Dear Mr. Thomas:
Jones & Stokes Associates, Inc., is pleased to submit this
proposal to update and revise the City of Lodi General Plan
Based on our understanding of the planning issues facing
Lodi and the task force meetings attended by Ron Bass, we have.
developed a work program that will enable us to prepare a
comprehensive, legally adequate general plan update.
Our work program includes several optional items which we
j feel would contribute to the quality of Lodi's plan. These' A
include an .urban design component, -'a fiscal and economic impact
study, and a multi -colored -general plan map. The cost of these
items is not included in our base proposal. We ;could be glad to
discuss each of them with you.
If you have any questions about our proposal, please i
contact Ron Bass at 444-5638. We look forward to the
(W opportunity to work with you on the General Plan Update.
Sincerely,

A comprehensive update of the general plan is an important
event in the life of any city confronting the kind of growth
pressures and constraints that Lodi faces. The process of
preparing the plan is an opportunity for the community to take
stock of current conditions and to forge a new consensus on
future development. The resulting plant because of its legal-
-4
egalsi nificance will g rofoundl influence develo tent the local
r
P_ Y P
economy, and environmental, quality for .years to come. The
General Plan Environmental Impact Report will serve as a Master
Environmental Assessment (MEA) and will provide the substantial
X
information base necessary for making the environmental review
process function efficiently and effectively for future proj-
ects
n
Understanding the importance of the general plan to Lodi,
Jones & Stokes Associates has outlined a 10 -phase process for
r
revising and updating the Lodi General Plan. The following key
features of our approach should be noted.
Active Task Force Involvement
x,
The planning process outlined provides for the active_
involvement of the task force at critical decision points. Task
force members will ,be instrumental in contributing their exper-
xper-tise`and
tise anddiverse perspectives to the planning process.
Extensive Data .and Analysis
'
The proposal calls for extensive data collection and analy-
sis. While much information has been and is currently being
collected as a part of the eastside study, it must be expanded
in many areas. The resulting data will be extensive and a
valuable resource for detailed subsequent planning and environ-
mental assessment efforts.
Io"
Planning Options Review
!(
The proposal calls for a thorough technical and public
review of planning options before the plan is prepared in draft
form for formal review. As discussed at the last Task Force
1
meeting, we will develop four futire-year alternatives:
Master Environmental Assessment
` The proposal includes the preparation of an MEA of the
environmental characteristics of 'Lodi. This assessment -will
identify the existing conditions,
capacities, `and :facilities
that could affect future development in 'Lodi. This master
assessment.will serve several purposes, including:
o identifying planning and environmental constraints;
o providing a central source of environmental data for
preparing future Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) and
Negative Declarations on development projects in Lodi;
o identifying long-range, area -wide, and cumulative im-
pacts that are difficult to assess on an individual -
project basis;
o serving as the ETR for the adoption of the General Plan.
`•. Legal Adequacy
The process for, revising the plan will help ensure that the
general plan ultimately adopted by, the City Council is legally
R. adequate and able to withstand any possible legal challenges.
Phase I. Project Initiation
The purpose of this phase is to establish a solid program
foundation for the st,ccessful completion of the general plan
revision and MEA ^reparation.
Task 1. Project Scoping
At the outset of the project, the Jones & Stokes project
manager will meet with Lodi City staff to review the contract
.'_ and work program in detail and establish working procedures for
their execution and administration. Key team members will tour
Lodi with City staff. The project manager will also meet with
each consulting team .member to review relevant portions of the
work program and to es;-ablish a detailed schedule for completion
of work.
Phase II. Issue Identification
Early in the project Jones & Stokes will undertake an
intensive effort to identify community concerns and planning
issues that will guide data collection and subsequent policy
development. A combination of techniques will be used in this
effort.
Task 1. Initial Task Force Meeting
t� Jones & Stokes Associates will attend a task force meeting
to 1) explain State Planning Law requirements and the role of
the general plan; 2) outline the process to be followed in
revising Lodi's General Plan and how individuals and orga-
nization can participate in shaping the plan; and 3) solicit
general and specific comments on growth, environmental quality,
and community character issues. Well in advance of the meeting,
the Consultants will prepare an information packet. This should
be a well-publicized meeting with members of the corranunity
encouraged to attend.
" Tusk 2. Community Response Form
Jones & Stokes, working with City staff, will prepare`_a
response form to allow residents to register written comments on
how they view Lodi today, what qualities should be preserved,
- and how the community should grow. The response form should be
�

