The Resolution includes the following major items: 1, that approximately 25 acres presently designated industrial in our downtown area and bounded by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Lockeford Street, Lodi Avenue and a north -south line half a block east of Sacramento Street be re- designated General Commercial. 2. that our existing single "INDUSTRIAL" General Plan classification be replaced with three new Industrial General Plan classifications, namely, "LIGHT, MEDIUM, AND HEAVY INDUSTRIAL" classifications as shown on a proposed revision to the Land Use Map. 3. that approximately 345 acres of residentially - classified land now shown on our General Plan east of U. S. 99-50 be revised to various Industrial General Plan classifications. 4. that a proposed phasing plan be adopted whereby undeveloped areas will be phased to permit develop- . ment to coincide with the future demand for indus- trial land and the adequate availability of all public utilities and services. Later phased areas will develop after an earlier and adjacent phased area has been at least 80% developed for urban purposes. Areas included in phases 0 through 4 are classified LIGHT, MEDIUM or HEAVY Industry. Phase 5 is recommended to be designated as future Industrial, a holding phase which reserves land for industrial purposes to be classified after 50% of phase 3 areas are developed. 5. The Commission also proposes, as part of the amendment, an updated Street and Rail Line Master Plan for phases 1 through 4 east of U. S. 99=50.
