending on the size of the water meter.
The City prepared a Water Supply Assessment for the project in January 2021. The Water Supply Assessment was prepared in accordance with California Water Code sections 10910 through 10915, as established by Senate Bill (SB) 610, which requires detailed information regarding water supply availability to be provided to decision-makers prior to approval of specified large development projects. The project assessment projected potable demands for buildout of the project to be approximately 283 acre-feet per year. Pursuant to California Water Code Section 10910(4), and based on technical analyses, the Water Supply Assessment concluded that the COSMUD existing and additional planned future water supplies are sufficient to meet existing and future water demands associated with the project. Section 5.0, Availability of Adequate Water Supply, provides more detail on the Water Supply Assessment for the project.
3.2 WASTEWATER
The subject site is not presently connected to a wastewater collection and treatment system and contains no individual wastewater disposal systems. Should the annexation be approved, the subject site would be served by the City’s existing wastewater and collection system.
The Stockton Regional Wastewater Control Facility (RWCF) provides primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment of municipal wastewater gathered from the city as a whole. The RWCF has a designed flow capacity of 55 mgd and average daily flow rate of 31.7 mgd.
Treated effluent from the RWCF is dechlorinated and discharged to the San Joaquin River.
The RWCF operations are regulated by the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
The City’s wastewater collection system is divided into 14 designated subareas or “systems.” The subject site would upon annexation be incorporated within Wastewater Collection System No. 8. Pump stations are located throughout Stockton and are integral to the sanitary sewer collection system. Most of the pump stations discharge to pressure lines that convey flow directly to the RWCF or to an available gravity sewer.
An existing 24-inch sanitary sewer main, oriented from south to north, is located along the western boundary of the subject site south of Marfargoa Road. At Marfargoa Road, this main terminates at a manhole, from where a 42-inch diameter main continues east to west Attachment H 991
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 6
along Marfargoa Road. On-site sewer lines will be installed to provide service to future development, and the on-site system would connect to the existing 42-inch diameter main.
The subject site is within the South of Calaveras Sanitary Connection fee area. The existing sewer connection fee in that area is $2,850 per single family residential unit equivalent.
3.3 STORM DRAINAGE
The City of Stockton is situated just east of the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, a low-lying region of sloughs and channels connecting local waterways with the Suisun and San Francisco Bays. The city and surrounding areas depend on creeks, rivers, and sloughs to collect and convey storm runoff to the San Joaquin River and the Delta. The primary watercourses include the San Joaquin River, Bear Creek, Mosher Slough, Five Mile Slough, Fourteen Mile Slough, Calaveras River and Stockton Diverting Canal, Smith Canal, and French Camp and Walker Sloughs.
The subject site is within the North Littlejohns Creek watershed, which is tributary to French Camp Slough and the San Joaquin River. Most storm drains and pump stations within the service area have adequate capacity to collect stormwater drainage; however, North Littlejohns Creek flows at or near capacity that results in flooding of adjacent lands through most of its length during peak storm events. Recognizing this, stormwater detention infrastructure has been developed to serve existing industrial development in the area, such as the Norcal Logistics Center project north and west of the subject site.
The Stormwater Utility Division of COSMUD operates and maintains 620 miles of storm drains, 72 pump stations, and over 100 discharge pipes that collect and route runoff from the streets and gutters to local rivers, creeks, and sloughs. Most storm drains and pump stations have adequate capacity to collect stormwater Like other industrial development in the vicinity, subject site development will include new stormwater detention facilities, including an approximately seven-acre, on-site detention basin in the southern portion of the subject site. On-site runoff would be collected by a storm drainage system of inlets and lines and stored in the detention basin. The runoff in the basin would eventually be discharged through a metered outfall into North Littlejohns Creek, when capacity in the creek is available to avoid potential downstream flooding. On this basis, potential project impacts related to flooding are considered less than significant with implementation of proposed on-site storm drainage features and compliance with City standards.
Stormwater discharges from the Stockton urbanized area contain substantial urban runoff pollution. Five Mile Slough, Mosher Slough, the Stockton Deep Water Channel, and the San Joaquin River are listed as “water quality impaired”. The City of Stockton provides local management of the federal and state programs for implementation of the Clean Water Act’s NPDES program. Stormwater quality is governed by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order No. R5-2016-0040, NPDES No.
CAS0085324. The regulations of the City’s Grading and Erosion Control Ordinance and the Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance establish local oversight of the general permit system and effective control of storm water quality impacts. The design of drainage facilities is regulated by the City. The City Department of Public Works Standard Specifications Section 71, Sanitary Sewers and Storm Sewers, and Section 79, Attachment H 992
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 7
Storm Water Basins, cover much of the design criteria for these facilities. The City’s General Plan commits the City to maintaining the existing storm drain and flood management facilities.
The City’s General Plan includes policies that ensure and require that stormwater drainage planning be addressed in conjunction with new development, including requirements for inclusion of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that reduce stormwater runoff pollution.
Any costs associated with new facilities must be met or offset by the project, including costs of storm water BMP maintenance.
3.4 SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
City ordinance requires collection of municipal refuse. This ordinance would apply to development on the subject site upon annexation. The City’s franchise haulers provide solid waste collection in Stockton. The waste provider bills the property owner monthly for collection service, based on the size of collection container utilized. Industrial waste – such as construction and demolition debris and manufacturer waste – may only be collected and hauled with a valid City-issued Industrial Waste Collector Permit. There are currently two waste haulers permitted to collect and transport industrial waste within the City of Stockton limits: Republic Services and Waste Management.
Solid waste generated in the City of Stockton is disposed at existing County-owned and private landfill facilities. There is currently no shortage of space available at the Countyowned landfills, with one estimated to have available capacity to 2048 and another to 2082.
Recent information regarding individual jurisdiction diversion of solid waste from landfills is no longer available. The most recent information from 2006 indicates that about 33% of the City of Stockton’s solid waste is landfilled while the remainder is handled by one or more of the City’s waste diversion (recycling) programs. To increase construction and demolition debris recycling, the City adopted a Construction and Demolition Debris Ordinance in 2008; the ordinance requires construction and demolition contractors to divert from the landfill 50% of all waste generated, by weight, and to document these reductions in written reports filed with the City. Upon annexation of the subject site, construction associated with future development will be subject to this ordinance.
3.5 NATURAL GAS, ELECTRIC, TELEPHONE, AND CATV SERVICES Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) currently provides both natural gas and electricity services to the vicinity of the subject site. Local telephone service is provided by AT&T, and cable television service is provided by Comcast. These systems are obligated to extend service to the subject site on request. Developer/utility company costsharing agreements to provide these services will be executed as required.
3.6 POLICE PROTECTION
Law enforcement services to the subject site currently are provided by the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Department. Should the subject site be annexed, law enforcement would be the responsibility of the Stockton Police Department. The Police Department serves the area within City limits, covering more than 65 square miles. As of February 2021, the Attachment H 993
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 8
Police Department consists of 486 sworn officers, 47 police telecommunicators, and 179 civilian staff. The staffing level is determined each year by the Stockton City Council and is subject to change as the Council, City Manager, and Chief of Police determine the needs of the city.
The service area is organized into six Community Policing Districts, one of which (Park) is adjacent to the subject site. It is the Police Department’s policy to respond to all emergency calls within three to five minutes. Currently, there are no adopted service levels for the Police Department; however, it is understood that a higher level of service may be required as population increases. The project would receive law enforcement service during construction as well as upon completion of development.
Capital costs of Police Department expansion are accounted for by the City’s Public Facilities Fee program. The City of Stockton has adopted a Public Facility Fee for police facilities payable upon issuance of a building permit. For warehouse/low density land uses, the fee is $62 per 1,000 square feet. Additionally, Stockton’s voters approved Measure A, which instituted a three-quarter cent (0.75%) sales tax to provide funding for law enforcement, crime prevention services, and other essential City services. City voters also approved Measure W, which instituted a one-quarter cent (0.25%) sales tax to provide funding for law enforcement and fire protection services.
3.7 FIRE PROTECTION
The subject site is currently within the Montezuma Fire Protection District, which serves approximately 10 square miles within unincorporated San Joaquin County located adjacent to the southeast portion of Stockton. The Stockton Metropolitan Airport is also within the Montezuma Fire District service area.
Should annexation occur, the subject site would be detached from the Montezuma Fire District, and fire protection services would be the responsibility of the Stockton Fire Department. The Fire Department provides fire protection, fire prevention, paramedic emergency medical, and other related services to all areas of the City of Stockton, as well as on a contract basis to the Lincoln, Eastside, Boggs Tract, and Country Club Fire Districts. Specific services provided include fire hydrant maintenance, training, fire dispatch, hazardous materials intervention, and weed abatement services. The Fire Department currently serves an area of about 86 square miles and has about 181 total personnel.
The Fire Department currently has twelve stations located throughout the greater Stockton metropolitan area. On July 1st 2022 the Stockton Fire Department will be reopening Fire Station 1 at 1818 S. Fresno Ave. increasing the total number of fire stations to 13. The closest station to the subject site is Station 12, located at 4010 East Main Street, approximately four miles to the north of the site. The station is equipped with one engine and one grass rig, and is staffed by a captain, an engineer, and a firefighter. Two of the staff are also paramedics. The response time from Station 12 to a standard structure fire call would be between three and four minutes. Response times to the industrial area within which the subject site is located are currently longer – approximately 7-8 minutes. This response time is within the industry standard for Rural/Semi-Urban responses.
