It has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seg.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Administrative Code Section 1.5000 et se .)e The purposes of the EIR are toe o provide a mechanism for disclosing potential environmental impacts of the Proposed CSP, o increase citizens' :awareness of and foster participation in the planning process for the Proposed CII', and Q alert City of Dodi (City) decision makers (members of the planning omm cssion and city council) to the effects of the plan and suggest measur�s to mit i ate impacts, The proposed CSP is considered a "project." as defined by CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15378). An initial study was not prepared for this project since the city's commu iity development director determined at the outset that the project could have potentially si rzificant adverse environmental impacts. A Notice of Preparation (NOP) was issued on November 30, 1959. The NCP and comments received on the NOP are contained in Appendix iii. As provided for in the State. C C A Guidelines, the focus of the draft EIS is limited to specific issues and concerns identified as possibly significant by the scoping and notice of preparation processes. The draft EIR also assesses the likely environmental consem 1-1 quences of buildout of the Proposed GP. The EIR assesses the potential effects that the project may have on the environment, lists ways to minimize significant adverse effects, and evaluates alternatives to the proposed project. The EIR consists of two documents: the City of Lodi General Flan Update Background Report (Jones.& Stokes Associates 198a), as updated in early 1990 (referred to as the proposed GP Background Report in this document) and this report. For each impact topic, the Proposed GP Background Report contains detailed descriptions of the environmental setting. This report contains a summary of the environmental setting and detailed descriptions of impacts and mitigation measures. This report is organized so that the following section of the EIR (Chapter ) describes the Proposed CP and project alternatives. Chapter 3 summarizes the impacts and. mitigation measures and discusses impact conclusions required by CEQA. Each of the following chapters (Chapters 4-18) is devoted to a single impact topic (the background report contains identical topical chapters). `within each section, a summary of relevant environmental setting data is presented, the impacts associated with each alternative are evaluated, and mitigation measures are identified, Chapter 19 contains the bibliography, and Chapter 20 lists these persons who prepared this report. Technical appendices appear at the end of the report. 1®2 0 11 The proposed project (referred to in this report as the Proposed CSP), as required by CEQA, entails adoption cif the City of Lodi Draft GP Polity Document, dated December 1989. This documcnt is hereby incorporated by reference. The following discussion is a brief summary of the Proposed GP. Prier to the 1980s, the City managed the location of urban growth through allocation of storm drainage capacity. The capacity of the drainage system served as a limitation on the number of housing units and other urban uses Haat could be developed. Measure A, approved by the voters of Lodi and adopted by ordinance in 1981, mended the Und Use Element to the City's GP by removing from the CSP any laud that was not within the corporate city limits. The intent of Measure A was to preserve and protect agricultural land and to maintain the small city character of Lodi within a designated greenbelt. Measure A restricted land within the greenbelt from being. annexed to the City without aro amendment to the City's CLP and approval by the majority of the people voting it a citywide election. In November 1985, a group of citizens challenged Measure A in court. The courts held that Measure A interfered with state annexation laws. The City appealed this decision. In April 1986, a Mayor's Task Pearce was convened to address the issue of how to control growth in Lodi. In evaluating this issue, the task farce recommended that a comprehensive general plaza update be adopted. The task farce also recommended that a growth management prograrn be adapted that included the following: 0 a policy calling fora 2.0 -percent limit on growth to be implemented through a residential development allocation system, 0 application of the growth management program to all residential developments of five tants or greater, with the exception of senior citizen housings and o institution of a point evaluation and scaring system by which each project application for a new housing project would be given a paint rating based on specified criteria.. In September 1989, the appellate court upheld the trial court's decision that parts of Measure A were unconstitutional and invalid. 2.1 J n `fie regional location of the City of Lodi is shown in Figure 2-1. Lodi i located approximately 34 miles south of Sacramento, 1 miles north of Stockton, and 90 miles Last f San Francisco. State Route (SIS) 99 runs north -south through the eastern portion of the City, and Interstate 5 (I-5) runs nortb-south approximately 7 miles to the west. The Proposed GP area is presented on the CSP Land Use Diagram inserted into this report. The area covered by the Proposed GP comprises 6,795 acres, of which approximately 75 percent is currently under City jurisdiction and 25 percent is under San Joaquin County jurisdiction. [7 The baseline of the Proposed GP is April 1987. At that time, the City of Lodi Community Development Department conducted a detailed inventory of existing laud uses. This inventory serves as the basis for characterizing existing conditions in Lodi. The Proposed GP covers a 20 -year planning horizon from Aril 1987 to 2007, The Proposed GP also reflects the City's intention for the direction of growth beyond the 20 - year time frame. 'Mise lands that are expected to develop beyond 2007 have been given a reserve designation. The area designated as reserve covers an additional 2,059 acres. To adequately plan for new roadway, utility, and public facility construction, the Proposed GP assumes the eventual development of these areas. California's State Planning Law, Government Code Section 65300, requires each city and county in California to prepare and adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the city and any land outside its boundaries which, in the planning agencyps judgment, bears a relationship to its playing. The GP Policy Document is a comprehensive update of di's current GP, providing policy direction for future growth and development in the City of Lodi. Lo is current GP comprises the 2954 end Use Element, as amended by identification of an Urban. Growth Boundary in 2973 and the withdrawal of this lard .from the GP by Measure A in 19819 the 1973 Open Space Element; the 1980 Safety/Seismic Safety Element; and the 1984 Housing Element. The major components of the CSP Policy Document analyzed in this EIR are the GP Land Use Diagram and the Future Circulation Network Diagrams, the goals, policies, and implementation programs of the seven elements; and the buildout acreage, dwelling unit, and population figures. 2-2 FIGURE 2-1. REGIONAL SETTING m The backbone of the GP PolicyDocument is the Lana Use Diagram, which illustrates the proposed land uses. Figures 2-2 and 2-3 present the new development potential under the Proposed GP by 2007 and beyond 2007, respectively.

The Future Circulation Network Diagrams depict the classification of existing and proposed streets in Lodi. Figure 2-4 presents the circulation network required by 2007 and Figure 2-5 presents the network required beyond 2007. 2-5 L' The GP Policy Document contains eight elements: .: Use and Growth Management; — a Housing; 41 Circulation; Parks,0 Noise; I Conservation-, Open Space; s Health and Safety; an. 0 Urban Design and Cultural Resources. Each element contains an introduction that summarizes.. the issues that need to be addressed in planning for future growth in Lodi, a: series of ofs that serve to direct growth and development a series. of policies that support each identified goal, and one or more implementation programs that carry out the identified policies. For each implementation program the parties. responsible for implementing ting the program and the time frame for implementation are identified. The implementation programs identified in each element are listed below to highlight the major features of the elements (the ETlt .ruder should refer to the fill GP Policy Document for a complete listing of goals and policies): 1. The City shall request the San Joaquin County Local .Agency Formation Co °ssion ( C ) to adopt a sphere of influence for Lodi based on the long -terms growth plans of the City as reflected in the GP goals and policies and proposed land uses. . The City shall review and revise, as necessary, the ening Ordinance to ensure consistency with the GP in terms of zoning districts and development standards affecting the distribution and boundaries of zoning districts. 3.

(Corrections have been made to the version of this table that appears in the Proposed GP Policy oc ument; these revisions affect only estimates of existing conditions and, therefore, do not affect the analyses contained in that document.) Several assumptions were made in developing these estimates: o The area designated with urbanized land use designations on the GP Land Use Diagram will: be under City jurisdiction by 2007. The unincorporated ccarnmunl y of Woodbridge will not be annexed to the City within the time frame of the CTS. (Designations consistent with those of San Joaquin County are shown on the CSF' Land Use Diagram.) o AN parcels of more than 2 acres in size that were classified as vacant or agricultural in the 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory are available for development. o Committed, undeveloped lands are those that were vacant in April 1987, but had a tentative parcel or subdivision map approved for them. 'These committed, undeveloped lands are included in the calculations of new development based on the approved use and number of snits. o The planned residential designation includes acreage for nondrainage basin parrs (ie. other neighborhood and community parks) and nonschool public/quasi-public uses (e.g churches, small utility facilities, libraries, police stations, and fire stations) required to serve these residential uses. o The planned residential reserve designation includes acreage for commercial, nondrainage basin parks, and nonschool public/quasi-public uses required to serve these residential uses. o Acreage required for future detention basins is included in the detention basins and parks designations based can 8 acres of detention basins (surface area) per 100 acres of urban development. It is assumed that these detention basins will also be developed for park purposes. o acreage for future school sites is included in the public/quasi-public designation based can standards from the LUSD. This designation also includes 34 acres of nonschool uses. Table 2-1 indicates that the majority of new development to 2007 is expected to be residential. The urbanized area encompassing Llai is expected to grow by 45 percent by 2007. Of the acreage to be urbanized by 2007, 68 percent is expected to be residential, 5 percent commercial, 1 percent office, 17 percent industrial, S percent public/quasi-public, 2-13 and 5 percent detention basin and parks. Beyond 2007, the urbanized area is expected to grow by an additional 30 percent. Dwelling Units 'Fable 2-2 presents the number of dwelling units expected to be developed within the time frame of the GP and beyond. (Minor corrections have been made to the estimates of existing dwelling units that appear in the Proposed GP Policy Document.) The housing density assumptions are presented in this table. These numbers reflect an annual compounded growth rate in dwelling units of 2.28 percent. This 2.28 -percent rate compares with the 2.0 -percent rate recommended by the Mayor's Task Farce. Lo, . 'Fable 23 presents the population projected to occur within the time frame . of the CSP and beyond. (Minor corrections have been made to the estimates of existing population that appear in the Proposed GP Policy Document.) The household size and vacancy rate assumptions are presented in this table. These numbers reflect an annual compounded growth rate in papulation of 2.28 percent. Adoption of the Proposed GP would require recommendation of the Lodi Plarming Cominission and approval of the Lodi City Council: Implementation of specific development proposals within the OP area would require separate consideration by the Lodi Planning Commission and City Council. 1 F 0 will consider a new sphere of influence (SOI) for Lodi based on the adopted general plan. for Lodi. All: proposed annexations must be approved by LOCO consistent with the adopted SOL Ire addition to the Proposed. GP, three alternative scenarios have been evaluated: the Measure P, the existing GP (No -Project Alternative), and a scenario providing for more growth than allowed for by the Proposed GP (Higher Growth Alternative). The GP Options Assessment Report analyzed the GP as modified by Measure A (Ordinance No. 1237), which was called Option 1 in this report. This ordinance amended the Land Use Element of the Lodi CSP by removing from the element any area not within Im •aa!aalawas d{!xnwpd (4i -easn a!lgnd-jwnbjoeiggd joogas-uou pux 'sx)ud u!seq aeu!uajruoes lurnssnrwoa a)ssn3 xqj aRvwos sapnpul (E) aa4n aslgnd-lswibfal{gnii {oagas-vou pus -4-1 ujasq oV.,q )p-uoa srsknd xad paxcnbax Awxay. sapnpul (ZS sRpugpooM sapopxA (1) 0661 6601 160'4 WS VIA Liz 99£ 066'0 669'£ 1613'5 "iV.LC3.L CTNV3i� MORA 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 £95 €93 ZS£ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MR ii4'E 10Z n)nllnar)HV 164 59Z 9Z£ SZZ 5ZZ 0 0 99£ 04 9Z£ (anxasa}( saP"iou!j nixed Pus s!nxeg WIWPO L5 45 0 0 0 0 0 Li 44 0 {q} a!lgetd..!sanjjpslgnd 9u!p!Y3 L£O'€ RI MR LN 641 OL 9£ 0£S OE MR (nn=v sapnln:nj ailgnd-ssssljli and £9£'I 9£5 02 6LL 905 051 1Z1 485 M 155 (oniasaH sapnlosrrj €apmpui 56 0 96 O£ 0 £ LZ 59 0 S9 QW0 594 06 SL£ MI 8L S( b Of ZI of 'IV.L011ii1S 0 ZZ O ZZ £ 0 Z 1 61 0 6l ua�alemn a 60Z Z!

This alternative has a similar distribution of land uses as the Proposed GP with the No -Project Alternative covering 5 percent less area. As compared to the Proposed GP, the 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory indicates that this alternative proposes 5 percent less land in residential 10 percent less in commercial, the same amount of land in office, 4 percent less in public/quasi-public, and 21 percent less land in detention basins and parks. The land designated as unclassified industrial on the existing GP map is expected to develop beyond a 20 -year time frame. Since the alternatives' analyses are extending to 2007, development of this land will not be analyzed under the No -Project Alternative. The City's existing GP consists of the following elements: 0 The 1954 Land Use Element: Because local conditions have changed substantially since this document was prepared, the City has used the land use map in practice as the definitive guide for land use, without focusing on the actual policies contained in the land use element. 0 The 1973 Open Space -Conservation Element: This element is general, relying on information collected for regional studies prepared by the San Joaquin County Council of Governments (SJCCOG) and the San Joaquin County Department of Planning and Building Inspection. As a result, the goals and policies presented in the element are broad and are not supported by implementation measures, 0 The 1980 Safety/Seismic Safety Element: This element covers flood, geologic, fire, crime, and other hazards, and emergency preparedness. 0 The 1984 Housing Element: Although this element was not certified by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the City has treated it as the official statement of policy regarding housing in Lodi. This alternative would result in 12 percent fewer dwelling units and 11 percent fewer people by 2007. The assumptions used for residential densities, household size, and vacancy factor are identical to those used for the Proposed GP. Higher Growth Alternative Figure 2-7 illustrates the new development potential under the Higher Growth Alternative. Ibis alternative is based on Scenario 2 as described in the Proposed GP .and Absorption Study (Jones & Stokes Associates 1988). This scenario represented an average annual population growth rate of 3.5 percent, which was Lodi's growth rate between 1970 1 2-21 H", and 1987. Growth forecast under this scenario was limited only bYpredicted market conditions and cornpetitie factors. an The land use designations trader this alternative are identical to the Proposed GP. However, unlike the Proposed GP, this alternative proposes development of>approximately 820 acres of planned residential and neigbborhood f community commercial between Harney Lane and Armstrong Road by 2007A No additional areas for development have been designated beyond 2407. As compared to the Proposed CSP, this alternative proposes 48 percent more land in planned residential, 49 percent more in neighborbood/cora munity commercial, 1213 percent more in general commercial, 103 percent more in office, 5 percent more In light industrial, and 35 percent less in heavy industrial development. This alternative would result in 15 percent more dwelling units and 14 percent more people by 2007. The assumptions used for residential densities, household size, and vacancy factor are identical to these used for the Proposed P. WN FIGURE 2-7, NEW DEVELOPMENT POTE (HIGHER GROWTH ALTS ;.

This cheater also briefly describes requirements for mitigation monitoring. PROJECT DESCRIPTION This EIR analyzes the proposed prcaject, as required by CEQA, and two project alternatives. A third project alternative which was analyzed prior to preparation of this EIR is briefly described and evaluated in Chapter 2, "Project Description." The proposed project (referred to in this report as the Proposed GP) involves adoption of the City of Lodz Draft GP'Policy Document (referred to in this report as the Proposed GP.Policy Document),. dated December 1989. This document contains eight elements: Land Use and Growth Management; Housing; Circulation, raise, Conservation; Partes, Recreation, and Open Space, Health and Safety; and Urban Design and Cultural resources. The major components of the Proposed GP Policy Document which are analyzed in this report are the proposed GP %.rad Use Diagram and Future Circulation Network Diagams; the goats, policies, and implementation programs of the seven elements; and the buildout acreage, dwelling, and papulation figures, e Proposed GP covers a 20 -year planning horizon from. April 1987 to 2007° "floe Proposed CP also reflects the City's intention to direct growth beyond the 20 -year time frame. "Mase lands that are expected to develop beyond the 20 -year time frame have been designated with a reserve designation. For the purposes of adequately planning new roadway construction, the Proposed CP assumes the eventual development of these areas. The proposed project analysis is covered in two sections for each impact topic: Proposed CSP (2007) and Proposed GP (beyond 2007). 3-1 The altcrnatives to thea Proposed P entail a map of proposed land uses and buildout.calcttlat ons for acreage, dwelling units, and population to 2007. The No -Project Alternative also includes the City's current policies® The alternatives analyses, contained in each topical chapter, present a comparison of each alternative against the proposed GP (2007). `These analyses are less detailed than the ones conducted for the Proposed GP. This alternative comprises the City's existing EBF. Although the land use designations are slightly more generalized than the Proposed GP, the No -Project Alternativehas a distributionof land uses similar to that of the proposed GP, with the No -Project Alternative covering 5 percent Tess area,. This alternative contains the same land use designations as the Proposed GP. The major difference is that this alltemat ve proposes development of approximately 820 acres of glazed residential and neighborhood/community commercial land between Harney Lane and Amistrong road. This alternative was based on an annual population growth rate of 3.5 percent, which was Lodi's growth rate between 1970 and 1987. Growthunder this alternative was limited only by predicted market conditions and competitive factors. This EIR identifies the following levels of impacts: 0 a "less -than -significant" impact is considered to cause no substantial adverse chane in the environment; is a "significant adverse" impact is considered to have a substantial adverse effect on the environment; and 0 an "unavoidable" impact is one that is considered to have a significant adverse effect on the environment and cannot be avoided if the project is implemented, even with mitigation. ON C1 0�-j 9 0 a "beneficial" impact is one that would have a positive effect on the environment. In judging the level of impact for the Proposed GP. (2007 and beyond 2007), the impact under Proposed GP buildout (2007.or beyond 2007, respectively) was compared to existing conditions. Existing conditions are defined as having occurred in April 1987, the time that a detailed inventory of existing land arses was conducted by the Lodi Community Development Department. Existing conditions were described in detail in the City of Lodi General Plan Update Background Report (Jones & Stakes Associates 19$8a); this report was updated in early 1990 to reflect minor corrections to the 1987 Existing end Use Inventory and is referred to as the Proposed GP Background Report in this document. The Proposed GP Background Report, as updated, is hereby incorporated by reference. The "Setting" sections of this document summarize the existing conditions information from the Proposed CSP Background Report that is most pertinent to the impact analyses. In addition to being compared against existing conditions, the Proposed GP (beyond 2007) is also compared to the Proposed GP (2000. Summary `fable The summary table (Table 3-1) presents a summary of the environmental impacts of the proposed project, including identification of the policies and Implementation programs'from.tbe Proposed CSP 'olicy Document that address the impacts. The policies and implementation programs are identified by number only, so the reader must refer to the respective topical chapters for a full description of thein. The summary table also presents the level of impact prier to and after implementation of the recommended mitigation measures. The City of Lodi will determine which mitigation measures would be implemented if the Proposed GP is approved. Since the policies and implementation programs contained in the Proposed GP Policy Document are a part of the proposed project, the recommended mitigation measures are those that are needed above and beyond the policies and implementation programs of the Proposed GP Policy Document. For some significant adverse impacts, partial mitigation is identified that would reduce impacts but not to less than significant. For some less-thanmsignifacant impacts, mitigation is identified that could be implemented, but is not required. In some cases, the "Mitigation Measures" column also provides specific guidance on how the Proposed GP policies and implementation programs should be implemented. The impacts are listed in the summary table in the same order in which they appear in the EIR. For a detailed discussion of impacts, the reader should refer to the detailed discussions of each impact in the appropriate chapter. 3-3 M Impact of Development Impact Topic 2007 Beyond 2M Proposed Policies and Implementation Programs that Address Impact Sipirwance Before Mitigation Significance Mitigation After Measures Mitigation Land Use Dired Land Use Conversion of approximately 1,550 acres Conversion of approximately 3,6W acres Land Use and Growth S None are available U Changes of. prime agricultural lands, of which 500 of prime agricultural. lands, of which 700 Management Element: acres are Williamson Act Land, to urban acres are Williamson Act LaO, to urban 'flue foil -owing measure is uses uses Policies B-1, 13-2, B-3, B4, available for partial B-5, B-6, C -k and G-5 mitigation.-.

The City is cumntly preparing a fiscal impact analysis of the Proposed GPi This report will be availairie for review at city offices. The Ptoposed GIS Land Absoipiim Study analym the market factors affecting the feature 20 -year dernand for residential, commercial, and industrial land in Lath. This EIR is programmatic in scope and, by its nature; evaluates the cumulative impacts of the City and surrounding unincorporated area (OP area). Cumulativeimpacts beyond the CSP area have also been analyzed for land use, transportation and circulation, air quality, and noise. These analyses are contained in the appropriate topical chapter. Table -1 indicates those impacts that are unavoidable unless additional development is prohibited. The designation of currently undeveloped land for urban development, by definition, promotes urban growth. The identification of public service and facilities extensions and expansions is also growth -inducing by definition. The designation of reserve lands and the planning of public service infrastructure for these lands is inducing growth beyond the 20 - year general plan time frame. The Proposed GP could, therefore, be interpreted as growth - inducing. Gine right question whether the Proposed GP is actually inducing growth or simply accommodating it. Because the Proposed Off* includes growth control measures that restrict growth to 2.0 percent annually, the amount of band made available for development will probably fill short of satisfying potential market demand. The Proposed GP could, therefore, be characterized as accommodating growth rather than inducing it. General plants may also be considered growth -inducing by virtue of their designation of land uses that would generate substantial expansion of employment in basic industries, and thus increase pressure for residential development. The Proposed GAP is explicit in its assumption that the demand for residential development will exceed demand for employment -generating uses. The distribution of the land use designations shown on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram, therefore, could not be considered growth -inducing from the standpoint of fostering demand for the construction of additional housing. Policy ®2 of the Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element recommends consideration of a continuous greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City. If such a measure were to be implemented, the City would be clearly advocating a policy direction in which growth beyond the GP area is to be avoided. ON J 0 Short -Term Uses of the Environment VersusLong-Term Productivity Implementing the proposed project would. result in the cumulative loss of prune agricultural lands. Potential wmulative traffic and air quality impacts that cOuid result from development provided under the proposed project would be avoided by implementing the policies and implementation programs of the Proposed GP Policy Document and recommended mitigation measures. Irreversible Environmental Changes Implementing the proposed project would irretrievably commit prime agricultural land and these resources used for construction. Assembly Bill 3180, passed by the California Legislature in the 1987-88 session, added Section 21081.6 to the Public Resources Code as follows: A public agency shall adapt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted or made a condition of approval in order to Mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. "i%is mitigation monitoring program applies to mitigation measures adopted as part of EIRs or Negative Declaration.. Mitigation monitoring is required on all projects approved after December 31, 1988: The City of Lodi will be required by state law to establish a mitigation monitoring program. The program should, at a minimum, identify the following: what department is responsible for monitoring the mitigation, wheat is being monitored and how, what schedule is required to provide adequate monitoring, and what determines whether the monitoring is complete. 3-5 Lodi's city limits are generally defined by the Mokelumne River on the north, the Central California Traction Company (CCTV) railroad tracks on the east. Harney Lane on the south, and. the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) canal on the West. The city contains 5,091 acres (Table 2-1). In March and April 1987, the Lodi Community Development Department conducted a detailed inventory of existing land uses. The 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory was based on a windsbield survey conducted in April 1987, data from Polk's City Directory for Lodi, and input from City staff. Land uses for the surrounding -unincorporated area were determined by a windshield survey conducted in April 1987 and data from the San Joaquin County land use database. According to the land use inventory, the predominant land use in Lodi is residential. Lodi has 2,406 acres of residential land, representing 47 percent of the incorporated area. Lodi also has 357 acres (7 percent) of commercial, 65 acres (1 percent) of office, 554 acres (11 percent) of industrial, 1,126 acres (22 percent) of public/quasi-public and park, 200 acres (4 percent) of agricultural, and 382 acres (8 percent) of vacant land (Table 2-1). A number of vacant city parcels surveyed by windshield for the 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory were considered vacant when, in fact, tentative parcel or subdivision maps had been approved for them. These parcels were primarily zoned residential. This acreage is identified as "comnutted/undeveloped" in Table 2-1. Most of the 200 acres of agricultural land in the city are intermingled with industrial uses near the northeastern corner of the city. Over 75 percent of the agricultural land in the city is zoned M-2 and almost 90 percent is designated industrial in the existing city GI'. Noland is designated as agricultural on either the City zoning map or GP land use map. Of the estimated 1,704 acres of unincorporated land in the GP area, about 1,352 acres are in agricultural use. Agriculture plays an important role in the local economy. As measured by total value of production, San Joaquin County was the ninth leading agricultural county in California in 1985. These are considered prime agricultural lands, as explained further in Chapter 13, "Geology and Soil." H 4-1 0 The elements of the City's. existing:GP are described in the "No -Project Alternative" section of Chapter 2, "Project Desicription." Land use planning in Lodi is also summarized in the "Background of the Proposed General Plan" section of Chapter 2. In 1973, the San Joaquin LAFCO adopted a sphere of influence (SOI) for Lodi that had been adopted and recommended by the Lodi City Council in 1969. The 1.973 SOI identified two boundaries. The first was a large area of about 25 sqbare miles, which at that time was envisioned as the ultimate area that Lodi could annex. The boundaries of this area were imprecise and had little practical value. The inner boundary identified an urban growth line for the extension of urban services (Figure 4-1). This recommendation also declared the special districts in Woodbridge as zero-SOls, meaning that these districts would eventually be annexed to the adjacent city, thus dissolving the districts. Because Lodi's SOIs no longer realistically reflect Lodi's future needs for land, San Joaquin County LAFCO has indicated that the SOI boundaries will be reconsidered in conjunction with the City's GP update. The San Joaquin County general plan regulates land use and development in the unincorporated area surrounding Lodi, including Woodbridge. The County is now revising its general plan and is expected to adopt a revised plan in mid-1990. The Draft San Joaquin County General Plan 2010 (June 1, 1989) includes objectives, policies, and a land use map intended to guide development through 2010. Stockton adopted a revised general plan on January 16, 1990. 311: ROME "Boll-i'MUVIV�vilffAm,.Nf"ojgmkyilowf.�,,�Lli�ll.... Because so little developable land is left within the city, the impacts of the Proposed GP on existing land use patterns,, residential densities, commercial areas, and industrial areas within the city would be minimal. Total development expected to occur within the city under the Proposed GP amounts to only 583 acres, of which 366 had already been committed to development as of April 1987 (the baseline date for this general plan). The remaining acreage comprises 26 acres of residentially designated land, 18 acres of commercial land, 150 acres of industrial land, and 20 acres of public/quasi-public land (Table 2-1). Under. the Proposed GP, about 1,533 acres of additional urban development would occur by the year 2007 on currently uniincorporated land. About 1,236 acres of this land is expected to accommodate. residential uses, followed. by 78 acres for commercial uses, 82 acres for industrial uses, 40 acres for public uses (primarily schools), and 97 acres for detention basin park uses (Tables 2-1 and 4-1).

