Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - August 1, 2018 C-14 PHTM CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: MEETING DATE: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM C- 14 Set Public Hearing for August 15, 2018, to Consider Resolution Introducing an Ordinance Reducing the Amount of Residential Growth Management Allocations Currently Available in the Program August 1, 2018 Community Development Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for August 15, 2018, to consider adopting~ a resolution introducing an ordinance reducing the amount of Residential Growth Management Allocations currently available in the program. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City's Growth Management Program was instituted by ordinance 1521 in 1991. 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 amount of allocation units is figured, the City requires that the allocation of units be distributed among housing types as follows: 44 percent low density, 28 percent medium density and 28 percent high density. 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 and priority area based on availability of city services (e.g., water, wastewater, storm drains, streets, police, fire and parks). The 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. Because the City has issued growth management allocations at a rate less than what the ordinance allows, surplus allocations have accumulated. The City Council is being asked to review the number of unused allocations. As of 2018, that number is 3,835 units across the three density categories. Arguably, it would be nearly impossible for all of these units to be used in any given year, or number of years for that matter. The concern that may be more realistic is the perception of the potential pace of growth. As such, staff recommends the City Council consider an action to expire a certain number of unused allocations at the public hearing on August 15. Various options will be provided to the Council for that hearing. APPROVED: Schwa- r, City Manager Growth Management Allocation Reduction Page 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
