COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, Expanding the Scope of Work to Include Downtown Specific Plan Implementation Support Services and Extending the Term of the Agreement Through June 30, 2027 (CD)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Cynthia Marsh, Interim Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group, expanding the Scope of Work to Include Downtown Specific Plan Implementation Support Services and extending the term of the Agreement through June 30, 2027
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On August 22, 2024, the City of Lodi entered into an Agreement for Professional Services with RRM Design Group for the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP). The agreement includes preparation and implementation related to the DTSP, a key City Council Strategic Goal intended to guide Downtown revitalization, economic development, historic preservation, placemaking, and infrastructure investment.
The DTSP was approved by the Planning Commission on May 13, 2026, and is scheduled for City Council on June 3, 2026. Through efficient project management and completion of major planning deliverables slightly under the original project budget, approximately $137,000 in remaining contract funds are available within the existing agreement.
RRM Design Group has requested a one-year extension of the agreement term to allow the City to continue applying the remaining contract funds toward implementation-related work directly tied to the DTSP. These funds are part of the City’spreviously approved General Fund investment in the Downtown Specific Plan and would remain dedicated to advancing work already underway under the existing agreement. Extending the agreement allows the City to carry that investment forward into early implementation and retain consultant continuity on specialized Downtown planning efforts without increasing the approved not-to-exceed contract amount.
The value of the remaining work is significant, as it advances priority implementation items identified through the DTSP process and maintains momentum on related efforts already in progress. Based on the consultant’s estimated remaining budget allocations, the City would receive approximately $22,000 in continued historic preservation and adaptive reuse support, including completion of the Historic Preservation Ordinance; approximately $38,000 in quiet zone feasibility and rail coordination efforts; and approximately $75,000 in final City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 2

plan implementation support and related Downtown planning services.
The revised scope of work includes high-level implementation efforts directly tied to DTSP adoption, including:
· Additional historic preservation services, including completion of the Historic Preservation Ordinance; · Development of a framework outlining steps and estimated costs associated with establishing a railroad quiet zone;
· Additional Main Street design work, particularly related to the railroad and public right-of-way interface; · Research and recommendations regarding potential acquisition of Union Pacific Railroad parcels, including title reports and historic parcel research;
· Refinement of Downtown Mixed-Use Design Guidelines (LMC Section 17.22.050) and related zoning recommendations;
· Conceptual streetscape planning for a segment of the Main Street corridor; · Coordination with transportation consultants and preparation of draft base data to support grant readiness efforts;
· Ongoing project management; and
· Potential Downtown Specific Plan edits and adoption follow-up items.
The requested amendment would extend the agreement term through June 30, 2027, utilizing the existing extension authority contained within the agreement and would not increase the approved not-to-exceed contracted amount.
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to allow the City to continue leveraging the City’s existing Downtown Specific Plan investment and preserve momentum on implementation priorities identified through the planning process. Approval would allow the City to complete several key implementation items already underway, maintain consultant continuity, and position Downtown projects for future grant opportunities and coordinated follow-through following adoption of the DTSP.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No increase to the approved contract amount is proposed. The amendment would utilize existing unexpended project funds within the current agreement budget.

Scope of Services
8/5/24

SCOPE OF SERVICES
In preparation of this scope of work, we carefully reviewed the RFP, toured the project area, and crafted it in response to our discussions with City staff and City Council wishes.
Our scope of work is organized sequentially in the order in which we intend to run the project, however as we gather community input and work through the project some items may shift on the timeline. It is our intention to complete the project within 18-24 months.
TASK A: DISCOVERY
The discovery phase of the project is to acquaint the RRM team with the Downtown Lodi area and engage in a due
diligence process designed to inform the team on primary issues to be addressed, gather and review relevant data and background information, and meet with staff, stakeholders, and the community to better understand the project.
SUBTASK A.1: PROJECT KICKOFF
The project team will meet virtually with City staff to establish a mutual understanding of the key issues, goals for the project and staff expectations, staff roles and responsibilities, and confirm the proposed outreach strategy.
The team will also lay out significant project milestones, deliverable targets, and provide a list of existing planning documents and mapping data to be provided by the City.
DELIVERABLES:
• Prepare for and attend one (1) virtual kickoff meeting SUBTASK A.2: DUE DILIGENCE
RRM will gather and review data that is relevant to this project. The primary purpose of this effort is to get up to speed on past and current planning efforts and harness the wealth of existing data that can be used in the Downtown Specific Plan process. Each teammate will delve into their respective areas of expertise and the information will
be translated into an opportunity and constraints map
described below. Mobility and rail analysis has been captured in Task B below.
Land Use and Physical Environment
RRM’s team will collect and review relevant data, including the General Plan, Zoning Code, City Council Strategic
Vision, Housing Element Update, Downtown Design
Guidelines, Transit-Oriented Development Design
Guidelines, Eastside Mobility and Access Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, recent development projects, and other planning
efforts that have a bearing on the Specific Plan effort.
Relevant information will be integrated into a brief summary memorandum of findings.
Historic Resources
GPA will conduct a preliminary review of existing
information sources to get a general sense of the type and number of known and potential historic resources that
may exist in the study area. Specifically, GPA would advise RRM if any of the buildings identified as “infill opportunity sites” are potential historical resources, as this may inform the proposed redevelopment strategy. Information sources anticipated to be reviewed as part of this effort include:
City planning documents that reference historical resources (General Plan Conservation Element, Downtown TOD
Design Guidelines, etc.), information from the San Joaquin County Historical Society, GIS mapping of parcels by built date, and records managed by the State Office of Historic Preservation (SOHP), including the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), and the Built
Environment Resources Directory (BERD).
Infrastructure
RRM’s engineering staff will research the existing public utilities (water, sewer, storm drain) within the plan area, based on a review of existing public record documents and discussions with the City staff. RRM will include a summary of existing conditions for private utilities (telephone, electric, gas, cable) based on information made available by service providers in the plan area. If available, RRM will also utilize the City’s pavement management program and existing
pavement condition index data to determine the pavement condition in the plan area. The analysis will incorporate the condition and capacities (if available) of existing utilities that the City managed and identified within:
• City Bicycle Master Plan (2012)
• City Water Master Plan (2012)
• City Wastewater Master Plan (2012)
• City Storm Drainage Master Plan (2012)
SECTION 2 | Scope of Services
8/5/24
30 City of Lodi | PROPOSAL FOR DOW NTOWN SPE CIFIC PLA N 19 Findings and infrastructure gaps will be summarized in a memorandum that will provide an overview of the key
infrastructure systems in the area and note which systems might require updates to support development.
DELIVERABLES:
• Collection and review of relevant land use data, summary memo, and one round of revisions.
• GPA will prepare a brief memo summarizing the key
findings of the preliminary review and participate in one (1) conference call with the City to discuss the findings. The cost estimate assumes the CHRIS record search fee will not exceed $750.
• Collection and review of relevant infrastructure data, summary memo, and one round of revisions. This task will only utilize existing public documents and files and does not include field work, inspections, or calculations .
SUBTASK A.3: DISCOVERY PHASE COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
One of the goals of the project is to ensure that the RRM team has a strong understanding of the Lodi community’s multiple interests and needs. We will include an inclusive community outreach campaign to ensure effective and
efficient community involvement within the project
development and decision-making process. We believe an
effective community outreach program creates confidence in the planning process and promotes broad-based
understanding and consensus. RRM’s Project Manager’s first language is Spanish, and she will be a facilitator at project events where consultants are present. Our goal is to
design the outreach process so as to engage the public and community leaders in an interactive way and educate them on the value and purpose of this project.
We also believe every project and every community
deserves a customized approach to maximize success and
it should be handled as a fluid response to community
input and level of interest. While we have mapped out a community engagement strategy that we feel will deliver consensus, we will carefully monitor what is working well and what may not be as effective within your community
and then collaborate with staff to best tailor our approach as needed throughout the process. The following initial outreach tasks will be provided to create a common vision and gain initial feedback, and subsequent community events are described in future phases to confirm the direction and content.
Project Branding and Awareness
Over the past decade, communication through online and
social media has transformed how information is both
disseminated and received by the public. These electronic media tools are powerful and cost-effective and increasingly becoming the expected norm for how project information
is communicated. For the Downtown Specific Plan online
engagement, a variety of tools will supplement the core outreach methods used in the workshops and events.
Components of online engagement are proposed to include:
Project Branding and Logo
To set the foundation for the community engagement
effort and project-related materials (print and digital), RRM will design a logo to brand and uniquely identify the Lodi Downtown Specific Plan project. The logo will be used
on all project collateral such as fliers, document layout, posters, project website, etc. RRM will provide one round of revisions to the logo and color scheme.
Project Business Cards
RRM will create a uniquely designed “project business card” using the project logo described above. These cards will be available for City distribution at community events, farmers markets, or other venues and will include a QR code to lead interested parties to the project website. It is anticipated that 500 cards will be printed at the beginning of the project.
Project Website
RRM will work with City staff to set up a project website page using the existing standalone project website (PlanLodi. com) where community members can learn about the
project and stay up-to-date on project-related events and work products. It will provide access to relevant documents, reports, community meeting information, and maps related to the project. The website may be supplemented with
additional interactive online engagement tools. The City shall transfer all existing information to the City website and will pay the annual licensing fee with funds outside of this scope of work and project budget. RRM will regularly maintain and Scope of Services | SECTION 2

update the website and assumes two (2) hours per month
for a period of two (2) years, however if additional time is required it will be at an additional cost.
Storefront Materials
The City has secured an exhibit space on Main Street that will provide an opportunity to display project materials and updates throughout the project. RRM will provide materials prepared and printed as part of other tasks, such as board developed for workshops or open houses, for City use.
The City will be responsible for upkeep, monitoring, and liability of the space. Additional or replacement materials can be provided at an additional cost. To kick the project off, RRM will create a set of four (4) boards including a timeline, introduction to a specific plan, a project aerial with boundary, and a copy of the initiatives identified within the City Council Strategic Goal to realize a lively mixed-use, walkable, commercial downtown district by:
• Expanding opportunities for downtown living
• Preserving the Downtown historic character
• Ensuring accessibility for multi-modal transportation and public safety
• Protecting and promoting the use of public facilities including the library, public safety building, and the City administration building
• Expanding the perimeter of Downtown Mixed-use
Zoning
• Adopting policies that incentivize the revitalization of buildings and infrastructure
And articulating the future vision for Downtown by:
• Responding to area-wide assets, issues, and
opportunities
• Building on recently developed existing City policies included in the Housing Element Update, Downtown
Design Guidelines, Transit-Oriented Development
Design Guidelines, Eastside Mobility and Access Plan,
Bicycle Master Plan, recent development projects, and
other planning efforts
• Identifying urban design enhancements and opportunities for creative use of public spaces
Press Releases, Social Media Support, and Email
Blasts
A strategy will be developed for sharing project information and graphics through social media outlets such as Facebook and Instagram. Materials will be provided at key points in the process in both Spanish and English. This task will also include providing project information for the City to use for promotional and informational outreach on the City website and/or other social media sites, such as e-blasts announcing upcoming events and the release of project related
documents. Deliverables associated with this task include up to six (6) press releases over the duration of the project (to be issued by the City) used for local media, steering committee distribution, and posted on the project website and other appropriate outlets. In concert with social media efforts, RRM will provide project information for the City to use for up to four (4) email blasts, in both Spanish and English, to keep the community engaged and informed at key point in the process. The City will send email blasts through established channels.
Steering Committee Kick-off and Walking Tour
A Downtown Lodi Steering Committee will be established
to facilitate an education and feedback loop with key
stakeholders throughout the process. The committee
members will likely include a representative from the
Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Business Alliance
(DBA), Visit Lodi, Lodi Economic Development Department, and of course Lodi Community Development Department.
While this is not a recommending body, the committee will help identify issues and opportunities, give our team valuable feedback that will help shape the Specific Plan document, and assist with the messaging and getting the word out about the project. Meeting details are described below and as part of other tasks.
The first Steering Committee meeting will be in-person
and will include a site tour of the Downtown Specific Plan area to gain additional insight related to existing conditions, community character, recent development projects, and
identify issues and big ideas. The objectives of this tour are to evaluate existing conditions including those relating to all modes of transportation, locate potential key community gathering places, identify constraints and opportunities, SECTION 2 | Scope of Services

Stakeholder Interviews
RRM will conduct a series of stakeholder interviews to
solicit input from community members and organizations.
The purpose of these meetings is to listen to the wants, needs, issues, and observations about the Downtown in a more private setting. The interviews are used to identify key issues to be solved and allow the consultant team to understand the desires regarding physical improvements and quality of life strategies. RRM will collaborate with City staff to identify stakeholders, which could include representatives of local organizations, residents, decision makers, business owners, and property owners within the Downtown and
surrounding area. RRM will conduct up to eight (8) half- hour to one-hour confidential meetings (held via video/ teleconference), involving up to four (4) participants each, and scheduled over one (1) or two (2) days. We ask that City staff notify and manage the meeting invitations of the stakeholders. RRM will conduct a virtual meeting with
staff following the interviews to discuss key and relevant takeaways.
Developer Interviews
As part of the initial outreach effort, LEG partners will interview four (4) to six (6) developers that have been active in the greater Lodi real estate market. Our expectation is that City staff will provide six (6) to eight (8) developers as interview targets. Following these interviews, one (1) memorandum will be provided which will summarize the
developer interviews.
DELIVERABLES:
• Prepare for and attend a site tour with City staff and a Steering Committee meeting. We ask that staff coordinate meeting logistics, plan the tour route, and coordinate
invitations to all participants.
• Stakeholder Interviews - up to eight (8) half-hour to one- hour confidential meetings (held via video/teleconference), involving up to four (4) participants each, and scheduled over one or two days. We ask that City staff notify and manage the meeting invitations of the stakeholders. RRM will meet virtually with staff following the interviews to discuss key and relevant takeaways.
• Developer Interviews - four (4) to six (6) developers. We ask that City staff notify and manage the meeting invitations of the stakeholders. Following these interviews, one (1) memorandum will be provided which summarizes the
developer interviews.
SUBTASK A.4: DISCOVERY FINDINGS
Base Map
RRM will work with City staff to collect and review relevant digital and GIS data to prepare a project base map. This scope of work assumes aerial photography and GIS data,
such as parcels, zoning, right-of-way, land use, and ownership are available from the City of Lodi. The base mapping will provide the foundation for an existing conditions analysis, community outreach exhibits, and planning exhibits for the Specific Plan. A digital copy of the base map will be provided to the City for review and reference.
Opportunity and Constraints Exhibit(s)
Utilizing the information gathered during this phase RRM will create an opportunity and constraints exhibit. Information provided may include land use, mobility and streetscape opportunities, pending and approved development projects, planned public and private improvement projects (as
identified by the City), potential historic resources, and development constraints.
SUBTASK A.5: DISCOVERY PHASE PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
Throughout the project, RRM will need to coordinate
with City staff, various departments, subconsultants,
and interest groups. This task is intended to allow for Scope of Services | SECTION 2
8/5/24
33 22
necessary coordination between the project team members and City staff, including occasional teleconferences
and correspondence, record-keeping, electronic file
management, and additional necessary coordination. This assumes an average of twelve (12) hours per month for up to four (4) months.
DELIVERABLES:
• Ongoing project coordination and management.
TASK B: FOUNDATION
The Foundation task is intended to build upon the Discovery tasks and will involve a series of reports and analyses which will support and inform the Specific Plan. The team will begin to explore the question, ‘What makes the City of Lodi unique?’ and the information gathered will help to ensure that the Downtown Specific Plan will reinforce the City’s qualities.
SUBTASK B.1: MARKET ANALYSIS AND FINANCIAL
FEASIBILITY FOR PRIORITY SITES
The private real estate development sector will have an important role to play in moving Downtown Lodi forward.
LEG will prepare a real estate market analysis for the
Downtown that serves to inform the Specific Plan, provide essential input for the financial feasibility analyses and serve as a marketing piece to attract developer interest.
The analysis will look back at historical trends for context, forecast the market outlook over the next 10 to 20 years and will focus from the city as a whole into the downtown.
This market analysis will examine the following land uses:
rental apartments, condominiums, office buildings, hotels, and retail/restaurants. The variables to be examined will include rents, rent per square foot, unit mix, unit sizes, vacancy trends, absorption history, amenities, and current and emerging competition. For hotels, the analysis will include room rates, room revenue history from transient occupancy tax collection, occupancy rates, class of hotel development and current and emerging competition.
As part of this market study, we will provide three case studies of turning point development project or public
investments that transformed towns like Healdsburg, Paso Robles and/or Los Olivos into wine country destinations.
This market analysis will provide the foundation for a high- level approach for business/services recruitment, industry trends specific to the downtown, and suggestions to attract types of development that create places for people to live, work and visit.
Informed by the market analysis and our evaluation of site opportunities based upon location, parcel size, ownership, surrounding uses, proximity to under-utilized public parking and design considerations, RRM and LEG will jointly select up to six (6) primary priority sites for financial feasibility examination. After RRM has prepared the conceptual
designs and development programs for these six priority sites, LEG will use its financial feasibility model to test project feasibility, to refine the design concept and to estimate development project residual land value.
The residual land values will then be compared to recent land transaction prices to determine project feasibility.
Because of the availability of the public parking garage, the analysis can test the feasibility of development projects needing to provide less private parking. A core part of LEG’s practice is financial and fiscal modeling of land development projects. Rather than a static model, we employ a dynamic model that runs out for 12 years. The advantage of this approach is that the downstream value of the development project, resulting from rent or value increases over time and debt amortization, is brought back into the residual land value calculation. This approach is particularly important in a higher inflation environment. It is a model we have employed for over 25 years and was initially created to assist with redevelopment agency land disposition negotiations. The model is designed to address the impact of density increases, parking requirement reductions, transfer of development rights, upper floor setbacks, and similar issues on project feasibility.
DELIVERABLES:
• One (1) Downtown Lodi Market Analysis and Priority
Sites Feasibility Memorandum Report will be prepared.
This market report will serve to inform the creation of Specific Plan alternatives, to test the feasibility of specific parcels and to encourage developer interest.
SECTION 2 | Scope of Services
8/5/24
34 City of Lodi | PROPOSAL FOR DOW NTOWN SPE CIFIC PLA N 23 SUBTASK B.2: MOBILITY AND PARKING ANALYSIS
Parking/Transportation Linkages Study
W-Trans will analyze parking conditions and mobility options within, and connecting to, the Downtown through a review of existing parking and transportation information provided by the City.
The review will include a detailed assessment of available resources such as parking supply and utilization data, a historic review of previously implemented or attempted
measures, impacts stemming from the pending relocation of downtown passenger rail service, and other related topics.
Recommendations will be developed to inform the Specific Plan, including both operational strategies as well as policy or Code changes such as:
• Maximizing available parking resources such as utilizing the downtown garage to accommodate parking demand
from future development (instead of rail passengers) or developing shared parking agreements to better utilize
private parking lots.
• Parking regulation strategies including modifying the hours of operation or time limits to prioritize patron use of front-door parking spaces and incentivizing visitors to stay, shop, and dine in the downtown.
• Residential and/or employee parking permit programs
to alleviate employee use of prime on-street spaces and prevent spillover into residential neighborhoods.
• Updated enforcement practices and technology to
encourage compliance with parking regulations and
minimize punitive measures.
• Zoning code recommendations designed to encourage
the development and transition of businesses while also accommodating future parking demand in the space-
constrained downtown.
• Connectivity strategies to continue linking the
downtown community to other significant nearby
destinations and the future rail station site.
• Transportation Demand Management recommendations
such as incentives or requirements for particular
strategies (e.g., enhanced bicycle parking, parking cash- out, etc.)
As part of this task, W-Trans will also collect traffic and infrastructure data. W-Trans will work with City staff
to identify pertinent data already collected by the City, as well as existing planning documents and projects and improvements already identified in the Specific Plan
area. W-Trans will have a qualified data collection firm collect AM and PM Peak Hour turning movement counts
(including pedestrian and bicycle volumes) at 10 study area intersections to be identified in collaboration with City staff.
Identify Multimodal Needs
W-Trans will identify existing and planned transit routes, ridership data, pedestrian facilities and bicycle routes, and use available models to project future peak hour traffic volumes and requirements along key corridors and at key intersections selected in consultation with City staff.
W-Trans will collaborate with DKS Associates to prepare all necessary travel demand model files (using the County travel forecast model) and run respective models for the development alternatives listed below. DKS will prepare post-processing spreadsheets to calculate forecasted turning movement volumes for up to ten (10) study intersections and daily 24-hour volumes for up to ten (10) roadway
segments.
W-Trans will prepare exhibits that illustrate existing and planned facilities and peak hour traffic volumes, and will document the assumptions, methodologies, and findings of their analysis in a technical memorandum. The data collected will be used to inform the Downtown Lodi Specific Plan.
The existing conditions chapter will include relevant figures, photos, and graphics to illustrate the existing conditions of the area. W-Trans will prepare exhibits that illustrate existing and planned facilities and peak hour traffic volumes, and will document the assumptions, methodologies, and
findings of their analysis in a technical memorandum. The data collected will be compiled into the Downtown Lodi
Specific Plan.
Mobility Impacts and Opportunities
W-Trans will work with DKS Associates to prepare all
necessary model input files and run the model for the
following scenarios. Note – the alternatives will evaluate the Scope of Services | SECTION 2