Within the. city ,limits, 5$3 acres of land are designated for development. Of this total, 213 acmes were not committed for development as of .April 1957. Based on the information in Figure 3-1 of this report, most of these lands are unclassified by the U. S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS). Ile 366 acres that were committed to development as of .April 1987 appear to be classified as prune agricultural lands by the SCS. 'These uncommitted and committed lands, with: parcels ranging in size; from. 1.4 to 27.1 acres, have historically been. earmarked for urban development. Most of these parcels (142.6 acres) are identified under the City's existing GP and zoning for heavy industrial uses and are located can the eastern side of the city. Because of their relatively small size and proximity to intensive urban uses, the viability of these parcels for continued agricultural use is limited. Of the. total currently unincorporated acreage identified for development under the Proposed GP, all 1,533 acres are on prime agricultural soil that is being used for agricultural production. ``hese 1,533 acres constitute 0.24 percent of the approximately 646,500 acres of harvested land in San Joaquin County in 1988, Of the 1,533 acres, about 540 acres of land are under Williamson ,Act contract. These 500 acres represent 0,09 percent of the approximately 536,000 acres of land held under Williamson Act contracts in San Joaquin County as of 1988. Tbe conversion of agricultural lazed to urban uses would result in a consequent loss of agricultural crop production value. The Proposed GP Background Report estimates that the average dollar value per acre of crops grown in the Lodi area is approximately $600. Application of this per -acre value to the amount of agricultural land expected to be converted to urban uses by 2007 indicates that more than $930,000 in crap values world be last as a result of development of the designations shown on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram. This amount represents € .14 percent of the estimated countywide crop value of $660 million as of 1986. The following policies and implementation program from the Proposed CSP Land Use and Growth Management Element support the City's commitment to preserving agricultural land surrounding "di and discouraging premature development of agricultural land to nonagricultural uses: o Policy B-1: The City shall encourage the preservation of agricultural land surrounding the City. o Policy B-2: The City should designate a continuous agricultural and open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City to maintain and enhance the agricultural economy and the aesthetic quality of Lodi. o Policy -3: The City should cooperate with San Joaquin County and the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission to ensure that the greenbelt is maintained. Policy -4: The City shall support the continuation of agricultural uses on lands designated for urban uses until urban development is imminent. o Policy B-5: The City shall promote land use decisions within the designated urbanized area that allow and encourage the continuation of viable agricultural activity surrounding the City. 0 Policy $-6: The City shall encourage San Joaquin County to retain agricultural uses on lands adjacent to the City. o Policy C-$: The City shall identify a planned residential reserve designation for development of residential uses beyond the time frame of the GP. Until these areas are redesignated with a nonreserve GP designation., allowed uses and development standards small be the same as these of the agricultural designation, o Policy -5: The City shall identify a planned residential reserve designation for development of industrial uses beyond the time frame of the GP. Until these areas are redesignated with a nonreserve designation., allowed uses and development standards shall be the same as those of the agricultural designation. The following Proposed GP Conservation dement policies and implementation program supp rt the City's commitment to promote the economic viability of agriculture in and around 'Lodi and to discourage the premature conversion of agricultural lands to nonagricultural uses, while providing for urban needs: as 0 Policy C-1: The City shall discourage the cancellation of Williamson Act contracts until it is demonstrated that lands with such contracts will be needed for urban development in the immediate future. 0 Policy Cwt: "The City shall ensure, in approving urban development near existing agricultural lands, that such development will not constrain agricultural practices or adversely affect the economic viability of adjacent agricultural practices. 0 Policy C-3. The City shall require Dew development to establish buffers between urian development and productive: agricultural rases consistent with the recommendations of the San. Joaquin County Department of Agriculture. o Policy C-4: The City shall adopt a "right -to -farm" ordinance by which agricultural land shall be protected from nuisance suits brought by surrounding landowners. J, 4-5 o Policy C-5: The City shall support economic programs established by Sari Joaquin County for farm preservation. o Implementation Program 7: The City shall adopt a "right -to -farm ordinance." Conversion of this land would bath remove land from agricultural production and push the urban -.rural interface furter away from the current city limits. The conversion of prune agricultural lands and Williamson Act lands is considered a significant adverse impact. Mitigation Measures o None are available other than prohibiting development of prime agricultural lands. The Proposed CF policies would reduce the impacts, but do not prevent the conversion of such lands, Therefore, this impact is considered unavoidable. The following implementation measure is available to partially reduce this impact, but not to less than significant: o The City should add the following implementation program to the Proposed GP PolicyDocument: « The City shall coordinate with San Joaquin County and the City of Stockton to identify and designate an agricultural and open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the city. Impact. Lodi is only one of many San Joaquin County communities experiencing significant demand for urban growth. Both the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County are preparing general plans that will meet the manner in which regional growth takes place. From a lad use perspective, the principal cumulative effect of increased regional growth would be the conversion of agricultural land to urban uses. The cumulative removal of prime agricultural land from agricultural production resulting from iii lernentation of the Lodi, Stockton, and San Joaquin County General Plans is considered a significant adverse impact. Mitigation Measures o Nine are available ether than prohibiting the development of prune agricultural lands, This impact is considered to be unavoidable. M Indirect Land Use Impacts Potential forgn 'cultural/Residential Conflicts Partially Deduced by Adoption of a Right- toOrdinance Impact. The conversion of agricultural land to residential development necessarily creates areaS in which the two uses abut. This adjacency of residential and agricultural uses could lead to the following land use conflicts: o Use of Chemicals: Limitations can when and how agricultural operators can apply pesticides and the kinds of pesticides they can apply. o Nuisance Complaints: Complaints about agricultural burning, noise, dust, and odors from adjacent agricultural operations. o Restrictions on Aircraft Application of Chemicals Near Residential Development: Federal Aviation Administration prohibitions on the operation of cropduster aircraft over or near residential areas. o Vandalism and Trespassing: Increased potential for trespassing, vandalism to crops and firm equipment, added probability of lawsuits, and increased waste disposal. The inevitable encroacbment of urban oases on agricultural activities, and the negative impact of this e croachment, is to some extent reduced by the fashion in which lazed use designations have been located on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram. Urban uses have been identified for contiguous blocks of land which are physically demarcated from non- urban uses as much as possible by roads and drainage canals. The Proposed Cil' Land Use and Growth Management Element contains the follov. ing policies and implementation program, which address the impacts of converting agricultural land to urban uses: o Policies A-3: The Coity shall ensure the maintenance of ample buffers between incompatible land lases. o Policies C-2, C-3, and C'-4, and Implementation Program 7, as identified above. Because these policies are general in nature and do not contain specific guidance as to what conStilutes an adequate buffer between agricultural and nonagricultural uses, this impact is considered significantly adverse, Mitigation ation Measures o The City. should add: a .policy and implementation programa to the Proposed P Policy Document that provides specific guidance on establishing buffers 4-7 between agricultural and nonagricultural uses, including the following parameters: the width of the buffer for various agricultural practices, and permitted uses in the buffer. The ri ht�t.o-farm ordinance should be written such that every deed or contract of sale for land adjacent to or within an agricultural area would be subject to the ordinance. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Impacts The designation of currently unincorporated land for urban development could create potential incompatibilities among urban land use designations, such as industrial/residential and large-scale conuncrcial/single family residential. The Proposed P attempts to minimize such incompatibilities can the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram by isolating industrial designations from residential areas and concentrating modal commercial centers at key intersections. Because of the nature of the planned residential designation, it is not passible at this point to ensure that higher density residential uses will be located near these intersections, a physical relationship which is generally considered positive from both convenience and compatibility standpoints. This impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures .11, None are required-; �.. Impact. Tbe designation of currently undeveloped land for urban development, by definition promotes url anowth. The identification of public service and facilities extensions and expamions is also growth -inducing. One right question.Whet er the Proposed GP is actually inducing growth or simply accommodatin it. because the Proposed GP includes growth control measures that restrict growth to 2.0 percent annually, the amount of land made available for development will probably fall short of satisfying potential market demand. The Proposed GP could, therefore, be characterized as accommodating growth, rather than inducing it. General plans may also be considered growth -inducing by virtue of their designation of land uses that would generate substantial expansion of employment in basic industries, and thus increase pressure for reside ut al development. The Proposed CSP is explicit in its assumption that demand for residential development will exceed demand for employment - generating uses. The distribution of the land use designations shown can. the Proposed Land 91 IF 0 d"I", Use Diagram could not, therefore, be considered growth -inducing from the standpoint of fostering demand for the construction of additional housing. Policy B-2 of the Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element recommends consideration of a continuous greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City. If such a measure were to be implemented, the City would be clearly advocating a policy direction in which growth beyond the GP area is to be avoided. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures o The City should add the following implementation program to the Proposed GP Policy Document- Tlie City shall coordinate with San. Joaquin County and the City of Stockton to identify and designate an agricultural and open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the city. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Consistency with Other Pens Inconsistent with the Draft San Joaquin County General Flan impact, Some discrepancies exist between the Proposed GP and San Joaquin County's draft plan. hese include differences in the land use designations shown for Woodbridge and differences in the designations shown for the area south of Lodi. The County's plan slows additional low-density residential development farther west and north than that shown on Lodi's Proposed GP. The area to the south of Loci, designated as planned residential reserve on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram, is planned for development beyond 2007 according to the Proposed GP. This same area is designated as agriculture on the County's 2010 draft general plan. The County's general plan does not address development beyond 2010.. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. o The City should revise the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram's designations for the Woodbridge area to reflect the County's draft general plan map for 2010; and o To. ensure that the general plans of Lodi and Sart Joaquin County do not conflict with one another, the City should establish an ongoing process by which it would coordinate its plaa ing with the County's. Implementation of both of these measures would be required to reduce this impact to less than significant. Impact. The newly adopted Stockton general plan, which is intended to wide development through 2010, extends north to Eight Mile Road, which is approximately 2 miles south of Armstrong .Road (the southern boundary of the GP area). The general plans of the two cities, therefore, designate no common land for urban development. The City of Stockton has, however, authorized preparation of a special planning area study for areas outside of its adopted general plant boundaries north of Eight toile Road, including the area north of Armstrong Road. As part of this shady, the City of Stockton intends to meet with neighboring jurisdictions, including the City of Lodi, to discuss potential planning area and urban service area boundaries. This impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures o tone are required. The following mitigation measure would further reduce this impact: o To ensure that the general plans of Lodi and the City of Stockton do not conflict with one.another, the City should establish an ongoing process by which it would coordinate its planning with Stockton's. Provision of x Request a .. ,Local Agency Formation Commission Adopt Impact. Lodi's current SOI wasprepared in 1973 and does not realistically reflect the future need to. accommodate growth in the Lodi area. Accordingly, the Proposed GP identifies a significant amount of lazed for development that lies beyond L.odi's adopted SCSI. San Joaquin County LAFCO has indicated that it will reconsider the City's SOI in conjunction with the adoption of the Proposed GP, The Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management dement includes the following implementation program, which is related to its SOI: 0 Implementation program 1e The City shall request the Sart Joaquin County LAFCO to adopt a sphere of influence for Lodz based on the long-term growth plans of the City as reflected in the GP goals and policies and proposed land eases. This impact is considered to be less than significant. owl PROPOSED GENERAL P(BEYOND 2007): IMPACT'S AND MITIGATIONMEASURES Under the. p (beyond 2007), 4,175 acres of new urban development would occur. This acreage would develop as follows: 2,834 acres of residential; 100 acres of commercial; 30 acres of office-, 779 acres of industrial; 207 acres of public/quasi-public; and 225 acres of detrition basics parks. All of the land within the city limits that is designated for urban uses would develop by 2007. In addition, 2,059 acres of development would occur beyond 2007 on currently unincorporated land, Of this total, 1,396 ares is expected to accommodate residential development (and supporting commercial, nondrainage basin parrs, nonschool public/quasi-public uses), with 426 acres identified for industrial uses, 109 for public uses (primarily schools), and 128 for detention basin parks. Conversion of Approximately 3,600Ac.res of Prime Agricultural Lands, of Which 700 Acri are # ?: Urban Uses Impact. Virtually all 2,059 acres of land identified for development beyond 2007 is on prime agricultural soil now beingused for agricultural production, according to the 1.98'7 Existing n Use Inventory conducted by the City. Under this scenario, a total of 3,600 acres would be converted, constituting 0.56 percent of the approximately 646,500 acres of harvested land its San Joaquin County in 1988. Of the 3,600 acres, approximately 700 are under Williamson .pct contract, of which approximately 200 acres would be converted after 2007. The 700 acres constitute about 0.13 percent of the approximately 536,000 acres of laced held. under Williamson Act contracts in San Joaquin County in 1988, The conversion of prime agricultural land under this scenario would bring an estimated $2.16 million reduction in agricultural crop production in the area, of which 1.2 millions would be last beyond 2007. The conversion of prime agricultural lands and Williamson Act lands is considered a significant adverse impact. Mitigation Measures o Nine are available caber than prohibiting development of prime agricultural lands. 4811 The Proposed GP policies would reduce the impacts, but do not prevent the conversion of such lands. Therefore, this impact is considered unavoidable. The following implementation measure is available to partially reduce this impact, but not to less than significant. o Same as the Proposed GP (2007). Cumulative Conversion of Prime Agricultural and Williamson Act Lands to Urban Uses Impact. This impact is similar in nature, but greater in magnitude than the Proposed GP (2007), due to the greater level of development provided for under this scenario. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures o None are available ether than prohibiting the development of prime agricultural lands. This impact is considered to be unavoidable. mmm Right - to -Farm ; ;i Impact. This impact would be similar in nature, but greater in magnitude than the Proposed GP (2007), duto the greater level of development provided for under this scenario. The policies and irraplerratatation programa identified above under the Proposed GP (2007) analysis would also partially reduce impacts under this scenario. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse, Mitigation Measures 0 Same as for the Proposed GP (2007) Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Minor Potential4or Conflicts Between Urban Impact. This impact would be less than significant for the same reasons identified for the Proposed P (2007). MitigatiOn Measures 0 None are required. Designation of Reserve Lands Would Induce Growth of these Areas Beyond the General Plan Time Frame impact. The designation of reserve lands and the planning of public service infrastructure for these lands is in.ducing growth beyond the 20 -year general plan time frame. Because it is difficult to determine the market for different land uses beyond a 20 - year time frarne, this designation is not considered to be accommodating growth but inducing growth. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures 0 The City should consider redesignating the lands shown as reserve on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram as agriculture. If the City redesignates these lands as agriculture, this impact would be reduced to less than significant. Consistency with Other Plans Inconsistent V."*th the Draft San Joaquin County General Plan Impact..

This impact is considered to be less than significant, Mitigation Measures No -Project Alternative The No Project Alternative is similar to the Proposed GP (2007), although it would result in a slightlysmall r increl en€ of growth (1,806 acres of new development versus the 2,116 acres identified tender the Proposed GP [2(07])0 The only significant physical difference between the two is the absence of a 320 -acre rectangular area extending south and west from the southwestern corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane from the No -Project Alternative. This area is identified for residential uses on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram and is currently being used for agricultural production. The nature of the land use impacts would be similar to those of the Proposed GP, but of a smaller magnitude, since less land would be converted from agricultural to urban. uses, Higher Growth Alternative The Higher Growth Alternativediffers from the Proposed GP in that it extends the area identified star development sothw rd; The Higher Growth Alternative extends rsidzttial designations st cif Harney Lane to Armstrong Road between the WID banal and SR 99. Cormnercial development is also significantly expanded along Ketlleman Lane and at the intersection of Harney Lame and Hutchins Street. The increment of laud identified for development tinder the Nigher Growth Alternative would be about 2,933 acres, compared with 2,116 acres under the Proposed GP (2047). The nature of the land use impacts would be similar to those of the Proposed GP, but of a greater magnitude, since more land would be converted from agricultural to urban uses. ME Between 1970 and 1980, the number of housing units in Lodi increased by 43.3 percent, frorn 10,333 to 14,811. Between 1980 and January 1987, the number of units increased another 23.7 percent to 18,325. Lodi's:housing mix changed substantially between 1970 and 1987, with a 1.3.2 -percent decrease in the number of single family units and a corresponding increase in the number of multifamily units. In 1987, single family units accounted for 65.7 percent of the total units, with the remaining units distributed among two- to four -unit structures (9.1 percent), developments of five or more units (22.9 percent), and mobile homes (2.2 percent). The 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory indicates 17,158 units in Lodi (Table 2-2). The following information characterizes Lodi's housing stock: 0 In 1.980, 59.4 percent of Lodi's occupied units were owner -occupied units and 40.6 percent were rentals. 0 According to the Housing Vacancy Survey of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, the 1987 overall vacancy rate in Lodi was 4.6 percent. Adjusting for developments that were newly constructed at the time of this survey and their occupancy rates, the Lodi Community Development Department estimated that the 1987 vacancy rate was 3 percent. 0 According to the 1.980 U. S. Census, 3.3 percent of Lodi's occupied units were classified as overcrowded. 0 In 1980, 49.4 percent of Lodi's housing units had been constructed before 1960 and 17.4 percent before 1940® Many of these units were constructed according to building standards less stringent than today's and, therefore, are considered substandard. 0 According to the California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD),. 66.3 percent of Lodi's lower income households were overpaying (paying 25 percent or more of their income) for housing in 19W U, Housing needs in 1980 were identified based on the following probelins: 0 Overcrowding: 3.5 percent of the City's occupied units 0 Substandard units: 12,0 percent of the City's units 0 Overpayment: 79.6 percent of Lodi's lower income renters and 45.6 percent of lower income owners Califomia state law requires each jurisdiction in the state to determine the number of new housing units that must be constructed to serve the needs of all income groups of the projected population. The San Joaquin County Council of Governments prepared the Market Rate Fair Share Housing Allocation: 1986 to 1990, which was adopted in 1983. The City requested that HCD provide the City with an estimate of regional fair share housing through July 1992, when the City will update its Housing Element. HCD recommended that the City apply a straight-line extension of the 1986-1990 estimate. Table 5-1a shows the estimates by income category for January 1990 to July 1992, the period being addressed by the Proposed GP. Table 5-1b indicates new construction needed to achieve a 5 -percent vacancy rate. The following groups with special housing needs in Lodi were identified: 0 Disabled: Approximately 500 disabled persons resided in Lodi in 1984. According to the 1980 census, approximately 8.8 percent of Lodi's residents age 16 to 64 had work-related disabilities and 3.0 percent of residents age 16 and over had transportation -related disablilities. 0 Elderly. The 1980 census indicated that 15,8 percent of the City's population was elderly (age 65 or over) and that 26.7 percent of Lodi's households had elderly members. 0 Large families: Approximately 8.0 percent of Lodi's occupied units had families with five or more members. 0 Farmworkers* Althoueb the number of farmworkers is unknown, housing to accommodate farmworkers is an important issue, especially during the grape harvest season from August through September. o Female heads of households: The 1980 census indicated that 12.2 percent of Lid's families were headed by single women. 0 Homeless and other persons needing emergency shelter: The number of horneless people in Lodi is unknown. This group includes farmworkers, battered women and children, persons evacuated from their homes because of disasters, evicted tenants, and runaways.

Census, 94 percent of L.odi's residents worked within Sart Joaquin County and 62 percent worked in Lodi. Considering the city's proximity to both Stockton and Sacramento, this represents a high percentage of employment within Lodi. Lodi, along with Cather urban areas in California, has become increasingly subject to worsening traffic congestion and a deterioration in air quality. As the employment centers of Stockton, Sacramento, and, most recently, the Bay Area have come to rely on Lodi for housing, average commute times and rales traveled for Lodi residents have increased. Analysis of the jobs -housing balance is based on the premise that vehicle trips and commuting can be reduced if sufficient local jobs are provided for the population characteristics of the community. Achieving a jobs -housing balance requires that the location, intensity, and mature of jobs in general be controlled to encourage a reduction in vehicle trips and miles traveled. The California Employment Development Department's estimate of existing employment in Lodi is 18,800, while housing is estimated at 17,158. These figures represent a ratios of approximately 1.1 jobs per housing unit. However, the traffic analysis conducted for this EIR indicates that consideration of the jobs -housing ratio alone is insufficient to provide significant information. This traffic analysis indicated that approximately 30 percent of the commute traffic in Lodi is outbound, whereas 27 percent is inbound. The remaining 43 percent represents those commuters who bath live and work within. Lodi. 'These commute figures probably indicate that appropriate jobs for the residents of Lodi are more scarce than the jobs -housing ratio would indicate, and that skill level characteristics between Lodi's resident population and labor force requirements are at odds, resulting in relatively high inbound/outbound commute levels. PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (2007). IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Growth in Housing Stock Pull development of the residential designations shown on the Proposed GP Hand Use Diagram would add 1.0,008 units to Lo is housing stock by 2007 (Table 5-2). A total of 1,356 units would d elesp within the current city limits, with 1,143 committed to development as of April 1987 (the baseline date for this GP). All of the residential growth expected to occur outside: of the current city .limits would be designated planned residential. As explained in. Chapter 2, "Pri�ject Description," new residential units within the areas designated as pled residential will be developed according to the Proposed GP policy of maintaining the following mix of residential densities- 65 percent low density (0.1 to 7.0 snits per gross acre)., 10 percent medium density (7.1 to 20.0 units per acre), and 25 percent high density (20.1 to 30.0 units per dere).

HousingEstablishment of a Allocation System Limiting Growth in Housing StockA Percent Impact. The }proposed GP assumes that Lodi's housing stock will grow at a compounded rate of approximately 2.4 percent annually. The 2.0 -percent annual growth rate target was established by the Mayor's Task Force on Measure A in a July 1987 report entitled A Growth Management Program for Lodi. The major components of this program are: o A policy calling for a 2.0mpercent limit on growth to be implemented through a residential development allocation systems, whereby a specified number of units of single family and multifamily development is allocated each year; o Application of the growth management program to all residential developments of five units or greater, with the exception of senior citizen housing, aro o Institution of a point evaluation and scaring systema, by which each project application for a new housing project would be given a paint rating based on agricultural land conflicts, onsite agricultural land mitigation, relationship to public services, promotion of opera space, traffic and circulation level of service, required traffic improvements, housing, and site plait and project design. Point assignments will be made during the environmental review process. Although the Mayoes Task Force recommended a 2.0 -percent growth rate, land identified on the Proposed GP Land Use Diagram can accommodate an annual rate of about 2.28 percent. This additional acreage will allow some flexibility in the location of neer residential development. Limitations on annual housing stack growth could lead to increases in the cast of new and existing housing, thereby constraining the availability of affordable housing. The cost of existing housing could increase due to the intensity of demand for and scarcity of new housing units. The only way to reduce the potentially negative effects of the growth management program on the housing market would be to eliminate the program or to increase the annual growth rate to allow for the development of more new housing. 'ne following policies and implementation programs, included in the Housing Element of the Proposed GP Policy Document, promote the development of affordable housing: 0 Policy A-4: In evaluating development proposals under the City's Growth Management Program, the City shall give priority to projects that include units affordable to low- and moderate -income households. Policy A-5: 'ne City sball exempt senior citizen housing projects from the 2.0 percent growth management ordinance. 0 Policy A-7: The City shall pursue all available state and federal funding assistance that is appropriate to Lodi's needs to develop affordable housing. o Policy A-8. The City shall utilize available techniques, such as mortgage revenue bonds or other mortgage-backed securities, to develop affordable housing. 0 Policy A-10: The City shall ensure that its policies, regulations, and procedures do not add unnecessarily to the cost of housing while assuring attainment of other City objectives. 0 Policy A-11, In accordance with the provisions of State law, the City shall grant density bonuses of at least twenty-five (25) percent for qualifying projects as an incentive for the development of low- and moderate -income and senior citizen housing. 0 Policy A-12: If below -market -rate units are included in a project pursuant to the density bonus program or other local, state, or federal requirements, the City shall require buyer/renter eligibility screening and resale/rent controls for at least 10 years to maintain affordability of the units to originally targeted income groups. 0 Policy A-13.- Those residential units which are required to sell. or rent at below-market rates are included within a housing. development, such units shall be interspersed within the development and shall be visually indistinguisb able from market -rate units. 0 Policy A-14. The City shall, on a citywide basis, allow the installation of mobile homes and factory -built housing on permanent foundations in accordance with residential design standards administered by the City. 0 Policy A-15: The City shall strive to provide for its share of the region's I housing needs, 0 Policy A-16, The City shall promote the development of senior housing near I neighborhood centers. U d 5-7 0 Policy A-17: The City shall promote the development of seasonal housing for migrant workers. 0 Policy A-18: The City shall promote the development of temporary housing for the homeless and those in need of emergency shelter. 0 Policy A-19. The City shall ensure, through conditions of approval, that affordable housing will be produced simultaneously with market -rate housing, 0 Policy A-20: The City shall encourage the maintenance, improvement, and rehabilitation of single room occupancies (SRO) and residential rental units located in commercial and industrial areas and shall pursue all forms of financing available for these purposes. 0 Implementation Program 1: The City shall revise the Zoning Ordinance to provide for a density bonus of at least 25 percent for all residential projects that reserve at least 25 percent of its units for low- or moderate -income households, or at least 10 percent of its units for lower income households, or at least 50 percent for qualifying senior citizens, 0 Implementation Program 3: The City shall pursue all available and appropriate state and federal funding sources to support efforts to meet new construction and rehabilitation needs of low- and moderate -income households and to assist persons with rent payments required for existing units, 0 Implementation Program 4. The City shall use CDBG [Community Development Block Grant] funds to subsidize onsite and offsite infrastructure improvements for lower-income housing projects. 0 Implementation Program 5: The City may use available techniques, such as mortgage revenue bonds or other mortgage-backed securities, to develop affordable ownership and rental housing. 0 Implementation Program 6: The City shall amend the Zoning Ordinance to provide for the development of manufactured and factory -built housing consistent with the requirements of state law. 0 Implementation Program 12: The City shall continue to cooperate with the San Joaquin County Housing Authority in its administration of the Section 8 rental assistance program. 0 Implementation Program 15: The City shall adopt an emergency shelter/transitional housing ordinance to clearly identify appropriate sites for such facilities and to make these sites readily accessible for development through establishment of clear development guidelines. M 0 Implementation Program 17: The City shall implement a fair share monitoring program that tracks City progress toward contributing its fair share of the region's housing needs. 0 Implementation Program 18: Tbe City shall pursue rehabilitation funds made available by Statewide Proposition 77 (June 1988). For the purposes of CEQA, this socioeconomic impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. Jobs -Housing Balance Development of Sufficient Housing to Accommodate New Residents Expected to Be Employed in Udi Impact. The notion of balancing housing development with employment generation involves the pnimary objective of reducing commute distance, along with the following three fundamental relationships: 0 The spatial relationship between employment centers and residential development, 0 The numerical relationship between the number of employees generated by nonresidential development and the number of housing units generated by residential development, and 0 The qualitative relationship between the cost of housing developed and the income levels of jobs generated in nonresidential developments. The Proposed OP would provide enough land for about 10,008 new housing units and about 11,833 new jobs by 2007. As a general rule, a balance between the number of housing units developed and the number of jobs generated can be calculated by dividing the number of jobs created by the average number of workers per household (assumed to be 1.25 in Lodi) and then adding enough units to achieve a vacancy rate of 5 percent, Applying this formula to the Proposed GP indicates, the need for about 9,940 housing units to accommodate new employees. Thus, the Proposed GP would allow the development of sufficient units to satisfy the demand created by employment -generating land uses. 'Therefore, this impact is considered to be less than significant. Although new housing development would be sufficient to meet the demand generated by locally employed residents, the affordability of housing for low- and moderate - 1 5-9 income workers would not .necessarily be assured. The proposed planned residential designation is intended to provide affordable housing by requiring new developments to include a combination of low-, medium-, and high-density units. The distribution of densities within the planned residential designation would also contribute to a qualitative internal balance among housing types and, therefore, a positive relationsbip between the cost of new units and the income levels to be supported by employment -generating land uses. Most of the new job growth in Lodi is expected to be either in the industrial sector or in local -serving conunercial operations, with little new office employment. The income characteristics of these employees should result in a greater demand for the new medium - and high-density units developed under the Proposed CST'. The remaining, lower density units could be expected to accommodate neve residents commuting to job markets with employment sectors that generate higher income. Because Lodi is relatively small and isolated, the spatial relationship, which usually plays an important role in the consideration of the jobs -housing balance, is less crucial. Implementation of the Proposed CSP would allow the development of sufficient housing to accommodate new residents expected to be employed in Lodi. Therefore, this impact is considered to be less than significant. .. e Estimated Jobs -Housing Ratio of 1.1 in 2007 Impact. Implementation of the Proposed GP would add about 11,833 jobs an4l 10,008 . per e e housing mix would allow the cumulative jobs -housing ratio in Lodi to remain at 1.1 jobs per housing unit. If all new jabs were filled by Lodi residents, only a minor number of new residents would still need to commute to areas outside of Lodi for work. This impact is considered to be less than significant. -10 In addition to the residential development expected to take place through 2007 (10,008 units), the Proposed GP Lid. Use Diagram designates residential land for 9,772 additional units, all of which are designated as planned residential reserve. 71is would bring the total number of units that could be developed in residentially designated areas (including reserve areas) to 19,780 units (Table -2). according to the ratio of densities assumed under the planned residential reserve designation, the 9,772 units expected to develop beyond 2007 in currently unincorporated areas would comprise 6,352 low-density units, 977 medium -density units, and 2,443 high-density units (Table 2-2). Growth in Housing Stock Establishment of a Housing Allocation System Limiting Growth in Housing Stock to 2A., Percent Annually Impact. according to the growth management provisions of the Proposed GP Policy Document, the housing stock would grow at the same rate (2.0 percent) beyond 2007. s before 2007. For this reason, this impact is expected to be similar to those described for the Proposed GP (2007). For CEQA purposes, this socioeconomic impact is expected to be fess than significant. Mitigation Measures o None are required. Development of Sufficient Housing to Accommodate New Residents Expected to Be Employed in Lodi impact$ The Proposed OP would provide enough land for about 9,772 new housing units and about. 7,852 new jobs beyond 2007. This estimate excludes commercial and office employment and public/quasi-public employment other than for schools since these rases are assumed to be included in the planned residential reserve category. The formula outlined above indicates that about 6,595 housing units will be needed to accommodate 7,82 new employees. The Proposed GP (beyond 2007) calls for the development of many more units. These units would accommodate commercial and office employment and new residents commuting to jabs outside of Lodi. 5-11 This impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 My were filled by LOW re M= bul .. sidents, new residents occupying approximately 3, 175 homes wou 1 a 5e available to fill commercial, office, and other public/quasi-public jobs. It is expected only a minor number of people would need to commute to areas outside of Udi. This impact is considered to be less than significant. o lone are required. implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. TheNo-Project alternative is similar to the Proposed GP but would result in a slightly smaller increment of growth (24,003 new units versus 27,260 units under the Proposed GP) (Tables 2-5 and 5-2). Two significant differences exist in terms of the location, of residentially designated land. The first involves a rectangular area of about 320 acres extending south and west from the southwestern carrier of Tower Sacramento Road and I'ettleman Lane. This area, is designated for planned residential uses on the Proposed CSP Land Use Diagram and could accommodate approximately 2,250 units, it is not included on the land use diagram of the No -Project Alternative. The second major difference relates to the density of residential development indicated for the area south of Kettleman Lane and north of Harney Lane. The Proposed P designates currently undeveloped laud in this area as planned residential (7 units per acre), while the No -Project Alternative designates this area as low density (5 units per acre), 5-12 f Overall, the housing -related impacts of the No -Project Alternative would be less severe than these occurring under the Proposed GP since the Into -Project Alternative includes no policy constraint on the development of .new housing. Otherwise, the impacts would be similar. 0 Higher Growth Alternative. The Higher Growth .Alternative differs from the Proposed GP by extending the area identified for development southward, Tice Higher Growth Alternative extends residential designations south of Marney Lane to Armstrong road between the WID Canal and SR 99. The land identified for development under the Higher Growth Alternative would accommodate about 14,125 new units, compared with 10,008 units under the Proposed GP (Tables 2-5 and 5-2)w Because this alternative includes no policy constraint on the amount of neva housing and is based on predicted Market demand, the development of affordable housing is more likely than under the Proposed GP. M I CHAPTER 0.. P.opulation IPopulation Trends r7 1"I' -1,111"i The population of Lodi has increased steadily since 1920. From 1920 to 1950, the population increased from 5,000 to 13,800. From 1950 to 1980, the population increased by approximately. 21,400 to 35,000, In. 1987, the population of Lodi was 45,795, representing a 30 -percent increase since 1980 (Table 2-3). The population growth rate in Lodi prior to 1970 greatly exceeded the county growth rate. Since 1970, Lodrs growth rate has been comparable to the county growth rate. Since 1980, both the city and county growth rates have been almost double the growth rate of California. Lodi is currently San Joaquin County's second largest city, second only to Stockton. Recent estimates suggest that the population of Manteca could soon surpass the population of Lodi. Future growth in Lodi depends on the number of births versus deaths and net migration into Lodi. Lodi currently has a lower birthrate than at any time in its past. Migration into Lodi will depend on housing costs, availability of jobs, and the public perception of the city living environment. A lack of jobs in Lodi is not as critical to population growth as it might be in other cities because of Lodi's close proximity to other employment centers. The perceived quality of the city's facilities and services, as well as aesthetics, traffic, and air quality, play a critical role in encouraging in -migration. If Lodi continued to grow at the average annual Tate of 3.9 percent (the average growth rate between 1980 and 1987), the population of Lodi could climb to approximately 80,000 by 2007a The City Engineering Department, however, prepared a report indicating that, assuming maximum residential densities and 2.17 persons per housing unit, the maximum population of Lodi would be limited to 49,000 if the City provided no new land for development. This level could be reached by 1995. The GP area (including areas covered the proposed reserve designations) includes approximately 3,899 acres of county land immediately adjacent to the city. This area has an approximate population of 925, representing 2.0 percent of the GP area's total estimated 1987 population of 46,719 (Table 2-3). -6-1 Imm The 1950 U. S. Census indicates that Lodi's population of older people is increasing, Shifting age concentrations in Lodi indicate a declining birth rate and an aging population. Compared to California, Lodi has 5.6 percent more of its population in the 65 -year -plus category. This difference is clue to the fact that the median age in Lodi (33.6 years) is significantly higher than the county (29.8 years) and the state (29.9 years) median ages. The 1980 census indicates that 90 percent of Lodi's population is white, with 10 percent of these being persons of Spanish origin. Ile only other significant ethnic group in Lodi is the Asian ethnic group, which represents 3.3 percent of the population. The city's ratio of whites to other ethnic groups is significantly higher than the ratio for San Joaquin County or California.

