BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The property was originally annexed into Lodi on April 25, 1996 as part of the Crossroads Annexation. This included the subject property as well as the southwest corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane. In addition to annexation, the City designated the area as Commercial Shopping and the property along Taylor Road and Westgate as residential. All Air Quality, Biological and Agricultural mitigation were satisfied during the annexation process. The project paid all development impact fees with the development of the Lowe's Shopping Center. Subsequently, the 2010 General Plan designated the property low-density residential with a density of 2 — 8 units per acre. As part of the City's Growth Management program and subdivision map approval process, the Planning Commission reviews the requests that have been submitted to the City. Following a public hearing, the Commission makes a recommendation for City Council consideration. On August 26, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the 2015 Residential Growth Management Development Allocation. At this hearing the Planning Commission reviewed a request by Vintners Square LLC, The Grupe Company for (i) Growth Management Allocation for 22 Low -Density Residential Lots; (ii) a Subdivision Map for the Vintner Square Subdivision, a 9 -acre, 57 -unit subdivision; and (iii) adopted Development Standards for the subdivision known as Vintner Square located within Low -Density Residential Zoning District. The Commission received a staff report, heard as well as the applicant, opened the hearing opposition to the application, closed the public the staff presentation, asked questions of staff to the public for testimony in support and in hearing and voted 7-0 to recommend the City APPROVED: f Step n Ii'W-Aker, Ce Manager Council approve the applicant's request for 22 Low -Density Residential growth management allocation units. ANALYSIS The subject site consists of two parcels totaling nine acres. To the western portion of the property is a 3 -acre detention basin that the City is considering to vacate. Taylor Road forms the northern property border, to the east is Lower Sacramento Road, to the west is Westgate Lane and to the south is the Lowe's shopping center. Along the north of Taylor Road are unincorporated rural properties that are identified to ultimately annex to the City. The proposed Tentative Map would subdivide the project parcel into 57 low-density residential single-family lots, one private lot for an open space / park lot and associated public and private roadways. The size and shape of the subject project area makes an efficient lotting design difficult. The applicant has proposed a number of lotting designs and ultimately decided to not try to compete with the housing product in Rose Gate, Van Ruiten Ranch and Reynolds Ranch. ALLOCATION The Vintner Square property was allocated 35 units in 2004. The applicant is requesting 22 additional units to construct the full project. The allocation system gives priority through point assignments to projects that reduce impacts on services, infrastructure, and resources. The ordinance sets an annual growth limit of two percent of the City's population, compounded annually. Once the number of allocable units is figured, the City requires that the allocation units be distributed among housing types as follows; 44 percent low density, 28 percent medium density and 28 percent high density (GM -134). The following calculation explains the current City population of 63,719 as of January 1, 2015 and 447 units available for 2015: Growth Allocations for 2013 and 2014 were higher because the persons per household was lower. New Department of Finance numbers show Lodi at 2.85 persons per household in 2015 compared with 2.7 in the past. 1. Calculate two percent of the City's current population: 63,719 x 2% = 1,274.38 2. Divide 1,274 by the average number of persons per household 1,274 / 2.85 = 447.15 3. Divide the 447.15 (447 du) units into the 3 housing types: 44% low density = 197 units 28% medium density = 125 units 28% high density = 125 units In 2013, the City Council expired allocations accumulated since 2008. In the five-year period since 2008, 2,235 allocations were added to the reserve. The Council eliminated 800 Low Density and 1,435 High Density allocations. This Council action created a new balance of 4,674 as detailed below in Table A.

Table D: Growth Management Allocation for 2015 The Growth Management Ordinance includes a priority location area and a point system to assist the City with prioritizing issuance of growth management allocations. The priority location area designates lands available for development and provides development categories of one, two or three, with Priority Area 1 being the first priority area for development. The priority areas are based on availability of city services (e.g., water, wastewater, storm drains, streets, police, fire and parks). The proposed project site is classified as an in -fill project. For scoring purposes in -fill projects are considered Priority Area 1 projects. The point system was established to rate projects based on various project merits in order to determine if one project should be approved before another, particularly if there are more allocation requests than there are available allocations. However, because the City hasn't had growth management allocation requests since 2006, surplus allocations have been accumulated. The proposed tentative map is consistent with the current General Plan (2010). The proposed residential development aligns with the residential land use designations and densities assigned to the site in the current General Plan. The site for the proposed subdivision is suitable for the density and type of development proposed in that it is a flat piece of land. The project design of the subdivision and type of improvements proposed would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that there are no existing public access easements on the site. The Planning Commission reviewed the project in its entirety and recommended the City Council grant the applicant 22 Low -Density Residential Growth Management Allocations.

