AGENDA TITLE: Continue Public Hearing to October 19, 2016 to Consider Adopting a Resolution
Eliminating the Reduced Residential Impact Fee Structure for Low- and Medium -
Density Zoning Designations
MEETING DATE: September 7, 2016
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Continue public hearing to October 19, 2016 to consider adopting a
resolution eliminating the Reduced Residential Impact Fee Structure
for low- and medium -density zoning designations.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Impact Mitigation Fee program was adopted by the Lodi City
Council on August 15, 2012. At that time, residential development
activity in Lodi was essentially non-existent.
At the request of the building community, and in response to the housing downturn created by the Great
Recession, Council approved a reduced residential impact fee schedule to financially incentivize the
development of new residential housing units in all density categories. The reduced fee schedule applies
to only residential land uses and represents a discount of approximately 60 percent.
Beginning in 2014, the residential development activity in Lodi started to gain substantial momentum.
Currently, there are four active residential developments totaling over 700 single-family lots, along with
various, smaller infill developments that have been approved. Additionally, there are three multi -family
projects consisting of nearly 400 units currently making their way through the approval process. The
majority of these approved units will remain subject to the current reduced rate structure through
independent development agreements that extend through December 2019.
It is projected that slightly over 600 residential units could be occupied by the end of 2019. While this
projection is quite optimistic based on Lodi's historic growth rate, it is possible due to the amount of
approved low- and medium -density residential units available for construction. Because most of these
units are subject to the reduced fees through development agreements, it could be argued that over the
next three years, the City's investment to incentivize development could reach an estimated $5 million in
one-time reduced impact fees. However, it must be acknowledged this incentivized residential growth
will be financially beneficial to City residents and businesses because those 600 units could also
generate an estimated $600,000 annually in property tax and other revenues that will contribute to the
long term financial health and stability of the community.
On July 26, 2016, Staff provided a Council shirtsleeve presentation including an overview of the current
impact fee structure, the current residential development climate, and a comparison of impact fees in Lodi
with surrounding cities. The focus of the presentation was eliminating the reduced residential impact fee
structure. Feedback at this meeting suggests the City Council and the Building Industry Association of the

Greater Valley generally agree that the reduced fees have done the job to spur residential growth in the City
of Lodi and it is now appropriate to eliminate the reduced fee structure. To maintain the incentive to
construct high-density and infill projects, staff recommends retaining the reduced fee structure for high-
density zoning designations and infill projects of all densities that consist of less than 10 lots. All reduced
impact fees would expire on December 31, 2019.
On August 17, 2016, Council set a public hearing for September 7, 2016 to consider eliminating the reduced
residential impact fee structure. Regrettably, the public hearing process must be re-initiated to account for
the neighborhood park fee being mistakenly excluded from the fee schedules (Exhibits A & B) attached to
the August 17, 2016 Council action. Both exhibits have been revised to include the neighborhood park fee.
The summary of the regular fees is provided in Exhibit A. A summary of the reduced fees is provided in
Exhibit B. The action requested is to continue the public hearing to October 19, 2016 to consider adopting a
resolution eliminating the reduced residential impact fee structure for low- and medium -density zoning
designations effective December 19, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT: Building projections suggest the reduced impact fees, along with the
improved economy have resulted in substantial building activity that will
generate approximately $1,000 per unit annually in property taxes and
other revenues. Continued underfunding of the City's Development Impact
Fee Program is not recommended.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
