PA-2400377 Conditional Use Permit / Camp Goldstar Project

The Conditional Use Permit PA-2400377 for the Camp Goldstar Project authorizes the development of a private resort in Stockton, California, encompassing a comprehensive suite of recreational and hospitality facilities. The project includes 25 private lodges, each designed for six to eight guests with bathroom and kitchenette amenities, four of which are ADA accessible. A marina with a 6,160-square-foot dock capable of accommodating 33 to 44 boats will be constructed alongside a 6,500-square-foot two-story clubhouse featuring a kitchen and a second-floor caretaker’s unit. Additional amenities include a 2,500-square-foot pool and spa area, five cabanas, grass bocce ball and volleyball courts, a concrete pickleball court, a 1,200-square-foot picnic shelter, a 2,000-square-foot dog run, and a 1,000-square-foot communal restroom with showers. Supporting infrastructure includes a 1,000-square-foot housekeeping and laundry building, a 1,440-square-foot garage, a 14-foot-wide gazebo, two observation towers, and 27 fire pits. The site will feature private water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage systems. Construction is scheduled between January and November 2026, with phases for site preparation, grading, underground utilities, building construction, paving, and architectural coating. All work must comply with CEQA, CARB regulations, CALGreen standards, and the National Historic Preservation Act, with strict adherence to Best Management Practices to mitigate ecological disruption. Environmental compliance is central to the project’s approval, as evidenced by a suite of required technical attachments including a New Public Water System Technical Report, Emissions Calculations, Biological Assessment, Aquatic Resources Delineation Report, Biological Database Queries, Special-Status Species Potential to Occur Table, NHPA Section 106 Consultation Letter, FEMA Letter of Map Amendment, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at the project location on MacDonald Island along the San Joaquin River and are overseen jointly by San Joaquin County, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the Technical Advisory Committee, ensuring alignment with the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and local air quality standards.
