What is a Sensitive receptor?

The California Attorney General defines: “sensitive receptors16” and refers to residences, schools, public recreation facilities, health care facilities, places of worship, daycare facilities, community centers, or incarceration facilities. 

We have MULTIPLE sensitive receptors within a mile of this project!

According to the CA AG Guidelines: Proactive planning can take many forms. Land use designation and zoning decisions should channel development into appropriate areas. For example, establishing industrial districts near major highway and rail corridors but AWAY from sensitive receptors16 can help attract investment while avoiding conflicts between warehouse facilities and residential communities.

Transition zones with lighter industrial and commercial land uses may also help minimize conflicts between residential and industrial uses.  

In addition, general plan policies, local ordinances, and good neighbor policies should set minimum standards for logistics projects. General plan policies can be incorporated into existing economic development, land use, circulation, or other related general plan elements. Many jurisdictions alternatively choose to consolidate policies in a separate environmental justice element. Adopting general plan policies to guide warehouse development may also help.