Attachment H 994
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 9
Additionally, to address the long-term Fire Protection and eventual area urbanization, the City of Stockton is currently working to establish a Community Facilities District (CFD) to fund the construction of a new Stockton Fire Station in the Mariposa corridor. The new station will be staffed with 3 personnel from the ongoing CFD assessment.
To provide adequate fire protection services, future development will coordinate with the Fire Department during planning and design phases to ensure site access, response time, sprinkler requirements, water system design, and hydrant placement are acceptable.
Improvements to the City of Stockton water system will also be constructed in conformance with the Uniform Fire Code fire flow standards, and hydrants will be placed in accordance with Fire Department standards. Also, the Stockton Fire Department participates in the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement. This agreement allows the City to share resources with all fire department agencies in San Joaquin County and request assistance from the County fire districts when additional services are required. The City currently provides most of the fire services within and around the City limits, since some of the County fire districts have reduced staffing, supply shortages, or operations on a temporary basis. The existing mutual aid agreement allows the City and County agencies to share resources when needed.
A mitigation measure in the Mariposa Industrial Park EIR requires new development on the subject site to install Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) fire sprinkler systems. The purpose of the ESFR systems is to allow for a variety of commodities to be capable of meeting high-bay storage up to five feet below roof deck. They are considered the best engineered fire protection system that the National Fire Protection Association recognizes, capable of flowing up to 100 gallons per minute per nozzle. Their design purpose is to completely extinguish the fire rather than controlling the spread of fire. Testing results from nationally recognized testing agencies have proven this.
As with police facilities, capital costs of fire station expansion are accounted for by the City’s Public Facilities Fee program. The City of Stockton has adopted a Public Facility Fee for fire stations payable upon issuance of a building permit. For warehouse/low density land uses, the fee is $54 per 1,000 square feet. As with other Public Facility Fees, these fees would be payable upon issuance of a building permit. In addition, as noted, City voters approved Measure W, which instituted a one-quarter cent (0.25%) sales tax to provide funding for law enforcement and fire protection services.
3.8 SCHOOLS
The subject site is within the boundaries of the Stockton Unified School District (SUSD).
The nearest public school to the subject site is Nightingale Charter School, a SUSD facility located at 1721 Carpenter Road approximately three miles to the northwest. SUSD experiences overcrowding in its schools but collects required school impact fees and coordinates with residential developers to ensure that sufficient capacity exists within the school system to accommodate residential-related student generation.
The subject site is proposed for industrial development and would result in no residential development or student generation. Nevertheless, the project would contribute developer fees from industrial development in accordance with State law. Based on a non-residential Attachment H 995
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 10
development rate of $0.61 per square foot, the project would generate an estimated $1,296,177 in school impact fees. Project development will contribute to these fees in conjunction with building permit issuance.
3.9 PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES
The City of Stockton provides park and recreational services. The nearest City Park to the subject site is Ernie Shropshire Park, on Logan Lane approximately two miles to the west.
Shropshire Park, a neighborhood park, is equipped with picnic tables, tot lots, a tennis court, a basketball court, and barbecue facilities. The Stockton General Plan establishes policies and standards for the size and siting of parklands.
San Joaquin County also provides parks and recreational facilities available to the public.
The nearest County park is the Regional Sports Complex, a facility with softball and soccer fields adjacent to Stockton Metropolitan Airport, approximately 1.25 miles south of the site, adjacent to SR 99.
No new residential development is proposed on the subject site. Public Facility Fees for parklands are only assessed on new residential development; industrial development as proposed is exempt from parkland fees. However, industrial development would be subject to the payment of Public Facility Fees for community recreation centers. As with other Public Facility Fees, these fees would be payable upon issuance of a building permit.
Additionally, Stockton’s voters approved Measure M, which instituted a one-quarter cent (0.25%) sales tax to provide funding for recreation and library services.
3.10 LIBRARIES
The public library system in the Stockton area is operated jointly by the City and San Joaquin County. The nearest library branch to the subject site is the Maya Angelou Branch Library at 2324 Pock Lane in Stockton, approximately 2.5 miles to the northwest. A new library is planned for construction in northeast Stockton adjacent to the Ronald McNair High School campus.
Capital costs of library expansion are accounted for by the City’s Public Facilities Fee program. The City of Stockton has adopted a Public Facility Fee for libraries payable upon issuance of a building permit. For warehouse/low density land uses, the fee is $56 per 1,000 square feet. Additionally, as noted, Stockton’s voters approved Measure M, which instituted a one-quarter cent (0.25%) sales tax to provide funding for recreation and library services.
3.11 MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC FACILITIES/OTHER GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES Mariposa Road, a public road abutting the northeastern boundary of the subject site, is currently maintained by San Joaquin County. This road is paved but does not have street improvements such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Proposed industrial development will require street improvements along the subject site frontage of Mariposa Road, including additional pavement width, curb, gutter, and sidewalk, all of which would be designed and constructed by the applicant pursuant to City of Stockton standards.
Attachment H 996
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 11
With increased vehicular traffic resulting from the development of the subject site, the need for road maintenance will increase. Future development will be responsible for payment of adopted Public Facility Fees for street improvements and traffic signals to fund intersection and roadway segment improvements identified in the City's Street Improvement Plan. For warehouse/low density land uses, street improvement fees are $931.50 per 1,000 square feet. Traffic signal fees would be $83.25 per 1,000 square feet. The City requires that these fees be paid prior to building permit issuance.
A Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) also will be required of future development on the subject site. The RTIF’s objectives are to generate funding from new development projects that impact the Regional Transportation Network and to integrate these funds with federal, state, and other local funding to make transportation improvements identified in the RTIF Program. Proposed improvements in the RTIF Program that are in the vicinity of the subject site include Arch-Airport Road from State Route 99 to Pock Lane and a Bus Rapid Transit project on the Arch Road/Sperry Road corridor. Assuming future development is high-cube warehouses as anticipated, the Regional Transportation Impact Fee would be $450 per 1,000 square feet.
Measure K was passed by voters in 1990 and extended for another 30 years by voter approval in 2006. This measure instituted a one-half cent (0.50%) sales tax dedicated to transportation improvement projects in San Joaquin County. Measure K funding is allocated to specific projects including improved highways and local streets, new passenger rail service, regional and interregional bus routes, park-and-ride lots, new bicycle facilities, and railroad crossings by the San Joaquin Council of Governments. San Joaquin County and cities within the County share 35% of the sales tax revenue for local street repair. The local jurisdictions receive an annual funding allocation for local street repairs and safety and operations improvements. The local share of Measure K funds is distributed by formula based primarily on the City’s proportionate share of the overall County population.
4.0 FINANCING OF CITY SERVICES AND FISCAL EFFECTS
California Government Code Section 56653 requires that the required plan for services to a subject site include information on how the extension services would be financed. For the purposes of this analysis, services extensions are classified as 1) public road improvements and utility services such as water, wastewater, storm water, electrical, gas and communication systems that require construction of new pipelines, power lines, pump stations or other physical facilities needed to extend urban services to the subject site, and 2) general City services such as police and fire protection would, generally speaking, be provided without major improvements to capital facilities. These concerns are addressed in the following Sections 4.1 and 4.2, respectively.
4.1 FINANCING OF ROADS AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Improvements needed to extend public road and utility services to the site would be constructed in conjunction with the development of proposed industrial structures, access, parking and other on-site improvements. These improvements would include off-site improvements to the frontage of Mariposa Road, any required extension of water and wastewater lines and electrical, gas and communication lines.
Attachment H 997
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 12
As prescribed in the project conditions of approval, the project will be responsible for design and construction of required improvements to City roads and utility systems in accordance with adopted City standards. Unless improvements are deferred per a specific agreement with the City, they will be constructed prior to occupancy of the project site.
The costs of extending electrical, gas and communication facilities will be borne by the project and the responsible franchise utility as prescribed in adopted rules and regulations.
Costs of operating public infrastructure for the benefit of the project will be met through existing monthly service fee systems established by the City and franchise utilities.
Long-term capital improvement needs associated with new development, including the proposed project, are met through the City's adopted Public Facilities Fees (PFFs), which provide for expansion of City offices, libraries, community recreation centers, fire and police stations, street improvements, park land, surface water resource development improvement, air quality, and related administrative costs as these needs are identified.
Similarly, the City has also adopted development fees for sanitary sewer and water connections, traffic signals, and street trees, and various local benefit district fees. PFF and connection fee payments are required when building permits are issued, in accordance with the City’s adopted fee schedule, which is annually updated to keep pace with infrastructure and public facility costs. As a result, the City operates from year to year with a fee structure that reasonably anticipates and collects fees sufficient to meet capital improvement needs associated with new development.
Along with the PFFs and connection fees, the City also collects development-related fees for the following:
• Agricultural Land Mitigation Program
• Air quality
• County facilities
• Habitat/Open Space for San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) • Surface water for SEWD ($0.283 per square feet of retail/0.30) • Related administrative costs
Table 1 summarizes the estimated development-related fees for the proposed development of the subject site. These include development impact fees collected by other agencies, such as the Stockton Unified School District and SJCOG. This information is also in Exhibit 7 of this City Services Plan.

