6. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is
on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Pennino called for the Public Hearing to
consider the appeal of a Use -Permit to allow a dance club with alcohol on the second
floor of the Richmaid Building at 112 South Cherokee Lane.
The matter was introduced by Community Development Director Bartlam who presented
the following information regarding the matter.
The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on this item on June 23, 1997.
Staffs recommendations were approved on a 4 to 2 vote and are embodied by Resolution
No. 97-11. Among the required conditions are; that the project abide by the City's Noise
Ordinance; that physical improvements be made to the parking area as well as the
building itself; and that security officers meet Lodi Police Department criteria, be present
at all times.
The Commission heard complaints from residents on Cherokee Lane and on East Oak
and East Walnut Streets. The complainants were unified in their opposition to the
potential for noise problems generated by the live music and also by patrons of the dance
club. In addition, the residents stated that general problems in the neighborhood might
increase as a result of the club (i.e. crime and litter). A formal appeal signed by five
neighbors in the immediate vicinity of the proposed club was received on June 27, 1997.
Analysis: Staffs recommendation for denial of the appeal is based on two main points.
The first of these is that staff feels Cherokee Lane is a good location for this type of use.
Virtually the entire length of Cherokee Lane is zoned C-2, General Commercial, with few
residences. Staff feels that few, if any, existing locations in this part of Lodi would be
more appropriate for such a use.
Adherence to the required conditions will mitigate any potential adverse impacts which
would tend to impact those few residents who do live nearby, including inadequate
parking, unnecessarily loud patrons after hours, and noise emanating from the upper
story windows. In fact, adherence to the conditions will yield property improvements
which may not be seen otherwise. Such improvements would include; resurfacing,
restriping, and lighting of the parking lot; removal or screening of equipment being stored
on the site; abatement of weeds and other debris; and building facade improvements.
Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, a bar (i.e. the serving of alcohol) is allowed in
the C-2 zone by right, with no discretionary approval necessary.- The approval sought
under this Use Permit is for a dance club offering primarily dancing and live entertainment
(music). Beer and wine will be served secondarily to the dancing. In fact, the City has
already approved the license for this location.
Mr. Bartlam then responded to questions regarding the subject as were posed by
members of the City Council.
Hearing Opened to the Public
Virginia Snyder, 303 Louie Avenue, Lodi, referred to an article that appeared on
August 16, 1997 in The Record which indicated that State lawmakers have
decided to limit the number of alcohol outlets, citing that according to the
preamble of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, an overconcentration of liquor
stores in an area is a factor of violence experienced. Mrs. Snyder further stated
that police agree with legislators that too many alcohol outlets, even mom-and-
pop groceries that sell just beer and wine, contribute to crime and blight.

Continued August 20, 1997
Mrs. Snyder then presented a map for Council review that indicated an
overconcentration of establishments that sell alcoholic beverages in the Lodi
area.
2. Mr. Lou Kastan, 109 South Cherokee Lane, Lodi, stated that he was opposed to
the dance club indicating that he felt the mixture of alcohol and loud music can
cause a) more traffic on an already busy road; b) loud noises late at night
bothering residents in the area, and c) more police activity required to patrol the
area late at night.
3. Janice Baxter, 548 East Oak Street, Lodi, stated that she was one of many
citizens who have come to voice their objections to the Use Permit. She stated
that they feel that the noise level even through glass will not be very muted, and
that the club was going to cause more traffic in the area and the need for greater
police enforcement. Ms. Baxter indicated that they are striving to improve
business in the area and feels that there are already too many clubs.
4. Marcia Macias, 836 South Central, Lodi, talked in support of the club that they are
proposing to establish, indicating that it will not be problem proof. She stated that
she understands the concerns expressed, but that the property of many of the
people who spoke does not even face the Club. She explained the type of music
that will be played and the age group that they are hoping to attract. She asked
that they be given a chance.
Public Portion of Hearing Closed
Additional discussion followed by the City Council, with questions being directed to Mr.
Bartlam and to Ms. Macias.
ACTION:
The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock, Warner second, adopted
Resolution No. 97-121 denying the appeal of Use Permit No. 97-02 and adding the
following amended language (underlined):

