At its meeting of Wednesday, October 3, 1990 the Lodi City Council approved

a senior housing project containing 70 low -moderate apartment units.
At the City Council hearing on this matter, the Lodi Downtown Business

W would suggest that you meet with our Chief Building 'Inspector and Plans
Examiner at an early date to determine what will be reoui red to accomplish
the conversion. Since me have a number of contemplated commercial
projects, it appears to be in everyone's best interest to arrive at a
mutually agreed upon garde plan.
