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.

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. Reimche
City Clerk

TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: OCTOBER 14, 1487
SUBJECT: FINDINGS OF APPROVAL FOR EAST SIDE PLAN ALTERNATIVES ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT, OPTION 2: MORATORIUM ZONING ALTERNATIVE- EIR 87-;
A. 1) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Rezoning the study area to R-1 will conflict with the adopted housing
policies promoting the construction of a variety of housing in the: East
Side Neighborhood (Table 3-1, p. 3)_
Finding
The adopted housing policies have tended to promote the conversion of
single-family homes to multi -family units at an average rate of 5.5
to 1. 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.
