BACKGROUND INFORMATION: One of the recommendations of Lodi's Downtown Revitalization Consultant, Michael Freedman was to downzone the area west of the Central Business District which was designated for office use. This action had two purposes. First, it would reduce the area in the central city available for office use and would encourage office uses on second floor in the business district. Secondly, it would preserve a residential area which is important to both the downtown and the community. After reviewing Mr. Freedman's request the Planning Commission initiated the downzoning of the area generally south of the alley between Pine and Oak Streets to the commercial property along Lodi Avenue between Church and Hutchins Streets. The Planning Commission's recommendation does not include any properties zoned C-2, General Commercial, or C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, nor properties already used for office purposes along West Pine Street, West Elm Street or North Pleasant Avenue.

Upon motion of.Comn usswner Hitchcock. seconded by Commissioner Lapenta., and • MINUTES unanimously passed, Chairman Stafford declared the Minutes of the Regular Session of SEPT. 12.1994 September 12, 1994 approved as mailed. Due to the expected hengtb of the scheduled public hearing the next agenda item, "Special AGENDA ITEM Presentation - Review of City Bustin Routes" was moved to the end of the agenda. MOVED PUBLIC BEARING The public hearing was to consider the requests of the Lodi City Planning Commission to GENERAL. PLAN (1) amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan to redesignate from "O", Office- AMENDMENT Institutional to "E -R", Eastside - Residential certain parcels generally located in the area REZONING bounded by Pine Street, Church Street, Lodi Avenue, and Hutchins Street (2) to rezone from R- C -p, C -P, Residential -Commercial -Professional to R- I*. Single Family Residential - Eastside the NEGATIVE same partials, and (3) to certify the filing of a negative declaration by the Community DECLARATION Development Director as adequate environmental documentation on the above projects. Senior R -C -P AREA Planner Morimoto introduced the matter for the Planning Commission. He described the areas BOUNDED BY included in the request. He stated that the staff study concentrated on a core arra where most of PINE ST, CHURCH the properties are still residential and excluded arras like Pine Street and North Pleasant Avenue ST, LODI AVE dt where the majority of properties have already been converted to office uses.. Conmusaiona Hitchcock asked what the effect would be on properties currently used for HUTCHINS ST business. Senior Planner Morimoto indicated that any property that had already bees converted to an office or apartment world be considered conforming under the downzoning. This would not necessarily include "Hone Occupations" or businesses run out of a regular house. Commissioner Schmidt inquired as to the reason for the proposed downzoning. Chairman Stafford stated that the downtown revitalization study encourages the location of offices in the downtown area where the bulk of office space currently is vacant. The Freedman study saw the housing stock in the area immediately west of downtown as desirable older, well maintained homes which should be retained as residential stock. Chairman Stafford then opened the hearing to the public. The first speaker was James Griffith, 1020 Bradford Circle. He suggested that the area along Pine Street north of the arra under consideration should be included in the downzoning. He spoke in favor of the rezoning and felt PCR'R9417DOC it would help maintain the quality bousing in the area. IU Acct speaker, Robin Knowlton, 410 West Oak Street, was in favor of the rem ii . Sbe stated that office conversions IEave buildings in the area unoccupied at night, eating a neighborhood safety -problem. Conversion diminishes the sense of ne0borbood acid adversely affect surrounding properties. Ma third speaker was Phil White who has a small psycboiogy practice and also resides at 232 South Hutchins Street. Mr. White inquired how staff bad determined which bosses bad busimessex. Mr. Morknoto stated that staff had conducted a visual survey of the arra. Mr. White was concerted that if the downxoning is approved be might not be able to use the property solely for a business office should be decide to move his residence ftm the arra. He stated be bad called the police at least 50 times in the last year because of disturbances .1 F I by the adjacent Jack-inAlk—i.Box w d felt the area is no longer desireable as a residential arra. He also cited the future widening of Hutcbms; Streit leaving very narrow fr out yards in moat caves as making the era unsuitable for residential use. He said his lot is deep enotto to aecotm ochre several parlmd cars in the rear. Corummiontx Sdmu& asked staff about the current R -CP zoning Staff ecplame d the pertnitted Uses Phil White returned to express disagreement with the plan to dowrtzone