• CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for October 3, 2012, to Consider Introducing Ordinance
Terminating Reynolds Ranch Development Agreement with San Joaquin Valley
Land Company, LLC
MEETING DATE: September 19,2012
PREPARED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for October 3, 2012, to consider introducing
ordinance terminating Reynolds Ranch Development Agreement
with San Joaquin Valley Land Company, LLC.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In September of 2006, the City entered into the attached
Development Agreement with San Joaquin Land Company, LLC for
the Reynolds Ranch project located at the southwest quadrant of
Harney Lane and State Route 99. Since that time the activities that have taken place include the
annexation of the site, construction of the Blue Shield center and the first phase of the initial commercial
development including Costco and Home Depot.
San Joaquin Land is requestingthat the Agreement now be terminated. The circumstances which have
taken place that have led to this point are similar to those outlined by FCB Homes in their recent request
to terminate the two agreements they were a party to. Clearly, the real estate market collapse is the
primary cause. While the commercial development has been surprisingly successful in getting underway,
the majority of the Development Agreement benefitwas aimed at the residential portion of the project.
Staff agrees with the folks at San Joaquin Land that the residential focus will be years away from coming
to fruition and cannot be built as originally contemplated under the terms and conditions of the
Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.

cost of the Highway 99 overpass at Harney Lane.

854085-1 7
Version 6 8/23/2006
6.2. Permitted Uses. The permitted uses of the Property, the density and
intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, provisions for reservation
or dedication of land for public purposes, location and maintenance of on-site and off-site
improvements, location of public utilities and other terms and conditions cf development