South of Taylor Road and west of Lower Sacramento Road (Applicant: Vintners Square LLC; File: 2015-14 GM / S / PD; CEQA Status: Section 15183 — Previous Environmental Review) LOCATION: South of Taylor Road and west of Lower Sacramento Road APN: 027-420-08 and 027-420-10 Lodi, CA 95240 APPLICANT: Vintners Square LLC The Grupe Company Mr. Chris Conklin 3255 West March Lane, Suite 400 Stockton, CA 95219 PROPERTY OWNER: Geweke Family PTP Mr. John Farris P.O. Box 1420 Lodi, CA 95241 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Guidelines for the Vintage Square Subdivision and recommend to the City Council approval of the request for 22 Low -Density growth management allocations subject to conditions in the attached resolution. PROJECT/AREA DESCRIPTION General Plan Designation: Low Density Residential Zoning Designation: RLD - Low Density Residential Property Size: 3.74 (162,914.4 sq ft) + 5.26 (229,125.6 sq ft) = 9.00 (392,040 sq ft) The adjacent zoning and land use characteristics: SUMMARY The proposed project seeks to create a private / gated 57 single family lot community with associated landscape parcels and private streets. All private streets meet the minimum City right of way standards. The project does include a private 7,100 sq ft open space lot for the gated community. The project takes access off Taylor Road with a secondary access off Westgate Drive The project site was previously granted 35 growth allocations in 2005. The applicant seeks an additional 22 growth allocations The applicant is proposing a different housing product and living experience that the last 3 major subdivisions in Lodi — Rose Gate, Van Ruiten Ranch and Reynolds Ranch. BACKGROUND The property was originally annexed into Lodi on April 25, 1996 as part of the Crossroads Annexation. This included the subject property as well as the southwest corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane. In addition to annexation, the City designated the area as Commercial Shopping and the property along Taylor Road and Westgate as residential. All Air Quality, Biological and Agricultural mitigation were satisfied during the annexation process. The project paid all development impact fees with the development of the Lowe's Shopping Center. Subsequently, the 2010 General Plan designated the property low density residential with a density of 2 — 8 units per acre. ANALYSIS Existing Conditions: The subject site consists of two parcels totaling 9 acres. To the western portion of the property is a 3 acre detention basin that the City is looking to vacate. Taylor Road forms the northern property border, to the east is Lower Sacramento Road, to the west is Westgate Lane and to the south is the Lowe's shopping center. Along the north of Taylor Road are unincorporated rural properties that are identified to ultimately annex to the City.

Taylor Road forms the northern property border, to the east is Lower Sacramento Road, to the west is Westgate Lane and to the south is the Lowe's shopping center. Along the north of Taylor Road are unincorporated rural properties that are identified to ultimately annex to the City. F, General Plan Compliance: The project site includes General Plan Land Use designation of Low Density Residential. The proposed project is consistent with the current General Plan (2010) land use designations, layout and required density. The Low Density Residential designation mandates density ranges between two (2) to eight (8) units per acre. The Vintner Square project has a density of 6.3 units per acre. The General Plan Land Use Policy 3 (LU P3) prohibits development at less than the minimum and maximum density prescribed by each residential land use category. The proposed project does comply with applicable General Plan density requirements. Zoning Compliance: The project site is zoned RLD — Low Density Residential. This zoning designation identified design standards for the size and shape of parcels along with street access. The zoning code requires 5,000 sq. ft. lots with 50 ft. width. The zoning code has provisions for a Planned Development (PD) overlay to be applied to projects, to provide flexibility in the application of development standards that will produce development projects of superior quality, including retention of unique site characteristics, creative and efficient project design, etc., than would have been achieved through strict application of the development standards required by the primary zoning district. The applicant has requested the PD overlay to allow for flexibility of design standards. The PD request is to develop a private gated community, private streets and lots that are on average 4,000 sq. ft. in size with a width of 46 ft. The front yard setback is 10 ft from the private roadway. Planned Development Guidelines: The applicant has prepared the Vintners Square Planned Development Standards and Guidelines. (Attachment C) The organization of these guidelines is presented as a series of community design components that when combined create a comprehensive project design. The chapters highlight and articulate the various community design components, establishing specific development guidelines and standards for how the project will develop. As depicted in the development plans, the applicant is proposing to use several different elevation styles throughout the subdivision. The elevations use varying massing and architectural articulations. The project also includes a preliminary landscape plan that generally places one large street tree in each front yard among other accent landscaping including various shrubs, ground cover and lawn. The landscaping plan would have to comply with the requirements of the Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.03.070 which regulate landscape water efficiency. Subdivision Map: The proposed Tentative Map would subdivide the project parcel into 57 Low - Density residential single-family lots, 1 private lot for an open space / park lot and associated public and private roadways. The size and shape of the subject project