• Baseline
• Cumulative (General Plan Update Buildout Year)
• Cumulative Plus Project
◦ Cumulative Plus Project Alternative A
◦ Cumulative Plus Project Alternative B
◦ Cumulative Plus Project Alternative C
Using the model forecast data, W-Trans will evaluate the effects of proposed roadway alterations (including pedestrian and bicycle facilities) on mobility. This will include both impacts to the roadways and pedestrian/bicycle access
being modified (such as by reduced lanes or speed) and the intersections directly adjacent to those roadways, and to roadways in the vicinity of altered roadways (such as parallel facilities that are not directly adjacent to the modified roadways. Any proposed lane configuration will evaluate both the existing and future traffic conditions.
This analysis will include the ten (10) study intersections within Lodi. In addition to Level of Service effects, W-Trans will document other transportation related effects such as effects on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities and users.
W-Trans will prepare a separate Mobility and Parking report summarizing the identified potential effects.
Based on the screening assessment, the opportunity sites/ areas and corresponding alternatives will be ranked as high, medium, or low development priority.
Parking
W-Trans will prepare a parking analysis and policy strategy to address how parking needs would be satisfied as future development occurs and affects existing parking lots.
DELIVERABLES:
• Mobility and Parking Report to Support Downtown Specific Plan (Administrative Draft, Screen Check Draft and Public Review Draft)
SUBTASK B.3: QUIET ZONE FEASIBILITY AND AS
NEEDED RAIL COORDINATION
RailPros will provide railroad and quiet zone related services to evaluate potential improvements adjacent to or across the existing railroad tracks, as well as the feasibility of a quiet zone along the UPRR corridor that runs through the downtown area. The Prime is requesting RailPros support for coordination and development rail related Specific Plan opportunities.
Railroad Existing Conditions, Opportunity and
Constraints Memo
RailPros will develop a brief Memorandum discussing existing conditions and factors that may influence the Specific Plan opportunities, constraints and recommendations. This
will include identification of key railroad stakeholders and regulatory agencies as well as high level discussion of standards, requirements, and regulations relating to potential or proposed development opportunities.
Review of Prime Documents
RailPros will collaborate with the project team to review key concepts and provide insight and recommended
modifications necessary to increase likelihood of an
implementable solutions related to or impacting the railroad.
RailPros will also assist the prime in identifying high-level, rough order of magnitude costs for potential opportunities along the rail corridor, these may be included in the Memo discussed above or delivered separately to the Prime as directed.
Quiet Zone Feasibility Memo
RailPros will develop a high-level Quiet Zone feasibility memo based on the existing crossings and relevant data
provided by the prime and stakeholders. The intent of this memo is to identify potential Supplemental Safety Measures (SSMs) and Alternative Safety Measures (ASMs) for future quiet zone implementation along with other potential safety enhancements or modifications that may be recommended
at the crossings. The anticipated scope of services includes the following tasks and activities:

SUBTASK B.4: HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND
ADAPTIVE REUSE ANALYSIS
GPA will prepare a Historical Resources Inventory for the Downtown Specific Plan study area, which will consist of a reconnaissance-level survey to identify known and potential historical resources in the study area. Known historical resources are properties previously identified as eligible for historic designation or listed in a historic register. Potential historical resources are properties more than 45 years old that retain physical integrity and have a reasonable potential to be significant under one or more of the California and/or National Register eligibility criteria.
The purpose of the Historical Resources Inventory is to inform the Draft Specific Plan and to identify properties which may require review in the future if they are the
subject of a discretionary action under the Specific Plan. In this manner, the inventory would serve as an aid to City staff in the processing of future entitlements by providing guidance on those properties which are likely to warrant evaluation to determine if they are historical resources as defined by CEQA. The inventory would also assist City
staff in determining properties which may be eligible for any provisions for historic preservation and adaptive reuse which may be included in the Specific Plan.
Research
GPA will build on the preliminary review completed as part of the Discovery process and conduct limited additional research of general historical trends relevant to the
study area sufficient to identify properties that may have an important association with those trends. As this is a reconnaissance-level survey, extensive property-specific research will not be conducted, and a comprehensive
historical context statement will not be prepared.
Additional work to prepare Historic Surveys and Historic Evaluations on key sites may be completed as an optional task, depending on the results of the Historic Resources Inventory and the direction of City staff. This additional work, if requested, would be completed under a separate scope and cost.
Reconnaissance Survey
GPA will drive and/or walk the Specific Plan study area (depending on safety) and will identify properties more than Scope of Services | SECTION 2
8/5/24
37 26
45 years old that have a moderate to high level of integrity and potential for historic significance. The project team will photograph these properties and prepare a spreadsheet
indicating the results of the reconnaissance-level survey. (NOTE: GPA will not prepare DPR 523 series inventory
forms on identified properties as part of this scope of work. This level of effort is not required for the Specific Plan effort. If desired, DPR 523 forms may be prepared for key sites as an optional task.) The cost estimate assumes overnight travel for two staff members to perform the
reconnaissance survey over three consecutive days.
It is assumed that any in-person repository research, such as at the archives of the San Joaquin Historical Society, Lodi Public, City or County records, etc., would be conducted at the same time as the reconnaissance survey.
Historical Resources Inventory and Technical Report
GPA will prepare a summary report of the reconnaissance survey findings. The report will include A) existing setting, B) regulatory framework, C) identification of existing
resources, and D) identification of potential new resources.
A spreadsheet of the survey results will be included as an attachment. GPA will internally peer review the draft report and submit it to RRM for review and comment. GPA will
revise the draft report based on one (1) round of comments from RRM and one (1) round of comments from the City.
To support the environmental review for the Specific Plan (anticipated to be an ND/MND that tiers off the General Plan EIR), GPA will prepare a Historical Resources Technical Report (HRTR), which will analyze potential impacts to
historical resources and identify mitigation measures for future projects that involve known or potential historical resources. The HRTR will include A) existing setting,
B) regulatory framework, C) summary of existing and
potential resources (i.e. Historical Resources Inventory, as an attachment), E) thresholds for “significant impact” and “substantial adverse change” pursuant to CEQA, and F)
mitigation measures for future projects that impact historical resources. GPA will internally peer review the draft HRTR and submit it to RRM for review and comment. GPA will
revise the draft report based on one (1) round of comments from RRM and one (1) round of comments from the City.
DELIVERABLES:
• Draft and Final Historical Resources Inventory and Technical Report (HRTR).
SUBTASK B.5: FOUNDATION PHASE COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Community Workshop
RRM will facilitate a community workshop to present an
overview of the Discovery Phase and walk participants
through the project area opportunities and constraints and project goals. An interactive exercise may be conducted to encourage collaboration between participants and gather input that will be used to develop initial concepts and ideas.
Steering Committee Meeting #2
RRM will prepare for and facilitate a Steering Committee meeting on the morning before or after the workshop. The intension is to gather additional input on items presented as part of the community meeting and to discuss feedback. No new or additional materials will be prepared for this meeting, as it is assumed that the workshop materials will be used for the discussion.
Online Questionnaire
Following the workshop, RRM will develop an online
questionnaire (using SurveyMonkey or similar application) to capture qualitative input on the values, goals, and issues to shape the Downtown Specific Plan. The team will ensure the platform is public-focused with no technical jargon and easy to use. The survey is anticipated to have between
10-20 multiple choice, ranking, or word cloud questions.
Hard copies of the survey can be made available at outreach events and City offices to allow for the community to
complete by hand if desired, however we ask that the City consolidate data received. Spanish and English versions of the survey and responses will be provided.
Community Pop-up Event Materials
Pop-up information tables at events can be an effective way to connect with the community where they work, shop,
and recreate. At the pop-up event, display boards and other informational material to gather residents’ feedback can be provided. RRM will prepare a set of materials for City use at pop-up events such as Farmers Market. A series of up to four (4) project boards will be created to evoke project SECTION 2 | Scope of Services
8/5/24
38 City of Lodi | PROPOSAL FOR DOW NTOWN SPE CIFIC PLA N 27 interest and provide information and ideas. This task focuses on bringing the Specific Plan concepts into the community to capture larger and different segments of Lodi’s population, and to augment other engagement events such as planned
formal public workshops. RRM does not anticipate attending these events, but will set up City staff, Steering Committee members, or various interest groups up for success. We ask that staff consolidate information and feedback received at the events and provide a single summary capturing relevant feedback.
DELIVERABLES:
• Community Workshop - Prepare for, organize, and facilitate community workshop. We ask that City staff be responsible for the notification, refreshments, and logistics.
• RRM will facilitate one (1) steering committee meeting to present an overview of the Specific Plan. We ask that City staff be responsible for the notification, refreshments, and logistics.
• Online Questionnaire – 10-20 multiple choice, ranking, or word cloud questions.
• Up to four (4) project boards for City use. Information provided on the boards will be generated as part of other tasks.
SUBTASK B.6: FOUNDATION PHASE PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
Throughout the project, RRM will need to coordinate
with City staff, various departments, subconsultants,
and interest groups. This task is intended to allow for necessary coordination between the project team members and City staff, including occasional teleconferences
and correspondence, record-keeping, electronic file
management, and additional necessary coordination. This assumes an average of ten (10) hours for four (4) months.
TASK C: LODI DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC
PLAN PREPARATION
In this phase, RRM will develop the Downtown Lodi Specific Plan. The Plan will catalyze revitalization throughout the Downtown area resulting in a vibrant mixed- use, walkable commercial district where residents and visitors can live, work and play. The Specific Plan will set the tone for the community for years to come, not only in terms of creating a sense of place, but also generating a vital Downtown that contributes to the long-term wellbeing of the community.
Exciting opportunities exist to improve and enhance
the heart of Lodi’s community, and the Specific Plan will promote investment and jobs, and provide affordable and innovative mixed-use housing and live/work solutions. This will be balanced with the community desire to preserve
Lodi’s quaint and historic character and capitalize on the success of this food and wine destination.
SUBTASK C.1: SPECIFIC PLAN PREPARATION PHASE
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Council and Planning Commission Joint Study
Session
RRM will prepare for and facilitate a joint study session with Lodi’s City Council and Planning Commission to
discuss the Specific Plan process, key concepts, and results of the community engagement process to date. This is an important opportunity to engage the decision makers prior to developing the draft Specific Plan document. No action will be requested at this meeting; however, input will inform the Specific Plan effort. This meeting is intended to be presented virtually and can be conducted before or after the multi-day charrette described below.
Multi-Day Charrette
Members of the project team, along with key City staff and the Steering Committee, will work together and engage the community in a compressed setting to collaborate, educate, seek input, and explore design opportunities together. We find that charrette-based planning processes have several major benefits:
• Efficiency and Collaboration: Simply assembling the
design team, City officials, and others in a highly
focused effort produces a high level of concentration,
collaboration, and productivity.
• Understanding and Appreciation: The charrette lays the groundwork for a common understanding of both the
challenges at hand and their potential solutions. Specific objectives may include:
◦ Project introduction and overview of existing
conditions and opportunities
◦ Presentation to explore ideas and vision for the
Downtown
Scope of Services | SECTION 2
8/5/24
39 28
◦ Solicitation of input on key concepts related to land use, urban form, public realm, and mobility and
streetscape improvements Information on future
events
• Creativity and Design: The team will charrette design solutions, land use alternatives, densities, street
sections, street alignments, streetscape beautification, etc. These concepts will be refined by the design team
staff in an open-studio format, allowing members of the community to drop-in during these design exercises to
provide review and comment on emerging ideas.
• Transparent and Consensus Building Engagement: We
believe that the foundation of any successful plan is
based on an authentic, innovative, and collaborative
outreach process that delivers a plan that is supported by the community and decision makers. Plan-making is
a collaborative process that involves residents, business owners, property owners, decision-makers, City staff,
and other interested parties.
Charrette Schedule
RRM will organize, prepare for, and facilitate a series of community engagement opportunities over a two-day
period. The charrette will provide opportunities to present and gain feedback on key concepts and will result in the preferred plans and recommendations to be included in
the Specific Plan. It will be organized to ensure maximum participation from all parties by providing multiple
opportunities and times to engage. It will be a fun and interactive process that will result in a Downtown Specific Plan that has community buy-in. RRM’s Project Manager or other key staff member will be available to facilitate sessions and answer questions in Spanish. The following activities are anticipated to be included in the multi-day charrette.
Project Branding and Awareness
Utilizing the methods described and scoped within the
Discovery phase of the project, RRM will work with staff to get the word out and maximize participation.
Focus Groups Meetings
Throughout the charrette members of the consultant team will conduct up to eight (8) 30 to 45-minute focus group meetings with up to ten (10) participants at each meeting.
One of the focus group meetings could be focused on the Spanish speaking population with the meeting facilitated in Spanish. The intent is to gain a candid understanding of conditions and issues from a variety of perspectives. We will collaborate with City staff to identify focus groups which could include representatives from City Commissions and Council, committees such as the Lodi Improvement
Committee, Lodi Arts Commission, and the Greater
Lodi Area Youth Commission, local school districts, and downtown businesses, etc. We ask that City staff notify and manage the meeting invitations of the stakeholders. If the City would like to conduct a Steering Committee meeting as part of the Charrette, RRM will reduce the number of focus group meetings to six (6) and facilitate a one (1) hour informal discussion with the Steering Committee as part of this task.
Main Street Corridor Breakout Session
A revitalized Main Street corridor is envisioned to consist of new development and uses that infuse mixed-use and infill development and integration of elements from the recently completed School Street streetscape improvements.
The RRM team will host a one-hour breakout session to
provide an opportunity for the community to share their thoughts, ask questions, and provide feedback on the
concept alternatives. Concepts will consider development, placemaking, and design opportunities and constraints,
as well as, consideration of infill potential, a north-south multimodal path, connections across the railroad tracks, feasibility of a pedestrian railroad overpass, and approach for property owned by the railroad.
Open House
During the two-day charrette, the RRM team will set up a variety of information stations that address specific topics (e.g., land use, placemaking and streetscape improvements, mobility, etc.) within the storefront pop-up area. Participants will be encouraged to review materials and provide feedback using post-it notes, written comments, tape dots, or other interactive tools when the room is available during the charrette. It is not anticipated that this will be a facilitated event, but an opportunity for participants to visit at their own leisure between events to gain insight and share
their thoughts. The City will be responsible for upkeep, monitoring, and liability of the space.
SECTION 2 | Scope of Services
8/5/24
40 City of Lodi | PROPOSAL FOR DOW NTOWN SPE CIFIC PLA N 29 Key Concepts
As part of the charrette, RRM’s planners, urban designers, architects, landscape architects, and engineers will
collaborate with the City and project teammates to generate concepts that consider development, placemaking, and
design opportunities and constraints. The key concepts will be the basis for the Downtown Specific Plan and will likely include:
• Recommended land use/zoning changes tailored to the
Downtown
• Urban design framework and draft development
standards such as building placement, form, and height
• Placemaking concepts
• Mobility and streetscape concepts and beautification
strategies
A PowerPoint presentation will be developed to be
presented at the workshop and will include materials
created during the charrette including up to three (3)
illustrative exhibits. Exhibits may include conceptual site plan enlargements and/or before and after color visual
simulations for selected priority sites intended to illustrate the potential transformation of key sites or public spaces in the Downtown.
Workshop
The charrette will conclude with an in-person workshop
to bring the public’s participation full-circle. The project team will have an opportunity to present the Specific Plan analysis and key concepts back to the community. Concepts presented may include land use and circulation strategies, gathering space and plaza elements, and initial urban design concepts. Our team will use technology to solicit instant feedback, so participants can measure how their fellow
citizens feel about certain issues.
Online Questionnaire
Following the multi-day charrette, RRM will develop
an online questionnaire (using SurveyMonkey or similar
application) to capture qualitative input on the key concepts developed in the task above. The survey is anticipated to have between 10-20 multiple choice, ranking, or word cloud questions. Hard copies of the survey can be made available at outreach events and City offices to allow for the community to complete by hand if desired; however, we ask that the City consolidate data received. Spanish and English versions of the survey and responses will be provided.
DELIVERABLES:
• Meeting materials and facilitation of one (1) online virtual study session.
• RRM will prepare for and facilitate a two-day charrette as described above. We ask that City staff be responsible for the notification, refreshments, and all logistics regarding physical spaces and preparation. RRM will prepare
presentation materials and a summary memo of participant input, ideas, and comments. RRM anticipates up to three (3) conference calls with City staff for coordination preparation and/or to discuss next steps and follow-up.
• Online Questionnaire – 10-20 multiple choice, ranking, or word cloud questions.
SUBTASK C.2: ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT SPECIFIC PLAN
RRM will build upon the work product developed and
feedback provided to date and will produce a graphically rich, easy-to-use Downtown Specific Plan document, and
carry out the community’s vision. We ask that the City
provide one (1) consolidated, marked up redline version with all City comments for each draft of the Specific Plan.
RRM intends to structure the Specific Plan as outlined
below; however, we are open to refinements based on City feedback and community suggestions.
• Chapter 1 - Introduction, Background, and Vision: The introductory chapter will discuss the purpose, intent,
and organization of the document. It will describe the
goals of the Specific Plan and boundaries, a description of the process, the community outreach process
associated with the project, and the Specific Plan
relationship pertinent City documents and policies.
• Chapter 2 - Land Use: This chapter will document in a clear, graphically rich, and easy to use/administer manner allowable land uses, potential districts, building form and site development standards, such as height, setback, and parking, and future development concepts developed as
part of Subtask B.4: Key Concepts. Prior to developing
the chapter, RRM will review the existing Downtown
Design Guidelines and TOD Design Guidelines and
may integrate or carry forward relevant policies and
direction. The chapter will also integrate Objective
Scope of Services | SECTION 2
8/5/24