Landowner acknowledges that the Project Approvals anticipate a mixed-use project that
includes office, retail, commercial, residential, public/quasi-public, open space, and park uses
as proposed by the Landowner. Landowner and City agree that the mix of land uses proposed,
including specifically the office development for Blue Shield and the retail development, are
necessary to provide an appropriate mix of land uses to promote economic development, a
jobs -housing balance and public welfare for the residents of the project and the City and that the
public benefits required of the Landowner in this Agreement are established at their identified
level based upon the existence of that balance. With regards to the property designated in the
Project Approvals for office and commercial development, Landowner agrees that during the
term of this Agreement Landowner will not request and/or pursue a general plan amendment or
zone change to authorize any other type of land use on the office and commercial properties
without first obtaining the consent of the City which the City may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, withhold. The obligation set forth in this paragraph shall terminate as to the office
property upon the occupancy of the proposed office development by Blue Shield.
6.3. Moratorium, Quotas, Restrictions or Other Growth Limitations.
Landowner and City intend that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this
Agreement shall vest the Project Approvals against subsequent City resolutions, ordinances and
initiatives approved by the City Council or the electorate that directly or indirectly limit the rate,
timing, or sequencing of development, or prevent or conflict with the permitted uses, density
and intensity of uses or the right to receive public services as set forth in the Project Approvals;
provided however, Landowner shall be subject to rules, regulations or policies adopted as a result
of changes in federal or state law (as provided in Section 7.3) which are or have been adopted on
a uniformly applied, City-wide or area -wide basis, in which case City shall treat Landowner in a
uniform, equitable and proportionate manner with all properties, public and private, which are
impacted by the changes in federal or state law.
6.3.1 Allocations Under City Growth Management Program
a. Allocations Required Priorto Map Approval
Consistent with the City's Growth Management Program, which shall apply to the Project,
except as otherwise provided herein, no tentative map for any portion of the Property shall be
issued until such time as Landowner has obtained allocations for each residential unit within the
area covered by such map, consistent with the Growth Management Ordinance (Ordinance
1521), codified as Section 15.34 of the City of Lodi Municipal Code.
854085-1 8
Version 6 8/23/2006
b. Schedule of Allocation of Residential Units
The following schedule cf residential unit allocations shall apply to the Project.
(i) Initial Allocation:
As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, the following number of residential units shall be
initially allocated to the Project from the City's reserve of unused allocations ("Initial Allocation"):
150 low density units (Planned Residential Low Density)
200 high density units.
Except for the requirement set forth in Section 6.3.1(a) above the Initial Allocation shall be
exempt from the provisions of the Growth Management Ordinance and Resolutions 91-170 and
91-171 (timing and point system requirements).
ii Subsequent Annual Allocations:
As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Landowner shall be entitled to apply for future
annual allocations in three-year increments, and on a rolling basis. Provided that Landowner
otherwise complies with the City's Growth Management Program, Landowner shall be entitled to
annual allocations ("Annual Allocations") under the Program for seventy-three (73) Planned
Residential low density residential units, each year, for eight (8) years after the Effective Date or
for the term of this Agreement including any extension thereto granted pursuant to Section 5.2.
The total number of Planned Residential low density allocations granted hereunder shall be
limited to the number of Planned Residential low density units approved in the Project
Approvals. The use of such allocations shall be restricted to the year for which such allocations
were made, consistent with the Growth Management Ordinance.
Landowner is not required to apply for such allocations on an annual basis. Landowner may
instead comply with all development plan and related requirements under the Growth
Management Ordinance and Resolutions 91-170 and 91-171 every third year, at which time
Landowner may apply for allocations for the next three-year period. After the expiration of the
year for which an Annual Allocation was issued to Landowner, Landowner may submit a request
and be issued by the City another Annual Allocation, such that Landowner may maintain, on a
rolling basis, a number of allocations equal to three Annual Allocations. Except for allowing the
Landowner this flexibility in terms of the number of years for which Landowner may apply, all
requests for Annual Allocations must otherwise comply with the Growth Management Ordinance
and Resolutions 91-170 and 91-171.
The requirement that Landowner apply for Annual Allocations does not alter the vested rights of
the Project, specifically as to the General Plan and zoning designation of the Project.
(c) Growth Management Ordinance in full force and effect:
854085-1 9
Version 6 8/23/2006
Except where otherwise specifically stated herein, nothing in this section 6.3.1 is intended to
modify in any way the City's Growth Management Program, including its exemptions under
Section 15.34.040 (e.g., for commercial and industrial projects, and senior citizen housing).
Section 6.3.2 Future Growth Control Ordinances/Policies, Etc.
(a) One of the specific purposes of this Agreement is to assure
Developer that, during the term of this Agreement no growth -management ordinance, measure,
policy, regulation or development moratorium of City adopted by the City Council or by vote of
the electorate after the Effective Date of this Agreement will apply to the Property in such a
manner so as to the reduce the density of development, modify the permissible uses, or modify
the phasing of the development as set forth in the Project Approvals.
(b) Therefore, the parties hereto agree that, except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Project Approvals, Sections 6.1, 6.3.1 or 6.4 or other provision of this
Agreement which expressly authorize City to make such pertinent changes, no ordinance,
policy, rule, regulation, decision or any other City action, or any initiative or referendum voted on
by the public, which would be applicable to the Project and which would affect in any way the
rate of development, construction and build out of the Project, or limit the Project's ability to
receive any other City service shall be applicable to any portion of the Project during the term of
this Agreement, whether such action is by ordinance, enactment, resolution, approval, policy,
rule, regulation, decision or other action of City or by public initiative or referendum.
(c) City, through the exercise of either its police power or its
taking power, whether by direct City action or initiative or referendum, shall not establish, enact
or impose any additional conditions, dedications, fees or other exactions, policies, standards,
laws or regulations, which directly relate to the development of the Project except as provided in
Sections 6.1, 6.3.1, or 6.4 herein or other provision of this Agreement which expressly allows
City to make such changes. Nothing herein prohibits the Project from being subject to a (i) City-
wide bond issue, (ii) City -Wide special or general tax, or (iii) special assessment for the
construction or maintenance of a City-wide facility as may be voted on by the electorate or
otherwise enacted; provided that such tax, assessment or measure is City-wide in nature, does
not discriminate against the land within the Project and does not distinguish between developed
and undeveloped parcels.
(d) This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the authority of City to
charge processing fees for land use approvals, public facilities fees and building permits as they
relate to plumbing, mechanical, electric or fire code permits, or other similar permits and
entitlements which are in force and effect on a city-wide basis at the time those permits are
applied for, except to the extent any such processing regulations would be inconsistent with this
Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), the City may condition or deny a
permit, approval, extension, or entitlement if it determines any of the following:
854085-1 10
Version 6 8/23/2006
(1) A failure to do so would place the residents of the Project
or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their
health or safety, or both.
(2) The condition or denial is required in order to comply with
state or federal law (see Section 7.3). .
6.4. Additional Conditions.
6.4.1. Timing of Dedications and Improvements of Parks
Landowner agrees to dedicate park land and complete construction of all the park
improvements as described and set forth in the Project Approvals at its sole cost and expense.
Landowner shall be entitled to a credit against any applicable Quimby Act fees or land
dedication requirments for the value of any improvements constructed or equipment installed
with the parks on the Property. The phasing of such improvements shall be in compliance with
the Phasing Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit H.
6.4.2. Rehabilitation of Fifty Existinq Residential Units
Landowner agrees that within eight years of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Landowner
shall either rehabilitate or pay the costs up to a total of $1,250,000 of rehabilitating fifty single-
family or multi -family residential units within the area bounded by the Union Pacific railroad
tracks, Cherokee Lane, Kettleman Lane and Lockford Street. To satisfy this obligation,
Landowner may pay to rehabilitate residential units owned by others or may purchase,
rehabilitate and sell or rent said residential units. The City shall have the right to approve the
residential units selected for rehabilitation; said approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by
the City.
The improvements required herein to facilitate rehabilitation of residential units may include
landscaping, painting, roof repair, replacement of broken windows, sidewalk repairs, non-
structural architectural improvements, and demolition and reconstruction of residential units.
All work performed pursuant to this section shall be done pursuant to properly issued building
permits as required by City of Lodi ordinances. As part of the annual review required pursuant to
Section 13, Landowner shall report on work completed during the prior year towards meeting
the obligations set forth in this paragraph.
In the event that Landowner has not satisfied this obligation within eight years from the Effective
Date, Landowners shall pay the City twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per residential unit
for each of the fifty (50) units that have not been rehabilitated as set forth above. The funds paid
shall be placed in a dedicated city fund to be used for housing rehabilitation grants or loans
within the area specified hereinabove.
854085-1 11
Version 6 8/23/2006
6.4.3. Payment of Downtown Impact Fee

