COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TM AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for February 6, 2013 to Considerthe Certification of the Final Negative Declaration, Adoption of the Lodi Land Use Development Code, and Draft Zoning Map MEETING DATE: December 19,2012 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for February 6, 2013 to consider the certification of the Final Negative Declaration, adoption of the Lodi Land Use Development Code, and Draft Zoning Map BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi adopted the current zoning ordinance in 1956. Since adoption, numerous text amendments have occurred in response to changing development patterns and concerns. However, the core elements of the 1956 document have remained intact. When the zoning ordinance was first adopted, the City was less than its current size and most development applications consisted of large tracts of land with hundreds of residential units. Today, the City is largely being developed with the majority of land use applications proposing smaller residential subdivisions or more modest commercial and industrial development. On September 7, 2011, the City Council authorized the release of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the update and implementation of the Development Code, which is intended to complete a process that began in 1999. The process was halted twice in the past mostly due to staffing and budgeting concerns. In December 2011, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Raney Planning and Management, Inc., of Sacramento to facilitate a comprehensive Development Code Update. The City has been working with Raney Planning and Management on updating the current Zoning Ordinance. The Land Use and Development Code update includes revisions in order to: • , Consistent with the City's 2010 General Plan O Comply with Federal and State laws O Improve the organization and usability of the Code O Eliminate inconsistencies and remove obsolete text. On July 11, 2012, a Draft Land Use and Development Code was released for public review. The Planning Commission held three sessions (July 11, August 8, and September 12, 2012) to review the Draft Land Use and Development Code. The Draft Development Code was distributed to the Planning Commission in three segments. The first at the July 7th meeting included the introduction, residential districts and mixed use zoning districts. At the Commission's August 8th, the commercial and industrial districts were introduced. On the last meeting, the staff presented landscape ordinance, parking and sing standards, and standards for specific land uses such as child day care facilities, recycling facilities, telecommunication facilities etc. The entire Plan as described has been made available on the web -site with notification being made by both newspaper and to the mailing list of interested parties. Communicationst2012 4 APPROVED: r 17�:►"-" Konradt Bartlam, City Manager Since July 11, 2012, approximately 6 to 8 residents and other interested parties met with staff to discuss the proposed zoning amendments. At the conclusion of these workshops, and in response to feedback received, the Draft Development Code was revised further. Prior to this hearing, a hard copy of the Development Code incorporating all the changes has been made available for public review and distributed to interested parties. In addition, a copy of the zoning map was distributed and made public on the City's website. At the Planning Commission Meeting of October 10, 2012, the Commission reviewed the document in it's entirety, including the draft zoning map and the associated negative declaration prepared for the. After the Commission completed its review of the proposed Draft Development Code, Commission adopted a resolution recommending the City Council approve the Draft Development Code, Draft Zoning Map and Negative Declaration. Any additional changes requested by the Commission would be included in the motion to approve the resolution. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