,-
r
f
f

i
widely distributed by reproduction in newspapers, by
distribution at key locations around town., or a combination of
these methods. It will be similar to the Dne used in the East
Side Residential Density Study.
Task 3. Interviews
The Consultants will spend 2 to 3 days in Lodi conducting
informal interviews with key City staff members, members of the
City Council and Planning Commission, other appropriate City
Departments, and interested community groups. The Consultants
will rely on City staff to identify interested groups and sched-
ule interviews. Interviews with City Council and Planning
Commission members will_be arranged individually at the conve-
nience of the Council members and Commissioners.
Task 4. Community Concerns Summary Report
The Consultants will prepare a report summarizing the
information gleaned from the initial task force meeting, the
ir�iormal interviews, and the written response forms. A draft of
the report will be submitted to City staff for review before the
final report is prepared. The report will be used initially by
the Consultants to focus data collection and analysis efforts in
Phase III. After sufficient review 50 copies of the final
report will be distributed to the Task Force, City Council,
Planning Commission, and community.
Phase III. Data Collection and Analvsis
Jones & Stokes Associates will undertake a thorough update
of information on all issues to be addressed in the general plan
revision. Some existing information developed for the East Side
Residential Density Study can be used with limited review for
accuracy and currency. In other areas where existing informa-
tion is either deficient or entirely lacking, collection of
original data will be required. The analysis of the data will
highlight implications for land use and development. The data
and analysis will be summarized in a Background Report that will
be used as a data source for the general plan and the environ-
mental setting portion of the general plan environmental impact
report and MEA. Wherever possible, information will be mapped.
The specific tasks to be undertaken as a part of this phase are
outlined below:
Task 1. Land Use
The Consultants will analyze existing land use patterns and
issues and review local and regional land use plans and policies
for relevance to Lodi. This analysis will include:

elusions. The analysis will include:
o Review of city budget and other relevant information
on revenues and costs: Review of the current struc-
ture of taxes and fees and the relative importance of
various City revenue sources; analysis of recent
trends in revenues and costs; and assessment of the
operating requirements of the City's services.
s
o Identification of service requirements associated with
future growth: Interview of representatives of each
major City service department to assess the demand for
public services and the potential for impacts on
- general fund and enterprise functions; evaluation of
the capacity of City services to accommodate future
growth identification of the likely difficulties that
may arise in providing City services; summary of the
needs for augmented services and additional capital
improvements; and provision of order -of -magnitude
estimatesofsignificant service costs. The analysis
will highlight important issues affecting service
delivery, including location of development, service
thresholds, and differences among land uses.
o Assessment of revenue -generating potential for devel-
opment: Evaluation of sources of City revenues for
both general fund and enterprise services; assessment,
of the outlook for local and state/federal revenue
sources, Igiven uncertainties affecting non -local
sources and proposed changes to government finance;
and provision of comparative estimates of City reve-
nues by land use.
Task 11. Backq�ound Report and Review
The Information. developed in -Tasks 1 through 10 will. be:,
compiled in a Background Report with `both text and ',maps.` The'
text will include `descriptive material and analysis. For each
issue group, the text will include a summary of findings 'and 'a
discussion of the significance of ,the findings in terms of
w issues, opportunities, and constraints to be addressed in gener-
al plan policy. The Background Report will serve as background
to the general plan and the existing baseline for the general
p' an EIR. -
Wherever possible, information will be mapped and produced
in black and white in the Background Report. This consultants
assume that the City will be responsible for providing a current
base map for the general plan project.
Twenty copies of the draft Background Report will be sub-
mitted to Task Force members and the City of Lodi. staff for
review and comment. -
Task 12. Second Task Force Meeting
Jones & Stokes will attend a second Task Force meeting to
explain the findings and major conclusions in the Background
F
Report.
Task 13: Final Background Report
Following review by Task Force and City of Lodi staff, one
camera-ready copy of the Background Report will be submitted to
the City for reproduction and distribution.
Phase iv. Identification and Screening
of Planning Options
Based on the Community Concerns Summary Report prepared in
Phase II and the Background Report prepared in Phase III, the
Consultants, working closely with City- of Lodi staff, will
identify a set of planning options for analysis in Phase V.
_A
Task 2: Screening Options'
Working closely with City staff, the: Consultants will
narrow the range of planning options to those key alternatives
that will provide the City with clear choices-,:, concerning the
City's future development. Once consensus is reached between
City, staff and the consultants, the consultants will define four
key planning options to be analyzed in Phase 'V and submit a more
detailed outline of options to City staff for review and confir-
nation. This will include one land use option that assumes a 2
percent growth rate, .a second at a 4 percent growth rate, and a
third that assumes Measure "A" remains in place. It will also
include the existing general plan alternative. Calculations of
buildout potential will be prepared for these four land use
options.
Phase V. Assessment and Review of Planning Options
Jones & Stokes Associates will conduct a rigorous compara-
tive assessment of the key planning options identified in Phase
IV, subject the options and assessment to public review, and
seek direction from the Task Force, Planning Commission, and
City Council on the preferred planning option or combination of
options
that will form the basis of the draft general plan.
Task 1.
Assessment of Planning Options
The
options assessment report will analyze the impacts of
the four
land use options in relatively equal detail. Following
is our
scope of work for analyzing the impacts of each land use
option:
A.
Land Use
o
Identification of buildout for each category of land use
(e.g., residential, commercial, industrial) and each
designated density.
o
Identification on a land use map of vacant land needed'
to accommodate proposed buildout.
o
Quantify the acreage of agricultural land that would
'have to be converted to urban uses.
o
Describe direct changes. in land use which would occur
With buildout of each option.`
o
Discuss the relative importance (significance) of, the
above land use changes.
o `.Summary
of key land use policy ramifications of each
option.
13
Yh S
41
o rDiscuss and evaluate the beneficial and adverse implica
tions of buildout of each option on existing .land use
patterns, zoning, residential densities, commercial
areas,-Fnd industrial areas. Consider impacts associ-
ated with industrial -residential interfaces, heavy
commercial -residential interfaces, and transitional
zoning.
B. Traffic and Circulation
o Convert the land use buildout assumptions into a format
that presents the data in traffic zones.
o Based on the traffic zone data developed above, verify
the MINUTP traffic model developed and calibrated by
TJKM to compute future traffic volumes and perform an
analysis of a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic increases on
major City roadways in Lodi.
o The above analysis will identify Level of Service (LOS)
and Volume/Capacity (VC) ratios at the same key inter-
sections analyzed by TJKM. These include:
Presentation of traffic impact data in comparative
fashion using tables as appropriate.
- Identification and description of those intersections
and roadway links that would experience significant
traffic impacts.
- Identification of potential roadway improvements that
would. be necessary to mitigate identified significant
impacts of each option including street widening, new
intersections, signalization, and other measures. The
costs: of these improvements will be estimated at an
order -of -magnitude level from data to be provided by
the City Public Works Department.
o Assumptions. Jones & Stokes Associates scope of work
and proposed budget for the circulation assessment are
based on the following assumptions:
- The traffic analysis c existing conditions in Lodi as
prepared by TJKM includes land use designations by
traffic zones;
- The acreage of vacant land and existing land uses has
been designated by traffic zone by TJKM;
-- The traffic model prepared by TJKM is properly
calibrated to reflect existing conditions and is
available for our use; -
- TJKM has analyzed both existing traffic conditions and
traffic conditions under buildout of the existing
general plan, and;
14 ,
_
t 1
There will be no changes in the future roadway network
as developed by TJKM.
If any of the above . assumptions prove to be incorrect
additional efforts may be necessary to conduct the traff is
analyses. Such efforts are not included in our scope of work
and a separate cost would have to be negotiated.
C. Population, Employment, Housing
o Discuss and evaluate how each option will affect future
city-wide population growth in terms of total popu-
lation, household size, age, ethnic mix, education, and
household income levels.
o Describe and evaluate how each option will impact
city-wide housing in terms of the mix of housing types
and future supply.
o Discuss how each option will affect city-wide employment
-
by industry and levels of employment. Identify gener-
alized locations where new employment will occur.
o Evaluate the balance between housing and future job
opportunities in the City.
'rp
D. Air Quality
s --
o Conduct microscale air quality analyses at six inter-
sections using projected data from the traffic model.
}'
o Estimate the amount of ozone precursors resulting from
b 4 d f 4 4 h' '1
ui ou o each option using ve is e mi es travelled
#: (VMT) from the traffic model.