Lodi, defined as the area described in the June 1997 Downtown Development Standards and
Guidelines plus the Pine Street Corridor extending to Washington Street. The funds provided
pursuant to this section may only be used by the City for grants or loans to business owners
within the "downtown" area for capital improvements to their properties. The grants or loans
provided through this funding shall be made available for disbursement beginning January 1,
2010. City shall administer the grant or loan program and shall be solely responsible for
disbursement of funds to recipients.
As an alternative method to satisfy the obligation set forth in this section, Landowner may
provide capital improvements (including, but not limited to enhancements to the building
architecture) to a commercial building or commercial buildings owned or rented by Landowner
within the Downtown area. In the event that Landowner completes capital improvements to a
commercial building or commercial buildings it owns or rents within the Downtown area prior to
January 1, 2010, Landowner shall be entitled to a refund of the funds it has paid pursuant to this
section up to the lesser of the value capital improvements constructed or the funds paid to date.

soft costs related to the capital improvements. To the extent that Landowner desires to satisfy
the obligation of this section through capital improvements to property owned or rented by
Landowner, the value of the improvements shall be a minimum of $210,000 assuming all retail
development in the Project is General Retail Commercial. This minimum amount shall be
increased commensurate with the increased price per square foot payable for the gross square
feet for "Big Box Retail Use" for each gross square foot of retail space used as "Big Box Retail
Use" commercial.

