PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the request of the property owner, the City of Lodi is proposing to annex a parcel of land to the City for the purpose of residential development. The City will be amending its General Plan Land Use Map, and also its zoning map to allow for a single family residential subdivision. The subdivision will encompass approximately 32.5 acres and will consist of approximately 160 low density single-family dwelling units. The entire 32.5 acres will be used for a single- family residential subdivision with required access and street improvements. 4. General Plan Designation (A) Existing (City), (B) Proposed (A) PR, Planned Residential (B) LDR, Low Density Residential Site Description and surrounding land use: The 32.5 acre project site is located at the north-west corner of Lodi. Turner Road, Lodi's northern most east -west arterial, runs along the length of the southern boundary of the property. Lower Sacramento Road, a north -south arterial, intersects with Turner Road approximately one fourth of a mile east of the project site. The site is relatively flat with no extraordinary topographic features other than the Woodbridge. Irrigation District canal levee which borders the project site to the north and west. The existing land use of the site consists of vacant farm land. There are no dwellings or other structures on the property. Surrounding land uses consist of a single family housing development in the community of Woodbridge to the north, a developing single family housing subdivision to the south, a bed and breakfast inn and restaurant and an approved but undeveloped shopping center to the east, and vacant agricultural land to the west. 6. Zoning (A) Existing (County), (B) Proposed (A) GA -1, General Agriculture (B) R-1, Single Family Residential Will the Project Have a Significant Effect Through Any of the Following Impacts? 7. a. Substantial alteration of natural topography, soil or subsoil features? NO b. Substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? NO c. Substantially deplete surface or ground water resources? NO d. Substantially interfere with ground water flow or recharge? NO e. Cause a significant affect related to flood, erosion or siltation? NO f. Substantial interference with the habitat of any species of fish, wildlife or plant? NO g. Violate ambient air quality standards or create substantial air emissions or objectionable odors? MAYBE h. Substantially increase ambient noise or glare level for adjoining areas? NO i. Substantial reduction of existing cropland? MAYBE j. Expose individuals or property to geologic, public health, traffic, flood, seismic or other hazards? NO k. Have a substantial, demonstrable, negative aesthetic effect? NO 1. Result in the disruption or alteration of an archeological, historical or paleontological site? NO m. Cause or allow substantial increase in consumption in any natural resources? NO n. Results in the use or waste of substantial amounts of fuel or energy? NO o. Necessitate major extensions of water, sewer, storm drain, electrical lines or public roads? YES p. Substantial increase in demand for or utilization of public services such as schools or fire or police protection? YES q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic load, street capacity, parking availability or traffic safety? YES r. Induce substantial growth, concentration or displacement of population? YES s. Result in an alteration or conflict with existing or planned land uses? NO t. Conflict with adopted plans, goals or policies of the City of Lodi? NO Adverse impacts of the project and their magnitude: 7g. Violate ambient air quality standards or create substantial air emissions or objectionable odors? During construction of the residential subdivision there may be substantial air emissions in the form of dust and diesel exhaust due to the use of earth moving and other construction equipment. The adverse impact on ambient air quality standards will be limited to the construction period of the project. 7i. Substantial reduction of existing cropland? This project may convert some prime agricultural land to urban uses. 70. Necessitate major extensions of water, sewer, storm drain, electrical lines or public roads? Development of the project will require the install ation/extension of public utilities to the project site. A ten inch water main in the Turner Road right of way is necessary to serve the area. An eight inch sanitary sewer line in the Evergreen Drive and Turner Road rights of way is necessary to serve the area. A storm drainage system will have to be designed to service the area. 7p. Substantial increase in demand for or utilization of public services such as schools or fire or police protection? At this time the construction of 160 new housing units will not have a significant effect on police and fire protection; hoNN ever, residential projects of this size could create a significant impact on school facilities based on the increased number of school-age children. 7q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic load, street capacity, parking availability or traffic safety? Additional vehicle trips will change transportation patterns related to existing traffic loads and street capacity in the immediate project area. 7r. Induce substantial growth, concentration or displacement of population? The introduction of 160 new homes will contribute to the growth of the City. Mitigation Measures to Reduce Adverse Impacts Identified by Initial Study: AIR QUALITY: The ultimate conversion of the project site to a single-family residential subdivision may cause a small decrease in ambient air quality standards and increase air emissions. Increases in the number of vehicle trips in and around the City may create a substantial increase in vehicle emissions for an area that was once vacant farm land. Chapter 15, Air Quality, of the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report states that "the City of Lodi will coordinate development project review with the San Joaquin County APCD in order to minimize future increases in vehicle travel and to assist in implementing any indirect source regulations adopted by the APCD." The City of Lodi shall implement a number of mitigation measures prescribed by the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District in order to reduce the potential