General Plan and Development Title Text Amendment No. PA-2600004

San Joaquin County is seeking to amend its General Plan and Development Title Text to permit parcels smaller than two acres to be redesignated to the Warehouse Industrial land use designation and zoning, provided all County standards are satisfied. This change allows for greater flexibility in land use planning by removing the previous minimum size requirement, enabling smaller parcels to be considered for industrial development if they meet engineering, environmental, and community development criteria. Variations from standard requirements may be considered, but only with explicit approval from the Environmental Health Department, Department of Public Works, and Community Development Department, ensuring public safety and infrastructure capacity are maintained. The amendment is being reviewed in tandem with two other applications for a specific 1.01-acre parcel located at 5440 E. Harney Lane in Lodi, which is proposed to shift from General Agriculture to Warehouse Industrial use and to authorize a traffic control business on the site. The application is formally titled General Plan and Development Title Text Amendment No. PA-2600004 and is being managed by the County’s planning division, with Megan Aguirre, Principal Planner, serving as the primary point of contact. The proposal reflects an effort to modernize land use regulations to better align with current economic and operational needs while preserving regulatory oversight.