E. Noise
o Use BBN Report to character]-ze future airport and rail
road noise.
- Summarize new improvements which will.be needed to
supply water under, buildout of each 'option..

growth.
- Summarize sewer improvements which will be needed
-
to support planned growth.
- Compare the storm drainage flows of the options to
existing facilities.
-
- Summarize drainage system improvements which will

Outline mitigation measures for the above options.
Discuss mitigation measures which can reduce ad-
verse environmental and fiscal impacts on water,
sewer, and drainage services and which can help
finance needed improvements.
Solid Waste
- Evaluate the relationship of projected solid waste
generation versus projected landfill capacity..
Identify long-term disposal options.
Outline mitigation measures to reduce adverse
€r=
impacts.
Emergency Services

terms of the location of stations, patrol dis-
tricts, and the amount of personnel and equipment;
required to.serve the City,
- Identify .areas where emergency service provision
could be strained by future development.
- Outline mitigation measures wll ch can reduce ad-
verse impacts on fire and police services.
- Describe the- impact of increased student enrollment
on the school district and its facilities.

ment such as erosion, geologic hazards, and loss of
agricultural production.
- Identify general mitigation measures, where avail-
able, for geologic impacts.
Water Resources
- Discuss the implications of existing levies and
floodplains for each option.
_.

