REVISED TEXT FOR PAGE 14 OF THE WESTSIDE FACH-IMS MASTER PLAN
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
Community parks are primarily for active uses and structured recreation. Community park
facilities should be designed for organized activities and sports. Community parks may also
provide specialized community wide interest facilities. Where neighborhood parks are absent,
community parks can serve their function.
3.1 Westside Park
Westside Park, a 17 -acre Neighborhood Park and aquatic center, is consistent with the Lodi Park,
Recreation and Open Space Plan's, Cochran Park concept. As shown in figure 5, this park is
intended to be the central focal element of the Plan Area. Westside Park forms, distinguishes,
and gives character to the Plan Area residential neighborhoods creating a community image.
Westside Park will be contiguous to the proposed elementary school site and the Open Space
Corridor. The park is designed to provide a variety of active play areas, especially focused on the
needs of children. The Open Space Corridor will provide access to surrounding neighborhoods.
As illustrated in figure S, the proposed park uses around the lake include two children's
playgrounds, picnic areas, a paved bicycle and pedestrian pathway system, a soccer filed, tennis
courts, and a multi -use basketball/roller blade/hockey court.
The Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan recommends that an aquatic center be located in
Westside Park. The aquatic center should be designed to adequately serve the Westside of Lodi.
To enhance revenue opportunities for operation and maintenance of the aquatic center, the center
should consider slides and other water related features in addition to a 25-yard/50-meter multi-
purpose pool as proposed in the Master Plan.

Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
The three -acre aquatic center in located at the east end of the park, adjacent to the proposed
Elementary School site. The aquatic center illustrated in Figure 5 includes a water park, a multi-
purpose pool, a dive pool, and an office/restroorn facility. The aquatic's center restroom will be
accessible from the park. The water park site is capable of maintaining two water slides, a zero
depth pool, water spray features for children and a sand area to give users a feeling of being at
the beach. This center will have the capability to serve high schools and the Lodi Swim Club.
Parking for the aquatic center will be served by a single parking lot located adjacent to planned
collector streets. The parking lot will be served by two entries, each with access/egress ability.
The parking lot will accommodate automobiles as well as buses. While parking is available, a
substantial number of residences will access the Westside Park via a pedestrian/bicycle trail
system.
3.2 Open Space Corridor
Lodi has a well-defined edge that divides its urban uses from abutting agricultural uses, a value.
cherished by many residents. However, the proximity of agricultural operations to urban uses
also creates conflicts affecting both farmers and residents. Conflicts relating to farming at the
urban -agriculture interface can be minimized by installation of a landscaped open space buffer
area, fences andlor walls as a transition from agriculture to urban. To maximize the use of an
Open Space Corridor, the Open Space corridor should be located central to the project area and
its facilities integrated within the Corridor should be treated as a public asset, maintained for use
as a community benefit.
The Open Space Corridor shown in Figure 3, is a community facility that extends beyond the
Plan Area. According to the Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan. The Corridor will extend
north to Turner Road and south the Harney Lane. The corridor is central to the Plan Area, and
establishes a central open space spine to provide pedestrian connections to parks and schools
within the Plan Area.. The width of the Open Space Corridor should range from 30 to 50 feet_
The Open Space Corridor serves as a passive WMhen11 ffidity with a 12 -foot T radeflBg bike
and pedestrian path. The bicycle and pedestrian path will serve the community needs. The path
should be designed to meander through the Open Space Corridor. The bicycle and pedestrian
path should provide links to the residential neighborhoods, Westside Park and to bike and
pedestrian path that connects to the Elementary School.

Landscaping. along the Open Space Corridor should provide a natural open space atmosphere.
Canopy trees should be grouped together along the corridor. Landscaping such as broad shade
trees, accent trees, shrubs and native species should be encouraged within the open space' rea.
The bicycle and pedestrian trail within the Open Space Corridor shall meander through the
corridor and consist of a paved walking and biking trail and a decomposed granite trail for
runners.
Recognizing the importance of the Open Space Corridor as a major open space and recreational
amenity to Plan Area and community, it is important that the corridor provide and environment
that is safe and accessible. Paralleling the Open Space Corridor with residential streets would
provide safe and convenient access to the recreational opportunities along the Open Space
corridor. As a recreational and open space amenity to the Plan Area and the community, a
parallel street would result in an attractive and aesthetically pleasing streetscape that would
promote individual neighborhood and overall community identity.
Homes adjacent to the Open Space Corridor should be oriented to encourage maximizing the
aesthetic value of the Open Space Corridor and create and inviting community edge. Preferably,
homes adjacent to the Open Space Corridor should be oriented with the front yard and entry of
the home directly facing the Open Space Corridor. Orientation of residences toward the Open
Space Corridor would provide visual access into the corridor and discourage neighborhood
policing of the Open Space Corridor. Homes adjacent to the Open Space Corridor may be
oriented with the side yard facing the Open Space Corridor. However, this type of orientation
should be provided only under limited conditions. Under no circumstance should homes adjacent
to the Open Space Corridor be oriented with the rear yard facing the corridor.
