Environmental Impact Report for Taves Park and responded to
questions regarding the document as were posed by the Council.
The following persons spoke in favor of the recommendations
regarding Taves Park:
a) Mr. Fred Baker, Attorney -at -Law, representing Dr. Taves,
317 W. Lodi Avenue, Lodi.
b) Mr. Glen Bammmbach, Baumbach-Piazza, 323 W. Elm Street,
Lodi
39
Continued September 18, 1985
There were no persons wishing to speak in opposition to the
matters, and the public portion of the hearing was closed.
On motion of Council Member Olson, Reid second, Council
certified as adequate the Final Environmental Impact Report for
Taves Park and established the following findings:
A. Environmental Impact I
Impact: The project will result in the loss of 23.6
acres of prime agricultural soil. If the project is
approved, this loss cannot be mitigated.
Finding: All of the land in and around the City of Lodi
is designated as prime agricultural soil.
The City does not have the option of building on
"non -prime" agricultural soils in order to preserve the
prime soils. Every development built in the City, small or
large, utilizes from prime agricultural soil. The
residential, commercial and industrial needs of the City
necessitates score urbanization of agricultural land.
The City of Lodi has planned and constructed its utility
system to serve the area with wager, sewer and storm
drainage in anticipation of the area developing. The
existing infrastructure will allow develop ent of the area
without costly expenditures of public funds for the
extension or construction of major new lines.
Overriding Considerations:
a) Before the adoption of the "Greenbelt Initiative" in
August 1981, the parcel in question has been designated for
residential development for many years by the City of Lodi
General Plan. The areas directly to the east of the
project site have been undergoing urbanization or will be
in the near future. Rural residential development also
exists to the south of the parcel but is not within the
City limits. Residential and ccemmercial development is
planned for the parcel adjacent to the Taves parcel and the
proposed development will be a logical extension of the
urbanized area.
b) If this project were not approved, it could affect the
long-term, housing supply in Lodi. At this time, there are
about 338 acres of residential -zoned land left for
development in the city limits. However, most of this has
already been planned for development and the buildout is
approximately 3.75 years. Once this supply of housing is
used up there are very few new subdivisions to take their
place. Much of this is a result of the "Greenbelt
Initiative" which has significantly restricted the
possibility of new development. Residential projects often
take 2-3 years from the planning stage to when the hones
are built. Even if the Taves project were approved, it
might be 1987 before any houses are completed in this
project. By then the number of existing subdivision lots
will be substantially reduced.
B. Environmental impact II
Ingact: Urbanization of subject parcel will affect
adjacent agricultural parcels.
Continued September 18, 1985
Finding: The Taves property is adjacent to proposed
urban development on the east and existing rural
residential development to the south. There would be some
modification of agricultural practices on the east parcel
until it is developed. Problems of vandalism and
trespassing can be mitigated by the construction of a solid
fence or wall along the eastern edge of the Taves parcel.
This mitigation may not be required if The Meadows is
developed before Taves Park. The agricultural land to the
west will require no modification of farming practices, as
it is separated from the subject parcel by Lower Sacramento
Road which bears a right-of-way of 80 feet. The parcel to
the north is separated by Kettleman Lane which has a
right-of-way of 120 feet and is developed wth commercial
uses.
C. Environmental hrPact III
Impact: The development of the subject parcel will
generate 8,000 vehicle trips per day which will be added to
the surrounding streets.
Finding: Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane will
be restriped for more lanes and a 4 -way traffic signal.
(There is currently a 4 -way stop) will be installed at the
intersection of the two streets. Improvements that will be
made to Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane will
improve the overall traffic flow.
D. Environmental Impact IV
impact: The project will produce additional vehicle
generated air pollution.
Finding: Based on air quality projections, the amount of
additional air pollution will be less tan 1/10th of 1% of
the total for the City of Lodi. This level is not
considered significant.
E. Environmental Impact V
Impact: Residential units adjacent to Lower Sacramento
Road and the streets servicing the commercial uses, will be
subject to noise levels exceeding recommended levels.
Finding: To help mitigate excessive noise levels, the
residential units can be designed with noise reduction
features built into the units.
F. Environmental Impact VI
Impact: The development of the Taves parcel will
generate 74 additional school -aged children. This will
affect the Lodi Unified School District's ability to
provide adequate classroom space.
Finding: The City of Lodi has adopted a School Impaction
Fee which is paid to the school district. The fee is
considered adequate mitigation for the impact of additional
students on schools.
G. Environmental Impact VII
Impact: The 88 residential units would add 89 tons of
solid waste per year. The current disposal site is
reaching its upper limits and adding more solid waste could
be a problem.
