STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION CERTIFYING AN ADDENDUM TO TO THE CANNERY PARK ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH #2003042022) FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CANNERY PARK MIXED USE PROJECT LOCATED ON MULTIPLE PARCELS AT 3827 PFC JESSE MIZENER STREET (APNs 122-020-32, -33, -38 and -60) (P21-0435)
In 2004, the City approved the Cannery Park Cannery Park Mixed Use Project which consisted of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), General Plan Amendment, Eight Mile Road Specific Plan Amendment, Annexation, Prezoning Development Agreement, and a Small and Large lot Tentative Map. These entitlements permitted Holman Investors, LLC, (“Applicant”) to construct a mixed-use development on a 448-acre site planned for industrial, commercial retail and office, parks, schools, 1,100 single family and 210 multi-family residential units. Since the original Project approval, progress has been made to construct the single-family units; however, the industrial, retail, and office zones areas of the Project remain undeveloped; and Citing a change in the retail and office economic markets and the State’s current housing crisis, the Applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment, Rezone, Development Agreement Amendment (extend existing by 10 years), and a Tentative Map to convert a 99.87-acre portion of the existing Cannery Park mixed use Project’s commercially zoned areas into 334 additional single family homes and to relocate approximately 12-acres of high-density residential zoned areas adjacent to the commercial areas fronting Eight Mile Road. The proposed Tentative Map also includes retention of 16 commercial lots, a 3.34-acre detention basin, and a new ±4-acre neighborhood park (linear/tot lot); and As the proposed Project amends a portion of the original EIR project area, an addendum to the original EIR (SCH # 2003042022), for the original Cannery Park mixed use Project was prepare in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) State Guidelines section 15164. The addendum analyzed the conversion of the regional commercial areas to single family homes and concluded that the proposal did not result in substantial changes or create new significant environmental effects beyond what was anticipated in the original EIR; and On February 8, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council certify the EIR Addendum and approve the General Plan Amendment, Rezone, and Development Agreement; and //