The development of land designated. for residential uses under the Proposed GP would increase the population of the GP area from 46,308 to 71,505 over the 20 -year planning period (Table 2-3). This represents a 54 -percent increase over the existing population. Table 6-1 summarizes the population increases by land use for the Proposed GP. Implementation of the Proposed GP would result in population growth at the simple annual average rate of 2.7 percent. This rate is substantially lower than recent growth rates. The fallowing implementation program of the Land Use and Growth Management Element affects the population growth rate implied by the Proposed GP: o Implementation Program 4® The City shall adopt a growth management ordinance to implement the 2.0 percent growth rate consistent with the recommendations of the Mayor's Task Force.

The Proposed GP Policy Document recognizes that the acreage designated for residential uses (coupled with the recommended densities) would allow an annual compounded housing and population growth rate of 2.28 percent. This policy is the primary growth -regulating factor of the Proposed GP. Because the City has little land left to develop, the majority of population growth associated with the Proposed GP would occur on currently unincorporated land adjacent to Lodi. The primary population growth areas under the Proposed GP would be represented by the planned residential developments to the west and south of the existing city limit. These areas are not currently within Lodi and would be included in future annexations. Together, these two growth areas would constitute 86.6 percent of population growth allowed for during the 20 -year planning period. The remaining residential uses (low, medium, and high density and Eastside residential) would be dispersed within the existing city limits. Population growth and the resulting population growth patterns under the Proposed GP would not in themselves constitute significant adverse impacts. However, the addition of 25,197 residents would result in significantly adverse secondary impacts related to land use conflicts, transportation and circulation, public services and facilities, biological resources, air quality, and noise in the project area. See the appropriate EIIS sections for discussions of these impacts. Mitigation Measures 0 Refer to the mitigation measures contained in Chapters 4, 9, 10, 14, 15, and 16 for a discussion of mitigation needed to reduce secondary impacts concerning land use conflicts, transportation and circulation, public services and facilities, biological resources, air quality, and noise. Implementation of these measures would reduce this impact to less than significant. Establishment of a Housing Allocation System that Could Affect Housing Costs and, Therefore, Population Characteristics I Impact. Population characteristics could be affected by the growth -limiting policies of the Proposed GP. Limiting housing stock development would constrain the availability of housing in Lodi, which could result in higher housing costs. Higher housing costs could discourage the immigration of lower income groups, thereby affecting the composition and characteristics of Lodi's future population (see also Chapter 5, "Housing"). The following Proposed GP Housing Element policies promote the development of affordable housing: 0 Policies A-4, A-5, A-7, A-8, A-10, A-11, A-12, A-13, A-14, A-15, A-16, A -17 A-18, A-19, and A-20 as identified in Chapter 5. 0 Implementation Programs 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 15, 17, and 18 as identified in Chapter 5. U 64 For the purposes of CEQA, this socioeconomic impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. Impact. Total population growth beyond 2007 would be 25,056. This increase represents an approximate 108 -percent increase over the 1987 population and an approximate 35-pereent increase in the 2007 population. The secondary impacts would be similar in nature, but greater in magnitude to those occurring by 2007. Therefore, these secondary impacts are considered significantly adverse. See the approporiate EIR sections for discussion of these impacts. Mitigation Measures 0 Same as for the Proposed GP (2007). Impact. Potential impacts on population characteristics would be similar to those that could occur by 2007. This socioeconomic impact is considered less than significant for CEQA purposes. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. MIS ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN No -Project Alternative The No -Project Alternative would provide for a population increase of 17,502, bringing the population of Lodi to 63,810 (Table 2-6). This would represent a 38 -percent increase over the 1987 population and 31 percent less growth than the 2007 population under the Proposed GP. Although the average annual population increase would be approximately 1.9 percent, the absence of growth -limiting policies would allow the majority of this growth to occur within the first several years of GP implementation. The No -Project Alternative would encourage less total population growth by designating less land for residential development and by proposing lower residential densities, As with the other alternatives, population growth would occur primarily on land outside Lodi's existing city limits with some infill development within the city. The growth patterns under this alternative would be similar to the Proposed GP with the exception of a large area at the southwest corner of the GP area which would remain in agricultural use. M Implementation of the Higher Growth Alternative would increase population in Lodi by 35,597, bringing Lodi's population to 81,905 (Table 2-6). This would represent a 77 -percent increase over the 1987 population and 14.5 -percent increase over the 2007 population under the Proposed GP. Since no growth -limiting policies would be in effect under the Higher Growth Alternative, population growth would be more likely to occur at a substantially higher rate earlier in the planning period than under the Proposed GP. Population increase under the Higher Growth Alternative would occur primarily from development of those lands designated as planned residential This additional growth would occur at the south end of the GP area outside the current city limits. U H fl 6-6 1 CHAPTER 7. EMPIO. ..-Ot MMMI ��= The 1980 U. S. Census estimated that approximately 56.4 percent of Lodi's employment was based on retail trade, durable and nondurable goods manufacturing, and health and educational services. This percentage exceeds the San Joaquin County (County) figure of 47.3 percent for the same industries. Lodi generates 22.2 percent of its employment in durable and nondurable goods, compared to the county's 14.2 percent, whereas the county shows 14.3 percent of its population employed in agriculture, fisheries, and mining sectors, compared to Lodi's 5.3 percent. Employment in Lodi has increased from an estimated 16,200 in 1983 to 18,000 in 1986. This represents an annual average increase of 3.7 percent compared to the county's average annual employment increase of 1.7 percent between 1980 and 1986 (147,000- 162,000). The California Employment Development Department's most recent employment estimate for Lodi is 18,800 (Table 7-1). MCM Employment in 1980 by occupation in both Lodi and San Joaquin County was quite similar, with Lodi having a slightly greater proportion of workers in sales, precision production, craft, and repair service occupational groups and San Joaquin County having a greater proportion of workers in the farming, forestry, and fishing occupational groups (Table 7-2). Employment by industry in Lodi indicates an emphasis on retail trade, durable and nondurable goods manufacturing, and health and educational services. Unemployment within San Joaquin County, including Lodi, has historically been high relative to unemployment in California. This can be attributed to the seasonality of the agricultural economy, which affects associated industries in the county, such as food processing, canning, and transportation. the county's unemployment rate was 10.7 percent in 1975, 10.9 percent in 1980, and 12. 6 percent in 1985. Lo is unemployment rate has varied since 1980.

I Employment Growth and Growth Characteristics Increase in Employment of 63 Percent I Impacts. Implementation of the Proposed GP would increase employment within the GP area by a projected 11,833 workers during the 20 -year planning period for a 2007 employment level of 30,633 (Table 7-1). These figures represent a 63 -percent increase, or an average annual increase of 3.1 percent, slightly lower than historical employment trends. With a land use mix favoring new housing development over employment growth, the Proposed GP would be consistent with the community's desire to maintain its status as a bedroom community serving the larger employment centers of Sacramento, Stockton, and the Bay Area. The Proposed GP states: Throughout the general plan update process, a recurring theme has been the desire to maintain Lodi's small-town community character, Fundamental to this notion is the focus on residential development. Lodi has historically been a bedroom community, providing residential opportunities for employment centers to the south (Stockton) and north (Sacramento). Recently, this focus has broadened as employment centers in the East Bay have begun to look to the Central Valley for housing. The satisfaction of this increased demand without compromising the qualities that make Lodi an attractive place to live is a fundamental goal of this GP. The Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element also recognizes the importance of providing employment -generating uses to support its residential uses with the following policies: 0 Policy D -h The City shall preserve and promote downtown Lodi as the City's social and cultural center and an economically viable retail and professional office district. 0 Policy D-2: The City shall encourage future retail commercial and professional office uses to locate in downtown Lodi. 0 Policy •1; The City shall promote and assist in the maintenance and expansion of Lodi's commercial sector to meet the needs of both Lodi residents and visitors. 7-4 1 0 Policy E-3: The City shall encourage large-scale commercial centers to be located along major arterials and at the intersections of major arterials and freeways. 0 Policy E-6- The City shall ensure the availability of adequate sites for new commercial development. 0 Policy F-1, Local -serving office uses shall be located downtown and throughout the community in areas easily accessible to Lodi's residents. 0 Policy F-3: The City shall monitor the rate of new office development to ensure that it satisfies the needs of the market. 0 Policy G4: The City shall monitor the rate of new industrial development to ensure that it satisfies the needs of the market. The employment growth expected under the Proposed GP is considered a less -than - significant impact. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (BEYOND 2007). - IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Employment Growth and Growth Characteristics Increase in Employment Impact. Industrial- and school -related employment growth beyond 2007 is projected to exceed 2007 employment for the same uses by 7,852 for a total of 16,123 employees beyond 2007. Total employee levels beyond 2007 cannot be projected since commercial and office -uses are not specifically accounted for on the GP Land Use Diagram (Table 7-1). This impact is considered to be less than significant. 0 None are required. W ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN The Pio-Project Alternative would increase employment in Lodi by 12,124 to a total of 30,924 (Table 7-3). This 65 percent increase represents a 3.2 percent average annual growth rate over the 20 -year planning period. Employment growth in Udi under the cpm .Project Alternative would be slightly greater than under the Proposed GP and slightly less than shown in recent trends. . Implementation of the Higher Growth Alternative would increase employment by 14,757 jobs to a total of 33,557 (`Table 7-3). This figure represents a 78 .percent increase over current employment and an average annual increase of 3.9 percent per year over the 20 -year planning period. Job growth would be higher than under the Proposed GP, and slightly greater than for recent growth levels. in C C L 0 Ll on Mom NMIMM MOMMOM SM MM MMMMMM BWMMMM�=M. I Table 7-3.

Fiscal Considerations and Economic Conditions Analysis of fiscal and economic impacts is not required by CE A. The Proposed GP Background Report contains an analysis of the City of Midi's operating budget and general fund as of 1987. This report also describes the 1987 and historic market trends and characteristics of residential, commercial, and industrial development in Lodi. Tle City is currently preparing a fiscal impact analysis of the Proposed P. This report will be available for review at city offices. 71e Proposed GP Land Absorption Study analyzes the market factors affecting the future 20 -year demand for residential, commercial, and industrial land in Lodi. 8-1 a ti Lodi is currently served by a grid pattern street system with a circulation network characterized by flat struts. The arteries are characterized by mixed commercial, industrial, and residential uses, and the secondary roadways have mostly residential uses. STS 99 is a four -lane, divided, grade -separated facility that provides regional access to Stockton and Sacramento. Existing Traffic Conditions Existing traffic volumes were collected during 1957 because that was the time at which existing conditions were assessed for the Proposed GP. The evening peak hoar was considered the important time period for analysis. 1987 evening peak -hour volumes are shown in Figure 9-1. � _4 Existing traffic conditions were assessed using the Level of Service (LOS) concept, a quantitative measure of traffic operating characteristics. A letter grade of A through F, representing progressively worsening traffic conditions, is assigned to a roadway segment or art intersection. The City generally considers LOS C or better to be acceptable traffic conditions. L.#,,vel of Service Estimates of LOS, as presented in the Proposed GP Background Report, show that most of the major roadway segments are operating at LOS A or E and all roadways are generally operating at LCIS C or better. LOS at the critical intersections, as shown in Table 9-1, are generally at LOS C or better, except at the intersection of l intc ins Street and F ettleman Lane, which is operating at LOS D underexisting conditions. W NOTE: All volumes adjusted to a sim lar time period to eliminate monthly variation in courts. s Lodi General Plan 87,01: JT MW Table �-I Existing Intersection Level of gerv!!Le Analysis n H 9M Intersection -North-South Streets Ew-west.streets YLq_LOS Lower Sacramento Elm 0.57 A Lower Sacramento Turner/Woodhaven 0.33 A Lower Sacramento Lodi 0.63 8 Hutchins Harney 0.42 A Stockton Harney 0.41 A School Lodi 0.51 A Sacramento Lodi 0.45 A Church/Rivergate Turner 0.36 A Lower Sacramento (North) Turner 0.61) A Ham Lockeford 0.40 A Cherokee Lodi 0.62 8 Cherokee Lockeford 0.38 A Cherokee Victor OZ A Ham Lodi 0.63 B Church Lodi 0.44 A Church Pine 0.36 A Church Lockeford 0.58 A Ham Turner 0.35 A Lower Sacramento Harney 0.68 A Hutchins Kettleman 0,82 D Lower Sacramento Vine 0.57 A Hutchins Ham Lodi Kettlernan 0,62 OM B B Mita Lodi 0.46 A Hutchins Elm 0.49 A Ham Century 0.34 A Hutchins Vine 0.56 A Cherokee Kettleman 011 C Cluff Victor 0.53 A n H 9M r� 11 am= The following information highlights the status of existing non -automobile -oriented modes of transportation: 0 Parking in Lodi appears adequate for existing land uses. 0 Lodi does not have a faxed -route transit service but does have a Dial -a -Ride transit service. 0 The City is served by two rail services: the SPRR and the CCTC. Currently, railroad service is limited to freight and does not provide Lodi with passenger service. 0 Lodi has two private airfields but no commercial air service. 17MIMMOMM 0 Overall, other transportation modes in Lodi are limited, due to the small size of the study area, but are adequate for the City's existing needs. Existing Internal -External and External -Intern l Travel Patterns I Trips originating inside the GP area destined for locations outside are referred to as internal-external trips. Similarly, trips originating outside destined for locations inside the GP area are referred to as external-internal trips. Internal-external and external-internal travel patterns are important from a regional perspective. Changes in these travel patterns over time affect travel demand on regional transportation facilities, such as SR 99 and 1-5. Regional travel patterns were estimated in developing the trip generation equations for the local travel demand model developed as part of the Proposed GP. Total trip generation was estimated for each land use designation. The trips were then split into trip purposes by land use designation using national travel behavior information and modified for local conditions. The three explicit trip purposes are home-based work, home-based other, and non -home based. Specific assumptions were made concerning the percentage of internal-external trips, which then affected the calculation of external-internal trips. Internal-external and external-internal travel patterns are presented in Table 9-2. Under existing conditions, during the p.m. peak hour, 26 percent of the trips produced are estimated to have destinations outside of the GP area, and 28 percent of the trips attracted are estimated to originate outside the GP area. 9-4 1 Tata€e 9-2 Inte€ntl-Exteroo and External-internal 'gavot Patterns Dadra the P.M.

M Future Transportation Improvements Provided for by Proposed General Plan The Proposed GP Future Circulation Network Diagram (by 2007), presented previously in Figure 2-4, portrays the major roadway and interchange improvements that would be needed with implementation of the Proposed P. Additional site-specific improvements, including changes to intersection geometries, have been identified in the Lodi Cityuide Circulation Study. This study documents the travel demand modeling assumptions used to identify the improvements presented in the Proposed GP Future Circulation Network Diagram and describes in detail all improvements needed to accommodate the level of development proposed in the Proposed GP (Tables 9-3 and 9-4). 'ne Proposed GP Policy Document includes the following implementation program in the Circulation Element: 0 Implementation Program 2: The City shall adopt and periodically review a traffic impact fee ordinance that would require all new development to pay a fair share of future transportation improvements. The City shall periodically review the proposed roadway improvements, update cost estimates, and assess the adequacy of the fee schedule to finance proposed improvements. Implementing this measure would ensure funding of future transportation improvements. The following analysis assumes that the transportation improvements identified in the Proposed GP Policy Document and citywide circulation study and the implementation program providing funding for required improvements are implemented as part of the Proposed GP. Methodology Implementation of the Proposed GP would primarily affect the capacity and operations of the existing roadway system. A computer-based travel demand model was used for the citywide circulation study to simulate existing and future traffic volumes and to determine required improvements. Model Description The computer-based travel demand model was developed using the MINUTP software package. The MIN UIT software, operating on an IBM-compatible microcomputer, was developed from the Federal Highway Administration's Urban Transportation Planning System model for mainframe computers. These modeling packages use a gravity model technique to distribute and assign traffic on a roadway network, based 1 9-9 0 on land use estimates and existing traffic flow patterns. The MIN UTP system is one of the more sophisticated transportation planning software systems currently available for a microcomputer. The travel demand model developed for Lodi was initially a daily model and was later refined to simulate p.m. peak -hour traffic flows, A peak -hour model allows identification of specific improvements at intersections and interchanges required to accommodate peak traffic flows. The first step in developing the model was to establish a larger study area and then a detailed study area. For the City, the detailed study area encompassed the GP area. Street network and traffic zone structures were then delineated within the detailed study area. The study area was broken into 365 traffic zones, a fairly detailed level of analysis for an area the size of Lodi. The land uses for each traffic zone were ..determined from aerial photographs of the study area and discussions with City staff and were verified against the 1987 Existing Land Use Inventory, The roadway network and land use data file developed for existing conditions were used to simulate existing traffic flows. Once a "calibrated" cxisting-conditions traffic model was developed, future traffic projections were made by adjusting the roadway network and land use files to reflect future conditions. Trip Generation Trip generation is determined by multiplying the types and quantities of land use within the traffic zone by a standard trip generation rate. This yields an estimate of the number of trips produced and attracted by various land uses. Residential uses are typically trip producers, and commercial and industrial uses are trip attractors. A summary of trip generation rates used is presented in Table 9-5. Trip generation estimates account for internal -internal (trips originating from and destined for points within the study area), internal-external, and external-internal trip types. The estimates do not account for those trips that pass through the study area (external -external trips). The extemal-external trips were calculated by estimating the existing number of through trips and adjusting these figures by a growth rate (1.5-2.5 percent over a 2(t -year period) to estimate future through trips. These growth rates were based on volume projections from the SJCCOG. To determine the interaction of travel within and between traffic zones and cordon station, a standard gravity distribution model was used. The trip interchange can be subdivided into trip beginning and ending locations, trip type, and trip purpose. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Peak Daily Land Use Units Single -Family Residential Duplex Residential Multi -Family residential Office Light Industrial Heavy Industrial Light Commerclal Downtown General Commercial Shopping Center Public Offices & Civic Center Open Space/Agricultural Park & Public Facilities Elementary/Junior High School High School Hospitals Notes: TE - Trips Ends DU = Dweiiirlg Units 1.1 10 TE/DU 0.9 8 TE/DU 0,7 6 TE/DU 128 TE/ACRE 11 65 TE/ACRE 7 40 TE/ACRE 15 150 TE/ACRE 70 700 TE/ACRE 30 300 TE/ACRE 30 300 TE/ACRE 16 160 TE/ACRE 0.05 015 TE/ACRE 0.4 4 TE/ACRE DA 1.1 TE/STUDENT 0.26 2.5 TE/STUDENT 15 150 TE/ACRE M Trip types, as previously described, are classified as internal -internal, internal-exterrial, external-internal, and external -external. The trip purpose can be defined as home-based work, home-based other (such as shopping or school trips), and non -home based (such as a trip from work to shopping), The gravity -based model calculates the interaction of trip purposes and trip types between traffic zones and is sensitive to travel time between zones and to the size and type of land uses. Destinations that are close will be more attractive for the swine trip purpose than destinations that are farther away. Traffic Assignment The capacity restraint method was used in assigning the traffic generated by the study area to the street network. In the capacity restraint methodology, traffic is assigned to the study area roadway network in increments. As various facilities approach capacity, traffic is reassigned to less crowded facilities. 2007 Traffic Volumes P.M. peak -hour traffic volumes estimated with implementation of the Proposed GP are presented in Figure 9-2. Future Internal -External Travel Patterns A summary of the future internal-external and external-internal travel patterns are presented in Table 9-2. It was assumed that 1987 travel patterns would not change significantly in 2007, During the p.m. peak hour, 26 percent of the trips produced are projected to have destinations outside of the study area, and 25 percent of the trips attracted are projected to originate outside the study area. Definition of Significance The City generally considers LOS C or better as acceptable traffic operating conditions. At the discretion of City staff, LOS D may be considered acceptable operating conditions. Traffic conditions at LOS C or better are considered a lewthan-sigWficant traffic impact. Traffic conditions resulting in LOS D or worse are considered a significant adverse traffic impact. Intersection turning movements were developed directly from the MINUIT travel demand model. The LOS was calculated at the critical intersections from the p.m. peak - M a FIGURE 9-2PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (2007) PEAK HOU TVAFFIC VOLUMES Lodi Genera( Pian qSI 67-011 n leww H hour intersection turning movements. For the Proposed GP, critical intersections were considered beyond those evaluated for existing conditions in the Proposed GP Background Report. I The projections for the Proposed GP include growth in external -external travel patterns (or through trips) at a rate of 1.52.5 percent over a 20 -year period. Growth in the external -external trips is not related to implementation of the Proposed GP and is thus considered the background cumulative traffic volume. I Acceptable Uvels of Service at Critical Intersections under Cumulative Conditions with Implementation of Future Transportation Improvements Impact. Intersection LOS for the Proposed GP under cumulative conditions is presented in Table 9-4. These intersection LOS calculations assume implementation of the Proposed GP Future Circulation Network Diagram (Figure 2-4) and the specific intersection geometries presented in Figure 9-3. All of the critical intersections are operating at LOS C or better. The Proposed GP Circulation Element provides the following policies and implementation programs that reduce the potential traffic impacts at critical intersections: 0 Policy A-2- The City shall time the construction of new development such that the time frame for completion of the needed circulation improvements will not cause the level of service goals to be exceeded. I 0 Policy A-5: The City shall review new developments for consistency with the GP Circulation Element and the capital improvement program. Those developments found to be consistent with the Circulation Element shall be required to pay their fair share of traffic impact fees and/or charges. Those developments found to be generating more traffic than that assumed in the Circulation Element shall be required to prepare a site-spe.cific traffic study and fund needed improvements not identified in the capital improvements program, in addition to paying their fair share of the traffic impact fee and/or charges. 0 Policy H-1: The City shall maintain a capital improvement program so that identified improvements are constructed in a timely manner. 0 Policy H-3: The City shall develop a traffic fee schedule to be applied to new development to pay the pro rata cost of required improvements. 0 Implementation Program 1. The City shall prepare and adopt, on an annual basis, a 5 -year capital improvements program that identifies and prioritizes future transportation improvements. 0 Implementation Program 2, as identified above. This impact is considered less than significant. Lodi General Flan FIGURE 9-3.

Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (BEYOND 2007): IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The Proposed GP Future Circulation Network Diagram also identifies; transportation improvements that will be needed to accommodate growth from development of the residential and industrial reserve areas. In some locations, LOS D has been considered acceptable traffic operating conditions. Overall, the residential reserve area will generate about 10,000 additional peak_ lour trips and the industrial reserve area will generate about 6,500 additional pear -hour trips. The Proposed GP Future Circulation Network Diagram for land use conditions beyond 2007 was presented previously in Figure 2-5. This diagram includes the improvements that would be required by 2007 with some additions. P.M. peak -hour traffic volumes beyond 2007 conditions are presented in Figure 9-4. Improvements to intersection geometrics beyond those that will be needed by 2007 are shown in Figure 9-5. The following analysis assumes that the transportation improvements identified in the Proposed GP Policy Document and citywide circulation study (Tables 9-3 and 94) and the implementation measure providing funding for required improvements are implemented beyond 2007, The methodology described for the Proposed GP (2007) applies to the Proposed GP (beyond 2007). The internal-external and external-internal travel patterns are analyzed in Table 9-2. Under the Proposed GP (beyond 2007) during the p.m. peak hour, 26 percent of the trips produced are leaving the study area, and 21 percent of the trips attracted are originating from outside the study area. 9-22 1 F1-GURE 9-4.

This impact would be identical to those occurring by 2007. This impact is considered less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required if the transportation improvements and policies of the Proposed GP related to development beyond 2007 are implemented. Other Transportation Issues 0 Impact. The impacts on and demand for non -automobile -oriented modes of transportation would probably be greater beyond 2007 than by 2007 since the demands on the roadway network would be greater. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse for the same reasons identified for the Proposed GP (2007). Mitigation Measures 0 Same as for the Proposed GP (2007). Total trip generation by alternative is presented in Table 9-7. Each scenario is divided into productions (trips generated by homes) and attractions (trips generated by commercial, industrial, and employment-related uses). The No -Project alternative produces about 25,000 peak -hour trips and attracts about 25,000 peak -hour trips. This peak -hour traffic generation represents more trips than under existing conditions but fewer trips than projected for the Proposed GP (2007). 9-26 1 Residential uses are typically trip producers and commercial, industrial and other non-residential uses are typically trip attractors.

Public Services and Facilities. Water Service The City of Lodi owns and operates the water system within the city limits. The water supply for the city is provided entirely by groundwater. Historically, the water table has been declining over time with increased development in the basin. The groundwater aquifers provide adequate water supply to the city's wells but there is some uncertainty concerning the limits on the aquifers' ability to supply adequate water for future development. Please refer to Chapter 12, "Hydrology and Water Quality," for a discussion of groundwater supply and quality issues. ISupply and Distribution Facilities The city's water supply facilities consisted of 21 wells in 1987 and currently consists of 23 wells (Figure 10-1). The City installs new wells as needed to supply water at the required pressure. As growth occurs, new wells are drilled. The City standard is approximately one well per 2,000 people (Prima pers. comm.). Most of the system's services are unmetered. Tie system consists of 2- to 14 -inch - diameter pipes. The smaller lines (2-, 3-, and 4 -inch pipes) are primarily concentrated in the older areas of the city. Water Demand The city's average daily water dernand was 13.7 MGD in 1987 and is currently 14.1 r u7ma Wastewater Service The City owns and operates the wastewater collection system within its corporate limits. It also owns the treatment facilities at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WSWPCF) located approximately 6 miles southwest of the city. mzflsm�� The wastewater collection system consists of separate domestic and industrial systems. The domestic collection system conveys all domestic and commercial flows and limited industrial flows to the WSW`PCF- The industrial collection system conveys process waste from the PCP Cannery and a few small contributors, General Mills performs some pretreatment of its own wastewater and discharges into the domestic system. 7be domestic wastewater collection system serves nearly all the developed property within the city limits. The collection system consists of approximately 155 miles of sewers ranging in size from 4 to 48 inches in diameter. The predominant line size is 6 inches in diameter. The alignments of the major trunk sewers are shown in Figure 10-2. The collection system conveys residential wastewater through a 48 -inch trunk sewer and industrial wastewater through a 33 -inch trunk to the WSWPCF. Five lift stations service outlying portions of the system where there is insufficient elevation for gravity flow. These lift stations include the Park West, Woodlake, River ate Mokelumne Village, and duff Avenue lift stations (Figure 10-2). Infiltration and inflow of extraneous water into the system appears to be minor. The groundwater table is below the entire system throughout the year so the major source of system infiltration is eliminated. Most cross connections to the storm drainage system have also been eliminated. The WS PCF has a design treatment capacity of 6.2 MGD for domestic wastewater, and the City is planning to expand it to 8.5 MGD by 1990-1991 (City of Lodi Public Works Department 1987 and Jones and Stokes Associates 1988). Assuming the flow increases 2 percent annually, the WSWPCF would have capacity for approximately the life of the 20 -year GP. Tbe next expansion in 2005/2006 would be to a capacity of 10.5 MGD (For kas and Prima pers. comms.). Flows to the treatment plant in 1987 were estimated to be 6.0 MGD, The average flow was about 131.6 gallons per capita per day (gped). In August 1987, industrial wastewater flows peaked near system capacity of 3.75 MGD (the peak canning season), but for about half the year the flows averaged less than 0.15 MGD. In recent years, the treatment plant has occasionally failed to produce an effluent quality that meets the Regional Water Quality Control Board's (RB) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. When the domestic discharge cannot meet the NPDES requirements, the effluent is diverted to pond storage and ultimately land disposal. In 1989, diversions have occurred approximately 10 percent of the time, due to excessive levels of BOD or suspended solids in the effluent. 10-2 F I E F H mmm"Mm MMOMMMMM mmmm Nam J!

SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED UNDER PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (2007) 0 $00 2400 source: alaDk ? veidph loseC �Flr 09 P Storm drainage service is provided by the City. The storm drainage system consists of a series of major trunk lines, detention basins, and pump stations (Figure 10-3). City stormwater is discharged to the Mokelumne River and the AVID Canal. Most of the drainage area slopes away from the Mokelumne River toward the southwest. A small portion of the city drainage area (approximately 1,340 acres) discharges into the Mokelumne River through gravity lines. Runoff from approximately 2,290 acres is pumped to the river. Runoff from the remaining 4,070 acres in the drainage area is pumped into the WID Canal. Because of the predominant slope to the southwest, most of the city's drainage enters the WID Canal and not the Mokelumne River. The City's agreement with WID limits the discharge rate to 80 cubic feet per second (efs). Since this discharge rate is only a small fraction of the peak storm runoff rate, the excess runoff must be temporarily stored in detention basins. These detention basins also serve as city park space. ICollection System The city's storm drainage is collected in catch basins and transported through trunk lines to pumping stations, outfalls, and detention basins. The overall condition of the underground system is very good, but there are some problems associated with substandard pipe sizes, and poor pipe construction and design of catch basins in the older parts of the city (central and eastern part of the city). The city's above -ground drainage system, including curbs, gutters, alleys, and roadside ditches, also has some problems, primarily in the older portions of the city, that restrict drainage capabilities. The City's long-range plan for drainage improvements is expected to correct existing drainage deficiencies. 0 0 10-3 IWESTGATi TRUNK LINES & OUTFALI Existing Future BASIN/PARKS Future Exist! MM Drainage Area (Approximate) A Drainage Basin 0 Pump Station w H Ul" 0 9 U 0 E H WERMOM The Lodi Police Department (Police Department) provides police protection services to all areas within the city limits. The Police Department serves a 9.4 -square -mile area with an estimated population of 45,794 in 1987. Citywide response time for emergency police service is under 3 minutes. Nonemergency response time is 10-40 minutes, depending on the nature of the call and the number of calls that require service. The Police Department has 59 sworn officers, 43 of whom are patrol officers, and 24 non -sworn positions. The Police Department has a ratio of approximately 13 officers per 1,000 population, slightly lower than the goal of 1.5 officers per 1,000 population needed to maintain adequate police protection. Fire Service The Lodi Fire Department (Fire Department) provides fire protection and emergency services for the city. Three fire stations are operated by the Fire Department. The Fire Department has 47 full-time firefighters and seven volunteers. The Fire Department prepared a Fire Station Location Master Plan in March 1987, to provide the City with information on the criteria used to determine fire station locations (City of Lodi Fire Department 1987). The existing fire stations provide adequate response time to most areas of the city, but response time to the western portion of the city are beyond recommended practice standards. A new station in the western area may be needed to serve future development. Response time consists of the following sequential components: 0 detection of the fire; 0 extinguishment The, fire department has control over its dispatching process (affecting time elapsed between alarm sounded and the "get out" time); its response time to leave the fire station, travel to the scene of the fire, and set up equipment; and portions of the time required to extinguish the fire. Emergency travel time for responding to fires is 4-5 minutes west of Lower Sacramento Road. In the remainder of the City, travel time is 3 minutes. The maximum travel time planned for in the Fire Station Location Master Plan is 3 minutes, In 1986, the Fire Department received 1,048 service calls of all types, or approximately 0.02 call per capita. Insufficient water pressure for fire fighting is a problem in some areas of the city. As part of new development or the water capital improvement program, system upgrades are accomplished to meet pressure standards. Despite this effort, however, inadequate water system pressures still exist in some areas of the city (Forkas pers. comm). Schools The following information was obtained from representatives of the Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) (Starr, Hand, Keenan, and Tarnasky, pers. comms.), the draft LUSD Capital Improvement Plan (Lodi Unified School District 1988), the LUSD Capital Improvement Plan 2000 (Lodi Unified School District 1989), and the Proposed GP Options Assessment Report (Jones & Stokes Associates 1989). The LUSD serves the City of Lodi, north Stockton, and unincorporated portions of northern San Joaquin County. As of April 1987, the LUSD operated 14 schools in Lodi, excluding Woodbridge Middle School and administrative and support facilities (Figure 10-4). Facilities include seven elementary schools (grades K-6), two middle schools (grades 7-8), two high schools (grades 9-12), one continuation high school (grades 9-12), an adult education center, and a vocational training center. Since 1987, one middle school (Needham Middle School) has been converted for use as a facility to house LUSD programs. Beckman Elementary is scheduled to open in south Lodi in 1990 (Figure 104), This new elementary school, planned conversions at two existing schools, and implementation of year-round schedules are expected to increase the student capacity of permanent facilities in all Lodi public schools (excluding portable units) to approximately 15,800 (Hand pers. comm.). Additional capacity would be provided through major additions planned at Lodi High School and Senior Elementary Middle School (Lodi Unified School District 1989). Portable classroom units used by the LUSD are considered to be temporary facilities and are not included in school capacity estimates. The LUSD Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) calls for construction of two additional elementary schools (Parkwest and Lobaugh/Century) and one new middle school (Millswood) within the Lodi GP area by 2010 (Figure 10-4). Both elementary schools will be designed to house 850 students on a year-round basis, while Millswood Middle School would house approximately 1,100 students. Elementary school construction starting and completion dates will depend on the extent and timing of future residential development and funding availability. Millswood Middle School is scheduled to open in 1993. (Lodi Unified School District 1989.) Until Lobaugh/Century Elementary is completed, Nichols Elementary and Beckman Elementary are expected to house students from future development south of Kettleman im )FISTING 1 Lodi High School 2 Tokay nigh School 3 Liberty nigh School 4 Senior Elementary Middle School 5 Needham Diddle School 6 Woodbridge Middle School 7 Reese Elementary School (K-6) 6 Washington Elementary School and Developmental Center for the handicapped API'TAL IMPI�C+VEME�I7` PI�QCRAM A Backman Elementary School S Parkwest Elementary School 9 Heritage Elementary School (K-6) 10 Lakewood Elementary School (K-6) 11 Lawrence/ Children* s Center (K-6) 12 Nichols Elementary School (K-9) 13 Vinewood Elementary School (K-6) 14 Adult Education 15 Career Center C Lobaugh/Century Elementary School D Millswood Middle School Lodi General PIS FIGURE 10-4.

The LUSD plans to update the CIP and clarify the number and planned location of future facilities based on adoption of "definitive" Lodi GP land use designations and policies. For example, the district foresees a possible future need for a new elementary school in the Woodbridge area depending on the rate of housing development, which could be influenced by development restrictions in Lodi. (Lodi Unified School District 1989,) Enrollment Growth and Overcrowding LUSD facilities are overcrowded as a result of population and enrollment growth, particularly in areas of north Stockton served by the district. Districtwide enrollment has been increasing at more than 5 percent, approximately 1,000 students per year. (Jones & Stokes Assoc0tes 1988, Lodi Unified School District 1988.) The CIP is based on enrollment projections which assume that the number of occupied housing units in Lodi will increase at a compounded average annual rate of 2 percent from 1986 to 2010. The LUSD projects that Lodi area K-6 enrollment will increase from 4,375 (1986) to 8,643 (2010), at a compounded average annual rate of 2.9 percent; middle school enrollment will increase from 1,080 to 2,495 at 3.6 percent; and high school enrollment will increase from 2,386 to 4,935 at 3.1 percent. To accommodate increasing enrollment and alleviate problems caused by overcrowding, the LUSD has resorted to use of portable classrooms, year-round schedules, student transfers, and busing. In 1988, the LUSD established a policy under which existing schools would be converted to year-round schedules and all future school would be operated on a year-round basis to maximize their effective capacity. Year-round scheduling is expected to increase the capacity of LUSD elementary schools to approximately 830, middle schools to 1,200, and bigb schools to 2,800. As additional facilities are built in north Stockton, transfers and busing are expected to decrease. A new middle school (Delta Sierra) opened in north Stockton in 1988 and a new high school (Bear Creek) is expected to open by 1993 (Hand pers. comm.). School Financing The LUSD depends primarily on the state school building program and assessment of local impaction fees to finance the development of new facilities. The LUSD has IM submitted or plans to submit funding applications for all proposed and eligible facilities to the State Allocation Board. Due to the chronic shortage of state funds for school construction projects and the district's continuing dependence on this funding source, the CIP assumes the LUSD must generate additional revenues for capital improvements from local or alternate sources to meet future needs (Lodi Unified School District 1989). School Impaction Fees, Since March 1987, the LUSD has assessed maximum allowable school impaction fees on new development, as authorized by AB 2926. However, fees assessed under this legislation are generally inadequate to provide needed facilities. Local jurisdictions retain the authority to impose additional mitigation measures under project review policies and standards independent of the CEOA process. Local Financing Alternatives. Due to pressing school housing needs and state funding constraints, the LUSD considered various supplementary methods of financing capital improvements. In September 1989, a ballot measure that would have established a community facility (Mello -Roos) district to provide local funding for school construction and improvement projects from assessments on property owners was submitted to district voters. This measure was supported by a majority of voters, but failed to obtain two-thirds approval required for passage. City library service is provided by the Lodi Public Library, located at 201 West Locust Street. In 1986, the library had approximately 114,000 volumes and a circulation of 334,370 volumes, The library was approximately 30,750 square feet. In 1986, this facility was considered more than adequate to serve the community (Andrade pers. comm.). Park Facilities and Programs Ile city parks and recreation programs are operated by the Lodi Parks and Recreation Department (Parks Department). The City operates 21 standard park facilities. Standard park space combined with detention basin parks and school playfield park acreage comprise the city's 367.9 acres of parkland (Table 10-1 and Figure 10-5). ne Parks Department sponsors a variety of recreation programs, including: 0 youth baseball leagues, 0 idult softball leagues, 0 youth and adult basketball leagues, 0 youth soccer leagues, 0 youth football leagues, I= Flap Number Park 1 Armory Park 2 Blakely Park Table 1D-1.

EXISTING PARKS IN LORI (INCLUDING DETENTION BASIN AND SCHOOL PARKS) Source: romptlud by City of Lodi Parka and Recreation Deparimont $tali, June 1986 Lodi General Plan it 0 BOO 2400 FEET va.nous classes and sorts lessons a p , and o youth camps. The Parks Department's budget in 1957 was $900,000 for park operation and maintenance, and $500,000 for recreation programs. Diaster storm drainage fees are used to provide turfed; irrigated areas. Through this program, neva park space is designed to serve as storm drainage detention basins during the winter. There are currently seven detention basin parks in the city: Salas Park, Beckman Park, Kofu Park, Vinewood Park, Henry GIaves Park, Westgate Park, and Cpl Basin (Robison Pers, comm.). Park Standards The current City parkland ratio, including standard developed parks (neighborbo-r- and community 'Parks). basin parks, and school Parks is approximately 8.0 acres per 1,0 population. TheparkJand ratioif'`Y parks, excluding basin 1 school I. 1,000 population. Sanitary City Disposal, a private company, is under contract to the City to provide refuse collection. services. An estimated 58,300tans of solid waste was generated in the city in 1987 (based on 55,000 toms generated in 1955 and a 3.0 percent growth rate) (Perez pers. comm.). The city solid waste is currently hauled to the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill, located near the intersection of Homey Lane and Jacktone (toad. The landfill is owned and operated by San Joaquin County and is a Mass II facility, meaning that the landfill allows disposal of municipal solid waste. ne landfill is near capacity and County staff estimate that the landfill will chase between December 1990 and June 1991 (Horton pens. comm.). 'nature landfill capacity would be provided by the forth County Sanitary Landfill located on Harney Lane approximately L5 miles east of the existing landfill. The new landfill is expected to be operational by March 1991 and would provide 36-50 years of landfill capacity (Horton pegs, comm,). Natural Gas Service Natural gas service for the city is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). Natural gas is piped from gas fields in Tracy and Rio Vista. In 1987, the total natural gas usage for the city was 3,438,698 cubic feet (CF). PG&E has indicated that no problems exist in providiexisting city natural gas service (�lichaeloff pers. comm.). 11 'Electric Service Electricity is provided to the city by Lodi's Electric Utilities Department. The City is a member of the Northern Californi.4 fower Agency (DCPA), along with 10 other cities including: Roseville, Ukiah, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, Alameda, Healdsburg, Lompoc, Redding, Biggs, and Gridley. The NCP A develops approximately 75 percent of its own energy needs, with the remaining 25 percent purchased from PG&E and other utilities. Electricity demand has increased by approximately 3.0 percent in recent years. In 1986, total city electrical use was 279 million kilowatt (kW) hours. The maximum demand load for the system was 79.6 megawatt (for 0.5 hour in July). The city currently has no problems meeting electrical service demands. The largest electricity users in the city are General Mills, the LUSD, City of Lodi facilities, PCP Cannery, Interlake Manufacturers, Holtz Rubber, Lodi Iron Works and Valley Industries (Hansen pers. comm.). 'ne Electric Utilities Department plans to construct an additional substation, in the eastern portion of the city to serve industrial users (Hansen pers. comm.). Telephone service in Lodi is provided by Pacific Bell. Pacific Bell requires the developer to finance line extension within a development. Pacific Bell has no problems serving the city. Western Union has two offices in the city at 600 South Central Avenue and the Lodi Bus Station, located at 210 East Pine Street. King Video Cable provides cable television service to the city. ZFVIEJ�Z Lodi Memorial. Hospital is one of two hospitals serving the city. In 1987, the hospital had 99.beds and a 63-.perce.nt utilization rate. No structural expansion of the hospital is planned except for a medical office building (Waters pers. comm.). Doctors Hospital of Lodialso serves the city and had a 35 -percent utilization rate and 93 beds in 1987. Both hospitals have relatively low utilization rates (49 percent combined). This means that, on the average, only half of the available beds are actually in use. 10-14 Ambulance Services Lodi Ambulance, operating under Life Medical Industry, Inc., services north San Joaquin County. Three ambulances are available for response. Under normal circumstances these ambulances provide adequate service to meet city demand. The ambulance service has two stations and presently has no plans for a third station (Nilssen pers. comm.). The Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element includes the following policies and implementation programs that provide a mechanism for updating the Water Master Plan and for identifying and financing required facility improvements, thereby reducing this impact to less than significant: 0 Policy J-1: The City shall develop new facilities as necessary, to serve new development in accordance with the City's Water, Sewer, and Drainage Master Plans. 0 Policy J-2: The City shall assess water, sewer, and drainage development fees on all new residential, commercial, office, and industrial development sufficient to fund required systemwide improvements. 0 Implementation Program 12, The City shall prepare and adopt, on an annual basis, a 5 -year capital it program that identifies and sets priorities for water, sewer, and drainage improvements. 0 Implementation Program 13- The City shall prepare and periodically update a Water Master Plan which identifies new facilities and improvements needed Ito adequately meet future water demand.

Wastewater Service Generation of 1.8 MGD of Additional Wastewater to Be Accommodated by Additional Wastewater Collection Facilities and Treatment Plant Capacity Impact. Development under the Proposed GP would generate about 2.8 MGD of additional wastewater (Table 10-3) requiring expansion of the current 6.2 -MGD treatment plant and installation of collection lines. The City is currently expanding the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility to a capacity of 8.5 MM This expansion is expected to provide adequate wastewater treatment capability until at least 2000 (Prima pers. comm.). The next plant expansion would be to 10-5 MGD. Figure 10-2 shows the location of required collection lines that are 12 inches and larger in diameteT. Major sewer line and pump station improvements would accommodate additional flows from planned residential development in the western portion of the GP area. In the Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element, the following policies and implementation programs provide a mechanism for updating the Sewer Master Plan and for identifying and financing required facility improvements, which would reduce this impact to less than significant: 0 Policies J-1 and J-2 and Implementation Programs 12 and 16, as identified above. 0 implementation Program 14: The City shall prepare and periodically update a Sewer Master Plan which identifies new facilities and improvements needed to adequately meet future sewer collection and treatment demands.

Iiii ill 111 11 1 1 11 Impact. Development under the Proposed GP would increase stormwater runoff, requiring additional detention basin storage capacity and drainage infrastructure. About 97 acres of detention basins (to be used jointly as parks) would be required to provide adequate storm ter storage during a 100 -year storm (Prima pers. comm.). The Proposed OP Land Use Diagram designates planned detention basin sites. As indicated in Appendix A of the Proposed GP Policy Document, the acreage required for potential sites has been included in the buildout calculations. Actual design of detention basins would be determined during the development process. The required detention basins and collection system infrastructure are shown in Figure 10-3. The Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element includes the following policies and implementation programs that provide a mechanism for updating the Drainage Master Plan and for identifying and financing required facility improvements. 0 Policies J-1 and J-2 and Implementation Programs 12 and 16, as identified : I above. 0 Implementation Program 15: The City shall prepare and periodically update a Drainage Master Plan which identifies new facilities and improvements needed to adequately accommodate runoff from existing and projected IN development and to prevent property damage due to flooding. The Proposed GP Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element also includes one policy related to detention basins - Policy A-3: The City shall continue the joint development of parks and drainage detention basins. The Proposed GP Health and Safety Element identifies the following relevant policies and implementation programs: 0 Policy A-2. The City shall ensure that storm drainage facilities are constructed to serve new development adequate to store runoff generated by a 100 -year storm. 0 Policy A-3: The City shall ensure that storm drainage facilities are provided for all new development to make certain that all surface runoff generated by the development is adequately handled. IThis impact is considered to be less than significant. d 10-19 Mitigation Measures r None are required. Increased Demand for Police Protection to Be Accommodated by Adding About 33 Sworn Impact. The projected 2007 population under the Proposed GP is 25,1.97. This population increase would require about 33 additional sworn officers to maintain the existing Lodi Police Department officer -to -population ratio of 1.3 sworn officers per 1,000 population. If the police department's goal of 1.5 officers per 1,000 population is applied to this population growth, about 38 officers would be required at buildout in 2007. In addition, patrol officers would require a substantial amount of new equipment, including patrol vehicles and ether support equipment. additional police facilities may also be needed. The number of crime -related calls received by the city police department is likely to increase with implementation of the Proposed GP. Proposed development areas that are located on the urban fringe could increase the emergency and nonemergencyresponse tunes for patrols. Annexing. those portions of the GP area currently served by the San Joaquin County Sheriffs Department could reduce the demand for services provided by the sheriffs department. The Proposed GP Health and Safety Element identifies the following policies and implementation program that are intended to prevent cringe, promote the personal security of city resident; and provide a mechanism for identifying and financing required capital improvements and equipment, thereby reducing this impact to less than significant: o Policy -1: The City shall promote the installation of security equipment aimed at crime prevention in new development, 0 Policy D-2: The City shall continue to provide rd security and crime prevention information and training to neighborhoodgroupss homeowner's associations. 0 Policy -3. The City shall encourage developers to incorporate site planning and structural design features that deter crime in new development. 0 Policy D-4: The Lodi Police Department shall continue to participate in the development review process to ensure that crime prevention considerations are incorporated into the design of new development. 10-20 0 Policy D-5: Tle City shall endeavor through adequate staffing and patrol arrangements to maintain the minimum feasible police response times for police calls. `be goal for average response time for emergency calls sball be 3 minutes and no longer than 40 minutes for nonemergency calls. 0 Policy D-6: The City shall endeavor to maintain the existing staff ratio of 1.3 officers per 1,000 population. The City shall translate this ratio to dwelling unit equivalents to correspond to the City's fee ordinance. 0 Policy D-7: 'ne City shall assess development fees on all new residential, commercial, office, and industrial development sufficient to fund capital improvements and equipment required to provide police protection. 0 Implementation Program 6: The City shall adopt and periodically review a fee ordinance to provide funding for capital improvements and equipment for fire and police protection, and revise it as necessary. Mitigation Measures Increased Demand.for Fire Protection to Be Accommodated by Adding Fireflghters and Associated Equipment and Fa cilities Impact. The level of development provided for by the Proposed GP would require hiring additional firefighters to maintain the existing level of service. A substantial amount of firefighting equipment and possibly fire suppression vehicles could be required to adequately deploy firefighters. Ile fire: department has also identified the future need for a fire station to serve the western portion of the city. A station in this area would reduce emergency travel time in the western portion of the city, an area that has previously been identified as beyond the recommended practice standards. The Proposed . GP's designation of planned residential areas along the western city boundary would further increase the need for a staffed fire station,in this area. The development allowed under the Proposed GP could generate up to 500 additional service calls per day by 2007. This estimate is based on the 1986 rate of 0.02 service calls per capita and a projected population increase of 25,197 by 2007. About 25 percent of the service calls received by the Lodi Fire Department in 1986 were to respond to residential and nonresidential fires, vehicle fires, rubbish fires, grass and brush fires, and requests for mutual aid assistance. The rest of the calls were for emergency medical services, hazardous conditions, false alarms, and nonemergency reasons. Based on this service -call ratio, development under the Proposed GP could generate about 125 fire - related and 375 other calls per year at buildout. 10-21 The Proposed GP Health and Safety Element identifies the following policies and implementation program that are intended to prevent loss of life, injury, and property damage from fires and to provide a mechanism for identifying and financing required fire fighting staff, equipment, and facilities: 0 Policy C-1: Ile City shall promote the installation of automatic interior sprinkler systems in all new developments. 0 Policy C-4: The City Fire Department shall maintain a regular program of fire inspection for commercial and industrial buildings. 0 Policy C-5: The City shall ensure, in approving private streets and access areas, that they are adequate in terms of width and turning radius to facilitate access by City fire fighting apparatus. All plans for such streets shall be reviewed by the Fire Department to ensure these standards are met. 0 Policy C-6. The City shall endeavor to at least maintain the existing overall fire insurance (ISO) rating of three. 0 Policy C-7- The City shall endeavor through adequate staffing and station locations to maintain the minimum feasible response time for fire and emergency calls. Ile goal for average response time for emergency calls shall be 4 minutes. As areas are developed beyond the 4 -minute standard, additional fire stations, capital equipment, and personnel shall be provided or alternative fire protection measures shall be required. 0 Policy C-8- The City shall endeavor to maintain the existing staff ratio of one fire fighter per 1,000 population. The city shall translate this ratio to dwelling unit equivalents to correspond to the City's fee ordinance. o Policy C-9: The City shall attempt to offset the need for new fire department staff and equipment and to improve fire safety by promoting installation of built-in fire protection equipment in all new development. 0 Policy C-10: The City shall assess development fees on all new residential, commercial, office, and industrial development sufficient to fund capital improvements and equipment required to provide fire protection. 0 Implementation Program 6: The City shall adopt and periodically review a fee ordinance to provide funding for capital improvements and equipment for fire and police protection, and revise it as necessary. The Lodi Fire Chief has noted that Policy C-7 should be revised to reflect a goal of a 3 -minute travel time consistent with the Fire Station Location Master Plan. Also, the fire chief has stated that a ratio of one firefighter per 1,000 population is not an appropriate standard for determining staff levels. Since these policies would not provide an optimum level of fire protection, this impact is considered significantly adverse. 10-22 0 The City should revise Policy C-7 to reflect a goal for a 3 -minute travel time consistent with the Fire Station Location Master Plan. The City should revise Policy C-8 to real? The City shall endeavor to maintain a firefighting staff level consistent with the provision of 3 -person engine companies and a 3 -minute emergency travel time. Implementation of both measures would be required to reduce this impact to less Haan significant. Provision of Adequate Fire Flow Capability in Newly Developed Areas and Possible Correction of Existing Fire Flow Deficiencies impact. Development under the Proposed GP could exacerbate existing fire flow deficiencies in developed areas of the. city where future infill development is proposed. The Proposed GP Health and Safety Element requires that these areas be monitored and that improvement of fire flows be a high priority: o Policy C-3: The City shall monitor fire flow capability throughout tho City and. set a high priority on improving fire flow in those areas where fire flow is not adequate. The Proposed GP also requires that new areas comply with current fire Dow standards: 0 Policy C-2: The City shall require new development to comply with minimum fire flow rates determined jointly by the City Fire Department and Public Works Department. Providing adequate fire flow protection would involve sizing new water lines and upgrading existing water lines so that adequate water -pressure and water -delivery capabilities are maintained. Fire hydrants should be equipped with one 2.5 -inch outlet, one 4.5-ineb outlet, and adequate main control valves. (See "Water Service" above.) This impact is considered to be less than significant. 0 None are required. MR Establishment. of Mechanisms to Facilitate City Support in Providing New Schools for 7,000 Students Impact. As shown in Table 10-4, projected development within the GP area from 1987 to 2007 would increase LUSD enrollment by almost 7,500. Lodi schools are presently overcrowded and require the use of portable classroom and extended school schedules. The LUSD face funding constraints and delays in its efforts to adequately house its existing students in permanent facilities. The LUSD must secure increased local funding to meet existing deficiencies and provide additional facilities required by future enrollment. An enrollment increase of this magnitude could substantially exacerbate school housing problems. 'ne following policies from the Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element would reduce this impact, but not to a less -than -significant level: o Policy ®1: The City shall assist the LUSD in designating and reserving or acquiring appropriate sites for new schools and support facilities to accommodate growth, in conjunction with City land use planning and consistent with LUSD planning objectives. Future sites shall be identified on the GP Land Use Diagram and updated, as needed. o Policy 1®2s Before approving new residential development, the City shall require that the feasibility of providing adequate school facilities in a timely manner is established. o Policy 1-4: The City shall condition approvals of residential projects with the stipulation that applicants and their successors in interest coordinate building construction and occupancy with the LUSD so as to prevent or minimize overcrowding. o Policy 1-5. Except as otherwise provided by law, the City shall condition approval of development projects on the availability of adequate financing for the construction of adequate facilities. o Policy 1-6k The City shall require that new development, along with the State of California and other available sources, provide the necessary funding to meet the demand for new school facilities in a timely manner. Implementation of these policies would not adequately mitigate the adverse effects of increased enrollment generated by housing development projects that have been approved by the City since 1987 or are otherwise exempt from application of these policies. Therefore, this impact is considered significantly adverse. 10-24 I'll, uagmi-2 mpnis 49 po!jdpjn-!q!un paid—O (o) -(.tUM03 .5.1od 11143) Juomuu&cl 2umueld f4!p2,ud.GSfj-j Xq popl-oid -wj uopuiz-18 j-pmS �q) *fqstiop qdjq s! 3—mad g p— '4—p wngpow s!