area makes an efficient lotting design difficult. The applicant has proposed a number of lotting designs and ultimately decided to not try to compete with the housing product in Rose Gate, Van Ruiten Ranch and Reynolds Ranch. The project includes lots that meet to 2 to 8 units per acre density, but overall do not meet the size standards for Low Density Residential 3 In accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section, 17.52.070, the Commission may approve a tentative map only when it first finds that the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the general plan, and any applicable specific plan, and that none of the findings for denial can be made. The findings shall apply to each proposed parcel as well as the entire subdivision, including any parcel identified as a designated remainder in compliance with Map Act Section 66424.6. The findings are included as part of the resolution and staff recommends approval of the subdivision map. In accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section, 17.52.130, an approved Tentative Map is valid for 24 months after its effective date (Section 17.66.130). At the end of 24 months, the approval shall expire and become void unless, the applicant petitions the Planning Commission for an extension and the Commission grants an extension in accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.52.130 (13)(1). Phased Final Maps shall extend the expiration of the tentative map by 36 months or the date of the previously filed Final Map. Access and Circulation: The project is accessed by Taylor Road and Westgate Drive. The project is bordered existing roadways. system. by Lower Sacramento Road. The project does not restrict or impede The private development will include private access to the existing roadway The General Plan discourages private roadways and gated communities. This is intended to ensure through roads and a gridded street pattern. The project proposal will not reduce area circulation and connectivity. The project size and location is one of a few sites in Lodi that would be appropriate for a gated community without reducing through streets and reducing connectivity. Fences and Buffers: The City places a high value on quality design and materials in the construction of fencing and buffers for developments. Fencing is an integral design feature in residential developments and defines property ownership and boundaries. The City expects quality materials that will last and maintain an appealing aesthetic within neighborhoods. There is an existing masonry wall along the southern boundary. A masonry wall will be constructed along Westgate, Taylor and Lower Sacramento Roads. Landscaping will be located between a detached sidewalk and masonry wall. Condition of approval 9 and 23 has been added to the resolution that sets the City's expectation, so developers of this subdivision know this is an important feature the City wants maintained. Growth Management Compliance: The Vintner Square property was allocated 35 units in 2004. The applicant is requesting 22 additional units to construct the full project. The allocation system gives priority through point assignments to projects that reduce impacts on services, infrastructure, and resources. The ordinance sets an annual growth limit of two percent of the City's population, compounded annually. Once the number of allocable units is figured, the City requires that the allocation units be distributed among housing types as follows; 44 percent low density, 28 percent medium density and 28 percent high density (GM -134). The following calculation explains the current City population of 63,719 as of January 1, 2015 and 447 units available for 2015: 4 Growth Allocations for 2013 and 2014 were higher because the persons per household was lower. New Department of Finance numbers show Lodi at 2.85 persons per household in 2015 compared with 2.7 in the past. 1. Calculate two percent of the City's current population: 63,719 x 2% = 1,274.38 2. Divide 1,274 by the average number of persons per household 1,274 / 2.85 = 447.15 3. Divide the 447.15 (447 du) units into the 3 housing types: 44% low density = 197 units 28% medium density = 125 units 28% high density = 125 units In 2013, the City Council expired allocations accumulated since 2008. In the five-year period since 2008, 2,235 allocations were added to the reserve. The Council eliminated 800 Low Density and 1,435 High Density allocations. This Council action created a new balance of 4,674 as detailed below in Table A.

Table D: Growth Management Allocation for 2015 The Growth Management Ordinance includes a priority location area and a point system to assist the City with prioritizing issuance of growth management allocations. The priority location area designates lands available for development and provides development categories of one, two or three, with Priority Area 1 being the first priority area for development. The priority areas are based on availability of city services (e.g., water, wastewater, storm drains, streets, police, fire and parks). The proposed project site is classified as an in -fill project. For scoring purposes in -fill projects are considered Priority Area 1 projects. The point system was established to rate projects based on various project merits in order to determine if one project should be approved before another, particularly if there are more allocation requests than there are available allocations. However, because the City hasn't had growth management allocation requests since 2006, surplus allocations have been accumulated. Conclusion Staff sent a copy of the application to various City departments for review and comment. Their comments and requirements incorporated into the attached resolution. Staff believes that the Commission can make the findings in order to approve the proposed project, subject to conditions outlined in the attached resolution. The proposed tentative map, as described in the code compliance sections above, is consistent with the current General Plan (2010).

