Present Land Use
The San Benito County 2035 General Plan identifies the land use designation for the existing JSRL as Public Quasi Public (PQP). The land use designation of the proposed expansion site is almost exclusively designated Rangeland (RG) with a small western segment identified as Agriculture (A).
The site is zoned a combination of Agricultural Rangeland (AR) and Agricultural Productive (AP) (Figure 4.1-2). The central and eastern portions of the existing JSRL and the landfill expansion property are zoned AR. The western portions of the JSRL and the landfill expansion property are zoned AP, as are the 101.3 acres of County-owned land located south of the JSRL. Surrounding properties to the north and east of the project site are zoned AR and properties to the south and west are zoned AP.
Document Description
This is the public draft EIR for the proposed John Smith Road Landfill (JSRL) Expansion Project includes a 388.05-acre northern expansion of the existing 95.16-acre JSRL. This expansion would increase the landfill’s disposal capacity, expand the total waste footprint, increase the maximum permitted elevation of the final landfill, and increase the maximum permitted daily tonnage accepted at the JRSL.
