Conditional Use Permit No. PA-2600014

Conditional Use Permit No. PA-2600014, approved by the San Joaquin County Planning Commission on May 21, 2026, authorizes the installation of a 4,043.52-kilowatt DC STC ground-mounted photovoltaic system. The project is located on approximately 14.47 acres at 15200 E. Lone Tree Rd in Escalon, California, within a parcel zoned as AG-40 for General Agriculture. The site is currently subject to a Williamson Act Contract and will be served by existing private water, stormwater, and septic systems. Access to the facility will be provided through a proposed fire access road and an existing driveway located at the south end of East Lone Tree Road. The project was processed under the San Joaquin County Community Development Department and adhered to CEQA guidelines, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This determination confirms that there are no significant environmental impacts, provided that the project adheres to specific mitigation measures and a formal mitigation reporting and monitoring plan adopted as conditions of approval. The project is managed by the San Joaquin County Planning Commission with primary coordination involving Associate Planner Jacob Pahule and Jordan W. Jones of Cal Solar.