.i r'
- Identify possible solutions to water quality, ,and
outline mitigation-measures(i.e.,.land use, Chan-
nelization, recharge) which can reduce potential
adverse environmental impacts.
Plant and Animal Communities
- Review existing data to determine the location and
potential significant adverse environmental impacts
on federal/state listed rare, threatened, and
endangered plant and animal species, and species
identified in the City's Heritage Tree Ordinance.
- Outline mitigation measures which can reduce im-
pacts on federal/state listed rare, threatened, and
endangered plant and animal species and significant
habitats.
One camera-ready copy of the Options Assessment Report will
be submitted to the City for reproduction and distribution.
Task 2: Public Review
The Planning Options Assessment Report will be made avail-
able for public review. The consultants will also attend a task
force meeting to present the documents, respond to questions,
and solicit reactions to the planning options and assessment.
We urge the task force to encourage public involvement in this
meeting. Response forms for written comments will also be
prepared and distributed. The consultants will work closely
with City staff to develop publicity for the public review
process and task force meeting.
Task 3. Selection of Preferred Option
This task will be the most critical one in the general plan
revision process. Jones '& Stokes Associates will review the
planning options and assessment with the Task Force, Planning
Commission, and City Council. The meetings with the Planning
Commission and City Council need not be formal public hearings,
although both bodies should take comments from the public.
At the end of this process the Planning Commission and City
Council must give the consultants clear direction on the pre-
ferred option or the combination of options the consultants
should use as the basis for preparing the draft general plan.
Phase VI. Draft General Plan Preparation
Based on the directionset by the Task Force, Planning
Commission, and City Council in Phase V, Jones & Stokes Associ-
ates will prepare the draft general plan.
18
Task 1 Prepare. Policy Document
Jones & Stokes Associates will prepare th--.general 'plan
based oii.the general direction -set out by the Task Force,..Plan-
ning Commission, and City Council in Phase V. The Consultants
recommend that the draft review documents be prepared in three
parts: 1) Policy Document; 2) the Backgroun- Report developed
in Phase III; and 3) the Draft Environmental Impact Re-
port/Master Environmental Assessment.
The Policy Document would address the full range of issues
specified by state planning law and those of particular local
importance, specifically: -
o Land Use Element (including an urban design component
(optional) and school locations)
i`
o Circulation Element
o Housing Element
o Open Space Element
o Safety Element
o Conservation Element
o Noise Element
o Growth Management Element
The Growth Management element will be the key optional element
and will include policies that will enable Lodi to replace the
provisions of Measure "A." This part of the document would
include goals, policies, a diagram (map). of proposed land uses,
specification of populationdensity and building intensity
standards, commercial and industrial development standards, a
diagram or maps to be used for policy purposes (e.g., open -space
plan), a program of specific implementation programs, quantified
housing objectives, and recommendation for preparation of subse-
quent specific plans.
A copy of the draft- Policy Document will be submitted to
staff for review before release of the document for publ-c
review (see Phase VII, Task 3). (After staff review, 100 copies
of the policy document will be submitted to the City.)
Phase VII: Draft EIR/MEA Preparation
Based on comments received on the Background Report during
the options assessment process, and on.the draft General Plan
prepared in Phase VI, the Consultants will prepare revisions to
the Background Report and prepare the Draft EIR/MEA.
Task 3. Revise Draft General Plan/EIR
Based,on staff comments, the.draft General Plan and EIR/MEA
-
will be revised as necessary. One camera-ready copy will be
i771 submitted to the City for reproduction and distribution.
Phase VIII. Public Review
Task 2: Prepare Draft EIR/MFA Impact Analysis
The Draft EIR and MEA will consist of a refined version of
the assessment prepared for the option or combination of options
selected in Phase V. The EIR will only analyze one new alterna-
tive (the preferred option) in addition to those already an-
alyzed in the options assessment report. The scope of analysis
for the preferred option will be the same as for the alterna-
tives analyzed in Phase V except that detailed mitigation mea-
sures will be developed. The alternatives analyzed in Phase V
will be summarized and incorporated by reference. The Draft
EIR/MRA will include a detailed discussion of area -wide and
cumulative impacts of future development and recommended mitiga-
tion measures that could be applied to minimize the environ-
mental impacts. of future development proposals. The MEA will
serve as a "first tier" for the preparation of tiered EIRs and
Negative Declarations.
A preliminary draft General Plan/EIR/MEA will be submitted
for review by City staff prior to publication.
Task 3. Revise Draft General Plan/EIR
Based,on staff comments, the.draft General Plan and EIR/MEA
-
will be revised as necessary. One camera-ready copy will be
i771 submitted to the City for reproduction and distribution.
Phase VIII. Public Review
Task 2. City Council'Public Hearings
The consultants will attend two public hearings before the
Lodi City Council to�present the draft.plan and EIR/MEA, respond
to questions and record the decisions of the City Council.- -(At
this point, the decisions should not be ,in the form of a formal
resolution of adoption, but straw votes on various issues.)
Phase IX. Final General Plan/EIR/MEA
Following public review of the draft general plan and
EIR/MEA, the consultants will prepare the General Plan for
adoption and respond to comments on the draft and the EIR/MEA.
Task 1. General Plan EIR/MEA Revision
The consultants will reviewcommentsreceived during the
review process and prepare written responses to each. The text
of the EIR/MEA will be revised as necessary.
P_ Task 2. City Council Adoption
The consultants will attend final meetings of the Lodi
Planning Commission/City Council for adoption of the General
Plan and certification of the EIR/MEA.
;T- Task 3: Final Plan/MEA Production
Following adoption by the City Council, the consultants
will prepare r_the final general plan and MEA for publication.
The formal plan ;will include the Policy Document (Goals,_Pol-