Party," and the party alleged to be in default shall be referred to as the "Party in Default." A
Complaining Party shall not exercise any of its remedies as the result of such Event of Default
unless such Complaining Party first gives notice to the Party in Default as provided in Section
15.1.1, and the Party in Default fails to cure such Event of Default within the applicable cure
period.
15.1, Procedure Regarding Defaults.
15.1.1. Notice. The Complaining Party shall give written notice of
default to the Party in Default, specifying the default complained of by the Complaining Party.
Delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default nor shall it change the
time of default.
15.1.2. Ciir . The Party in Default shall diligently endeavor to
cure, correct or remedy the matter complained of, provided such cure, correction or remedy
shall be completed within the applicable time period set forth herein after receipt of written
notice (or such additional time as may be deemed by the Complaining Party to be reasonably
necessary to correct the matter).
15.1.3. Failure to Assert. Any failures or delays by a
Complaining Party in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any default shall not operate
as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies. Delays by a Complaining Party in
asserting any of its rights and remedies shall not deprive the Complaining Party of its right to
institute and maintain any actions or proceedings, which it may deem necessary to protect,
assert, or enforce any such rights or remedies.
15.1.4. Notice of Default. If an Event of Default occurs prior to
exercising any remedies, the Complaining Party shall give the Party in Default written notice of
such default. If the default is reasonably capable of being cured within thirty (30) days, the Party
in Default shall have such period to effect a cure prior to exercise of remedies by the
854085-1 21
Version 6 8/23/2006
Complaining Party. If the nature of the alleged default is such that it cannot, practicably be
cured within such thirty (30) day period, the cure shall be deemed to have occurred within such
thirty (30) day period if: (a) the cure shall be commenced at the earliest practicable date
following receipt of the notice; (b) the cure is diligently prosecuted to completion at all times
thereafter; (c) at the earliest practicable date (in no event later than thirty (30) days after the
curing party's receipt of the notice), the curing party provides written notice to the other party
that the cure cannot practicably be completed within such thirty (30) day period; and (d) the cure
is completed at the earliest practicable date. In no event shall Complaining Party be precluded
from exercising remedies if a default is not cured within ninety (90) days after the first notice of
default is given.
15.1.5. Legal Proceedings. Subject to the foregoing, if the Party
in Default fails to cure a default in accordance with the foregoing, the Complaining Party, at its
option, may institute legal proceedings pursuant to this Agreement or, in the event of a material
default, terminate this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the parties may
pursue all other remedies at law or in equity, which are not otherwise provided for or prohibited
by this Agreement, or in the City's regulations if any governing development agreements,
expressly including the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement.
15.1.6. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated
following any Event of Default of Landowner or for any other reason, such termination shall not
affect the validity of any building or improvement within the Property which is completed as of
the date of termination, provided that such building or improvement has been constructed
pursuant to a building permit issued by the City. Furthermore, no termination of this Agreement
shall prevent Landowner from completing and occupying any building or other improvement
authorized pursuant to a valid building permit previously issued by the City that is under
construction at the time of termination, provided that any such building or improvement is
completed in accordance with said building permit in effect at the time of such termination.
16. Estoppel Certificate. Either Party may, at any time, and from time to time,
request written notice from the other Party requesting such Party to certify in writing that, (a) this
Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; (b) this Agreement
has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing, or if so amended, identifying the
amendments; and (c) to the knowledge of the certifying Party the requesting Party is not in
default in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in default, to describe
therein the nature and amount of any such defaults. A Party receiving a request hereunder
shall execute and return such certificate within thirty (30) days following the receipt thereof, or
such longer period as may reasonably be agreed to by the Parties. City Manager of City shall be
authorized to execute any certificate requested by Landowner. Should the party receiving the
request not execute and return such certificate within the applicable period, this shall not be
deemed to be a default.

