Crrv or Loor Couxcu-, C onnMUNICATToN TM AGENDA TITLE: MEETING DATE: PREPARED BY: lntroduce Ordinance Amending Lodi Municipal Code Section 17 .52.120 (B) (1) to Add Submittal Requirements for a Vesting Tentative Map August 6,2014 Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION lntroduce ordinance amending Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.52.120 (BX1) to add submittal requirements for a vesting tentative map. BAGKGROUND INFORMATION: Within the past 12 months, the City of Lodi has experienced an increase in development applications and projects within the City. The City looks forward to continuing the positive and collaborative process that currently exists with the development community, and wants to make sure that projects add value and opportunities to the existing community. However, the City is concerned with the recent trend to "vest" development impact fees by the submittal of vesting tentative subdivision maps.for projects that are not ready to commence construction or will be phased over a period of time. The effect of these submittals can, under certain circumstances, lock in current development fees for the life of the project. ln 2012, the City of Lodi lowered development impact fees to help become a catalyst for economic growth. The anticipation was that the lower fees would help get projects moving and the lower fees would help first phases of projects develop. The lower fees were never anticipated to remain in effect for the life of the project or for large projects with multiple development phases. Staff is recommending that additional information be provided for projects requesting a vesting tentative map. The attached ordinance includes the modified requirements. The additional information will be helpful to determine impacts to City infrastructure and services. Staff will be able to have a broader understanding on what a finished project will look like and insure that the project is ready to build before vesting. The new submittal requirements would also include the construction plans. The requirement for additional information only pertains to vesting maps. Requirements for a tentative map are not changing. lf an applicant desires the benefits and protections of a vesting application, staff is requesting the same protections an enhanced application can provide be available to the City. FISCAL IMPACT:Not applicable. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
