TO: City Council FROM: City Manager MEETING DATE: October 15, 1986 SUBJECT: Request for Pacific Avenue Driveway For Lakewood Mall Expansion RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council, after hearing from the proposed developer and residents in the area, discuss and take appropriate action which could include: 1. Deny Pacific Avenue driveway access 2. Approve Pacific Avenue driveway access (with -or without conditions) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the last City Council meeting of October 1, 1986, k"t under communications, the City Council reviewed a request from Stone Bros. Management Company for a new driveway exiting onto Pacific Avenue. Attached is a copy of this request dated September 19, 1986, including their proposed on-site improvements and a conceptual plan which was approved approximately 20 years ago. The City's present policy is not to allow commercial or industrial driveways �Ne entering or exiting into a residential area. Based on this policy Public Works Department would not allow the new driveway from the Lakewood Mall expansion to exitonto Pacific Avenue. The City Council, after hearing the developer's request, staff and City policy, determined that the discussion should be continued until residents in the area could be notified and have input. The attached letter dated October 7, 1986, was sent out to the residential parcels as highlighted on the attached Exhibit A. This exhibit also shows the zoning in the area and location of the proposed driveway. It is true that approximately 20 years ago a conceptual plan was approved by the City showing driveway' access onto Pacific Avenue. However, many City standards have changed over the past 20 years and it is felt that a circulation plan can be developed to use the existing seven driveways which exit onto Elm Street, Ham Lane and Lockeford Street.

Reimche, City Clerk Re: Lakewood Mall Expansion Agenda Item Request for October 1, 1986 City Council Meeting Dear Ms. Reimche: Stone Brothers is in the process of expanding the existing Lakewood Mail by building additional shops to the west of the existing structure. On September 8, 1986 we presented our plans for expansion at the Lodi Planning Committee meeting. (See drawing AP -3 attached.) The committee unanimously approved the project and there was no opposition expressed by surrounding homeowners. We have recently met with the Lodi Public Works Department in preparation for the scheduled Site Plan Architectural Commixtee meeting on October 6, 1986. They have advised us that we would not be allowed a driveway onto Pacific Avenue from the mall expansion. This causes us great concern because of the importance this driveway is to our development plans. We, therefore, request this be brought before the City Council as a regular agenda item in the October 1, 1986 meeting. Specifically our request is that Stone Brothers be allowed a two-way entrance onto our property from Pacific Avenue. The reasons for this entrance is to provide access for customers and delivery traffic to and from Pacific. We "feel it is essential for the protection of our center court customers, that especially during the busy parts of the day, delivery trucks can be routed to a Pacific Avenue exit. Plans for having this exit ::ave not changed from the beginning of our development in the early 1960's. The site plans submitted for zoning and '= later for use permits all show this access onto Pacific. Attached is a copy of a site plan dated August 17,. 1964 submitted for use permit. While the building layout has changed, our need for the Pacific Avenue entrance has not changed. s Alice M. Reimche, City Clerk September 19, 1986 J.
