ORD. NO. 1353
INTRO.
Council Member Snider then moved for introduction of
Ordinance No. 1353 - An Ordinance amending Lodi City Code
Chapter 27, Section 27-18, Zoning relating to Site Plan and
Architectural approval. The motion was seconded by Council
Member Olson and carried by a unanimous vote of all Council
Members present.
Notice thereof having been published in accordance with law
and affidavit of publication being on file in the office of
the City Clerk, Mayor Hirschman called for the Public
Hearing to consider changing the name of Myrtle Avenue and
its future extension to Child Avenue and to amend the
Specific Plan of the street between Victor Road (State
Route 12) and East Pine Street, Lodi.
The following background information regarding the subject
Public Hearing was presented by Staff:
Name Change: The City of Lodi presently has an adopted
Specific Plan for Myrtle Street from Harney Lane to Turner
Road. San Joaquin County recently changed the name of
Myrtle Street in the County jurisdiction (north of Victor
Road) to Guild Avenue. The Lodi Planning Commission at
their public hearing of April 22, 1985 reviewed this
proposed name change and reccnTended to the City Council
that the name of "Myrtle Street" be changed to "Guild
Avenue".
Since this subject street has not been constructed south of
Victor Road, the proposed name change does not present a
hardship on any property owner. The only development that
the name change does affect is the recent Teresi lot split
containing the DART Container Development. However, Myrtle
Street, as shown on the parcel map, is not being
constructed under the first phase of DART Container's
improvements.
Alignment Change - As part of the DART Container
Development, the street alignment of Myrtle Street between
Pine and Victor Road was changed slightly from the specific
plan. The City Council at its Regular Meeting of January
2, 1985, gave the Public Works Director specific authority
to sign the parcel map since the street alignment was
different from the specific plan but conceptually in
conformance with it. Staff recommended that the alignment
of the specific plan between Pine and Victor Road be
changed to conform to the approved alignments shown on the
DART Container Development Parcel Map.
Diagrams of the subject area were presented by Public works
Director Ronsko for Council's perusal.
There being no persons in the audience wishing to speak on
the matter, Mayor Hinchman closed the Public Hearing.
Following discussion with questions being directed to
Staff, Council, on motion of Council Menber Olson, Reid
second, introduced Ordinance No. 1354 changing the name of
Myrtle Avenue and its future extension to Guild Avenue and
amending the Specific Plan of the street between Victor
Road (State Route 12) and East Pine Street Dodi.

REPORTS OF THE
CITY MANAGER
DIAL -A -RIDE
Council was apprised that the Public -Needs Hearing and the
subsequent evaluation of the City's Dial -A -Ride system,
`- brought forth a number of concerns: long wait time, desire
for Saturday and Sunday service, desire for a fixed route
system, and people under age 60 not being able to afford a
$2.00 one-way trip on Dial -A -Ride.
Assistant City Manager apprised the Council that a portion
of the reason for long wait time is the demand for service
at times greater than the capability of the system. Mr.
Glenn further reported that we are experiencing some
unreliability with some vehicles in the City's fleet, which
has resulted in vehicles being out of service for long
periods of ne. It is felt that this problem can be
overcame by beginning a program of replacing the present
vehicle fleet with gasoline -powered vehicles, and to add an
additional vehicle to the fleet.
At the request of Staff, Cal Trans evaluated the cost of a
fixed route system for the City of Lodi to be over $200,000
per year. This estimate was made over four year ago. It
was also felt at that time that such a system would not be
accessable to a majority of the citizens.
