CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Consider the Appeal Received from Chris Keszler Regarding the
Planning Commission's Denial of his Request for a General Plan
Amendment to Redesignate a Portion of the Parcel Located at 451
East Turner Road (APN 015-230-28) from P -R, Planned Residential to
NCC, Neighborhood/Community Commercial and to Prezone the Parcel
C -S, Commercial Shopping.
MEETING DATE: May 5, 1993
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council conduct a public hearing to
consider the appeal of Chris Keszler regarding the
Planning Commission's denial of his request for a General
Plan amendment to redesignate a portion of the parcel at 451 East Turner Road (APN
015-230-28) from P -R, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood/Community Commercial
and to prezone the parcel C -S, Commercial Shopping.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Wine and Roses Country Inn is located adjacent and to
the east of the proposed shopping center site. The
shopping center developer and the owners of the inn
proposed to integrate the two uses into a compatible site plan.
The Commercial zoning at the northwest corner of Turner Road and Woodhaven Lane was
originally approved to accommodate the country inn. Shopping center development was
not proposed at that time.
On March 1, 1989 the City Council denied a General Plan Amendment and rezoning for a
shopping center on a 9.6 acre site at the southwest corner of the Turner Road and
Woodhaven Lane -Lower Sacramento Road intersection (i.e. site of MCI building).
Section 17.84.050 of the Lodi Municipal Code provides as follows:
"Disapproval Recommendation - Appeal to Council. If the report of the
Planning Commission recommends disapproval of the proposed change or
amendment or reclassification, the applicant upon notification of such
action may, within twenty days thereafter, appeal to the City Council.
After public hearing with due notice as provided in this chapter the
City Council may by a four-fifths vote of the entire council grant an
appealed application and adopt by the vote an ordinance effecting such
proposed changes or portions thereof."
The City Council may approve the General Plan amendment with a simple majority.
However, the prezoning to C -S, Commercial Shopping, requires a four-fifths vote of
the entire council.

