Area West of Downtown Meeting Date: November 16, 1994 Page two c) Certify the filing of a Negative Declaration by the Community Development Director as adequate environmental documentation on the above projects. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: One of the recommendations of Lodi's Downtown Revitalization Consultant, Michael Freedman was to downzone the area west of the Central Business District which was designated for office use. This action had two purposes. First, it would reduce the area in the central city available for office use and would encourage office uses on second floor in the business district. Secondly, it would preserve a residential area which is important to both the downtown and the community. After reviewing Mr. Freedman's request the Planning Commission initiated the downzoning of the area generally south of the alley between Pine and Oak Streets to the commercial property along Lodi Avenue between Church and Hutchins Streets. The Planning Commission's recommendation does not include any properties zoned C-2, General Commercial, or C-1, Neighborhood Commercial, nor properties already used for office purposes along West Pine Street, West Elm Street or North Pleasant Avenue. FUNDING: None required. ]a es B.

Upon motion, of.Commissioaer Hitchcock. seconded by Commissioner Tape nta, and unanimously passed. Chairman Stafford declared the Minutes of the Regular Sessiao of SEPT. 12, 1994 September 12, 1994 approved as mailed. Due to the expected length of the scheduled public bearing the next agenda item, "Special AGENDA ITEM Presentation - Review of City Busline Routes" was moved to the end of the agenda. MOVED PUBLIC HEARING The public hearing was to consider the requests of the Lodi City Planning Commission to GENERAL PLAN (1) amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan to redesignate from "0", Office- AMENDMENT Institutional to "E -R", Eastside - Residential certain panels generally located in the area bounded by Pine Strut, Church Street, Lodi Avenue, and Hutchins Street; (2) to rezone from R- C -P, Residential -Commercial -Professional to R-10, Single Family Residential - Eastside the NEGATIVE same panels, and (3) to certify the filing of a negative declaration by the Community DECLARATION Development Director as adequate environmental documentation on the above projects. Senior R -C -P AREA Planner Morimoto introduced the roamer far the Planning Commission. He described the areas BOUNDED BY included in the request. He stated that the staff study concentrated on a core area where most of PINE ST, CHURCH the properties are still residential and excluded areas like Pine Street and North Pleasant Avenue ST, LODI AVE dt where the majority of properties have already been converted to office uses.. . Commissioner Hitchcock asked what the effect would be on properties currently used for HUTCHINS ST business. Senior Planner Morimoto indicated that any property that had already been converted to an office or apartin= would be considered conforming under the downzoning. This would not necessarily include "Home Occupations" or businesses run out of a regular house. Commissioner Schmidt inquired as to the reason for the proposed downzoning. Chpirman Stafford stated that the downtown revitalization study encourages the location of offices in the downtown arta where the bulk of office space currently is vacant. The Freedman study saw the housing stock in the area immediately west of downtown as desireable older, well maintained homes which should be retained as residential stock. Chairman Stafford then opened the hearing to the public. The first speaker was James Griffith, 1020 Bradford Circle. He suggested that the area along Pine Street north of the area under consideration should be included in the downzoning. He spoke in favor of the rezoning and felt PCIvti94l7.DOC it would help maktak the quality housing in elle area. 'Ilse next speaker, Robin Knowlton, 410 West Oak Street, was in Atvor of thereto "ll; She stated that office conversions IEave buildings in the area tmoccapied 2t, night, crating a neighborhood safety-Owint. Coavasioa diminishes the sense of aaghbahood-atd adversdy affect su:roundins properties. ?he third speaker was Phil White who has a small psychology practice and also resides at 232 South Iiutcliins Street. Mr. White inquired hour staff had determined which houses bad bushman. Mr. Morunoto stated that staff had conducted a visual survey of the area. Mr. White was concerned that if the downzoning is approved he might not be able to use the property solely for a business office should be decide to move his residence from the ara. He stated he had called the police at least 50 times in the last yen beauae of &ftrbanoes created by the adjacent Jack4n-the-Bac and felt the area is no kgper desircable as a resideoW area. He also cited the future widening offlutchins Street leaving very narrow front yards in most am as making the area unsuitable for residential use. He said his lot is deep enough to accommodate several paric ed cars in the rear. Commissioner Schrnidt asked staff about the