Development Standards for multifamily development.
• Chapter 3 - Mobility, Parking, and Streetscape
Beautification: In this chapter, RRM will coordinate
with W-Trans to address all forms of mobility including pedestrian, transit, bike, vehicular circulation, and
parking. It will contain recommendations for the street environment, street cross-sections and key intersection improvements, parking strategies, and transit and
bicycle route concepts. Urban design and streetscape
beautification concepts will also be included in this
chapter to promote walkability in the Downtown.
• Chapter 4 - Infrastructure and Public Facilities: This chapter will address needed infrastructure and public
facilities. Subjects addressed will include water supply, sewer and wastewater, storm drainage, police and fire
protection, schools, and parks. These recommendations
and policies will align with the City’s latest Capital
Improvement Plan and other City-approved planning
documents and information.
• Chapter 5 – Implementation : This chapter will identify potential implementation strategies and priority
projects to achieve the short- and long-term goals of
the Specific Plan and blend the unique opportunities
in Downtown Lodi with implementation programs
that have been successful in other comparable
cities. Based on the economic analyses results, the
implementation framework will recommend strategic
public improvements and identify key catalyst projects
and programs needed to make the Downtown Specific
Plan’s vision a reality and lay the groundwork for grants to fund public improvements or amenities to induce
private development, historic preservation programs,
and transportation grant-related programs. RRM and
Land Econ Group will work together to develop a “tool
kit” of potential implementation strategies, density
incentives, and funding/financing mechanisms available
to achieve the short and long-term goals of the Specific Plan.
• Chapter 6 – Administration: This chapter will address the authority of the Specific Plan, non-conforming
uses and structures, processing requirements, and the
administrative procedures required for amendments to
the Downtown Specific Plan.
This will be developed in a collaborative effort with
City staff, and it is anticipated that some sections may be drafted by those who are most familiar with existing City practices.
Steering Committee Meeting #3 – Virtual
During the development of the Administrative Draft
Specific Plan, RRM will prepare for and facilitate a Steering Committee meeting to provide an overview of the Plan
contents and gather feedback. Most of the materials and concepts will have been shared as part of earlier tasks, but this will give the team and the committee an opportunity to vet items that are still under refinement. This task assumes that the Steering Committee meeting will be conducted
virtually. Should an in-person meeting be requested, or additional subconsultants’ attendance needed, an additional hourly fee shall apply.
SUBTASK C.3: SCREEN CHECK DRAFT SPECIFIC PLAN
Following the receipt of the single set of redlined comments from staff on the Administrative Draft, RRM will produce a Screen Check Draft. At this point, the City’s comments will have been integrated, and this draft will provide an additional internal review to confirm previous comments were
addressed properly prior to releasing the public review draft.
SUBTASK C.4: PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT SPECIFIC PLAN
Public Review Draft Specific Plan
This draft is intended for public review and will include any remaining minor edits from City staff.
Vision Poster
A vision poster can be a valuable tool for keeping the vision alive and marketing Downtown Lodi for future grant and
investment opportunities. The RRM design team will use
work product developed as part of other tasks to create a one-sided vision poster that can be printed at 30” x 42” and legible at an 11” x 17” size. The poster will communicate the community’s vision through plan and perspective sketch illustrations to portray the future of Downtown Lodi.
DELIVERABLES:
• RRM will facilitate one (1) virtual steering committee meeting to present an overview of the Specific Plan.
• The RRM team will assemble consultant and City data into a comprehensive Specific Plan draft, format the document, SECTION 2 | Scope of Services
8/5/24
42 City of Lodi | PROPOSAL FOR DOW NTOWN SPE CIFIC PLA N 31 and produce one (1) electronic and one (1) hard copy of the Administrative Draft Specific Plan. This draft is for in-house administrative review only. It is anticipated that up to three (3) virtual meetings will be conducted with staff to discuss the development of the specific plan content, necessary coordination, or to get clarification on City comments. • Following receipt of the City provided consolidated redline draft comments, RRM will revise the Administrative Draft and provide one (1) electronic and one (1) hard copy of the Screencheck Draft Specific Plan. One (1) brief coordination call may be necessary to discuss City comments.
• City will provide one (1) consolidated marked-up redline version of all comments, and RRM will make such revisions.
RRM will provide one (1) electronic and one (1) hard copy of the Public Review Draft Specific Plan.
• One (1) electronic version draft colored vision plan poster for initial City staff review, and one (1) final version addressing staff comments.
SUBTASK C.5: SPECIFIC PLAN PREPARATION PHASE
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Throughout the project, RRM will need to coordinate
with City staff, various departments, subconsultants,
and interest groups. This task is intended to allow for necessary coordination between the project team members and City staff, including occasional teleconferences
and correspondence, record-keeping, electronic file
management, and additional necessary coordination. This assumes an average of eight (8) hours per month for up to ten (10) months.
TASK D: CEQA ANALYSIS
Morse Planning Group (MPG) will lead the environmental
compliance task and will coordinate with the City regarding the type of environmental clearance determined appropriate for the plan. It is anticipated that the project will use the General Plan EIR for clearance, depending on the findings of the initial study prepared for the Specific Plan. Once the planning team has defined the Downtown Specific Plan to the point that environmental analysis will be initiated, MPG will work with them to identify a project description suitable for inclusion in the CEQA document. Consistent with
the direction indicated in the RFP, we propose preparing a negative declaration/mitigated negative declaration. As a Specific Plan, and not individual development projects, is proposed, our analysis will be at a programmatic level.
Individual developments which are proposed under the
Downtown Specific Plan would likely require project-specific environmental review, as needed. This scope of work makes the following assumptions:
• It is assumed that the CEQA document will tier off
the General Plan EIR. This CEQA document and other
applicable City-adopted plans with CEQA documents
allow for the use of information relative to the proposed Specific Plan and applicable mitigation measures.
• It is assumed that City staff will be responsible for coordinating with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine and file the appropriate No Effect Determination (NED), where applicable, for areas/sites
within the Specific Plan boundary.
• It is assumed that City staff will be responsible for online CEQA documentation and notice submittals
to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) State
Clearinghouse (SCH), if applicable.
• It is assumed that City staff will be responsible for filing all relevant CEQA notices with the County Clerk.
During the CEQA Compliance process, if the City and MPG determine that an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) would be necessary, a separate scope, fee, and schedule would be prepared. The anticipated EIR work program would include Native American Tribal Consultation, Initial Study and Public Scoping Meeting, EIR Preparation (Administrative Draft EIR, Draft EIR, and Final EIR), CEQA Noticing, Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, Coordination, and Meetings and Public Hearings.
In addition, technical studies may be needed for the EIR, including but not limited to transportation/traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, hydrology, and/or water quality.
SUBTASK D.1: ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY &
SCOPING
This task assumes up to two (2) virtual meetings with
City staff and the RRM team during the preparation of the Specific Plan. Meeting discussions will focus on potential environmental review implications relative to the new areas added to the Specific Plan and if the proposed development standards may/may not result in new impacts.
Scope of Services | SECTION 2
8/5/24
43 32
MPG will review the draft Specific Plan and identify any inconsistencies or if additional analyses are required. If no changes are necessary, the CEQA options include a Negative Declaration/Mitigated Negative Declaration or an EIR
Addendum.
If at any time the need for an EIR is potentially triggered due to a significant impact that was not discussed in the previous EIR or for any other reason, the RRM team will consult with City staff immediately. If an EIR is determined to be necessary, a revised scope and fee estimate would be required. This task assumes a budget of six hours.
SUBTASK D.2: TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION CEQA
REVIEW
Traffic and Transportation
W-Trans will prepare a CEQA transportation analysis that will include the following subtasks:
• Trip Generation Estimate. W-Trans will estimate the
number of net new daily and peak hour trips added to
the study area based on the size and type of Downtown
Lodi Specific Plan land use changes.
• Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis. W-Trans will
incorporate the CEQA VMT impacts for the proposed
project from the GPEIR update. No new VMT analysis
or travel forecast model runs are assumed to be
required as part of this task.
The CEQA transportation study to be conducted by
W-Trans will be based on the preferred land use plan and include the following scenarios:
• Existing Conditions
• Cumulative 2040 (or General Plan Buildout Year)
No Project
• Cumulative 2040 (or General Plan Buildout Year) with
Downtown Lodi Specific Plan
Mitigation Measures
Practical and feasible mitigation measures to reduce the environmental impacts of implementation of the Downtown Lodi Specific Plan will be identified, and the parties
responsible for implementation will be identified. Mitigation measures developed in the General Plan Update EIR will
be incorporated as policies within the Specific Plan, where feasible. W-Trans will apply TDM measures to formulate
the initial mitigation measures to address any potential VMT impacts.
Project Alternatives
This task will also include analysis of the cumulative
alternatives identified in the Specific Plan preparation. The relative merits and disadvantages of the alternatives will be qualitatively assessed and compared with the proposed Downtown Lodi Specific Plan. An “environmentally superior” alternative will be identified, and the alternatives analysis will be less detailed than the analysis of the proposed project.
SUBTASK D.3: NEGATIVE DECLARATION/MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Tribal Consultation
MPG will assist the City in contacting the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) regarding the Local
Government Tribal Consultation List Request relative to SB 18 (General Plan) and AB 52 (CEQA Tribal Consultation List), as applicable. If the City already has a list of tribes that requested consultation per AB 52, that list will be used.
If not, the tribes identified by NAHC will be used. Upon receiving information from the NAHC, MPG will prepare
correspondence for City review and signature, and will email the correspondence to the identified tribes.
Initial Study/Environmental Assessment
MPG will prepare an Initial Study in accordance with
CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Lodi
CEQA Guidelines. The Initial Study will include detailed explanations of all checklist determinations, discussions of potential environmental impacts, and mitigation measures, if applicable. The Initial Study analysis shall be in accordance with all applicable sections of CEQA and the CEQA
Guidelines.
The environmental document will include the following
sections: Introduction, Project Description, Initial Study Checklist, Environmental Analysis, and Initial Study
Determination. MPG’s approach to the analysis portion
of the document is to provide a thorough, detailed, and conclusive impact analysis.
The topics to be reviewed include:
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural and Forestry Resources

comments received on the Public Review Draft Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration during the public review period, and prepare thorough, reasoned, and sensitive
responses to relevant environmental issues.
MPG will prepare the Administrative Responses to
Comments for review and comment by City staff. MPG
will submit one “check copy” of the final Responses
to Comments document, which will incorporate one
complete set of comments received from City staff on the Administrative Responses to Comments. For budgeting
purposes, a maximum of eight (8) hours has been assumed for MPG to prepare the Responses to Comments. Should
the comments be excessive and require more than the
budgeted time, this task and associated cost will be revisited.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program: MPG will
prepare the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) pursuant to CEQA Section 21081.6. MPG will
submit a draft version for City staff review and will follow with a final MMRP.
Completion of Final Environmental Document: Following
City Council approval of the CEQA document, MPG will
prepare a final environmental document, which will consist of the revised Public Review Draft Initial Study text, as necessary to address the comments received during the
public review period, and the MMRP.
MPG will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD) for
City staff review and signature. City staff will be responsible for transmitting the NOD to the County Clerk and to the State Clearinghouse (electronic submittal), along with the final CEQA document.
This task excludes the required California Department of Fish and Wildlife consultation and fees, which the City will be responsible for paying to the County Clerk, as applicable.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Update the Current Abatement Fee Schedule (CD)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Jonique Andrews, Senior Community Improvement Officer
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Update the Current Abatement Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 30, 2026, the current Rotating Abatement Contractor contracts are set to expire. In anticipation of these expirations, staff has reviewed and updated the Abatement Fee Schedule, as referenced in Attachment 1, to reflect current market conditions, including increases in material and labor costs. These adjustments are supported by data published in the Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) April 2026 report, which is widely regarded as an industry standard for construction cost trends and economic indicators.
Since its inception, the Abatement Fee Schedule has helped to expedite Code Enforcement and Fire Department activities requiring the boarding up of vacant, unsecured buildings and the removal of garbage, junk, weeds, and debris. Abatement actions are generally initiated when property owners fail to correct violations after receiving notice and an opportunity to comply. In such cases, the City proceeds with corrective action to address public health, safety, and nuisance conditions. The Abatement Fee Schedule provides standardized costs for these services, which supports consistent application and cost recovery.
Additionally, items 20-22 of the Fee Schedule address the additional costs associated with the disposal of garbage, junk, and debris during abatement activities. These charges reflect actual costs, based on either equipment rental quotes or the current dump fee schedule.
The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for On-Call Abatement Services was sent to interested Contractors on May 6, 2026. Contractors are required to submit their qualifications by June 8, 2026, in accordance with the instructions outlined in the RFQ. This RFQ will be used to establish a list of qualified contractors to enter into an agreement with the City of Lodi to provide on-call abatement services in support of Code Enforcement operations.
The proposed fee schedule has been reviewed by the Lodi Fire Department, which has indicated its agreement. The Lodi Fire Department will also utilize the updated fee schedule for abatement-related activities, where applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The increase in abatement costs is passed directly to the property owner/responsible party. The updated fee schedule may further encourage voluntary compliance, potentially reducing the need for City-initiated abatement actions and associated expenditures over time.

Melissa Price, Assistant Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute a five-year Professional Services Agreement with Efficiency Services Group, LLC of Hillsboro, OR for Energy Program Administration, Implementation and Support in an amount not-to-exceed $2,388,784.

The current Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with ESG expires on June 30, 2026. For over 10 years, ESG has helped deliver $6.5 million in rebates to its customers. LEU programs administered by ESG have provided over 27.5 million kilowatt hours of energy savings - enough to power over four thousand homes in California for a year. In addition to continuing to provide EE program administration, ESG has helped LEU develop and expand its Electric Vehicle (EV) rebate program.

ESG provides many of these same services to other members of the Northern California Power Agency (NCPA), and as a result, members including LEU benefit from economies of scale where costs are shared.
Equally important are the efficiencies realized in terms of mandatory State compliance reporting provided by ESG for NCPA member agencies. ESG has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness in the field, its ability to maintain confidential customer data, its expertise and resource availability in the energy industry, responsiveness to both the needs of LEU staff as well as its customers and continues to maintain an excellent working relationship with LEU as well as key commercial and industrial customers as it relates to both short- and long-term energy efficiency planning, projects and goals.
Therefore, in accordance with Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070, staff requests that City Council waive the bid process and authorize approval of the five-year PSA with ESG as LEU’senergy services administrator as outlined above.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total five-year cost is not-to-exceed $2,388,784, approximately 70 percent of which is programmed as direct incentive payments to customers under direct install efforts.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Funding for this PSA will be included each year in the Public Benefits Fund 504 and Greenhouse Gas Fund 508 as part of the annual budget process starting in Fiscal Year 2026/27.

Annual Budget
The budget for programs and services under this SOW for the five-year term is not to exceed $2,388,783.46. LEU may allocate the budget across any or all programs and services listed in this SOW. This provides LEU with the flexibility to prioritize programs and services across customer market sectors as information is gained and as conditions may change, ensure that programs and services are available to all customers, including hard-to-reach customers, and achieve energy efficiency and electrification goals.
Energy Programs Administration
Efficiency Services Group has operated as the third-party administrator of LEU’s Energy Programs, including Energy Efficiency (EE) Public Benefit Fund Program since 2014. During that time, the program has delivered $6.5 million in rebates and served to 7,648 residential customers and 965 businesses in Lodi. The program has provided over 27.5 million kilowatt hours of energy savings. That is enough to power over four thousand homes in California for a year. In addition to continuing to provide EE program administration, LEU has expanded the Electric Vehicle (EV) Program that is funded in part by the State’s Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) program and greenhouse gas funding.
Program Management (Ongoing)
• Maintain program hotline to address customer/contractor inquiries regarding Lodi’s EE and EV programs; the hotline will be staffed 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday (except for major holidays) • Manage residential, commercial and industrial EE and EV rebate programs, including review of all customer/contractor rebate applications and project documentation to ensure compliance with LEU program specifications and requirements

This may include customer inquiries regarding unusually high energy use and evaluations for potential participation in Lodi’s energy programs.
Requests for field visits will be scheduled in a way that provides timely response to customer/contractor requests, while maximizing the use of the Field Specialist’s time. A Field Specialist will be available each month. Field support will be performed by knowledgeable, experienced Field Specialists. The City reserves the right to modify this practice based upon customer response and ease of administration. Any modification will be communicated in writing from the City to ESG.
Reporting
ESG will complete and submit annual EE reports in compliance with SB1037 requirements on behalf of LEU. ESG will assist with other reporting as requested.
Third-Party and Subcontractor Oversight
If LEU contracts with another entity to provide energy efficiency services in the City, ESG will provide oversight of the contractors, including:
• Review of contractor’s deliverables/responsibilities
• Review of contractor’s project documentation/reports submitted to LEU to ensure that work is complete, accurate and compliant with program requirements
• Coordinate with contractors and LEU staff to resolve any questions or issues that arise • ESG will provide oversight of any third party contractors • The City reserves the right to approve assigned subcontractors

Pricing

Direct Install Programs
LEU has partnered with ESG on Direct Install programs since 2015, starting with residential offerings and recently launching a program for commercial customers. These programs have been successful in helping LEU meet energy saving and strategic goals and are popular with customers.
For residential customers, the Direct Install program has been popular with customers and provided energy and water savings. It is also a great resource for renters and customers with fixed or limited income who are unable to participate in the standard rebate program due to financial constraints or the inability to make permanent changes to rental property. ESG will work with Lodi to determine how this program can best meet the needs of Lodi by providing energy and water savings and a positive experience for residential customers.
95 4
The commercial direct install program was initially implemented to serve the Central Avenue and Cherokee Lane corridors. We are proposing to expand efforts to other areas, including the downtown district to support the City’s strategic plan and vision. It has been popular with customers and is supporting LEU’s efforts to meet energy- savings targets.
As residential and commercial customer needs change over time, these programs can be adjusted to include new technologies and strategies to serve the customers and support the City’s goals, strategic objectives and strategic vision.
ESG will coordinate with LEU to determine the scope and customers served, for example residential, commercial, small businesses, industrial, etc.
ESG will provide complete program administration, including:
• Coordinate with Lodi to sign customers up for the program • Direct installation of selected measures in eligible homes and businesses • Collect customer and site data
• Deliver marketing, educational, and customer relations collateral to explain benefits and applications of installed measures, promote other utility programs as requested, and strengthen relationships with customers; development of new collateral materials may be at additional cost, with prior approval by Lodi • Supply all product, materials and labor associated with the installation of measures • Complete program administration, including customer hotline, invoicing, reporting, inventory management and compliance
Lodi will be asked to provide the following:
• Coordinate with ESG to sign customers up for the program • Review and approval of marketing and customer relation materials • Provide identification badges issued by the City of Lodi
Customer Eligibility
ESG will work with LEU staff to determine customer eligibility criteria. Lodi Customer Service Representatives can refer customers to the program. Customers may also email or call to sign up for the program, or ESG may approach customers directly. ESG will coordinate with Lodi to finalize a strategy to approach customers and generate sign-ups for the program.
Direct Install Measures (DIMs)
ESG will work with LEU to finalize the DIMs and quantities to be offered to customers through this program. ESG will make product recommendations to Lodi based on field installation experience and customer satisfaction feedback. In addition to the DIMs, EEAs will have the opportunity while in customer homes and businesses to promote LEU’s rebate programs as well as other related programs that could benefit the customer.
Reportable Energy Savings
Energy savings for the DIMs will be provided in ESG’s monthly reports.
Strategic Partner
ESG will serve as the program administrator. ESG will partner with RD Energy Solutions of 7333 SE Ellis St, Portland Oregon in the implementation of the program. RD Energy Solutions is the installation partner for our commercial and residential direct installation programs, including the current LEU programs. ESG and RD have partnered to implement EE programs for over twenty utilities in California and the Northwest.

