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.
