Variance No. PA-2400223 and Major Subdivision No. PA-2300266

San Joaquin County's Community Development Department has approved Variance No. PA-2400223 and Major Subdivision No. PA-2300266 for a project located on Tretheway Road in Lockeford, California. The project involves reducing the minimum lot size in the AG-40 zone from 40 acres to 2 acres to allow for the subdivision of a 14.77-acre parcel into six parcels and a designated remainder, each at least 2 acres. While no new structures are currently proposed, the subdivision enables the future construction of a single-family residence and an accessory dwelling unit on each new lot, with access provided via a proposed easement. The project was approved by the Planning Commission on September 4, 2025, following an environmental review that resulted in a Mitigated Negative Declaration under the California Environmental Quality Act. Key compliance requirements include achieving a 29 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2002-2004 levels through the installation of solar PV systems, EV charging infrastructure, and energy-efficient appliances. Additionally, the project must adhere to the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan, comply with wastewater design standards, and follow guidance from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Toxic Substances Control regarding soil sampling and water quality protection.
