Home My WebLink AboutMinutes - December 5, 2000 SSCITY OF LODI INFORMAL INFORMATIONAL MEETING "SHIRTSLEEVE" SESSION CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE STREET TUESDAY, DECEMBERS, 2000 An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held Tuesday, December 5, 2000 commencing at 7:05 a.m. A. ROLL CALL Present: Council Members — Hitchcock (arrived at 7:06 a.m.), Land, Nakanishi, and Pennino Absent: Council Members — Mayor Mann Also Present: City Manager Flynn, City Attorney Hays and City Clerk Blackston B. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR UPDATE City Clerk Blackston reviewed the weekly calendar (filed). C. TOPIC(S): C-1 "Westside Facility Master Plan" Community Development Director Bartlam described the Lodi Westside Master Plan with the aid of four maps (filed): 1) Facility and Circulation Concept; 2) Green Belt; 3) Street Sections (Roads A, B, and C); and, 4) Street Sections (Lodi Avenue). He reported that the entire plan totals 375 acres. If single-family density were used, it would accommodate 1,300 units. He projected that further growth to the south would not need to occur before 2020. Last spring, City staff of various departments met to discuss the potential issues related to continued development of property west of Lower Sacramento Road. Since initiating the planning program, staff has conducted two public meetings at Temple Baptist Church, one with the Parks and Recreation Commission, and one with the Planning Commission. The Westside Facility Master Plan area is located along the western fringe of the City's General Plan boundary. A commercial development has been proposed and a new church site has been approved. Proposals for new residential development are also being discussed. Mr. Bartlam proposed a landscaped parkway at least 50 feet wide for the entryway into Lodi. Council Member Pennino suggested a decorative sign or monument welcoming visitors. Mr. Bartlam described a 100-150 foot wide roundabout to guide traffic on Lodi Avenue, which would allow free access to any direction and would define the western entry into the City. This type of design also provides the benefit of slowing traffic. Public Works Director Prima explained that the roundabout is only in the concept phase at this point and would not be designed until one of the four corners is annexed. Mr. Bartlam reported that the current map calls for a 30 -acre linear stormwater green belt / detention basin. The basin could be manicured for fields of play when dry, remain as marshland, or be a combination of both. As a linear park it would provide a trail network with bike and pedestrian paths, linkage off the street, and would be a focal point in and out of neighborhoods. The basin could be extended from Highway 12 up to Turner Road and run along the whole western half of the City. It could be phased in as development occurs. Continued December S, 2000 In response to Council Member Land, Mr. Bartlam reported that a pedestrian bridge is planned in the north area over the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) canal. Discussion ensued regarding the need for more medium or high density housing, and specifically, that of quality apartments. D. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC None. E.

Historically, the provision of services has been done on a reactive basis when a project proponent makes application. Generally, the infrastructure design and location are shown in one or a number of larger master plans, but exact location is left to sort out when they are actually needed. Examples of this planning includes the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Storm Drainage Master Plan and Circulation Element of the General Plan. Program Discussion This past spring, City staff of various departments met to discuss the potential issues related to continued development of property west of Lower Sacramento Road. To date, the City has allowed projects to proceed that front onto Lower Sacramento Road and that could provide on-site storm drainage. However, two projects (St. John's Episcopal Church and the proposed shopping center on the Geweke property) were pressing the need for some definition of the collector street proposed in a north -south direction. The Westside Facility Master Plan Area is located along the western fringe of the City's General Plan boundary. The plan area is envisioned as the City's next major growth area, offering new housing and commercial development opportunities. The Westside Facility Master Plan sets forth the vision for public facilities to support existing and planned housing and commercial development within the plan area. This Master Plan responds to the City of Lodi General Plan land use patterns, circulation, and public services and utilities envisioned for the plan area to ensure the plan area's vitality. The Westside Facility Master Plan is intended to identify and plan for neighborhood and community parks, circulation and storm drainage improvements necessary to support 375 acres of existing and planned growth. The plan serves as the basis for formulating and implementing capital improvement plans for public facilities within the plan area to meet the needs of growth projected by the City's General Plan. The plan considered both existing and projected growth in the plan area, as well as outside the plan area. City Council November 29, 2000 Page 2 In addition, public educational needs for the plan area have been included in this Master Plan. The vitality of neighborhoods includes recognizing the importance of providing schools to accommodate projected student enrollment anticipated by planned growth. Student enrollment projection and school site needs were derived from the City of Lodi General Plan and the Lodi Unified School District. Growth is starting to take place in the Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan Area. A commercial development has been proposed and a new church site has been approved. Proposals for new residential development are also being discussed. The development of major facilities such as circulation, parks and open space, schools, water and drainage will be required for growth of the plan area. Since initiating this planning program, we have conducted two public meetings at Temple Baptist Church, one at the Parks and Recreation Commission, and one at the Planning Commission. Those meetings began with a mailing list of all property owners within the study area as well as those that have property adjacent. Since then, the mailing list has grown to include those individuals and groups that have expressed some interest in the program.
