AGENDA TITLE: Conduct Public Hearing to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation
that the City Council adopt a General Plan Amendment to change from PR,
Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood Community Commercial; and 2) a
Prezoning from AU -20, Agriculture Urban Reserve to CS, Commercial Shopping,
for a 15.5 acre portion of the property located at 302 State Route Highway 12,
APN No. 058-030-01 and to initiate annexation of the property into the City of
Lodi.
MEETING DATE: March 7, 2001
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the Planning Commission's
recommendation that the City Council adopt a General Plan Amendment
to change from PR, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood
Community Commercial; and 2) a Prezoning from AU -20, Agriculture
Urban Reserve to CS, Commercial Shopping, for a 15.5 acre portion of the property located at 302
State Route Highway 12, APN No. 058-030-01 and to initiate annexation of the property into the City
of Lodi.
BACKGROUND: On December 13, 2000, the Lodi Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
on a proposed annexation of roughly 15.5 acres of property adjacent to the extreme
southwest corner of the City. Also part of the proposal was a General Plan
Amendment request to change from a PR, Planned Residential designation to NCC,
Neighborhood Community Commercial, and a Prezoning request to assign a C -S zoning classification.
The rectangular shaped approximately 52 -acre parcel at issue, assessor's number 058-030-01, is located at
302 State Route 12, west of the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane (State
Highway 12). At present, the subject parcel lies outside the City of Lodi boundaries in the jurisdiction of
San Joaquin County, and the eastern edge of the subject parcel abuts the existing City limits of Lodi. If
approved, a portion of the parcel 1,246 feet long and 545 -feet -wide will become part of the City while the
remainder (roughly 36.5 acres) will still be under the jurisdiction of San Joaquin County.
The Annexation, General Plan Amendment, and Prezoning are the first steps necessary to develop this
property if it is to be done within the City of Lodi. As planned, the western terminus of the portion of the
subject parcel in question will be the edge of a planned north -south running minor collector street with a
signalized intersection at Kettleman Lane. This street will serve development on both the north and south
sides of Kettleman Lane including the subject site.

The area of the annexation is included in the City's sphere of influence and the General Plan, meaning the
City has expectations about development at this location. We have anticipated growth and expansion of
City boundaries here, and are planning to accommodate this property with City utilities and other
services, so it makes sense to all parties involved that prior to any development, the property be brought
under the auspices of the City.

The Public Works Department has the following comments regarding the proposed General Plan
Amendment changing the subject parcel from PR, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood
Community Commercial:
a.i) There are currently no public storm drainage facilities to serve this parcel.
a.ii) Although the adjacent parcel to the east lies within the wastewater service area served by
the existing wastewater trunk line in Lower Sacramento Road, under the current sanitary
sewer master plan, the area proposed for annexation lies within a wastewater service area
which is to receive service from a future trunk line to be constructed along the westerly
boundary of the current General Plan. Detailed engineering analysis will be required to
determine the actual sewer service location.
a.iii) The Lodi Westside Master Plan currently being developed for properties west of Lower
Sacramento Road and adjacent to and north of Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) includes a
minor collector street with traffic signal control at Kettleman Lane which will affect the
subject parcel. The proposed street alignment will extend both north and south of
Kettleman Lane and the projected right-of-way is 74 feet. Street right-of-way
dedications will be required along the west property line of the subject site to
accommodate these improvements and a more detailed traffic study will be required to
determine actual right-of-way requirements.

Commissioner McGladdery asked if the restaurant would compete with any Downtown
businesses. Community Development Director responded that only new restaurant
buildings were subject to be reviewed for impact to the downtown area, and not
existing buildings. Commissioner McGladdery then asked where the other alcohol
licenses were located. Mr. Bartlam responded that within the shopping center there
was Applebee's, Strings, and Me & Ed's Pizza. He further noted that other census
tracts throughout the City are over -concentrated, it all depends on the population of the
area.

The request of Lodi Southwest Associates for 1) a General Plan Amendment to
change from PR, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood Community
Commercial; and 2) a Prezoning from AU -20, Agriculture Urban Reserve to CS,
Commercial Shopping, for a 15.5 acre portion of the property located at 302 State
Route Highway 12, APN No. 058-030-01. This item was presented to the
Commission by Associate Planner Veerkamp. The rectangular shaped parcel is located
on 302 State Route 12, west of the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and
Kettleman Lane. A portion (15.5 acres) of the current 52 -acre parcel is being planned
to be annexed in to the City of Lodi. The remainder (36.5 acres) would still be under
the jurisdiction of San Joaquin County.
The interesection of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane is unofficially
known as the "Four Corners." Both the northeast and southeast corner of this
intersection contains shopping centers anchored by major retailers. Currently, plans
are in the works to develop the northeast corner into a shopping center as well. With
approval of the proposed annexation and land use amendments, this will prepare the
property to accommodate commercial shopping center uses in a similar fashion to the
existing commercial, retail and services businesses located east of the subject property.
A shopping center was previously planned on the 21 -acre site located at the southwest
comer of Lower Sacramento Road and State Route 12. Now the shopping center will
be bigger by 15.5 acres.

The City has anticipated growth and expansion of City boundaries in the subject area
and are prepared to accommodate this property with City utilities and other services.
Along the western portion of the parcel, there will be a north -south running minor
collector street with a signalized intersection at Kettleman Lane. This street will serve
development on both the north and south side of Kettleman Lane and the subject site.
A City electric substation is also planned just west of the subject annexation. Staff was
recommending approval of the project.
Commissioner Beckman voiced concern about the traffic congestion problems already
present at the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and State Route 12. He asked
staff when future improvements would be done to alleviate the congested area.
Community Development Director Bartlam responded that at the next City Council
meeting, they would be approving the plans and specifications for Lower Sacramento
Road improvements. Mr. Bartlam further noted that there would be improvements
made to Kettleman Lane in the near future.
Commissioner Crabtree asked if the annexation might violate the Downtown
Ordinance, Mr. Bartlam responded that the policy requires an economic impact
analysis at the time of a project's proposal. At the present time no project was being
proposed for the site. He further shared that the initiation of the annexation was for a
much needed north -south collector street with a signalized intersection.
Commissioner Borelli pointed out that Downtown businesses were under the
impression that any new business under 5,000 square feet would need to be located
downtown. Mr. Bartlam responded that the requirement was a suggestion through the
concept plan and not something the City Council had ever approved. He further
mentioned that the City needs to provide for "big box" stores, and smaller parcels do
not provide ample room.
Commissioner Crabtree was concerned about opening the "flood gate" for commercial
development when on the other hand the City was trying to create a greenbelt
surrounding the City. He asked staff why the annexation had to take place now and
was there a critical need for the property? Mr. Bartlam responded that the need was
not critical; however, the City has projected growth in the area. With the collector
street present, it would make the parcel more marketable to commercial developers.
Hearing Opened to the Public
Randy Snider, 2328 Brittany Lane. He was in agreement with the proposal and felt it
was good planning on the part of the City. He noted that the collector street would be
beneficial to traffic circulation in the area.
Lori McIntosh, 301 S. Ham Lane. She pointed out that the 20 acres located on the
southwest corner was a deep parcel, which limits marketability of the property. The
annexation would "square -up" the parcel so that more options could be created for
placement of a"big box" on the property.

The request of the Lodi Unified School District for approval of prezoning parcels
015-170-10 & 015-230-07 from San Joaquin County P -F, Public Facilities to PUB,
Public for property located at 18500 N. Lilac Street, Woodbridge (Woodbridge
Middle School). This item was presented to the Commission by Community
Development Director Bartlam. He mentiond that the subject prezoning, was the first
step in the annexation of Woodbridge Middle School to the City of Lodi. A General
Plan Amendment wasn't necessary because the proposed zoning designation is
consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation. The main reason for Lodi
Unified School District's (LUSD) annexation request is primarily for public utility
services. LUSD is currently receiving water from the City of Lodi, as their wells have
not been functional for their purposes for a number of years. LUSD pays a 50%
premium for the water service from the City. The Lodi Municipal Code does not allow
for sewer services outside of the City limits for sanitary sewer purposes. In order to
provide sewer services to the school, it must be located within the City limits. The
school is also interested in taking advantage of the City's police services, in particular
the School Resource Officer Program, which provides drug awareness and crime
prevention activities. For fire services, the school is currently serviced by the
Woodbridge Fire District and the service will remain unchanged. Staff was
recommending approval of the prezone.

y• , MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Community Development Department
e
To: Planning Commission
From: Community Development Department
Date: December 13, 2000
Subject: Request of Lodi Southwest Associates for 1) a General Plan Amendment to
change from PR, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood Community
Commercial; and 2) a Prezoning from AU -20, Agriculture Urban Reserve to CS,
Commercial Shopping, for a 15.5 acre portion of the property located at 302 State
Route Highway 12, APN No. 058-030-01.
SUMMARY
In its simplest form, the project is the annexation of roughly 15.5 acres of property adjacent to the
extreme southwest corner of the City. Also part of the project is a General Plan Amendment request to
change from a PR, Planned Residential designation to NCC, Neighborhood Community Commercial, and
a Prezoning request to assign a C -S zoning classification. No development proposal has been put forth at
this time to accompany the annexation request. In all likelihood, a shopping center encompassing both
the subject site and the 21 -acre parcel on the comer will be built in the near future.
The rectangular shaped approximately 52 -acre parcel at issue, assessor's number 058-030-01, is located
at 302 State Route 12, west of the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane (State
Highway 12). At present, the subject parcel lies outside the City of Lodi boundaries in the jurisdiction of
San Joaquin County, and the eastern edge of the subject parcel abuts the existing City limits of Lodi. As
requested, a portion of the subject site roughly 15.5 acres in size, is planned for annexation to the City of
Lodi. If approved, upon completion of the annexation, a portion of the parcel 1,246 feet long and 545
feet wide will become part of the City while the remainder (roughly 36.5 acres) will still be under the
jurisdiction of San Joaquin County.
To prepare the land for commercial development, Lodi Southwest Associates has applied for annexation
to the City Lodi, for a General Plan Land Use Amendment to change from PR, Planned Residential to
NCC, Neighborhood Community Commercial, and for a Prezoning from AU -20 (County zoning), to CS,
Commercial Shopping. Specific uses permitted within the future shopping center as well as the design of
the shopping center itself will be determined through subsequent Use Permit and Site Plan and
Architectural Review Committee (SPARC) applications.
BACKGROUND
The property around the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane is unofficially
known as the "Four Corners". Most of the City's new commercial, retail, and services businesses are
being built here. Both the northeast and southeast corners of this intersection contain shopping centers
anchored by major retailers. The balance of both sites is made up of other smaller retail pads,
restaurants, gas stations, etc. Currently, plans are in the works to develop the northwest comer into a
shopping center as well. With approval of the proposed annexation and land use amendments, this will
prepare the property to accommodate commercial shopping center uses in a similar fashion to the
existing comers. A shopping center was previously planned to on the 21 -acre comer parcel, so the face
of development is not changing dramatically. A new shopping center on the southwest comer would be
bigger (by 15.5 acres) than previously expected.
CD l:\Community Development\PlanninglSTAFFRP n2000Q-00-06.doc
ANALYSIS
The Annexation, General Plan Amendment, and Prezoning are the first steps necessary to develop this
property if it is to be done within the City of Lodi. In all likelihood, the County of San Joaquin, the City,
and the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) would be opposed to allowing urbanization to
occur so close to the incorporated boundary, yet still be in the county. The area is included in the City's
sphere of influence and the General Plan, meaning the City has expectations about development at this
location. We have anticipated growth and expansion of City boundaries here, and are planning to
accommodate this property with City utilities and other services, so it makes sense to all parties involved
that prior to any development, the property be brought under the auspices of the City.
As planned, the western terminus of the portion of the subject parcel in question will be the edge of a
planned north -south running minor collector street with a signalized intersection at Kettleman Lane.
This street will serve development on both the north and south sides of Kettleman Lane including the
subject site. In order to provide the necessary land area for desired development and to provide
necessary infrastructure, i.e., the new roadway, staff is recommending approval of the annexation as per
the conditions on the attached Resolutions.
If and when the requested actions are approved by the Planning Commission, this request is still subject
to approval by the Lodi City Council, and the Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO). Further,
any commercial development at the subject location would require additional discretionary approvals
from the Planning Commission in the form of Use Permit approval, and Site Plan and Architectural
Review Committee (SPARC) approval. Staff sees no objection to annexing this property to the City and
changing the land use designations to pave the way for commercial shopping center development.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request of Lodi Southwest Associates for
1) a General Plan Amendment to change from PR, Planned Residential to NCC, Neighborhood
Community Commercial; and 2) a Prezoning from AU -20, Agriculture Urban Reserve to CS,
Commercial Shopping, for a 15.5 acre portion of the property located at 302 State Route Highway 12,
APN No. 058-030-0, subject to the conditions on the attached Resolutions.

Site Characteristics:
The rectangular shaped parcel in question is located at 302 State
Route 12 and is approximately 52 acres. Currently, the eastern
edge of the subject parcel abuts the existing City limits of Lodi.
Roughly 15.5 acres is planned to be annexed to the City of Lodi.
Upon completion of the annexation, a portion of the parcel 1,246
feet long and 545 feet -wide will become part of the City. The
subject parcel has flat topography, and is not actively producing
any agricultural crop. Rather, it is covered in weeds.
General Plan Designation: PR, Planned Residential
Zoning Designations: AU -20, Agricultural Urban Reserve (San Joaquin County zoning
designation)
Property Size: 52 acres
Adiacent Zoning and Land Use:
North: C -S and R-2; Commercial Shopping and Single Family Residential. To the north
of the project site, across State Route 12 is land zoned for both shopping center
and residential uses. There is one single family dwelling with outbuildings (an
old farmhouse) set back off State Route 12. Remaining land is vacant
agricultural land covered with weeds.
South: AU -20 Agricultural Urban Reserve. Adjacent on the south are properties within
the jurisdiction of San Joaquin County with a County designation. This land is
currently being used as a vineyard.
East: Commercial Shopping, C -S. Adjacent directly on the east is vacant land within
the City of Lodi zoned for shopping center uses. The Iand is currently not

CD JACommunity Development\Planning\STAFFRPT\1-0002-00-06r.doc
West: AU -20, Agricultural Urban Reserve. Adjacent on the west side of the property is
another property in the County with a county zoning. The land is vacant
agricultural land.
Neighborhood Characteristics:
This subject neighborhood is located in the extreme southwest corner of the urbanized area of
Lodi. Unofficially, the area is referred to as the "four corners," as it is a busy, prominent
intersection. The area contains the largest tracts of land zoned for commercial retail and service
businesses, so most of the City's new shopping center commercial uses are being built here.
Both the northeast and southeast comers of the intersection of Lower Sacramento Road and
Kettleman Lane are developed with shopping center retail stores. Both the northwest and
southwest corners are still vacant, but planned for shopping center uses. As the "four corners"
continues to develop, it will remain the hub of Lodi's shopping area.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS:
Negative Declaration ND 00-11 has been prepared in accordance with CEQA. This document
adequately addresses possible adverse environmental effects of this project. No significant
impacts are anticipated.

RESOLUTION NO. 2001-60
A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL FOR APPLICATION TO
THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION
COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF THE SOUTHWEST ASSOCIATION
ANNEXATION/REORGANIZATION, INCLUDING THE DETACHMENT
OF CERTAIN TERRITORY WITHIN THE AREA PROPOSED FOR
ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF LODI
WHEREAS, this proposal is made pursuant to the Local Government
Reorganization Act; and
WHEREAS, the nature of the proposed change of organization is the annexation
to the City of Lodi of an area comprising of 15.5 acres portion more or less adjacent to
the City limits located at 302 State Route Highway 12; and withdrawal of said 15.5 acres
from the Woodbridge Rural County Fire Prevention District, Woodbridge Irrigation
District, and the San Joaquin County Resource Conservation District, located within the
area to be annexed to the City of Lodi, (APN's 058-030-01), as described in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the subject area proposed to be annexed to the City of Lodi and
detached from the Woodbridge Rural County Fire Protection District, Woodbridge
Irrigation District, and the San Joaquin County Resource Conservation District is
uninhabited; and
and
WHEREAS, no new districts are proposed to be formed by this reorganization;
WHEREAS, the reasons for this proposal are as follows:
(1) The uninhabited subject area is within the urban confines of the City and
will generate service needs substantially similar to that of other incorporated urban
areas which require municipal government service;
(2) Annexation to the City of Lodi of the subject area will result in improved
economics of scale in government operations while improving coordination in the
delivery of planning services;
(3) The residents and taxpayers of the County of San Joaquin will benefit
from the proposed reorganization as a result of savings to the County by reduction of
County required services in unincorporated but urban oriented area;
(4) The subject area proposed to be annexed to the City of Lodi is
geographically, socially, economically and politically part of the same urban area of
which the City of Lodi is also a pan`;
(5) The subject area is within the Lodi Sphere of Influence; and
(6) Future inhabitants in the subject area will gain immediate response in
regard to police and fire protection, unlimited City garbage and trash collection service,
street lighting service, a modern sewer system, other municipal services, and
improvement of property values.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council that the San
Joaquin County Local Agency Formation Commission is hereby requested to approve
the proposed "Southwest Association Reorganization" which includes annexation of 15.5
acres more or less, and detachment from the Woodbridge Rural County Fire Protection
District, Woodbridge Irrigation District, and the San Joaquin County Resource
Conservation District as described in Exhibit A attached hereto. This is all subject to the
aforementioned terms and conditions.