Attachment H 998
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 13
4.2 FINANCING OF GENERAL SERVICES
This section describes the anticipated revenues to the City of Stockton, which would be the main provider of services. As noted above, the design, engineering, and construction of these services and infrastructure improvements will be financed by developers of the subject site, subject to approval by the City. This section also analyzes financial impacts on the Montezuma Fire District, which currently provides fire protection services to the subject site and from which the subject site would be detached upon annexation to the City.
4.2.1 Estimated Change in Annual Revenue for City of Stockton As a Charter City, the City of Stockton benefits from the same revenue sources as general law cities, as well as a utility user tax. The City receives a portion of the property tax collected within the City limits, and it receives franchise payments from electrical distribution, cable television and solid waste collection franchises. As discussed in Section
4.1, the City operates its public utilities (i.e., water and sanitary sewer) as enterprise functions, and it engages in public recreation activities on a quasi-enterprise basis, subsidized by its General Fund (e.g., golf courses, ice arena, civic auditorium).
The major sources of revenue that will be generated by the proposed future development for the City of Stockton General Fund are summarized in Table 2 below. Revenue estimates were generated primarily on a person-served basis, which accounts for project-related population and employee growth. Please see the attached Exhibits 1-6 for more information regarding the derivation of Table 3 calculations. More detailed information regarding specific sources of revenues is provided below.
Property Tax
Property tax rates are set at 1% of assessed property value. The potential property tax revenues resulting from the project were based on information provided by the project applicant and the current City/County Revenue Sharing Agreement for annexations. As shown in Exhibit 3, the estimated assessed valuation on the subject site with proposed development is $325,518,300.
Approximately 60% of every property tax dollar from the subject site is allocated among the Stockton Unified School District, San Joaquin Delta Community College, and the State’s educational fund. This leaves an “available share” of approximately 40% of the overall property tax revenue, which is divided between the County General Fund, the Montezuma Fire District, and other County agencies. This division of the property tax is the basis for estimating the property tax the City will receive upon annexation and development of the subject site (see Exhibit 3).
Based upon information from the San Joaquin County Auditor-Controller’s Office, upon annexation, approximately 20% of total property tax revenue from the subject site would go to the City. Based on this and the anticipated valuation of the subject site once fully developed, the property tax amount that would be collected by the City would be approximately $821,298 (see Exhibit 3). Current property taxes paid to the County General Fund on the subject site are approximately $33,170.

Property transfer taxes are taxes charged as a percentage of the value of property that has a transfer of title. It is estimated that the amount of property transfer tax the City would receive after annexation of the subject site would be $11,295. Exhibit 3 provides details on the property transfer tax estimate.
In 2004, the State Legislature and the Governor agreed to a swap of city and county vehicle license fee revenue for an additional share of property tax revenue to be provided to the local governments. This Property Tax in-Lieu of Motor Vehicle Fees is a substantial source of revenue based on property taxes. It is estimated that the amount of property tax in-lieu of motor vehicle fees associated with the subject site would be $420,871. See Exhibit 3 for development of this estimate.
Attachment H 1000
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 15
Sales Tax
The current sales tax rate in the City of Stockton is 9.00%, with the City receiving 2.25% of taxable sales, 1.25% of which is a result of measures approved by City voters (Measure A – 0.75%, Measure W (police and fire) – 0.25%, Measure M (library and recreation) –
0.25%). The proposed development is not a commercial land use and therefore would not directly generate sales tax. However, employees working at the proposed development would generate sales tax revenue through local spending. It is estimated that sales tax generated by employee spending would be approximately $55,736. See Exhibit 4 for development of this estimate, along with Exhibit 6 for estimates of revenues from voterapproved measures.
In addition, the City collects sales tax revenue from Proposition 172, approved by California voters in 1993. Proposition 172 imposes a one-half cent sales tax to provide revenues for public safety services. It is estimated that sales tax generated by Proposition 172 would be approximately $13,934. See Exhibit 4 for development of this estimate.
Utility User Tax
A utility user tax is levied against utility charges for all non-public users of gas, electric, water, telephone, and cable television services. This tax is 6% of a customer’s monthly bill.
As noted in Table 2 above, future development on the subject site would generate an estimated $137,119 annually in utility user tax revenues. See Exhibit 5 for how the estimate of utility user tax revenue was developed.
Franchise Tax
Franchise taxes are levied upon the providers of natural gas, electric, refuse removal and cable television service. The franchise tax, which is 2% for most utilities and 3% for cable TV, is levied upon the provider rather than the customer and is charged against all utility revenues. The anticipated future development on the subject site would generate approximately $66,262 in franchise tax revenue annually (see Exhibit 1).
Business License Tax
The City of Stockton assesses a business registration fee and a license tax on any person engaged in or carrying on any profession, trade, calling, occupation, or business in the City.
Beyond a registration fee of $24, businesses are assessed at varying rates based typically on their gross receipts; gross receipts information for the annexation area is unknown.
Future development on the subject site is estimated to yield an annual business license tax revenue of $38,710 (see Exhibit 1).
Other Revenue Sources
The City has a variety of other revenue sources, which are listed in the City’s budget. These include licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, charges for services, motor vehicle inlieu revenues, and revenues from fire service contracts, among others. Table 2 and Exhibit 1 list these other sources. No estimates were developed for subject site revenues from these Attachment H 1001
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 16
sources, in part because not all these revenue sources would be associated with annexation and development of the subject site.
4.2.2 Estimated Change in Annual Expenditures for City of Stockton As discussed in Section 4.1, immediate and future capital costs of the project would be met through developer improvements to public road and utility systems and through payment of the City PFFs and connection fees. The project is industrial in nature and would not result in increases in the resident population of Stockton, with concurrent costs in providing City services. However, the addition of project-related employees would contribute to the “service population” of the City, which could contribute to service costs.
Preliminary work done for the Mariposa Industrial Park EIR indicates that impacts of proposed future development on the City’s water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage systems would be less than significant. The City’s sanitary sewer system has adequate capacity to accommodate additional wastewater from the project, and existing sewer lines in the area can carry the anticipated flow. The City’s water system has sufficient supplies to satisfy potential project demand, and no new supplies would need to be obtained. In accordance with City requirements, the project developer would construct the necessary improvements and connections to the City’s water and sewer systems and storm drainage facilities to accommodate runoff in accordance with City standards. Expenses to operate the required City utilities to the subject site are expected to be minimal and would be covered by monthly utility billing to the project activities.
The Draft EIR also concluded that impacts of the Mariposa Industrial Park project on public services provided by the City, primarily fire and police protection, would be less than significant with the installation of the fire sprinkler systems required by the City.
Expenses to provide City fire and police services to the subject site are also expected to be minimal.
The project would place an incremental demand on the City for future fire and police services, the project in and of itself would not result in a need for new or expanded fire facilities and services. Future capital costs for these services would ordinarily be met through payment of PFFs. However, the Stockton Fire Department is experiencing increased demand for fire protection and related services in the south Stockton industrial areas as a result of ongoing industrial and other development. City departments, including Fire, Community Development and Finance, together with industrial project proponents, are engaged in planning for financing, construction and staffing of a new fire station serving the south Stockton industrial areas, including the proposed project site.
Development and implementation of the plan will involve a multi-year process helping the Department meet increasing service demands and reduce response times (Chief Edwards, pers. comm.). Nonetheless, the City and the Mariposa Industrial Park project applicant are in discussions as to how the proposed project could facilitate development of the new fire station.
The proposed annexation would include approximately 750 feet of Mariposa Road frontage. Improvements would be installed along this frontage and are likely to include widening, turn lanes, acceleration and/or deceleration lanes, shoulders, and intersection Attachment H 1002
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 17
improvements at the proposed entry, including street lighting and signage. The frontage improvements would be funded by the developer. The annexed frontage would increase costs to the City for ongoing maintenance. A rough approximation of the increased maintenance cost was obtained by dividing the total miles currently maintained by the City of Stockton into total street maintenance cost, then applying the results to the segments to be annexed. According to the FY 2020/21 budget for the City of Stockton, the City maintains 763 miles of streets at a cost of $12,996,825. Based on these figures, the additional cost to maintain the annexed frontage would be approximately $2,420 annually.
This cost may increase if more of the segment of Mariposa Road fronting the subject site is annexed than proposed. Road maintenance costs are met from a variety of sources.
The project is not expected to result in additional costs for schools or parks and recreation, as the project would not increase the resident population. Nonetheless, the project would contribute to future school and park capital needs through payment of school mitigation fees and park and recreation PFFs.
An approximation of maximum potential increases in City services costs associated with the project was calculated by dividing total general fund expenditures by the City service population, and by multiplying that factor by the increase in service population on the subject site. The per-unit cost factor would be $587.92. The expected increase in service population would be 1,531 (see Exhibit 2). Therefore, potential service costs to the City would be approximately $900,106. See Exhibit 8 for a development of the expenditure estimate for the subject site.
4.2.3 Overall Impact of Project on City Budget
As indicated in Table 2, proposed future development of the subject site is expected to generate approximately $1,624,287 in annual revenues to the City. With estimated annual expenditures of $900,106, the City would have adequate annual revenues to provide services to the subject site. In addition, as indicated in Table 1, proposed future development would generate $5,997,979 in one-time impact fees to the City to cover expenses associated with new or expanded public facilities and services. Additional fees would be paid to SUSD and SJCOG.