Also the design of the subdivision and type of improvements would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision in that there are no existing public access easements on the site. Further, as stated in the code compliance sections above, the applicant has proposed development standards for this subdivision that are consistent with the historical development of the City. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary "Projects." A "Project," under CEQA, is defined as "the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment." The proposed Rezone, Tentative Subdivision Map, and Design Review for subdivision layout is a project under CEQA. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Public Resources Code §21083.3), provides that projects that are consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning for which an environmental impact report (EIR) has been certified "shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project -specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site." The project site was annexed into the City of Lodi in 1996 and paid all mitigation costs and completed environmental measures to reduce impacts from the conversion from rural to urban uses. The City Council, by Resolution No. 2010-41, which became effective on April 7, 2010, certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), State Clearinghouse No. 20009022075, for the City of Lodi General Plan. This General Plan designated the project site as Low Density Residential. No potential new impacts related to the Project have been identified that would necessitate further environmental review beyond the impacts and issues already disclosed and analyzed in the General Plan EIR. No increase in development density beyond what was anticipated in the General Plan for the Project site would occur. No other special circumstances exist that would create a reasonable possibility that the proposed Project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. Therefore, the proposed Project qualifies for the exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and no further environmental review is required. PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE: Legal Notice for the Use Permit was published in the Lodi News Sentinel on Saturday, June 11 2015 and August 15, 2015. Thirty-eight (38) public hearing notices were sent to all property owners of record within a 300 -foot radius of the project site as required by California State Law §65091 (a) 3. Public notice also was mailed to interested parties who had expressed their interest of the project. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS Should the Planning Commission agree with staff's recommendation, the following motion is suggested: "I move that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution finding that the project has satisfied the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15183, the project is consistent with the findings of the previous environmental documents prepared for the 2010 Lodi General Plan and approve the Tentative Subdivision Map and Planned Development Guidelines for the Grupe Taylor Road Subdivision and recommend to the City Council approval of the request for 22 Low -Density Growth Management Allocations subject to conditions in the attached resolution." 7 ALTERNATIVE PLANNING COMMISSION ACTIONS: Approve the request with attached or alternate conditions Deny the request Continue the request.

(Applicant: Gary Arnold; File 13-U-18; CEQA Determination: Exempt per Section 15321) Commissioners Kirsten and Heinitz recused themselves from the public hearing due to having a property interest in the sphere of influence of this project. Senior Planner Craig Hoffman gave a brief presentation based on the staff report. Staff is recommending the rescission of the approval of the project as conditioned Hearing Opened to the Public • None Public Portion of Hearing Closed • Commissioner Hennecke asked if the Use Permit transfers with new ownership. Mr. Hoffman stated that the Use Permit runs with the property. He added that normally there is a condition that is placed on Use Permits that would render the Permit useless if there is no activity within six months of adoption. • Commissioner Slater asked if the payment made by the applicant at time of application submittal is refunded when the application is rescinded. Mr. Hoffman stated that it is not. Those funds were used during the original application process. • Commissioner Olson asked why an incentive for selling the property would be requested to be removed. Mr. Hoffman stated that the applicant that applied for the permit is not going to be able to utilize it and it has been unused for over a year. Chair Kiser added Page 2 of 8 August 26, 2015 PC Minutes that he wouldn't like to see someone else pick up the property and the Use Permit without having to come before the Planning Commission. • Commissioner Hennecke asked if the owner was present. Mr. Hoffman stated he is not present and does not have a problem with the Use Permit being rescinded. MOTION /VOTE: The Planning Commission, on motion of Commissioner Cummins, Slater second, finds that the rescission of the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15321, and adopts a Resolution rescinding the Use Permit resolution 2014-06 allowing a Type -47 ABC license at 24 W.

Growth Management Allocation for 22 Low -Density Residential Lots; and II. A Subdivision Map for the Vintner Square Subdivision, a 9 acre, 57 unit subdivision; and III. Adopt Development Standards for the subdivision known as Vintner Square located within Low Density Residential Zoning District.