AGENDA ITEM C.6
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with CivicPlus of Manhattan, Kansas for Website Hosting and Management Services ($176,268.11) (IS - IT)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Joseph Caswell, Information Technology Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the Interim City Manager or Designee to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with CivicPlus of Manhattan, Kansas for website hosting and management services ($176,268.11).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A strong and mobile
‑
optimized web presence is essential for communicating with residents, businesses, and visitors.
In June 2024, the City entered into a five
‑
year Professional Services Agreement with CivicPlus for website hosting and management services. This proposed action would terminate that June 2024 agreement and replace it with a new Professional Services Agreement for a three ‑
year term.
The renegotiated Agreement, Attachment 1, includes an updated scope of services, removes unused modules and adds features the City will actively use, resulting in new cost savings. The SeeClickFix work order module will be removed, as it was never implemented and no department identified a use for it.
The Agreement includes creation of a dedicated Economic Development sub ‑
site. Implementation costs for
the sub-site are $10,266.80, with recurring annual costs of $3,428.27 in year one and $4,503.45 in year two, followed by a 5% increase in year three. The three-year total for this module is $22,927.14. This addition has been requested by the Economic Development Department and is expected to expand community outreach efforts.
Enhanced security will be deployed through a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution. Implementation costs for the SSO solution are $1,575.00, with recurring annual costs of $1,497.92 in year one and $1,967.70 in year two, followed by a 5% increase in year three. The three-year total for this module is $7,106.71. SSO is a long-term strategy of the Information Technology Division, consistent with industry best practices, strengthening security through enforcement of stronger authentication standards.
A full website redesign is also included, allowing all departments to review and update content while modernizing the City’s overall web presence.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
The overall cost for the Agreement will be $63,154.74 for the first year, $55,177.25 for the second, and $57,936.12 for the third. The three-year total not-to-exceed amount for the new Agreement is $176,268.11. For comparison, the previous agreement would have come at a cost of $242,294.17 over the same three-year period. This renegotiated Agreement therefore represents a cost savings of $66,026.06.
In accordance with Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.077, the Information Technology Manager is authorized to acquire electronic services through negotiation, request for proposals, or competitive bid, with award based on “best value” criteria. This agreement was negotiated to provide increased service and value through the City’s existing vendor through the timeline of the original agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for this purchase is included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 budget. The renegotiated Agreement will decrease cost for this item over the three-year period.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Funding for this purchase is included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 budget. There is no additional impact from this action.

AGENDA ITEM C.7
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment No.1 with West Yost & Associates, Inc., of Davis, for Monitoring Well Network Modification Support at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility ($76,840) (PW)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment No.1 with West Yost & Associates, Inc., of Davis, for Monitoring Well Network Modification Support at White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility ($76,840).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City’s2024 Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) requested permission from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to modify the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) monitoring well network. The City’smonitoring well network consists of eleven compliance wells and three background wells.
This network is relatively extensive compared to similar agencies and supports long-term groundwater elevation and water quality monitoring, with data collection dating back to 2008 and earlier.
The RWQCB subsequently approved modifications to the monitoring network, including removal of select wells (WSM-2, WSM-10, WSM-11, WSM-13, WSM-19, RMW-2, and RMW-3) and replacement of a damaged well (WSM-17R). West Yost is providing management and oversight of the well destruction and replacement work, including coordination with regulatory agencies and preparation of required documentation.
During implementation, an additional effort was necessary due to regulatory requirements and site-specific conditions that were not fully defined at the time of the original agreement. These included securing access agreements with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), addressing County permitting requirements such as construction bonding, complying with prevailing wage requirements for subcontracted work, and coordinating with property owners for access and easements. In addition, increased coordination and project management were necessary to maintain the project schedule and meet RWQCB compliance requirements.
These additional efforts are necessary to complete the approved monitoring well network modifications and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Compliance with waste discharge permit requirements reduces the City’s risk of regulatory violations and potential fines from the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The requested amendment is funded through City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 2

AGENDA ITEM C.8
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Levy and Collection of Assessments, Approving the Annual Report, and Declaring Intention to Levy and Collect Assessments for the Lodi Consolidated Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2003-1 for Fiscal Year 2026/27; and Set Public Hearing for June 17, 2026 (PW)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the levy and collection of assessments, approving the annual report, and declaring intention to levy and collect assessments for the Lodi Consolidated Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2003-1 for Fiscal Year 2026/27; and set the public hearing for June 17, 2026.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Between 2003 and 2007 the City Council formed a total of 16 zones of the Lodi Consolidated Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2003-1 (District). The scope of maintenance activities funded by the District includes landscape and irrigation, masonry block walls, and street parkway trees. The activities and levy amounts vary by zone, as described in the City of Lodi, Lodi Consolidated Landscape Maintenance Assessment District No. 2003 1, Annual Report (Report), Fiscal Year 2026/27.
The Report includes diagrams of the District showing the area and properties proposed to be assessed; an assessment of the estimated costs of maintenance, operations, and servicing of improvements; and the net levy upon all assessable lots and/or parcels within the District.
The cost of maintenance increased slightly compared to last year, and continues to be more than the amount being assessed to the district. Similar to last year, the account has a substantial reserve, generated over many years, which will be utilized to allow the individual zones and the total District’sassessment for Fiscal Year 2026/27 to remain unchanged from Fiscal Year 2025/26. Staff intends to utilize the reserve to offset annual increases until such time that the reserve is reduced to an appropriate level. At that time, the assessment will be adjusted as necessary. The annual assessments vary by zone, and range from $18.35 to $55.05 per year.
The District’sFiscal Year 2026/27 budget is provided in Exhibit A. The full Engineers Report is provided in Exhibit B.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for preparation of the annual report is included in the assessments.

2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 3
2. OVERVIEW
This Report describes the District and details the assessments to be levied against the parcels for Fiscal Year 2026/27. Such assessments account for all estimated direct and incidental expenses, deficits/surpluses, revenues, and reserves associated with the improvements’ operation, servicing, and maintenance.
The word “parcel” for this Report refers to an individual property that has been assigned an Assessor’s Parcel Number by the San Joaquin County (the “County”) Assessor. The County Auditor-Controller uses the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers and specific Tax Codes to identify the parcels assessed on the County Tax Roll within special benefit districts.
2.1 District Formation and Annexation History
The District is currently comprised of 13 distinct Zones within the City. New Zones may be annexed into the District if approved via property owner balloting proceedings.
ZONES 1 AND 2
A report was prepared in 2003 for Zones 1 and 2. Property owner balloting proceedings were conducted for the Fiscal Year 2004/05 assessment. After attaining property owner approval, the City began levying and collecting these assessments on the County Tax Roll to provide continuous funding for the related improvements.
ZONES 3 THROUGH 6
In 2004, separate reports were prepared for Zones 3 through 6. Property owner balloting proceedings were conducted within Zones 3 and 4 for the Fiscal Year 2004/05 assessment and within Zones 5 and 6 for the Fiscal Year 2005/06 assessment. After attaining property owner approval, the City began levying and collecting these assessments on the County Tax Roll to provide continuous funding for the related improvements.
ZONES 8, 9, AND 11
A separate report was prepared in 2005 for Zones 8, 9, and 11. Property owner balloting proceedings were conducted for the Fiscal Year 2005/06 assessment. After attaining property owner approval, the City began levying and collecting these assessments on the County Tax Roll to provide continuous funding for the related improvements.
ZONE 13
A separate engineer’s Report was prepared in 2007 for Zone 13. Property owner balloting proceedings were conducted for the Fiscal Year 2007/08 assessment. After attaining property owner approval, the City began levying and collecting these assessments on the County Tax Roll to provide continuous funding for the related improvements.

ZONES 14 THROUGH 16
A separate engineer’s Report was prepared in 2008 for Zones 14 through 16. Property owner balloting proceedings were conducted for the Fiscal Year 2008/09 assessment. After attaining property owner approval, the City began levying and collecting these assessments on the County Tax Roll to provide continuous funding for the related improvements.
2.2 Effect of Proposition 218
On November 5, 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 (Government Code commencing with Section 53739) by a margin of 56.5% to 43.5%. The provisions of the Proposition, now a part of the California Constitution, add substantive and procedural requirements to assessments which affect the City’s landscape maintenance assessments.
The Act, Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California, and the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act are referred to collectively as the “Assessment Law.” 167

4. BENEFITS
The special benefits conferred from the installation and maintenance of the improvements need to be identified. The improvements shown in Section 3 are now reasonably determined to confer certain special benefits to parcels within each applicable Zone, and such special benefits are described below.
4.1 Masonry Wall Maintenance
An area’s overall appeal is enhanced when neighborhood masonry wall improvements are in place and kept in satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal decreases when such walls are deteriorating, damaged, unsafe, or defaced by graffiti.
4.1.1 IMPROVED AESTHETICS
When coupled with landscaping improvements, neighborhood masonry walls improve properties’ livability, appearance, and desirability within each applicable Zone. Such walls also create a sense of community within the applicable Zones. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes significantly affect how people view and interact with their community. With safe and inviting streetscapes, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity, and attract residents and visitors to the community.
4.2 Landscape Maintenance
An area’s overall appeal is enhanced when landscaping improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal decreases when landscaping is overgrown, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism.
4.2.1 IMPROVED AESTHETICS
Street landscaping improvements improve the livability, commercial activity, appearance, and desirability of properties within each applicable Zone. Regular maintenance ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair that is materially detrimental to properties adjacent to or near the improvements within each applicable Zone. According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute (2011), streetscapes significantly affect how people view and interact with their community. With safe and inviting streetscapes, people are more likely to walk, which can help reduce automobile traffic, improve public health, stimulate local economic activity, and attract residents and visitors to the community.
4.3 Street Parkway Trees Maintenance
An area’s overall appeal is enhanced when street parkway tree improvements are in place and kept in a healthy and satisfactory condition. Conversely, appeal decreases when street parkway trees are overgrown, unsafe, or destroyed by the elements or vandalism.
4.3.1 IMPROVED AESTHETICS
Much like street landscaping improvements, maintenance of street parkway trees improves the livability, appearance, and desirability of properties within each applicable Zone. Regular maintenance ensures that the improvements do not reach a state of deterioration or disrepair that is materially detrimental to 171
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 9 properties adjacent to or near the improvements within each applicable Zone. According to the Urban Forestry Network, trees add beauty to their surroundings by adding color to an area, softening harsh lines of buildings, screening unsightly views, and contributing to the character of their environment. Trees have also been proven to contribute to a community’s economy and way of life. Trees planted along and around buildings distract the eye, softening the background. Trees also contribute eye-catching colors to their surroundings, from the different shades of green in the leaves, the colors in flowering trees, and sometimes even the tree bark.

5. QUANTIFICATION OF GENERAL BENEFIT
5.1 Introduction
According to Article XIIID, all parcels that receive a special benefit conferred upon them as a result of the improvements shall be identified, and the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel shall be determined in relation to the entire cost of the improvements. Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by local agencies to provide specific public improvements necessary or convenient for certain public services.
Section 22573 of the Act requires that assessments be levied according to the benefit received rather than assessed value. This Section states:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
Article XIIID, Section 4(a) of the California Constitution limits the amount of any assessment to the proportional special benefit conferred on the property. Article XIIID also provides that publicly owned properties must be assessed unless there is clear and convincing evidence that those properties receive no special benefit. Furthermore, it’s required that the City separate the general benefits from special benefits because only special benefits may be assessed by property owners.
5.2 Separation of General Benefit
Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution provides that once a local agency that proposes to impose assessments on the property has identified those parcels that will have special benefits conferred upon them, the local agency must next “separate the general benefits from the special benefits conferred.” Only the special benefits can be included in the amount to be imposed by the assessment.
General benefit is an overall similar benefit to the public resulting from the improvements and services to be provided. The District improvements and maintenance services, which are more fully presented in Section 3 of this Report, will only be provided within the boundaries of each Zone. The District outside each Zone’s boundaries will provide no improvements or maintenance services.
The improvements provide aesthetic benefits to the properties within the various Zones of the District.
However, it’s recognized that the maintenance of the improvements also benefits some properties and businesses near the District and visitors and individuals passing through the District. Vehicular traffic and pedestrians passing through the various Zones will be able to enjoy the improvements and maintenance services. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify these general benefits.
5.3 Masonry Wall Maintenance
One method for determining the general aesthetic benefit conferred by the maintenance of the various neighborhood masonry walls is to compare the estimated time spent by occupants in vehicles and pedestrians traversing the improvements (general) to the estimated time spent by the population of the 173
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 11 various Zones close to the improvements (special). Estimated time for these purposes will be referred to as “population hours,” i.e., the number of accumulated hours per day attributed to people in and around the area of the improvements. For this calculation, we will assign 24 hours to the estimated number of persons residing within each Zone.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2014), the average household size in the City is 2.82 persons. The following shows the number of residential units, the estimated number of persons, and the total population hours of each Zone benefitting from masonry wall maintenance:
Zone

2 133 375 9,001.44
5 223 629 15,092.64
6 80 226 5,414.40
8 17 48 1,150.56
11 8 23 541.44
TOTAL 535 1,510 36,208.80
1 The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole number. 2 The estimated Number of Persons is multiplied by 24 (hours).
We now need to estimate the population hours generated by occupants in vehicles passing by the masonry wall improvements throughout the District. Any vehicle using the City’s streets that lie along the boundaries of the District that is coming or going to a parcel within the District ultimately is not part of the “general public” benefitting from the improvements and services and will not be included in the calculation of general benefit. We will use several factors for such calculation, including average daily vehicle trips for the streets passing by the improvements of each Zone, the speed limit of those streets, the length of the improvements, and the estimated number of occupants per vehicle.
According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation (2011), the weighted average number of occupants per vehicle is 1.674. The following table shows the average number of occupants for each mode of vehicular transportation, the percentage of each mode of vehicular transportation, and the overall weighted average occupancy per vehicle:
Mode Occupants
Percentage of
All Vehicles
Weighted
Occupancy
Car 1.59 50.6% 0.804
Van 2.35 7.9% 0.187
Sport Utility 1.92 17.9% 0.344
Pickup 1.49 19.9% 0.296
Other Truck 1.12 0.4% 0.004
Motorcycle 1.18 3.3% 0.039
Weighted Average Vehicle Occupancy 1.674
Using the weighted average vehicle occupancy number determined above, we can estimate the number of vehicle occupants passing by the improvements each day. We then multiply the time it takes to traverse the improvements at the given speed limit by the number of estimated vehicle occupants to derive population hours for vehicular traffic.

1 Data provided by the City was adjusted to remove estimated average daily vehicle trips generated by the parcels within each Zone based upon data compiled in the ITE Trip Generation Manual (7th Edition) so that they are not included in the general benefit calculation.
2 The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole number.
In addition to vehicular traffic passing by the improvements, we also need to estimate the general benefits conferred to pedestrians who don’t reside within the District but may walk by the improvements. For this purpose, we will consider the estimated population within one-half mile of the various masonry wall improvements who may walk past those improvements daily.
The Summary of Travel Trends, 2009 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) prepared by the U.S.
Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA, 2011) analyzed the number of person trips by various modes of transportation such as private vehicle, transit, walking, or some other means of transportation. According to the Pacific Division data extracted from the 2009 NHTS database, of the annual 181,703 (in millions) total person trips, 21,252 (in millions) or 11.70% of those person-trips were made by using walking as their mode of transportation (FHWA, 2011).
To determine the estimated total number of persons who are within proximity to the masonry wall improvements and would utilize walking as their mode of transportation, we applied the 11.70% of person trips reported from the NHTS Pacific Division study to the estimated number of persons residing within one-half mile of each Zone boundary.
To obtain a better picture of the overall level of general benefit provided by the masonry wall improvements, pedestrian traffic that utilizes walking as the mode of transportation must be considered, which may walk by the various improvements but live outside of the various Zones. The 2009 NHTS further details the purposes of the 21,252 (in millions) reported walking trips. Based on the property types within the District, people walking along the improvements would most likely do so for the following reasons:
walking to school, daycare or religious activity, social or recreational activities, and shopping or running errands.
175
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 13 The following details the number of walking trips, based on the 2009 NHTS study, for each of the activities that are the most likely reasons people outside of each Zone would use the sidewalks along the Zone boundary where the improvements are located:
Trip Purpose

School/Daycare/ Religious -Activity 872
Shopping/Errands 5,820
Social/Recreational 2,268
Don’t know/Other 139
Total 9,099
Of the total number of walking, trips reported, 9,099 (in millions), or 42.81%, are for purposes that persons outside of each Zone would utilize the sidewalks along the Zone boundary where the improvements are located. We then need to estimate the accumulated time for these pedestrians to traverse the various improvements, walking at a conservative average speed of 2 MPH.

4 An estimated 42.81% of pedestrians may walk by improvements for the abovementioned purposes. The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole number.
5 It was estimated using an average walking speed of 2 MPH.
Summing the total special and general population hours gives us a total of 36,692.65; therefore, the general benefit to vehicle occupants and pedestrians passing by the masonry wall improvements throughout the District is estimated to be 1.32% [(337.97 + 145.88) / 36,692.65].
Masonry Wall General Benefit 1.32%
5.4 Landscape Maintenance
To estimate the general aesthetic benefit conferred by the maintenance of the various landscaping improvements throughout the District, we will use the same methodology to determine the general benefits conferred by the maintenance of the masonry wall improvements. The landscaping improvements for Zones 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 11 are all along the masonry walls within those Zones, so the population-hours data calculated for the masonry wall improvements will be the same for the landscape maintenance. 176
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 14 However, there are four additional Zones for which the landscape maintenance must be considered: Zones 13, 14, 15, and 16.

