PROJECT DESCRIPTION: M the request of the property owners the City of Lodi will be rezoning the four parcels listed above from their present zoning ot R -GA, Residential Garden Apartments to PD, Planned Development. A change in zoning was requested to allow for a residential subdivision which will consist of 56 attached single family units or halfplexes, one triplex, and one fourplex. This totals up to 63 dwelling units nn 58 Lots. The reason that the number of dwelling units is larger than the number alas is that each half of a halfplex is on its own property while each unit of a triplex of fourplex is on the same piece of property (56 halfplex units + one triplex + one fourplex 63 units). The following defines a halfplex: A halfplex is similar to a duplex in that each of the two units are structurally attached. The difference between the two is that each unit of a halfplex is divided at the attachment by a property line which allows for separate ownership. The project site will have a total of 59 lots, one of which will remain undeveloped. 4_ General Plan Designation (A) MDR Medium Density Residential 5. Site Description and surrounding land use: cz aject consists of 7.5 acres of properties located at the north-west corner of Lodi, bordered by Woodhaven Lane to the west and Lilac Street to the east. Woodhaven Lane intersects with Lower Sacramento Road, a north -south arterial, and Turner Road, an east -west arterial, approximately one quarter mile south of the project site. Each parcel is flat with no extraordinary topographic features. Each parcel is vacant with no dwellings or other structures. Surrounding land uses consist of the Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal and single family residences to the north and west, an apartment complex to the south, and apartments, two single family residences, and Woodbridge School to the east. 6. Zoning (A) Existing (City). (B) Proposed (A) R -GA. Residential Garden Apartments (B) PD. Planned Development Will the Project Have a Significant Effect Through Any of the Following Imoacts? 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 c. Cause a significant affect related to flood. erosion or siltation? NO f. Substantial interference with thc habitat of any species offish, 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 costing cropland? NO j. Expose individuals or property to geologic. public health, traffic, flood, seismic or other hazards? NO k. Have a substantial. demonstrabic, negative aesthetic effect? NO I. Result in thc 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 thc 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? NO 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? NO s. Result in an alteration or conflict with existing or planned land uses? NO t. Conflict with adopted plans, goals or politics 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 subdivision improvements and homes 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. Traffic and auto emissions may also cause a minor impact to the air quality. 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 63 new housing units will not have a significant effect on police and fire protection; however, additional housing units will increase the number of school age children the impacted Lodi Unified School District must provide for. 7q. Substantially change transportation patterns related to existing traffic load, street capacity, parking availability or traffic safcty? A change in land use from vacant farm land to residential will increase the traffic impact in and around the project site. The traffic impact from the change in land use will be significant but can be mitigated using proper traffic design. Mitigation Measures to Reduce Adverse Impacts Identified by Initial Study: AIR QUALITY: Construction of the project site as a 63 unit single family residential subdivision may cause a small decrease in ambient air quality standards by increasing dust during construction and vehicle emissions from future resident's automobiles. Construction activities will create dust and diesel exhaust that may create a temporary substantial impact on 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 transposed of -site shall 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 will also be affected by an increase in vehicle emissions that will result from an increased numbers of vehicle trips in and around the project area; however the impact will most likely be minor. By implementing the mitigation measures listed above the temporary impacts from construction on air quality will be reduced to less than significant levels. PUBLIC SERVICES: At this time the construction of 63 new housing units will not have a significant effect on police and fire protection; howevet, residential projects 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 30 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 applicant 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. Police and Fire departments will also benefit from development impact mitigation fees that will 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 recently congested by new development. The project site is designated in the City's General Plan as MDR. Medium Density 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 halfplex subdivision produces 0.9 peak hour and 8.0 daily trip ends per dwelling unit (a trip end = 1 way). In other words, the proposed subdivision will create approximately 57 one way trips during the busiest traffic periods of a day, and an overall number of 504 one way trips throughout the entire 24 hours of a day. Thetraffic impacts that will result from dr .:lopment 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 arca to a less than significant level.