As shown in Table 10-5, the increased enrollment generated by projected development within the GP area would require construction of at least five new schools (three elementary schools and two middle schools) that are not specified in the L.USD capital improvement plant to 2010 (Lodi Unified School District 1989, Starr pens. comm.) (Figure 10-6). These required schools are in addition to those shown in Figure 10-4. Seven additional schools (including a fourth elementary school and a high school) could ultimately be required based on the facility need estimates in 'Table 10-5 (riot reflected in Figure 10- 6). The following policies from the Proposed GP Leland Use and Growth Management Element would reduce this impact, but not to a less -than -significant level: a Policies H-1, 1-2,14, I-5, and 1-6, as identified above. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. o The LUSD should modify its current capital improvement plan (Lodi Unified School District 1989) to be consistent with the Proposed GP growth projections to 2007, and shall fully implement the revised plan to provide for .new schools and: ether measures that would increase the capacity of school facilities as needed; and o The City should support. all necessary and reasonable efforts by the L,USD to obtain the funding for planned capital improvements, including adoption and implementation of local financing mechanisms, such as community facility (Nelle -Rots) districts. 0 Table 10-5.

Additions of interim (portable) facilities Are not included, (c) Projected number of new sites required, plus existing facility deficit, plus (or minus) not Planned facility capacity changes. 10-26 Implementation of both of these measures would be needed to reduce this impact to less than significant. Library Service Increased Demand for Library Services to Be Accommodated by Additional Library Facilities Impact® The Lodi Public Library staff has identified the need for about 10,000 square feet of library space to adequately serve the projected population under the Proposed OP. The Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element suggests clustering public uses, including library facilities; it does not directly address the provision of library facilities: 0 Policy H-1: The City shall promote the clustering of public and quasi -public uses such as schools, parks, libraries, child care facilities, and community activity centers. Joint use of public facilities shall be promoted, and agreements for sharing costs and operational responsibilities among public service providers shall be encouraged. The fee ordinance provided for by the Proposed GP Policy Document will be proposed to include the financing of required library facilities. Therefore, this impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. Parks and Recreation Demand for 201 Additional Acres of Standard Neighborhood and Community Developed Parkland, Including: School Parksund Detention Basin Parks Impact. The City has identified a priority to provide future park space of all types that would maintain the existing parkland ratios. Based on the current city parkland -to - population ratio of 8.0 acres per 1,000 population, including both standard parks and school and detention basin parks, implementation of the Proposed GP would create a demand for about 202 acres of additional. developed neighborhood and community park space. Based on the city's current parkland -to -population ratio of 3.9 acres per 1,000 population, excluding school and detention basin parks, implementation of the Proposed GP would create a demand for about 98 additional acres of developed park space by 2007. The ratio of 8.0 acres per 1,000 population is higher than the standard ratio used by many communities of 5.0 acres of neighborhood and community parkland per 1,000 population. 1 10-27 The Proposed GP Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element identifies the city's standards for parkland development as follows: 0 Policy A-1: The City shall establish a standard of 10.0 acres of neighborhood and community parkland per 1,000 population, including school parks and storm drainage detention basin parks, and 4.2 acres of neighborhood and community parkland per 1,000 population, excluding school parks and storm drainage detention basin parks. T72e City shall translate this ratio to dwelling unit equivalents to correspond to the City's fee ordinance. Using these standards, development under the Proposed GP would require about 252 and 106 additional acres of parkland. Therefore, the Proposed GP would provide more parkland than would be required to maintain the existing parkland -to -population ratio. The following policies and implementation programs from the Proposed GP Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element are intended to meet the parks and recreation needs of the residents of Lodi and to provide a mechanism for identifying and financing required park facilities: Policy A-2: The City shall assess a park development fee on all new residential, commercial, office, and industrial development sufficient to fund the acquisition and development of new parkland consistent with the City standards identified in the policy above [Policy A-1]. o Policy A-3: The City shall continue the joint development of parks and drainage detention basins. 0 Policy A4: The City shall continue the joint use of school facilities and grounds as parkland and shall work toward maintenance needs and concerns through administrative policies and agreements. 0 Policy A-5: The City shall develop parks that can be used on a year-round basis, and which are not jointly used as drainage detention basins. 0 Implementation Program 1: The City shall prepare and periodically update a Parks Master Plan identifying goals, policies, and standard for the improvement of existing parks and development of future parks. 0 Implementation Program 2: no City shall adopt and periodically review a fee ordinance for park acquisition and development, and revise it as necessary. Because Policy A-1 would require that more park acreage be allocated than would be required to maintain the existing parkland -to -population ratio, this impact is considered to be significantly adverse. 10-28 I I U H H H H, J Mitigation Measures The City should revise Policy A-1 of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element as follows: The City shall establish a standard of 8.0 acres of neighborhood and community parkland per 1,000 population, including school parks and storm drainage detention basin parks and 3.9 acres of neighborhood and commun4 parkland per 1,000 population, excluding school parks and storm drainage detention basin parks. The City shall translate this ratio to dwelling unit equivalents to correspond to the City's fee ordinance. Implementation of this measure would reduce this significant adverse impact to a less -than -significant level. Impact. The Projected population increase under the Proposed GP could increase the demand for city -sponsored recreation programs. The City has identified the need for expanded recreational opportunities, including group- and leisure service-oriented programs, such as senior citizens activities. Although no data on the projected demand for recreational programs are available, an increased population of over 25,000 residents would likely create a substantial increase in service demand over the next 20 years. The policies of the Proposed GP Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element place a priority on public and private recreation programs and facilities: 0 Policy B-1. The City shall develop and maintain a balanced recreation program that addresses the diverse needs of the various age and interest groups in Lodi. 0 Policy B-2, The City shall plan recreation programs and facilities that promote the active or passive involvement of all affected residents, including those with special needs, such as the physically disabled and the elderly. 0 Policy B-3: The City shall continue cooperative agreements with the LUST} for the use of school facilities for City -sponsored recreation programs and allow school use of City properties and facilities through use agreements. 0 Policy B-4: The City should periodically survey community attitudes and preferences for recreational programs. 0 Policy B-5: The City should collect and annually update statistics on participation in various City recreation programs and use of City recreation facilities. 10-29 o Policy B-6: The City shall keep the public informed as to program services and events through sound marketing and public information efforts. 0 Policy C -Ie Tle City small promote the provision of private open space and recreational facilities as part of new large-scale residential developments to meet a portion of the recreation and open space needs that would be generated by the development. a Policy C-2: The City shall support the expansion of private commercial recreational facilities and encourage joint use of public program in such facilities by either party. `I'bese policies fail to identify a priority for providing City revenue for recreation programs or for setting user fees at a level that would provide adequate financing for future recreation programs. Therefore, the increased demand that would be created by the Proposed GP is considered a significant adverse impact. Mitigation Measures o The City should include a policy in the Proposed GP that provides a mechaaisrn for providing additional general fund revenues and user fees for recreation programs at a level that is determined by the Parks baster flan to be appropriate for expansion of recreation programs in the City. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to a less -than -significant level. Minor Increase in Use of Adjacent County Parks Impact; Implementation of the Proposed GP could increase the demand for two county parks located in Woodbridge since these parks are located immediately adjacent to the CSP area. "his impact is considered less than significant since the City has identified parkland standards and financing mechanisms in the Proposed GP which would provide additional park space for future residents. Any increase in use of county parks would likely be minor since the future proposed City park space would adequately maintain the existing parkland -to -population ratio. 0 None are required. 0 0 Solid "waste Generation of 32,756 Tons of Solid Waste per Year Accommodated by Planned Landfill Capacity impact.. Implementation of the Proposed CSP would result in additional demand for capacity at the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill. Based on ars estimate of 55,000 torts of solid waste generated by the city in 1985, and a minimum increase per year of 3 percent, solid waste generated by the city in 1987 is estimated to be 58,350 torts. This amounts to approximately 1.3 tops per capita per year based can the city population of 45,794 in 1987. This generation rate represents an aggregate average per capita for all sources contributing to the city's waste generation, Based on this rate, the additional population generated by the Proposed GP would generate 32,756 tons per year of solid waste in 2007. This increase in solid waste would exceed the remaining capacity in the Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill, but could be accommodated in the North County Sanitary Landfill which is expected to be operational by March 1991 (Horton pers. comm.). Therefore, this impact is less than significant. Mitigation Measures o None are required. Natural Gas Service impact. The level of development provided for by the Proposed GP would generate a substantial demand for natural -ga5 service, The annual gas consumption associated with buildout of the Proposed CP would be 1,889,775 CF, based on an estimate of approximately 75 CF per capita, per year and a buildout population of 25,197. This rate is based on 3,438,696 CE of natural gas consumed in 1987 and a city population of 45,794. PG&E has indicated that natural gas supply is expected to be adequate to serve the level of development proposed under the Proposed GP. (Michaeloff pers. corrin.) Extension of gas supply mains may be necessary for development planned in the southern and eastern portions of the GP area. This impact is considered less than significant. Mitigation Measures o None are required. 10-31 Electric Service Demand for Additional Electric Service to Be Accommodated by Development of a Substation or Expansion of Substation Capacity Impact. Ile level of development provided for by the Proposed GP would generate a substantial demand for electrical services. The Proposed GP would generate a demand for approximately 158 million kW hours of electricity per year at buildout or 0 .006 million kW hours per capita per year based on an estimated city electricity use in 1.987 of approximately 287 million kW hours. The development projected for the Proposed GP would also substantially increase the peak demand load that would be placed on PG&E facilities. The city's electrical demand projections for 2007 identify a potential need for approximately 157 megawatts of capacity that could be used to provide electrical service during peak periods. The additional electricity consumption would require development of a substation or expanded substation capacity in the eastern and western portions of the city at buildout (Hansen pers. comm,). The City anticipates no problems meeting future electricity demands (Hansen pers. comm.). This impact is considered less than significant. =1 = 0 None are required. Communications Service Demand forAdditional Communications Services to Be Accommodated by User Fees Impact. The level of development provided for by the Proposed GP would create substantial demand for telephone, newspaper, western union, and cable television service. Since these services are financed by user fees and finance charges, the growth projected by the Proposed GP would have little effect on service provision. Telephone line extension costs would be financed by developers. This service demand is considered a less -than - significant impact. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. 10-32 I H Medical Service Demand for Additional Medical Services, Ambulance Service, and Aospital Space to Ire Accommodated Impact. The population growth projected by the Proposed Gl? would increase the demand for medical services, personnel, and hospital space at existing hospitals. Doctors Hospital of Lodi and Lodi Memorial Hospital staff have indicated that considerable remaining capacity exists at Lodi hospitals and that staff and services could be expanded as needed. The demand for ambulance services would probably increase substantially. Expansion of ambulance services would be provided by user fees. This impact is less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required, Water Service Demand For an Additional 15.8 MGD of Potable Water to Be Accommodated by 27 New Wells Impact. Water demand would be 102 percent greater than under the Proposed GP (2007), and would squire 27 new wells (Figure 10-7). The impact would be considered less than significant if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. 10-33 Wastewater Service Generation of 5.6 MGD of Ndditiona.1 Wastewater to Be Accommodated by Additional Wastewater Collection Facilities and Treatment Plant Capacity impact® The development that would be allowed under the Proposed GP (beyond 2007) would increase total treatment plant capacity needs to approximately 11.6 MGD and increase the need for collection lines (Figure 10-8). Planned expansion of the treatment plant capacity is for 10.5 MGIC (Prima pers. coram.). This long -terra demand for treatment plant facilities could be reduced if the Proposed GP policies for financing wastewater improvements are implemented beyond 2007. Therefore, this impact is considered less than significant. 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Stora Drainage Impact. Approximately 32 percent more land would need to be developed as detention bas rls than under the Proposed GP (2007) (Figure 10-9). This impact is considered less than significant. Mitigation easures c None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Increased Demand ;o. Police Protection to He Accommodated by AddingSworn Officers and Associated Equipment Impact. The required number of sworn police officers would be 97 percent higher than under tbe:Prop ased CSP (2007). A. commensurate increase in facilities would also likely be needed. This impact is considered less than significant. o None are required if the policies of the Proposed CSP are implemented beyond 2007. 10-34 owl mom BE mom OEM ME mm mom mot NMI Mol @NO mot 0111 NMI 1MM mom END 0110 LEGEND 0 Existing Well Future Well --v, Future 10 -Inch Pipe Now Approximate location®.

Adding Firerighters and Associated Equi pment and Facilities Impact. The required number of firefighters would be greater than under the Proposed GP (2007) This increase in staff could also require considerable expansion of existing fire station facilities and development of an additional fire station in the western portion and in the southern portion of the GP area. Actual locations of additional stations would need to be addressed in future Fire Station Location Master Plans. This impact is considered significantly adverse for the same reasons cited for the Proposed GP (2007). 0 Same as or the Proposed r .. Implementation of bath measures would be required to reduce this impact to less than significant. Provision of Adequate Fire Flow Capability in Newly Developed Areas and Possible Correction aFire Flow . Impact. Development of the reserve areas would require water systems to meet fare flaw standards, Impacts on areas that currently have deficient fire flows could be greater under this scenario due to the greater level of development. This impact could be reduced to a less than -significant level y implementing the Proposed LSP policies beyond 2007. Mitigation Measures o None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Schools Ustablishment of Mechanisms to Facilitate City Support in Providing New Schools for 14�200Students Impact. As shown in Table 10-4, projected development of the reserve areas beyond 2007 would increase LUSenrollment by over 7,200; this increase represents a 97 -percent increase in the projected 2007 enrollme ntlevel. Because of school overcrowding and the anticipated difficulty cif bu.11din needed facilities by 2007, an enrollment increase of this magnitude beyond 2007 could substantially exacerbate future school housing problems. This is considered a significant adverse impact. 10-36 Mitigation Measures o The LUSD shall modify its current capital improvement plan (Lodi Unified School District 1989) to be consistent with updated Lodi GF growth projections beyond 2007, and shall fully implement the .revised plan to provide for new schools and other measures that would increase the capacity of school facilities as needed, and o The City shall support all necessary and reasonable efforts by the LUSD to obtain the funding for plan med capital improvements, including adoption and implementation of local financing mechanisms, such as community facility (Dello -Roos) districts. implementation of both measures would be required to reduce this impact to less than significant. INeed for 12 to 16 New Schools Not Currently Planned for by the LUSD 0 Impact. Development of the reserve areas beyond 2007 would require construction of seven to nine new schools (sever elementary schools and possibly one middle school and one high school) that are not specified in the LUSD capital improvement pian to 2010, as shown in Figure 10-10 (Udi Unified School District 1989, Starr pens. comm.). This impact is considered significantly adverse. o The LUSD shall modify its current capital improvement plan (Lodi Unified School District 1989) to be consistent with updated Lodi GP growth projections beyond 2007, and shall fully implement the revised plan to provide for new schools and ether measures that would increase the capacity of school facilities as needed; and o The City shall support all necessary and reasonable efforts by the LUSD to obtain the funding for planned capital improvements, including adoption and implementation of local financing mechanisms, such as community facility (.Mello -,Roos) districts, Implementation of botb of these measures would be required to reduce this impact to less than si nibcant. 10®3i 0 Library Service I Increased Demand for Library Services to Be Accommodated by Additional Library Facilities Impact. The Lodi Public Library staff has identified a need for approximately 10,000 square feet of library space to adequately serve the projected population under this scenario. This need is identical to that identified to serve development projected by 2007. This impact is less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. 1 U Impact. Approximately 98 percent more land would need to be developed as parkland as compared to the Proposed GP (2007). This impact is considered to be significantly adverse for the same reasons identified for the Proposed GP (2007). 0 Same as for the Proposed GP (2007)1 implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Impact. This impact would. be similar in nature to the Proposed GP (2007), but potentially greater in maotude due to the greater projected population levels.