Three non-residential Zones benefit from the landscaping improvements and need to be considered. Due to the commercial nature of these properties, the calculation of population hours will differ from that of the residential parcels. For these parcels, we will estimate population hours, factoring in how long it takes for each vehicle trip generated by the properties within these Zones to traverse the improvements located within each Zone. The following table shows the calculation of population hours for the non-residential Zones:

The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole number.
From this, we have determined that the total population hours relating to special benefits are 37,393.12:
Category

Residential 37,360.36
Non -Residential 32.76
TOTAL 37,393.12
We now need to estimate the population hours generated by occupants in vehicles passing by the landscape improvements throughout the District. Any vehicle using the City’s streets that lie along the boundaries of the District that is coming or going to a parcel within the District ultimately is not part of the “general public” benefitting from the improvements and services and will not be included in the calculation of general benefit.
177
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 15 Like in the previous subsection, we will use several factors for such calculation, including average daily vehicle trips for the streets passing by the improvements of each Zone, the speed limit of those streets, the length of the improvements, and the estimated number of occupants per vehicle. The following table summarizes the calculation of population hours for vehicle occupants passing by the landscape improvements based on the methodology and assumptions above:

1 The improvements for Zones 13 and 15 are precisely the same, so they were considered one entity for purposes of this calculation.
2 Average Daily Trips along Westgate Dr. were estima ted using data compiled in the ITE Trip Generation Manual (7 th Edition) since data from the City was unavailable.
3 Data provided by the City; adjusted to remove esti mated average daily vehicle trips generated by the parcels within each Zone, based upon data compiled in the ITE Trip Generation Manual (7 th Edition), so they are not included in the general benefit calculation.
4 The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole n umber.
In addition to vehicular traffic passing by the improvements, we also need to estimate the general benefits conferred to pedestrians who don’t reside within the District but may walk by the improvements. For this purpose, we will consider the estimated population within one-half mile of the various landscape improvements who may walk past those improvements daily:

City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 16 5 An estimated 42.81% of pedestrians may walk by improvements for purposes described in Section 5.3. The number shown is rounded to the nearest whole number.
6 It was estimated using an average walking speed of 2 MPH.
Summing the special and general population hours gives us a total of 38,694.63; therefore, the general benefit to vehicle occupants and pedestrians passing by the landscape improvements throughout the District is estimated to be 3.36% [(1,068.78 + 232.73) / 38,694.63].
Landscaping General Benefit 3.36%
5.5 Street Parkway Trees Maintenance
All the street parkway tree improvements within the various Zones are along what are considered local streets, i.e., streets other than major arterial or collector streets within the City. In other words, these streets are intended to serve only the individual residential neighborhoods in which they are located and not to be pass-through streets. In addition, according to the City’s General Plan (2010), local streets accommodate low volumes of local traffic and provide access to individual parcels. Local streets typically have two travel lanes and allow parking on both sides of the street. Through traffic is permitted on local streets, but high speeds are discouraged.
From a visual inspection of the layout of the various Zones, one must conclude that the purpose of the local streets is exclusively intended for the benefit of the parcels on such streets. There is no local street that provides a direct or efficient means of traveling from one place to another such that one could reasonably expect a driver to purposefully choose the District’s local streets as the best route for travel unless necessary because the route either began or ended with a parcel in the District. A route beginning or ending with a parcel within the District does not include the “general public” to determine general benefit.
However, one can imagine a minimal degree of pass-through traffic, even on a cul-de-sac. As expressed by the Appellate Court in Beutz v. County of Riverside (2010), “... courts of this state have long recognized that virtually all public improvement projects provide general benefits .” Given the location of the schools, parks, and shopping in the City, there are bound to be drivers that make use of the local streets for no other reason but to turn around or go back from where they came, especially if they are dropping their children off at one of the schools. Additionally, given the nature of the street trees, one could imagine a small degree of “residential tourism” wherein drivers “pass-through” to enjoy the beautiful views of the homes and the natural surroundings or visit friends. A conservative estimate of 0.50% for each scenario would result in the general benefit portion of the improved aesthetic benefits resulting from the maintenance of the street parkway trees on local streets being 1.00%, and the special benefit is estimated to be 99.00%.
Street Parkway Trees General Benefit 1.00%
5.6 Collective General Benefit
Since the District is comprised of improved aesthetic benefits resulting from a blend of improvements (masonry walls, landscaping, and street parkway trees), the activity of pedestrians and vehicles must be addressed collectively rather than independently. Therefore, the arithmetic mean of the general benefit percentages has been used to quantify the overall level of general benefit for the District.
179
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 17 This general benefit result is provided in the table below:
Masonry Walls General Benefit 1.32%
Landscaping General Benefit 3.36%
Street Parkway Trees General Benefit 1.00%
District General Benefit 1.89%
The general benefit, the percentage of annual maintenance costs that must be funded through sources other than assessments, is 1.89%. The special benefit, the percentage of the total annual maintenance costs assessments may fund, is 98.11%.

6. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Section 22573 of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit. This Section states:
“The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.”
The 1972 Act also permits the designation of Zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if “by reasons or variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement” (Sec 22574).
The Method of Assessment uses the following components to assign special benefit to each parcel:
Benefit Points: Assignment of points for aesthetic special benefits. Benefit Factor: Multiplier. This is the Dwelling Unit Equivalent (DUE) value per parcel. Benefit Units: Sum of a parcel’s benefit points multiplied by the parcel’s benefit factor. The total amount is the special benefit units assigned to a parcel.
The total maintenance and operation costs, less the amount of general benefits identified, will be assessed for the parcels within the District based on the benefit units assigned to each parcel.
6.1 Benefit Points
The following table shows the Aesthetic Benefit Points to be assigned per DUE for each Zone, based upon the benefits conferred by the maintenance of various Landscape, Masonry Wall, and Street Tree improvements within the District (one point for each of the improvement types):

2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 19
6.2 Benefit Factor
The basis of determining a parcel’s benefit factor is a weighting formula commonly known as a Dwelling Unit Equivalent (DUE). The developed single-family residential parcel is used as the base unit for calculating the benefit factor and is defined as 1.00 DUE. All other property types are assigned a DUE that reflects their proportional special benefit compared to the single-family residential parcel.
The following table illustrates how DUEs are assigned to various types of property throughout the District:
PROPERTY TYPE BENEFIT FACTOR
Single Family Residential 1.000 per property
Multi -Family Residential (Duplex) 2.000 per property
Multi -Family Residential (3 or more units) 5.000 per Acre Commercial or Office
For the First 7.5 Acres 5.000 per Acre
For the Next 7.5 Acres 2.500 per Acre
For All Acreage Over 15.0 Acres 1.250 per Acre
Industrial 4.000 per Acre
6.3 Benefit Units
The following table shows the resulting total Aesthetic Benefit Units within each Zone:

Zone 4 1 x 34.000 = 34.000
Zone 5 3 x 223.000 = 669.000
Zone 6 3 x 80.000 = 240.000
Zone 8 3 x 17.000 = 51.000
Zone 9 1 x 11.000 = 11.000
Zone 11 3 x 8.000 = 24.000
Zone 13 1 x 93.104 = 93.104
Zone 14 2 x 16.000 = 32.000
Zone 15 1 x 36.268 = 36.268
Zone 16 1 x 8.3600 = 8.360

1 Assessable Annual Costs are maintenance costs minu s the amount determined to relate to general benefits that are not assessable.
Since the assessment rate has traditionally been presented as an Assessment Rate per DUE, it is important to convert these Assessment Rates per Benefit Unit into the simpler Assessment Rate per DUE for comparative purposes. For any parcel within the District, that calculation is as follows:
Assessment Rate per

= Assessment Rate per

Assessment Rates per DUE for each Zone—based on the FY 2026/27 budget for the District—can be found in Section 7 of this Report.
6.5 Adjustments to Maximum Assessments
Any new or increased assessment requires specific notices and must meet the law requirements. Before the passage of Proposition 218, legislative changes in the Article XIIID of the Constitution of the State of California defined the definition of “new or increased assessment” to exclude certain conditions. These conditions included “any assessment that does not exceed an assessment formula or range of assessments previously adopted by the agency or approved by the voters in the area where the assessment is imposed.” SB919 (Proposition 218 implementing legislation) later confirmed this definition and conditions.
Establishing an assessment range formula is to provide for reasonable increases and inflationary adjustments to annual assessments without requiring costly noticing and mailing procedures, which could add to the District costs and assessments. At each Zone’s formation, balloting of property owners was required, according to Proposition 218. The property owner ballots included an assessment to be approved, as well as the approval of an assessment range formula. Property owners within the District approved the proposed assessment and the assessment range formula.
The assessment range formula shall be applied to all future assessments within the District. Generally, suppose the proposed annual assessment for the current fiscal year is less than or equal to the maximum Assessment (or adjusted maximum Assessment). In that case, the proposed annual assessment is not considered an increased assessment. The maximum assessment is equal to the initial assessment approved by property owners, adjusted annually by the following criteria:
1. The maximum assessment will be recalculated annually in the second fiscal year and each fiscal year after that.
183
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 21
2. The new adjusted maximum assessment for the year represents the prior year’s maximum assessment adjusted by the greater of:
a. 5%,
b. or the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index (the “CPI”).
Each year, the annual increase in the CPI shall be computed. For Fiscal Year 2026/27, the increase in CPI is the percentage difference between the CPI of December 2023 and the CPI for the previous December, as provided and established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (FY 2026/27 CPI increase is 2.76%). This percentage difference shall then establish the allowed increase based on CPI. The index will be the “All urban consumers – San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA” area. Should the Bureau of Labor Statistics revise or discontinue preparing such an index, the City shall use the revised index or comparable system approved by the Council to determine fluctuations in the cost of living.
If CPI is less than 5%, the allowable adjustment to the maximum assessment is 5%. If CPI exceeds 5%, the allowable adjustment to the maximum assessment is based on CPI. The maximum assessment is adjusted annually and calculated independently of the District’s budget and proposed annual assessment. Any proposed annual assessment (rate per DUE) less than or equal to this maximum assessment is not considered an increased assessment, even if the proposed assessment is greater than the assessment applied in the prior fiscal year.
The following table illustrates how the assessment range formula shall be applied:
Example
CPI %
Increase
5.00%
Increase
Max % Increase
Without Re-
Balloting
Prior Year
Max Rate
Per DUE
Increase Per
DUE
New Max
Rate Per
DUE
1 5.25% 5.00% 5.25% $403.00 $21.16 $424.16
2 3.44% 5.00% 5.00% $403.00 $20.15 $423.15
For example, if the percentage change in CPI is greater than 5%, as in Example 1, then the percentage adjustment to the maximum assessment will be by CPI. Suppose the percentage change in CPI is less than 5%; as in Example 2, the percentage adjustment to the maximum assessment will be 5%.
As previously illustrated, the maximum assessment will be recalculated and adjusted annually. However, the Council may reduce or freeze the maximum assessment at any time by amending the annual engineer’s Report.
Although the maximum assessment will generally increase yearly, the assessments may remain virtually unchanged. The maximum assessment adjustment is designed to establish a reasonable limit on assessments. The maximum assessment calculated each year does not require or facilitate an annual increase nor restricts assessments to the maximum adjustment amount.
If the budget and assessments for the fiscal year do not require an increase, or the increase is less than the adjusted maximum assessment. The budget may be applied within the assessment without additional property owner balloting.
If the budget and assessments calculated require an increase greater than the adjusted maximum assessment, then the assessment is considered an increased assessment. 184
City of Lodi
2026/27 Engineer’s Report – Landscape Maintenance District No. 2003-1 22 To impose an increased assessment, the Council must comply with the provisions of Proposition 218 (Article XIIID Section 4c of the California Constitution). Proposition 218 requires a public hearing and certain protest procedures, including mailed notices of the public hearing and property owner protest balloting. Through the balloting process, property owners must approve the proposed assessment increase. If the proposed assessment is approved, a new maximum assessment is established. If the proposed assessment is not approved, the Council may not levy an assessment greater than the previously established adjusted maximum assessment.

9. FISCAL YEAR 2026/27 ASSESSMENT ROLL
The assessment roll for each Zone is shown on the following pages. The description of each lot or parcel as part of the records of the County Assessor of the County of San Joaquin is, by reference, made part of this Report.
Assessor’s parcel identification for each lot or parcel within the District shall be based on the County Assessor’s secured roll data for the applicable year in which this Report is prepared and is incorporated herein by reference.
A listing of the Assessor’s parcels assessed within the District for Fiscal Year 2026/27, along with the assessment amounts, is on file in the office of the City Clerk and incorporated herein by reference. Based on the County Assessor’s secured roll data, the current Assessor’s parcels, including corrected and/or new Assessor’s parcels, will be submitted and/or resubmitted to the County Auditor/Controller. The annual assessment amount to be levied and collected for the resubmitted parcel(s) shall be determined per the method of apportionment and assessment rate approved in this Report. Therefore, if a single assessor’s parcel has a status change in development, other land use change, or subdivides into multiple Assessor’s parcels, the assessment amounts applied to each of the new Assessor’s parcels shall be recalculated and applied according to the approved method of apportionment and assessment rate rather than a proportionate share of the original assessment amount.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution Repealing Traffic Resolution No. 2026-008, and Reenacting the Complete, Current Version of the Traffic Resolution Hereby Approving a Multi-Way Stop Control on Pine Street at Cluff Avenue, 140-foot No Parking along Lakewood Elementary School’sParking Lot on Ham Lane, and Converting Angled Parking to Parallel Parking on Washington Street and Sacramento Street BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Multi-Way Stop Control on Pine Street at Cluff Avenue
Traffic control devices, including signs, striping and pavement markings, on City streets are designed, installed and maintained in accordance with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD).
Stop controls such as two-way and multi-way stops are installed to assign right-of-way and not to control speeding. CA-MUTCD identifies certain sets of criteria for stop sign installation so that there is uniformity in the use throughout the state.
Stop control evaluations are based on the following criteria: traffic volume, collision data and the approaching speed on the major street that has higher daily traffic volume. Other considering factors based on engineering judgement are left turn conflicts, vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations with high pedestrian volumes, sight visibility of the conflicting traffic, two collector/through streets with similar design and operating characteristics, equilibrium traffic approach volumes (45%/55%), and unusual intersection geometrics such as intersection offsets and vertical and or horizontal curves.
Public Works staff received requests for a multi-way stop on Pine Street at Cluff Avenue for heavy traffic, speeding and safety concern. Pine Street is an east-west 35 mile per hour (MPH) collector roadway with two travel lanes, bike lanes, and parking lanes. Cluff Avenue is a north-south 35 MPH speed roadway with two travel lanes and parking lanes. Currently, this intersection is a two-way stop control on Cluff Avenue which has less traffic volume than Pine Street, see Exhibit A for intersection location. Within the vicinity of the intersection, there are commercial buildings, residential homes, and a gas station with a food truck. In 2024, the City restricted parking along the Pine Street residential frontage at the northwest corner (1350 E. Pine Street) in effort to address the denied postal service due to heavy parking from the food truck customers.
Staff conducted an evaluation at this intersection based on the CA-MUTCD criteria. This intersection did not City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 3

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Staff conducted an evaluation at this intersection based on the CA-MUTCD criteria. This intersection did not meet the traffic volume and collision data criteria. The high demand of on-street parking from the food truck and commercial deliveries along the uncontrolled Pine Street limits the visibility at the stop-controlled Cluff Street for the oncoming conflicting traffic. (Exhibit A) Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution amending Traffic Resolution No. 2026-008, by approving a multi- way stop control at Pine Street and Cluff Avenue.
140-foot No Parking along Lakewood Elementary School’s Parking Lot on Ham Lane Public Works staff received a request from the Lodi Unified School District to evaluate the on-street parking adjacent to the parking lot of Lakewood Elementary School. Ham Lane is a four-lane roadway between Turner Road and Kirkwood Drive and becomes a two-lane roadway north of Kirkwood Drive. The two northbound lanes merge into one lane along the Lakewood School’sparking lot. The recent Lakewood Elementary School improvements installed the appropriate lane merge striping, pavement markings and signage along this segment of Ham Lane. Unfortunately, the lane merge area cannot accommodate on-street parking where vehicles are parking during pick-up and drop-off periods (Exhibit B).
Staff recommends removing 140 feet of on-street parking on the east side of Ham Lane between the elementary schools’ parking lot driveways (Exhibit B).
Converting Angled Parking to Parallel Parking on Washington Street and Sacramento Street Angled Parking Zones are established at various locations of City streets within the Traffic Resolution. Staff recently received requests to convert angled parking to parallel parking at two locations, Washington Street from Walnut Street north to the alley and Sacramento Street from 115 feet north of De Force Avenue to 170’ north of De Force Avenue. (Exhibit C).
Public Works staff received a concern with the sight visibility on Walnut Street at Washington Street and a request for an all-way stop evaluation to improve visibility. An all-way stop evaluation was completed; however, the intersection did not meet the State guidelines for an all-way stop. As part of the evaluation, staff conducted a sight visibility study. There are currently five angled parking stalls from Walnut Street north to the alley. A site visit confirmed that the angled parking stalls on the west side of Washington Street cause a sight visibility issue to see oncoming southbound motorists. Staff discussed with Janelle Wilkinson, the President of LOEL Senior Center, about the LOEL Senior Center’sprograms/events parking needs with respect to the existing on-site and on-street parking provided and the proposed on-street parking change. She is in support of the angled parking conversation and will provide notification to the members/participants about the change.
By converting the five angled parking spaces to four parallel parking spaces, eastbound motorists will have improved visibility of oncoming southbound traffic.
The business owner of 405 N. Sacramento Street requested that the three angled parking stalls fronting his business to be converted to parallel parking. Staff conduct a site visit and the angled parking not only obstructs the visibility of oncoming northbound traffic at the business’sdriveway, but also obstruct the visibility of the oncoming southbound traffic at the residential driveway immediately to the south (401 N Sacramento Street).
Replacing the three angled parking stalls with two parallel stalls will improve the sight visibility for both 401 and 405 N. Sacramento Street. (Exhibit C)
Staff recommends amending “Section4 - Angle Parking Area”of Traffic Resolution 2026-008 by removing five angled parking and replacing with four parallel parking on Washington Street (west side) from Walnut Street north to the alley, and removing three angled parking and replacing with two parallel parking on Sacramento Street (west side) from 115 feet north of De Force Avenue to 170’ north of De Force Avenue.

