r-- a Public Hearings:

86-3) for Parkview Terrace, a 20 acre, 155 unit
Proposed adult community at the northeast corner of
LodXeAtenue and Lower Sacramento Road.

Parkview Terrace, a 20 acre, 155 unit adult community at
the northeast corner of West Lodi Avenue and Lower
Sacramento Road to P -D, Planned Development, to accommodate
a cluster :Wane development with recreational amenities.
The matter was introduced by Cgxmmuni.ty Development Director
Schroeder who presented diagrams of the subject area.
Council established the following findings of approvaL
the Parkview Terrace Subdivision.
A. 1. ENVIMZENTAL IMPACT
The project will result in the loss of 20.88 acres of prime
agricultural soil if the project is approved. This loss
cannot be mitigated. (pp. 3-4)
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
"nen-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, comiercial and industrial needs of the City
necessitates 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 urbanized for many years and there are residential
developments 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) DWIR(X ME AL IMPACT
Urbanization of the subject parcel will affect adjacent
agricultural parcels. (pg. 4)
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 score ) '`
cases alternative methods of application or types of
chemicals may be required. There is a 137' right of way on
Lower Sacramento Road which will serve as a buffer between
the agricultural use on the west and the project site.