41
Continued September 18, 1985
Finding: The disposal of solid waste will not be a
problem if a new site is found before the current site has
reached its limit. Measures are being taken to extend the
life span of the current disposal site an additional 4-5
years.
H. Alternatives to the project: The EIR discussed several
alternatives to the proposed project. The following are
findings on three of the alternatives:
Alternative A. This alternative is a "no project"
alternative, which would mean that no development would be
constructed on the property.
Finding: This alternative would eliminate the
environmental impacts resulting frau the proposed project.
This alternative could affect the future supply of Musing
in Lodi due to the relatively small amount of residential
zoned land left for development in the City limits.
Alternative B. This alternative is a redesigned project
reducing the number of residential units, and modifying the
ccnmrcial size and configuration of the ccnrercial parcels
and changing the type of conmercial zoning fran C-2 to C -S.
Finding: This alternative allows for a more cohesive
street layout and separates the ccmnarcial and residential
uses. The number of residences is reduced from 88 to 76,
which helps mitigate the traffic impacts and as well as
impacts on the Lodi Unified School District. Alternative B
changes the C-2 zone (General Commercial) to C -S
(Commercial -Shopping) and facilitates the separation of the
commercial uses from the residential uses by changing the
street layout and project design. This also helps mitigate
the traffic impacts of the developer's proposal.
Alternative C: This alternative would change the
commercial uses and professional uses to multi -family
residential uses. The R-2 zone would remain the same.
Finding: The proposed R -C -P zone would allow 26 units
(2.6 acres at 10 units per acre) as residential garden
apartments (R -GA), and the proposed ccmercial zone would
allow as many as 580 units (7.25 acres at 80 units per
acre) as Residential High Density. Canpared to the
developer's proposal, daily vehicle trips would be reduced
by 2,880 and school -aged children would be increased by
289. A sound barrier would be needed along Lower
Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane to insulate the
residences from excessive noise levels. Water consumption
would be higher due to this alternative (84 acre feet per
year) than the present use of a vineyard (56.6 acre feet
per year). However, this difference is not considered
significant. This alternative's 666 residential units
would generate as much as 675 tons of solid waste per year,
a significant increase when compared to 89 tons per year
the developer's proposal would generate.
Growth -inducing Impact: The project will not have a
significant grawth-inducing impact on the City of Lodi.
Finding: The passage of Measure A, the "Greenbelt
Initiative", has placed a significant future growth limit
on the City. All new General Plan amendments that require
an annexation must receive voter approval.

INTRODUCED
jrCL
Notices of Public Hearing having been published in accordance
law
with and affidavits of publications being on file in the
Office of the City Clerk, Mayor Hinchman called for the Public
Hearings to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation
that the City Council certify as adequate, the Final
Environmental pact Report for Maggio Industrial Park, a
proposed 37.6 acre industrial project at the northv&st corner of
South Stockton Street and Harney Lane and consideration of the
Planning Commission's recommendation that Maggio Industrial
Park, a proposed 37.6 acre industrial project at the northwest
corner of South Stockton Street and Harney Lane, be prezoned

The matter was introduced by C umuuty Development Director
Schroeder who presented diagrams of the subject area and
responded to questions regarding the matter as were posed by the
Council.
Erin Corey, City of Lodi Junior Planner, presented the Final
Environmental Impact Report for Maggio Industrial Park and

There being no other persons wishing to speak on the matter, the
public portion of the hearing was closed.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Reid, Olson second, Council
certified as adequate the Final Environmental Report for
Maggio Industrial Park and established the following findings
by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Olson, Pinkerton, Reid, Snider
and Hinchman (Mayor)
Noes: Council Members - None
Absent: Council Members - None
Abstain: Council Members - None
A. Environmental Impact I
Impact: The project will result in the loss of 37.6
acres of prime agricultural soil. If the project
is approved, this loss cannot be mitigated.
Finding: All of the land in and around the City of Lodi
is designated as prime agricultural soil.
The City does not have the option of building on
"non -prime" agricultural lands in order to preserve the
prime soils. Every developsrnt built in the City, srmll or
large, utilizes prime agricultural soil. The residential,
commercial, recreational and industrial needs of the City
require the urbanization of agricultural lands.
The City of Lodi has planned and constructed its utility
system to serve the area with water, sewer, and sto m
drainage in anticipation of the area developing. The
existing infrastructure can be easily extended to allow
development of the area without costly expenditures of
public funds for major new lines.
Overriding Considerations: Before the adoption of the
"Greenbelt Initiative", in August, 1981 the parcel in
question had been designated as "Unclassified -Holding" by
the City of Lodi General Plan. The surrounding area to the
north and west have been undergoing urbanization for the
past several years. Residential, park (public) and
industrial development exists adjacent to the parcel and
the proposed development is contiguous to existing
developed areas and will be a logical extension of the
urbanized area.