Chair Kiser asked if there will be a fund set up to maintain the roads within the development. Mr. Hoffman stated that there will be a Home Owners Association (HOA) set up to maintain the roads and other common areas. Vice Chair Heinitz asked if the school district has been consulted on this project. Mr. Hoffman stated that the project is routed to the school district as part of the application process. Commissioner Olson disclosed that she had a discussion with the applicant regarding the project. Commission Olson asked if the park was going to fall under the HOA. Mr. Hoffman stated that it is a private park and will be maintained under the HOA. Commissioner Slater disclosed that he had a discussion with the applicant regarding the project. Commissioner Slater asked about the type of fencing to be used within the development. Mr. Hoffman stated that condition number 20 addresses the type of fencing material to be used. Commissioner Kirsten disclosed that he had a discussion with the applicant regarding the project. Commissioner Cummins disclosed that he had a discussion with the applicant regarding the project. Commissioner Hennecke asked how Police and Fire are planning to keep up with the amount of growth. Mr. Hoffman stated that the growth has just begun to get started and Police and Fire have 2 Page 3 of 8 August 26, 2015 PC Minutes been planning for this event. Mr. Hennecke asked how the draught situation is being addressed for the new developments. Mr. Hoffman stated that the State has handed down specific regulations that are being enforced by the City. Mr Fukasawa stated that staff is in the process of updating the City's water conservation ordinance to comply with the State requirements. Mr. Hoffman continued with his presentation. Staff is recommending approval of the project as conditioned. Kiser asked if there is a designated area for guests to park. Mr. Hoffman stated that there is room for guests to park on the street which meet the City standards. Mr. Hoffman responded to the email comment letter from Ms. Hannesson by stating that this is a different type of project. Hearing Opened to the Public Chris Conklin, applicant, came forward to answer questions. Mr. Conklin introduced his team and thanked staff for all of their hard work. He went over a few of the highlights of the project; the landscaped areas will be done to a very high standard, there will be man gates at the main gate as well as at each end of the development, there will be emergency vehicle gates at each end of the development as well, the pocket park is centrally located and will be directly in front of the entrance, there will be a variety of lot sizes, and there are two additional exits at each end of the development. • Vice Chair Heinitz complimented the past projects done by Grupe and asked if there has been any dialogue with Lowes regarding the noise that can be generated by the loading dock. Mr. Conklin stated that they will be in contact with Lowes to discuss any possible issues. • Commissioner Olson asked if there is a way to re -time the signal light at the crosswalk between Lowes and Safeway to accommodate the elderly or small children. Mr. Swimley stated that the timing should be set correctly on City lights, but if anyone finds that not to be the case they should notify Public Works staff. • Commissioner Hennecke asked if there is going to be a walking path or access through the pocket park to reach the shopping center. Mr. Conklin stated that there was quite a bit of discussion regarding putting in a pass through, but in the end it was not thought to be a good idea. Mr. Hoffman added that the shopping center development was not planned with pedestrian access at that location and would require some redesign of the commercial development. • Robert Lee, Architect for the project, came forward to present the floor plans and architecture plans. • Chair Kiser asked what type of architecture will be offered for the rear view for the optional patio area. Mr. Lee stated that not all sides have been drawn out yet. He added that the full architectural plans will be submitted at a later date, but the plan is to have the rear architecture match the front. He added that the intent is for all four sides of the dwelling to have architectural interest. Mr. Kiser asked what type of roofing material was going to be used. Mr. Lee stated that they are currently planning on using architectural composition. • Commissioner Hennecke asked what the price range will look like. Mr. Conklin stated high 300's to mid 400's. • Chair Kiser asked what type of fencing will be used. Mr. Lee stated that he believes the fences will be wood fences. Mr. Kiser asked about a list of items such as draught resistant landscaping and energy efficient lighting. Mr. Lee stated that they will be installing draught tolerant landscapes, LED lighting fixtures throughout the dwellings and they will all be solar ready. Mr. Kiser asked if solar will be an option for installation at time of original build. Mr. Lee stated that he believes Grupe has that option. 3 Page 4 of 8 August 26, 2015 PC Minutes • Commissioner Slater asked what type coating will be used on the stucco. Mr. Lee stated that they are still discussing that detail. • Chair Kiser asked if the architectural details will be going to SPARC. Mr. Hoffman stated that they will not. The approval of the PD Guidelines is where the approvals stop on the architectural process. • The Commission had some discussion regarding bringing back the final architectural drawings. The consensus of the Commission was to have the architectural plans brought back for approval. • Commissioner Slater asked how much room is between the rear of the house and the back property line. Mr. Hoffman stated that it is a minimum of 10 feet. Mr. Slater asked how smart of the homes going to be. Mr. Lee stated that Grupe will probably have a variety of packages offering various smart home items. • Ray Quanka, Woodbridge resident, came forward to support the project. He expressed is disappointment in all of the dwellings being two-story. He would also like to see the wall along Lower Sacramento Road have some sound proofing qualities. • Lamar Hedrick, resident, came forward to get some clarification regarding where the project was located.

