PLAN WIIIH A TWO
1 PERCENT GROWTH RATE
The Planning Commission at its meeting of February 8, 1988
recommended that the City Council establish a Growth
CC -18
Management Plan with a two percent growth rate along the
cc -27(a)
lines recommended by the Mayor's Task Force on Measure A.
CC 35
CC -46
In a related matter, the majority of the Planning
CC -53(a)
Commission felt that placing this matter on the June 7,
1988 General Election as an advisory measure was strictly a
City Council decision and not a planning matter. In the
legal notice for this Public Hearing, the City staff
J.
indicated that the Council would consider placing this item
before the electorate.
Council was reminded that in April, 1986, then Mayor David
Hinchman convened a task force comprised of 10 citizens who
represented a wide spectrum of viewpoints on Measure "A",
the Greenbelt initiative. The charge to the Task Force was:
"To study and recommend to the Lodi City Council,
unanimously if possible, a solution or solutions that would
guide and control growth with the intent to preserve and
enhance the aesthetic and economic qualities of the City of
Lodi ."
To advise the task force in its work the City retained the
services of the planning firm of Jones & Stokes Associates
of Sacramento. The task force has met monthly between W
1986 and July 1987 and, with advice from Jones & Stokes
Associates, developed the growth management systems
contained in the Element.
The Task Force's final recommendations were presented for
Council's review. It should be emphasized that the growth
limitation is aimed at standard single-family and
multiple -family development with senior citizens housing
projects specifically exempted. Commercial and industrial
projects do not fall within the parameters of the Growth
Management Plan.