impact from fugitive dust due to earth moving and other construction activities. The mitigations will be listed as follows: • All material excavated or graded should be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering should occur at least twice a day with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and after work is done for the day. • All clearing, grading earth moving or excavation activities shall cease during periods of high winds greater than 20 mph average over one hour. • All material transported off-site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amount of dust. • The area disturbed by clearing, earth moving or excavation activities should be minimized at all times. On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph. Air quality could also be affected by an increase in vehicle emissions that will result from increased numbers of vehicle trips in and around the project area. The impact on air quality from vehicle emissions may not be significant or need any mitigations. According to the trip generation rates established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the number of daily vehicle trips created from a 160 unit single-family residential subdivision is approximately 176 peak hour trips and 1600 daily trips. The impact on air quality from vehicle emissions will not be significant. By implementing the mitigation measures listed above the temporary impacts from construction on air quality will be reduced to less than significant levels. CROP LAND, This project may convert some prime agricultural land to urban uses. Lodi's General Plan has identified the conversion of prime agricultural land as an adverse impact on development. The only mitigation measure available is prohibiting development of agricultural lands. Since this would lead to a halt to all new development, it is seen as an unavoidable impact. However, policies in the Conservation Element of the General Plan are aimed at delaying the loss of prime lands and facilitating continued agricultural uses. Some of these policies include adopting a "right -to -farm" ordinance for adjacent landowners, establishing buffer zones between urban uses and agricultural uses, and designating an open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City. UTILITIES, The City will periodically update public works capital improvements needs assessment studies to ensure that new facilities will be provided to meet the increased demand on water, sewer, storm drain and electrical services. The City shall assess fees on all new development to cover the costs of such new services. Due to the fact that the additional service extensions will be developed in accordance with the City's master plans, the impacts are deemed to be less than significant. PUBLIC SERVICES, Additional public services such as police, fire, and schools will be needed to meet the increased demand. The City will assess fees on all new development to fund the required additional police, fire, and school services. Adding personnel, equipment and facilities to maintain targeted response times and other service levels reduces the impact on fire and police protection to less than significant levels. A residential project of this size could produce a significant amount of additional school-age children. According to the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report this project will produce approximately 154 additional school age children. These students would attend schools in the Lodi Unified School District which is currently impacted due to overcrowding. In order to mitigate the problem of school overcrowding the developer will be required to pay any school impaction fees that may be in effect at the time of approval. Payment of the school impaction fees will reduce the impact on school facilities to a less than significant level by providing funding for increased staffing, equipment and facilities.. Police and Fire departments will also benefit from development impact mitigation fees that will also be used for increased staffing, equipment and facilities. CIRCULATION: Additional vehicle trips will change transportation patterns related to existing traffic loads and street capacity in the immediate project area. In order to mitigate the impacts from traffic related problems, "The City shall review new developments for consistency with the General Plan Circulation Element and the capital improvements program. Those developments found to be consistent with the Circulation Element shall be required to pay their fair share of traffic impact fees. Those developments found to be generating more traffic than that assumed in the Circulation Element shall be required to prepare a site-specific traffic study and fund needed improvements not identified in the capital improvements program, in addition to paying their fair share of the traffic impact fees." The traffic impact fee will be used to finance future improvements such as traffic signals and street widening projects for older intersections and streets congested by new development. The project site is designated in the City's General Plan as PR, Planned Residential, so its circulation needs were projected with the proposed development in mind. According to the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report, a single-family subdivision produces 1.1 peak hour and 10 daily trip ends per dwelling unit (a trip end = 1 way). In other words, the proposed subdivision will create approximately 176 one way trips during the busiest traffic periods of a day, and an overall number of 1600 one way trips throughout the entire 24 hours of a day. The traffic impacts that will result from development of the project will have a cumulative impact on the City as a whole; however, we believe that the implementation of the City's improvement designs based on the General Plan Circulation Element will be an adequate mitigation to reduce traffic impacts in the immediate area to a less than significant level. GROWTH, The City's General Plan is based on a two percent (2%) annual growth rate. Development will be regulated so as not to exceed two percent in any given year. Because growth will be consistently maintained and not exceed the City's projections, the impact is reduced to less than significant. RECOMMENDATION: MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION JAMES B.