AGENDA TITLE:
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 7 to Professional Services Agreement with ICR Refrigeration, Inc., of Lodi, for On-Call Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Services ($40,000) (PW)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026

Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing Interim City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 7 to Professional Services Agreement with ICR Refrigeration, Inc., of Lodi, for On-Call Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Services in an amount not to exceed $40,000
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Public Works Facilities Division has a contract for maintenance and replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems citywide on an as-needed basis. The background of the current contract is described below.
On May 19, 2021, Council authorized the City Manager to execute the Professional Services Agreement with ICR Refrigeration, Inc. in the amount of $500,000. This was based on needing approximately $250,000 per year for citywide maintenance. The original agreement included a two-year term with options for three (3) one- year extensions.
On April 19, 2023, Council authorized Amendment No. 1, which extended the term through June 30, 2024 and increased funding by $250,000 for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $750,000. This increased amount coincided with the extension for Fiscal Year 2023/24.
On December 26, 2023, the City Manager executed Amendment No. 2, which increased funding by $320,000, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,070,000. This amount was added primarily to cover the cost of replacing Police Department AC Unit #3 ($270,000) that after 20+ years of service, had reached its useful life.
ICR was the lowest bidder for AC Unit #3’sreplacement, so that work was added to this contract in order to expedite the unit’s replacement.
On July 30, 2024, the City Manager executed Amendment No. 3, which extended the contract through June 30, 2026. At that time, there was still a portion of the funding still available from Amendment No. 2, so additional funds were not added.
On February 5, 2025, Council authorized Amendment No. 4, which added $100,000 to the contract to allow for services through FY 2024/25.

Accept Poplar Street Sidewalk Improvements at 1230 South Central Avenue (Lodi Academy) and Deem Improvement Deferral Agreement Complete (PW)
MEETING DATE:
June 3, 2026
PREPARED BY:
Sean Nathan, Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept Poplar Street Sidewalk Improvements at 1230 South Central Avenue (Lodi Academy) and deem Improvement Deferral Agreement complete
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 1986, the owner of the property located at 1230 South Central Avenue, Northern California Conference Association of the Seventh-Day Adventists (Lodi Academy), entered into an Improvement Deferral Agreement with the City in order to postpone the installation of required frontage improvements. The deferred improvements consisted of curb, gutter, sidewalk and landscaping along Cherokee Lane and Poplar Street.
This agreement stated that the improvements needed be completed when the adjacent property developed, or by December 31, 2000, whichever occurs first.
Amendment No. 1 to the agreement was executed in January of 1996. This addendum incorporated the Cherokee Lane frontage improvements into the City’sCentral City Revitalization project and assessed the property through the Lodi Central City Revitalization Assessment District. This addendum also extended the deadline for the Poplar Street frontage improvements to December 31, 2010. Due to the economic downturn prior to the deadline, these improvements were not completed.
In 2016, Lodi Academy needed to make repairs to their gymnasium. The repairs were estimated to cost $700,000. In order to help the school spread out the costs of their required frontage improvements, the City agreed to continue to defer the Poplar Street frontage improvements an additional 10 years. Amendment No. 2 was executed in August of 2016, and set a new deadline for the deferred improvements to December 31, 2026, or at the request of the City (whichever occurs first).
On March 18, 2026, Council provided direction to staff to limit the required improvements from the existing deferral agreement to the sidewalk along Poplar Street, with the remaining requirements of the deferral agreement (the curb and gutter along Poplar Street) no-longer being required. These frontage improvements would still be required in the future should the property develop further and/or subdivide, however they are to be removed from the requirements of the existing deferral agreement, and therefore closing out the obligations of the deferral agreement.
Lodi Academy has now completed their Poplar Street sidewalk improvements. A photo of the completed sidewalk is attached as Exhibit A. Based on Council’srecent direction, the Improvement Deferral Agreement City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 2

sidewalk is attached as Exhibit A. Based on Council’srecent direction, the Improvement Deferral Agreement can now be deemed complete.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The only potential long-term costs associated with this item would be if the City determined that the curb and gutter were necessary prior to the property owner developing or subdividing in the future. Staff does not anticipate this being necessary within the next ten (10) years.

PREPARED BY:
Cynthia Marsh, Interim Community Development Director/City Planner RECOMMENDED ACTION:

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) is a long-range visioning, policy, and implementation document prepared pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65450-65457 to guide the future evolution of Downtown Lodi. The DTSP establishes a coordinated vision, land use guidance, mobility concepts, placemaking strategies, and an implementation framework intended to support future policy decisions, reinvestment, and subsequent regulatory updates consistent with the City’s General Plan.
The Specific Plan area generally extends from Lodi Avenue to the south, Lockeford Street to the north, Pleasant Avenue to the west, and Washington Street to the east. The plan area includes the historic downtown core and extends east of the Union Pacific Railroad corridor to Main Street, reflecting the City’s recent expansion of the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) zoning district.
The DTSP was initiated at the direction of the City Council to proactively address the long-term vitality of downtown while building upon the success of the established School Street core. While the historic west side of downtown is largely built out and functioning well, the City identified opportunities to plan more intentionally for areas east of the railroad tracks following expansion of the Downtown Mixed Use zoning district to include Main Street.
A central focus of the DTSP is strengthening connectivity and reinvestment across the broader downtown area through a corridor-focused strategy for Main Street. The railroad corridor has historically created a physical and economic divide within downtown; therefore, the planning process emphasized strategies to improve east- west connections, encourage compatible infill development, enhance the public realm, and evaluate underutilized sites along Main Street and within the DMU area. Coordination with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) was also an important component of the planning effort given the railroad’srole in shaping circulation and development patterns.
The DTSP builds upon and implements goals and policies contained within the City’sGeneral Plan, Housing Element, Environmental Justice Element, and recent Focused General Plan Update by providing a more detailed implementation framework to guide future decision-making over time. The DTSP supports broader City objectives related to economic vitality, multimodal mobility, housing opportunity, public health, City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 1 of 7

placemaking, sustainability, and equitable investment within the downtown area.
The DTSP is not a development project; rather, it is a program-level policy framework intended to guide future discretionary actions, capital improvements, infrastructure planning, mobility enhancements, and private investment within downtown. While the DTSP includes conceptual land use, urban design, mobility, and placemaking guidance, additional regulatory refinements and implementation measures are anticipated to occur over time through future zoning code amendments, objective design standards, infrastructure planning, capital improvement programming, and related City actions. Future implementation actions requiring discretionary approvals, environmental review, funding authorizations, or Municipal Code amendments will return separately for future City Council consideration and approval, as applicable.
The Downtown Specific Plan document is included with this staff report as Attachment 1. Supporting technical studies and outreach summaries prepared as part of the planning process are included as Attachment 2. These materials provide additional detail regarding mobility, economic and financial feasibility, historic resources, railroad coordination and quiet zone feasibility, and community engagement results that informed preparation of the DTSP. The environmental analysis supporting the DTSP is included as Attachment 3, consisting of the Addendum to the certified 2025 Focused General Plan Update Subsequent Environmental Impact Report.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Preparation of the Downtown Specific Plan included an extensive and multi-phased community engagement program designed to inform the Plan’svision, priorities, and implementation strategies. The outreach process began with project kickoff in October 2024 and continued throughout the planning process to ensure ongoing opportunities for public participation and stakeholder input. Outreach efforts included:
• Steering Committee meetings and downtown walking tours with representatives from local stakeholder groups;
• Community workshops and interactive design charrettes; • Multi-day public open houses with presentations and materials provided in both English and Spanish; • Stakeholder, property owner, and business outreach;
• Online questionnaires, surveys, and digital engagement tools; • Planning Commission and City Council study sessions;
• Ongoing project updates through www.PlanLodi.com <http://www.PlanLodi.com>, project email lists, and social media outreach; and
• Public review and comment opportunities on the Draft Downtown Specific Plan and appendices.
Key milestones in the community engagement process included a January 9, 2025 community workshop at the WOW Museum Classroom Building focused on existing conditions and opportunities; a multi-day community open house held February 4-5, 2025 at 22 South Main Street; an additional community open house on April 17, 2025; a Planning Commission study session on April 23, 2025; and a City Council study session on May 7, 2025. Separate open house and Steering Committee meetings were also held on February 17, 2026, to review the Public Review Draft Downtown Specific Plan and gather additional public feedback prior to preparation of the Final Public Hearing Draft. An additional Steering Committee meeting was held on April 13, 2026, to discuss the committee’s ongoing role in plan implementation.
Community input received throughout the planning process emphasized preservation of Downtown Lodi’s historic character, strengthening east-west connectivity across the railroad corridor, enhancing pedestrian mobility and public spaces, supporting economic vitality and reinvestment, encouraging housing opportunities, and improving the Main Street corridor as an extension of downtown. Feedback and comments received during the outreach process were incorporated into the Final Public Hearing Draft of the Downtown Specific Plan.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
On May 13, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing and recommended City Council approval of the Downtown Specific Plan following consideration of staff’s presentation, public testimony, and Commission discussion.
DISCUSSION
The DTSP provides a framework to implement the General Plan vision for a vibrant, walkable downtown.
Specific plans translate high-level policy into actionable standards and implementation strategies, allowing the City to guide growth in a coordinated and predictable manner.
Adoption of the DTSP supports reinvestment within existing urban areas, strengthens economic vitality, and advances mobility and placemaking improvements consistent with City priorities. The plan provides a coordinated framework to guide future investment, revitalization, and placemaking efforts while preserving the character and identity that define Downtown Lodi.
Main Street Corridor Strategy and East-West Connectivity A key focus of the DTSP is the Main Street corridor, which represents a significant opportunity area east of the railroad tracks. The plan identifies strategies to unify downtown by improving east-west connections, enhancing the public realm, and encouraging reinvestment on underutilized sites.
By planning for Main Street as an extension of downtown rather than a separate district, the DTSP supports incremental revitalization while maintaining compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods. Collaboration and ongoing coordination with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) informed mobility, safety, access, and long-term placemaking concepts related to the railroad corridor. The planning process also included analysis of potential railroad quiet zone requirements and related crossing considerations to better understand long-term opportunities and constraints associated with improving downtown connectivity, pedestrian experience, and quality of life adjacent to the railroad corridor.
As part of the DTSP process, the City and its consultant team also engaged in discussions and meetings with UPRR regarding the potential lease or acquisition of UPRR-owned parcels along Main Street. Those discussions remain ongoing. Accordingly, the DTSP evaluates a range of potential future scenarios for the UPRR parcels, including acquisition of limited right-of-way areas associated with the three Main Street- adjacent parcels, potential long-term lease arrangements, and the possibility of future acquisition of the full parcels. The DTSP incorporates conceptual alternatives intended to preserve flexibility as discussions with UPRR continue and future implementation opportunities are evaluated over time.
Sacramento Street and Discovery Plaza
The Downtown Specific Plan addresses Sacramento Street as an important opportunity area for future pedestrian-oriented improvements, public gathering space, museum expansion, and downtown placemaking.
Several concepts and implementation strategies within the DTSP specifically focus on Sacramento Street and its relationship to the World of Wonders (WOW) Science Museum, downtown connectivity, and adjacent businesses.
A key recommendation of the DTSP is the potential creation of “Discovery Plaza” on Sacramento Street between Pine Street and Elm Street. The concept envisions closure or limitation of vehicular traffic along this block to transform the currently underutilized street segment into a vibrant pedestrian-oriented public space that supports community gathering, downtown activity, and future museum expansion opportunities. The DTSP identifies this location as uniquely suited for a pedestrian plaza given the limited direct business frontage, the proximity to the WOW Museum, and the fact that the adjacent parking garage maintains access from Pine City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 3 of 7

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Street and Elm Street rather than Sacramento Street itself.
The DTSP notes that the World of Wonders Science Museum has expressed support for the concept as part of its long-term expansion and activation goals. The proposed plaza is intended to strengthen downtown connectivity, improve walkability, support cultural and educational activities, and encourage greater pedestrian activity and economic interaction within the surrounding downtown area.
In addition to Discovery Plaza, the DTSP includes broader recommendations related to downtown pedestrian improvements, including continued use of temporary street closures for events, expanded outdoor dining opportunities, parklets, pedestrian amenities, landscaping enhancements, and traffic-calming measures intended to support a more walkable downtown environment. Sacramento Street between Elm Street and Locust Street has been identified as a potential area for future outdoor dining and parklet improvements that could complement the proposed Discovery Plaza and further activate the corridor with pedestrian-oriented uses.
The DTSP builds upon prior public infrastructure investments within downtown. Sacramento Street underwent significant streetscape improvements approximately a decade ago utilizing Measure K funding, while School Street received major streetscape enhancements approximately 25 years ago. The DTSP seeks to build upon these earlier public investments by identifying additional opportunities for placemaking, pedestrian improvements, and public realm enhancements throughout the broader downtown area.
As with other conceptual recommendations contained within the DTSP, the Discovery Plaza concept and related Sacramento Street improvements are intended as long-term planning and implementation strategies.
Any future street closures, infrastructure improvements, operational changes, property agreements, funding authorizations, or related implementation measures would require additional analysis, environmental review, design development, public outreach, and separate City Council consideration and approval, as applicable.
Parking, Walkability, and Downtown Accessibility
The DTSP evaluates downtown parking and walkability as interconnected components of a successful and vibrant downtown environment. Consistent with widely accepted urban planning principles, the DTSP recognizes that a comfortable pedestrian walking distance within downtown areas is generally considered to be approximately one-quarter mile. In practical terms, this distance is comparable to the walking distance between the entrance of the Costco store and the Burger King within the Reynolds Ranch shopping center.
Within downtown Lodi, a similar walking distance exists between City Hall and the Downtown Parking Garage.
The DTSP emphasizes that strategically located public parking facilities, including the Downtown Parking Garage, are intended to support downtown businesses, events, dining, entertainment, and future reinvestment opportunities by allowing customers, visitors, and employees to park once and walk between destinations within the downtown core. The plan also recognizes that the most convenient on-street parking spaces located directly adjacent to storefronts are particularly valuable for short-term customer access and business turnover.
During the DTSP process and related public discussions, concerns were raised regarding perceptions of safety associated with the Downtown Parking Garage and pedestrian access routes connecting the garage to surrounding downtown businesses and destinations. Coordination with the Police Department, Public Works Department, downtown stakeholders, and the Downtown Business Association identified several ongoing and potential strategies intended to enhance comfort, visibility, accessibility, and perceptions of safety within the downtown area. These strategies include continued parking enforcement efforts, enhanced lighting, security cameras, transit security presence, proactive police patrols, activation of pedestrian corridors, identification of preferred walking routes, and exploration of operational improvements associated with garage access and visibility.
The DTSP also supports broader placemaking, activation, and public realm improvements intended to City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 4 of 7

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
The DTSP also supports broader placemaking, activation, and public realm improvements intended to encourage increased pedestrian activity throughout downtown, recognizing that active, walkable environments with consistent foot traffic, events, outdoor dining, and activated public spaces can contribute positively to both the perception and reality of downtown safety and vibrancy over time.
Implementation Strategy and Funding Opportunities
The DTSP is structured as an implementation-focused document intended to support long-term reinvestment, infrastructure improvements, placemaking, mobility enhancements, and economic development within Downtown Lodi. In addition to land use and urban design guidance, the plan includes a comprehensive implementation program identifying:
• Grant and funding opportunities for infrastructure, mobility, public realm, and streetscape improvements;
• Public-private partnership strategies;
• Programs to support downtown businesses, housing opportunities, and catalytic redevelopment projects; and
• Phasing strategies intended to prioritize near-term, mid-term, and long-term implementation actions.
The DTSP is also intended to position the City competitively for future State, regional, and local funding opportunities, including programs such as the Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program, Regional Climate Collaboratives (RCC) Program, Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, Active Transportation Program (ATP), San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) funding programs, Measure K transportation funding opportunities, and related infrastructure, sustainability, housing, mobility, and placemaking funding sources. The plan’s focus on multimodal mobility, infill development, downtown revitalization, housing opportunity, public health, climate-supportive land use patterns, and public realm improvements is intended to align with priorities commonly associated with these competitive funding programs and broader regional investment initiatives.
The DTSP aligns with broader regional mobility, climate, and reinvestment planning efforts led by SJCOG, including the San Joaquin Regional Climate Collaborative and the Regional Mobility Hub Plan. Through the Regional Mobility Hub planning effort, SJCOG identified priority locations for future mobility hub investments intended to improve first- and last-mile connectivity, transit access, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, rideshare coordination, and multimodal transportation options throughout San Joaquin County. Lodi was identified as a finalist community within the Regional Mobility Hub planning and implementation process, reflecting the City’sstrategic location, downtown transit connections, and opportunities to improve multimodal connectivity within and around the downtown area.
The DTSP also builds upon recent public and private reinvestment occurring within the downtown area, including the City’srehabilitation of the building at 22 South Main Street for future County-operated supportive housing services. Together, these regional mobility initiatives and local reinvestment efforts reinforce the importance of establishing a coordinated long-range framework to guide future downtown investment, revitalization, infrastructure improvements, housing opportunity, and multimodal connectivity.
This implementation-focused approach ensures that the DTSP functions as an active framework to guide future investment and partnership opportunities rather than a static planning document.
Coordination with the Economic Development Strategic Plan The Downtown Specific Plan is intended to function in coordination with the City’sEconomic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP), which establishes a broader citywide framework for economic vitality, business attraction, workforce development, fiscal sustainability, and long-term economic competitiveness. The EDSP identifies downtown revitalization and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan as important components City of Lodi Printed on 5/29/2026Page 5 of 7

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
identifies downtown revitalization and implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan as important components of the City’s overall economic development strategy.
While the DTSP focuses specifically on land use, mobility, placemaking, public realm improvements, and long- range implementation strategies within the downtown area, the EDSP provides complementary economic development strategies intended to support business growth, investment attraction, tourism, entrepreneurship, and catalytic redevelopment opportunities citywide. Together, the two planning efforts are intended to create a coordinated framework supporting downtown reinvestment, economic resilience, housing opportunity, multimodal connectivity, and enhanced quality of life.
Downtown Lodi is at a pivotal moment. Market conditions, recent policy updates, and the expansion of the Downtown Mixed Use area create new opportunities for reinvestment. Without a coordinated framework, development could occur in a piecemeal manner. Adoption of the DTSP provides a clear policy foundation to guide future projects, support housing and economic development goals, and advance mobility and public realm improvements.
REQUIRED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65454, the City Council must find that the DTSP is consistent with the General Plan. Staff recommends the following findings:
· The Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the Lodi General Plan goals, policies, and implementation measures.
· The DTSP has been prepared in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65450-65457. · The DTSP promotes orderly development, multimodal mobility, economic vitality, and preservation of community character.
· Public hearings and noticing requirements have been satisfied in accordance with State law and City procedures.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The Downtown Specific Plan has been evaluated in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.). The City of Lodi is the Lead Agency pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15051 and 15367.
Environmental review for the Downtown Specific Plan relies on the previously certified 2025 Focused General Plan Update Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and an Addendum prepared for the DTSP.
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, preparation of an Addendum is appropriate where only minor technical changes or additions are necessary and none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR are present. The Addendum concludes that adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan would not result in new significant environmental impacts, would not substantially increase the severity of previously identified impacts, and remains within the scope of analysis contained in the certified EIR.
The Downtown Specific Plan is a program-level planning document intended to guide future discretionary actions. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15152 and 15168, future development projects within the Specific Plan area may tier from the previously certified EIR, allowing subsequent environmental review to focus on project-specific effects not already analyzed. In addition, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and State law implementing SB 743, transportation impacts for future projects will be evaluated using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) standards and the adopted General Plan policies and mitigation framework.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c), the Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review; however, the Addendum has been made available to the public and is included as part of the administrative record for consideration by the City Council.
Accordingly, staff finds that the environmental documentation prepared for the Downtown Specific Plan complies with CEQA and supports consideration of the Specific Plan for adoption.
STAFF CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis presented, staff finds that the Downtown Specific Plan establishes a clear and coordinated framework to guide future land use, mobility, urban design, placemaking, and economic development efforts within Downtown Lodi, and that the plan is consistent with the General Plan, supported by extensive community engagement, and appropriately evaluated under CEQA.
The Downtown Specific Plan establishes a long-range visioning, policy, and implementation framework for Downtown Lodi. While the DTSP includes conceptual land use, urban design, mobility, and placemaking guidance, additional regulatory refinements and implementation measures are anticipated to occur over time through future zoning code amendments, objective design standards, infrastructure planning, capital improvement programming, and related City actions. Future implementation actions, including but not limited to zoning code amendments, infrastructure improvements, funding authorizations, capital projects, development agreements, design standards, mobility improvements, and related implementation measures, may require separate environmental review, discretionary approvals, budget appropriations, or additional City Council consideration and approval, as applicable. Adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan does not itself authorize specific construction projects or funding commitments.
On May 13, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing and recommended City Council approval of the Downtown Specific Plan.
Accordingly, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Downtown Specific Plan.

