TC rHE CITY C0UNCIL I DAt`E= NO. FROM. THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE October 21, 1987 SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Urgency Ordinance Amending the Land Use Element of the General Plan to designate the Apartment Moratorium Area (eastside study area) for Low Density Single -Family with Certain Exceptions. PREPARED BY: City Attorney BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Attached hereto for your review for the Wednesday, October 21, 1987 City Council meeting is a draft copy -of an ordinance regarding item K3 "Consider adoption of Urgency Ordinance amending the Land Use Element of the General -Plan to designate the Apartment Moratorium Area (eastside study area) for low Density Single -Family with certain exceptions." What I have done in this draft ordinance was to attempt to put into writing what the City Council approved at its October 14, 1987 Council meeting. Please note specifically that in an R -C -P, C -I, C-2 or C -M zone, if there is not presently located in those areas a multifamily unit, no such unit shall be permitted to be built except for a senior citizen housing project. This would mean that an office building which wanted to convert to a multifamily unit residential facility, would not be permitted under E this ordinance to convert. es tfu submitted, Ronald M.

CALIFORNIA 95241-1910 (209) 334-5634 T111COPUR 12U91333b795 October 15, 1987 C rty Ma::aFer AiICE '�� RE Pvti.Si RONALD ht STHIN Csty Attorney Dear Property Owner: On November 6, 1985, the Lodi City Council enacted a temporary building moratorium banning multi -family construction in an area bounded by Turner Road on the north, State Route 99 on the east, Kettleman Lane/State Route 12 on the south and Crescent Avenue on the west. ( see copy of map depicting the area attached) The moratorium was enacted because the City had many requests for building permits to convert single-family residential units to multi -family units. This increase in apartment construction and occupancy led to several changes in the character of the subject area including:, increased traffic, circulation, and parking problems increased demand for public services and facilities shift in neighborhood demographics loss of single-family residences change in neighborhood aesthetic character, and encouragement of additional conversions to multi -family housing The moratorium's purpose was to give City staff the opportunity to analyze infrastructure capacity and to develop planning strategies for the Study Area that focus on solutions to both problems and potential future conversions. October 15, 1987 Paae 2 Following the in-depth study, review and recommendation from the Planning Commission, Council took the following actions at its October 14, 1987 meeting regarding this matter. 1. Expanded the Apartment Moratorium Area (Eastside Study Area) to include 309 North Stockton Street and 115 and 121 East Lockeford Street. 2. Certified the Final Environmental Impact Report of the Apartment Moratorium Area and establishing findings. At the October 14, 1987, Council meeting, Mr. Robert Riggle, 712 Cross Street, Lodi, addressed the Council requesting that the boundaries of the Apartment Moratorium Area be expanded to include all of the 300 block of North Stockton Street. THE LODI CITY COUNCIL WILL BE CONSIDERING THIS REQUEST AT ITS REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 21, 1987. THE COUNCIL MEETING WILL COMMENCE AT 7:30 P.M. AND WILL BE HELD IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT 221 W. PINE STREET, LODI. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact my office, telephone 333-6702. Very truly yours, Alice M.

Rezoning to R-1 would halt any more conversions in the area. Overriding Considerations The continuanc— o ttre adopted housing policies will strain current infrastucture in the area in question. Additional high-density development will further result in increased traffic, circulation, and parking problems, and the increased demand for public services and facilities. A variety of housing can be constructed elsewhere in Lodi, especially in areas that are better suited for it (in terms of infrastructure capacity). 2) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The moratorium zoning alternative conflicts with the adopted housing policies dealing with the San Joaquin Council of Governments Fair Share Housing Allocation Plan since no new additions to the housing stock in the East Side Area would occur. (Table 3-1, p.4) Finding Conversions in the study have tended to be of low -quality that have barely met the standards for adequacy. Adequate housing can be constructed elsewhere in Lodi that wili meet the requirements of the Fair Share Housing Allocation Plan. 3) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Rezoning the study area to R-1 will preserve the low-density character of the East Side Neighborhood. (Table 3-1, p. 14) -i- FIND/EIR/TXTC.UIB Finding Phis is a beneficial impact. By eliminating any further conversions to higher densities, the rezoning would halt any further loss of single-family homes and slow the shift in neighborhood demographics. B. ALTERNATIVES TO OPTION 2 The EIR discusses three alternatives to Option 2. The findings on each are as follows: Alternative 1 (Option 1: Pre -moratorium Zoning Alternative) This alternative would allow the zoning prior to implementation of the moratorium to continue (p. 2-5) Finding This alternative would allow for the eventual conversion of 2,643 single-family homes to 17,180 multi -family units and creates additional problems with 41legal parking and the resultant inadequacy of the existing infrastructure. $17.9 million in capital improvements to the City's water sewerage and drainage systems would be required to serve the full build -out of this area under the prior zoning. Demographic shifts to a younger and more transient population would further change the character of the neighborhood. Alternative 2 (Option 3: Multi- lex Alternative All' zoning under this -a ternative would be reduced to single-family (R-1), duplex (11-2), triplex (R-3), or fourpiex (R-4) except in commercial or ineastrial designations. (p. 2-6) Finding This alternative would have a slower conversion rate than Alternative 1 (10,572 compared to 17,180 multi -family units). Full buildout under this alternative would require $15 million in capital improvements. The low-density character and the demographic make-up of the East Side will continue to change although at a much slower rate. Alternative 30 tion 4: Concentrated Multi -family Zoning Alternative This a tel-ernative would only allow -single-family conversions in three target areas while the rest of the study area is reduced to R-1. (p. 2-6) Finding F-uTT buildout, under this alternative would result in the conversion of 341 single-family homes to 2,217 multi -family units. Capital improvements co the area infrastructure would cost $6.2 million. All the other problems associated with apartment construction (i.e. parking, demographic change, loss of low-density character, etc.) would still occur in the target areas and areas immediately adjacent to it. FIND/EIR/TXTD.OiB C. GROWTH -INDUCING IMPACT The moratorium zoning alternative would not have a growth -inducing impact in the study area but would create such pressure outside the study area. Finding The study area is the area originally determined to suffer the most from continued high-density development. High density development outside the area is considered more desirable since their impacts are spread out over a wider area and because these areas are typically better equipped to handle the increased capacity caused by higher densities.