In summary, the City would be expected to expect to receive substantial revenues from proposed development of the subject site, while the expenses incurred in providing City services to the subject site would be less than the anticipated revenues. Thus, at the project level, the City would likely operate at a budget surplus.
4.3 PROPERTY TAX IMPACT TO THE MONTEZUMA FIRE DISTRICT
Based on information provided by the County Auditor-Controller' s Office, the Montezuma Fire District currently receives approximately 10.4 percent of the general one-percent property tax levy from the subject site. Based on the most current information from the County Auditor-Controller, this generates approximately $2,913 of property tax revenue for the Fire District, based on current valuation of the property. Upon annexation and development of the subject site, the assessed valuation of the site would increase substantially. However, as a part of the annexation process, the subject site would Attachment H 1003
Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 18
be detached from the Fire District, and the Fire District would no longer receive tax revenue from the site.
In comments on another proposed annexation, the Fire Chief of the Montezuma Fire District stated that he looks for the Fire District to be made whole for any loss of revenue resulting from annexation. Also, LAFCo policy dictates that adverse fiscal impacts resulting from such detachments from special districts or annexations that fail to provide adequate mitigation of the adverse impact on the district will not be approved. It is expected that the City and the Fire District will reach an agreement that will reduce adverse revenue impacts on the Fire District resulting from the proposed annexation. LAFCo may determine an appropriate temporary mitigation, if any, and impose that temporary mitigation to the extent it is within its powers.

Mariposa Industrial Park Annexation Report Page 19
5.0 AVAILABILITY OF ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY
As noted, California Government Code Section 56668(l) requires an assessment of the timely availability of water supplies for an annexation area. The UWMP for the City of Stockton’s water system assessed the reliability of its water supply for its service area, which includes the subject site. The UWMP includes a description of the water supply sources, projected water use, and a comparison of water supply water demands during normal, single-dry, and multiple-dry years. The definitions of the three water year scenarios, as described by the State Department of Water Resources, are provided below.
1. Average year is a year, or an averaged range of years in the historical sequence that most closely represents median water supply availability to the agency.
Normal and average are used interchangeably within the Department of Water Resources guidebook.
2. Single dry year is the year with the lowest water supply availability to the agency.
3. Multiple dry year is the lowest average water supply availability to the agency for a consecutive multiple-year period (three years or more) for a watershed since 1903.
As part of the UWMP, a Water Supply Reliability Assessment was conducted to determine the reliability of the City’s water supply for all three water year scenarios from 2020 to 2040. This Water Supply Reliability Assessment is currently the most up-to-date and reliable source of information regarding the City’s long-term water supplies and their reliability. Under the normal water year scenario, water supply would exceed demand by 34,546 to 50,351 acre-feet per year. Under the single dry water year scenario, supply would exceed demand by 30,546 to 44,351 acre-feet per year. Under the third year of a multiple dry year scenario, supply would exceed demand by the same amounts as in the single dry year scenario.
As noted in Section 3.1, Domestic Water Supply, the City conducted a Water Supply Assessment for the proposed project in January 2021. Under SB 610, a Water Supply Assessment is required for a proposed industrial, manufacturing, or processing plant, or industrial park planned to house more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet of floor area. The purpose of the Water Supply Assessment is to demonstrate the sufficiency of the purveyor’s water supplies to satisfy the water demands of the proposed project, while still meeting the water purveyor’s existing and planned future uses. COSMUD is the purveyor for this project.
The Water Supply Assessment determined that COSMUD’s water supply would exceed the projected water demand by the amounts in the UWMP described above. Updated water use factors based on recent water consumption trends within the COSMUD service area were used to determine the projected water demand for the Proposed Project, which is equal to 283 acre-feet per year. Based on this information, the Water Supply Assessment concluded that the project could be adequately served by COSMUD from its existing and future water supplies without requiring additional supplies or entitlements.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated for reference purposes as of _____________, 2022 (“Agreement Date”), is entered into by and between GREENLAW DEVELOPMENT, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”) and the CITY OF STOCKTON, a California municipal corporation (“City”). Developer and City are sometimes referred to individually herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
R E C I T A L S
This Agreement is entered into on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions of the Parties. The following recitals are a substantive part of this Agreement; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are defined in Article 1 of this Agreement.
A. In order to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic costs and risks of development, the Legislature of the State of California enacted section 65864 et seq. of the Government Code (“Development Agreement Statute”), which authorizes a city and a developer having a legal or equitable interest in real property to enter into a binding, long-term development agreement, establishing certain development rights in the property.
B. In accordance with the Development Agreement Statute, the City Council has adopted a development agreement ordinance codified as Chapter 16.128 of the City’s Municipal Code (“Development Agreement Ordinance”), which authorizes the execution of development agreements and sets forth the required contents and form of those agreements. The provisions of the Development Agreement Statute and the City’s Development Agreement Ordinance are collectively referred to herein as the “Development Agreement Law.” C. Developer holds a legal or equitable interest in that certain approximately 203-acre real property, as defined by Government Code subsections 65865(a) and (b), located within the unincorporated area of the County of San Joaquin (the “County”) commonly known as the Mariposa Industrial Park (the “Property”). The Property is currently comprised of nine (9) separate parcels bearing Assessors Parcel Numbers 179-220-100, 179-220-110, 179-220-120, 179- 220-130, 179-220-160, 179-220-170, 179-220-180, 179-220-190, and 179-220-240. The Property is more particularly described and depicted in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein.
D. Not later than fourteen (14) days following its execution of this Agreement, the City will submit an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (“LAFCO”) to annex the Property into the City (the “Annexation Proceedings”). The potential environmental impacts from development of the Property were evaluated by the City, in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), in that certain Environmental Impact Report for the Mariposa Industrial Park (State Clearinghouse No. 2020120283) certified by the City on __________, 2022 (the “MIP EIR”). Development of the Property as described in the MIP EIR, with the modifications requested by the County shown on Exhibit B hereto, is referred to herein as the “Project.”
E. This Agreement sets forth, among other things, the applicable fees, policies Attachment J 1030
and zoning requirements that apply to development of the Property, and is intended by the City and Developer to provide Developer with vested rights to develop the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Consistent with the State policy expressed by Government Code section 65864, this Agreement is intended to reduce the uncertainty of the planning and entitlement process which can result in waste of resources and escalation of development costs; provide certain assurances to Developer that upon successful completion of the Annexation Proceedings Developer may proceed with development of the Property in accordance with the Project Approvals and Applicable Law (as defined herein) and subject to the terms of this Agreement; strengthen the public planning process; encourage private participation in comprehensive planning; and reduce the economic costs of development.
F. The Planning Commission on February ___, 2022, recommended, by adoption of Resolution No. _______, that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Make the appropriate written findings relating to significant environmental impacts, adopt a statement of overriding considerations, adopt a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan, and certify the MIP EIR, all in accordance with the applicable requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines.
2. Adopt an ordinance authorizing the City to execute this Agreement and allow structures of up to 100 feet tall on the Property G. Prior to its approval of this Agreement, the City Council took the following actions to review and plan for the future development and use of the Property (collectively, the “Existing Approvals”):
3. Made written findings relating to significant environmental impacts, adopted a statement of overriding considerations, adopted a mitigation monitoring and reporting plan, and certified the MIP EIR, all in accordance with the applicable requirements of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines.
4. Adopted Ordinance No. ______, authorizing the City to execute this Agreement and allowing for structures of up to 100 feet tall on the Property.
H. Under this Agreement, Developer will provide substantial public benefits to the City through its development of the Property and the Project as described herein, including:
1. The Project will, at no cost to the City, fund the preparation of a Rate and Method of Apportionment and other formation documents to support the formation of a Community Facilities District to support the design, construction, staffing, operation and maintenance of critical fire and police protection facilities for the Mariposa Industrial Park area and surrounding areas in south Stockton and its sphere of influence and, if the City establishes such Community Facilities District, the Property will participate in the Community Facilities District.
2. The Project will generate short-term construction jobs related to Property development, including Property grading, infrastructure and building construction, and long-term Attachment J 1031
employment-generating uses in the industrial components of the Project consistent with City objectives for creating employment opportunities for residents.
3. The Project will implement the City’s General Plan land use and economic development policies designed to attract employment- and tax-generating businesses that support and promote the economic diversity of the City (General Plan Policy LU-4.2).
I. As provided in Article 6 of this Agreement, the Parties intend to work in good faith to consider potential use of public financing under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code sections 53311 et seq.) (“Mello-Roos Act”) for certain Public Benefit Facilities needed in connection with the Project. The financing of such facilities through a MelloRoos Act community facilities district would fulfill the express legislative goals of the Development Agreement Statute; strengthen the public planning process by linking development rights to financing of public facilities; encourage participation by private landowners in the comprehensive planning required by such financing; reduce economic risk and costs of development by spreading the costs of needed facilities over time; and allow Developer, in exchange for voluntary participation in such financing programs, to proceed with development in accordance with existing City policies, rules and regulations.
J. For the reasons recited herein, City and Developer have determined that the Project is a development for which this Agreement is appropriate. This Agreement will eliminate uncertainty regarding Project Approvals, thereby encouraging planning for, investment in, and commitment to use and development of the Property.

