MEETING DATE: June 4, 1997 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation to adopt the Downtown Development Standards and Guidelines. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Downtown Development Standards and Guidelines have been prepared in order to fully implement the concept plan for Downtown. Currently, the public improvement phase of the program is underway. This first phase is only the beginning in seeing the revitalization of Lodi's central core. In order for Downtown to be successful in the future, investment in private property is required. Just as a public improvement has a set of plans which implement the goals of the program, so too must the private sector. It is with this background, a number of specific directions from the concept plan and a set of solid design principles, that the Downtown Development Standards and Guidelines have been developed. The City Council may recall that staff presented a draft of this document at the shirtsleeve meeting on February 25, 1997. Since that time, staff has continued to present the document to various groups including the Central City Task Force and the Lodi Downtown Business Association (LDBA). Both groups have endorsed the plan as being necessary and useful. The formal public review began in March 1997 with a presentation to the Site Plan & Architectural Review Committee (SPARC) and a public hearing in front of the Planning Commission on April 14, 1997. Both the Committee and Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the document. The Commission did suggest one modification dealing with the name of the report to better reflect the contents. FUNDING: None required.