Chapter 1: Framework
Introduction
1.1 PURPOSE
In 2023, the City of Lodi’s City Council decided to invest in the future of the downtown. A consulting team made up of design and technical experts was retained to develop the Lodi Downtown Specific Plan which provides a community-generated vision, with policies and recommendations that incentivize the revitalization of buildings and community spaces, and infrastructure and implementation strategies that will yield results.
The Specific Plan will set the tone for the community for years to come, not only in terms of creating a sense of place where residents and visitors can live, work and play; but also generate a vital downtown that contributes to the long-term wellbeing of the community. It promotes investment and jobs and identifies housing opportunities with live/work solutions . These improvements will be balanced with the community’s desire to preserve Lodi’s quaint and historic character and capitalize on the success of this food and wine destination. Over time, and through private and public investment, the existing downtown will transform into a cohesive area that bridges both sides of the railroad tracks and result in a thriving, sustainable, and inclusive area that continues to serve as the heart of the community.
Lodi’s City Council Strategic Vision Goal - Downtown
• Realize a lively mixed-use, walkable commercial downtown district
• Expand opportunities for downtown living
• Preserve downtown's historic character
• Ensure accessibility for multi-modal transportation and public safety
• Promote the use of public facilities
• Expand Downtown mixed-use zoning
• Adopt policies that incentivize the revitalization of buildings and infrastructure

1.2 SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
The City of Lodi is easily accessed via major transportation routes including SR-99, which runs north-south connecting Lodi to Sacramento, Stockton, and other Central Valley communities, and SR-12, an east-west arterial linking the city to the North Bay Area, the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, and the Sierra Foothills.
The Specific Plan area is situated west of the Golden State Highway (SR- 99) and is generally located from Lodi Avenue on the south to Lockeford Street and the Softball Complex to the north, and from Pleasant Avenue to the west and Washington Street to the east. The area is bisected by the railroad tracks located between Sacramento Street and Main Street. Within the Specific Plan area, Lodi Avenue and Lockeford Street run east-west and provide connections to and from SR-99 and Elm Street and Pine Street link the residential neighborhoods which are located west and east of the downtown. Church Street and Stockton Street are oriented north-south and provide connections to the residential, industrial, and commercial corridors on Kettleman Lane (SR-12). The downtown blocks are conventionally developed on a grid system and contain existing alleyways situated for parking and delivery access behind businesses. The more precise location and boundaries of the Specific Plan are illustrated in Figure 1.2.

1.4.1 City of Lodi General Plan
The General Plan is the City’s governance document for guiding decision making and outlines the City’s visions and policies. It is meant to guide what gets built where, how the city grows, and how the community’s character, resources (agriculture, open space) and infrastructure are protected and enhanced.
The Lodi Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan and provides additional detail and direction serving as an implementation tool that directly advances the purpose and intent of the City’s General Plan. Essentially, while the General Plan sets the broad vision and policy framework for the whole city, the Specific Plan translates those goals into actionable strategies for a targeted area—downtown in this case.
The next page provides a few ways that this Downtown Specific Plan furthers the General Plan’s intent.
1.4 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANNING
DOCUMENTS
This Specific Plan is designed to implement the goals and policies of the General Plan and the planning documents listed below, and it contains recommendations and implementation measures along with a vision for the future. It provides a development framework that will incentivize future development and private investment within the Downtown Specific Plan area.

1.4.2 City of Lodi Development Code
The Lodi Development Code serves as the city’s primary tool for regulating land use and guiding growth in alignment with the Lodi General Plan. It establishes zoning districts, permitted land uses, and development standards to ensure orderly, safe, and sustainable development. The code promotes a high quality of life by protecting community character, supporting economic and environmental goals, and ensuring that new projects are compatible with their surroundings. It also provides clear procedures for reviewing development proposals, helping maintain consistency, transparency, and fairness in land use decisions.
This Downtown Specific Plan provides detailed recommendations for implementing the community vision and infrastructure guidance for the downtown area. While the Development Code applies generally, the Specific Plan supplements or modifies standards to address the unique characteristics and needs of the downtown area, ensuring that development is both consistent with the General Plan and tailored to the community’s vision for that location. Where the Specific Plan is silent on a topic(s), the Development Code will remain in effect.
1.4.3 Other Related Documents
The following documents were used to inform this Specific Plan; however, for any portions of these plans that fall within the Downtown Specific Plan Area, the design guidelines, policy recommendations, and development standards contained in this Specific Plan shall supersede. Any areas of these documents that lie outside the Downtown Specific Plan boundary will remain in full effect:

Background and Context
2.1 LODI’S REGIONAL SETTING
Lodi is a compact, thoughtfully planned city located in the heart of California’s Central Valley, with a population of approximately 68,752 within a larger regional population of 762,148. Situated 35 miles from downtown Sacramento and 80 miles east of San Francisco, Lodi offers both small-town charm and strong regional connectivity.
Surrounded by fertile agricultural lands, Lodi is an established center of wine production and wine-related tourism, home to over 85 wineries producing more than 135 varietals. The existing downtown and attractive residential neighborhoods provide a welcoming, small-town atmosphere, complemented by distinctive restaurants, breweries, shops, and recreational amenities like Lodi Lake.
Lodi’s economy is diverse, including wine grape cultivation, agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Business-friendly policies, competitive utility rates through city-owned electric, water, and wastewater services, and a skilled local workforce supported by nearby universities contribute to a favorable environment for commercial and industrial growth. With a compact footprint, exceptional regional access, and a blend of historic charm and modern amenities, Lodi serves as both a preferred residential choice in San Joaquin County and a growing hub for employers and entrepreneurs. 340

2.2 DOWNTOWN AREA CONTEXT
Historically, the City of Lodi grew around a central hub of activity that the railroad provided, and the Specific Plan area contains many charming old buildings which speak of the interesting history of the downtown. Main Street was once the hub of activity with a large Japanese quarter, and elements from the past still exist such as the iron rings for tying up horses remain embedded in the sidewalks along Main Street. Lodi has long been a multicultural hub, with a history shaped by successive waves of settlement.
Early Japanese communities established roots downtown, followed by Hispanic residents, and later by Indian Urdu–speaking communities, each contributing to the city’s evolving cultural fabric.
Sacramento Street was a primary roadway at one time and the Transit Station was a vital link to outside towns and cities. The water tower and original fire station were constructed on Main Street and behind it were the first police station, jail, and City Hall. Main Street, Hale Park, and the Softball Complex were once thriving and active areas which drew residents and visitors, but over time they have become vacant or underutilized, and the community would like to see them revitalized with new uses and amenities to better serve the community. Some buildings remain in various states of integrity within the Downtown and have the potential to convey historical significance. While a historic resource inventory was conducted as part of the Specific Plan effort, the City is planning to formulate a historic preservation ordinance in the future.

Today, the residential neighborhoods within and adjacent to the Specific Plan area form an integral part to the area’s overall walkability, identity, and character of the downtown. However, the Union Pacific rail corridor cuts through the downtown and serves as both an economic lifeline and a physical barrier. Over time, the railroad has created a distinct divide within the downtown core—one that is clearly visible in the difference between the areas east and west of the tracks. The rail corridor itself acts as a psychological barrier, discouraging visitors and investors from crossing over despite the area’s proximity to the thriving downtown core.
To the west of the railroad, downtown Lodi flourishes. School Street and its surrounding blocks are alive with energy—boutiques, restaurants, wine tasting rooms, and beautifully maintained streetscapes draw both residents and visitors. School Street has been revitalized with wide sidewalks and decorative paving, and the community has embraced the design and would like to carry some of the elements into other portions of the Specific Plan area. These previous investments in public space, lighting, and pedestrian- friendly design have made the west side of the downtown a destination, reflecting years of careful planning and community pride.
In support of downtown hospitality growth, Hutchins Street Square Conference Center, located west of the Specific Plan area and in walking distance to the downtown, contains performing arts, conference and community center facilities, an indoor pool, and a variety of recreation programs and services for all ages. The venue is owned by the City of Lodi and operated by the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department.
The Conference Center facilities attract national and regional corporate meetings and large events, and the community would like additional hotels and parking structures to better serve this facility and the downtown in general.

To the east of the rail line, however, the story is different. This area faces challenges that stem from years of disinvestment and physical separation.
Vacant parcels and underused buildings dominate the landscape, and the area struggles with issues such as visible homelessness, safety concerns, and a lack of consistent activity. Yet, the potential on the east side of the tracks is undeniable. With its larger parcels, authentic building stock, and connection to downtown’s success, this area is primed for transformation.
With targeted investment such as improved pedestrian crossings, streetscape enhancements, mixed-use development, and support for social services, the east side could evolve into a vibrant extension of downtown.
Reconnecting both sides of the rail corridor offers Lodi the chance to unite its downtown, transforming a long-standing divide into a shared space for growth, connection, and community pride.

2.3 OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN
DOWNTOWN
Lodi’s downtown is brimming with potential,
offering a unique blend of historic charm, cultural
attractions, and modern mobility options. At the
edges of downtown, landmarks like the Water
Tower, Historic Gateway, and the Lodi Transit
Station establish a sense of place. Its walkable
streets invite residents and visitors alike to
explore on foot, creating a vibrant street life
anchored by destinations like the Historic Lodi
Arch, the World of Wonders, and the Science
Museum. These assets lay the groundwork for
a people-centered, low-carbon downtown that
aligns with California’s Transformative Climate
Communities (TCC) goals.
Lodi’s downtown also holds untapped
development potential. Underutilized sites, infill
opportunities, and properties identified in the
2023-2031 Housing Element represent spaces
primed for mixed-use growth. This includes
opportunities for expanding attractions like the
World of Wonders, enhancing green spaces such
as Hale Park, and connecting these areas via a
pedestrian bridge or new gateways that celebrate
the city’s history and identity.
The existing downtown has a pedestrian-friendly
atmosphere created by wide sidewalks, paseos,
and enhanced alleys that serve as connectors
between shops, eateries, and cultural sites.
Paseos provide pedestrian passageways between
buildings, while alleys are traditionally used for
vehicular access and service. Alleys can serve as
secondary pedestrian connections if improved
with lighting, murals, and specialty paving.
345
02 | Setting
2-7
Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Downtown’s mobility network also positions it well for climate-smart improvements. Parking is convenient and accessible, with a centrally located parking structure and multiple surface public parking lots supporting downtown activity. For cyclists, bike lanes and bike routes link key destinations, while a future multi-use trail and new routes further promote sustainable mobility. The potential for parklets along the streets could transform underused spaces into vibrant outdoor social areas, complementing future dining and drinking establishments that may activate these zones.
Transit connections are another strong asset, with existing transit facilities providing options for commuting and tourism, while nearby arterials and rail crossings highlight areas where safety improvements and design interventions could reduce collision hot spots. By transforming the corridor from a barrier into a connector, Lodi can extend economic opportunity and downtown vitality to both sides of the tracks.
Exploring a potential future quiet zone conversion, where enhanced railroad crossing design features enable trains to pass through Downtown without needing to sound their horns except in the case of an emergency, would serve as more than an infrastructure improvement, it’s an opportunity to create a truly unified and inclusive downtown Lodi.
The Fire Department has identified the need for a targeted program to inspect and evaluate existing buildings within the Specific Plan area, many of which predate modern fire and life-safety standards and have not previously undergone comprehensive fire safety review. The methodology for establishing this assessment program shall be directed by the City Fire Department, with the primary goals of protecting life and reducing potential damage to public and private property.
With thoughtful planning, Lodi can leverage its rich assets and transform opportunities into a cohesive, thriving, and accessible downtown. By integrating housing, recreation, transportation, and enhanced public spaces, the city can create a downtown that is both a destination and a community hub, inviting everyone to experience the charm and energy of Lodi. 346

Chapter 3: Community
Engagement Process
3.1 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FOUNDATION
The Lodi Downtown Specific Plan emerged from an open, structured, and inclusive process — grounded in the belief that downtown’s future must be shaped by those who live, work, and invest here. From its inception, the City of Lodi committed to a transparent planning approach guided by City Council direction, broad stakeholder collaboration, and consistent opportunities for public input. The engagement process unfolded in four sequential phases, beginning with discovery and listening. Each phase built upon the one before it — translating public input into shared understanding, refined concepts, and ultimately, a community-driven plan for the future of downtown Lodi. 348
03 | Community

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Early Council Direction
Before the Downtown Specific Plan Request for Proposals (RFP) was even drafted or released, City staff presented to the City Council in November 2023 to seek direction on the project’s scope, objectives, and engagement framework.
The Council discussion was a defining moment, clarifying that the plan must build upon the Lodi General Plan goals and implement the City Council’s Strategic Goals — advancing the City’s vision for economic vitality, housing opportunity, mobility, and quality of life — while remaining rooted in the unique identity and historic character of downtown. This early policy direction established the framework for a transparent and collaborative planning process that placed community engagement at the center of every subsequent phase.
Objectives and Scope
At that meeting, City Council established clear objectives and focus areas for the Downtown Specific Plan, directing staff to translate Council’s policy goals into actionable strategies. Key priorities emphasized: expanding opportunities for downtown living; preserving historic character and scale; improving multimodal access and public safety; enhancing civic spaces and public facilities; and incentivizing reinvestment in existing buildings and infrastructure.
Council also provided explicit direction for the technical scope of work, which staff incorporated into the RFP to ensure implementable results. The RFP called for analysis of infrastructure gaps, parking and transportation linkages, Main Street corridor design, economic market potential, historic resource preservation, CEQA compliance, and clear implementation measures.

Formation of the Steering Committee
As part of its November 2023 direction, City Council authorized formation of an initial Downtown Specific Plan Steering Committee to assist staff in reviewing and refining the RFP prior to its release. This initial committee included representatives from the Lodi Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Alliance, Visit Lodi, City staff, and a City Council member, ensuring balanced input in shaping the project scope and consultant selection process. Following the RFP’s release and evaluation, the committee participated in consultant interviews and unanimously recommended RRM Design Group as the preferred consultant team. In July 2024, City Council approved the contract, including additional funding for RailPros to address coordination with Union Pacific Railroad within the downtown corridor. After contract award, the Steering Committee was expanded to include a broader cross-section of community stakeholders -- developers, business owners, representatives from financial institutions and local banks, nonprofit organizations, and bilingual representatives from the Eastside Heritage District — ensuring that economic, cultural, and equity perspectives were fully integrated into the planning and engagement process. This collaborative foundation set the tone for all subsequent outreach efforts described in the following sections, where each phase built upon Council’s direction and community input to shape a shared, implementable vision for the heart of Lodi. 350

Website and Social Media
To establish a recognizable and accessible project identity, the team launched a project brand and dedicated website at www.PlanLodi.com, which served as the central hub for project updates, event information, and draft materials. The website includes built-in translation tools allowing visitors to view content in the four most spoken languages in Lodi, per U.S. Census data, in addition to English, ensuring inclusivity and broad accessibility.
The City also utilized its established Constant Contact e-mail list of approximately 400 subscribers to distribute e-blasts and announcements, ensuring timely communication with residents, businesses, and stakeholders. Social media posts and digital outreach were coordinated with the City’s Public Information Officer (PIO) to maintain consistent messaging and increase visibility across the community throughout the planning process.
3.2 PHASE ONE – DISCOVERY: LISTENING &
LEARNING
The Discovery Phase served as the foundation for understanding downtown Lodi—its character, challenges, and opportunities. The project team began by immersing themselves in the community through a series of meetings, interviews, and site visits. Conversations with residents, business owners, property owners, and community leaders revealed the unique spirit that defines Lodi’s downtown: its historic charm, its walkable streets, and its close-knit sense of community.
This phase focused on listening. Through early outreach meetings, walking tours, and the review of previous planning documents and economic data, the team identified key issues such as parking availability, mobility connections, building preservation, and opportunities for revitalization. These insights provided a factual and emotional baseline — a clear understanding of what matters most to Lodi’s people and what the Specific Plan needed to achieve.
Steering Committee Meeting #1 and Tour
The first Steering Committee meeting was held on October 8, 2024, at the WOW Classroom Building. This meeting introduced the project team, outlined the role of the Steering Committee, and provided an overview of the purpose and scope of the Specific Plan. Following a presentation and discussion, participants used an interactive questionnaire to share real- time input on key issues facing downtown Lodi.
Afterward, committee members and the project team participated in a walking tour of the Specific Plan area. The tour provided valuable first- hand insight into downtown’s existing conditions, community character, and development opportunities. Participants identified both challenges and “big ideas” that would guide subsequent phases of the planning process. 351

3.3 PHASE TWO – FOUNDATION:
BUILDING SHARED
UNDERSTANDING
In the Foundation Phase, the community’s input
began to take shape as the team translated initial
findings into guiding principles and strategies.
A central focus of this stage was exploring what
makes Lodi truly unique—its cultural heritage,
regionally significant wine industry, historic
architecture, and local entrepreneurship.
Through workshops, questionnaires, and focus
groups the participants were invited to articulate
their hopes for the future of downtown. The
outreach revealed a collective desire to balance
growth with preservation—to maintain the
small-town authenticity that defines Lodi while
providing additional opportunities for housing,
improving amenities, pedestrian experiences,
and economic vitality.
The team used these conversations to inform a
series of foundational reports and analyses, which
set the stage for policy development. This phase
established not only technical groundwork but
also a shared understanding of the community’s
priorities, ensuring that the next steps reflected
Lodi’s distinctive values and aspirations.
Engagement during this phase emphasized both
in-person and online participation to reach as
many residents and stakeholders as possible.
Many of the specific activities are described on
the following pages.