LAFCo Findings of Significance
1. Purpose
The findings set forth below are made and adopted by the Local Agency Formation
Commission of San Joaquin County (LAFCo) as its environmental findings under Section
15091 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines relating to this project.
2. Project
This project under LAFCo review is the annexation of 236.4 acres of land to the City of Lodi,
with concurrent detachments from the Woodbridge Rural Fire District and the San Joaquin
County Resource Conservation District.
3. Environmental Record Being Considered by LAFCo
As a Responsible Agency, LAFCo has based its findings on the following environmental
document prepared by the City of Lodi, as the Lead Agency:
Reynolds Ranch Project Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2006012113)
4. LAFCo Considerations
The proposed Reynolds Ranch Reorganization has been considered by LAFCo within the
context of the above referenced environmental document. As provided in Public Resources
Code Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, where a previous EIR has been
adopted for a project, a new EIR is required only under certain circumstances. LAFCo
considers that the proposed reorganization has been adequately addressed in the project
EIR, and that those mitigation measures directly associated with the reorganization are
appropriate.
CEQA FINDINGS
A. Agricultural Resources
1. Conversion of Prime Farmland
Changes related to the conversion of Prime Farmland are set forth on pages 3.7-
27 and 5.0-1 of the Final EIR. The irreversible loss of agricultural land to non-
agricultural uses is a significant irreversible environmental change.

