Tracy Northeast Business Park Project

Tracy Northeast Business Park Project

Development on the Dermody Property would consist of approximately 1,811,259 square feet of warehouse/distribution and/or manufacturing space located in three buildings, as well as an approximately 12.4-acre stormwater detention basin with pump station that would be City owned and managed. It is anticipated that Suvik would process a site-specific Development Review Permit at some point in the future, subsequent to certification of this EIR; thus, the specific layout and other site planning and building details for the Suvik Property are not currently known. However, for purposes of a conservative analysis, a conceptual building orientation plan for the Suvik Property has been prepared to provide site-specific information, based on reasonable assumptions, regarding a conceptual building orientation to facilitate project-level review and analysis hereunder. For the purposes of analysis in the DEIR, buildout of the Suvik Property is estimated to consist of a maximum total of approximately 1,015,166 square feet of warehouse/distribution and/or manufacturing uses (as well as ancillary office use), which conservatively reflects the maximum allowable density per acre identified in the NEI Specific Plan (which would govern development of the proposed project). The proposed project also includes demolition of existing agricultural structures, removal of existing trees and crops, installation of related on- and off-site road and utility improvements to serve the proposed project, and grading of a total of approximately 450,000 cubic yards, which would be balanced on-site. Of the approximately 450,000 cubic yards of material graded, approximately 300,000 cubic yards would occur on the Dermody Property, with the remaining approximately 150,000 cubic yards occurring on the Suvik Property. The project site is zoned General Agriculture, with a minimum parcel size of 40 acres (AG-40) on the County’s Zoning Map. The City of Tracy General Plan designates the project site as Industrial. As discussed more fully in the DEIR, the proposed project would be consistent with the planned industrial uses under the City’s land use vision for the project site and vicinity. In connection therewith, the co-applicants for the proposed project are seeking approval of a boundary reorganization from the San Joaquin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) to annex the project site into the City of Tracy and detach the project site from the Tracy Rural Fire District, as well as City approval of the proposed pre-zoning of the project site to a designation of NEI Specific Plan and an amendment to the boundaries of the Northeast Industrial (NEI) Specific Plan to incorporate the project site into its boundary (as well as any other conforming amendments necessary to ensure consistency). As an employment-generating use, the proposed project is expected to employ approximately 2,103 people on-site at full buildout. Potentially Significant Environmental Effects: Analysis of the Project determined that there would be potentially significant impacts related to Aesthetics, Agricultural Resources, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Land Use and Planning, Noise, Public Services, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire. However, feasible mitigation measures identified in the DEIR would reduce the majority of these potential impacts to a less than significant level. Impacts that would remain significant even after implementation of all feasible mitigation measures include the following: • Project-Level and Cumulative Conversion of Prime Farmland (AG-1, AG-CUM-1); • Project-Level and Cumulative Air Quality Impacts (AIR-1, AIR-CUM-1, AIR-2, AIR-CUM-2, AIR-3, AIR-CUM-3); and • Project-Level and Cumulative Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) (TRANS-1 TRANS-CUM-1) • Project-Level Roadway Safety Hazard Impacts (TRANS-2) As stated in the DEIR, the project site is not listed as a hazardous materials site enumerated under Government Code Section 65962.5.