Noes: Council Members - Mann
Absent: Council Members - None

8. REGULAR CALENDAR
a) This item was introduced by Community Development Director Bartlam who advised the
City Council that on May 7, 1997, the City Council approved a request from the Lodi
Downtown Business Association for the City of Lodi to retain and fund the services of Mr.
David Kilbourne of Downtown Revitalization Consultants for the purpose of conducting a
Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA) formation feasibility study. The cost of the
study, which was $5,000, was to be applied to the full BIA establishment fee in the event
the City decided to pursue full and formal BIA establishment.
Over the past six weeks, members of the BIA Ad -Hoc Committee met for the purpose of
determining whether there would be popular support for the establishment of a BIA in the
traditional Lodi downtown district. The six weeks consisted of BIA-oriented meetings,
workshops and presentations, and included the development of a Primary BIA Information
Package which was hand -delivered to all businesses (approximately 300) within the
suggested district boundaries.
A BIA Concept Introduction Workshop was held at Hazel's Bar and Grill on the evening of
July 29, 1997. Each of the business owners within the proposed district boundaries were
invited to attend the workshop. The workshop was well attended and informative dialogue
occurred relative to the merits and possible shortcomings of forming a BIA in downtown
Lodi. At the conclusion of the meetings' discussion, a poll was taken to determine
whether or not those in attendance favored moving forward with BIA establishment.
Better than 90% of those present voted positively to proceed with the BIA.
Following the workshop, the BIA Ad -Hoc Committee met on July 30, 1997. The
Committee voted unanimously to proceed with BIA establishment at this time. Based
upon the committee's concurrence and the high degree of support shown within the Lodi
business community, the consultant recommended that the City move immediately ahead
through the full BIA establishment process. Six months is the estimated time frame within
which to complete the BIA formation.
Mr. David Kilbourne of the Downtown Revitalization Consultants then addressed the City
Council giving a broad overview of the process involved in forming a Downtown Business
Improvement Area (BIA). Mr. Kilbourne then responded to questions as were posed by
members of the City Council.
The following persons spoke in support of the development of a Downtown Lodi Business
Improvement Area (BIA) and urged the City Council to approve the Agreement for
Professional Service between the City of Lodi and Downtown Revitalization Consultants
for the coordination of the development of a Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area
under California SB 1424 (Section 36500 et seq. California Street and Highway Code)
and according to the Scope of Work outlined:
1. Tony Segale, P. O. Box 1027, Lodi, President of the Lodi Downtown Business
Association (LDBA);
2. Barbara McWilliams, owner of Poser's TV and Radio, 208 South School Street,
Lodi;
3. Alan Goldberg, Farmers and Merchants Bank and Treasurer and Director of
LDBA;
4. Bruce Sasaki, President of the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce; and
5. Mary Bagnell, owner of Ms. M's in downtown Lodi.

Continued August 20, 1997
Following additional discussion with questions being directed to staff and those who had
spoken on the matter, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Mann, Warner
second, unanimously adopted Resolution No. 97-123 approving the agreement for
professional services between City of Lodi and Downtown Revitalization Consultants for
the coordination of the development of a Downtown Lodi Business Improvement Area
under California SB1424 (§36500 et. seq. California Streets and Highways Code) and
according to the Scope of Work.
FILE NO. CC -6, CC -72, CC -90 AND CC -300
b) This item was introduced by City Engineer Prima who advised the City Council that the
Downtown Multimodal Transportation Station Project is becoming closer to reality. A
difficult and time-consuming phase of the project has been dealing with the State and
Federal governments regarding historical preservation and in clearing the site for
hazardous materials. The hazardous materials issues have been resolved. Minor
cleanup work has been done by the Railroad. The County Environmental Health
Department, represented by Mr. Harlan Knoll, has been very cooperative in this effort.
The key to obtaining Federal funds programmed for acquiring the site is approval of
various documents regarding historical preservation. One requiring Council action is a
memorandum of agreement covering historical preservation plans and other
requirements. Because of the various Federal laws and funding sources involved, the
agreement is actually among the Federal Highway Administration, the State Historical
Preservation Officer, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. The City of Lodi,
the San Joaquin Rail Commission, and Caltrans are also concurring since they are the
agencies that will actually be preparing the plans and implementing the project. City staff
has concerns that, under the terms of the agreement, the State could take a total of up to
90 days to review and comment on the plans at three stages (35%, 50% and 100%).
However, we have been assured that the reviews will not take that long. Further, staff is
concerned about handing over project review and approval in this rather subjective arena
(historical preservation) to a State agency. Yet, this is part of the package of using
Federal funds for this project.
This project has received great support from elected officials, both locally and in the State
legislature. This support is known at Caltrans and the State Historical Preservation Office
and has been instrumental in expediting processing.
Addressing the City Council regarding the matter was the project architect, Mr. Richard
Thompson of Thompson and Associates, Architects. Mr. Thompson reviewed the site
plan and addressed the historical preservation issues.
Mr. Harry Montgomery of the San Joaquin Rail Commission, P. 0. Box 1810, Stockton,
also addressed the City Council regarding the matter and spoke about funding for the
project.
Jacque Schoenecker, P. O. Box 1810, Stockton, who is the newest member of the project
team, addressed the City Council regarding the scheduling for the project indicating that
the final design could be as early as October 1997, the construction bid process March
1998, construction commencing May 1998 and a completion date of around the first part
of December 1998.
Discussion followed with questions being directed to Mr. Prima and those who had
addressed the City Council regarding this matter.
Mr. Bob Johnson, 1311 Midvale Road, Lodi, expressed concern and disappointment
about the project stating that he feels that the City needs to take a serious look at this
matter.