Version 6 8/23/2006
EXHIBIT I
AGREEMENT TO AMEND DRAFT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTAND REFRAIN FROM
CHALLENGING LAND USE PROJECT
THIS AGREEMENT is made this�`ilay of August 2006 by and between the City of
Lodi (City), a California General Law city, represented by the City Manager and City Attorney
with the limited authority as described in Section 1.A; Citizens for Open Government, an
unincorporated association (Citizens); and, San Joaquin Valley Land Company (Company) a
California Limited Liability Company. The Parties agree as follows:
1. Recitals.
A. The parties to the Agreement.
City is a General Law city governed by a five -member city council. For all purposes
herein and during all times during the negotiation of this Agreement the City Manager and
City Attorney have represented the City. However in this Agreement and at all times during
the negotiation of the Agreement the City Manager and/or City Attorney have lacked the
capacity or legal authority to bind the City of Lodi and/or the City Council. The parties
understand that throughout the negotiation and in executing this Agreement the City
Manager and City Attorney can only recommend to the City Council that it take certain
actions. All authority and discretion remains with the City Council over whether the City
Council will approve or disapprove of this Agreement. The City Council is scheduled to hear
the Project at a duly noticed public hearing scheduled for August 30, 2006.
Citizens is an unincorporated association that has commented on the development
proposed by Company. Citizens desire to have certain mitigation measures and
clarifications added to a development agreement negotiated between City and Company
that in the opinion of Citizens will further the interest of the City and the interest of the
public. If these amendments are added to the draft Development Agreement then Citizens
will support the Project, or will not make negative comments about the project's EIR at the
City Council public hearing, and will not subsequently challenge the certification of the EIR or
the Project approval in court. Ann Cerney shall be the spokesperson for Citizens and make
these statements at the City Council hearing.
Company, a private entity, is the applicant for various land use approvals that would
permit a Blue Shield call center, a shopping center and several residential subdivisions
(Project). The Project is more specifically described in the draft environmental impact report
(EIR). By approving the project the City will retain Blue Shield, which currently employs
approximately 600 to 800 workers and ultimately anticipates employing approximately
1,600 workers. The parties agree that retaining the Blue Shield operation in City is a
substantial public benefit and a benefit that makes the Project unique for the City.
B. Although Citizens are not fully satisfied with all aspects of the Project and EIR
it has balanced the benefits of the Project, including the changes to the draft Development
Agreement proposed in this Agreement, against the adverse effects of the Project and has
concluded that the project is more beneficial to the Citythan detrimental.
2. Modification of Development Agreement.
The parties agree that the draft Development Agreement, scheduled to be
considered by the City Council at the public hearing on August 30, 2006 shall be amended
as follows:
A A. Company shall request that Blue Shield and major tenants within the
commercial portion of the project prepare Transportation Demand Management Plans to
reduce traffic impacts. These traffic reduction measures may include:
i. Providing flex time and/or shifting work schedules to avoid peak traffic;
ii. Establishing carpools and vanpools;
iii. Providing preferential and free parking for carpoolers and vanpoolers
as well as ridesharing programs;
iv. Providing shuttle services from regional transportation (e.g., rail/bus)
stations to final destinations;
V. Providing subsidies for transit passes: and
vi. Providing locker room facilities for employees (i.e. bicyclists).
B. The Company shall obtain permanent easements limiting the use of real
property to agricultural or other open space uses and activities to be held by the City of Lodi
(Agricultural Conservation Easements). The Agricultural Conservation Easements shall be
recorded against an aggregate total of two hundred (200) acres of prime agricultural land,
involving one or more parcels of land, located within fifteen (15) miles of the Project site. All
of the land shall be located within San Joaquin County (excluding the Delta Primary Zone as
presently defined by State Law) and shall be in current agricultural use. The easements,
executed in a form suitable for recordation, shall be presented to the City Attorney for his or
her review for form on or before the first residential building permit is issued for the project.
The Agricultural Conservation Easements shall be recorded within three (3)days of the City
Attorney approving the form of the document and the City Attorney shall not unreasonably
withhold his or her approval. The cost of obtaining the Agricultural Conservation Easements
shall rest with the Company. In addition, the Agricultural Conservation Easements shall not
have previously been encumbered by: (a) any other perpetual conservation easement, (b) a
deed restriction limiting use of the Protected Property to agricultural uses, or (c) currently be
in use for agricultural mitigation; the site(s) must be subject to permanent restrictions on its
use to ensure its continued agricultural production capacity by limiting non-farm
development and other uses that are inconsistent with commercial agriculture; and the
easements shall be designated and maintained according to all applicable federal, state,
and local requirements, and shall not allow for any uses inconsistent with the goals of
maintaining agricultural uses and open space uses on agricultural land and preserving the
environmental integrity of the subject sites. City agrees to monitor the property subject to
the easements biannually through its planning commission to ensure compliance with the
requirements of this Paragraph. Company will pay City a one time fee of $5,000.00 to
compensate City fort eh monitoring cost/contingencies.
City shall notify Citizens of which site(s) are selected to meet the requirements of this
paragraph 30 days prior to the recordation of the Agricultural Conservation Easements.
C. The landscaping standards for the Blue Shield site shall be the current written
design and landscaping requirements and standards found in the City's Large Scale Retail
Design landscaping standards.
D. Home builders of the residential lots shall offer alternative energy features
such as solar features and electrical car charging stations or outlets as optional features
that each future homeowner may elect to purchase as part of the homeowner's option
package.
E. In designing and developing the specific components of the of the project, the
Company is committed to the design principles of "New Urbanism" adopted by the Congress

routes to serve the project area and comply with its requirements. The study would be
conducted as part of the development plan.
G. Eastside Investment: The project requirement for investment in Lodi's
eastside will be amended to require that any! units which are rehabilitated or replaced which
are currently at affordable rents for persons or families of low `income shall remain
affordable for persons of low income.
H. Funding of Water Supply. Prior to the acceptance of a residential subdivision
map for the Project, a Community Facilities District (or equivalent financing mechanism)

cost of the Improvements to the City.

