SECTION I. PREZONING CLASSIFICATION
The City Council hereby adopts a Prezoning Ordinance, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and Prezoning map, attached hereto as Exhibit 1a, for the Prezoning of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 084-050-01; -02; -03; -06; -07; -08; -14; -25; -26; -27; -28; and 084-030-04, presently located in the County of San Joaquin, State of California, which will be hereby reclassified, upon annexation to the City of Stockton, to a mix of Residential, Low (RL), Residential, Medium (RM), Residential, High (RH) density and Public Facilities (PF) zoning.
Pursuant to SMC Section 16.116.050(B), Mandatory Findings of Fact for All Amendments, all of the following findings of fact, as applicable to this type of amendment, shall be made to approve an amendment:
The proposed Prezoning action ensures and maintains internal consistency with the general land uses, objectives, policies, programs, and actions of all elements of the General Plan on balance. The 2040 General Plan Land Use Map designates the subject site Residential. Pursuant to Table 2-1 (General Plan Relationship to Development Code) of the General Plan, the RL, RM and RH Zones are compatible with the General Plan Land Use Map designation of Residential. PF zoning is compatible with residential projects and is used for park and open space zoning.
The proposed Prezoning action would not create any inconsistencies with SMC Title 16 (Development Code) since it pertains to the Zoning Map only. The text of Title 16 (Development Code) would remain unchanged under this action.
The Project is consistent with the 2040 General Plan Land Use Map designation of Low, Medium and High Density Residential, Public Facilities, and Institutional land uses applicable to the site. The project also furthers General Plan policies such as: Goal LU-6: Provide for orderly, well-planned and balanced development. With the adoption of a companion Zoning Map Amendment, the Project would not create any inconsistencies with the Development Code; Policy LU-6.3: Ensure that all neighborhoods have access to well-maintained public facilities and utilities that meet community service needs; Goal, HE-2: Provide a range of housing types, densities, designs, and meet existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of Stockton; and Policy HE-2.3: The City shall encourage and provide opportunities for a variety of housing types that provide market rate, affordable housing opportunities and promote balanced mixed-income neighborhoods. All of this is accomplished in a development proposal that is compliant with applicable development standards within SMC Title 16 (Development Code) and the proposed Planned Development Permit request.
The proposed Prezoning action will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the City because the RL, RM, RH and PF Zoning designations will, as noted above, be compatible with General Plan Land Use Map designation applicable to the site.
The proposed Prezoning action complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An environmental assessment for the LeBaron Ranch project has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of CEQA, resulting in adoption of an Environmental Impact Report (SCH #2023070657), Statement of Overriding Considerations, Findings, and Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program.The proposed project is consistent with the adopted Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan land use designation for the Project site and the Project was evaluated in the certified Stockton 2040 General Plan EIR (SCH# 2017052062), with City Council action taken on December 4, 2018. The Project is also consistent with the appliable general plan designation and applicable general plan policies.
Based on the information included Project plans and staff evaluation of the Project, the subject site would be physically suitable (including access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designation and anticipated land use development. //
SECTION II: CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Based on its review of the entire record herein, including the November 18, 2025, City Council staff report, all supporting, referenced, and incorporated documents, and all comments received, the City Council hereby approves the Prezoning of the site.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED November 18, 2025 .

Mayor of the City of Stockton
