BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project is located at 555 North Guild Avenue and consists of a corporate office and warehouse space for Clark's Pest Control Company. The developer, Clarkson Callornia Properties, has furnished the City with improvement plans, necessary agreements, guarantees and insurance certificate for the proposed project. The developer also paid the required Development Impact Mitigation Fees (IMF) ($466,655.59) and the improvement agreement prepara#on fee and other miscellaneous fees ($12,736.20). The IMF fees paid were based upon the dual usage (commercial and Industrial warehouse) of the property resulting in higher fee assessments than if solely based upon the light industrial zoning, as has been the past practice. The improvements include installation of street pavement improvements, curb, gutter, and sidewalks, hydrants and miscellaneous storm drainage system on Guild Avenue. The project is also in the process of being annexed into the Lodi Consolidated Landscape and Maintenance District 2003-1 to cover the cost of the future traffic signal maintenance at Guild Avenue and Victor Road, median landscaping in Victor Road, and park maintenance associated with the development. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in long-term maintenance costs for public infrastructure, such as streets, water, wastewater and storm drain facilities, and City services, such as police and fire. The maintenance and replacement costs for the future traffic signal at Guild Avenue and Victor Road, median landscaping in Victor Road, and the expected increases in park maintenance costs will be funded through the Lodi Consolidated Landseape Maintenance District 2003-1. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. Costs associated with the agreement will be paid by the developer. Richard C.