EXHIBIT "A"
AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION EASEMENT SELECTION GUIDELINES
1. Soils: Farmland evaluated by the California Department of Conservation
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program as being "Prime farmland" or
"Farmland of Statewide Significance" will receive the highest priority. The City
of Lodi may also consider farmland designated as property that has significant
value to the regional agricultural industry regardless of soil characteristics.
2. Water: The property has a dependable and sustainable supply of high quality
water for irrigation.
3. The property is agriculturally vim:
a. The land is large enough to sustain commercial agricultural production.
b. The property is not substantially surrounded by urban development such
that its continued agricultural viability is threatened.
4. Urbanization pressure. The property may be subject to urbanization pressure.
S. Consistent with Community plans and goals. Existing community goals, plans
and political boundaries are compatible with permanent agricultural use of the
property:
a. The property is currently zoned for agriculture.
b. The property is outside the primary sphere of influence of a city or a
community service district.
An agricultural easement on the property would have the potential to have
a long term impact on urban growth in the area and encourage growth on
less productive farmland.

Commission questions Reynolds Ranch changes, delays
vote
By Chris Nichols
News -Sentinel Staff Writer I Posted: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:00 pm
Plans that could drastically alter Reynolds Ranch - and nearly double the traffic the project was expected to produce - were put
on hold Wednesday night after a lengthy and sometimes contentious Lodi Planning Commission meeting.
Commissioners delayed their vote on the changes until Sept. 10, with several noting they did not have enough information to
make a vote. They said they wanted to review a new traffic study that shows Reynolds Ranch would generate 50,000 daily
vehicle trips under its new plans, up from roughly 28,000 daily trips.
Others commissioners noted that by adding 400,000 square feet of additional commercial space, a senior care center and
trimming back much of the single-family housing plans, the project just isn't the same as what was approved by the City Council
in 2006.
"We're changing the whole character and nature of this project," CommissionerTim Matheis said. "And it seems the (city) staff
report and addendum arejust giving it a broad brush stroke of 'oh, no big deal.' But this is huge. Huge."
Reynolds Ranch is a 226 -acre residential, commercial and office project partially under construction along Harney Lane just west
of Highway 99.
It was approved by the City Council in 2006 with plans to build 1,084 homes and 350,000 square feet of shopping.
Both the project's developer and several residents who live within the project's bounds and are irked by the proposed changes
spoke at the meeting, held at Carnegie Hall.
"It's no secret that the residential market is not healthy in this country, especially not in this area;" developer Dale Gillespietold
the commission.
Road construction is underway on Reynolds Ranch south of Harney Lane near Stockton Street. Developers' plans to double the
project's commercial space were put on hold Wednesday night. (Dan Evans/News-Sentinel)
He added that there is "zero" interest in residential projects in the area, but that commercial retailers have shown a strong
interest in the project site.
The proposed changes won't affect Reynolds Ranch's obligation to buy agricultural easements, Lodi Planning Manager Peter
Pirnejad said.
As part of its development agreement signed with the city in 2006, Reynolds Ranch agreed to purchase 200 acres of agricultural
land to compensate for the loss of farmland in Lodi.
Several commissioners and members of the public praised the new plans to build a senior care center at Reynolds Ranch, and
noted more commercial shops would add much-needed'jobsto Lodi.
The changes, however, didn't sit well with Seng Heuansavath.
The father of six told commissioners he lives in his piece of "country heaven" on South Stockton Street, within the project's
bounds.

Commission questions Reynolds Ranch changes, delays vote - Lodinews.com: News Page 2 of 2
He and several others said they're angry that they'll "now wake up and look at the backside of a commercial building" instead of
the residential neighborhood they thought the project was building.
"It is very emotional for me;" Heuansavath said. "We're going to be sandwiched between two concrete walls."
I n other action
The commission voted 6-0 to allow live entertainment and dancing at La Luna Restaurant at 910 S. Cherokee Lane.
The city received two letters of protest against the plans, noting loud music blares from the business late into the night.
Restaurant owner Noe Luna said he conducts salsa dancing lessons every Friday night and Saturday night and has rented the
restaurant out for private parties in the past.
"I'm trying to stay in business like everyone," Luna said. "Idon't want to disturb the peace .. I'm trying my best to keep the
noise inside the building."
He added that he has hired security guards and has insulated the walls inside the business to cut down on noise.
