A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE INITIAL
STUDY, THE MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, AND THE MITIGATION
MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE LOWER SACRAMENTO ROAD
WIDENING, HARNEY LANE TO KETTLEMAN LANE, PROJECT
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, this joint project of the City of Lodi and San Joaquin County began in
February 2001 with the award of a design contract to Mark Thomas & Company, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, included in the contract was the preparation of an Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project; and
WHEREAS, the Mitigated Negative Declaration is based upon a finding that there is not
substantial evidence that the project as proposed with mitigations will have a significant effect
on the environment. The reasons supporting this finding, plus the mitigation measures, are
documented in the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
WHEREAS, the project consists of roadway improvements to approximately one mile of
Lower Sacramento Road, from Harney Lane to Kettleman Lane, including the intersection of
Century Boulevard/Lower Sacramento Road. This section of Lower Sacramento Road will be
widened from a two-lane rural road to a four -lane arterial with a raised landscaped median. The
project includes a new storm drain system that conforms to the City Storm Drainage Master
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi, as lead agency, agrees to implement all of the mitigation
measures. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the Initial Study, certify
the filing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration as adequate environmental documentation for the
Lower Sacramento Road Widening Project, and further approve the Mitigation Monitoring
Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council has reviewed all
documentation and hereby approves the Initial Study, certifies the filing of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration as adequate environmental documentation for the Lower Sacramento Road
Widening Project, and further approves the Mitigation Monitoring Program.
