low density dwelling units located on 5.68 acres at the southwest corner of the
intersection of lower acrannt�rito Road and Taylor Road (flee "Resi.dential Project").
The foregoing approvals consist. of (1) the September 12, 2_002 approval by the
Lodi' Planning C:ou-i iss.ion of a negative declaration evaluating the impacts of file
Project (the "Negative Declaration"), aia appeal of which was denied by the Lodi City
Council c:il on Nove:niber 6, 2002, (2) the September 12, 2002 approval by the Lodi
Plannka Commission of rosidential Development Plan for the Traject (the
''13evei.opmeat Plan"), which approval was affirmed by the Lodi. City Council on
November 6, 2002; and 0h) the €}v rnber 6, 2002 adoption try the Lodi City Council of
a Gro th Management Allocation for the Project (the °'CILIA. Allocation"),
Since the Cir'Y's approval of the Negative; Declaration, the Developinent Plan and
the MA Allocation (collectively, the " pprovats"), G-RFM has decided to reg, -on i ure
the V irttner's Square Shopping Center project. TIds reconfiguration reduces the size of
the shopping center, which correspondingly will increase the amour t of land available
fora residential project. `therefore, we are asking the City Council to rescind its
approval of the Residential Project as c;. n-ently configured. We cite d, at some point in
the future., to re -apply for the necessary entitlements to develop the residential portion of
the property,