The annual gas consumption associated with buildout of the Proposed GP (beyond 2007) would be 3,738,225 CF or 98 percent greater than by 2007. This impact is considered lei than significant (Michaeloff pers. comm.). Mitigation Measures 0 None are required, Electric Service Demand for Additional Electric Service to Be Accommodated by the Development of Two Substations and Expansion Of Substation Capacity impact. 'Me level of development provided for by the Proposed 6T (beyond 2007) would generate an additional &mand for approximately 313 million Kw hours per year, or 98 percent more electricity than under the Proposed GP (2007). The cit�s Jectrical demand projections for 2008 identify a potential need for approximately 161 megawatts of capacity that could be used to provide electrical service during peak periods, The city has not projected electricity demand beyond 2008. In addition to those improvements identified above for the Proposed GP (2007), development of an electrical substation in the southern portion of the city could be required to accommodate planned residential reserve areas at buildout (Hansen pers. comm.), The City anticipates no problems meeting future electricity demands (Hansen pers. comm.). This impact is considered less than significant. 10-39 Mitigation Measures Communications Service 0 H Demand for Additional Communications Senices to Be Accommodated by User Fees I Impact. The demand under this scenario would be greater than under the Proposed GP (by 2007) due to the greater level of population growtb. This service demand is considered a less -than -significant impact. I Mitigation Measures W Medical Service Demand for Additional Medical Services, Ambulance Service and Hospital Space to Be Accommodated Impact. 'Me development allowed under the Proposed GP (beyond 2007) would create a substantially greater dernand for medical services than the Proposed GP (2007). Doctors Hospital of Lodi and Lodi Memorial Hospital staff have indicated that considerable remaining capacity exists at Lodi hospitals and that staff and services could be expanded as needed. The demand for ambulance services would be greater than the demand under the proposed GP (2007)a Expansion of ambulance services would be provided by user fees. This impact is less than significant. None are required. RM H 0 r� U'l D 0 No -Project Alternative The development Haat would be allowed under the No -Project Alternative would create a demand for 5.6 MGD of potable water supply at buildout (Table 10-2), or 28 percent less than under the Proposed OP. approximately 10 additional wells and associated in -tract distribution lines would be required to provide service under this alternative. The development Haat would be allowed under the No -Project Alternative would generate approximately 2.1 MGD of additional wastewater flows (Table 1013) (25 percent less than under the Proposed GP) that would require treatment plant capacity and extension of collection infifrastrUctaare. This additional flow could be handled by the current treatment plant expansion to &5 MGD. The development that would be allowed under the No -Project Alternative would generate less stcorzwater runoff than the Proposed GP because this alternative's level of development. would likely create less impervious surfaces. The corresponding demand for detention basin storage and drainage infrastructure under the No -Project Alternative would also be less than the demand expected for the Proposed CSP. Specifically, implementation of this alternative would eliminate the need for extension of drainage infrastructures on Century Boulevard west to sower Sacramento road, and would also eliminate the need for a drainage basin and collector lines in Basin 1. IMJ Implementation of the No -.Project Alternative would create a demand for approximately 23 additional sworn police officers and associated equipment or 30 percent less than under the Proposed GP. Implementation of the No -Project Alternative would additional firef i hi ng personnel and associated equipment Proposed CSP. The Fire Department has indicated Haat an be located in the western portion of the GP area. 1041 create a demand for fewer and facilities than under the additional fire station. would 0 LUSD enrollment would increase by approximately 5,800 students under the No - Project Alternative (Table 10-4), or 21 percent less than under the Proposed GP from 1987 to 2007. Compared to the Proposed GP, the No -Project Alternative would slightly reduce the cumulative need for new schools at all grade levels. Library Services I The No -Project Alternative would allow development that would increase the demand for library services and facilities. Since the population that would result from this alternative would be less than the population projected under the Proposed GP, the corresponding demand for additional library space would be less than the space needed to accommodate the Proposed GP population. Under the No -Project Alternative, The additional demand for parkland would be less than for the Proposed P. Based on the current City parkland ratio for standard parks and school and detention basin parks (8.0 acres per 1,000 population), the No -Project Alternative would create a demand for 140 acres of developed park space. The developed parkland needed to provide adequate neighborhood and community parks, excluding school and basin parks (3.9 acres per 1,000 population), would be approximately 68 acres. The new development allowed under the No -Project Alternative would generate approximately 22,750 terns of solid waste per year at buildout (or 31 percent less than under the Proposed GP). San Joaquin County anticipates that the new North County Sanitary Landfill could adequately handle solid waste generated from the city over the next 36-50 years (Horton pers. comm,). The level of development provided for by the No -Project Alternative would generate approximately 1,312,650 CF per year (or 30 percent less than under the Proposed OP). PG&E has indicated that natural gas supply is adequate to meet this demand (Michaeloff pers. comm.). Additional gas distribut.ion lines would be required to serve developing areas. Electric Service Under the No -Project Alternative the city's electricity demand could increase by approximately 105 million kW hours (or 34 percent less than under the Proposed GP), The I city's peak eak electricity demand would also increase; requiring expansion and construction of substations in developing areas. Communication Sakes implementation of the No -Project Alternative would create less demand for corer nunication services than the Proposed GP. The trio -Project Alternative would allow development that could accommodate a. population increase of approximately 17,500 people. Ttais population increase would likely increase the demand for medical services, ambulance services, and hospital space. This impact would be less than the impact expected for the Proposed GP. Water Service The development that would be allowed under the Higher Growth Alternative would create a demand for approximately 10.7 MGD of additional potable water supply at buildout (Table 10 2) (or 37 percent more than under the Proposed P). Approximately 19 additional veils and associated in -tract distribution lines would be required to provide service under this alternative. Wastewater Sues The development that would be allowed under the Higher Growth Alternative would generate approximately 3.8 MOD of additional wastewater flows (Table 10-3) (car 36 percent more than under the Proposed P) that would require treatment plant capacity and extension of collection infrastructure. This additional flow could not be handled by the current treatment plant expansion to &S MGD but could be accommodated when the plant is expanded to 10 MGD. The development that would be allowed under the Higher Growth Alternative would generate greater stormwater runoff than the Proposed GP because this alternative's level of development would likely create more impervious surfaces. The corresponding demand for detention basin storage and drainage infrastructure under the Higher Growth Alternative would also be greater than the demand expected for the Proposed CP. Specifically, implementation of this alternative, would require extension of drainage 10-43 infrastructure south of Harney Lane in drainage basins J and K and construction of tura additional detention basins. Implementation of the Higher Growth Alternative would create a demand for approximately 46additional sworn police officers (or 39 percent more than under the Proposed GP) and associated equipment. Implementation of the Higher Growth Alternative would create a demand for yet more firefighting personnel and associated equipment and facilities than under the Proposed GP. The Fire Department has indicated that an additional fire station would be located in the western portion of the GP area. LUSD enrollment would increase by approximately 10,500 students under the Higher Growth Alternative (Table 10-4), or 41 percent more than under the Proposed GP from 1957 to 2007. Compared to the Proposed GP, the Higher Growth Alternative would require three more elementary schools and increase the cumulative need for additional middle and high :schools. e Higher Growth Alternative would allow development that would substantially increase the demand for library services and facilities. Since the population that would result from this alternative would be greater than the population projected under the Proposed GP, the corresponding demand for additional library space would be greater than the space needed to accommodate the Proposed GP population. Linder the Higher Growth Alternative the additional demand for parkland would be greater than for the Proposed GP. Based on the current city parkland ratio for standard parks and school and detention basin parks (5.0 acres per 1,000 papulation.), this alternative would create a demand for approximately 285 acres of developed park space. The developed parkland needed to provide adequate neighborhood and community parks, excluding school and basin parks (3.9 acres per 1,000 population), would be approximately 139 acres. Demand for recreation programs under the Nigher Growth Alternative would also be greater than under the Proposed GP. Solid Waste The new development allowed under the Higher Growth Alternative would generate approximately 46;276 tans of solid waste per year at buildout (or 41 percent more than under the Proposed '). San Joaquin County anticipates that the new North County Sanitary Undfill could adequately handle solid waste generated from the City over the next 36-50 years (Horton pens, comm.). Natural Gas Service The level of development provided for by the Higher Growth Alternative would generate approximately 2,669,775 CF per year (qtr 41 percent more than under the Proposed GP). PG&E has indicated that natural gas supply is adequate to meet this demand (Mieha,eloff pers. coffin.). Additional gas distribution lines would be required to serve developing areas. In particular, PG&E has indicated that considerable distribution facilities would be required to serve future development south of the existing city limits. Electric Service Under the higher Growth Alternative, the city's electricity demand could increase by approximately 2141nillion kid hours (or 35 percent more than under the proposed GP). The city's peak electricity demand world also increase, requiring expansion and construction of substations it developing areas. Communication Services Implementation of the Nigher Growth Alternative would create greater demand for communication services than the Proposed GP. Medical Ser-4ce 'ne Niger Growth Alternative would allow development that could accommodate a papulation increase of approximately 17,500 people. This population increase would likely increase the demand for medicail services, ambulance services, and hospital space. This impact would be greater than the impact expected for the Proposed Gig. 10-45 J, u The City. of Lodi, formerly the Town of Mokelumne, was incorporated in 1906 (City of Lodi Planning Commission 1954)a Udi's greatest cultural amenity derives from the thousands of awes of agricultural land, primarily devoted to vineyards, which have leen in existence for over 100 ears. Grapes, primarily Flame T'okay gapes, played a vital role in community econornics, image, and Culture. This agricultural heritage is demonstrated today in the T...odi gape Festival, an $t -year -cold tradition created to celebrate the fall harvest. The festival is now a nationally recogmized event attracting visitors from all over the region. Archeological Resources °Ile Central California Information Center of the California archeological Inventory reports two Native American occupation/burial sites along the Mokelunme River in northern Lodi. Both sites have been heavily disturbed by levee construction and residential development (appendix i). Lodi is endowed with a substantial number of structures that exhibit valuable architectural resources. These structures include the Lodi Arch, Hotel Lodi, the cold opera house, City Hall, and the Carnegie library. Nearly 70 buildings in the downtown area have historical significance, especially a two block area of buildings on Sacramento Street, which formed the original main Street of Lodi. The Lodi Historical Society is currently consulting with the State Office of Historic Preservation to list Lodi as a Main Street Town. Older residential homes east and west of the downtown area also have historical and architectural significance. These structures include the Towne Farmhouse, the Beckman. Ranchhouse, and Hill House, The Plains Miwok Indians inhabited the northern portion of the Sari Joaquin Valley, including the Lodi.area, as evidenced by the dative American occupation/burial sites along the banks of the Mokelumne River near Woodbridge. The unincorporated areas of the Proposed CSP have historically been used for agricultural purposes. Most of the area retains this use. No cultural. or archeological resources have been recorded in the unincorporated ftortions of ,. e Morse-Sldnner Ranch House, located south of Lodi, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Impact.evelopment under the Proposed GP could occur can or near areas where cultural resource are located but .have not yet been identified by the Central California Information Center of the California, Archeological Inventory. To prevent cultural resources from beim destroyed, d ag d, or displaced from their original context, the Urban Design and Cultural Resources Element of the Proposed CSP Policy Document includes the following policyy, which would reduce this impact to less than significant. o policy J-4: The City shall consult with the California Archeological Inventory, Central California Information Center, at Stanislaus State University, on any project that could have an impact on cultural resources and implement the center's recommendation mitigation measures. 11-2 Mitigation Measures 0 None are . e d Architectural Resources Adoption of a Historic Preservation Ordinance and a Historic Building Code That Would Protect Historically Significant Buildings Impact. `Ihe Proposed CP promotes downtown Lodi as the City's social and cultural center and an e onon is ly viable retail and professional office district. The following policies, which are listed in the Urban Design and Cultural Resources Element of the Proposed GP Policy Document would ensure that historically significant buildings in downtown Lodi and elsewhere in the City are protected. This impact is considered beneficial. o Policy J«1: ne City shall develop an historic preservation ordinance that incorporates the following components: - identification of an historic district or a list of buildings to be protected; establishment of a qualified body to review historic buildings proposed for demolition, relocation, or rehabilitation; establishment of a mechanism for demolition, relocation, or rehabilitation suspension during a review process; establishment of a mechanism to protect historic buildings from demolition, relocation, or rehabitation, o Policy J-2: The City shall coordinate with the State Office of Historic Preservation in developing the historic preservation ordinance, o Policy J-3: The City shall work with property owners in seeking registration of historical structures as State Historic Landmarks or listing on the National Register of Historic Places. o Implementation Program 9: The City shall prepare an historical preservation ordinance consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy -1. o Implementation Program 10. The City shall adopt a building crude for historic buildings, consistent with the State Historic Building Cade, that regulates the updating of structural deficiencies in historically significant buildings. 11-3 Mitigation. Measures o lone are required. PROPOSED GENE (BEYOND 2007): IM PACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Archeological Resources Possible Ramage, Destructlon, or Removal of Recorded Cultural Resources Prevented by Implementing the Recommendations of the Central California Information Center Impact. Development of the reserve areas could result in ars impact similar in nature to that which would occur by 2007, but which could be of greater magnitude because more undeveloped acres would be urbanized beyond 2007. This impact is considered less than significant because the policies of the Proposed CSP would prevent adverse impacts on such resources. Mitigation Measures o None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP (2007) are implemented beyond 2007. Architectural Resources Adoption of a Historic Preservation Ordinance and a Historic Building Code That Would Protect Historically Significant Buildings Impact. This impact would be similar in nature and magnitude to 2007 conditions since both scenarios could involve improvements to historically significant buildings within the 1.987-2007 time frame. This impact is considered beneficial. o None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP (2007) are implemented. U ME M t.. Water Water Resources Surface Water The Mokelumne Diver is the principal surface water feature in the GP area. The river provides irrigation waters and recharges the local groundwater basin. No other streams are identified in the GP area. Lodi Lemke, a summer impoundment of the M kelurnne Ri ver at Woodbridge, serves as a diversion for the "V D's South Dain Carnal. Groundwater The GP area, as well as the entire Central Valley, is underlain by a vast thickness of alluvium whiO is ,saturated Below a relatively shallow depth (approximately 50 feet below the surface). The alluvial layers below the GP area are part of the aquifer system that extends the length of the valley. Locally, the aquifer is recharged by the Mokelurr ne River. Water Quality Surface Water Mokelumne 'liver water is normally suitable for agricultural water supply, contact recreation, freshwater babitat, and migration of anadromous fish (steelhead and salmon) (California Water r esources Control Board 1975a). A review of water quality sampling data at the Woodbrifte water quality and gauging station over the past 4 years (U.. Geological Survey 1984 and 1987) indicates that concentrations of all measured minerals and inorganic chemicals are well within the Maximum Concentration Levels (C) established by the California Department of Health Services (DHS) to wide human consumption of water. The primary water quality problem is bacterial contamination. Fecal coliform.batt ria, in excess of the DRSs MCL for water contact recreation., has been detected on several occasions downstream of Lodi Lake. Contamination at Lodi Lake, in excess of the established MCL, has also been detected during the swimming season. 1241 The City of Lodi uses groundwater as its sale source of municipal water supply. The following information on groundwater quality has been gathered since publication of the original Proposed CSP Background Report in 1987. Of the 23 production wells existing in the GP area in 1989, only 20 are currently producing. Of the remaining wells, one has been removed from service due to perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination, another due to hydrocarbon (gasoline) contamination, and the third is not yet on-line. Of the 20 wells in operation., 12 are contaminated by dibrornochloropropane (DBCP). MCP was a widely used sail fumigant in the GP area until it was found to cause sterility in production process workers (Tch€abanoglous 1985). DECP concentrations in these wells exceed the MS's MCL of 0.2 part per billion (ppb) established July 24, 1989 based on a proposed U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) MCI.,. The City has faired Brown and Caldwell Inc., a water resource consultant, to develop remediation alternatives as the City will have to comply with water quality standards by January 1993 (Ronsko pers. comm.). Nitrate contamination is a minor concern. Nitrate concentrations in excess of 30 parts per million (ppm) interfere with oxygen utilization of newborn babies (methanoglob nemia). titrate concentrations in Lodi's municipal wells, although varying widely, are less than half of EPA's MCL for primary drinking water standards of 10 ppm. Water from several private wells near the southern boundary of the GP area has exceeded the MCU. The groundwater in the southeastern portion of the GP area has nitrate contaminations between. 5 ppm and 10 ppm.. This contarn nation is probably due to agricultural practices (Sorenson 1981). Saltwater intrusion into the aquifer system is a major concern to Lodi and surrounding communities" that rely on groundwater. The City of Stockton has abandoned wells that have been contaminated by saltwater. Although high concentrations of sodium or chloride have not been detected in the Lodi's wells, saline groundwater has been detected several miles west of the GP area. Groundwater recharge by the Mokelumne River appears to currently protect the GP area from intrusion (Brown and Caldwell 1985). The levee system along the Mok luznne River is of sufficient height to protect nearly all the GP area fro a 100 -year florid; however, most of the area would be inundated by a 500 -year flood (Federal.Emergency Management agency 1987a, b, and c). The narrow strip of land can the northern boundary of the GP area between the Mokelurnne River and the levees, comprising approximately 400 acres, is subject to flooding from a 100 -yeas flow (Figure 1®1), 1 u H Ci u 0 0 0 kl Water Supply 1- 1111111111111111111111 'Willillillillillill� IMF - 111 Impact. Development provided for by the Proposed CSP would create demand for approximately:7.8 MGD of municipal water, or about 67 percent more than current usage. Currently, the City of Lodi uses groundwater as a municipal supply. Because overdraft of the aquifer already exists in the GP area, (resulting in lowering the water table at a rate of between 0.5 and 1.75 feet per year), it is unlikely that future water demands can be met without increased overdraft and saltwater intrusion, unless projected growth occurs in agricultural meas where groundwater pumping is occurring at a rate greater than Haat required for domestic use. Domestic water demand, however, is estimated to exceed agricultural uses by 2.5 times based on daily evapotranspiration rates (University of California Cooperative Extension 1357) and crop coefficients (University of California. Agricultural Experiment Station 1985) for gapes. It was assumed that gapes are currently grown on 100 percent of the agricultural land to be developed; this percentage is overstated, but was used to account for leaks in the irrigation systems, leaching if required, and variations in crap management. Based on these assumptions, the crop water demand was calculated to equal 26.36 inches per year per crap and total water demand was calculated to equal 1,! 15 million gallons per year. Projected municipal demand is estimated at 2,847 million gallons per year or 2.55 times the agricultural demand. The 1978 California. Water atlas contains data indicating that the water demand from grapes is 3.5 acre-feet per acre. Based on these data, the crop water demand was calculated to equal 42 inches per year per crop, and total water demand was calculated to equal 1,733 million gallons per year. Projected municipal demand is estimated at 1..61 times the agricultural demand. The following policies from the Proposed GP Conservation Element reduce the impacts of an inadequate water supply, but not to less than significant. o Policy A.4a The City shall explore the potential development of surface water sources to augment the City's groundwater supply. o Policy A-7, as identified above. o Policy T1: The City shall require water conservation in bath City operations and private development to minimize the meed for the development of new water sources and facilities. o Policy B-2; The City shall meter all new residential developments. ca Policy B-3: The City shall develop a programa for metering all existing residential uses, 12- 0 Policy B-4: The City shall require water -conserving landscaping practices in City projects and private developments, such as the use of drought -tolerant plants and irrigation techniques. 0 Implementation Program 3: The City shall explore the potential use of surface water to augment the City's water supply. 0 Implementation Program 5: The City shall adopt a resolution establishing a program for metering all new residential uses. 0 Implementation Program 6: The City shall evaluate the feasibility of retrofitting existing residential uses with water meters. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse, 0 The City should add the following policy to the Proposed GP Policy Document: The City shall provide for an adequate high-quality water supply prior to approving future development. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Establishment.of Mechanisms to Par.tially Reduce. the Potential for Surface Water Quality Degradation Caused by Increased Runoff, Muent Discharge, and Recreational Use of Lodi Lake and the Mokelumne R iver Impact. Surface water quality could be degraded by increased urban runoff, increased discharge of treated effluent, and increased recreational use of Lodi Lake and the Mokelumne River. The paving of land surfaces as provided for by the development allowed under the Proposed GP would increase urban runoff to the Mokelumne River and the 'ID Canal. Urban runoff is normally contaminated with hydrocarbons (oil, gasoline diesel), heavy metals (lead, cadmium, nickel), fertilizers, and other inorganic and organic chemicals. Temporary increases in sediment load would also occur as a result of erosion related to construction. The increased population levels provided for by the Proposed GP would increase discharge of secunda . ry treated effluent from the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility to Dred . ger Cut, a tributary to White Slough and the San Joaquin Delta. 12-4 I Li The increased population provided for by the Proposed GP could also induce increased use of Lodi Lake for recreational purposes, thereby increasing the incidence of bacterial contarmination linked to contact recreation. Gasoline and motor oil may contaminate surface waters as a result of boating. Water quality degradation may be a hazard to both human health and the ecosystem. The following Proposed GP Conservation Element policies reduce this impact, but not to less than significant: 0 Policy A-7: The City shall explore a program of complete wastewater reclamation and reuse at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. 0 Policy D-1: Ile City shall require developers to prepare an erosion and sediment control plan, prior to approving development, that includes features such as mitigation of sediment runoff beyond proposed project boundaries, and complete revegetation and stabilization of all disturbed soils (including details regarding seed material, fertilizer, and mulching). 0 Policy A-1: The City shall monitor the Mokelumne River and Lodi Lake to determine when the coliform bacteria standard for contact recreation establis hed by the California Department of Health Services is exceeded. 0 Policy A-2- The City shall post signs at areas used by recreationists warning users of health risks whenever the coliform. bacteria standard for contact recreation is exceeded. 0 Implementation Program 1- The City shall monitor the presence of coliform bacteria in the Mokelumne River and Lodi Lake and take remedial action as necessary. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures 0 The City should add the following policy to the Proposed GP Policy Document: The City shall monitor outfalls to the Mokelumne River and the WID Canal consikent with EPA and State Water Quality Control Board requirements; and 0 The City should revise Implementation Program I of the Proposed GP Conservation Element to read: The City, together with the County, shall monitor the water quality of the Mokelumne River and Lodi Lake to deten-nine when the coliform, bacteria standard for Contact recreation and the Maximum Concentration Levels of Priority Pollutants, established by the California Department of Health Services (DHS), are exceeded. The 12-5 City shall also monitor the presence of pollutants and other variables that could cause farm to fish, wildlife, and plant species in the Mokelumne River and Lodz Lake, The City shall participate in implementing remedial action as feasible. See also Chapter 14, "Biological Resources," since this sande measure is addressed in this chapter also. Implementation of these measures would reduce this impact to less than significant. impact. Development of the GP area with urbanized uses would reduce contamination of groundwater by agricultural practices. The agricultural practice of leaching is the caws of many of the groundwater quality problems in Lodi. Leaching is the process of applying irrigation water to wash accumulated salts from the root zone. As a result of leaching, large quantities of nitrate (fertilizer) and organic chemicals (such as D13CP, a pesticide) also have to be gashed from the root zone contaminating the aquifers Haat are the source of Lodi's municipal water supply. Conversion of agricultural lands in the CP area to urban uses would decrease leaching of these contaminants to the aquifer. Although urban and industrial pollution may introduce different contaminants to the soils, the greatly reduced infiltration rates would eliminate a major source of groundwater degradation in the GP area. On a regional context, this reduction is relatively small since the amount of land being converted is mincer compared to the surrounding agricultural land. This may be considered a net -beneficial impact. Mitigation Measures r None are required. Impact. The overdraft of groundwater has cawed the infiltration of saltwater from the San Joaquin Delta. Although salt -contaminated: groundwater is not present in the GP area,, it can be found a few miles west. Currently, the City relies on groundwater for municipal supplies. Increases in municipal demand caused by development allowed under the Proposed GP would cause continued overdraft. Continued overdraft of groundwater resulting in saltwater intrusion is a significant adverse impact. The following policies from the Proposed GP Conservation Element reduce the impacts to groundwater quality, but not to less than significant: o Policies A-4, A-7, P-1, m2, Pm3, and B-4, as identified above o Policy A-5: The City shall regularly monitor water quality in municipal wells for evidence of contamination from DBCP, saltwater intrusion, and other toxic substances that could pose a health hazard to the domestic water supply. 12-6 U Ci I d L Policy A-6: The City shall close or treat municipal wells that exceed the action level for DBCP. it Implementation Program 2: The City shall monitor water quality in City wells for evidence of DB I', saltwater intrusion, and other contaminants, and take remedial action as necessary. 0 Implementation Programs 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6, as identified above Mitigation Measures 0 The City should add the following policy to the Proposed GP Policy Document: The City shall provide for an adequate higli-quality water supply prior to approving future development. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. No Development Subject to 100 -Year Flood Hazards Impact. The overcovering of soils resulting from development would reduce infiltration rates thereby increasing ., the g runoff rates. Increased runoff and the nearly level topography of the GP area could lead to localized flooding, 7Me population provided for by the Proposed GP would not be subject to the 100 - year flood, and some would not be subject to any flooding. Most areas would be subject to the 500 -year flood. The following policies from the Proposed GP Health and Safety Element would reduce the impacts of flooding to less than significant: 0 Policy A-1: The City shall continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program and ensure that local regulations are in full compliance with standards adopted by FEMA. 0 Policy A-2-, The City shall ensure that storm drainage facilities are constructed to serve new development adequate to store runoff generated by a 100 -year storm. 0 Policy A-3: The City shall ensure that storm drainage facilities are provided for all new development to make certain that all surface runoff generated by the development is adequately handled. 0 Policy A-4: The City shall evaluate the degree of flood protection afforded to currently developed areas compared to standards for new development. WA o Policy A-5: The City shall only permit structures in the 100 -year floodplain consistent with FEMA regulations. o Policy A, -6s The City shall not support approval of land uses or projects that have the potential of greatly increasing flood hazards in Lodi. o Policy A -7e °The City shall support the implementation of flood hazard reduction measures in neighboring areas. o bone are required.

The magmita de of the impacts would be greater than those of the Proposed GP (2007). 12-10 El The GP area is underlain by a vast thickness of alluvium derived from the ancestral Sierra Nevada. mountains. This unconsolidated and semi consolidated material grades downward into consolidated sedimentary rocks. MW Correspond. ag to the underlying granitic alluvial parent material, the soils in the GP area are sandy loams. The majority of the sail in the undeveloped portions of the GP area: are `I`okay fine sandy loa s. Several inclusions of TTujunga loamy sand are also present in the GP area. . Clear Lake clay and Columbia fine sandy loam occurs within the leveed floodplain of. okelumne River. In general, the soils are highly productive for agriculture and pease little constraint to development. The sails are considered prime agricultural soils, with USDA -capability classification of H (Tokay) and III (Tujunga) (Figure 13-1 and Table 13-1), The soils have goad load bearing strengths, low shrink -swell potentials (except Clear Lake clay in the iloodway), and are well drained. 'The scalls are moderately susceptible to wind and water erosion due to the fire texture and low clay content. Other than natural gas, no ether mineral resources are known to exist in the GP area. abandoned and active gas fields are present in the Lodi area. No natural gas production is occurring in the GP area and the potential for future production is low. The underlying alluvial materials are suitable for construction fill, but no aggregate suitable for concrete manufacturing is present (Jensen pers. comm.). n Table 1�-1, soil Characteristics Map Symbols Soil Name Permanent Depth to Depth to Wates Hardpan Uhl Position finches)b (feet) Drainage Permeability Hydrologic Hydrologic_ Soil Gr,;up'' Water .Erosion Hazard Wind Erosion Hazards Stren.gt "SHO) Worst in profile Rating Shrink -Sven Potential Sep€%-- Range of "iiigh11 Rating Qnches# Available Water Capacitye Land Capability Class Irrigated/ Nonirrigated CB Colurmble, fine zaMy Nearly level - 5 Somewhat poorly Moderately B Slight Slight A-4 Falr Low - Moderate II/IV loam, eirained floodplain drained rapid CE Columbia fine sandy Nearly level/ - 3-5 Somewhat poorly Moderately C Moderate Slight A-, Fair Low - Moderate II/IV loam, channeled undolating drained rapid floodplatns Cy Colua&ta fine sandy Nearly level - 3-5 Somewhat poorly Moderately C Slight Slight A-4 Fair Low - Moderate or Ilf/IV loam, occasionally floodplain drained rapid high flooded CL Clear Lake clay, Nearly level 40-80 5 Somewhat poorly Blas+ A Slight - A-7 Poor High 0-37 Moderate or Il/Iv hardpansn substratum basins drained )sigh BG Tokay floe sandy Low terraces 4€3-•60 S Moderately well Moderately B Slight Moderate A-4 i8ir Low - Moderate Il/IV loam, bardpan drained rapid substrates HH Tokay fine sandy Low terraces 60-99 5 Stell drained Moderately B Slight Moderate A-4 Fair Low - Mtderate SI/IV loam rapid HU Tvkay-urban land Low terraces 60-99 5 K>derately well Moderately 0 Slight moderate A-4 Fair Imo - Moderate or I1/7V complex drained rapid high Fes^ CrA3 TA Txnjunga loamy sand Nearly level - - ixcessively Rapid A Slight Severe A-3 Goad Law - Lox Ili/v $ floodplains drained UB Urban land - NIC NIC NIC NIC N/C NIC NIC Nib - NIC - NIC NIC Source; U.

No faults are known to cross the GP area; however, groundshaking from an earthquake outside the GP area may cause damage to structures. The maximum expected earthquake in the Lodi area corresponds to a Modified Mercalli Intensity VIII. Such an earthquake may originate in major faults of the San Andreas systern, the Midland Fault, or the Tracy - Stockton Fault. Earthquake damages may be higher if liquefaction occurs. It is not known if liquefaction susceptibility zones are present in the GP area, Areas adjacent to the Mokelumne River, where the water table is near the surface have the greatest potential for liquefaction. M Overcovering of Appro7dmately 1,550 Acres of Prime Agricultural Soils impact. Development under the Proposed GP would allow the overcovering of approximately 1,550 acres of prime agricultural lands as defined above. (See also Chapter 49 11,and Use".) The following policies and implementation program from the Proposed GP Conservation Element may delay the loss of prime agricultural lands and facilitate continued agricultural uses on adjacent lands not planned for urbanization: 0 Policy C-1: The City shall discourage the cancellation of Williamson Act contracts until it is demonstrated that lands with such contracts will be needed for urban development in the immediate future. 0 Policy C-2. The City shall ensure, in approving urban development near existing agricultural lands, that such development will not constrain agricultural practices or adversely affect the economic viability of adjacent practices. 0 Policy C-3: The City shall require new development to establish buffers between urban development and productive agricultural uses consistent with the recommendations of the San Joaquin County Department of Agriculture, 0 Policy C-4: The City shall adopt a " right -to- farm" ordinance by which agricultural land shall be protected from nuisance suits brought by surrounding landowners. 0 Implementation Program 7: The City shall adopt a "right -to -farm ordinance. 13-3 The following policies from the Proposed GP Land Use and Growth Management Element also sup . port the continuation of agricultural uses as long as possible: 0 Policy B-2: The City should designate a continuous agricultural and open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City to maintain and enhance the agricultural economy and the aesthetic quality of Lodi. 0 Policy B-3: The City shall cooperate with San Joaquin County and the San Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Corrunission to ensure that the greenbelt is maintained. 0 Policy B-4. The City shall support the continuation of agricultural uses designated for urban uses until urban development is imminent. 0 Policy B-5. The City shall promote land use decisions within the designated urbanized area that allow and encourage the continuation of viable agricultural activity around the City. 0 Policy B-6: The City shall encourage San Joaquin County to retain agricultural uses on lands adjacent to the city. 0 policy C-8: `ase City shall identify a planned residential reserve designation for development of residential uses beyond the time frame of the GP. Until these areas are redesignated with a nonreserve GP designation, allowed uses and development standards shall be the same as those of the agricultural designation. 0 Policy G-5: The City shall identify a planned residential reserve designation for development of industrial uses beyond the time frame of the GP. Until these areas are redesignated with a nonreserve GP designation, allowed uses and development standards shall be the same as those of the agricultural designation. The overcovering of prime agricultural soils is considered a significant adverse impact. Mitigation Measures 0 None are available other than prohibiting development of prime agricultural lands. The previously :listed Proposed GP policies would reduce the impacts but do not eliminate the significant adverse impact. Therefore, this impact is considered unavoidable. WE increased Siltation and Soil Erosion impact... Development under the Proposed GP would result in increased siltation of the city's stoma sewer system and WID drainage canals. Increased urbanization would m; erosion rates of drainage syste increase peak runoff rates and demands on the storm exposed soils would similarly increase. Sediment causing partial clogging would reduce the systems efficiency. The following policy from the Proposed GP Conservation Element reduces the impacts of soil erosion to less than significant: o Policy D-1: 'Me City shall require developers to prepare an erosion and sediment control plan, prior to approving development, that includes features such as mitigation of sediment runoff beyond proposed project boundaries, and complete revegetation and stabilization of all disturbed soils (including details regarding seed material, fertilizer, and mulching).

