SUBJECT: Hutchins Street/Lodi Sports Center Parking Congestion & Deficiency
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Planning Commission in 1978, reviewed and
approved the request for a Use Permit to re-establish a private swim and
athletic club at 1900 South Hutchins St. The plan submitted at that time
Included a 19 stall parking lot on their property and a 28 stall parking lot
on the adjacent property to the south owned by the Hittles. However, the
Planning Commission determined that the on-site 19 stalls would be adequate
with the 28 stalls serving as a bonus. The Zoning Ordinance requires the
Planning Commission to determine the required off-street parking for this
type of use. In October of 1979, the Planning Commission approved the parcel
map for the Lodi Sports Center which joined the proposed Hittle parcel (for
parking) to the proposed development. In February of 1980, the City was in-
formed that the project could not be constructed as originally proposed since
acquisition of the Hittle property would not be economically feasible. In
May of 1980, the Planning Commission approved a modified Use Permit for the
facility allowing for a change in location for the additional parking. This
proposal moved the parking from the Hittle parcel to the property to the north
owned by Jake Ferguson. The Ferguson property acquisition did not take place
and development took place with only the 19 required on --site parking stalls.
One condition that was common to all of the approvals by the Planning Commission,
was the dedication of the necessary rights of way for the Hutchins Street frontage
road and the construction of these improvements.
The attached Exhibit A is a copy of the adopted Specific Plan for Hutchins St.
which shows a geometric section of the frontage road as having two travel lanes
with parking only on the east side. The attached Exhibit B shows the Sports
Center development, including the developed frontage road together with the
adjacent properties. This exhibit shows the 16 on-site parking stalls provided
by Lodi Sports Center. Between Century Blvd. and the Lodi Sports Center north
property line, there are 35 legal on -street spaces on Hutchins Street and the
frontage road. However, during peak hours, we have witnessed over 80 vehicles
parked in the immediate area when using the Lodi Sports Center facility.
During these peak hours (4:00 p.m, to 10:00 p.m. week days), parking is taking
place on both sides of the frontage road (with cars parked in both directions),
on Hutchins Street and in the on-site parking lots of Lodi Sports Center and
Hittles. This reflects only the current parking problem and it is anticipated,
as summer approaches, that this problem will increase once the outdoor

pool facility Is utilized. Lodi Sports Center expects another 40 vehicles
this summer during peak hours.
The only real solution to the parking problem is additional onsite parking.
However, since the City requirement was met, the City cannot require additional
parking to be installed, On Exhibit B, highlighted in yellow, are those
areas or parcels that could be considered for providing additional on-site
parking, none of these parcels are owned by Lodi Sports Center.
The Eire Department indicates their major problems to be:
I. Cars parked in the red zones fronting the Lodi Sports Center
and property blocking the building fire connection and fire
hydrant.
2. Cars blocking access to the Kittle property.
3. Fire trucks unable to turn around or exit from the area.
4. Snorkel unable to make turn at Century with parking on
both sides of frontage road.
The Lodi Sports Center currently has 1100 paid members (5001 applications) and
expects Its membership to increase to 1400-1600 by this summer.
The attached Exhibits C and 0 show pictures of the existing on-site and off-street
parking situation.
The attached Exhibits E, F, G, and H, show the following information:
Exhibit E - this shows the existing situation which accommodates
60 on -street parking spaces.
Exhibit F - this layout i, in conformance with the Specific flan
and accommodates 38 on -street parking spaces.
Exhibit G - this shows angled parking on one side and conversion of
this portion of the frontage road to a one-way street and provides
for 54 on-streee parking spaces. It should be noted that this can
be only an interim proposal until such time as the Finnegan and
Ferguson parcels develop. This alternate would require striping of
the diagonal stalls and their removal ($1100) at a later date. This
proposal provides for an exit only on to Hutchins Street From the'
frontage road at the northerly property line of the Lodi Sports Center,

Exhibit H - this is a modified design which provides for two-way
traffic up to the Lodi Sports Center and one-way traffic north of
the Lodi Sports Center driveway. It includes a 241 access on to
Hutchins St. from the frontage road and provides for 47 on -street
parking spaces.
Staff will review this material with the Council at the Council meeting of
