MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi , Community Development Department
TO: CITY OJLk L
FROM : COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: OCTOBER 16, 1989
SUBJECT: BNDPgGS OF APPROVAL FOR KETTLEMAN PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENTAL
",V -T REPORT
A. ENVWNMWM IMPACT - Prime Agricultural Soil (DEIR - P. 4-10)
The Project will result in a loss of 51 acres of prime agricultural
soil if the project is approved. This loss cannot be mitigated.
Finding
The and in and around the City of Lodi is all designated as prime
agricultural soil. The City does not have the option of building on
non -prime agricultural soils in order to preserve the prime soil.
Every development built in the City, large or small, utilizes some
prime agricultural land. The residential, commercial and industrial
needs of the City necessitate some urbanization of agricultural land.
Overriding Considerations
he area in question has been designated for urban development for
many years as a part of the Lodi General Plan. The )roject site abuts
the existing City limits on two sides with a City storm drainage basin
park and industrial development to the north and State Highway 99 and
commercial development to the west. There are also a number of
existing single-family houses that line the south side of Kettleman
Lane that are south of the subject property. The City of Lodi has
planned and constructed its utility system to serve the area with
water, sewer and store drainage in anticipation of the area
developing. The existing infrastructure will allow development of the
area without costly expenditures of public funds for the expansion or
construction of major my lines.
The project will provide a significant benefit for the City of Lodi.
Based on figures from the EK the project could generate in excess of
600 permanen* jobs. This does not include the additional construction
jobs that wi 1 1 be created during construction of the project. The
generation of neuv jobs is important because it creates my
opportunities for the people who live in Lodi. Creating jobs in the
City creates a better jobs/housing balance. It means that people can
work closer to where they live, reducing the need for long distance
commuting and the resulting impacts of commute traffic. The
additional jobs also strengthen the overall economy of Lodi.
The project will also be a source of new tax revenue, both property tax and
sales tax. The auto dealerships in particular are a major source of sales i
tax. The addition of my auto dealerships will also mean that Lodi may
capture an increased share of the total sales tax generated by auto sales
in the area. With added dealerships, more people may purchase their
vehicles in Lodi, instead of traveling to Stockton or Sacramento. These
new sources of revenue can be utilized to fund necessary services required t
by the project. The revenue collected can also be utilized to benefit the
City as a whole, helping to pay for projects and programs that are used by
all the citizens of Lodi.
IMPACT - Adjacent Agricultural Parcels (DEIR - P. 4-11
Urbanization of the subject parcel will affect adjacent agriculturrl
parcels .
Findinq
While some modification of the current farming practices rmy be
required, those modifications will not prevent the continued
agricultural use of the adjacent parcels. The use of agricultural
chemicals can continue, although in some cases alternative methods of
application or types of chemicals nuy be required. The project is
separated from agricultural property to the south by Kettleman Lane
which will eventually have an 81foot wide right-of-way. On the west
and south the project will be adjacent to existing urban development.
The east side of the project is the only area where the project will
be immediately adjacent to existing agricultural property. Along this
property line the City will require a 20 -foot wide agricultural buffer
zone as well as a 6 -foot high chain link fence adjacent to any
agricultural parcels.
C. IMPACT - Traffic EIR - P. 6-1
The project will increase trattic volumes by approximately 32,000
vehicle trips per day when fully developed. These additional vehicle
trips will impact traffic along both East Kettleman Lane and South
Beckman Road.
Finding
The crease in traffic volume on East Kettleman Lane and South
Beckman Road will be mitigated by the following:
1. Construct required lane improvements on South Bedanan Road
including required lane widenings and turn controls.
2. Construct required lane improvements on East Kettleman Lane
including required lane widenings and turn controls.
3. Install traffic signal controls at the Kettleman Lane/Beckman
Road intersection at some future date when traffic volumes
warrant these improvements.
4. Control the left hand turning movements for southbound Beckrym
Road traffic at the intersection of Bedanan and Kettleman Lane.
a
L
Contrpl driveway access along the first 200 feet north and east
of the Beckman Road/Kettleman Lane intersection.