The City should require that signs be posted on buildings or other structures that are identified as seismically unsafe until structural deficiencies are corrected in accordance with City building codes. Implementation of these measures would reduce seismic hazard impacts to less than significant. M impact. Development beyond 2007 would result in the overcoverin of a additional 2,059 acres of prune agricultural lands, or a 133 percent increase over that which would occur by 2007. The policies of the proposed l? Policy Document would reduce this impact, but not to less than significant. This impact is considered significantly adverse. Mitigation :Measures o None are available other than prohibiting development of prime agricultural lands. This impact is, therefore, unavoidable. 13-b R- e Impact.....Impacts occurring beyond 2007 would be similar in nature to those occurring by 200.7. Themagnitude of this impact would be greater under this scenario due to the greater level of development. Policies from the Proposed GP Conservation Element that reduce the impacts of soil erosion have been previously listed. This impact is considered less than significant. 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Impacts This impact would be similar in nature but greater in magnitude than impacts that would occur by 2007 due to the greater level of permitted development. Policies from the Proposed GP Health and Safety Element that reduce the impacts of seismicity have been previously listed. 'Tris impact is considered to be significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures o Same as for the Proposed GP (2007). Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than signif=icant. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED GENERAL This alternative would allow the overcovering of appr.o.xima.tely 1,220 acres of primeagricultur l lands car approximately 330 acres less under than the Proposed GP (2007). The other geological and soil -related impacts would be of similar significance. 13®7 11 This alternative would allow the ov reoverin of approximately 2,350 acres of prune agricultural lands or space approximately 800 acres more than order the Proposed GP (2007)0 The ether geological and soil -related impacts would be of similar significance. No The Lodi GP area contains several habitat types that are utilized by plant and wildlife species. These habitat types include riverine and riparian (along the Mokelumne River and Lodi Vie), ponds and marshes, old fields and vacant scats, fence rows, agricultural fields, and. urban areas. The riverine, riparian, and pond and marsh habitats represent intact natural vegetation or natural communities. The other four communities are altered habitat types resulting from human activities. The biological diversity and value these habitat types have for native plant and wildlife species varus considerably, and is described in greater detail in the Proposed GP Background Report. Existing babitats within the CSP area consist of approximately 25,700 linear feet of river channels, 50 acres of riparian stands, several acres of ponds and marshes, 550 ares of old fields (vacant lots), several rifles of fence rows, 1,550 acres of agricultural areas, 370 acres of detention bashes and parks, and 3,500 acres of developed urban areas. An additional 2,050 acres of undeveloped or sparsely developed land, consisting primarily of agricultural lands, would be placed in reserve until 2007, Each of these habitats add to the biological diversity of the GP area. i.rct Impacts to Habitat Impact. The level of development provided for by the Proposed GP could result in direct losses of valley pals trees (Quercus 16batd) and Great V Iiey valley oak riparian forest vegetation in areas where scattered valley oafs occur. The losses would occur primarily in agricultural fields soul% of Century Boulevard and west of the South Maim Canal, and along the eastleve of the South Irwin Canal north of Sargent Road. This potential loss of valley oak trees is important since the valley oak woodland has been significantly reduced in size throughout California as a result of agricultural conversions and urbani ation; this statewide reduction has resulted in the valley oak beim placed on the California Native Plant Society's list 4, plants of Limited Distribution (Smith and Berg 1988). The Great Valley valley oak riparian forest plant community is identified by the Natural Diversity Data Base (1987) as a natural community of highest inventory priority. 14-1 The following policies and implementation program from the Proposed GP Conservation Element would reduce this impact to a less -than -significant level: o Policy. p1: The City shall protect the river channel, pond and marsh, and riparian vegetation and wildlife communities and habitats in the Mokelumne River and floodplain areas. o Policy -2: The City shall prohibit the removal of large valley oak trees that are defined as "heritage trees." o Policy -3: New development shall be sited to maximize the protection of naive tree svecies and sensitive plants and wildlife habitats. 0 Policy ®5a The City shall require site-specific surveys to identify significant vegetation and wildlife habitat for development projects located in or .near sensitive habitat areas, o Implementation Program $: The City shall adapt a heritage tree ordinance that defines and identifies mature trees to be protected and establishes regulations for their protection and removal. Mitigation Measures iNone are required. The proposed heritage tree ordinance should be designed to also protect younger trees adjacent to Gilder trees that would eventually be replaced. Consideration of saplings adjacent to "mother" trees should be included in the ordinance as well. Loss of Foraging,Roosting, and Pt and the r r Impact. The conversion of approximately 300 acres of agricultural land (California Department of dater Resources 1982) (that currently consists of grains; corn, rn. 1i pasture, alfalfa, beans, peppers, suer leets, and tomatoes) to residential, commercial, or industrial development could significantly reduce the amount of foraging, roosting, and potential nesting habitat for the state -listed threatened Swainson's bawk and the burrowing owl, a species of special conceal to the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), since these species forage in agricultural lands containing these types of craps. The burrowing owl also nests in open areas in burrows on slightly elevated sites. By providing procedures aimed at protecting riparian areas, individual trees, and foraging habitat, the following policies of the Conservation Element would reduce the lass m ul, 0 0 7 D of suitable Swainson's hawk and burrowing owl habitat, but not to a less -than -significant level: o Policies -I., -2, and E-3 identified above. o Policy E-6. The City shall support federal and state laws and policies preserving rare, threatened, and endangered species by ensuring that development does not adversely affect such species or by fully mitigating adverse effects consistent with the recommendations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Carne. If development in the CSP area does not involve State funding or permitting, I FG would not have direct authority to protect the habitat of listed species. o Policy E-9: The City shall explore the purchase of or establishment of a,joint agreement for opera space preservation and habitat enhancement in the Woodbridge Irrigation District's property located north of the l okelumne River. Tberefore, this reduction in habitat would have a significant adverse cumulative impact on Swainson's bawk and the burrowing owl. Mitigation Measures m Document - The City should work with. DFG in identifying ars area or areas suitable for Swainson's hawk and burrowing owl habitat; this land should be preserved and .put into a mitigation land brit% to mitigate impacts on existing habitat for these species, m The City should establish: a. mechanism for developer funding of acquisition and management of lands in the mitigation bank. The City should formulate procedures for developers to fallow to determine whether their projects involve the "take" of burrowing owls or other raptors or their nests, and to obtain a DDG permit for taking or destroying the nests or eggs of raptors (Fish and Game Made Section. 3503.5), Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Impact. Undeveloped areas, such as vacant lots, areas containing riparian stands and riverine habitats, and agricultural lauds provide habitat for a variety of plaits and wildlife, including invertebrates, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals Wessel and Wong 19$7). I Wile many of the species that occupy. those habitats are not threatened by extinction, thein presence in the local environment is important to the food chain that not only supports other common species, hitt also supports rarer species (Reid and Miller 1959). 'ne development of 2,116 acres of vacant lots and agricultural lands by the year 2007 would have a significant adverse impact on those wildlife and plant species that currently occupy these Habitats and that would not survive in aro urban environment, Mitigation Measures 0 The City should add the following policy to the Proposed GP Policy Document: ® The City skull manage portions of stores drainage detention ponds and drainage ponds, and ether appropriate areas, as wildlife habitat. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Indirect Impacts Water Pollution d , ; Wildlife Species : io Mokelurnae River and: Lodi: Lake Nktinfly Reduced by Implementat 11 of a Men: it Program impact. The level of development provided for by the Proposed GP could increase urban runoff and use of Lodi Lake Perk and Nature Area and the Mokelunine River (e.g., water dependent activities; hiking, biking, and equestrian activities; and park use and maintezi ce activities could increase within Lodi Lake park and the vicinity). Such aro increase would adversely affect the aquatic, wetland, and riparian habitats associated with the river and lake. Several policies and an implementation program contained in the Conservation Element reduce this impact, but not to less than significant: €� Policy .A.a3: The City small prohibit new industrial development that will adversely affect water duality in the Mokelumne diver or in the area's groundwater basin. o Policy A-8. The City shall support efforts on a county, regional, state, and federal level to reduce runoff of toxic chemicals from agricultural lands. This policy may indirectly lower agricultural pollutant levels entering aquatic system such as the Mokelumne River. o Policy -1 as identified above. o Policies -7, The City shall prohibit.. the development of facilities and trails in Udi Lake fork that will degrade or destroy riparian 'habitat values. C 0 Policym8a The City shall direct park use away from sensitive habitat areas through careful placement of facilities and trails in Lodi Lake Park. o Implementation. Program 1e The City shall monitor the presence of coliform bacteria. in the Mokelumne River and Dodi lake and take remedial action as necessary. Therefore, this impact is considered significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures o The City should revise Implementation Program I of the Proposed GP Conservation Element to read* 77he City, together with the County, shall monitor the water quality of the Mokelumne River and Dodi Lake to determine when the coliform bacteria standard for contact recreation and the Mannium Concentration Levels of Priority Pollutants, established by the California Department of Health Services (DHS), are exceeded. The City shall also monitor the presence of pollutants and other variables that could cause harm to fish, wildlife, and plant species in the li okelumne Rivr and Lodi Teske. The City shall participate in implementing remedial action as feasible. Examples of variables that should be monitored include petroleum hydrocarbons, water temperature, dissolved oxygen., ply, conductance, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, hardiness, nitrogen, potassium, surfactant, and metals, suet as zinc, mercury, copper, chromium, magnesium, manganese, and selenium. See also Chapter 12, "Hydrology and Water Quality" since this same measure is addressed in. this chapter also. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Impact. Increased urban runoff and recreational use of the 11 okeluz ne River and Lodi Lake could adversely impact freshwater and anadrornous fish species by degrading spawning grounds ds and foraging habitat. In addition to noise and trampling impacts, increased fishing could result in reduced numbers of fish. The following Conservation Element policies would reduce this impact, but not to less than si ificanta o Policies A-3, R1, -7, and 48 and Implementation Program 1, as identified above, 14-5 U 0 Policy E-11: The City shall prohibit any activity that will disturb bottom sediments containing zinc deposits in the Mokelumne River, because such disturbance could cause fish kills. 0 Policy E-12: The City shall support strong regulatory action by the State Regional Water Quality Control Board to prevent the discharge of substances harmful to fish into the Mokelumne River. 0 Policy E-13: The City shall prohibit activities that could disturb anadrornous fish in the Mokelumne River during periods of migration and spawning. I Therefore, this impact is considered significantly adverse.. Mitigation Measures 0 T7he City should revise Implementation Program I of the Proposed GP Conservation Element per the previous mitigation measure. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Direct Impacts to Habitat Impact. This impact would be greater with development of the reserve areas since more habitat would be affected. The policies of the Proposed GP would reduce this impact to less than sin1ficant. 9 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007.

The policies of the Proposed GP would reduce these impacts, but not to less than significant. Mitigat! on Measures 0 Same as for the Proposed GP. This measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. 14-7 Tle No -Project Alternative differs from the Proposed GP in that: 0 A total of 310 fewer acres would be developed, 0 A total of 97 fewer acres of detention basins and parks would be established, 0 A total of 177 fewer acres of would be converted to urban development, 0 A total of 50 more acres would be converted to industrial development, and 0 A total of 46 fewer acres of commercial development would be allowed. The impacts associated with this alternative are expected to be similar in nature to the Proposed GP. However, because of the lower levels of overall growth, the impacts would likely occur at a less intense level. Tle Open. Space -Conservation Element of the existing OP contains the following references to biological resources (City of Lodi Community Development Department 1973): 0 The valley oak is identified as a significant resource; however, no mechanisms we r . e developed to protect or prescribe mitigation measures to replace impacted trees. 0 Wildlife, including the Swainson's hawk, is identified as an important biological resource; however, no mechanisms were developed to protect or prescribe mitigation measures to replace impacted habitat. o Policies are included on pages 21 and 28 that address impacts on the biological resources of the Mokelunine River and Lodi Lake Park and Nature Area; however, the policies contained in the Proposed GP Policy Document would be more effective in mitigating impacts. 0 Policies are included on pages 28 that are designed to protect fisheries; however, the policies and implementation programs of the Proposed GP would be more effective in mitigating impacts. EME This alternative differs from the Proposed GP (2007) in that: 0 A total of 817 more acres would be developed, 0 A total of 53 more acres of detention basins and parks would be created, 0 A total of 590 more acres of urban development would be allowed, 0 A total of 73 fewer acres of industrial land would be allowed, and 0 A total of 141 more acres of commercial development would be allowed. The impacts associated with this alternative are expected to be similar in nature to the Proposed GP. However, because of the higher levels of overall growth, the impacts would likely occur at a more intense level. IME mrm Both the State of California and the federal government have established ambient air quality standards for several different pollutants (Table 15-1). For some pollutants; separate standards have been set for different exposure periods. Federal and. state ambient air quality standards. are based primarily on public health criteria. State air quality standards for some pollutants incorporate consideration of other values (such as protection of crops, protection of materials, or avoidance of nuisance conditions). The air pollutants of greatest concern in San Joaquin County include various components ofphotoch mi ail smog (ozone and other pollutants), carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. The major r effects of ozone and other components of photochemical smog.include reductions in plant growth and crap yield, chemical deterioration of various materials, irritation of the respiratory system, and eye irritation. Carbon monoxide is a mildly toxic pollutant that interferes with oxygen transport to body tissues. Particulate matter can be responsible for a wide range of pollution effects, including visibility reduction, respiratory irritation, corrosion of structures and materials, and economic effects related to soiling of materials. Air quality monitoring data from San Joaquin County show occasional violations of the federal and state ozone standards, the federal and state carbon monoxide standards, and the state standards for particulate matter smaller than 10 nkrons in diameter (PM1 ). Violations of ozone and particulate matter standards occur on a countywide basis, while carboys monoxide problems appear to be restricted to portions of the City of Stockton. The federal ozone standard is exceeded a few tubes each summer at monitoring stations in Stockton. The more stringent state ozone standard is exceeded on 16-20 days each summer at the Hazleton avenue monitoring station in Stockton and can 30-50 days each surnmer at the Mariposa avenue monitoring station in Stockton. There are no ambient air quality monitoring stations in the City of Lodi. data from monitoring nations in Stockton and Manteca indicate year -to -yeas fluctuations in air pollution levels but little overall change during the last C years. 15-1 Table 15-1.

National standards shown are the primary (health cftcts) standards. The California 24-hour standard for SOj applies.only When state 1 -hour 03 or 24-hour PM1O standards are being violated concurrently, ®zone and carbon monoxide problems stem primarily from vehicle traffic associated with urban development. ent. A variety of emission sources contribute to particulate matter problems in San joaq in County, with ' important seasonal variations for some sources. Major contributors to particulate matter problems include agricultural activities, dust suspended by vehicle traffic, and aerosols formed by photochemical smog reactions. Particulate matter emissions from industrial sources also can be important localized emission sources. Local agency air qualitymanagement activities occur in the context of planing and regulatory programs established by federal and state legislation. The federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act of 1988 provide the major legislative authority for most air quality management programs. Air quality management program are generally developed on a pollutant -by - pollutant basis whenever one or more air quality standards are being violated. Vehicle traffic associated with urban development ent is a major contributor to both ozone and carbon monoxide air pollution problems. Agricultural activities and practices are the major sources of particulate utter problem, Consequently, air quality management programs for ozone and carbon monoxide tend to focus on urban areas, while programs for particulate matter tend to focus on viral areas. The federal Clean Air Act mandated the establishment of national ambient air quality standards, and requires areas that violate these standards to prepare and implement plan to achieve the standards by certain deadlines. Areas that do not meet federal primary air quality standards are designated as "nonattainment" areas. All of San. Joaquin County has a federal nonattainment designation for ozone and particulate matter. The Stockton urban area has a federal nonattainment designation for carbon monoxide. The recently enacted California Clean Air Act establishes an air quality management process that generally parallels the federal process. T'he California Clean Air .Act, however, focuses on attainment of the state ambient air quality standards, which often are more stringent than the comparable federal standards. The California Clean Air Act requires designation of>attainment and nonattainment areas with respect to state ambient air quality standards. All of San Joaquin County has a state nonattainment designation for ozone and PMI€}. The Stockton urban area has a state nonattainment designation for carbon monoxide. Severs public agencies are responsible for implementing programs or actions required by federal or state air qualm management plans. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (ARB) are responsible for setting limits on the emissions that motor vehicle engines can produce. The San Joaquin County .Air Pollution Control. District (.PCD) is responsible for regulating emissions from industrial and other fixed sources of pollutants. 1 15- With enactment of the California Clean Air Act, the San Joaquin APCD has additional authority to establish regulations for indirect sources of air pollution or to establish mandatory transportation control measures. The California Glean .Air Act allows the air pollution. control districts to wore with the council of governments to develop the transportation control measures that will be included in the air quality attainment plan. The California Glean Air Act also allows air pollution control districts to delegate responsibility for implementation of transportation control measures to any local agency. The California Clean Air.Act differs from the federal Clean .Air Act by emphasizing the control of „indirect and areawide sources" of air pollutant emissions. The California Clean .Air Act also. giveslocal alt° pollution control districts' explicit authority to regulate indirect sources of air pollution and to establish transportation control measures. The California Clean Air Act dues not define the term "indirect sources.." However, Section 110 of the federal Clean Air Act defines an indirect source as "a facility, building, structure, installation, real property, read; or highway which attracts, or may attract, mobile sources of pollution. Such term includes parking lots, parking garages, and other facilities subject to any measure for management of parking supply... Transportation control measures are defined in the California Clean Air Act as "any strategy to reduce vehicle trips, vehicle use, vehicle utiles traveled, vehicle idling, or traffic congestion for the purpose of reducing vehicle emissions." The California Clean Air Act requires preparation of an air quality attainment plan for areas that violate state air quality standards for carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, or ozone. No locally prepared attainment playas are required for areas that violate the state PMIO standards. The California Clean Air Acct establishes numerous requirements for an acceptable air quality attainment plan.. The major required elements are outlined below: o An analysts of present and projected maximum pollution concentrations, the distribution and frequency of violations, and pollutant transport contributions to sir quality problems. o Emission forecasts based on expected industrial, vehicular, and population growth. o A stationary source pelt program requiring no net increase in emissions from new or modified stationary sources that have the potential to emit 2 tons or more per year of any nonatta,inment pollutants 0 Provisions to develop area source and indirect source control programs. 0 Provisions for tracking and reporting emission reductions and ambient air quality improvements achieved by the plan. 0 Public education programs to promote emission reductions from transportation and areawide sources. 0 A demonstration that the plan provides for districtwide emission reductions of 5 percent per year averaged over consecutive 3 -year periods, unless an alternative measure of progress is approved by the B. Contingency measures to be implemented upon a finding by the ARB that the district is failing to achieve interim goals or maintain adequate progress toward attainment. 0 An assessment of the cost effectiveness of proposed control measures and a Tanking of measures from least cost effective to most cost effective. The features noted above are basic requirements for areas that currently exceed state air quality standards but which, in the absence of pollutant transport from upwind areas, would achieve �the� standards by the end of 1994. The ARE has identified employer -based trip reduction ordinances and parking management programs as reasonably available transportation control measures. The California Clean Air Act imposes the following additional requirements on areas that, in the absence of pollutant transport from upwind areas, would expect to achieve air quality standards after 1994 but before the end of 1997: 0 A stationary source permit program requiring no net increase in emissions from all new or modified stationary sources of any nonattainmerit pollutant. 0 Best available retrofit control technology for existing stationary sources. 0 Transportation control measures to substantially reduce the rate of increase in passenger vebicle trips and miles traveled per trip. Further additional requirements apply to areas that, in the absence of pollutant transport from upwind areas, would not expect to achieve state air quality standards until after 1997: 0 Transportation control measures to achieve, by 1999, an average vehicle occupancy or 1.5 persons or more during weekday commute hours. 0 Transportation control measures to achieve no net increase in vehicle en-dsgions after 1997. 0 Measures to achieve the use of a significant number of low -emission vehicles by operators of motor vehicle fleets. o Measures sufficient, to reduce overall population exposure to ambient pollutant levels in. excess of the standard by: at least 2 percent by December 31, 1994; at least 40 percent by December 31, 1997; and at lust 50 percent by December 31, 2000. The average level of exposure experienced during 1986 throu b 1988 shall be used as the baseline period for determining required exposure reductions. The Saar Jo quip County air quality management plan required by the federal Mean Asir Act was initially prepared its the late 19`70s. °T ie plata was revised and updated iia 1982. A further revision of the plan has recently been requested by the EPA. Previous air quality management planning in San Joaquin County was dame by the Sara Joaquin CountyPlanning Department, the Sala Joaquin County Council of Governments, and the Sala Joaquin County A CD. The California Clean Air Act makes the A CD responsible for preparation of the state -mandated air quality attainment plan. Attainment plans will be required for both ozone and carbon monoxide. San Joaquin County has been identified as bath a recipient of pollutant transport from other counties and as a source of pollutants transported outside the county. Consequently, the California. Clean Air Act provides a June 31, 1991 deadline for submittal of an air quality attainment plan to the ARR Because the California Clean: Air Act planes great emphasis on transportation -related air quality management issues, it will be necessary for agencies with land use and transportation planning responsibility o become actively involved is preparing and implementing the plan. Local cities in San Joaquin County should Have a more active role in developing the new air quality playa than they had during preparation of previous plans. If local cities and the county do not develop adequate transportation control measure. programs themselves, the Sart Joaquin County A -PCD may be required to implement countywide transportation control measures or other indirect source controls. The San Joaquin County Air Pollution Control District is now drafting regulations that would apply to all new indirect and aro#awide emission sources in the county, including residential and commercial development projects. A preliminary draft of the; regulations has been released for review and comment. The preliminary draft regulations for indirect and areawi e sources are patterned after existing regulations that apply to industrial emission sources. The preliminary draft regulations would require future development projects that exceed certain size thresholds to: o obtain an air quality permit from the APCD, o implement '"best available mitigation measures," and o provide. emission offsets for all direct and indirect ozone precursor emissions associated with the project. M Impacts on Ambient Air Quality Federal,., Monoxide Standards Carbon. monoxide problems are typically associated with areas of significant traffic congestion. `Ihe transportation improvements included in the Proposed CSP have been desY led to elitt nate and avoid traffic congestion problems, given the level of develapnxe rit provided for by the Proposed GP and cumulative future development in the Lodi vicinity - Analyses presented in Chapter 9, 'Transportation and Circulation," indicate that all major intersections would operate at Level of Service A, B,car C under cumulative and existing plus project conditions. Because carbon monoxide emission rates from motor vehicles have been declining and are expected to continue to decline over the next decade, locations with minimal traffic. congestion are unlikely to develop carbon monoxide problems. In addition, San Joaquin County has implemented a vehicle inspection and maintenance program to further reduce Vehicle ern.issions, In view of the factors discussed above, microscale carbon monoxide dispersion modeling was considered unnecessary for this EIR. Impact. Development associated with the Proposed iii? is not expected to create any violations of federal or state carbon monoxide standards in Lodi. Consequently, the impact of future traffic conditions on ambient carbon monoxide levels in Lodi is considered to be less than significant, Mitigation ation Measures o None are required. Signifleant Increase in. Vehicle Traps and Vehicle Miles °raveled from Cumulative Development, Thereby Adversely AffectingA,ttain.ment of the State Ozone Standard "Traffic associated with development patterns under the Proposed GP would contribute to existing ozone problems in San Joaquin County and elsewhere in the San. Joaquin 'Walley. The amount of vehicle travel and associated vehicle emissions have been estimated by extrapolating data from the cumulative conditions traffic modeling studies summarized in Chapter 9 of this EI (existing plus project conditions were not analyzed since the cumulative conditions represented the worst-case scenario). The computations used in this analysis are documented in Appendix ii. 'fable 15-2 summarizes vehicle travel and emission estimates for 1987 and 2007 conditions. Although vehicle travel associated with 2007 conditions would substantially exceed current levels, cumulative vehicle emissions are expected to show a significant decline due to improving vehicle emission controls. 15-7 The emission estimates presented in Table 15-2 assume minimal traffic congestion on both local and regional bighwa s. If traffic congestion increases on either local or regional roadways, 2007 vehicle emissions would increase above the amounts shown in 'fable 5-. Impact. It is not yet passible to estimate when federal and state ozone standards will be attained in San Joaquin County. Consequently, it is not passible to reach any definitive conclusions regarding the relative significance of ozone precursor emissions associated with development under the proposed CSI?. It should be noted, however, that the California dean Air Act requires development and implementation of an air quality attainment plan that would provide mechanisms to "substantially reduce the rate of increase in passenger vehicle trips and miles traveled per day" compared. to 1987 conditions. The estimates presented in Table 15-2 indicate a significant increase in total vehicle travel and an increase in average trip length under the Proposed CJI'. Consequently, the Proposed GP would have a potentially significant adverse impact on plans for achieving the state ozone standard. Mitigation a sures o Tbe City.sbould coordinate development project reviews with the San Joaquin County APCD in order to minimize future increases in vehicle travel and to assist in implementing any indirect source regulations adopted by the APC D.

The emission estimates presented in Table 15-3 assume minimal traffic congestion on both local and regional highways. If traffic congestion increases on either local or regional roadways, future vehicle emissions would increase above the amounts shown in Table 15-3. Impact. The beyond 2007 conditions would have a potentially significant adverse impact on plans for achieving the state ozone standard, for the reasons identified above. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. M The No -Project Alternative allows for somewhat less development than anticipated under the Proposed P. Although the amount of vehicle travel would be less than under. the Proposed: GA the absence of planned roadway improvement projects would result in greater levels of traffic congestion. Increased traffic congestion would probably result in greater quantities of vehicle emissions than would occur under the Proposed GP. The Higher.

Railroad noise affects the central and eastern portions �of the city. Noise industrial areas affects linuted portions generally Ambient noise monitoring.data were collected in. various parts of Lodi during 1985 and 1987. Noise levels monitored 50-100 feet from major roadways in L odi varied from 55 to 70 dBA during n-lidday periods. Existing and.futu.re traffic noise conditions in Lodi have also been evaluated using the Federal flighwayAdministration traffic noise predl tion model. Hourly patterns of auto and truck traffic were modeled for major roadways in Lodi under existing and 2007 conditions. Modeling results were used to categorize roadways in terms of CNEL values 100 feet from the roadway center line. Figure 6-1 summarizes the general pattern of traffic noise level.s under existing conditions. The highest traffic noise conditions occur near SIS 99, Kettleman Imine, Cherokee Land, East Lodi avenue, and on portions of roadways that serve as major access routes to Lodi from Kettleman Lane. Noise conditions were monitored for a 24-hour period 40 feet from the SPRR tracks about 003 mile north of Homey Lane. Except when trains passed the monitoring location, noise levels averaged 36-58 dBW. Noise levels averaged about 70 dBA during ours when a train passed the monitoring site. Railroad noise caused this monitoring location to have a CNL value of 73 dA. Existing Land Use Compatibilty Criteria The Noise Element of the. existing GP was adopted in 1979 and relied on the land use compatibility recommendations published by the California Office of Noise Control in 1976 (Figure 16-2).

INTERPRETATION NORMALLY ACCEPTABLE Specified land use is satisfactory, based upon the assumption that any buildings in- volved are of normal,conventional const:ruc- tion, without any special noise insulation requirements. CONDITIONALLY ACCEPTABLE New construction or development should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements is made and needed noise insulation features included in the design. Conventional con- struction, but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air condition- ing will normally suffice. NORMALLY UNACCEPTABLE New construction or development should generally be discouraged. If new construc- tion or development does proceed, a de- tailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements must be made and needed noise insulation features included in the design.

EXISTING NOISE LEVELS PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN (2007): IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Sacramento Road (2.5-3 dB), Turner Road (2.5-4 dB), Pine Street (2-2.5 dB), and Mills Avenue (2.5 dB). A noise -level increase of 2.5 dB represents a 19 -percent increase in apparent loudness, 3 dB a 23 -percent increase, and 4 dB a 32 -percent increase. Small increases would occur in noise levels along city streets, but most of the increases are not considered to be significant. Furthermore, the extent of noise -impacted areas in currently developed portions of the city would not change significantly. Noise impacts on existing residential uses appear to be greatest along portions of Turner Road and Harney Lane. The Noise Element of the Proposed GP contains the following policies and implementation programs to minimize noise impacts associated with future development: 0 Policy A-1: The City shall use the outdoor CNEL criteria on the attached land use compatibility chart (Figure 6-4) [Figure 16-3 of this EIR] as a primary guide to determine whether all or part of an e)dsting or proposed development site should be considered "noise impacted"; areas shall be considered noise impacted if current or projected exterior noise levels would classify the area as "conditionally acceptable," "normally unacceptable," or "presumed to be unacceptable" for the existing or proposed use. 0 Policy A-2: The City shall recognize that a CNEL measure does not adequately reflect the disturbance effects of intern�aittent noise events or noise sources that operate for only part of a day. Intermittent or discontinuous noise sources should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine appropriate land use compatibility classifications. 0 Policy A-3: The City shall require a noise impact analysis for development projects on sites that are wholly or partially noise impacted under existing or projected future conditions. 0 Policy A-4: The City shall require a noise impact analysis for development projects that may cause or significantly contribute to adjacent properties becoming noise impacted. 0 Policy A-5: Noise impact analyses required by Policies A-3 and A-4 above shall: be included in any environmental impact study prepared for th* proposed project; be the responsibility of the project applicant; be prepared by persons with adequate experience and training to properly address the noise impact and noise mitigation issues that may arise; include, at the discretion of City staff, ambient noise monitoring of the project site and adjacent areas for sufficient time periods and at UM LEGEND -- EXISTING ROADWAYS FUTURE ROADWAYS NOISE L _,,,EVE_LS fRNE0 1s 0 FEET FROM ROADWAY CENTERL€NE SELOW S$ dB waw 55 d0 to 80 dB s..� 60 dB to 65 dB +a a 65 dB to 70 dB *00 70 dB to 75d13 WS %$ OVER 75 dB _._.....

