C. TOPIC(S)
Discussion of the City's Housing Allocation Program
With the aid of overheads (filed) Community Development Director Bartlam reported on the
background of the Growth Management Program. The program began in 1991, although
allocations were retroactive back to 1989. It is based on a maximum 2% population growth per
year. Each year state demographers and the Department of Finance determines a population
figure from information they receive regarding the number of building permits issued, the number
of units demolished, and attendance reports from Lodi Unified School District and local private
schools. Lodi's population for the year 2000 is 57,935, with a person -per -household figure of
2.709. Mr. Bartlam stated that realistically the population could be 5% higher due to overcrowding
in illegal units.
Mr. Bartlam explained that the program divides housing units into three density categories: low,
medium, and high. Single-family and low-density are considered the same both in terms of
general plan and product type. The theory behind the designation of 65% single-family, 10%
medium -density, and 25% high-density was to mirror the program to the way Lodi had been
developed. Consequently, there is a preponderance of single-family units that are eligible to be
allocated on a given year. Mr. Bartlam reported that Lodi has the smallest household size in the
county, of all the cities in the unincorporated area. He attributed this to an older population.
In 1991, the majority of land was designated for residential development. Mr. Bartlam stated that
the number of units in the program (1,000) could be doubled before it would be necessary to
annex any more land. He estimated that if the rate of growth continues as it has historically, this
amounts to between 5 and 10 years.
Since 1989 there have been 2,350 single-family allocations. In 1999 only 17 new units were
allocated, and just two units were allocated in 1998. Mr. Bartlam reported that this year two
projects have been submitted for a total of 103 units. Up until 1997 all of the allocations that have
been requested were given. Currently, there is an excess allocation in all three categories. There
are 447 units available in medium -density residential and 1,119 in high-density. Mr. Bartlam noted
that there has not been a multi -family unit built in Lodi since 1989. There is a strong market and
high demand for quality apartments, but no interest from developers in doing such a project.
Mr. Bartlam warned that this should give cause for concern, as well as for the possibility of not
meeting our regional fair share of housing. The state requires cities to have a broad mix of
housing types and affordability. Lodi is required to have an updated housing element by 2003.
Continued August 29, 2000
In regard to removing excess allocations, Mr. Bartlam stated that removing half of the high-density
allocations would be appropriate as long as a balance remains of 200-300 units. He
recommended not removing any medium -density allocations as it could be perceived as sending a
bad signal to the market.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Nakanishi, Mr. Bartlam reported that although the State
Department of Housing and Community Development has the ability to sanction cities, the real
concern would be having a public interest law firm, that advocates affordable housing, file a suit
against the city.
Mr. Bartlam stated that there are currently 1,198 allocated unbuilt single-family houses in Lodi.
Approximately half of all projects allocated have not been built. In 1999, Lodi grew by only 1.3%.
There will be 740 single-family units left over after the 103 units are allocated this year.
In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Bartlam stated that development of medium- to high-
density units can be encouraged by predesignating land.
Mr. Bartlam recommended modifying the Growth Management Program to 70% single-family. He
also recommended reversing the percentages for medium- and high-density to: 25% medium -
density and 10% high-density. In summary, Mr. Bartlam stated that the Growth Management
Program has not had an affect on growth in the City; the market has paced growth.
