COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Set A Public Hearing For February 7, 2010 To Consider The Certification Of
The Final Environmental Impact Report And The Adoption Of The General Plan
MEETING DATE: February3,2010
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set a Public Hearing for February 17, 2010 to consider the
certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report and the
adoption of the General Plan.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council received a presentation on the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and General Plan at the
January 6, 2010 meeting. The City Council received one public comment at the meeting from Mr.
Bruce Fry regarding land use designations for property south of Harney Lane. Subsequent to the
meeting, the public comment period closed for comments related to the DEIR. We received 44 letters
from a combination of citizens and public agencies. We are finalizing the response to comments and
will have the Final EIR prepared at least 10 days priorto the Public Hearing.
In May 2006, the City entered into an agreement with the consulting firm of Dyett & Bhatia to prepare
the update to the General Plan and an Environmental Impact Report. The firm and their sub -
consultants have been working diligently on this program since that time. Completed work includes
the following activities:
Public Participation
• Workshops and Meetings with interested public;
• Workshops specifically with the Planning Commission and City Council;
• Stakeholder interviews and neighborhood meetings;
• Presentations to service clubs and community organizations;
• Newsletters;
• A mail -in survey sent to all residential addresses in the City;
• Comments via e-mail, and;
• The projectWebsite.
Products
• Working Paper#1: Land Use, Transportation, Environmentand Infrastructure;
• Working Paper#2: Urban Design and Livability;
• Working Paper #3: Growth and Economic Development Strategy;
• Working Paper#4: Greenbelt Conservation Strategies;
• Sketch Plan Report indentifying alternative land use scenarios;
• Preferred Land Use Plan;
• Draft Environmental Impact Report, and;
Approved:
Blair King, nager
• Draft General Plan.
The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was released for public review and comment on
November 25, 2009. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the Draft shall be available
for comment for no less than 45 days. This meeting will enable interested parties to provide comment
that will be included in the final document. The Planning Commission has had the opportunity to take
comment as well as provide comment at its December 9, 2009 meeting. The Final Environmental
Impact Reportwill be providedto the City Council at the time of its deliberation on the General Plan.
As with all EIRs, this document assesses the potential impacts the proposed General Plan may have
on specific environmental topics. This has been done on a program level rather than the detail
required with specific development projects. This DEIR also addresses alternatives to the Draft
General Plan including a No Project scenario. As a result of the environmental review, there are
several changes that are being proposed to the Draft General Plan policies. We believe these
changes are necessary as mitigation in order to help reduce or clarify certain impacts created by the
plan's implementation.
The Draft General Plan was distributed to the Planning Commission in two segments. The first at the
August 26, 2009 meeting included the Introduction, Land Use, Community Design & Livability, Parks,
Recreation & Open Space, Conservation and Safety chapters. At the Commission's September 9,
2009 meeting, the remaining chapters of the Draft General Plan were distributed including Growth
Management & Infrastructure, Transportation, Noise and the Implementation Appendix. The one
chapter that has not been completed and will be on a separate review program is the Housing
Element. The entire Plan as described has been made available on the Website with notification being
made through the Lodi News Sentinel and by mailing and emailing to the list of interested parties.
The Planning Commission had public hearings on September 23, October 14, October 28 and
December 9, 2009. During these hearings few public comments were received. Staff has also
presented the Draft General Plan to several of the City's boards and commissions. To date the only
written comment received was from the Parks and Recreation Commission, which is requesting an
additional policy be included in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space element dealing with on going
park maintenance funding.