I the uses proposed for the noise impacted area are not noise -sensitive; and noise exposures inherent in the proposed uses will significantly exceed the pre -project ambient noise level; and the proposed uses will not create or significantly contribute to noise problems on other properties. Finding C: there are no other reasonable uses for the property; and the proposed uses will not create or significantly contribute to noise problems on other properties. 0 Policy A-9- The City shall apply the State Noise Insulation Standards (Califomia Administrative Code, Title 24) and Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code to all new convalescent facilities, hospitals, and single family residential developments in addition to the multifamily and transient lodging developments covered by the State Noise Insulation Standards. 0 Policy A-10: The City shall actively pursue opportunities provided by highway and utility construction projects to install or obtain sound walls or other -noise reduction measures for existing noise sensitive land uses located in noise impacted areas. 0 Policy A-11: The City shall establish a noise ordinance to regulate intermittent, temporary, or permanent stationary. oise sources associated with land uses in the City of Lodi. Implementation Program 1: The City shall formulate and adopt a noise ordinance, IM Traffic conditions associated with development accommodated by the Proposed GP would generally result in minor noise level increases, Few currently developed portions of the city would be shifted from a "presumed to be acceptable" to a "noise -impacted" category because of increased traffic noise. Proposed GP policies would prevent new development from creating additional noise -impacted areas in the City, Consequently, traffic noise impacts associated with the Proposed GP are considered to be less Than si0ficant. 0 lJ 16-7 FiC- UR 16--4.

Development of the reserve areas would result in additional traffic on local streets and state hi ways, Noise modeling analyses indicate that noise levels would be similar to those occurring by 2007 on most roadways outside these reserve areas. Higher noise levels would occur along Marney Lane and portions of Stockton Street, Hutchins Street, and Ham Une, increasing by 1.5-2.5 dB over 2007 conditions. Traffic conditions associated with development of the residential and industrial reserve areas would result in minor noise -level increases. Proposed GP policies would prevent new development from creating additional noise -impacted areas in the city. Consequently, traffic noise impacts associated with development beyond 2007 are considered to be less than significant, Mitigation Measures 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. IL,��stablishment. of Land Use Compatibility Criteria That Would Reduce Noise Impacts �,Yom the SPRR Line Under Cumulative Conditions Impact. Some of the residential reserve area identified in the Proposed GF for development after 2007 is located near the SPRR line, Residential development in the reserve area would thus increase the number of Lodi residents exposed to railway noise. Proposed GP policies would evaluate and mitigate impacts associated with development near sources of railway noise. Consequently, railway noise impacts associated with development beyond 2007 are considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures 0 None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. 16-9 Under the No -Project Alternative, the 1979 Noise Element policies and criteria would remain the basis for evaluating and addressing noise impacts in Lodi. The No -Project Alternative would allow less residential development and more industrial development than the Proposed GP, but new development would occur in the same general areas as allowed under the Proposed OP. Traffic noise levels associated with development under the No -Project Alternative would be slightly less than those under the Proposed GP. ne existing Noise Elemen4 bowever, provides less stringent criteria for evaluating and mitigating community noise impacts. Higher Growth Alternative The Higher Growth Alternative allows earlier development of areas shown as residential reserve under the Proposed GP. Consequently, traffic noise levels would increase more rapidly under the Higher Growth Alternative than under the Proposed OP. CHAPTER 17. Aesthetics. and Urban Design ONVIRM 'Dis chapter is concerned with impacts on two distinct but interrelated subjects: aesthetics and urban design. Aesthetic resources are the visible, physical features of the City which determine or define its desirable visual qualities. Urban design is concerned with the overall structure and coherence of the three-dimensional expression of the City, particularly with respect to unifying patterns, interrelationships among important physical features, scale, and character. For several reasons, aesthetic and urban design impacts addressed at the general plan level can only be assessed in broad, qualitative terms. There is great aesthetic and design variability among the multitude of specific buildings and landscape features of a city, thus the description, analysis, and determination and assessments of impacts are necessarily generalized. Detailed assessments of the aesthetic and urban design policies can only be determined at the project review level. � M I Like most cities situated within the flat, agricultural landscape of the Central Valley, Lodi is an island -like urban area. Due to the flat topography and vegetation screening from the surrounding orchards, views of the City are largely contained within its boundaries; visual quality is primarily determined by the nature of the built environment -- both buildings and landscape. 'ne extensive tree cover in the residential neighborhoods is the most widely occurring and important aesthetic resource. This landscape quality is central to the high visual quality of Lodi, and is in many ways the source of the community's strong attachment to small-town character. Many older homes, historic buildings, Lodi Lake, and the Mokelumne River corridor, public parks, and sections of the civic and downtown commercial area are also important aesthetic resources. Among the mix of retail and civic uses in the downtown area are a substantial number of historic structures, a potential aesthetic resource of considerable value. Unfortunately, a number of these structures are in poor condition and constitute aesthetic liabilities unless their deterioration is reversed. Several parking lots located on major street intersections create voids at critical locations, interrupting the urban fabric of downtown. Although some upgrading has occurred in the downtown through landscape improvements and pedestrian amenities, the area requires greater attention if the desired small-town atmosphere is to be retained as the City grows. Moreover, the growth of suburban shopping areas tends to decrease the vitality of the central civic and commercial core. Lack of 17-1 attention to this issue could result in a deterioration of the downtown area, a common problem in many smaller California cities. Bath the SPRR corridor (with its contiguous industrial uses) and the extensive segments of older strip commercial development have produced negative effects on both the aesthetic quality and urban form/design of the City. Although the residential sections of Lodi generally have a relatively high aesthetic quality, some have undergone infusions of multi -far iy residential units, characterized by larger structures unsympathetic to the existing residential scale and quality, and developed with inadequate and unattractive off- street parking; minimum attention to ether site planning issues, including privacy, screening of parking areas, landscaping in general; and a lack of clearly defined community space. In terms of urban design, Lodi has a well-defined alder downtown commercial core, but is laced with extensive strip commercial corridors along major arterials, several of which also contain outlying commercial centers. Over time, the overall coherence of the City has gradually eroded as a result of the development of these outlying areas and the expanding strip commercial pattern. By contrast, L,odi's residential neighborhoods are generally well defined and self-contained, and occur within a rather well-defined overall pattern and urban edge. However, as residential development expands westward, the downtown area will become increasingly decentralized, potentially reducing its role as the civic and commercial core. Lodi Lake and the Mokelum ne River give the northern edge of the urban pattern a strong and clear definition, much life SR 99 on the eastern edge of the residential and commercial areas of the City. There is, however, no natural boundary element to give either the southern or western edges a logical definition; thus, city farm along these edges must be defined solely through political choices. 'floe north -south rail corridor and SR 99 serve to divide the City into highly differentiated areas, and thus are major elements within the urban fabric. Similarly, but to a lesser degree, SR 12 serves to differentiate colder and newer residential areas. Ham Line also differentiates residential areas of different ages, but not in as pronounced a manners Changes in aesthetic Quality Change in Views From agricultural to Urbanized Uses Impact. Development allowed under the Proposed GP would result in the conversion of agricultural land to urban uses. Rural, pastoral views from the existing urban fringe would be modified as the extent of urbanization would expand to the west, east, and south. Persons residing at or near the urban fringe may consider the loss of the agricultural nature of land adjacent to therm as an aesthetic loss. Motorists' views from roadways 17-2 I J I I located at the existing city limit line would be modified. This impact is considered to be significantly adverse. 0 None are available other than prohibiting additional development. This impact is considered to be unavoidable, q gum Impact. Development permitted under a new general plan could result in an overall reduction in aesthetic quality. Remodeling and renovation of existing buildings and modifications to existing landscape, both public and private, and new projects in currently undeveloped areas could separately, and in combination, produce a negative change in the aesthetic quality of a number of areas within a city: entrances into the city, major streets, civic and public areas, the central business district, residential neighborhoods, outlying commercial areas, and industrial areas. Tile Urban Design and Cultural Resources Element of the Proposed GP contains the following policies and implementation measures to ensure that the adverse aesthetic effects associated with permitted development are minimized in Lodi: 0 Policy B-1: 'ne City shall upgrade the principal roads entering the City at strategic entry points through landscaping, signage, light standards, and other physical elements that identify and enhance them as gateways to the community. Entry points should be identified and designated on SR 99; SR 12; Kettleman Lane; Lodi Avenue; Lower Sacramento Road; Pine Street; Turner Road, and Hutchins Street. 0 Policy B-2: The City shall investigate joining in a cooperative program with Caltrans to landscape designated entry areas on state highway routes. 0 Policy C-1: The City shall develop special design standards to upgrade major roadways, including SR 12 and SR 99. Such standards shall include provisions for setbacks, signs, landscaping, paving, and upgrading commercial development along these streets. 0 Policy C-2: The City shall develop a street tree program, with an emphasis on enhancing major arterial streets and unifying the CBD, civic center, and other public areas. 'Phe street tree program should include strategies for providing street trees through boulevard plants on City property, developer - provided plantings on either City property or private property (front yards), and city -furnished, planted, and maintained trees on private property (front yards), 17-3 0 Policy E-1: The City shall prepare and adopt a CBD/Civic Center Design Plan as part of the citywide Urban Design Plan as set forth in Policy A-2. The plan should be designed to achieve the following objectives: assess the urban design potential of each of the vacant parcels in the CBD and establish an overall urban design strategy; provide a clearer visual and functional link between the CBD and civic center through unified street lights, street trees, street furniture, and parking; ensure that parking lots do riot destroy or dominate the fabric of the CBD/civic center area including avoiding parking lots at street intersections; provide unified landscaping (including street trees) in the CBD; establish design standards and design review procedures for ensuring that the height, bulk, setbacks, facades, entryways, signs, and pedestrian areas (such as courtyards and walkways) contribute to creating a coherent, attractive, and lively CBD; increase the quality and vitality of all public spaces in the CBD and civic center (streets, sidewalks, courtyards, parking lots, and parks), including the provision of landscape improvements (flowers, shrubs and trees), street furniture (benches, trash receptacles, drinking fountains and lights), and spaces for public art; develop public and private open spaces in the CBD, particularly with respect to tempering the hot summer microclimate with aesthetically pleasing, shaded exterior spaces; restore historic downtown structures consistent with the State Historic Building Code and better integrate historic structures into the CBD; upgrade the visual quality of the SPRR corridor within the CBD, particularly between East Pine Street and East Elm Street, through measures such as landscaping, improved building maintenance, and converting building uses from industrial to retail uses (including converting the SPRIG Depot into a civic -related function); upgrade the area contiguous to the Lodi Arch to reinforce its value as the key City landmark; and provide stronger visual and pedestrian linkages between the CBD/civic center and adjacent City parks, schools, and other open spaces. 0 Policy F-3: The visual impact of automobiles shall be minimized in all new development. 17®4 0 Policy G-1: The City shall provide home improvement incentives for upgrading landscaping and parking areas in the Eastside neighborhood. 0 Policy G-2: The City shall develop and adopt arebitectural and site planning guidelines for renovation and upgrading of existing multifamily units to achieve abetter "fit" of scale and massing between multifamily and contiguous single family units. 0 Policy -1: The City shall formulate and adopt guidelines, incentives, and design standards as part of the City's Urban resign flan for upgrading and enhancing the visual and pedestrian quality of existing strip commercial development, particularly along Cherokee Lane, Lodi Avenue, and Kettleman Lane, including provisions for setbacks, signs, landscaping, parking, and pedestrian amenities, 0 Policy I-1: The City shall formulate and adapt guidelines, incentives, and design standards as part of the City's Urban Design Plan for upgrading and enhancing the visual quality of existing industrial areas, including screening of industrial operations visible from public streets, site landscaping, and screening of parking lots. 0 Implementation Program. 1: The City shall adopt and periodically update an Urban Design Plan consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy A-2. N 0 Implementation Program 2: The City shall develop a coordinated program of signs, light standards, and markers to be used at entry points into the City. 0 Implementation Program 3: The City shall develop and adopt design standards for the major roadways consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy C-1. o Implementation Program 4: The City shall develop and adopt a street tree and civic area landscape program consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy C-2. 0 Implementation Program : The City shall formulate and adopt guidelines for enhancing the scale and quality of pedestrian areas consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy D-1. o Implementation Program 6: The City shall formulate and adapt a CBD/Civic Center Design Plan consistent with the objectives outlined in Policy E-1. o Implementation Program 7: The City shall appoint a Citizens' Task Force to oversee the formulation of the CBD/Civic Center resign Plan. 0 Implementation Program 8: The City shall formulate and adopt architectural and site planning guidelines for the upgrading of the Eastside residential neighborhood. 17-5 In combination, these policies and implementation programs would generally protect the existing aesthetic quality of the City, result in upgrading currently impacted areas, and increase the aesthetic quality of new development. As a result, aesthetic impacts associated with the implementation of the Proposed GP are considered to be less than significant. Changes its Urban Form and Structure DesignEstablishment of Mechanisms to Protect the Existing Urban Form and Structure of th.; City, Upgrade the Quality of Existing Buildings in the Urban Area, and Increase the Quality of New Urban Development Impact. Development permitted under a new general plan could result in a less coherent and desirable urban form and structure for a city. Intensification of existing developed areas and the type and location of new development could produce several kinds of adverse change: reduction in the overall definition and urban forma of the City, reduced pedestrian scale and small-town character, less distinction between the central business district/civic center and the surrounding areas, and diminished character and quality in residential neighborhoods. The Urban Design and Cultural Resources Element of the Proposed GP contains the following policies and implementation programs designed to minimize the adverse effects of permitted development on the urban forma and urban structure of Lodi: o Policies E-1, G-2, H-1, and 1-1, as identified above. o Policy A -1e `nie City should designate a continuous open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of Lodi to maintain visual definition and a clearly delineated edge to the City's urbanized area within its agricultural and rural setting, and to protect the scenic resources of the surrounding rural, agricultural, and natural landscape (including Dodi Lake Park and the Mokelunine River corridor). o Policy A-2. The City shall formulate an Urban resign Flan to guide the overall three-dimensional organization and quality of the physical devel- opment. This plana shall be designed to achieve the following objectives: identify and protect the major physical features that serve to define Lodi's small town character, such as the parrs, boulevards, public and civic areas, .historic downtown, and historic/aider buildings; identify and maintain the primary physical features that give the City its overall visual image and scenic duality, such as the street trees, 17-b older residential neighborhoods, surrounding agricultural lards, river corridor, and civic buildings; identify and enhance the principal physical elements that give the City its basic form and structure, such as the Central Business District (CM), key major streets, and railroad corridors; a organize the open space areas into a coherent system, including parks, schools, civic area., open space, and greenbelts within developments; and tr establish an interconnected system; of pedestrian and bicycle paths linking scenic resources with other uses. o Policy C3-1: The City shall establish guidelines for enhancing the pedestrian scale and quality of all public spaces, including streets, sidewalks, public parking areas, parks, and commercial areas. These guidelines should be designed to achieve the following objectives: maintain and enhance the pedestrian scab of commercial areas outside the CBI) through the design of building facades, courtyards, and pedestrian walks that provide shade through trellises, canopies, and awnings, and that are physically separated from parking areas and major streets; provide pedestrian amenities such as benches, trash containers, street lights, and information kiosks; m provide a visual buffer between pedestrians and public parking lots; temper the hot summer microclimate with aesthetically pleasing, shaded exterior spaces conducive to pedestrian use; provide shade trees in parking lets to temper the summer microclimate and to enhance the pedestrian scale; and - explore the potential for creating pedestrian landmarks (such as sculptures) and attractive seating areas. o Policy F-1: The City shall respect existing neighborhood scale and character when infilling and/car upgrading existing residential areas. o Policy F-2: The City shall promote the creation of well-defined residential neighborhoods in the newly developing areas. Each of these neighborhoods should have a clear fecal point, such as a park, school, or other opera space and community facilities, and should be designed to promote; pedestrian convenience. 17-7 o Policy F-4: New commercial and office development shall promote pedestrian convenience over parking considerations. o Policy F-5. Open space provided within new developments shall be configured to link with existing urban open space. o Implementation Programs 1, 5, 6, 7, and S, as identified above. In combination, these policies and implementation programs would generally protect the existing urban form and structure of the City, result in upgrading the quality of existing buildings in urban areas, and increase the design quality of new urban development. As a result, impacts can urban form and structure associated with the implementation of the Proposed GP are considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures o None are required. A Changes in Aesthetic Quality Impact. Impacts associated with development beyond 2007 would be similar in nature to those of the Proposed CP. Those impacted would change as urbanization would proceed further to the south and east. This impact is considered significantly adverse. Mitigation Measures 0 None are available other than prohibiting additional development. This impact is considered to be unavoidable. Impact. Impacts associated with development beyond 2007 would be similar to those of the Proposed GP but of greater magnitude. Development of reserve areas would result in additional buildings and landscape improvements that could potentially produce adverse aesthetic effects. Proposed GP policies and implementation programs would generally prevent such adverse charges, Haus the aesthetic impacts associated with development beyond 20017 are considered to be less than significant. 17-8 o None are required if the policies and implementation programs of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2007. Changes in Urban Form and Structure Establishment of Mecbanisins to Protect the Existing Urban Form and Structure of th_i� Upgrade Design Quality o; New Urban Development Impacts Development of reserve areas would result in additional buildings and landscape improvements that could potentially produce adverse effects on urban form and structure. In particular, the extent of residential growth to the south would tend to pull the center of the urbanized area further away from the downtown commercial and civic care. As such, the structure of the City would be increasingly shifted toward outlying commercial areas, with a likely adverse impact on the downtown area. Moreover, the additional industrial areas located to the east of SR 99 could have an effect on the types of commercial activities and the character of the downtown, simply due to their proximity. Proposed CSP policies and implementation programs generally address changes to urban farm and urban structure, with the exception of potential impacts on the downtown area. This impact is considered to be less than significant. o None are required if the policies and implernentation programs of the Proposed CSP are implemented beyond 2407. In addition, the 'Urban resign Plan required through Implementation Program 1 should be expanded to address issues related to downtown. No -Project Alternative Under the No -Project Alternative, existing policies and criteria would remain the basis for evaluating and addressing aesthetic and urban design impacts in the City, This alternative would permit less residential development and more industrial development than the Proposed GP, but new development would occur in the same general areas as permitted under the Proposed GP. Impacts on aesthetic resources are addressed in a very general manner in the Existing CSP, specifically through the 1973 Open Space and Conservation Element. This 17 - year -old element established a goal to "protect the scenic and cultural dualities which 17-9 characterize Lodi as ars attractive urban area," and includes a statement regarding open space areas '"which provide visual amenities." As such, the aesthetic impacts of the No - Project Alternative would be greater than those of the Proposed GP. The 19614 Master Flan for the Future Development of Lodi is now 26 years old, and is not an element of the existing GP. Tlius, since there is no Urban Design Element incorporated into the existing GP, urban design issues are largely unaddressed. As a result, the impacts on urban form and structure would be considerably greater for the iso -Project Alternative than for the Proposed GP. Higher Growth Alternative The Higher Growth Alternative allows earlier development of areas shown as residential reserve under the Proposed GP. As a result, any aesthetic or urban design impacts would occur sooner under the Higher Growth Alternative than they would under the Proposed GP. 17410 Safefv :. This chapter addresses hazardous materials issues within the CSP area. Fire hazards, flood, seismic safety, and noise issues are discussed in the following chapters of this EIR: o fixe hazards - Chapter IQ, "Public Services and Facilities"; 0 floods _ Chapter 12, "Hydrology and Nater Quality", o geologic hazards and earthquakes - Chapter 13, "Geology and Sails"; and 0 noise - Chapter 16, "Noise," Hazardous Materials Hazardous materials in Lodi are primarily the responsibility of the San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services. The City participates in the identification and cleanup of some of the city's hazards. Source problems in the city include leaking underground fuel tanks {particularly on private parcels), PCBs, and electrical hazards. One site, an evaporation pond contaminated with chromium, nickel, zinc, and lead, is currently listed by the California Departrnertt of Health Services for cleanup of hazardous materials. Lodi's roadways and railroads are used routinely to transport hazardous materials. The distance and frequency of transport are not known, however, The transportation of these materials is regulated by various state agencies, depending on the material involved, regulations deal with routes, safe stopping and parking places, labeling, packaging, and signage. Because of workforce constraints, only spot-checking is possible; yet numerous citations are issued. The City has taken measures to reduce the risks to residents of transporting hazardous materials, including enforcement of an ordinance prohibiting commercial vehicles from parking on residential streets (artless loading or unloading). The City Fire Department recently prepared a Draft Hazardous Materials Emergency Plant for the City, outlining procedures for handling hazardous material spills. The City provides clean-up services for hydrocarbon spills involving less than 40 gallons; cleanup of hydrocarbon spills of more than 40 gallons and of other spills are contracted out to private companies. The storage of hazardous materials must be consistent with the Uniform Building Code. Other conditions on storage may be imposed on an individual basis for uses requiring a use permit. The Sart Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services oversees inventory reporting requirements for local businesses. Hazardous Materials 1111'11111111�11111 '' Impact. An increase in the number of acres designated for industrial uses could increase the usage of hazardous substances in Dodi. In the event of a hazardous materials spill, additional residents could be exposed to a health risk due to the increased population provided for by the Proposed GP. The City's recently prepared Hazardous Materials Emergency Flan addresses procedures for cleaning up spills. In addition, the following policies and implementation program, contained in the Health and Safety Element of the Proposed GP Policy Document, address the use and transport of hazardous materials: o policy E-1: The City shall consider the potential for the production, use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials in approving new development and provide for reasonable controls on such hazardous materials. o Policy m2° Within its authority, the City shall regulate the production, use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials to protect the health of Lodi residents. o Implementation Program 7: The City shall adopt an ordinance requiring businesses manufacturing, storing, using, or transporting significant quantities of hazardous materials to identify such materials and their quantities annually. The City shall maintain a current inventory of such materials by location for use by the Fire Department and the Community Development Department. The Proposed GP Policy Document, however, does not include policies for updating the Hazardous Materials Emergency Plan. Therefore, this impact is considered to be significantly adverse. 15-2 Mitigation Measures o The City should add the following implementation program to the Proposed GP Policy document, The City shall maintain and periodically update the City's Hazardous Materials Emergency Flan, including coordinating with the County Office of Emergency Services. In addition, Implementation Program 7 should be deleted from the Proposed GP Policy Document since the Sara Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services currently collects information from local businesses can the storage and use of hazardous materials. This information is provided to the Lodi hire Department where it is stared on computer. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant, Adequate Emergency Preparedness d Emergency � Preparedness Impact. Implementation of the Proposed OP would increase the population potentially affected by an emergency situation and emergency response time due to increased traffic congestion. The following policies and implementation program from the Health and Safety Element of the Proposed GP Policy Document would reduce this impact to a less -than - significant level: o Policy Fal: The City shall maintain and periodically update the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan, including review of County and state emergency procedures that must be coordinated with City procedures. The City's current Emergency Preparedness Plan identifies the appropriate County agencies which the City should contact in the event of an emergency. chis plan was prepared based on state guidelines for such plans. o Policy 1M-2: Tle City shall conduct periodic emergency response exercises to test the effectiveness of City emergency response procedures, 0 Policy FM3 The City shall develop and implement public information programs concerning disaster response and emergency preparedness. o Policy Fm4: The City shall develop mutual aid agreements and communication links with surrounding communities for assistance during times of emergency. o Implementation Program 8: The City shall periodically update the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan. 18-3 Mitigation Measures 0 None are required. $ Hazardous Materials Impact. This impact would be similar in nature to those occurring by 2007 but would be of greater magnitude due to the additional acreage developed in industrial uses and the additional population expected beyond 2007. For the reasons identified for the Proposed GP (2007), this impact is considered to be significantly adverse. o Same as for the Proposed GP. Implementation of this measure would reduce this impact to less than significant. Adequate Emergency Preparedness Procedures Facilitated by Periodic Updates sof the Emergency Preparedness Plan Impact* This impact would be similar to that described for the Proposed CSP (2007). This impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Measures o None are required if the policies of the Proposed GP are implemented beyond 2€07.

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) would appreciate a discussion of the following issues in the DEIR. 1. A complete description of the planning area. This should include the role of agriculture in the local economy, the number of acres in agricultural production, and the current land use designations, (including identification of prime agricultural lands). 2. The method by which the city will encourage the conservation of agricultural lands. Please include the number of acres currently under Williamson Act contracts or Agricultural preserves, and how the Plan will affect such designations. 3. The possible mitigation measures to ensure that agricultural land is not prematurely or unnecessarily converted to non- agricultural uses. These could include use of a Right -to -Farm ordinance, deed disclosures, and a minimum parcel size for assurance of continued commercial farming feasibility. 4. The buffering measures to mitigate conflicts which can arise from the close proximity of agricultural and urban areas due to rlolse' dust, chemical usage, trespassing, and traffic. These measures can include, but are not limited to, setbacks, clustered development, berms, and greenbelts. 5. An extensive cross referencing of the policies related to agriculture included in other elements of the General Plan, (ie, land use, traffic and circulation, conservation, etc). 6. Please discuss the restriction of urban sprawl and any other proposed methods that limit premature conversion of farmland. 7.

The lead agency should also solicit comments from concerned local agencies such as the agricultural commissioner's office, the USDA Soil Conservation Service office, and the county Farm Bureau Federation office, since the above issues are not neceszarily comprehensive. The CDFA supports the right of local agencies to develop and implement land -use policy in its area of influence, but also wants to assure that agr4kcultural and is not prematurely and irreversibly lost due to development which is not accurately assessed for environmental impact.

David Morimoto City of Lodi 221 West Pine Street Lodi, CA 95240 The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has reviewed the Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR for the City of Lodi General Plan Update. The project is located in Lodi, San Joaquin County, and the surrounding unincorporated area. The project involves a major update of all seven elements of the City's General Plan. The General Plan will determine land use patterns for a 20 -year time frame. Current land use consists of a mixture of residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, and open space land uses. The Mokelumne River forms the northern boundary of the project. Riparian vegetation along the Mokelumne River provides habitat for a wide variety of fish and wildlife, Similarly, agricultural areas within the project area provide significant wildlife habitat. we recommend that the Draft EIR identify, discuss, and provide mitigation for the following; 1. The project's impact upon wetlands. The General Plan Study Area should be surveyed for wetlands by a qualified botanist. The General Plan should protect these sensitive habitats. we recommend the adoption of the policy of "no net loss of wetland acreage or habitat value". 2. The project's impact on State- or Federally -listed rare, threatened or endangered species, 3, The project's impact on unique habitats. These would include si gnificant oak trees, riparian areas, and other assemblages of native vegetation. The report should include a means of protecting these sensitive habitats, such as protective ordinances. 4. Cumulative and growth inducing impacts resulting from this project and their long-term impacts to fish and wildlife resources.

Morirnoto: Caltrans is pleased to comment on the Notice of Preparation for the EIR on the General Putt update. Caltrahs'com.ments are directed toward the transportation impacts noted on the initial stay as significant. Of particular importance are the impacts of land use de- cisions on Routes 12 and 99. Potential mainline interchange, ramp and intersection improvements necessary should be included as Litigation measures. The impacts and mitigation measures can best be addressed through incorporation co mp reh on sive: ira ffic analysis as part. of the EIR. In addition, funding for these r.o. as deea w .�for a future Project Study Report (PSR) for the Route 99 and Route 12 interchangeshould be discussed with funding defined.