PLANNING MATTERS/FOLLOW-UP ITEMS a) Downtown Vision and Direction. Mr. Hoffman stated that Captain Griffin is in attendance for help decipher the data that was distributed. Captain Griffin came forward to explain why there is so much data and why it has taken so long to get the information generated. Mr. Griffin stated that he has noticed that there have been a few calls for noise issues for Stooges. Discussion took place regarding the incident that started at the EI Dorado and ended up at the corner of Sacramento and Elm Street. Commissioner Kirsten asked about the happenings at just the Vintage. Captain Griffin stated that they are doing a lot better. The owners have met with Police staff and have implemented many of the suggestions made by staff. Captain Griffin stated that the Police Department received a grant from ABC and staff will be have a both at the Grape Festival for people to test their blood alcohol level. Police will also be going around to the various downtown bars and offering the same service in an effort to try and educate people in their consumption of alcohol. Commission Cummins asked if there would be a positive impact if there was a mandatory closure time of midnight. Captain Griffin stated that he believes it would be a positive move. Commissioner Olson asked if there is a correlation between the age, type of drink, location, cost, etc to the types and number of calls. Captain Griffin stated that there is a correlation between the type of music and the number of calls. The fact that there are so many alcohol establishments within a four block radius could be a factor as well. Ms. Olson asked what types of questions the Commission should be asking the applicants to ensure there are minimal problems. Captain Griffin stated that ensuring that there is training on identifying people that have too much to drink. Ms. Olson asked if it is the younger crowd that is causing the majority of the problems. Captain Griffin stated that the twenty to mid thirty year olds seem to be involved in the most incidents. Captain Griffin asked what the Commission thought of the information that they received regarding the call outs. The Commission as a whole felt the information was helpful. Commissioner Heinitz stated that the most interesting things happen between midnight and three am according to the surveillance cameras in the plaza between Bank of America and the Lodi Hotel. Mr. Heinitz asked 5 Page 6 of 8 August 26, 2015 PC Minutes it ABC should be playing a larger role in ensuring that staff members at the bars are trained to spot people that may be coming from other establishments and have already had enough to drink. Captain Griffin stated that it would be helpful if ABC did some spot checks now and again. Vice Chair Heinitz stated that he agrees with Commissioner Cummins idea and would like to see all of the alcohol establishments closing at midnight. Commissioner Hennecke stated that most of the calls look like they are between midnight and 2:00 am, so it sounds like shutting down the bars at midnight is a good idea. Commissioner Kirsten asked what areas the Commission should be keeping tabs on. Captain Griffin stated Gary's, Stooges, and Vintage. Mr. Hoffman stated that the Rainbow Club has recently changed ownership and they are drawing a little different crowd and causing a bit of trouble. Commissioner Slater stated that he likes the idea of closing all of the bars at midnight, but unfortunately that will only affects the bars that have Use Permits and that doesn't seem fair. Captain Griffin stated that there are consequences for closing down the bars with Use Permits in that you will now have a larger concentration of people at the bars that can stay open until 2 am. Commissioner Olson asked about any additional drug activities in and around the various establishments. Captain Griffin stated that he does not have that information handy. Commission Cummins would like to request that staff research the problems other Cities are having in this area. He would like to find a loophole that would allow the City to control the operating hours of these establishments. Commissioner Hennecke would like to see a representative from ABC attend a meeting to help guide. Chair Kiser thanked Captain Griffin for all of the work that was put into the report given. b) Art In Public Places Development Impact Fee Discussion and Possible Direction. Mr. Hoffman stated that this is a concern of Commissioner Kirsten's based on a conversation he had with Parks Recreation and Cultural Services Director Jeff Hood. It seems there has been a miscommunication between Mr. Hood and the previous City Manager. There is a portion of the Impact Fees that will go to Art in Public Places (AIPP). There isn't an option to not pay those fees. Mr. Hoffman stated that it is still possible for a developer to come before the AIPP to request that some of the funds be spent on their project. Commission Kirsten asked how often the fees are reviewed. Mr. Hoffman stated that he believes they are reviewed once a year, and will confirm that with Public Works Director Wally Sandlin. Mr. Kirsten asked if the percentage that the AIPP receives has dropped. Mr. Hoffman stated that he does not believe that to be the case. He added that he will do a bit of research to confirm his beliefs. Mr. Kirsten stated that a long term committee member stated that the percentage was lowered and would appreciate any information Mr. Hoffman can supply in this area. Commissioner Kirsten would like to see the percentage reviewed now that the economy has made a positive turn. Commissioner Slater left the meeting. Commissioner Kirsten gave his report for AIPP (see notes under Art In Public Places). rel Page 7 of 8 August 26, 2015 PC Minutes 5.

There will be a call to artists sent out for the bike rake project out in front of the entrance of the Grape Bowl. Commissioner Hennecke stated his appreciation with the flyer. 9. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC (NON -AGENDA ITEMS) None 10. COMMENTS BY STAFF AND COMMISSIONERS (NON -AGENDA ITEMS) Chair Kiser would like to discuss the Baker and Giannoni projects and the lack of HOA's. Vice Chair Heinitz stated that an HOA is quite a bit more involved than CC&Rs. Mr. Kiser would like to know the consensus of the Commission on requiring HOA's instead of CC&R's for these types of projects. Mr. Kirsten stated that the Commission may not be able to change the projects that have already been approved, but it sounds like a good discussion for future projects. 11. REORGANIZATION a.