Attachment J 1038
Applicable City Regulations. City and Developer acknowledge and agree that, per the Development Agreement Statute, City is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the particular limitations, reservations and exceptions set forth in this Agreement are intended to reserve to City those selected police powers that cannot be so limited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing reservations and exceptions, it is the intent of City and Developer that this Agreement be construed to provide Developer with rights afforded by law, including but not limited to, the Development Agreement Statute. Therefore, the laws, rules, regulations, official policies, standards and specifications of City applicable to the development of the Property and Project shall be, collectively, the following “Applicable City Regulations”:
4.2.1 Project Approvals and Agreement. Those rules, regulations, official policies, standards and specifications of the City set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement, including without limitation the right to construct structures of up to one hundred (100) feet tall on the Property;
4.2.2 City Rules as of Effective Date. With respect to matters not addressed by and not otherwise inconsistent with the Project Approvals and this Agreement, those laws, rules, regulations, official policies, standards and specifications (including City ordinances and resolutions) in force and effect on the Effective Date governing permitted uses, building locations, timing and manner of construction, densities, intensities of uses, heights (as set forth herein) and sizes, subdivisions and requirements for on- and off-site infrastructure and public improvements, including the City’s zoning development standards applicable to the Project and the Property. In the event of a conflict between the City Rules described in this Section 4.2.2 and the Project Approvals or this Agreement, such conflict shall be resolved in favor of the Project Approvals or this Agreement.
4.2.3 Procedural Rules. New City Laws that relate to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of procedure imposed at any time, provided such New City Laws are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties.
4.2.4 Building Codes. New City Laws that revise City’s uniform construction codes, including City’s building code, plumbing code, mechanical code, electrical code, fire code, grading code and other uniform construction codes, as of the date of permit issuance, provided, that such New City Laws are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties;
4.2.5 Public Health and Safety. New City Laws that are necessary to protect physical health and safety of the public; provided, that such New City Laws are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties;
4.2.6 New City Laws Not in Conflict. New City Laws that do not materially interfere with Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement or the Project Approvals;
4.2.7 New City Laws Mandated by Changes in Applicable Law. New City Laws mandated by Changes in Applicable Law as provided in Section 4.5 below; and Attachment J 1039
4.2.8 Other New City Laws. New City Laws that do not apply to the Property and/or the Project due to the limitations set forth above, but which the Parties mutually agree in writing shall be incorporated into the Applicable City Regulations.
Life of Project Approvals. The term of any and all Project Approvals shall automatically be extended for the longer of the Term of this Agreement or the term otherwise applicable to such Project Approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act, any vesting or tentative maps heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Project or the Property shall be extended for the Term (and may be subject to other extensions provided under the Subdivision Map Act). In the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Term, the term of any Project Approval and the vesting period for any subdivision map approved as a Project Approval shall be the term otherwise applicable to the approval, which shall commence to run on the date that the Project Approval was issued. If upon expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement and the Project Approvals, Developer has not developed the entirety of the Property consistent with this Agreement and the Project Approvals, then the City Council, in its discretion, at any time may change the underlying and use designations or entitlements applicable to the parcels comprising such Property consistent with all Applicable Laws and procedures.
Timing of Development. City and Developer acknowledge that Developer cannot at this time predict what portions of the Project will be included within any phase of the Project, when or the rate at which the phases will be developed or the order in which each phase will be developed. Such decisions can depend upon numerous factors that are not within the control of Developer, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption rates of residential units, availability of financing and other similar factors. In particular, and not in any limitation of any of the foregoing, since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. The Town of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties therein to consider and expressly provide for the timing of development resulted in a lateradopted initiative restricting the timing of development prevailing over such parties’ agreement, it is the desire to avoid that result by acknowledging that, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Developer’s vested rights under this Agreement include the right to develop the Property and the Project in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate in the exercise of its discretion, subject to the terms, requirements and conditions of the Existing Approvals and this Agreement, including provisions addressing required phasing of on- and off-site public improvements.
Changes in Applicable Law. As provided in Section 65869.5 of the Development Agreement Law, this Agreement shall not preclude the applicability to the Project of changes in laws, regulations, plans or policies, to the extent that such changes are specifically mandated and required by (i) changes in State or Federal laws or (ii) any regional governmental agency that, due to the operation of State law (and not the act of City through a memorandum of understanding, joint exercise of powers authority, or otherwise that is undertaken or entered into following the Effective Date) (“Changes in Applicable Law”). In the event Changes in Applicable Law prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith in order to determine whether such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended, or performance thereof delayed, as may be necessary to comply with Changes in Applicable Law. Following the meeting between the Attachment J 1040
Parties, the provisions of this Agreement may, to the extent legally feasible, and upon mutual agreement of the Parties, be modified or suspended, but only to the minimum extent necessary to comply with such Changes in Applicable Law. In such event, this Agreement together with any required modifications shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Developer from contesting by any available means (including administrative or judicial proceedings) such Changes in Applicable Law or their applicability to the Project.
ARTICLE 5.

All City PFF Impact Fees are subject to a 3.5% Administrative Fee at the time of fee collection.
On the first anniversary of the Annexation Date and every twelve (12) months thereafter until expiration of the Impact Fee Lock Period, all City PFF Impact Fee Rates are subject to a two percent (2%) inflationary increase adjustment. Developer agrees that City shall not be bound by the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) with respect to such Impact Fees. Developer hereby further waives and releases any claims it may have to challenge the legality of the imposition, use or expenditure of the Impact Fees collected by City during the Impact Fee Lock Period on the grounds that City’s imposition, use or expenditure of such fees violates one or more requirements or limitations imposed by the Mitigation Fee Act or any other provision of Applicable Law.
Following expiration of the Impact Fee Lock Period, City may charge and, subject to Developer’s right to pay under protest and pursue a challenge in law or equity to any new or increased Impact Fees, Developer shall pay any and all Impact Fees imposed by City, including new Impact Fees adopted after the Annexation Date; provided, however, City shall only require Developer to pay new Impact Fees (including increases in existing Impact Fees) that are uniformly applied by City to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties. To the extent Developer has earned PFF Credits for completed public improvements, City shall apply such accrued PFF Credits toward PFF Impact Fees payable by Developer until such PFF Credits are exhausted. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the application and administration of PFF Impact Fees to and for the Property shall be as set forth in the normally applicable requirements of the Stockton Municipal Code.
Other Applicable City Fees. Except as explicitly excluded by this Agreement, City may charge, and Developer agrees to pay, all Processing Fees, Connection Fees, and all passthrough fees collected by the City on behalf of other outside agencies, based on fee rates established by said outside agencies that are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties.
Consultant Fees. In addition to charging the foregoing Processing Fees, City, in its reasonable discretion and following consultation with Developer, may contract with one or more outside inspectors, engineers or consultants to perform all or any portion of the monitoring, inspection, testing and evaluation services to be performed in connection with construction and development of the Project (“Consultant Fees”). Developer shall pay to City, within thirty (30) days following City’s written demand therefor and the City’s submission of invoices, the full amount of all Consultant Fees, plus a fifteen percent (15%) administration charge. The Consultant Fees, together with the associated administrative charge, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Processing Fees; provided, however, City agrees not to doublecharge Developer (through the imposition of both a Processing Fee and Consultant Fee) for any individual monitoring, inspection, testing or evaluation service.
Attachment J 1042
ARTICLE 6.
CFD FOR FIRE STATION FACILITY
CFD Formation. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to establish a Community Facilities District consistent with the provisions of Section 7.2.2 of this Agreement, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act and the City’s Capital Financing and Debt Management Policy for the design and construction of a fire station to provide fire protection services to the Property and surrounding areas within the City of Stockton and its sphere of influence, consistent with this Agreement, the Project Approvals and Applicable Law.
Funding for CFD Formation. Developer shall fund the analysis and preparation of a Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”) and formation documents for a Community Facilities District (South Stockton Industrial/Commercial Services and Maintenance District) (the “CFD”) consistent with the provisions of Section 7.2.2, in an amount not to exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).
Developer’s Cooperation and Consent. Regarding formation of a Community Facilities District consistent with the provisions of Section 7.2.2 of this Agreement, Developer will (i) execute all necessary petitions and ballots and waive all election waiting and protest periods at City’s request; (ii) support City’s adoption of local policies related to use of said Community Facilities District financing; (iii) allow special tax liens to encumber the Property to accomplish the goals of the Community Facilities District; (iv) be deemed to have irrevocably consented to formation of the Community Facilities District, issuance of Community Facilities District bonds, and the imposition of a special tax against the Property at rates and pursuant to a method of apportionment appropriate to fund the debt service on any Community Facilities District bonds sold to finance the construction of the fire station; and (v) agree not to protest or object to formation of the Community Facilities District or levy of an appropriate special tax consistent therewith.
ARTICLE 7.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Compliance with Applicable Law. Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with requirements of, and obtain all permits and approvals required by Applicable Law, including requirements of regional, State and Federal agencies having jurisdiction over the Project.
Community Benefits. The Project will afford the City the following public benefits, which could not be secured from Developer in the absence of the Project and this Agreement:
7.2.1 The Project will generate short-term construction jobs related to the development of the Property and the Project, including Property grading, infrastructure and building construction, and long-term employment-generating uses in the industrial and office components of the Project, consistent with City objectives for creation of employment opportunities for residents.
