Background Information:
APPLICATION NO.: GPA 26-52, REZ 26-52
APPLICANT: City of Manteca
PROJECT LOCATION: The project sites are located along South McKinley Avenue, Woodward Avenue, and North Main Street. Project site locations are as follows; Site 1: 1241, 1275 S. McKinley Avenue, 2901 Bronzan Road (APNs 241-410-18, 241-410-19, 241-410-20); Site 2: 3005, 3131 W. Woodward Avenue (APNs 241-260-13, 241-260-33); Site 3: 1250 N. Main Street (APN 218-210-26); Site 4: 838 N. Main Street (APN 223-020-28).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed Project consists of a General Plan Amendment to the Land Use Map and corresponding Rezone amending the Zoning Map for four sites located throughout the City of Manteca. The amendments are intended to provide consistency between the City’s General Plan and Zoning and to facilitate future public infrastructure improvements, public/quasi-public facilities, commercial development opportunities, and residential development opportunities. The project does not include approval of any specific development proposal or construction activity at this time. Below is an excerpt from the Staff Report (Attachment 1) identifying the scope of each of the four sites.
Site 1 - Commercial ROW Acquisition
The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment to change approximately one acre along the southern portion of Site 1 from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Commercial (C), along with a rezone from R-1 to CG. Future development of the site may require right-of-way acquisition from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, which would be processed separately from this request. Under the proposed designations, the site would allow a maximum development potential of approximately 11 residential units and 26,136 square feet of commercial uses.
Site 2 - School District Site Swap
The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment and Rezone affecting portions of APNs 241-260-13 and 241-260-33. Approximately 0.82 acres of APN 241-260-13 would be redesignated from Public/Quasi-Public (PQP) to High Density Residential (HDR) and rezoned from PQP to R-3. In addition, approximately 1.82 acres of APN 241-260-33 would be redesignated from HDR to PQP and Rezoned from R-3 to PQP.
Following the amendments, Site 2 would contain approximately 10.22 acres of HDR and 17.98 acres of PQP land uses. No development is currently proposed; however, the amendments would result in an overall reduction of approximately 30 potential residential units due to the decrease in HDR acreage. Under the proposed designations, the site would have a maximum development potential of approximately 306 residential units and 391,604 square feet of PQP uses.
Site 3 - Fire Station 3 Relocation Site
The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment to redesignate approximately 1.14 acres along the northern portion of Site 3 from Commercial (C) to Public/Quasi-Public (PQP), along with a corresponding rezone from CG to PQP. Future development of the site may require approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, which would be processed separately from the proposed amendments. Under the proposed designations, the site would allow approximately 16,466 square feet of commercial uses and 24,829 square feet of PQP uses.
Site 4 - Cardoza Housing Property
The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment to redesignate approximately 0.27 acres along the eastern portion of Site 4 from Commercial (C) to Medium Density Residential (MDR), along with a corresponding rezone from CG to R-2. Future development may require approval of a Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide the site into multiple parcels for future residential development; however, any subdivision request would be processed separately. Under the proposed designation, the site would allow a maximum development potential of approximately five residential units and 33,976 square feet of commercial uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
The City of Manteca previously certified the 2043 General Plan Update (GPU) Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH #2020019010) in February of 2024, which evaluated the environmental impacts associated with full implementation and buildout of the General Plan. The certified EIR analyzed future development anticipated throughout the Planning Area, including residential, commercial, public facility, infrastructure, and circulation improvements, and identified mitigation measures to reduce potentially significant impacts.
An Addendum to the GPU EIR (SCH #2020019010) was prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 because the Project entailed only minor changes or additions necessary, and none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 require preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR.
