AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for May 18, 2016 to Consider Adopting an Ordinance to Modify
the Zoning Code to Require Design Review for Multi -Family Structures in the
Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential Zoning Designations
MEETING DATE: May 4, 2016
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for May 18, 2016 to consider adopting an
ordinance to modify the Zoning Code to require design review for
multi -family structures in the Medium Density Residential and High
Density Residential zoning designations.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 13, 2016, the Planning Commission held a public hearing
to review the Zoning Code, accept public testimony, and adopted a
resolution recommending the City Council modify the existing zoning code to require the Site Plan and
Architecture Review Committee to review multi -family structures in the Medium Density Residential and
High Density Residential zoning designations.
The City of Lodi adopted the current General Plan in April 2010 and then adopted the current
development code in March of 2013. The new development code required most new structures in Lodi to
go through a formal design review process.
The existing zoning code however, does not require design review for multi -family dwelling units that are
added to existing residential lots. Within the Medium Density Residential zoning district, a number of new
multi -family structures have been built that change the massing and scale of properties and the new
structures do not necessarily match the architecture of existing structures.
Staff is not opposed to the density of these properties and is not looking to reduce allowed uses. Some
review needs to take place however, in regard to the aesthetic change of these properties and the
change in property massing and scale.
Lack of design review over new multi -family structures was an oversight and not the original intention by
staff in the adoption of the current development code. The previous development code did require
design review of multi -family projects.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
