BACKGROUND INFORMATION At the direction of the Stockton Planning Commission,
the City of Stockton's planning. ,staff has prepared . a
"that,
proposed amended Stockton General Plan `among
};
other things, provides for development north' of Eight
;
Mile Road. In fact, the Stockton planning area depicted in that proposal'
extends to Harney Lane which is immediately adjacent in some areas to `the Lodi
city limits. Mayor Snider led a delegation of City representatives . i1w an
appearance before the Stockton Planning Commission on August" 1. The Mayor
expressed the opposition of the City of Lodi to this amended General Plan.=,
Councilmember Olson and several City staff members also attended the Stockton
Planning Commission's meeting of August 8 to repeat that expression of
opposition. The City of Stockton's planning staff, working with a consulting
'
firm, had recommended the adoption of an amended General Plan that provided for
no development north of Eight Mile Road.
Despite the City of Lodi 's expressed opposition, the recommendation of the
Stockton Planning Commission has, not surprisingly, been moved on to the Stockton
City Ccuncil for action by that body. The plan could be before the Stockton
City Council as early as its regular meeting of August 21, 1989. In making
presentations before the Stockton City Council and whatever other agencies may
be applicable, it is important to be able to state that this represents the
official position of the Lodi City Council.
The staff will be prepared to discuss this with the City Council at Wednesday
night's meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas A. Peterson
City Manager
