C.1 T Y OF L0L)i PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTME►JT COUNCT: COMMUNICA'T'ION TO: City Council FROM: City Manager MEETING DATE: August 5, 1987 AGENDA TITLE: Adoption of Ordinance No. 1402, "Regulating the Use of and Traffic Upon the Streets, Sidewalks, and Other Public and Private Places in the City of Lodi; the Use, Parking, and control of Vehicles Thereon; and Repealing Ordinance No. 493 and all Ordinances and Parts of Ordinances Amendatory Thereof and in Conflict Herewith", and the Accompanying Traffic Resolution RECOMMENDED ACTION: Following reading by title, it would be appropriate for the Lodi City Council to adopt Ordinance No. 1402. In addition, the Traffic Resolution, attached, should be adopted as it implements the various controls allowed in the crdinance. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Ordinance No. 1402, "Regulating the Use of and Traffic Upon the Streets. Sidewalks, and Other Public and Private Places in the City of Lodi; the Use, Parking, and Control of Vehicles Thereon; and Repealing Ordinance No. 493 and all Ordinances and Parts of Ordinances Amendatory Thereof and in Conflict Herewith", attached, was introduced at the regular meeting of July 15, 1987. Pursuant to State statute, ordinances may be adopted five days after their introduction following reading by title. This ordinance has been approved to form by the City Attorney. , Thee have been a few minor changes in wording which eliminate the word "highway" when used with the word "street" since they both have the same definition. The words "public right of way" were added to the word "street" under Article X1, Stopping, Standing and Parking. Since the July 15 meeting, the City has received some calls regarding truck routes, mainly regarding use of Turner Road between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street for deliveries or for locally generated truck traffic. The section of the ordinance restricting truck traffic is as follows: "Section 13.2 - Route Restrictions A. When any weight or length truck routes are established and designated by approp-iate signs, the operator of any vehicle not in compliance with the specific limits shall drive on such routes and none other except as otherwise provided by City ordinance or in the Vehicle Code. (VC 35401.5) APPROVED: naQer FILE NO_ CTRAFFI3/TXTH'.02M July 29, 1987 City Council nuyu,St 5, 1707 °age 2 B. NoUning in this ordinance shall prohibit any vehicle exceeding a maximum gross weight of five tons coming from a "Truck Route" having ingress and egress by direct route to and from a restricted street when necessary for the purpose of making pickups or deliveries of goods, wares and merchandise from or to any building or structure located on such restricted streets or for the purpose of delivering materials to be used in the actual and bona -fide repair, alteration, remodeling, or constr,,,­-. n of any building or structure upon such restricted streets fur which a building permit has previously been obtained therefor. (VC 35703)" The attached Traffic Resolution lists the truck routes as tentatively approved by the City Council on July 15. They are shown on the attached map. (Incidentally, the truck route language in the ordinance is essentially the same as the present ordinance; the difference is that specific routes are actually being adopted.) The establishment of the routes as shown on the map restricts most truck traffic to truck routes. Section 13.2-B of the ordinance provides an exception for truck travel off the route for deliveries or pickups at sites not actually on the route. Thus, the following types of truck travel would be prohibited on Turner Road between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street: 1. Through trucks - Includes I-5/Highwey 99 trips or any other trip with an origin and destination outside Lodi such as long-haul trucks or shipments involving businesses east of Lodi to I-5, west of Lodi or Woodbridge. 2. "Through" deliveries - Includes deliveries that would travel the entire length of the segment such as Highway 99 at Turner Road to General Mills. 3. "Through" Lodi -based shipments - Includes shipments of goods and materials from Lodi -based industries such as a manufacturer on N. Cluff Avenue sending a shipment to I-5 or Woodbridge. 4. "Through" Lodi -based deliveries - Includes deliveries from Lodi -based businesses that would travel the entire length of the segment such as any of the businesses cast of Stockton Street making deliveries to Woodbridge. Of course, the actual reduction in truck traffic will depend on the level of enforcement. Strict enforcement and compliance would require additional travel distance on the part of many Lodi businesses.

Reltnche City Clerk Approved as to form c� ona d M. -Min City Attorney Alice Reimche City Clerk City of Lodi 221 W. Pine Street, #3006 Lodi, California 95241-1910 Re: Proposed traffic ordinance for the City of Lodi Dear Ms. Reimche: As we discussed in our most recent telephone conversation, my law firm represents the Frank C. Alegre Trucking Company relative to certain actions taken by the City Council for the City of Lodi on July 15, 1987. Specifically, on July 15th, the City Council passed a tentative resolution to eliminate certain truck traffic on Turner Road. In reviewing the testimony taken by the Council, as well as the facts associated with the Council's actions, I feel that the Council was not apprised as to the environmental impacts of their action, as well as the impact on other public roadways in and about the City of Lodi as a result of the Council's actions. Ir_ light of these issues, it is my clients' and my intention to introduce evidence and arguments before the Council to explain that there are less intrusive means of protecting the residents in and about the Turner Road area from truck traffic short of the complete elimination of truck traffic on Turner Road. In essence, I believe the Council should consider and hear testimony on limiting truck traffic on Turner Road to "direct traffic" which would comprise truck traffic that had destinations on the Turner Road area or truck traffic that began or ended their travels in the City of Lodi. Alice Reimche July 22, 1987 Page Two I understand that there will be a meeting before the Council on August S, 1987, for purposes of further discussing the tentative resolution, and consequently L would appreciate being advised as to that date and time so that my client and I might prepare for the further hearing on these :slues. I thank you for your cooperation in these matters, and I look forward to hearing from you soon concerning these issues. Very truly yours, RISHWAIN, HAKEEM, ELLIS & LeBEOUF A Professional Corporation By. U ALBERT M. ELLIS AME/cdz cc: Frank Aleare A