EXCERPTS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
March 22, 1993
The first public hearing was the request of Chris R. Kessler and A.
Fred Baker:
1. For a General Plan Amendment to redesignate the parcel at 451
East Turner Road (APN 015-230-28) from PR, Planned
Residential to NCC, Neighborhood/Community Commercial;
2. To prezone the parcel at 451 East Turner Road (APN
015-230-28) C -S, Commercial Shopping Center; and
3. To certify the filing of a negative declaration by the
Community Development Director as adequate environmental
documentation on the above projects.
Senior Planner David Morimoto introduced this matter for the Planning
Commission and explained that the applicants have requested an
amendment to the General Plan from a designation of Planned Residential
to Neighborhood Community Commercial to accommodate a commercial
shopping center proposed for a 9.55 acre parcel at 451 East Turner Road
(APN 015-230-28) at the northwest corner of Turner Road and Woodhaven
Lane. The area would be prezoned C -S, Commercial Shopping Center. The
project would include a 49,000 square foot supermarket, a 26,000 square
foot drug store and several free-standing pads for smaller stores. The
applicants wish to tie into the existing Wine & Roses Bed and Breakfast
complex to the west. Mr. Morimoto read a letter from A. Fred Baker in
support of the project.
Vice Chairman Rasmussen asked if there was a staff recommendation. Mr.
Morimoto read a memorandum from the Public Works Department which dealt
with possible impacts, drainage and trips generated.
Commissioner Griffith voiced concern over the need for an EIR since the
general plan looked at the project area as residential not commercial,
a significant change.
Commissioner Hitchcock felt a negative declaration on the project was
not adequate and asked about the need for an environmental impact
study. She wondered about the impact on other commercially designated
land and if there could be a trade of this approximately 10 acre parcel
for 10 acres of residentially designated property elsewhere in the City.
Staff indicated that this would be possible if the Planning Commission
and City Council felt it is warranted. Both Commissioners Griffith and
Hitchcock felt there should be a new traffic and circulation study.
Commissioner Marzolf inquired what development phase the project is in
and whether the rezoning would affect the phasing. Mr. Morimoto
explained that the parcel currently is in Phase II of the Growth
Management Plan. However, that phasing plan only applies to
residential land.
E-1
Commissioner Griffith cited the time spent considering the General Plan
Update and felt the designation should remain residential.
Chairman Rasmussen then opened the discussion to the public and asked
if there was anyone in the audience wishing to speak in favor of the
project.
The first speaker was Kris Cromwell, 2505 West Turner Road, one of the
owners of Wine & Roses Country Inn. She stated she felt the project
would be an asset to the community as well as being compatible with her
bed and breakfast inn.
The next speaker was Del Smith, 2505 West Turner Road, one of the
owners of Wine & Roses Country Inn. He stated the future of Wine &
Roses Inn depends on compatible development to the west of their
property and requested the Planning Commission's support for the
project.
Commissioner Stafford expressed concern that the pads on the south side
of the project might be occupied by fast food businesses. Mr. Smith
assured him that that type of business would not be desirable.
Ron Bernasconi, 212 Evergreen, representing the applicants, felt a
major anchor shopping center will improve local economy by providing
200 to 250 jobs, capturing sales tax dollars and result in reduction of
cross-town trips, rather than increasing traffic in the area. Richard
Prima, Assistant City Engineer, reiterated that planned improvements
will provide adequate traffic handling in the nearby intersection of
Turner Road and Woodhaven Lane. Mr. Bernasconi pointed out that
changing the residential designation of the property to commercial will
relieve overcrowding in local schools.
Commissioner Griffith felt there would only be a slight economic
benefit from increased sales tax and doubted it would generate 200 to
250 full time jobs. He said 4 or 5 new shops could draw away business
from the downtown area. Mr. Griffith expressed concern about possible
vacant pads/stores causing the project to deteriori Mr. Bernasconi
stressed that this is a quality project by local developers who would
not abandon it.
Attorney Ron Stein, 5345 North E1 Dorado Street, Stockton, representing
the applicants, stated the staff study shows little impact and
questioned what issues should be addressed that require an EIR.
Steve Pechin, 323 West Elm Street, engineer for the project, agreed
that the Initial Study prepared by staff indicates no significant
effects and cited the Target shopping center as a comparable project
that was covered by a negative declaration. He felt an EIR would be
money spent uselessly.
Roger Stafford mentioned a letter that had been received from San
Joaquin Partnership supporting efforts to bring jobs to the City.
Vice Chairman Rasmussen then invited those in the audience who wished
to speak in opposition to the project to come forward.
Bruce Salsbury, 2501 West Turner Road, owner of the Salsbury Market in
Woodlake Plaza, questioned the need for a large supermarket. He was
concerned about competing with such a large store and stated he chose
his location because it was in a primarily residential neighborhood.
The second speaker was Pelen Stevens, 616 West Turner Road. She cited
heavy traffic on Turner Road, her concern for school children going to
and from school and felt there was no need for more commercial in the
area.
The next speaker Buck Lucas, 18196 North Davis Road, said Lodi is
losing its farm community character and didn't want to see another
supermarket go in.
Victor Goehring, 19353 Dei Rio Drive, Woodbridge, stated he thought a
shopping center in the area of Turner and Woodhaven would generate too
much traffic and urged the City to coordinate future planning with the
county.
Tom Gau, 2336 Eilers Lane, felt delivery trucks and other service
vehicles would disturb the neighborhood and felt a grocery store of
almost 50,000 square feet was too large for the area.
Lance Selkirk, 2323 Eilers Lane, was concerned about noise generated by
delivery trucks at night. He suggested a better use for the parcel
would be a retirement community.
Jim Reed, 2330 Eilers Lane, said the project would increase traffic and
felt it would not be good for Wine & Roses.
There being no one else in the audience wishing to speak on the matter,
Vice Chairman Rasmussen closed the. public portion of the hearing.
After some additional discussion, it was moved by Commissioner
Hitchcock and seconded by Commissioner Griffith that the Planning
Commission nct recommend certifying a negative declaration on the
Bridgetown General Plan Amendment and prezone request of Chris R.
Keszler and A. Fred Baker. The motion failed on a 3-3 vote.
The Commissioners then discussed further the negative declaration. A
motion was made by Commissioner Stafford and seconded by Commissioner
Lapenta to recommend certifying a negative declaration on the
Bridgetown General Plan Amendment and prezone request of Chris R.
Keszler and A. Fred Baker. The motion carried by a vote of 4-2 with
Commissioners Hitchcock and Griffith voting �'no."
Commissioner Marzolf then moved that the Planning Commissi;, deny the
Bridgetown General Plan Amendment and prezone requt-t ;,r Chris R.
Keszler and A. Fred Baker. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Griffith and passed by a vote of 4-2 with Commissioners Rasmussen and
Stafford voting "no."
Vice Chairman Rasmussen then called for a brief recess. The meeting
was reconvened after a 10 minute recess.

Gentlemen-,
As a local businessman and a property owner on Lower
Sacramento Rd. I am very much in favor of the project:
Wine and Roses Country Village.
The corner of Turner Road and Lower Sacramento Road is
a prime location for commercial and business usage. The plan,
that Wine & Roses developers are wanting approval on, would
truely enhance the existing development. And at the same time,
extend itself to the future needs of Lodians. Through this plan
they can achieve the maximum use of the property without
jeopardizing the romantic ambiance of the beautiful corner known
to all in Lodi, as the Towne PraFerty".