currant R -C -P zoning. Staff explained the permitted uses. Phil White returned to express disagreemed with the plan to downaone the area to force bushman to.locate downtown. He felt it was unfair to property owners and requested that his property be excluded from the downaone plan. Representing Mr. and Mrs. Don Campbell, owners of a vacantl6,000 square foot parcel at 420 West Walnut Street, Lynette Scherer felt the rezoning would decrease the value of the property. She said the size of the parcel makers it inappropriate for a single-family home and requested that the property be deleted frau the area to be rezoned.. Hal Jones, 235 South Hutchins stated he purchased his property because of the office - residential zoning. He cited the now from Lodi Avenue as making the area unsuitable for residential use and felt R -C -P zoning is a good buffer between commercial and residential uses. He requested that his property and the property next door at 241 South Hutchins be allowed to remain R -C -P. Lance Robinson, a business owner residing at 25 South Hutchins Street disagreed that that the types of businesses in the area downgrade the neighborhood and asked to be excluded frau the Don Shephard, 215 South California Street, congratulated the City for taking action to preserve the residential character of the arra. He voiced his support for the rezoning. Pat Santoni, 323 West Oak Street stated she has worked in real estate artd is interested in downtown revitalization but is curious as to who or what type of businesses will be drawn to downtown. She wanted to know what has been accomplished as a result of the Freedman study and the workshops. In response to Ms. Santoni's inquiry, Commissioner Hitchcock said a lot is going on behind the scenes that most people are not aware of. She also indicated her interest in the dow nzoning proposal is primarily to preserve the older residences rather than to promote downtown revitalization. Conunissioner Lapenta who said he is a downtown merchant noted that he is impressed with the downtown revitalization effort, but also has questions about some of the recommendations. He is, however, willing to consider all proposals. Mr. Lapenta invited the public to attend the PCM19417.DOC DLBA meetings adding that many of their dons about the.progress ofthe downtown effort could be answered at these meetings. Germ Hanning,property owner and resident of 207 South Hutchi is Surat said he was the only one of this neigbabors willing to sell the City &ontap fbr a rW-of-way to widen South Hutchins Street Fk stated he wished to be eliminated from the list of downzone properties since his property had already been converted to an art gallery.. Chairman Stafford then read a list of permitted uses in do R-C-P zone. Jean Macaluso, 232 South Lee Avenue stated she purchased her home because of the R-CP zone thinking she might open a business. She wishes to remain zoned R-C-P. Chairman Stafford thea dosed the public portion of the }rearing and returned the discussion to the Commission. In response to a gaestim about the number of businesses in the area, Senior Planner Morimoto stated the study had determined that out of 109 parcels in the area, 16 had a residential use other than single -family (apattmehts, duplexes, etc.). 13 had office-untindiooal uses (offices, a school and two churches.). Commissioner Schmidt indicated his support of the downzone exduding the area south of Walmer Street to Lodi Avenue. Commissioner Lapenta voiced his preferontx to approve the dowazone except the block of Hutchins Street between Walnut Street and Lodi Avenue. He also said he would hie a study done on the Pine Street corridor that was not included in this request. Commissioner McGladdery fel it was wise to exclude from the downzone arca Hutchins Street, Lodi Avenue north to Oak Street to include a couple of business type uses on the northwest and northeast corners of Hutchins and Oak Streets. Chairman Stafford was concerned that eliminating the Hutchins Street properties South of Walnut Street from the downzone request would create a small island of R -C -P. Commissioner Hitchcock felt the Commission should take another look at the area not induded in the request between Lee and Hutchins on both sides of Pine Strut. Following some additional discussion, on a notion by Commissioner Hitchcock, second by Commissioner Marzolf, the Commission unanimously voted to recommend to the City Counchil certification of a negative declaration on the proposed dowtoone project The Commission then, on a motion by Commissioner Hitchcock, second by Commissioner Schmick unanimously approved recommending to the City Council amending the land use element of the General Plan to redesignate Emm "0", Office Institutional to E -R, Eastside Residential the following properties: 200.210 and 220 West Oak Strut; 300 and 400 blocks of West Oak Street; 200, 300 and 400 blocks of West Walnut Street except 420 West Walnut Street; 104 through 233 South Pleasant Avenue; 112 through 237 South Lee Avenue; 9 North Hutchins Street; 503 through 510 West Pine Strut; and 5 through 25 South Hutchins Street.
