TO: THE CITY CC7<NJL
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF LODI DEVELOPMENT INC.
03UIVC][., MEETING DATE:
JUNE 20, 1990
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider the appeal of Jim Pryor on behalf of Lodi Development Inc. of
the Planning Commission's denial of a Use Permit to construct a senior
apartment project containing 51 - one bedroom apartments at 217 North
School Street (southwest corner of School and Lockeford streets) in an
area zoned C-2, General Commercial.
BACKGROUND IlVFORMAHCN In order to construct the project in the fas^ion, the developer
requested, the following Zoning Variances are required:
1. that the required number of off-street parking stalls be reduced from 51 spaces to
44 spaces;
2. that the front yard setback on Lockeford Street be reduced from 20 feet to 13 feet;
and
3. that the required setback between the alley property line (south property line) and
the rear of the parking stalls be reduced from 5 feet to G feet.
The Planning Commission was not opposed to a senior housing project at the proposed
location. However, the Planning Commission concluded that the suggested project was
overbuilt for the site.
Although the Commission did not vote on the variances because it denied the Use Permit, the
following observations were offered:
1. Wm Lockeford Street is extended to four lanes, on -street parking along the subject
property will be removed making the proposed front yard setback and parking
reductions even more of a problem to the immediate area.
2. The minimum age for occupying the project units is 55 years. People between the
ages of 55 and 75 probably will keep their automobiles. On-site parking of one
space per unit is the absolute minimum for tenants and visitors.
3. The elimination of the 5 foot setback along the alley will have automobiles backing
without any turning area before entering the alley. Senior housing projects should
provide on-site parking which is safer and more comfortable than noparking.
4. The City Council and Planning Commision by down -zoning the Eastside Study Area and
increasing the required residential on-site parking were attempting to eliminate
overcrowding. The project as proposed appeared to be a re�ersal of that trend.