Attachment J 1043
7.2.2 Not later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Developer shall pay to City $60,000 to fund the analysis and preparation of a Rate and Method of Apportionment (“RMA”) and formation documents for a Community Facilities District (South Stockton Industrial/Commercial Services and Maintenance District) (the “CFD”). Should the costs of preparing the RMA and formation documents exceed $60,000, Developer shall provide additional funding, but the total of Developer’s funding for the RMA and the formation documents (including Developer’s $60,000 initial funding payment) shall not exceed $100,000.
The primary purposes of the CFD are to provide funding for the construction, staffing, equipment, and maintenance for a fire station with a police substation office (the “Station”).
The current estimated construction cost for the Station is $10 million, and the total of the currently estimated annual staffing, equipment, and maintenance costs for the Station is $3.0 million ($2.2 million for staffing and $0.8 million for equipment and maintenance costs).
The annexation area for the CFD will include all currently unapproved commercial and industrial development and parcels within the service area of the Station, both within City limits and that may be annexed into City limits in the future. The CFD will be formed to levy a facilities special tax with a fixed duration, and a services special tax that will continue in perpetuity.
As a condition of the Project approval, Developer shall cooperate with City in the formation of the CFD, based on the RMA and formation documents and on the terms and conditions described above, and in compliance with the requirements of the Mello – Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code §§ 53311 et seq.), including without limitation affirmative votes and the recordation of a Notice of Special Tax Lien.
7.2.3 The Project will implement the City’s General Plan land use and economic development policies designed to attract tax-generating businesses that support the economic diversity of the City (General Plan Policy LU-4.2).
7.2.4 Developer will guarantee certain levels of funding for the Station. If on the fifth anniversary of the Annexation Date the CFD has not collected $1,500,000 in special taxes from all parcels within the CFD, then Developer is obligated to make a payment to the CFD, that payment amount being $1,500,000 less any special taxes already collected by the fifth anniversary of the Annexation Date. Additionally, if on the tenth anniversary of the Annexation Date the CFD has not collected $3,000,000 in special taxes from all parcels in the CFD, then Developer is obligated to make a payment to the CFD, that payment amount being $3,000,000 less all special taxes already collected by the tenth anniversary of the Annexation Date and less any payments previously made by Developer pursuant to this Section 7.2.4. Both the fifth and tenth anniversary payments are separate, independently occurring, obligations. Payments, if obligated, become due 30 days after the respective anniversary date. If the CFD has not been formed on the date that a Developer payment becomes due under this Section 7.2.4, then Developer shall make the payment or payments to the City.
Attachment J 1044
ARTICLE 8.
COOPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
Subsequent Approvals. Certain subsequent land use approvals, entitlements, and permits other than the Existing Approvals (collectively, “Subsequent Approvals”), will be necessary or desirable for implementation of the Project. The Subsequent Approvals may include the following ministerial and discretionary applications and permits: amendments of the Existing Approvals, grading permits, building permits, sewer and water connection permits, certificates of occupancy, lot line adjustments, site plans, development plans, land use plans, building plans and specifications, parcel maps and/or subdivision maps, conditional use permits, design review, demolition permits, improvement agreements, encroachment permits, and any amendments to, or repealing of, any of the foregoing. In connection with any Subsequent Approval, the City shall exercise its discretion in accordance with Applicable Law, the Project Approvals and, as provided by this Agreement, including the reservations of authority set forth herein.
Processing Applications for Subsequent Approvals.
8.2.1 Processing Consistent with Vested Rights. With the Existing Approvals, City has made a final policy decision that the Project is in the best interests of the public health, safety and general welfare. Applications for Subsequent Ministerial Approvals that are consistent with this Agreement and the Existing Approvals shall be processed and considered in a manner consistent with the vested rights granted by this Agreement and shall be deemed to be tools to implement those final policy decisions, and shall be approved by City so long as they are consistent with this Agreement and the Existing Approvals. While City expressly reserves its discretion with respect to all Subsequent Discretionary Approvals, City agrees that it shall not use its authority in considering any application for a Subsequent Discretionary Approval to change the policy decisions reflected by the Existing Approvals, including changing the permitted uses of the Property or the permitted rate of development, or otherwise to prevent development of the Project as set forth in the Existing Approvals.
8.2.2 City Discretion. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of City to require the necessary reports, analysis or studies to assist in determining that the requested Subsequent Ministerial Approval is consistent with this Agreement and the Existing Approvals.
If the City determines that an application for a Subsequent Ministerial Approval is not consistent with this Agreement or the Existing Approvals and should be processed as an application for a Subsequent Discretionary Approval rather than a Subsequent Ministerial Approval, the City shall specify in writing the reasons for such determination and may propose a modification which would be processed as a Subsequent Ministerial Approval. Developer shall then either modify the application to conform to this Agreement and the Existing Approvals, as the case may be, or the City shall process the application as an application for a Subsequent Discretionary Approval.
Mitigation Measures. To the extent applicable, Developer shall comply with the mitigation measures in the MIP EIR, which reflect the mutually agreed-upon timing of specified improvements and Developer’s pro rata share of funding, where applicable.

Annual Review. As required by California Government Code Section 65865.1 and pursuant to Section 16.128.110 of the Development Agreement Ordinance, the City of Stockton Planning Commission shall review this Agreement and all actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the development of the Project every twelve (12) months to determine good faith compliance with this Agreement (“Annual Review”). Specifically, the Annual Review shall be conducted for the purposes of determining good faith compliance with the terms and/or conditions of this Agreement. Each Annual Review shall also document the status of Project development. In the event the Planning Commission recommends modification or termination of this Agreement in connection with such Annual Review, the action to effectuate such modification or termination must be taken by City Council.
Conduct of Annual Review. The annual review shall be conducted as provided in this Section 10.2. By December 1st of each year, Developer shall provide documentation of its good faith compliance with this Agreement during the calendar year, including a completed annual review form in a form reasonably specified by City from time to time. The information required to be provided as part of the annual review may include, among other items, the status of Project construction and the status of building permit issuances. If the City Manager finds good faith compliance by Developer with the terms of this Agreement, Developer shall be notified in writing and the review for that period shall be concluded. If the City Manager is not satisfied that Developer is performing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City Manager shall prepare a written report specifying why the Developer may not be in good faith compliance with this Agreement, refer the matter to the City Council, and notify Developer in writing at least fifteen (15) business days in advance of the time at which the matter will be considered by the City Council. This notice shall include the time and place of the City Council’s public hearing to evaluate good faith compliance with this Agreement, a copy of the City Manager’s report and recommendations, if any, and any other information reasonably necessary to inform Developer of the nature of the proceeding.

Developer shall be given an opportunity to be heard at the hearing. The findings of the City Council on whether Developer has complied with this Agreement for the period under review shall be based upon substantial evidence in the record.
If the City Council determines, based upon substantial evidence, that Developer has complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the review for that period shall be concluded. If the City Council determines, based upon substantial evidence in the record, that Developer has not complied in good faith with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or there are significant questions as to whether Developer has complied with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the City Council, at its option, may continue the hearing and may notify Developer of the City’s intent to meet and confer with Developer within thirty (30) days of such determination, prior to taking further action. Following such meeting, the City Council shall Attachment J 1048
resume the hearing in order to further consider the matter and to make a determination regarding Developer’s good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Failure to Conduct Annual Review. Failure of City to conduct an annual review shall not constitute a waiver by the City of its rights to otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement nor shall Developer have or assert any defense to such enforcement by reason of any such failure to conduct an annual review.
ARTICLE 11.
MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
Mortgagee Protection. Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach hereof shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any Mortgage made in good faith and for value. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Developer, at its sole discretion, from granting one or more Mortgages encumbering all or a portion of Developer’s interest in the Property or portion thereof or improvement thereon as security for one or more loans or other financing, but all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against and shall run to the benefit of Mortgagee who acquires title or possession to the Property, or any portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Developer shall provide the City with a copy of the deed of trust or mortgage within ten (10) days after its recording in the official records of San Joaquin County; provided, however, that Developer’s failure to provide such document shall not affect any Mortgage, including without limitation, the validity, priority or enforceability of such Mortgage.
Mortgagee Not Obligated. No Mortgagee (including one who acquires title or possession to the Property, or any portion thereof, by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) shall have any obligation to construct or complete construction of improvements, or to guarantee such construction or completion; provided, however, that a Mortgagee shall not be entitled to devote the Property to any use except in full compliance with this Agreement and the other Project Approvals nor to construct any improvements thereon or institute any uses other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement, or otherwise under the Project Approvals. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.2, all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Project Approvals shall be binding upon and effective against and shall run to the benefit of any person or entity, including any Mortgagee, who acquires title or possession to the Property, or any portion thereof.
Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If City receives a notice from a Mortgagee requesting a copy of any Notice of Default given Developer hereunder and specifying the address for service thereof, then City agrees to use its diligent, good faith efforts to deliver to such Mortgagee, concurrently with service thereon to Developer, any Notice of Default given to Developer. Each Mortgagee shall have the right during the same period available to Developer to cure or remedy, or to commence to cure or remedy, the event of Default claimed or the areas of noncompliance set forth in City’s Notice of Default. If a Mortgagee is required to obtain Attachment J 1049
possession in order to cure any Default, the time to cure shall be tolled so long as the Mortgagee is attempting to obtain possession, including by appointment of a receiver or foreclosure, but in no event may this period exceed 120 days from the date the City delivers the Notice of Default to Developer.
