AGENDA TITLE: Receive Direction Regarding City Council Involvement in Design Review of
Subdivision Projects
MEETING DATE: October 6, 2021
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive direction regarding City Council involvement in design
review of Subdivision Projects.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff received direction on Council involvement specific to
Subdivision design during the representation related to the
Growth Management Allocation process in January 2021. The
direction given was no Council involvement.
Renewed interest in subdivision design participation by Council was recently expressed, so staff is
seeking revised direction.
Article 5. — Subdivisions; Chapter 17.46 —17.50 of the Lodi Municipal Code established very specific roles
of responsibility and design requirements. The current responsibility falls with the Planning Commission
based on staff recommendation.
Initial 30 Day Review
Staff conducts an initial 30 -day review for all projects and encourages Subdivision applicants to submit a
pre -application, but does not require it. Each applicant then enters into discussions between principal
departmental staff and the developer. This process establishes project objectives, evaluates basic
compliance with zoning, density as well as other improvement considerations within our municipal code
based on the project's location. After this initial review period, comments are delivered to the applicant for
incorporation or correction.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable for the purpose of this discussion
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable
