� �FORa
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution approving the Westside Facility Master Plan
MEETING DATE: February 21, 2001
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the Westside Facility Master Plan.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As the City Council may recall, City staff began a comprehensive look
at City facility needs for the Westside area between Kettleman Lane
and the Woodbridge Irrigation District canal last year. The Council
heard a presentation at a shirtsleeve meeting in December. Prior to
that, the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend approval of the
plan.
The City of Lodi provides a variety of public infrastructure to residents and visitors as development of property
takes place. Historically, the provision of services has been done on a reactive basis when a project proponent
makes application. Generally, the infrastructure design and location are shown in one or a number of larger master
plans, but exact location is left to sort out when they are actually needed. Examples of this planning includes the
Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Storm Drainage Master Plan and Circulation Element of the General Plan.
Program Discussion
This past spring, City staff of various departments met to discuss the potential issues related to continued
development of property west of Lower Sacramento Road. To date, the City has allowed projects to proceed that
front onto Lower Sacramento Road and that could provide on-site storm drainage. However, two projects (St.
John's Episcopal Church and the proposed shopping center on the Geweke property) were pressing the need for
some definition of the collector street proposed in a north -south direction. The Westside Facility Master Plan Area
is located along the western fringe of the City's General Plan boundary. The plan area is envisioned as the City's
next major growth area, offering new housing and commercial development opportunities.
The Westside Facility Master Plan sets forth the vision for public facilities to support existing and planned housing
and commercial development within the plan area. This Master Plan responds to the City of Lodi General Plan
land use patterns, circulation, and public services and utilities envisioned for the plan area to ensure the plan area's
vitality.
The Westside Facility Master Plan is intended to identify and plan for neighborhood and community parks,
circulation and storm drainage improvements necessary to support 375 acres of existing and planned growth. The
plan serves as the basis for formulating and implementing capital improvement plans for public facilities within the
plan area to meet the needs of growth projected by the City's General Plan. The plan considered both existing and
projected growth in the plan area, as well as outside the plan area.

In addition, public educational needs for the plan area have been included in this Master Plan. The
vitality of neighborhoods includes recognizing the importance of providing schools to accommodate
projected student enrollment anticipated by planned growth. Student enrollment projection and school
site needs were derived from the City of Lodi General Plan and the Lodi Unified School District.
Growth is starting to take place in the Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan Area. A commercial
development has been proposed and a new church site has been approved. Proposals for new residential
development are also being discussed. The development of major facilities such as circulation, parks and
open space, schools, water and drainage will be required for growth of the plan area.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
The Westside Facilities Master Plan Area is located along the western fringe of the City of Lodi's Gen-
eral Plan boundary, at the crossroads of two major regional roadways. The Plan Area is envisioned as the
City's next major growth area, offering new housing and commercial development opportunities.
The Westside Facilities Master Plan sets forth the vision for public facilities to support existing and
planned housing and commercial development within the Plan Area. This Plan responds to the City of
Lodi General Plan land use patterns, circulation, and public services and utilities envisioned for the Plan
Area to ensure the Plan Area's vitality.
The Westside Facilities Master Plan is intended to identify and plan for neighborhood and community
parks, circulation, and storm drainage improvements necessary to support 390 acres of existing and
planned growth. The Plan serves as the basis for formulating and implementing capital improvement
plans for public facilities within the Plan Area to meet the needs of growth projected by the City's
General Plan. The Plan considered both existing and projected growth in the Plan Area, as well as
outside the Plan Area.
In addition, public educational needs for the Plan Area have been included in this 'Master Plan. The
vitality of neighborhoods includes recognizing the importance of providing schools to accommodate
projected student enrollment anticipated by planned growth. Student enrollment projection and school
site needs were derived from the City of Lodi General Plan.
Growth is starting to take place in the Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan Area. A new commercial
development has been approved as well as a new church site. Major facilities such as circulation, parks
and open space, schools, water and drainage are key elements that need to be addressed in the growth of
the Plan Area. The City of Lodi recognizes the requirement for this Facilities Master Plan to guide the
development of the Westside Plan Area.
1.2 Plan Area
The Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan Area is located in the western portion of the City of Lodi's
Planning Area. The Plan Area is shaped by the Woodbridge Irrigation (W.I.D.) Canal on the north, Lower
Sacramento Road on the east, Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) on the south and by Lodi's General Plan
Boundary (1/2 mile west of Lower Sacramento Road) on the west (see Figure 1, Location Map). The
Plan Area is approximately 390 acres with approximately 110 acres within Lodi's City Limits and ap-
proximately 280 acres in the City of Lodi's General Plan Sphere of Influence. A total of 87 parcels exist
within the Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan Area.

Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
1.3 Site Conditions
1.3.1 Existing Land Uses
The Lodi General Plan Land Use designations for the Plan Area include Planned Residential, Low Den-
sity Residential, Neighborhood/Community Commercial, Office and Public/Quasi Public. General Plan
Land Use designations north of the W.I.D. Canal include Low and Medium Density Residential; east of
Lower Sacramento include Low Density Residential, Office and Neighborhood/Community Commer-
cial; south of Ketdeman Lane include Neighborhood/ Community Commercial and Agriculture; and
west of the Plan Area's edge includes Agriculture. The Lodi General Plan Land Use designations for the
Plan Area are exhibited in Figure 2.
The Plan Area consists predominantly of agriculture uses such as vineyards and orchards. Existing resi-
dences are sparse along Kettleman Lane, with a higher concentration on the northwest corner of Taylor
Road and Lower Sacramento Road. A commercial retail center anchored by a Raley's store presides on
the southwest corner of Lodi Avenue and Lower Sacramento Road. An existing church, Temple Baptist
Church, located on the northwest corner of Vine Street and Lower Sacramento Road has just expanded.
Adjacent uses to the Plan Area include single —family homes north of the W.I.D. Canal and along the
west side of Lower Sacramento Road. Office uses are located on the west side of Lower Sacramento
Road, north of Vine Street. Commercial retail centers are located on the northeast and southwest cor-
ners of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road.
The Westside Facilities Master Plan Area is expecting significant new development to occur in the imme-
diate future. There is currently a proposal for a commercial retail center for the northwest corner of
Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road. The City recently approved the construction of a new
church and Christian school, on Lower Sacramento Road, between Tokay Street and Taylor Road.
1.3.2 Circulation
The Plan Area is served by Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman Lane. Existing circu-
lation conditions on Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman lane, are heavily influenced
by commuters and shopping related travel patterns.
The Lodi General Plan designates Kettleman Lane as a six lane divided arterial. West of Lower Sacra-
mento Road, Kettleman Lane is currently improved to a two lane undivided facility. East of Lower
Sacramento Road, Kettleman Lane widens to a four lane undivided facility with auxiliary turn lanes. The
intersection of Kettleman Lane and Lower Sacramento Road is signalized. The City of Lodi Bicycle
Master Plan identifies Kettleman Lane to include Class Il bicycle lanes.
The Lodi General Plan designates Lower Sacramento Road as a 4 to 6 lane divided arterial. Lower
Sacramento Road is currently improved as a two lane undivided facility. Improvement Plans for Lower
Sacramento Road within the Plan Area have been approved which will improve Lower Sacramento Road
to a four to six lane facility. There are three roadways that lead into the Plan Area from Lower Sacra-
mento Road. Two of these roadways, Tokay Street, and Vine Street are designated as collectors. The
third, Taylor Road, serves as a local residential road.

Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
The Lodi General Plan designates Lodi Avenue within the Plan Area (west of Lower Sacramento Road)
as a two lane undivided collector and as a four lane undivided collector east of Lower Sacramento Road.
Only a limited portion of Lodi :-Avenue west of Lower Sacramento Road has been improved to two lane
undivided collector standards.
1.4 Relationship to City Documents
The 1991 City of Lodi General Plan, 1994 Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan, 1994 Lodi
Bicycle Transportation Master Plan and the 2000 Improvement Plans for the Lower Sacramento Road
provide guidance and direction for the Master Plan Concepts.
This Master Plan is an implementation tool of the City's General Plan, and the City's Park, Recreation
and Open Space Plan. The Westside Facilities Master Plan provides a bridge between the broad based
policies provided in the City's General Plan and the City's Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan and
the framework necessary for site specific planning and design.
A number of goals in the City General Plan especially pertain to the Land use patterns, circulation, and
public services and utilities envisioned for the Plan Area to ensure the Plan Area's vitality. These
goals include:
Land Use and Growth Management
Goal H — "To provide adequate land for development of public and quasi -public uses to
support existing and new residential, commercial and industrial land uses"
■- Goal I — " To provide for new school facilities as they are needed"
Goal J — "To provide an adequate level of service in the City's water, sewer collection and
disposal, and drainage system to meet the needs of existing and projected development"
Housing
Goal C — "To ensure the provisions of adequate services to support existing and future resi-
dential development"
Circulation
• Goal A — "To provide for a circulation system that accommodates existing and proposed land
uses and provides for the efficient movement of people, goods, and services within and
through Lodi"
• Goal B — "To ensure the adequate provision of both on -street and off-street parking"
• Goal D — "To provide a safe and convenient pedestrian circulation system"
• Goal E — "To encourage the use of bicycles as an alternate mode of transportation"
Paries, Recreation and Open Space
Goal A — "To establish and maintain a public park system suited to enhancing the livability of
the urban environment by meeting the open space and recreation needs of Lodi residents and
visitors; providing parks for residential neighborhoods; and preserving significant open space
TAC nllrrc ¢"
1.0 INTRODUCTION 5
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
• Goal D — "To provide adequate land for open space as a framework for urban development
and to meet the active and passive recreational needs of the community"
Urban Design and Cultural Resources
Goal A — "To provide a strong and clear definition to the edges and overall urban form of the
City'
Goal B — "To establish identifiable, visually appealing, and memorable entrances to the City"
• Goal F — "To preserve e_cisting community character and fabric, and promote the creation of a
small-town atmosphere in newly developing areas"
The Westside Facilities blaster Plan implements the City's Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan
elements for a future neighborhood Park proposed for the Plan Area. The Facility Master Plan re-
sponds to the Lodi Bicycle Transportation Plan, regarding proposed bikeway alignments within the
Plan Area. The Master Plan also incorporates the improvement plans for the Lower Sacramento Road.
1.5 Community Involvement
From the onset, community participation was identified to be key to the success of the Westside Facili-
ties Master Plan. Two community workshops were provided to give Plan Area residents, property own-
ers and interested parties an opportunity to participate and share their ideas, needs and concerns. Public
input shared at the community workshops provided the framework for the public facility recommenda-
tions presented in this Master Plan.
1.5.1 Community Workshop #1
The first of two scheduled community workshops was held on May 15, 2000. The purpose of the first
workshop was to introduce the Westside Facilities Master Plan process to the Plan Area residents, prop-
erry owners and interested parties, identify e:tisting physical land use opportunities and constraints within
the Plan Area, and to present preliminary land use and circulation concepts for public input and com-
ment. Color renderings of conceptual land use/circulation plan alternatives, Plan Area opportunities and
constraints, the City General Plan land use map and an aerial photo of the Plan Area were displayed.
Approxirnately 30 Plan Area residents, property owners and citizens with an interest in the Westside
Master Plan attended the first workshop.
The workshop focused on the essential public facilities for providing healthy interactive neighborhoods
and sense of community. Topics addressed included the importance of providing diversity in housing
densities, provisions of adequate public facilities (e.g., parks, open space, schools) all within walking
distance from home, and the need to provide adequate retail and other commercial needs to support
neighborhood and surrounding community needs. Street designs, which foster neighborhood interaction
and community -wide circulation needs, were also discussed. Three Plan Area land use/circulation con-
cepts were presented at the community workshop. All three concepts were based on the City General
Plan land use designations identified in Figure 2. Each concept presented a variation to internal circula-
tion, and siting of a neighborhood park/aquatic center, stormwater detention basin, an elementary school
and an electrical substation.
1.0 INTRODUCTION 6
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
Based on the information presented at the community workshop, the participants overwhelmingly pre-
ferred a centralized neighborhood park and elementary school to serve the Plan Area. The participants
also overwhelmingly preferred a circulation plan that would serve the needs of the Plan Area, while
avoiding a circulation system that would serve as an alternative route to Lower Sacramento Road. Other
recommendations receiving consensus from the workshop participants included placement of the Aquatic
Center in an area that would result in the least amount of disruption to the Plan Area neighborhoods and
the placement of the Electrical Substation south of Ketdeman Lane. The City's Electric Utility Depart-
ment staff supported the placement of an electrical substation south of Kettleman Lane in the vicinity
of Lower Sacramento Road.
A consensus was not reached on the implementation of a linear open space (greenbelt) corridor strad-
dling the Plan Area's westerly boundary. A number of participants spoke in favor of implementing a
greenbelt corridor. Participants, who spoke in favor of the greenbelt, supported the concept of imple-
menting a buffer or transition zone between future urban development and eXisting agriculture, and the
possibility of integrating a multiple of uses (e.g., stormwater basins, pedestrian and bicycle trail) within
the Greenbelt Corridor. A number of participants also voiced concerns about implementing a greenbelt
corridor. Participants, who spoke against the greenbelt, were not supportive of linear park/detention
basin concept because the designation of a greenbelt corridor could devalue properties directly affected
by the implementation of the Greenbelt Corridor.
1.5..2 Community Workshop #2
The second community workshop was held on August 7, 2000. The purpose of the second workshop
was to present the Facility and Circulation Concept Plan and provide an opportunity for the participants
to comment on the Facility and Circulation Concept Plan. Color renderings of the Facility and Circula-
tion Concept Plan, Street Sections, Greenbelt Corridor Concept and Westside (Cochran) Park Concept
were displayed. Approximately 30 Plan Area residents, property owners and citizens with an interest in
the Westside Facilities Master Plan attended the second workshop. Approximately one-third of the
citizens who attended the second community workshop also attended the first community workshop. To
provide first time participants an opportunity to understand the purpose of the Facilities blaster Plan,
the second community workshop included an overview of the Facilities Master Plan process.
Based on the information presented at the community workshop and from the public input received, the
workshop participants overwhelmingly supported the location and accessibility of the neighborhood
park/aquatic center and elementary school illustrated in the Facility and Circulation Concept Plan. The
participants also supported the overall circulation improvements presented in the Facility and Circula-
tion Concept Plan and Street Section renderings. As in the case of the first workshop, a consensus was
not reached on the implementation of a greenbelt corridor straddling the Plan Area's westerly boundary.
Again, a number of participants spoke in favor for or against the implementation of a greenbelt corridor.
Participants, who spoke in favor of the Greenbelt Corridor, supported the concept of implementing a
buffer between future urban development and existing agriculture. Other comments supportive of the
Greenbelt Corridor focused on the Greenbelt Corridor's consistency with the City Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Plan as well as the Greenbelt Corridor's ability to meet the Plan Area's stormwater manage-
ment needs through the use of an integrated chain of lagoons or ponds. Participants, who expressed
concern about implementation of the Greenbelt Corridor, were not supportive of the linear park/deten-
tion basin concept because the designation of a Greenbelt Corridor would devalue properties directly
affected by imnlerimentation of the Greenbelt Corridor.

CONCEPTUAL LAND USE/CIRCULATION PLAN FIGURE 3
2.0 LAND USE 9
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
The following land use descriptions are consistent with the City's General Plan, as shown in Figure 3.
2.1 Low Density Residential (LDR)
Low Density Residential provides for single-family detached and attached units, secondary residential
units, public and quasi -public uses and compatible uses. The Lodi General Plan permits up to 5 dwelling
units per acre with an average of 2.7 persons per dwelling unit. As shown in Table 1, the Plan Area
includes 31 acres of LDR. As Table 1 depicts, 31 acres of LDR could potentially yield 155 new and
existing homes.
2.2 Planned Residential (PR)
The Plan Area is predominantly designated Planned Residential. The Planned Residential designation is
applied to large undeveloped areas in the unincorporated areas of the Lodi General Plan Sphere of
Influence. Planned Residential piovides for single-family detached and attached units, secondary resi-
dential units, multifamily residential units, parks, open space, public and quasi -public uses, and compat-
ible uses. A goal of the General Plan is to establish that residential units within Planned Residential
areas maintain a density mix of 65 percent low density, 10 percent medium density and 25 percent high
density. The Lodi General Plan permits up to 7 dwelling units per acre with an average of 2.6 persons
per dwelling unit. As noted in Table 1, approximately 170 acres of the Plan Area is designated PR. This
could potentially yield approximately 1,180 single and multi -family units.
2.3 Neighborhood/Community Commercial (NCC)
Neighborhood /Community Commercial provides for neighborhood and local retail and services, multi-
family residential units, public and quasi -public uses and compatible uses. The Lodi General Plan per-
mits a floor to area ratio (FAR) of 0.40 or less for commercial uses and up to 20 residential dwelling units
per acre with an average of 2.25 persons per dwelling unit. The General Plan defines FAR as the ratio of
building square footage to lot square footage. The Lodi Westside Facilities blaster Plan Area includes
approximately 40 acres of NCC (refer to Table 1). approximately 40 acres of NCC could potentially
yield approximately 662,100 square feet of new and existing commercial floor space.
2.4 Office (0)
Office provides for professional and administrative offices, medical and dental clinics, laboratories, fi-
nancial institutions, multifamily residential units, public and quasi -public uses and compatible uses. The
Lodi General Plan permits a FAR of 0.50 or less for offices uses and up to 20 residential dwelling units
per acre with an average of 2.25 persons per dwelling unit. The Plan Area includes 4 acres of Office
(refer to Table 1). Four acres of Office could potentially yield 87,120 square feet of new office floor
space.
2.5 Public/Quasi-Public (PQP)
Public/Quasi-Public provides for government owned facilities, public and private schools and quasi -
public uses such as hospitals and churches. The Lodi General Plan permits a FAR of 0.50 or less. The
Lodi Westside Facilities blaster Plan Area includes 34 acres of PQP (refer to 'Cable 1). Thirty-four acres
of PQP could potentially yield 740,520 square feet of new and existing floor space.
2.0 LAND USE 10
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
2.6 Population and Housing
Table 1, Land Use Distributions, portrays the projected dwelling units to be developed, and Figure 3,
Facility and Circulation Concept depicts the locations of the residential uses if the Lodi Westside
Facilities Master Plan is implemented.
2.7 Schools
Buildout of the Plan Area could potentially generate approximately 1,500 elementary school (grades K.-
6) students, 390 middle school (grades 7-8) students and 770 high school (grades 9-12) students residing
within the Plan Area. These assumptions are based on the General Plan's proposed students per dwelling
unit for Low Density Residential (LDR) and Planned Residential (PR) designations. Table 2 identifies
the number of K-6 elementary school facilities that will be needed to support the potential population of
the Plan Area.

Buildout of the Plan Area, consistent with the Lodi General Plan, would generate the need for an el-
ementary school site within the Plan Area (refer to Table 2). Based on City General Plan and Lodi
Unified School District policy, an elementary school site requires 10 acres. The Westside Facilities
Master Plan proposes a new elementary school site located south of Tokay Street, adjacent to Road B,
(refer to Figure 3). This site was selected based on its close proximity and access to other public/quasi-
public facilities such as the Westside Park and Aquatic Center. The school site location is also centrally
located within the Plan Area, which would allow the site to be accessible from all residential neighbor-
hoods within the Plan Area.
The circulation system abutting the school site consists of Minor Collectors. These Minor Collectors
include bike lanes that would provide a safe mode of transportation for students. The school site is also
linked to the regional bike and pedestrian path that is located within the Greenbelt Corridor.

School districts operate independently from local government. As such, site selection for the proposed
elementary school will need to be referred to the Lodi Unified School District for approval and acquisi-
tion.
2.8 Electrical Substation
A three -acre electrical substation is proposed south of Kettleman Lane, just outside of the Westside
Facilities Master Plan Area, (refer to Figure 3). It is anticipated the substation will be the terminus of
two new 60 Kilovolts (W) circuits mounted on a single pole line, paralleling Kettleman Lane/Highway
12. The substation would also be linked to an eXisting 60 kV overhead circuit paralleling Lower Sacra-
mento Road, as shown in Figure 4, Electric Substation Concept. All 12 kV distribution circuits from the
substation would be placed underground.

3.0 PARKS AND RECREATION
The Westside Facilities Master Plan provides a range of park and recreational elements consistent with
the City's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan. The City of Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space
Plan recommends the dedication of 2.5 acres of neighborhood parkland and 1.8 acres of community
parkland for every 1,000 residents.
As shown in Table 3, the Plan Area could potentially support an estimated population of approximately
3,480 residents. To support this potential population, the Plan Area, based on the Lodi Park, Recreation
and Open Space Plan, would need to provide approximately 9 acres of neighborhood parkland and
approximately 6 acres of community parkland.

The Plan Area's park and recreational elements are specifically designed to meet the needs of the Plan
Area's existing and future residents. Figure 3 identifies the location of the park and recreational elements
within the Plan Area. Implementation of the park and recreational elements identified in figure 3 will
provide a high quality, neighborhood living environment for the residents of the Plan Area.
According to the City of Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan, neighborhood parks should in-
clude a combination of playground and park designed for recreation activities that are non -supervised
and non -organized. Neighborhood parks should be 3-10 acres in size and provide open space and aes-
thetic quality in the neighborhood. Neighborhood parks should be within walking distance of one-half
mile from neighborhood residents, whom the park is intended to serve.
3.0 PARKS AND OPEN SPACE 13
Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan
Community parks are primarily used for active 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, Recre-
ation 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 Greenbelt Corridor. The park is designed to provide a
variety of active play areas, especially focused on the needs of children. The adjacent Greenbelt Corri-
dor will provide access to surrounding neighborhoods.
Consistent with the Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan, the park provides a three -acre water
feature and multi -use grass areas that can all be utilized as detention basins. As recommended in the
Lodi Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan, the three -acre lake should include a large water fountain to
add visual interest to the overall park site. Since the lake is a significant visual element of the Plan Area,
every effort should be made to keep the lake free of nuisances and as clean and attractive as possible for
the viewing pleasure and enjoyment of the residents.
The design of the lake should include design features which offer a productive ecosystem that provides
recreational and aesthetic pleasure to the Plan Area. These design features include: (1) the proposed
depth of eight feet; (2) a one foot water depth at the lake edge; (3) a well-designed air injection system
(e.g., water fountain, bubbler); and (4) hardpan for the lake bottom. Fish should be planted in the lake to
provide an ecological balance. These and other design features allow the aquatic ecology to remain
balanced with an active lake management.
Swimming and wading in the lake should be prohibited since such activities cannot be properly super-
vised and the water quality necessary to meet State and Local requirements is not practical to maintain.
Signs prohibiting swimming and wading should be posted at strategic locations.
As illustrated in Figure 5, the proposed park uses around the lake include two children's playgrounds,
picnic areas, a paved bicycle and pedestrian pathway system, a soccer field, 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 multi-purpose pool as proposed in the
Master Plan.

The three -acre aquatic center is located at the east end of the park, adjacent to the proposed Elementary
School site. The aquatic center illustrated in Figure 35 includes a water park, a multi-purpose pool, a dive
pool and an office/restroom facilinf. The aquatic center's restroom facility 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 % estside Park via a pedestrian/bicycle trail system.
3.2 Greenbelt Corridor .
Lodi has a well-defined edge that divides its urban uses from abutting agricultural uses, a value cherished
by many residents. However, the proiimity of agricultural operations to urban uses also creates conflicts
affecting both farmers and residents. CQnflicts relating to farming at the urban -agriculture interface can
be minimized by maintaining a "Greenbelt" at the edge of the community as a transition from agriculture
to urban. To maximize the benefits of a "Greenbelt", storm management facilities should be integrated
within a greenbelt and be treated as a public asset, maintained for bio -diversity, ecological balance and
community benefit.
The Greenbelt 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 to Harney Lane. The corridor parallels the western edge of the Plan Area, and establishes a
buffer between urban uses and agricultural opportunities. The width of the Greenbelt Corridor should
range from 200 to 300 feet.
The Greenbelt Corridor also serves as a passive recreational facility with a 12 -foot meandering bike and
pedestrian path, as well as a drainage basin for the Plan area. Within the Plan Area, the =10 -acre Greenbelt
Corridor would be composed of 20-30 acres of connected, lagoon shaped storm water detention basins,
which flow southward towards Kettleman Lane/Highway 12 (refer to Figure 3). The bicycle and pedes-
trian path will serve the community needs. The path should be designed to meander around the lagoon
detention basins. Bridges should be placed at adequate locations to provide safe crossings when the
basins are full, as shown in Figure 6, Greenbelt Corridor Detail. The bicycle and pedestrian path should
provide links to the residential neighborhoods, Westside Park and to a bike and pedestrian path that
connects to the Elementary School.

Landscaping along the Greenbelt 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 area. Two types of lagoons are
suitable for the Greenbelt Corridor to serve as detention facilities; recreational or natural lagoons. Rec-
reational lagoons, as shown in Figure 7, focus on landscaping, providing turf and other landscaping
suitable for play areas. Natural lagoons (as shown in Figure 8) would focus on providing a tranquil,
natural transition between urban development and adjacent agriculture. A Greenbelt Corridor com-
posed of natural lagoons should include native plant species. Wet storm water basins should be designed
and planted with native upland, flood tolerant shoreline and aquatic species to stabilize banks, provide
food and habitat and encourage indigenous plant colonization. Consideration should be given to the
integration of naturalized plantings associated with a storm water lagoon and vegetation on adjoining
parkland.
A zone of protective edge treatment of design and material (e.g., split rail fencing) and signage should be
provided for public safety. Active recreation should be discouraged in the immediate vicinity of the
lagoons. Consideration should also bei en to the alignment of the bicycle and pedestrian path through
the Greenbelt Corridor so that riparian habitat is not adversely affected.
Recognizing the importance of the greenbelt corridor as a major open space and recreational amenity to
Plan Area and the community, it is important that the corridor provide an environment that is safe and
accessible. Paralleling the greenbelt corridor with residential streets would provide safe and convenient
access to the recreational opportunities along the greenbelt corridor. As a recreational and open space
amenity to the Plan Area and gateway to 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 greenbelt corridor should be oriented to encourage maximizing the aesthetic
value of the greenbelt corridor and create an inviting community edge. Preferably, homes adjacent to the
greenbelt corridor should be oriented with the front yard and entry of the home directly facing the
greenbelt corridor. Orientation of residences toward the greenbelt corridor would provide visual access
into the corridor and encourage neighborhood policing of the greenbelt corridor. Homes adjacent to the
greenbelt corridor may be oriented with the side yard facing the greenbelt corridor. However, this type of
orientation should be provided only under limited conditions. Under no circumstances should homes
adjacent to the greenbelt corridor be oriented with the rear yard facing the facing the corridor.

4.0 Circulation Plan
4.0 CIRCULATION PLAN
The grid pattern of streets and short blocks in the older parts of the City permit freedom of movement,
ease of access and a sharing of through -traffic between numerous routes. In contrast, the super block
and cul-de-sac nature of development in newer parts of the City have created disconnected neighbor-
hoods and have increased traffic volumes along major arterials. Super block and cul-de-sac circulation
patterns also create inward -looking neighborhoods, limits movement choice, particularly for walkers and
cyclists, and results in increased traffic volumes on a limited number of streets, requiring sound attenu-
ation walls. Circulation improvements are needed that balance the efficiency and traffic flow capabilities
found in the newer parts of the City with the sense of proximity and ease of access that results from the
older pattern of grid streets.
The Westside Facilities Master Plan establishes a balanced circulation pattern that serves the circulation
needs of the Plan Area reflected in Figure 3. The Plan Area's comprehensive circulation system is
intended to link the Plan Area with the City's overall circulation network, serve all the activities within
the Plan Area, and ensure motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists can travel safely to, from and in the Plan
Area. In addition to circulation requirements, the Plan Area's circulation is designed for aesthetics.
Well-designed and landscaped streets are not only aesthetically pleasing, but in a Central Valley Commu-
nity like Lodi, they are essential to shade streets, sidewalks and yards during the hot summer months.
Trees and other forms of landscaping can also buffer sidewalks and bikeways from vehicular traffic,
screen noise attenuation walls and parking and storage areas, and reduce the perceived intensity of
development.
Figure 9 illustrates the general location of the circulation facilities proposed for the Plan Area. A de-
tailed description of the Plan Area's circulation facilities identified in Figure 9, are described in the
following subsections. The following key acronyms and associated definitions are applicable to the
street sections illustrated in this section:

4.1 Arterials
Arterials provide for inter -city circulation from local and collector streets to highways and regional circu-
lation systems. The City, of Lodi Public Works Standard Plans set forth three types of arterials for the
City: Secondary Arterials, Minor Arterials and Major _arterials.
The Plan Area is served by three arterials, Lodi Avenue, Lower Sacramento Road, and Kettleman Lane/
Highway 12. Access points, intersection stops and turning movements are to be minimized along these
arterials. Where intersections do occur, additional turn lanes are to be provided, as required, to minimize
delays in traffic flow. Parking along arterials will be prohibited.
4.1.1 Kettleman Lane / State Highway 12
Kettleman Lane is a major east -west arterial linking the City of Lodi to Interstate 5 and Highway 99.
The street segment within the Plan Area serves as an entryway to the entire City of Lodi. Within the
Plan Area, Kettleman Lane is intended to serve moderate levels of through traffic. Kettleman Lane will
also serves e.cisting and planned commercial development at all four corners of the Lover Sacramento
Road/Kettleman Lane intersection. -
As illustrated in Figure 10, Kettleman Lane includes two L -foot wide travel lanes, a 14 -foot wide travel
lane and an 8 -foot wide shoulder/bike lane in each direction. Kettleman Lane also includes a 14 -foot
wide landscaped median. Left turn movements are to be restricted to intersections. Right turn move-
ment may be provided at approved commercial driveways. On street parking is prohibited.
Kettleman Lane is intended to take a distinctly "rural" character wrest of the community commercial
development planned at the northwest and southwest comers of Lower Sacramento Road and Kettleman
Lane. Large landscape corridors are included along both sides of Ketdeman Lane west of Road A.
These landscape corridors form a community edge that provides a transition from the rural character
west of the Plan area to the urban environment of the City. The landscape corridor south of Road A
would also serves as a landscaped noise attenuation buffer for the adjoining Plan Area residential areas,
and as a bicycle and pedestrian corridor. The bicycle and pedestrian path west of Road A should link to
the Greenbelt Corridor bicycle and pedestrian path. The street character east of Road A would provide
a more urban environment with narrower landscaped areas and sidewalks (refer to Figure 10).
The landscaping along Kettleman Lane should provide a pleasing entry into the City. Diagonal rows of
trees planted on an orchard grid should be planted in the landscape corridor west of Road A to reflect the
agrarian heritage surrounding the Plan Area. East of Road A, canopy trees should be planted uniformly
at 30 to 50 ft. (on center) intervals. The median should incorporate landscaping, such as accent trees and
low shrubs that do not impede traffic sight lines. This transitional landscaping along Kettleman Lane
would create a gateway into Lodi from the west, and assist in decreasing traffic speeds as vehicles enter
into the community.

4.1.2 Lower Sacramento Road
Lower Sacramento Road, a north south arterial, forms the eastern boundary of the Plan Area. Currently,
Lower Sacramento Road is a two-lane road with a tight -of -way that varies from 80 to 95 feet in the Plan
Area. According to the May 2000 Improvement Plans for the Lower Sacramento Road, Lower Sacra-
mento Road will be improved to a four lane N-Iinor Arterial with a median. As shown in Figure 11, Lower
Sacramento Road will include two travel lanes, and a shoulder %with bike lanes in each direction, planting
strips and sidewalks. Final Lower Sacramento Road right-of-way improvements will vary per the ap-
proved plan. For accurate dimensions, please refer to the May 2000 Improvement Plans for the Lower
Sacramento Road.
Landscaping along Lover Sacramento Road should be uniform. Canopy trees should consist of broad
shade trees, planted at intervals of 30 to 50 feet on center. The median should incorporate landscaping,
such as accent trees and low shrubs that don't impede traffic flow or the motorist's line of sight.

Lodi Avenue traverses through the northern portion of the Plan Area. Currently, Lodi Avenue is a two-
lane road with a right-of-way that varies from 41 to %0 feet. The General Plan envisions Lodi Avenue as
a four lane, undivided arterial. Due to anticipated traffic volumes on Lodi Avenue within the Commer-
cial designated area, Lodi avenue should be developed as a 104 foot wide, four lane, undivided, Second-
ary arterial. This portion of Lodi avenue should include two travel lanes, and a shoulder with bike lanes
in each direction, planting strips and bike lanes will also be provided, as shown in Figure 1?. Vilest of the
Commercial area, Lodi Avenue abuts Residential neighborhoods. For this section, Lodi Avenue should
transition into a two lane, Minor Collector, as shown in Figure 12. Landscaping along Lodi Avenue
should be uniform. Canopy trees should be broad shade trees, planted at 30 to 50 foot on center inter-
vals.

around the perimeter of a large round landscaped area, the round -a -bout would distribute traffic and act
as a dominant community gateway feature at the Lodi Avenue and Road C intersection for the westside
of Lodi. The round -a -bout will slow traffic entering into the City and give drivers a sense of entering
into an urban area. The round landscape area should include accent trees and low shrubs that maintain
view corridors for motorist. The round -a -bout is shown in Figure 13.

4.2 Collectors
The primary function of the Plan _-Area's collectors is to move traffic to and from the Plan .area as well as
to facilitate travel through the Plan Area. The Collectors provide access to Westside Park and Aquatic
Center, the elementary school site, commercial centers and other land uses paralleling Lower Sacramento
Road. Tokay Street and Vine Street are Minor Collectors that would serve the Plan Azea from Lower
Sacramento Road. These two collectors provide a direct link to the planned elementary school site and
the Westside Park and Aquatic Center. Tokay and Vine Streets would also serve emisting and approved
churches along Lower Sacramento Road. Tokay and Vine Streets will be linked together by Road B.
Road B is also a Minor Collector. Street improvements for Tokay and Vine Streets, and Roads B and C
are illustrated in Figure 14.

commercial and residential uses, it is important that cross traffic be controlled. As shoxvn in Figure 13, a
landscape median has been incorporated to minimize left turn movements and direct motorists to con-
trolled intersections and commercial related driveways. Road A includes one travel lane and a bike lane
in each direction_ Planting strips and sidewalks will also be provided, (refer to Figure 15).

4.3 Minor Residential
Minor Residential streets, including cul-de-sacs, provide direct vehicle access to individual residential
properties. Minor Residential streets have the capacity for light, localized traffic volumes and are not
intended for the purpose of thoroughfares. N.Enor Residential streets within the Plan Area should either
intersect with other residential streets or collector streets. Taylor Road should be improved as a Minor
Residential Street.
The Master Plan establishes a Minor Residential street standard to be applied within the Plan Area.
Minor Residential streets, as shown in Figure 16, support a pedestrian scale neighborhood. The roadway
width is intended to accommodate two-way traffic and on street parking, while being narrow enough to
discourage excessive traffic speeds.
Street trees will be provided at the regular intervals of approximately 30 feet on center. The layout of
street trees will also be coordinated on both sides of the street. Placement of street trees in relationship
to an intersection will be subject to minimum sight distance requirements. A broad leaf tree should be
provided as the primary street tree. The form must be able to provide a significant canopy over the street
and sidewalk for shade. The tree species should be selected to create a consistent and distinct streetscape
composition.

A Bicycle Lane or Class II Bikeway is a striped lane within the street or road R.O.W. according to the
Lodi Bicycle Transportation Nlaster Plan, the preferable right-of-way for bike lanes is five feet where on -
street parking is prohibited, and sill feet with a seven foot parking lane, where on -street parking is pernut-
ted, as shown if Figure 17.
The Lodi Westside Facilities Master Plan specifies six-foot bike lanes with seven -foot on -street parking
lanes on Road B, Road C, Tokay Street and Vine Street. Road A will have a six foot bike lane with on -
street parking being prohibited. Kettletnan Lane and Lodi 'avenue will both have eight -foot shoulders
that contain five-foot bike lanes and on -street parking being prohibited. Lower Sacramento should have
a shoulder with bice lane, where on street parking is prohibited.

BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PATH CONCEPT FIGURE 18
As a regional facility, the Greenbelt Corridor would ultimately extend beyond the Plan Area. A bicycle
path should adhere within the Greenbelt Corridor, meandering around the lagoon detention basins within
the Plan Area, and may continue north and south to the extents of the proposed Greenbelt Corridor, as
shown in Figure 6, Greenbelt Corridor Detail. The path would be used for bicyclists and pedestrians.
The path would link the Plan Area neighborhoods through other pathways.
4.5 Pedestrian Facilities
The key pedestrian path should be located along the Greenbelt Corridor to provide alternative modes of
transportation within the Lodi Westside Plan Area, as shown in Figure 5, Greenbelt Corridor Detail. The
path may be combined with a bicycle path, which has the capability of connecting the north side of the
Plan Area to the southern portion of the area with links to residential areas, the Westside Park and
Aquatic Center, the elementary school, and to commercial areas. The pedestrian path may also continue
north and south to the extents of the proposed Greenbelt Corridor.

and both the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to
recommend approval of the plan; and

related to continued development of property west of Lower Sacramento Road, and to
date, the City has allowed projects to proceed that front onto Lower Sacramento Road

offering new housing and commercial development opportunities; and
WHEREAS, the Westside Facility Master Plan sets forth the vision for public
facilities to support existing and planning housing and commercial development within
the plan area, and this Master Plan responds to the City of Lodi General Plan land use
patterns, circulation, and public services and utilities envisioned for the plan area to
ensure the plan area's vitality; and
WHEREAS, the Westside Facility Master Plan is intended to identify and plan for
neighborhood and community parks, circulation and storm drainage improvements
necessary to support 375 acres of existing and planned growth. The plan serves as the

outside the plan area; and