No Supersedure. Nothing in this Article 11 shall be deemed to supersede or release a Mortgagee or modify a Mortgagee’s obligations under any subdivision or public improvement agreement or other obligation incurred with respect to the Project outside this Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Article 11 constitute an obligation of City to such Mortgagee, except as to the notice requirements of Section 11.3.
ARTICLE 12.

Any amendment which is not a Major Modification shall be deemed a “Minor Modification” and shall not, except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law, require notice of public hearing before the Parties may execute an amendment hereto. The City Manager or his or her designee shall have the authority to determine if an amendment is a Major Modification or a Minor Modification.

Attachment J 1050
ARTICLE 13.
ASSIGNMENT
General. Because of the necessity to coordinate development of the entirety of the Property pursuant to plans for the Project, certain restrictions on the right of Developer to assign or transfer its interest under this Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, are necessary in order to assure the achievement of the goals, objectives and public benefits of the Project and this Agreement. Developer agrees to and accepts the restrictions set forth in this Article 13 as reasonable and as a material inducement to City to enter into this Agreement.
Notice of Assignment. Developer shall provide the City with written notice of any proposed transfer or assignment of Developer’s rights or obligations hereunder (each, an “Assignment”) at least thirty (30) days prior to such Assignment and request City’s consent to such Assignment, as provided herein. Each such notice of proposed Assignment shall be accompanied by evidence of the corporate, limited liability company or other legal entity’s existence and good standing and a proposed form of Assignee’s assumption of Developer’s obligations hereunder substantially in the form of Exhibit C, which would be recorded in the Official Records of San Joaquin County concurrent with the transfer. Developer shall pay the actual costs borne by City in connection with its review of the proposed Assignment, including the costs incurred by the City Attorney’s Office.
Assignment Processing. Notwithstanding any other limitations in this Article 13, Developer may, upon provision of Notice, execution of an agreement documenting such Assignment in accordance with Section 13.2, and provision of evidence of entity formation and good standing, at any time, assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Property without the consent of City to any person, partnership, joint venture, firm, company, corporation or other entity (any of the foregoing, an “Assignee”) acquiring all or a portion of the Property.
Release of Transferring Developer. Upon a transfer of all or a portion of the Property, Developer shall be released from any further liability or obligations hereunder with respect to the portion so transferred and the Assignee shall be deemed to be the Developer under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Property as specified in the assignment and assumption agreement provided: (i) neither Developer nor Assignee is in default under this Agreement at the time of such transfer; (ii) Developer and Assignee have executed and acknowledged and delivered to City for recordation in the Official Records of the County an assignment and assumption agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto; and (iii) the Assignee has expressly assumed for the benefit of City the obligations of Developer as to the portion of the Property so transferred. No release of Developer shall be effective unless and until each of the above conditions have been met. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if an Assignee Defaults under this Agreement, such Default shall not constitute a Default by Developer (or any other Assignee) with respect to any other portion of the Property hereunder and shall not entitle City to terminate or modify this Agreement with respect to such other portion of the Property.
Attachment J 1051
Partial Assignment. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 13, in the event of a transfer of a portion of the Property, Developer shall have the right to assign its rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement that are applicable to the transferred portion, and retain all rights, duties and obligations applicable to the retained portions of the Property.
Upon Developer’s request, City, at Developer’s expense, shall cooperate with Developer and any proposed Assignee to allocate rights, duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Project Approvals between the assigned portion of the Property and the retained Property. Assignee shall succeed to the rights, duties and obligations of Developer only with respect to the parcel or parcels, or portion of the Property so purchased, transferred, ground leased or assigned, and Developer shall continue to be obligated under this Agreement with respect to any remaining portions of the Property retained by Developer and not assigned.
Successive Assignment. In the event there is more than one Assignment under the provisions of this Article 13, the provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to each successive Assignment and Assignee.
Other Permitted Transfers. The provisions in this Article 13 shall not be deemed to prohibit or otherwise restrict Developer from (i) granting easements or licenses or modifying existing easements to facilitate development of the Property consistent with the Project Approvals; (ii) encumbering the Property or any portion hereof or of the improvements thereon by a Mortgage securing financing with respect to the Property or Project; or (iii) transferring all or a portion of the Property pursuant to a foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure, or other remedial action in connection with a Mortgage, or to any transferee from a Mortgagee or owner of the Property upon foreclosure or after a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
ARTICLE 14.
DEFAULT; REMEDIES; TERMINATION
Breach and Default. Subject to Permitted Delays or by mutual consent in writing, and except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, breach of, failure, or delay by either Party to perform any term or condition of this Agreement shall constitute a “Default.” In the event of any alleged Default of any term, condition, or obligation of this Agreement, the Party alleging such Default shall give the defaulting Party notice in writing specifying the nature of the alleged Default and the manner in which the Default may be satisfactorily cured (“Notice of Breach”).
The defaulting Party shall cure the Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Notice of Breach, provided, however, if the nature of the alleged Default is non-monetary and such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, then the commencement of the cure within such time period, and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure thereafter at the earliest practicable date, shall be deemed to be a cure, provided that if the cure is not diligently prosecuted to completion, then no additional cure period shall be provided. If the alleged failure is cured within the time provided above, then no Default shall exist and the noticing Party shall take no further action to exercise any remedies available hereunder. If the alleged failure is not cured, then a Default shall exist under this Agreement and the non-defaulting Party may exercise any of the remedies available under this Agreement. Further, as provided in Section 13.6 above, following transfer of all or any portion of the Property and an assignment or a partial assignment of this Agreement to an Assignee, a Default by such Assignee under this Agreement shall not constitute a Default by Developer (or any other Assignee) and shall not entitle City to terminate Attachment J 1052
or modify this Agreement with respect to any portion of the Property retained by Developer.
Withholding of Permits. In the event of a Default by Developer (where the determination of such Default has been made by the City Council based on substantial evidence presented at a noticed public hearing), City shall have the right to refuse to issue any permit or other Subsequent Approvals to which Developer would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to this Agreement until such Default is cured. This provision is in addition to and shall not limit any actions that City may take to enforce the conditions of the Project Approvals.
Termination. In the event of a Default by a Party, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon giving notice of intent to terminate pursuant to Government Code section 65868 and regulations of City implementing such section. Following notice of intent to terminate, the matter shall be scheduled for consideration and review in the manner set forth in Government Code section 65867 and City regulations implementing said section. Following consideration of the evidence presented in said review before the City Council, a Party alleging Default by the other Party may give written notice of termination of this Agreement to the other Party. Termination of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of Section 14.9. Where Developer is the defaulting Party and Developer has previously conveyed portions of the Property and partially assigned this Agreement to one or more third party transferees, City’s right to terminate this Agreement shall be limited to those portion(s) of the Property then owned by Developer.
Specific Performance for Violation of a Condition. If City issues a Project Approval pursuant to this Agreement in reliance upon a specified condition being satisfied by Developer in the future, and if Developer then fails to satisfy such condition, City, in addition to its other rights and remedies available under public improvement agreements, performance bonds or other instruments, shall be entitled to specific performance for the purpose of causing Developer to satisfy such condition.
Legal Actions.
14.5.1 Institution of Legal Actions. In addition to any other rights or remedies and subject to the limitation of damages in Section 14.7, a Party may institute legal action to cure, correct or remedy any Default, to enforce any covenants or agreements herein, to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation thereof, or to obtain any other remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Any such legal action shall be brought in the Superior Court for San Joaquin County, California, except for actions that include claims in which the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of the State of California has original jurisdiction, in which case the Eastern District of the State of California shall be the proper venue.
14.5.2 Acceptance of Service of Process. In the event that any legal action is commenced by Developer against City, service of process on City shall be made by personal service upon the City Clerk of City or in such other manner as may be provided by law. In the event that any legal action is commenced by City against Developer, service of process on Developer shall be made by personal service upon Rob Mitchell, Greenlaw Development, LLC, who is an agent of Developer for service of process, or in such other manner as may be provided by law.
Attachment J 1053
Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise by a Party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same Default or any other Default by the other Party, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
No Money Damages. In no event shall a Party, or its boards, commissions, officers, agents or employees, be liable in money damages, including without limitation, actual, consequential or punitive damages, for any Default under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the sole legal remedy available to a Party for a breach or violation of this Agreement by the other Party shall be an action in mandamus, specific performance or other injunctive or declaratory relief to enforce the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, or to terminate this Agreement. This limitation on damages shall not preclude actions by a Party to enforce payments of monies or the performance of obligations requiring an obligation of money from the other Party under the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, obligations to pay attorneys’ fees and obligations to advance monies or reimburse monies. In connection with the foregoing provisions, each Party acknowledges, warrants and represents that it has been fully informed with respect to, and represented by counsel of such Party’s choice in connection with, the rights and remedies of such Party hereunder and the waivers herein contained, and after such advice and consultation has presently and actually intended, with full knowledge of such Party’s rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to waive and relinquish such rights and remedies to the extent specified herein, and to rely to the extent herein specified solely on the remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of this Agreement by the other Party.
Surviving Provisions. In the event this Agreement is terminated, neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those obligations of City and Developer set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.2.
ARTICLE 15.

Attachment J 1055
A Party’s financial inability to perform or obtain financing or adverse economic conditions generally shall not be grounds for claiming a Permitted Delay. The Party claiming a Permitted Delay shall notify the other Party of its intent to claim a Permitted Delay, the specific grounds of the same and the anticipated period of the Permitted Delay within thirty (30) business days after the occurrence of the conditions which establish the grounds for the claim. If notice by the Party claiming such extension is sent to the other Party more than thirty (30) days after the commencement of the cause, the period shall commence to run only thirty (30) days prior to the giving of such notice. The period of Permitted Delay shall last no longer than the conditions preventing performance. In no event shall any Permitted Delay extend the Term of this Agreement.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Waivers. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any failures or delays by any Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any such rights or remedies, or deprive any such Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies. A Party may specifically and expressly waive in writing any condition or breach of this Agreement by the other Party, but no such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision.

STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION TO CERTIFY THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH #2020120283), STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS, AND
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR A PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AT 5110, 5150, 5268, 5280, AND 5290 MARIPOSA ROAD, 4500 EAST CLARK ROAD, AND 4600 AND 4610 MARFARGOA DRIVE (APPLICATION NO. P20-0805)
On October 19, 2020, the applicant, Greenlaw Partners, LLC submitted a request for a Development Agreement and Prezoning of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 179- 220-10; -11; -12; -13; -16; -17; -18; -19; -24 to the Industrial, Limited (IL) zoning designation for the purposes of future industrial development. The nine (9) legal parcels combined total approximately 203.48 acres and would be developed for future industrial and warehouse uses. While the design and size of the future buildings will be determined in the subsequent Site Plan Review and Design Review processes required prior to construction, at full buildout, these facilities could total approximately 3.6 million square feet distributed amongst seven (7) buildings; and
On December 14, 2020, a Notice of Preparation (NOP) was distributed for public review and comment, to evaluate if an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would be required for the project, and what should be evaluated. The State Clearinghouse subsequently transmitted the NOP to State agencies on December 16, 2020. The City’s NOP period closed on January 12, 2021, and the State Clearinghouse review period closed on January 14, 2021; and
A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the project, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and distributed locally and through the State Clearinghouse for agency and public comments between August 24, 2021, through October 7, 2021. The Draft EIR identified potentially significant environmental impacts which could occur from development of the Project, and where feasible, application of mitigation measures that would reduce the impacts to a level of less than significant; and
The Draft EIR addressed environmental impacts associated with the proposed Project that are known to the City, and that were raised during the NOP process, or that were raised during the preparation of the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR discussed potentially significant impacts associated with; Aesthetics and Visual Resources; Agricultural Resources; Air Quality; Biological Resources; Cultural Resources/Tribal Cultural Resources; Geology and Soils; Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Noise; and Transportation.
After analysis, mitigation measures were applied to lessen any significant impacts that resulted from the annexation and prezone request; and
1080
No new significant environmental impacts or issues, beyond those already covered in the Mariposa Industrial Park DEIR, were raised during the 45-day comment period. Responses to comments received during the comment period do not involve any new significant impacts or add “significantly new information” that would require recirculation of the DEIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15088, all substantive comments are responded to in the Final EIR. Comments received were from; and
A total of six (6) written communications, were received during the review period, from: the California Air Resources Board, received October 8, 2021; the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, received October 7, 2021; the California Department of Justice, received October 7, 2021, the Montezuma Fire District, received January 7, 2022; the San Joaquin County, received January 7, 2022; and the Sierra Club, Motherlode Chapter, received January 17, 2022; and
Each of the comments has been responded to by the City’s environmental consultant as part of the Final EIR, and, where appropriate, modifications have been made to the Draft EIR. Most impact issue areas will be less than significant with mitigation. For this, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has also been prepared; and
The Draft EIR also determined that there are six (6) potential environmental effects of the Mariposa Industrial Park Project, that are potentially significant and unavoidable, or cannot be mitigated to a Less than Significant or substantially reduced by the available mitigation measures documented in the EIR, and that require a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). The SOC describes the anticipated economic, legal, social, technological and/or other benefits or considerations that warrant the City Council’s decision to approve the project, even though all the environmental effects of the project are not fully mitigated; and The significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the SOC relate to Agricultural Land Conversion, impacts to Air Quality Plans and Standards, Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Criteria Pollutants, Project Greenhouse Gas Construction Emissions, Increase in Noise Levels in Excess of Standards related to Traffic, and Impact of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Because no other feasible mitigation measures are available for these items, the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations with supportive findings; and
In accordance with CEQA Guidelines sections 15092, 15093, and 15094, the Planning Commission must consider the EIR before acting on the Project. An approval recommendation to certify the EIR and Statement of Overriding Considerations is presented, including the adoption of a corresponding Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The Planning Commission is requested to make a recommendation to the City Council to certify the EIR and adopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations per the CEQA Findings; and
1081
On March 10, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the application, in compliance with SMC Section 16.88.040, at which point all persons wishing to be heard were provided such opportunity; and At the March 10, 2022, public hearing, and prior to acting on this request, the Planning Commission considered and recommended certification of an EIR (SCH #2020120283) prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
On April 19, 2022, the City Council convened a public hearing regarding the Planning Commission’s decision. In such meeting, the City Council considered the requested recommendations of the Planning Commission based on the findings indicated in said resolution; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by this reference.
2. Based on its review of the entire record herein, the City Council finds:
a. A Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Project, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). b. The Draft EIR identified potentially significant environmental impacts which could occur from development of the Project, and, where feasible, application of mitigation measures that would reduce the impacts to a level of less than significant.
c. Potentially significant environmental impacts identified where mitigation measures were not feasible, resulting in the creation of potentially significant and unavoidable environmental impacts. Most potentially significant effects were identified and paired with feasible mitigation measures to reduce them to less than significant levels.
d. A Statement of Overriding Considerations is needed to accommodate the six (6) significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the SOC relating to 1) Agricultural Land Conversion, 2) Air Quality Plans and Standards, 3) Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Criteria Pollutants, 4) Project Greenhouse Gas Construction Emissions, 5) an Increase in Noise Levels in Excess of Standards related to Traffic, and 6) the Impact of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). Because no other feasible mitigation measures are available for these items, the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations with supportive findings. 1082
(1) Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the March 10, 2022 Planning Commission staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents, and all comments received, the City Council finds that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Mariposa Industrial Park project (SCH #2020120283) has been completed in accordance with the requirements of the California Quality Act (CEQA), CEQA Guidelines, and Stockton Municipal Code (SMC) Section 16.88.040 (Environmental Determination); and (2) The City Council finds that the EIR has been presented to it, that the Planning Commission has reviewed the EIR and has considered the information contained in the EIR prior to recommending certification to the City Council on the proposed Project, and that the EIR reflects the City Council and Planning Commission’s independent judgement and analysis; and
(3) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164, and in support of approval of the Project, the City Council certifies the Environmental Impact Report, attached as Exhibit 1, including its accompanying Statement of Overriding Considerations, attached as Exhibit 2, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, attached as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein; and
,
(4) The City Council hereby authorizes the Community Development Department, upon approval of the Project, to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk of San Joaquin County and State Office of Planning and Research pursuant to CEQA section 21152; and
(5) Pursuant to CEQA section 15091(e), the documents and other materials that constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based are located in and may be obtained from, the Office of the City Clerk at 425 N. El Dorado Street, 1st Floor, Stockton, CA 95202; the City Clerk is the custodian of records for all matters before the City Council.

Dear Nicole Moore:
Thank you for providing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with the opportunity to comment on the Mariposa Industrial Park Project (Project) Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), State Clearinghouse No. 2020120283. The Project is proposed within the City of Stockton (City), California, which is the lead agency for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) purposes.
As part of the Project, the City plans to annex approximately 203 acres of land from the County of San Joaquin. Once annexed, the City will rezone the Project site from General Agriculture to Industrial Limited to construct and operate seven light industrial buildings totaling 3,616,870 square feet. Although the Project’s future occupant(s) are unknown, the City expects that the proposed light industrial buildings would be occupied by a high-cube warehouse operator(s). Anticipated uses of the proposed light industrial buildings may include transload, short-term storage, cold storage, fulfillment center, or parcel hub uses.
Once in operation, the Project is expected to generate 12,370 daily vehicle trips; the DEIR did not specify the number of daily truck trips out of the total daily vehicle trips that would serve the Project.
If approved, the Project will expose nearby communities to elevated levels of air pollution beyond the existing baseline emissions at the Project site. Residences are located north, east, and west of the Project, with the closest homes located within 50 feet of the Project’s western boundary. In addition to residences, Hamilton Elementary School, Monroe Elementary School, and Montezuma Elementary School are located within 2 miles of the Project. These residences are already exposed to toxic diesel particulate matter (diesel PM) emissions generated by existing industrial buildings, vehicle traffic along State Route 99 (SR99), and rail traffic along existing rail lines.
The State of California has placed additional emphasis on protecting local communities from the harmful effects of air pollution through the passage of Assembly Bill 617 (AB 617) (Garcia, Chapter 136, Statutes of 2017). AB 617 is a significant piece of air quality legislation that highlights the need for further emission reductions in communities with high exposure burdens, like those in which the Project is located. Diesel PM emissions generated during the construction and operation of the Project would negatively impact neighboring communities, which are already impacted by air pollution from existing industrial buildings, vehicle traffic along SR-99, and local rail traffic.