AGENDA ITEM i 2 CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TM AGENDA TITLE: Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Planning Commission's Recommendation to Authorize 22 Low - Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for Vintage Vintner Square Subdivision MEETING DATE: October 21, 2015 PREPARED BY: Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to consider adopting a resolution approving the Planning Commission's recommendation to authorize 22 Low -Density Residential Growth Management Allocations for Reynolds Ranoh Vintner Sguare Subdivision. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The property was originally annexed into Lodi on April 25, 1996 as part of the Crossroads Annexation. This included the subject property as well as the southwest corner of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane. In addition to annexation, the City designated the area as Commercial Shopping and the property along Taylor Road and Westgate as residential. All Air Quality, Biological and Agricultural mitigation were satisfied during the annexation process. The project paid all development impact fees with the development of the Lowe's Shopping Center. Subsequently, the 2010 General Plan designated the property low-density residential with a density of 2 — 8 units per acre. As part of the City's Growth Management program and subdivision map approval process, the Planning Commission reviews the requests that have been submitted to the City. Following a public hearing, the Commission makes a recommendation for City Council consideration. On August 26, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the 2015 Residential Growth Management Development Allocation. At this hearing the Planning Commission reviewed a request by Vintners Square LLC, The Grupe Company for (i) Growth Management Allocation for 22 Low -Density Residential Lots; (ii) a Subdivision Map for the Vintner Square Subdivision, a 9 -acre, 57 -unit subdivision; and (iii) adopted Development Standards for the subdivision known as Vintner Square located within Low -Density Residential Zoning District. The Commission received a staff report, heard the staff presentation, asked questions of staff as well as the applicant, opened the hearing to the public for testimony in support and in opposition to the application, closed the public hearing and voted 7-0 to recommend the City 6-2- Jennifer -2 Jennifer Ferraiolo From: Craig Hoffman Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2015 7:53 AM To: Alan Nakanishi; Doug Kuehne; JoAnne Mounce; Mark Chandler; Bob Johnson Cc: Steve Schwabauer; Janice Magdich; Jennifer Ferraiolo Subject: Lodi demographics and surrounding communities Attachments: 4b -growth and population projections clean.doc; Lodi Population 1980 - Now.xls Council members You asked me a few follow up items last night.

A detailed discussion on existing and future municipal services to meet the future demand identified in this chapter is in- cluded in Chapter 3 of this MSR. As discussed in Chapter 3, the City has plans and policies in place to ensure that if demand in- creases, as allowed by the General Plan, adequate public services will be provided, while exist- ing levels of service are maintained. A. Population and Demographics San Joaquin County population growth trends are identified in Table 4-1. This table identifies population trends within the County since 1990. The County experienced a great deal of growth in the early 2000's that slowed during the economic downturn from 2007 to 2012. Lodi is the fourth largest city in San Joaquin County, with a population of 63,719.' Between 2000 and 2015, the City of Lodi's population increased by 12 percent to 63,719 as shown in Ta- ble 4-1. The growth is consistent with the historical growth rate of 1 % for the city. Growth was particularly slow between 2010 and 2015. Neighboring cities in San Joaquin experienced more dramatic population growth between 2000 and 2015, with the cities of Stockton and Tracy increasing 26 and 50 percent, respectively. Be- tween 2000 and 2015, the population of San Joaquin County increased by 28 percent. Demographic shifts experienced during this same time period in Lodi include an increase in per- centage of children and 35- to 54 -year-olds, and an increase in family size and non -family households, and an increase in residents of Hispanic/Latino origin.

