RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council conduct a public hearing to
consider the Planning Commission's recommended
conditional approval of the request of Steven Pechin,
Baumbach and Piazza. Inc. on behalf of Bennett and Compton to rezone 1235, 1237,

Planned Development District No. 31 to accommodate Woodhaven Park, a proposed 8.55
acre subdivision containing 28 halfplex lots, 1 triplex lot, 1 fourplex lot and a
parcel for future development.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The area encompassed by Woodhaven Park was originally
approved as a 133 unit apartment project. The developer
was unable to finance the original project and now wishes
to construct a development with a total of 63 units and a vacant parcel for future
determination. The Planned Development zoning is requested because in order to
accommodate the proposed units, rear and side yard setbacks and driveway lengths
must be varied. The developer also proposes to encroach into the frnnt yard with an
enclosed patio.
The Planning Ccmmission recommended that P -D(31) conform to the following conditions:
1. that rear and side yard setbacks conform to the requirements of the R -GA,
Garden Apartment Residential District;
2. that the front yard setback be set at 12 feet for enclosed patios;
3. that the length of driveways of Lots 48 and 49 be 171 feet from the street
right-of-way line;
4. that the front yard setback for the main buildings along the east -west street
be 171 feet from the right-of-way line.

2. LOCATION 18523 North Lilac Street A1111015-170-05. 07, 08 & 09
3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the request of the property owners the City of Lodi will be running
the four parcels listed above from their present x •ping at R -GA,. Residential Garden Apartments to
PD. Planned Development. A change in zoning.vas requested to allow for a residential subdivision
which will consist of 56 attached single family units or halfplexes. one triplex, and one fourpler.
This totals up to 63 dwelling units on 38 lots. The reason that the number of dwelling units is larger
than the number of lou is that each half of a halfplex is on its own property while each unit of a
triplex of forrplex is on the same piece of property (56 halfplet traits + one triplex + one fotuplex
63 units). The following defines a halfplex: A haWex is similar to a duplex in that each of the two
units are structurally attached The difference between the two is that each unit of a halfplex is
divided at the attachupent by a property line which allows for separate ownership. The project site
will have a total of 59 lots, one of which will remain undeveloped
4. General Plan Designation
(A) MDR Medium Densitv Residential
5. Site Description and surrounding land use:
The project consists of 7.5 acres of properties located at the north-wtst corner of Lodi, bordered by
Woodhaven Lane to the west and Lilac Street to the east Woodhaven Lane intersects with Lower

s. Result in an alteration or conflict with existing or planted land uses? NO
t Conflict with adopted plans, goals or policies of the City of Lodi? NO
Adverse impacts of the project and their magnitude:
7g. Violate ambient air quality standards or create substantial air emissions or objectionable odors?
During construction of the subdivision improvements and homes there may be substantial air
emissions in the form of dust and diesel exhaust due to the use of earth moving and other construction
equipment. The adverse impact on ambient air quality standards will be limited to the construction
period of the project. Traffic and auto emissions may also cause a minor impact to the aur quality.
7p. Substantial increase in demand for or utilization of public services such as schools or fire or
police protection? At this time the construction of 63 new housing units will not have a significant
effect on police and fire protection; however, additional housing units will increase the number of
school age children the impacted Lodi Unified School District must provide for.
7q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic Ioad, street capacity,
parking availabiuLy or traffic safety? A change in land use from %want farm land to residential will
increase the traffic impact in and around the project site. The traffic impact from the change in land
use will be significant but can be mitigated using proper traffic design.
Mitigation Measures to Reduce Adverse Impacts Identified by Initial Study:
AIR QUALITY: Construction of the project site as a 63 unit single family residential subdivision may
cause a small decrease in ambient air quality standards by increasing dust daring consuucdnn and vehicle
emissions from future residenes automobiles. Construction activities will create dust and diesel exhaust
that may create a temporary substantial impact on an area that was once vacant farm Iand. Chapter 13.
Air Quaky, of the City of Lodi General Pian Environmental Import Report states that "the City of Lodi
will coordinate development project review 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 APCD.'
The City of Lodi shall implement a number of mitigation measures prescribed by the San Joaquin Valley
Unified Air Pollution Control District in order to reduce the potential impact from fugitive dust due to
earth moving and other construction activities. The mitigations will be listed as follows:
• All material excavated or graded should be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of
dust Watering should occur at least mice a day with complete coverage, preferably in the late
morning and after work is done for the day.
• All clearing, grading earth moving or excavation activities shall cease during periods of high
winds greater than 20 mph average over one hour.
• All material transported off-site shall either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent
excessive amount of dust
• The area disturbed by clearing, earth moving or excavation activities should be minindzed at all
times.
• On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph.
Air quality will also be affected by an increase in vehicle emissions that will result from an increased
numbers of vehicle trips in and around the project area; however the impact will most likely be minor.
By implementing the mitigation measures listed above the temporary impacts from construction on air
quality will be reduced to less than significant levels.
PUBLIC SERVICES: At this time the construction of 63 new lousing units will not have a significant
effect on police and fire protection; however. residential projects of this sac could produce a significant
amount of additional school-age children Accord'...; to the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental
Impact Report this project will produce approximately 30 additional school age children These students
would attend schools in the Lodi Unified School District which is currently impacted die to overcrowding.
In order to mitigate the problem of school overcrowding the applicant will be required to pay any school
impaction foes that may be in effect at the time of approval. Payment of the school impaction fees will
reduce the impact on school facilities to a less than significant level. Police and Fire departments will
also benefit from development impact mitigation fees that will be used for increased staffing, equipment
and facilities.
CIRCULATION: Additional vehicle trips will change transportation patterns related to existing traffic
loads and street capacity in the inunediate project area. In order to mitigate the impacts from traffic
relateAproblenis. "The City shall review new developments for consistency with the General Plan
Circulation Element and the capital improvements program. Those developments found to be consistent
with the Circulation Element shall be required to pay their fair share of traffic impact fees. Those
developments found to be generating more traffic than that assun ed in the Circulation Element shall be
required to prepare a site-specific traffic study and fund needed iziproements not identified in the capital
ituprovements program, in addition to paying their fair share of the traffic impact fees.• The traffic
impact fee will be used to finance future improvements such as tratiie signals and street widening projects
for older intersections and streets recently congested by new development.
The project site is designated in the City's General Plan as MDR, Medium Density Residential, so its
circulation needs were projected with the proposed development in mind According to the City of Lodi
General Plan Environmental Impact Report, a halfplex subdivision produces 0.9 peak hour and 8.0 daily
trip ends per dwelling unit (a trip end - I way). In other words, the proposed subdivision will create
appra�cimately 57 one way trips during the busiest traffic periods of a day, and an overall number of 504
one way trips throughout the entire 24 hours of a day. The traffic impacts that will result from
development of the project will have a cumulative impact on the City as a whole; however, we believe that
the implementation of the City's improvement designs based on the General Plan Circulation Element will
be an adequate mitigation to reduce traffic impacts in the immediate area to a less than significant level.