Thank you for meeting with our representatives last week to discuss the merits of our Appeal. We feel our project is
consistent with the general welfare and deserving of your support. Accordingly, we would like to clarify and expand
upon some of the issues addressed in your recent Council Communication.
Since July of 92 we have been working closely with your Staff and agree with your Staffs Initial Study, which
indicates there are no significant impacts associated with the rezoning. Please note, at the Planning Commission
hearing, in response to Vice Chairman Rasmussen's request for a recommendation; your Staff recommended the filing
of a negative declaration by the Community Development Director as adequate environmental documentation.
Then, Dave Morimoto read a Memorandum from Jack Ronsko indicating Public Works had determined that adequate
utility facilities had been constructed to accommodate the rezoning. Further, the Memorandum indicated roadway
improvements rents planned for Tumor and Lower Sacramento Roads would provide adequate capacity for the rezoning.
Attached is Jack Ronsko's Memorandum.
Finally, it is important to note that Comeussioners Stafford and Rasmussen acknowledged the need for flexibility in a
General Plan and additional commercial zoning in Northwest Lodi from a long-term perspective.
We appreciate your consideration of this additional information and look forward to working with the City to enhance
the quality of life we enjoy in Lodi as a result of your fine efforts.
Yours very truly,
CHRIS R. KESZLER
EXCERPTS FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES

�-s
`s
1. For a General Plan Amendment to redesignate the parcel at 451
East Turner Road (APN 015-230-28) from PR, Planned
Residential to NCC, Neighborhood/Community Commercial;
2. To prezone the parcel at 451 East Turner Road (APN
X: 015-230-28) C -S, Commercial Shopping Center; and
3. To certify the filing of a negative declaration by the
Community Development Director as adequate environmental
documentation on the above projects.
Senior Planner David Morimoto introduced this matter for the Planning
Commission and explained that the applicants have requested an
amendment to the General Plan from a designation of Planned Residential
to Neighborhood Community Commercial to accommodate a commercial
shopping center proposed for a 9.55 acre parcel at 451 East Turner Road
(APN 015-230-28) at the northwest corner of Turner Road and Woodhaven
!� Lane. The area would be prezoned C -S, Commercial Shopping Center. The
i project would include a 49,000 square foot supermarket, a 26,000 square
foot drug store and several free-standing pads for smaller stores. The
applicants wish to tie into the existing Wine & Roses Bed and Breakfast
complex to the west. Mr. Morimoto read a letter from A. Fred Baker in

The next speaker was Det Smith, 2505 West Turner Road, one of the

project. t
Commissioner Staffird expressed concern that the pads on the south side
of the project m:y:,t be occupied by fast food businesses. Mr. Smith

supermarket go in.
Victor Goehring, 19353 Del Rio Drive, Woodbridge, stated he thought a
shopping center in the area of Turner and Woodhaven would generate too
much traffic and urged the City to coordinate future planning with the
county.
Tom Gau, 2336 Eilers Lane, felt delivery trucks and other service
vehicles would disturb the neighborhood and felt a grocery store of
almost 50,000 square feet was too large for the area.
Lance Selkirk, 2323 Eilers Lane, was concerned about noise generated by
delivery trucks at night. He suggested a better use for the parcel
would be a retirement community.
Jim Reed, 2330 Eilers Lane, said the project would increase traffic and
felt it would not be good for Wine & Roses.
There being no one else in the audience wishing to speak on the matter,
Vice Chairman Rasmussen closed the public portion of the hearing.
After some additional discussion, it was moved by Commissioner

SUBJECT: Bridgetown Rezoning
We have met with the project engineer and reviewed our concerns over drainage and
V" WAlet CApSOV. The tfW* lines and basin were originally sized with the Park West
development the downstream portions of the facilities have been constructed. Based on the
conservative land use -as mptions for the Towne Ranch an0 Bridgetown areas we made at that
time and the fact that Towns Rench has been approved with only low►denslty development.
these facilities can 900=iodate the increase in runoff and wastewater from the proposed .
rezoning. In addition, we asked the engineer to recheck the calculations for the Towns Ranch
facilhiesy he found that no changsa are needed.
The net traffic generation increase for this rezoning is approximately 1800 vehicles par day.
With the planned roadway improvements forTumer Road an..' tower Sacramento Road.
adequate capacity w1A be available for this projeol.
There vriii be some total access issues that vdii need to be resolved at the she pian review stage.