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: At the request of the property owner, the City of Lodi is proposing to annex a parcel of land to the City for the purpose of residential development. The City will be amending its General Plan Land Use Map, and also its zoning map to allow for a single family residential subdivision. The subdivision will encompass approximately 32.5 acres and will consist of approximately 160 low density single-family dwelling units. The entire 32.5 acres will be used for a single- family residential subdivision with required access and street improvements. 4. General Plan Designation (A) Existing (City), (B) Proposed (A) PR, Planned Residential (B) LDR, Low Density Residential 5. Site Description and surrounding land use: The 32.5 acre project site is located at the north-west corner of Lodi. Turner Road, Lodi's northern most east -west arterial, runs along the length of the southern boundary of the property. Lower Sacramento Road, a north -south arterial, intersects with Turner Road approximately one fourth of a mile east of the project site. The site is relatively flat with no extraordinary topographic features other than the Woodbridge. Irrigation District canal levee which borders the project site to the north and west. The existing land use of the site consists of vacant farm land. There are no dwellings or other structures on the property. Surrounding land uses consist of a single family housing development in the community of Woodbridge to the north, a developing single family housing subdivision to the south, a bed and breakfast inn and restaurant and an approved but undeveloped shopping center to the east, and vacant agricultural land to the west. 6. Zoning (A) Existing (County), (B) Proposed (A) GA -1, General Agriculture (B) R-1, Single Family Residential Will the Project Have a Significant Effect Through Any of the Following Impacts? 7. a. Substantial alteration of natural topography, soil or subsoil features? NO b. Substantially degrade surface or ground water duality? NO c. Substantially deplete surface or ground water resources? NO d. Substantially interfere with ground water flow or recharge? NO e. Cause a significant affect related to flood, erosion or siltation? NO f. Substantial interference with the habitat of any species of fish, wildlife or plant? NO g. Violate ambient air quality standards or create substantial air emissions or objectionable odors? MAYBE h. Substantially increase ambient noise or glare level for adjoining areas? NO i. Substantial reduction of existing cropland? MAYBE j. Expose individuals or property to geologic, public health, traffic, flood, seismic or other hazards? NO k. Have a substantial, demonstrable, negative aesthetic effect? NO 1. Result in the disruption or alteration of an archeological, historical or paleontological site? NO m. Cause or allow substantial increase in consumption in any natural resources? NO n. Results in the use or waste of substantial amounts of fuel or energy? NO o. Necessitate major extensions of water, sewer, storm drain, electrical lines or public roads? YES p. Substantial increase in demand for or utilization of public services such as schools or fire or police protection? YES q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic load, street capacity, parking availability or traffic safety? YES r. Induce substantial growth, concentration or displacement of population? YES s. Result in an alteration or conflict with existing or planned land uses? NO t. Conflict with adopted plans, goals or policies of the City of Lodi? NO Adverse impacts of the project and their magnitude: 7g. Violate ambient air quality standards or create substantial air emissions or objectionable odors? During construction of the residential subdivision there may be substantial air emissions in the form of dust and diesel exhaust due to the use of earth moving and other construction equipment. The adverse impact on ambient air quality standards will be limited to the construction period of the project. 7i. Substantial reduction of existing cropland? This project may convert some prime agricultural land to urban uses. 7o. Necessitate major extensions of water, sewer, storm drain, electrical lines or public roads? Development of the project will require the installation/extension of public utilities to the project site. A ten inch water main in the Turner Road right of way is necessary to serve the area. An eight inch sanitary sewer line in the Evergreen Drive and Turner Road rights of way is necessary to serve the area. A storm drainage system will have to be designed to service the area. 7p. Substantial increase in demand for or utilization of public services such as schools or fire or police protection? At this time the construction of 160 new housing units will not have a significant effect on police and fire protection; hoN� ever, residential projects of this size could create a significant impact on school facilities based on the increased number of school-age children. 7q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic load, street capacity, parking availability or traffic safety? Additional vehicle trips will change transportation patterns related to existing traffic loads and street capacity in the immediate project area. 7r. Induce substantial growth, concentration or displacement of population? The introduction of 160 new homes will contribute to the growth of the City. Mitigation Measures to Reduce Adverse Impacts Identified by Initial Study: AIR QUALITY: The ultimate conversion of the project site to a single-family residential subdivision may cause a small decrease in ambient air quality standards and increase air emissions. Increases in the number of vehicle trips in and around the City may create a substantial increase in vehicle emissions for an area that was once vacant farm land. Chapter 15, Air Quality, of the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report states that "the City of Lodi will coordinate development project review with the San Joaquin County APCD in order to minimize future increases in vehicle travel and to assist in implementing any indirect source regulations adopted by the APCD." The City of Lodi shall implement a number of mitigation measures prescribed by the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District in order to reduce the potential