The intent of the GMO is to regulate growth in order that General Plan policies can be achieved, to ensure the adequate provision of public services and facilities, and to promote in- creased housing options for all segments of the population. The GMO limits the number of ap- proved residential units to reflect a 2 percent yearly population growth. This does not apply to senior housing, commercial and industrial projects, on-site replacement housing, or projects of four units or less. 4-2 CITY OF LODI MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW GROWTH AND POPLUATION PROJECTIONS B. Population Projections There are several methods for projecting population growth. Table 4-2 shows three population projections for the City of Lodi. The first column represents projections based on Lodi's historic 1 percent growth rate, and the last column shows projections based on Lodi's maximum growth rate of 2 percent. The middle column depicts the average of these projections, calculated at a 1.5 percent growth rate. The sphere plan and related development projections in this MSR utilize the 1.5 percent growth rate, as it provides a middle ground between Lodi's historic growth rate and the maximum growth rate allowed by the General Plan. Assuming a 1.5 percent growth rate, the City popula- tion will reach 73,949 by 2025, and 85,820 by the end of the twenty-year sphere in 2035. The Lodi 2010 General Plan uses 2.7 persons per household to generate population estimates from projected housing units. The 2015 numbers from the California Department of Finance uses 2.85 persons per household. For the purpose of this MSR, the updated 2.85 number is used. This does create different population estimates for the City. C. Development Projections This section provides an overview of projected development to accommodate growth in Lodi. Further detail related to development projections is provided in Chapter 2. i. Recent Annexations (Ten-year Sphere Horizon) Proposed development of the Reynold's Ranch, Westside and SW Gateway project areas in- cludes residential, commercial, and industrial development. These project areas are expected to accommodate population growth in Lodi between 2015 and 2025. Development of the Reynold's Ranch project site will induce population and housing growth, as it entails the conversion of existing agricultural land to urban uses. However, the initial phase of the project will emphasize retail and office development which will not substantially increase population. No displacement of housing will result from this development. The development of Reynolds Ranch project site would result in up to 1,084 units at buildout. 4-3 CITY OF LODI MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW GROWTH AND POPLUATION PROJECTIONS TABLE 4-3 COMPARATIVE POPULATION PROJECTIONS Year Estimated Population (1% Historic Growth Rate) Estimated Population (1.5% Growth Rate) Estimated Population at (2% Maximum Growth Rate 2000 57,011 2005 61,431 --- --- 2010 62,134 --- 2015 63,719 63,719 63,719 2020 66,969 68,643 70,351 2025 70,385 73,949 77,673 2030 73,976 89,664 85,757 2035 77,749 85,820 94,683 The land use designation for the Westside and SW Gateway project sites (including the 12 addi- tional parcels discussed in Chapter 1) under the General Plan is Planned Residential (PR). The PR land use designation allows for single-family detached and attached homes, secondary resi- dential units, multifamily residential units, parks, open space, public and quasi -public uses, and other compatible uses. According to the General Plan, residential development in PR designat- ed areas will maintain a mix of residential densities, with a goal of 65 percent low-density, 10 percent medium -density, and 25 percent high-density. The development of these project sites is projected to result in 2,000 units at buildout. 2. Sphere of Influence As described in Chapter 2, the unincorporated areas of the SOI are based upon Chapter 2 of the Lodi 2010 General Plan land use plan. General Plan development potential identifies the Unincorporated SOI as containing approximately 4,000 dwelling units along with approximately 3,816 units within the existing City limits and with approved projects. The Department of Fi- nance estimates 2015 demographics to include 23,830 dwelling units for the City. The current buildout of the City and SOI boundary would include 7,816 dwelling units. The existing City Lim- its and Unincorporated SOI would ultimately contain approximately 31,646 housing units. D. Determination The City of Lodi's General Plan, including the Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) dis- cussed above, provides a framework for future growth within the City and its SOI. The GMO 4-4 CITY OF LODI MUNICIPAL SERVICES REVIEW GROWTH AND POPLUATION PROJECTIONS limits the number of approved residential units to reflect a 2 percent yearly population growth. Historically, the City has experienced 1 percent yearly population growth. The City's 2015 population is estimated at 63,719 by the department of finance. Assuming a middle ground growth rate of 1.5 percent growth rate, the City will reach 85,820 by 2035. The existing SOI will provide for an estimated net new population of 22,275, increasing the City's total population to 90,191. Therefore, the existing SOI has adequate capacity to accom- modate a population growth through 2035. The City's ability to provide adequate service to new developments will be ensured prior to approval of new developments, in accordance with exist- ing City policies. 4-5 YEAR POPULATION 1/1/1980 35, 221 1/l/1984 39,475 1/1/1985 41,281 1/l/1986 43, 300 1/1/1987 45,800 1/1/1988 48,042 1/l/1989 49, 200 1/1/1990 51,874 1/l/1991 52, 700 1/1/1992 53,200 1/1/1993 53,600 1/l/1994 53,900 1/1/1995 54,694 1/1/2000 57,011 1/l/2001 58,122 1/l/2002 59, 376 1/l/2003 60, 311 1/l/2004 61,056 1/l/2005 611431 1/1/2006 61,411 1/1/2007 61,648 1/l/2008 61, 749 1/l/2009 61, 796 4/11/2010 62,134 1/1/2011 627334 1/1/2012 62,575 1/1/2013 63,233 1/1/2014 63,651 1/1/2015 63,791 Please immediately confirm receipt of this fax by calling 333-6742 CITY OF LODI P.