Continued August 20, 1997
A lengthy discussion followed with additional questions being posed by members of the
City Council.
The City Council, on motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Sieglock, Pennino second,
unanimously received the project status report regarding the Downtown Multimodal
Transportation Station Project and adopted Resolution No. 97-124 authorizing the City
Manager to execute the Historical Preservation Agreement for the Downtown Multimodal
Transportation Station.

C) This item was introduced by City Engineer Prima who advised the City Council that the
Lodi District Chamber of Commerce operates a Street Faire in downtown Lodi twice a
year under the terms of an agreement originally approved by the City Council in 1993.
The agreement specifies the times and locations of streets which are allowed to be
closed. In general, the location is on School Street between Lodi Avenue and Lockeford
Street and portions of the adjacent side streets, and the closure is from Saturday night
through Sunday on the first weekends of May and October. Due to the Downtown
Revitalization Project, a temporary relocation of the Faire to Church Street in 1997 was
approved by the Council. The Faire brings in over 500 vendors and the event is attended
by thousands of people.
The Faire has become a victim of its success and regularly turns away vendors. The
Chamber of Commerce has requested that additional street space be approved for the
Faire. The success of the May Faire on Church Street, particularly with the use of the
adjacent parking lots for food and vendor booths and for vendor parking, led to
discussions about holding the Faire there permanently. However, although fewer booths
can be accommodated on School Street due to the new tree plantings, the attraction and
suitability of holding the Faire on School Street is very high. In discussing these issues
and the size of the Faire with Chamber representatives, the option of expanding the Faire
was considered and appears to be practical.
The layout of the proposed Faire location which Chamber and City staff have agreed
upon will allow the elimination of the center row of booths on Church Street that were a
source of crowding at the May 1997 Faire. The successful "food alley", located in the
City/Bank of America parking lot, will continue and a second, less intensive food area will
be provided on Elm Street near School Street. Food booths on School Street will not be
allowed. For the Fall 1997 Faire, the use of the portion of School Street south of Walnut
Street will not be allowed due to construction. The locations on Pine, Elm and Locust
streets west of Church Street will only be used if needed for additional vendors. The only
"new" location included in the layout is the portion of Walnut Street between School and
Church streets. This segment is needed to avoid long dead-end segments on both
Church and School streets. The proposed layout will accommodate approximately 900
vendors.
Mr. Prima presented diagrams of the proposed area and responded to questions
regarding the matter as were posed by the City Council.
Mayor Pennino expressed concerns regarding limiting the size of the event; complaints he
has received regarding security, and problems being encountered regarding cleanliness
of the area during the event.
Speaking in support of the proposed revised Agreement were:
1. Dorean Rice, Lodi District Chamber of Commerce;
2. Tony Segale, President of the Lodi Downtown Business Association (LDBA); and
3. Mary Bagnell, Ms. M's in downtown, Lodi.
Continued August 20, 1997
Citizen Bruce Sasaki who is also the President of the Lodi District Chamber of Commerce
discussed the problems with cleanliness when so many people are concentrated in such
a small space and indicated that he was baffled by the suggestion of other complaints.
He stated that the security issue is understandable.
Council Member Warner indicated that he believes the event needs to spread out, that the
needs of the churches in the area need to be kept in mind, that the possible expansion of
the event some day to Sacramento Street should be considered, and that the need to be
aware of options available regarding this event should be kept in mind.
Accolades regarding this event were given to Dorean Rice for her hard work and
dedication. Praise was also given to the many dedicated downtown merchants for their
ongoing efforts.
Following discussion, the City Council, on motion of Council Member Warner, Mann
second, authorized the City Manager to execute a revised agreement with the Lodi
District Chamber of Commerce expanding the location of the Street Fair and other minor
changes by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Land, Mann, Sieglock and Warner
Noes: Council Members - Pennino (Mayor)
Absent: Council Members - None
Mayor Pennino indicated that he was voting no for the reasons he outlined as heretofore
set forth.