impact from fugitive dust due to earth moving and other construction activities. The mitigations will be listed as follows: All material excavated or graded should be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Watering should occur at least twice a day with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and after work is done for the day. • All clearing, grading earth moving or excavation activities shall cease during periods of high winds greater than 20 mph average over one hour. • All material transported off-site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amount of dust. • The area disturbed by clearing, earth moving or excavation activities should be minimized at all times. • On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph. Air quality could also be affected by an increase in vehicle emissions that will result from increased numbers of vehicle trips in and around the project area. The impact on air quality from vehicle emissions may not be significant or need any mitigations. According to the trip generation rates established by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the number of daily vehicle trips created from a 160 unit single-family residential subdivision is approximately 176 peak hour trips and 1600 daily trips. The impact on air quality from vehicle emissions will'not be significant. By implementing the mitigation measures listed above the temporary impacts from construction on air quality will be reduced to less than significant levels. CROP LAND, This project may convert some prime agricultural land to urban uses. Lodi's General Plan has identified the conversion of prime agricultural land as an adverse impact on development. The only mitigation measure available is prohibiting development of agricultural lands. Since this would lead to a halt to all new development, it is seen as an unavoidable impact. However, policies in the Conservation Element of the General Plan are aimed at delaying the loss of prime lands and facilitating continued agricultural uses. Some of these policies include adopting a "right -to -farm" ordinance for adjacent . landowners, establishing buffer zones between urban uses and agricultural uses, and designating an open space greenbelt around the urbanized area of the City. UTILITIES, The City will periodically update public works capital improvements needs assessment studies to ensure that new facilities will be provided to meet the increased demand on water, sewer, storm drain and electrical services. The City shall assess fees on all new development to cover the costs of such new services. Due to the fact that the additional service extensions will be developed in accordance with the City's master plans, the impacts are deemed to be less than significant. PUBLIC SERVICES, Additional public services such as police, fire, and schools will be needed to meet the increased demand. The City will assess fees on all new development to fund the required additional police, fire, and school services. Adding personnel, equipment and facilities to maintain targeted response times and other service levels reduces the impact on fire and police protection to less than significant levels. A residential project of this size could produce a significant amount of additional school-age children. According to the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report this project will produce approximately 154 additional school age children. These students would attend schools in the Lodi Unified School District which is currently impacted due to overcrowdin-. In order to mitigate the problem of school overcrowding the developer will be required to pay any school impaction fees that may be in effect at the time of approval. Payment of the school impaction fees will reduce the impact on school facilities to a less than significant level by providing funding for increased staffing, equipment and facilities.. Police and Fire departments will also benefit from development impact mitigation fees that will also be used for increased staffing, equipment and facilities. CIRCULATION: Additional vehicle trips will change transportation patterns related to existing traffic loads and street capacity in the immediate project area. In order to mitigate the impacts from traffic related problems, "The City shall review new developments for consistency with the General Plan Circulation Element and the capital improvements program. Those developments found to be consistent with the Circulation Element shall be required to pay their fair share of traffic impact fees. Those developments found to be generating more traffic than that assumed in the Circulation Element shall be required to prepare a site-specific traffic study and fund needed improvements not identified in the capital improvements program, in addition to paying their fair share of the traffic impact fees." The traffic impact fee will be used to finance future improvements such as traffic signals and street widening projects for older intersections and streets congested by new development. The project site is designated in the City's General Plan as PR, Planned Residential, so its circulation needs were projected with the proposed development in mind. According to the City of Lodi General Plan Environmental Impact Report, a single-family subdivision produces 1.1 peak hour and 10 daily trip ends per dwelling unit (a trip end = 1 way). In other words, the proposed subdivision will create approximately 176 one way trips during the busiest traffic periods of a day, and an overall number of 1600 one way trips throughout the entire 24 hours of a day. The traffic impacts that will result from development of the project will have a cumulative impact on the City as a whole; however, we believe that the implementation of the City's improvement designs based on the 4 General Plan Circulation Element will be an adequate mitigation to reduce traffic impacts in the immediate area to a less than significant level. GROWTH, The City's General Plan is based on a two percent (2%) annual growth rate. Development will be regulated so as not to exceed two percent in any given year. Because growth will be consistently maintained and not exceed the City's projections, the impact is reduced to less than significant. RECOMMENDATION: MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION JAMES B.
