MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Community Development Department
TO: CITY COUNCIL DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1986
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR JOHNSON RANCH II SUBDIVISION
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT - EIR 86-1
A. 1) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The project will result in the los3 of 30.6 acres of prime
agricultural soil. If the project is approved, this loss
cannot be mitigated. (pp. 2-3)
Finding
All the land in and around the City of Lodi is 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 soils. Every development built in the City, large
or small, utilizes some prime agricultural soil. The
residential, commercial and industrial needs of the City
necessitate some urbanization of agricultural land.
Overriding considerations
The area in question was designated for residential
development for many years prior to Measure A. The area
has been undergoing urbanization for the past several
years, and there is residential development adjacent to
the proposed project.
The City of Lodi has planned and constructed its utility
system to serve the area with water, sewer and storm
drainage in anticipation of the area developing. The
existing infrastructure will allow development of the area
without costly expenditures of public funds for the
extension or construction of major new lines.
2) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Urbanization of the subject parcel will affect adjacent
agricultural parcels. (pp. 2-3)
Finding
While some modification of current farming practices may
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 may be required. There will be a 20' buffer
required along the south and west sides of the project.
This will provide a separation between the parcels, and
reduce problems of agriculturally related noise, dust and
chemical spraying.
3) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The project will generate approximately 1450 vehicle trips
per day when fully developed. (pp. 3-5)
Finding
Additional traffic can be mitigated by proper design and
construction of the street system. Century Blvd. will be
the only access to the project until the areas south and
west are developed. The ultimate street network includes
the extension of Century Blvd. from Lower Sacramer`, Road
to Cherokee Lane. A traffic signal will mitigate the
increased traffic at Cherokee Lane and Century Blvd. under
the ultimate traffic condition. The intersection will be
near capacity, but the lane configuration can be modified
to provide additional capacity.
4) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The project will produce some additional air pollution
both from vehicle emissions and construction activity.
(pp. 8-9)
Finding
Based on air quality projections, the amount of
vehicle -generated air pollution will not significantly
affect the region. The construction generated pollution,
primarily deist, will be temporary, lasting only during the
period of construction. Much of the dust problem can be
eliminated by watering down the site during the dry
construction months.
5) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Residential units adjacent to Cherokee Lane will be
subject to noise levels that exceed recommended levels for
residential units.
Finding
The developer will be required to comply with Title 25 of
the State Administrative Code. The code specifies the
amount of noise reduction that will need to be achieved.
A sound wall will be required if noise levels cannot be
reduced below 60 dB. Significant reductions in noise
levels can be achieved by the careful design and
construction of the residential units.
-2-
JOHNSON;TXTD.OIE
6) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The project will generate :45 additional students. This
will affect the Lodi Unified School District and its
ability to provide adequate classroom space. (pp.
11-12)
Finding
Fe
Tdevelope- has agreed to pay an impaction fee to the
School Distr.-t. The District considers the payinent of
these fees as sufficient mitigation for the impact of ;.he
additional students.
B. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT
The EIR discussed two alternatives to the proposed project.
The following are findings on these two alternatives.
Alternative 1
This alternative is a "no project" alternative which would
mean that no development would be constructed on the
property. (pg. 19)
Finding
This alternative would eliminate the environmental impacts
resulting from the proposed project. This alternative would,
however, affect the future supply of housing in the City of
Lodi.
Although there appears to be an adequate supply of subdivision
lots, this supply is continually being reduced by ongoing
building and sales activity. Unless new subdivisions like
Johnson Ranch II are approved, the City would eventually run
out of subdivision lots. Subdivisions often take 18-24 months
from the time of approval to when the first houses become
available. Johnson Ranch II will provide housing units a year
or two from now just at the time some existing subdivisions
are being built out.
Alternative 2
This alternative would utilize an "infill" property as an
alternative to the proposed project. (pp. 19-20)
Finding
TE pity of Lodi has consistently encouraged the utilization
of "infill" parcels of land available in the City of Lodi.
There are no parcels of land available in the City of Lodi.
There are no parcels that could accommodate the Johnson Ranch
II project. Most of the "infill" properties are small in
size, ranging from single-family lots to one or two acres.
All the large parcels are under development or have an
approved project on them. Additionally, most of these
Darcels, if they were available, would be very expensive. The
price would probably make affordable housing impossible.
-3-
JOHNSON/TXTD.OIB
C. GRr,WTH-INDUCING IMPACT
The project will not have a significant growth -inducing impact
on the City. However, the development will elongate the
panhandle that lies in the County and is surrounded on three
sides by the City of Lodi. It is conceivable that as this
panhandle is elongated by development southward, there will be
additional pressure for development inside the panhandle.
(pg. 28)
Finding
� a ea in the panhandle is affected by Measure A, which will
require approval by the voters of Lodi before any development
can take place. Measure A has placed a significant growth
limit on the City of Lodi. Whether or not there will be
further annexations and development in the project area will
be up to the voters. If they choose not to approve any future
annexations, there may be very little growth of the City in
future years.