6. Add a second project street connecting Beckman Road with
Kettleman Lane to relieve traffic volumes at the existing
Backman Road/Kettleman. Lane intersection. An alternative would
be to realign Beckman Road east from its current alignment.
Moving the Beckman Road/Kettleman Lane intersection further east
would help reduce traffic conflicts along Kettleman Lane between
Cherokee Lane and the project site.
7. The developer should contribute his fair share toward the cost
of required traffic improvements for the project area. These
project improvements could be funded by the payment of
development fees collected from the developer of this project as
wel 1 as other projects throughout the City. "To nitigate
project and cumulative impacts on transportation/traffic
infrastructure, the development shallpay its fair share of
development fees and/or charges adopted by the City as part of
the 1989/90 General Plan Update now being drafted."
Overriding Considerations
Me —resolution of the future traffic problems on Kettleman Lane and on
Beckman Road will require a cooperative approach by all parties
involved. The City of Lodi, San Joaquin County and the State of
California all control some portion of the surrounding street system.
The projected traffic problems are not just the result of the proposed
project, but of existing development in the area as well as through
traffic on Kettleman Lane and Highway 93. Sortie of the problems have
also been created by the design of the existing street system and the
Highway 99 interchange. A solution to the problem will require a
comprehensive study of the circulation pattern of the entire area. It
will also require funding of improvements by all parties, including
the Kettleman Properties developer and other praject developers in the
area. The developer and developers of adjacent properties should all
be required to pay development fees which will fund necessary
improvements in the traffic system.
IMPACT - Noise (DEIR P. - 8-1)
There will be a temporary increase in construction related noise.
Finding
The increased noise levels are temporary in nature and will only last
for the duration of construction. 'The noise is a normal part of every
construction project. The City can control unusual noise situations
with their noise ordinance.
E. ENVIRONMENTAL ",AC'f - Air Quality (DEIR - P. 7-i
The proposed project will generate additional amounts of
vehicle -related air pollutants, namely reactive organic gasses (ROG)
and Nitrous Oxide (NOx) .
F
Findina
The generation of both types of gasses is unavoidable and they are a
problem both area -wide and state-wide. The City can help alleviate
this problem by supporting San Joaquin County in developing a
county -wide trip reduction ordinance. The developer is aiding in this
process by offering to dedicate a parking area for a CalTrans operated
park and ride lot which could help reduce the nuinber of vehicle trips
on an area -wide basis.
The proposedpproject will be a major source of jobs whai fully
developed. Creatin more jobs in Lodi will mean that more Lodi
residents will be able to work in Lodi instead of commuting to
Stockton, Sacramento or elsewhere. The reduction in the mniber of
people commuting long distances will help reduce vehicle trips and the
related vehicle generated air pollutants.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - Public Services (DEIR - P. 5-1)
The project will result in an increased dmu-id for various public
services including law enforcement, fire protection, water supply,
storm drainage, wastewater and parks and recreation.
Findin
e increased dmn-id on public services can be mitigated in two ways.
First, the project, what fully developed, will generate additional
sources of taxes, including sales tax and property tax. These sources
of funds can be utilized to help offset the cost for increased public
services. "To mitigate project and cumulative impacts on drainage,
water, wastewater and public (including parks, police, fire and other
facilities) infrastructure, the development shall pay its fair share
of development fees and/or charges adopted by the City as part of the
1989/90 General Plan Update now being drafted."

r
I am one of the owners of the property located at the
Southeast corner of Kettleman Lane and Beckman Road. It is clear
from the magnitude of the proposed project that all four corners
at that location will be affected. All during the course of the
discussions with the Planning Commission, it was clear that
traffic will be a significant issue for all concerned. I.,.
therefore take this opportunity to ask you to consider carefully
the traffic issues with.. the understanding that I, along with the f
other owners, intend to request annexation of the Southeast
corner, in order to adequately coordinate the development at that
intersection
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