the area to force businesses to locate downtown. He felt it was unfair to property owners and requested that his property be excluded from the downzone plan. Representing Mr. and Mrs. Don Campbell, owners of a vacant16,000 square foot pared at 420 West Wabwt Street, Lynette Scherer felt the rezoning would decrease the value of the property. She said the size of the parcel makes it inappropriate for a single-family borne and requested that the property be deleted from the area to be re=v4. Hal Jones, 235 South Hutchins stated he purchased his property because of the office - residential zoning. He cited the noise from Lodi Avenue as making the area unsuitable for residential use and felt R -C -P zoning is a good buffer between conunercial and residential user. He requested that his property and the property next door at 241 South Hutchins be allowed to remain R -C -P. Lance Robinson, a business owner residing at 25 South Hutchins Street disagreed that that the types of businesses in the arca downgrade the neighborhood and asked to be excluded from the 8 - Don Shephard, 215 South California Street, congratulated the City for taking action to preserve the residential character of the area. He voiced his support for the rezoning. Pat Santoni, 323 West Oak Street stated she has worked in real estate and is interested in downtown revitalization but is curious as to who or what type of businesses will be drawn to downtown. She wanted to know NOW has been accomplished as a result of the Freedman study and the workshops. In response to Ms. Santoni's inquiry, Commissioner Hitchcock said a lot is going on behind the scenes that most people are not aware of She also indicated her interest in the downxoning proposal is primarily to preserve the older residences rather than to promote downtown revitalization. Commissioner L,apenta who said he is a downtown merchant noted that he is impressed with the downtown revitalization effort, but also has questions about some of the recommendations. He is, however, willing to consider all proposals. Mr. L.apenta invited the public to attend the PCN99417.DOC Agftk ANIM DLBA matings adding that many of their questions about the.progress of the downtown effort could be answered at these matings. Gerald Hanning, property owner and resident of 207 South Hutduins Stmt said he was the only one of his neiglmbors willing to sell the City frontage for a right-of-way to wider South Hutchins Stmt. He stated he wished to be diminated from the list of downzone properties sins his property had already been converted to an in gallery.. Chairman Stafford then read a list of permitted uses in Bre R -C -P zone. Jean Macaluso. 232 South La Avenue states she purchased her home because of the R -CP zone thinking she might open a business. She wishes to mnain zoned R -C -P. Chairman Stafford thea closed the public portion or the hearing and returned the discussion to the Commission. In response to a question about the number of businesses in the area, Senior Planner Morimoto stated the study had determined that out of 109 parcels in the area, 16 had a residential use other than single-family (apartments, dupkxes, etc.X 13 had office -institutional Is (offices, a school and two churches). Commissioner Schmidt indicated his support of rte dovnrzare excluding the area south of Walnut Street to Lodi Avenue. Commissioner Lapenta voiced his preference to approve the dowazone except the block of Hutchins Street between Walnut Strad and Lodi Avenue. He also said he would lace a stay done on the Pine Street corridor that was not included in this request. Commissioner McGladdery felt it was wise to exclude from the dowruzone area Hutchins Street, Lodi Avenue north to Oak Street to include a couple of business type uses on the northwest and northeast corners of Hutchins and Oak Streets. Chairman Stafford was concerned that eliminating the Hutchins Street properties South of Walnut Street from the downzone request would create a small island of R -C -P. Commissioner Hitchcock felt the Commission should take another look at the area not included in the request between Lee and Hutchins on both sides of Pine Street. Following some additional discussion, on a uiotim by Commissioner Hitchcock, second by Commissioner Marzolf, the Commission unanimously voted to recommend to the City Council certification of a negative declaration on the proposed downzone project. 7be Commission then, on a motion by Commissioner Hitchcock, second by Commissioner Schmidt, unanimously approved reconunending to the City Council amending the land use dement of the General Plan to redesignate from "0", Office Institutional to E -R, Eastside Residential the following properties: 200,210 and 220 West Oak Street; 300 and 400 blocks of West Oak Street; 200, 300 and 400 blocks of West Walnut Strew except 420 West Walnut Street; 104 through 233 South Pleasant Avenue; 112 through 237 South Lee Avenue; 9 North Hutchins Street; 503 through 510 West Pine Street; and 5 through 25 South Hutchins Stred.
