Council approves large West Tracy annexation and prezoning to support industrial and public‑facility uses
Summary
The council approved a city‑initiated annexation of roughly 1,350 acres (prezoning about 350 acres to light industrial/highway services and a general plan amendment changing city‑owned park parcels to public facilities), and authorized staff to petition LAFCO.
The Tracy City Council voted to move forward with a multi‑part annexation initiative in West Tracy, approving findings that the proposed annexation is consistent with the city general plan environmental impact report and authorizing prezoning and plan amendments.
Staff described the project as a city‑initiated annexation that includes approximately 1,350 acres in the city’s sphere of influence; the immediate annexation and prezoning request covers about 350 acres proposed for light industrial and highway services zoning. The proposal also includes a general plan amendment to change city‑owned parcels currently designated 'park' to 'public facilities' to allow civic uses such as transit facilities and a potential substation.
Planner remarks noted the area includes business park parcels and existing commercial uses adjacent to I‑205 and International Parkway; staff recommended approval to bring the territory into city limits and align zoning with anticipated development and service patterns.
No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Council adopted resolutions for consistency with the city EIR and to approve prezoning and directed the city manager to submit the petition to the San Joaquin Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