In the City of Lodi, there is a limited amount of vacant
land available with rail access. Rail access is especiklly
beneficial to industrial users, due to the readily
available means to transport and receive goods.
M
Continued September 18, 1985
B. ENVIRGIMTTAL IMPACT II
Imo: Traffic will increase on Stockton Street and
Harney Lane as a result of the project. The project will
generate 1970-2253 vehicle trips per day when fully
developed.
Finding: Stockton Street and Harney Lane will be widened
to handle additional traffic. The project egress on Harney
Lane will be eliminated to help traffic flow.
C Environmental Impact III
Impact: Noise levels will increase above recommended
levels for the adjacent residential parcels.
Finding: Currently, about 16 trains pass through the
area per day. Each time a train passes noise levels exceed
70 dBa. A spur line would catgxund noise levels by the
coupling, uncoupling, loading and unloading of cars. Noise
frau industrial operations can be mitigated by
"sound -proofing" the buildings. Noise levels produced from
the trains loading and unloading would be difficult to
mitigate unless a sound -proof wall or barrier is erected
between the railroad tracks and the residences. A noise
analysis should be required of any use that would exceed
recommended CNEL's.
D. Environmental Impact IV
imact. The project will produce additional vehicle
generated air pollution.
Finding: Based on air quality projections, the amount of
additional air pollution will be less than 1/10th of 18 of
the total for the City of Lodi. This level is not
considered significant.
E. Environmental Impact V
Inpact: LUSD could be affected by the project indirectly
by the creating of new jobs and new households. Providing
the adequate classroom space could be a problem.
Finding: The City of Lodi has adopted a School Impaction
Fee which is paid to the school district by developers of
new subdivisions. The fee is considered adequate
mitigation for the impact of additional students on schools.
F. Environmental Bract VI
Inpact: The amount of solid waste generated by the
project could be a problem, although the amount is
difficult to estimate. The current disposal site is
reaching it's upper limits and a new site is under
negotiation.
Findings: The disposal of solid waste will not be a
problem if a new site is found before the current site has
reached its limit. Temporary measures are being taken to
increase the life span of the current disposal site.
G. Alternatives to the project: The EIR discussed several
alternatives to the proposed project. The following are
findings on three of the alternatives:
45
Continued September 18, 1985
Alternative A. This alternative is a "no project"
alternative, which would mean that no development would be
constructed on the property.
Finding: While the alternative would eliminate the
environmental impacts it would have an adverse affect on the
amount of available land with rail access. Currently there are
no vacant parcels within the City limits that are larger than 10
acres and have rail access.
Alternate C: This alternative would remove the spurline from
the project, thus eliminating noise resulting £ran coupling,
uncoupling, loading and unloading of trains.
Finding: This alternative Vould also have an adverse affect
on the amount of available land with rail access. Parcels in
the City Limits with rail access are scarce.
Alternative D: The alternative would change the proposed
industrial use to an all residential use.
Finding: Although this alternative would eliminate excess
noise that an industrial use might generate, it would not
eliminate the current use of the railroad tracks and therefore
would be subject to those noise levels. Sound barriers could
help mitigate this problem, as well as assigning the residential
units with noise reducing features.
Law -density residential zoning could have as many as 376 units
on the parcel, adversely affecting the LUSD (752 new students),
the traffic (2,632-3,384 vehicle trips per day) and water
consumption. A vineyard uses about 82.7 acre-feet of water per
year and multi -family housing (worst-case scenario) uses about
902.4 acre feet per year.
Alternative_ E: This would designate the subject parcel as a
planned development (P -D) and allow the industrial uses.
Finding: A P -D zone is allowed more design and land use
flexibility than other zones, but requires appproval of a
precise development plan by the City Planning Commission. This
alternative would allow only those uses which meet specified
noise and pollution standards, as described by the Planning
Commission, as well as ensure appropriate design measures are
taken to help alleviate noise and traffic problems.
This alternative would discourage the economic development of
Lodi as it is possible not all industrial uses would be
allowed. The developer may have trouble attracting tenants if a
tenant had to meet specific standards over and beyond those in
the zoning code or State and Federal statutes.
Growth Inducing Impact: The project will not have a
significant growth -inducing impact.
Finding: The passage of Measure A, has placed a significant
future growth limit on the City of Lodi. All new General Plan
amendments that require annexation must receive voter approval.
Council Member Pinkerton then moved for adoption of Ordinance
No. 1362 prezoning to M-2, Heavy Industrial, Maggio Industrial
Park, a proposed 37.6 acre industrial project at the northwest
corner of South Stockton Street and Harney Lane. The motion