Community Questionnaire
An interactive online questionnaire was developed and made available for several months and at a series of community engagement events.
The questionnaire was accessible via mobile phones and computers and participants were invited to share their thoughts on downtown Lodi’s strengths, challenges, and future goals. The questionnaire captured both quantitative and qualitative input, allowing participants to see collective responses in real time. To ensure accessibility, the questionnaire was available in English and Spanish, and paper copies were provided at all in- person events. Business cards with a link to the online questionnaire were also distributed to encourage broad community participation.
Steering Committee Meeting #2
The team shared findings from the existing conditions analysis at a second Steering Committee meeting held on January 9, 2025, at the WOW Classroom Building. Committee members were invited to share their thoughts and were engaged utilizing the community questionnaire, offering early insights into key opportunities and constraints within the downtown area.
Community Workshop
Immediately following the Steering Committee meeting, the City hosted a Community Workshop that invited the broader public to engage directly with the project team. The workshop presentation summarized findings from the initial research and existing conditions analysis and was followed by a lively question and answer session. Participants shared ideas, asked questions, and voiced priorities for downtown’s future. Attendees also participated in the community questionnaire, where results appeared instantly on-screen, sparking interactive discussion and learning among participants. All materials were provided in both English and Spanish to ensure inclusivity.

3.4 PHASE THREE – SPECIFIC PLAN
DEVELOPMENT: REFINING
THE VISION
Building on the foundation of community insight,
the third phase transitioned from exploration
to refinement and consensus-building. During
this stage, the team and community worked
collaboratively to refine conceptual ideas,
evaluate design alternatives, and build consensus
on the future direction of downtown Lodi. Public
workshops, stakeholder roundtables, online
engagement tools, and a multi-day charrette
invited residents to react to draft ideas and
visuals. These outreach activities allowed
community members to see their earlier input
reflected in tangible proposals and to help fine-
tune the Specific Plan’s direction.
3.4.1 Multi-Day Charrette
A major milestone in the Downtown Specific Plan
process was the two-day Visioning Charrette,
held on February 4–5, 2025, at 22 South Main
Street. This intensive, hands-on event brought
together the community, City staff, and the
consultant team—including urban planners,
landscape architects, architects, traffic engineers,
rail experts, and economists—in a collaborative,
transparent environment to collectively imagine
the future of downtown Lodi.

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
The Charrette was designed to be welcoming and interactive, accommodating both drop-in visitors and focused participants throughout the two days. The space at 22 South Main Street was transformed into themed rooms, each providing a unique window into the planning process. The open studio format allowed participants to witness the planning process in real time, contribute ideas, and engage directly with experts and decision-makers. This format fostered a shared ownership of the plan’s direction and created a sense of excitement and momentum for downtown’s future. Presentations and discussions were conducted in both English and Spanish, and the venue remained open after the event so residents could continue to learn about and contribute to the Specific Plan effort.
A large aerial map of the downtown area allowed attendees to post notes, sketches, and comments directly onto key sites, and the City also provided an oversized TV screen displaying an aerial flyover of the plan area to help participants visualize existing conditions and opportunities. During the Charrette, the consultant team produced live conceptual drawings and diagrams reflecting public ideas. These visualizations—ranging from street design cross-sections to park and gateway concepts—were discussed, refined, and improved with continuous community feedback. Additionally, an interactive questionnaire provided anonymous opportunities for participants to vote on design options and share opinions about the downtown.
The Visioning Charrette represented more than a single outreach event—it was the heart of the community engagement process. Its value lay in its ability to blend technical expertise with community insight, allowing all participants to learn from one another and to see the physical implications of their ideas unfold immediately.

Key Benefits and Outcomes of the Charrette Included:
Collaborative Problem Solving
By bringing together professionals from multiple disciplines—urban design, traffic engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, and economics— the Charrette enabled real-time coordination between experts and the public.
This cross-disciplinary exchange allowed complex issues like circulation, parking, economic vitality, and placemaking to be addressed holistically rather than in isolation.
Transparent and Accessible Planning
The open-studio format demystified the planning process. Residents could observe planners sketching concepts, discuss trade-offs, and see how feedback shaped emerging ideas. This transparency helped to build trust and strengthened the connection between the public and the planning team.
Real-Time Design Exploration
Ideas generated by participants were immediately tested and visualized through on-site sketches, conceptual renderings, and maps. This iterative process allowed for immediate feedback, turning abstract community goals into tangible design concepts that everyone could react to and refine.
Intensive and Efficient Engagement
The compressed, two-day schedule concentrated energy and attention, producing significant progress in a short time. This efficiency allowed the project team to advance design concepts while maintaining the excitement and momentum generated by direct community involvement.
Shared Learning and Vision Building
The event became a community learning opportunity where residents gained insight into planning principles and trade-offs, while planners and designers gained deeper understanding of local culture, priorities, and lived experiences. The resulting dialogue helped align technical solutions with community values.

Key Outcomes and Influence on the
Specific Plan
The two days of immersive collaboration generated
a wealth of ideas and clear community direction.
Working side-by-side, residents, City staff, and the
consultant team developed conceptual designs for
several high-priority focus areas, including:
• Hale Park activation and improvement
• Main Street streetscape enhancement and
pedestrian experience
• Railroad corridor and historic water tower area
revitalization
These community-driven concepts became
the building blocks of the Downtown Specific
Plan, shaping its land use framework, mobility
strategies, and public realm design guidelines.
The Charrette stands as a model for interactive,
transparent, and community-driven planning.
By combining the knowledge of technical experts
with the lived experience of the community, the
Charrette bridged the gap between professional
analysis and public aspiration.
Just as importantly, the Charrette reinforced
a shared sense of pride and partnership among
all participants. It demonstrated that downtown
Lodi’s future is not being imposed from the
outside—it is being co-created by the people who
live, work, and invest there.

3.5 PHASE FOUR – PLAN ADOPTION:
CELEBRATING AND COMMITTING TO THE VISION
The final phase marked both a celebration and a commitment to the community vision – the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan and the associated CEQA findings. The public meetings and an open house provided opportunities for community members to revisit the Plan’s journey, from discovery to adoption, and to affirm the shared vision that had emerged.
The open house featured visual displays and opportunities for one-on-one discussions with project staff and consultants. Participants offered final feedback and expressions of support, while the City Council’s review ensured the Specific Plan’s alignment with broader citywide goals.
3.6 A LIVING DIALOG
The resulting Specific Plan is not just a technical document—it is an intentional effort to honor and extend the character that has long defined the heart of Downtown, particularly along School Street, where the 1990s-era improvements created the brick streets, mature tree canopy, diagonal parking, and walkable charm that residents and visitors value today.
That established sense of place, however, is largely confined to a single corridor. The Plan seeks to broaden that vibrancy across the entire downtown, reconnecting the east and west sides long divided by the railroad and embracing the cultural diversity that exists on both sides. In doing so, it lays the groundwork for a more unified, inclusive, and livable downtown, including new housing opportunities essential to sustaining a thriving urban center. Ultimately, the Specific Plan serves as both a roadmap for future development and a collective vision shaped by the community it is designed to serve. 361

Vision and Concepts
4.1 THE COMMUNITY’S VISION
Through the collaborative community engagement process described in Chapter 3, residents and stakeholders shared a clear and consistent vision for downtown Lodi—one that honors what already works, reconnects what has long been divided, and elevates the entire district. The community emphasized the importance of preserving the successes of School Street, including its long-standing street fairs, farmers’ markets, holiday light parades, and the walkable charm that has made it the city’s signature gathering place. At the same time, there is a strong desire to extend that vibrancy across the whole downtown, particularly by better linking the east and west sides that have historically been separated by the railroad. The community’s vision is clear: downtown Lodi should be connected, safe, vibrant, and inclusive, blending historic character with modern amenities and offering housing, public spaces, and experiences that draw people to live, work, and gather. With thoughtful investment, strategic enhancements, and community-centered planning as described below, downtown can continue to grow as the unified heart of Lodi for generations to come. 363

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Celebrating Community and Family Life
The vision emphasizes a downtown for people of all ages and abilities. Family-oriented destinations, cultural institutions, and community programming are key to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy the vibrancy of downtown.
Residents see these elements as essential to preserving Lodi’s identity, creating lively social spaces, and ensuring downtown remains a place the community can take pride in.
A Downtown That Thrives
The community emphasized the importance of sustaining and building upon the long-standing success of School Street while extending that same level of vitality throughout the broader downtown. Residents were clear that the elements that make School Street thrive—its active storefronts, community events, outdoor dining, and walkable character—should inform improvements across the district. Beautification, thoughtful enhancements, and strategic investment were seen as essential to supporting local businesses, encouraging all-day activity, and creating a welcoming environment for all.
Outdoor dining, parklets, and well-designed public spaces were repeatedly highlighted as effective ways to bring life and energy to the streets. At the same time, iconic landmarks such as the Lodi Arch, Carnegie Library, the historic City Hall/civic campus, the Transit Station, and the water tower were recognized as anchors of community identity—symbols of pride and history that should be preserved and complemented as downtown continues to evolve. 364

Connected and Accessible Spaces
Residents want downtown to be easily navigable, safe, and inviting.
Ideas included improving pedestrian and bicycle networks, enhancing crossings over the railroad, and providing stronger connections to destinations like the Softball Complex and Hale Park. A centrally located pedestrian bridge connecting east and west downtown was suggested to make movement seamless for everyone.
Smart Growth and Redevelopment
The community expressed strong support for transforming underutilized parcels into productive, active spaces that contribute to a more complete and vibrant downtown. Opportunity and catalyst sites were identified not only through community input but also through financial analysis and recommendations prepared by a real estate economist, ensuring that redevelopment concepts are both visionary and economically grounded. Additional housing, hotel and hospitality options, and the redevelopment of key opportunity sites—including those that could support the expansion of the WOW Science Museum and the Fire Station Museum—were viewed as important catalysts for attracting new activity and investment. These ideas build on the momentum of ongoing projects and reflect the community’s desire for thoughtful, sustainable growth that strengthens downtown as a destination.

Safe, Welcoming, and Engaging
Public Spaces
Safety and accessibility emerged as central themes,
particularly in areas where residents experience
higher levels of crime or perceive legitimate safety
concerns. Alleys and paseos were repeatedly
identified as places where poor lighting, clutter, and
inconsistent maintenance contribute to discomfort
and limit their use. The community envisions
well-lit, clean, and actively managed pedestrian
connections—with consolidated trash enclosures,
clear sightlines, and public art—to create spaces
that feel genuinely safe and inviting.
Hale Park also surfaced as an area needing focused
attention. While it is a valued neighborhood open
space, residents noted that inadequate lighting,
limited activation, and surrounding conditions
can make the park feel unsafe, especially in the
evening. The vision calls for improvements such
as new amenities, intentional programming, better
lighting, and additional adjacent housing to bring
more “eyes on the park,” strengthen community
presence, and support a safer, more welcoming
environment.
Central parking structures and lots were recognized
as important community assets, but many residents
noted they avoid using the existing parking garage
because they do not feel safe there. Improving
lighting, visibility, maintenance, and activation
around these facilities is seen as essential to ensuring they function as intended and better support
downtown’s overall accessibility and vitality

4.2 ENHANCED SCHOOL STREET AND WEST DOWNTOWN
The recommended improvements for the west side of downtown Lodi build upon its existing success by refreshing and enhancing the area’s vibrant character and pedestrian appeal. The plan focuses on strengthening downtown’s identity through upgraded gateway monuments, cohesive wayfinding signage, and unified branding elements. Streetscape enhancements—including paseo and alley improvements, “twinkle” lighting year-round, accent landscaping, public art, and upgraded furnishings—will refresh the look and feel while promoting safety and walkability. Expanded outdoor dining, improved plazas, and paseos will create more welcoming spaces for gathering, events, and everyday activity. Specific recommendations and concepts are described and illustrated in Chapter 6, Urban Fabric. Overall, these updates refine and celebrate what already makes downtown Lodi special— enhancing its sense of place, cultural vitality, and pedestrian-friendly charm. 367

4.3 HALE PARK PROMENADE
The vision for the Hale Park Promenade transforms the single block of alley west of Hale Park into a vibrant, walkable pedestrian corridor that provides a safe and seamless connection between the park and Main Street adjacent to the future Fire Station Museum. Although only one block in length, the Promenade plays an outsized role in improving local walkability, supporting low-carbon mobility, and strengthening neighborhood access to key community destinations—important considerations for climate-resilient, people-focused design.
Lined with mixed-use development that brings new activity to the east side, the Promenade will offer a sensory-rich, pedestrian-first environment with native landscaping, shaded seating, inviting gathering spots, and high-efficiency lighting to enhance safety and visibility. The use of natural materials, drought-tolerant plantings, and stormwater-friendly features contributes to reduced heat-island effects and improved environmental performance.
Cohesive design elements, framed views into Hale Park, and undergrounded utilities create a comfortable, attractive, and inclusive public realm. By elevating safety, supporting active mobility—even within a short distance—and encouraging year- round community use, the Hale Park Promenade becomes
a meaningful neighborhood connector and a welcoming
destination that unites history, culture, and everyday life.

4.4 HALE PARK UPDATE
The vision for an updated Hale Park is to create a vibrant, inclusive destination that celebrates community, culture, and connection—transforming the City’s oldest park and a downtown asset into a lively and welcoming hub. Designed for both leisure and community, it will house a new amphitheater and will host programmed activities and events, celebrate the area’s multicultural and Hispanic heritage, and provide ample space for gathering and social interaction. The park will blend recreation, relaxation, and social gathering through features like soccer fields, a pavilion with stage-viewing areas, walking loops, and natural play spaces. By preserving mature trees, improving amenities, and thoughtfully addressing parking and utilities, Hale Park will offer a safe, active, and engaging environment that draws people together and revitalizes the heart of the community.
The conceptual plan for Hale Park demonstrates how these elements could be incorporated:
• Soccer and field sports
• New pavilion for events and picnics
• Stage viewing areas
• Walking trail loop with picnic areas
• Preserving mature trees where possible
• Parking 90 degrees along the edge of the park to maximize park space
• Maintaining the existing restroom
• Resurface existing sports courts or replace
• Swings and natural play spaces
• Undergrounding overhead powerlines

4.5 REIMAGINED
EASTSIDE
The areas east of the railroad
tracks hold immense promise—
an untapped canvas ready to
be transformed into a vibrant
extension of the downtown.
With thoughtful reinvestment
and strategic infill development
including new higher density
housing, these underutilized
and vacant sites can evolve
into dynamic, mixed-use
neighborhoods that bring new
life to the east side. Catalytic
projects like the restoration of
the historic Fire Station Museum,
pedestrian promenade and paseo
connections between blocks, and
linking to a renovated Hale Park
will infuse the east side with
energy and charm. A new multi-
use trail connecting Lodi Avenue
to the Softball Complex will weave
together neighborhoods, parks,
and destinations and link people
to the places they love.

4.5.1 Union Pacific Railroad Sites Revitalization
The future of the Main Street parcels remains uncertain due to Union Pacific Railroad’s (UPRR’s) ongoing control and ownership of the land; however, several pathways are envisioned to guide progress as opportunities arise.
Each of these scenarios would be most successful with the purchase of just enough of the UPRR parcels to create an opportunity for a consistent Main Street right-of-way widened to a consistent 80 feet between Elm Street to Walnut Street (Figure 4.9). This acquisition would make it feasible to improve Main Street with widened sidewalks and parallel parking on both side of the road, two travel lanes, and a multi-use separated bikeway on one side of the street linking from Lodi Avenue on the south to the Softball Complex on the north. The new Main Street right-of-way would be enhanced with decorative paving in the parking areas, street trees and landscaped parkways, light poles with banners, and placemaking elements and furnishings described in Chapter 6.
In the short term, while UPRR maintains ownership, temporary and low- impact uses such as a food truck plaza could activate the corridor and provide an exciting destination and lively atmosphere. In the midterm, with a secured easement from UPRR, Main Street could be transformed through streetscape enhancements, widened sidewalks, and multi-modal connections that support commercial and mixed-use development along the frontage. Ultimately, in the long term, if the City acquires the UPRR parcels, the area could evolve into a vibrant mixed-use district with new housing, enhanced landscaping, a beautiful and highly utilized multi-use path, and expanded public amenities—realizing the full potential of Main Street as a place for people to live, gather, and thrive.

4.5.2 Short-term Vision (UPRR Maintained Ownership)
While many of the large vacant parcels along Main Street remain under the ownership of UPRR, this unique challenge presents an equally unique opportunity: to spark momentum through creative, low-impact, and cost-effective interim solutions that breathe life into the corridor while paving the way for long-term transformation. The short-term vision for Main Street while the railroad parcels along Main Street are owned by UPRR should include temporary uses to activate the east side, such as a food truck area. Rather than waiting for property acquisition or lease agreements to unfold, we can begin to shape the future now—with vibrant, temporary uses that invite community utilization and activate the space. Imagine a lively food truck plaza where neighbors gather, visitors explore, and local flavors shine. These early steps, though modest, lay the groundwork for a thriving destination.

4.5.4 Long-term Vision (UPRR Acquisition)
Though UPRR currently restricts development and permanent improvements on its properties, this limitation does not diminish the potential that lies ahead. Instead, it invites us to dream boldly and plan wisely—because when the City is able to acquire this land, a vibrant and transformative future awaits. Imagine Main Street revitalized as a place where people live, gather, and thrive.
The long-term vision for Main Street, when the railroad property is purchased, is the completion of the right-of-way with angled parking and wider sidewalks to transform the street into a vibrant, bustling place where enjoy a more walkable and safer experience. This scenario also increases the available building footprint on the west side of the street and provides an opportunity for multi-story multifamily residential and mixed-use housing.
In this scenario buildings are located and front onto Main Street and parking is located behind the buildings to create a buffer from the tracks and to enliven the Main Street corridor.
The vision calls for transforming the railroad-edge corridor into a climate-resilient greenway that delivers safe, low-carbon mobility choices and meaningful public health benefits for Lodi residents. The project proposes a new off-street multi-use trail extending from Lodi Avenue on the south to the Softball Complex on the north, replacing the existing on-street, separated bikeway with a protected, family-friendly route that serves both daily transportation needs and recreational use. This off-street facility would provide a critical north–south spine in the City’s active transportation network, linking access to jobs, schools, parks, and key community destinations.

A continuous native tree canopy is envisioned along the corridor, reducing heat-island conditions, improving air quality, supporting urban habitat, and providing shaded relief during extreme heat events—an increasingly important adaptation strategy for vulnerable residents. The trail design incorporates climate-smart landscaping with drought-tolerant, pollinator- supportive species and stormwater features that capture and infiltrate runoff.
Pedestrian-oriented amenities such as benches, shaded rest areas, hydration stations, and ADA-accessible path design ensure that the corridor serves people of all ages and abilities, including seniors, children, and residents who rely on walking or biking for transportation. Clear wayfinding will strengthen first-/last-mile connections to transit, helping reduce vehicle miles traveled and improving mobility options for low-income households.
Integrated public art—developed through a future, dedicated community engagement process—will highlight local culture, history, and environmental themes, reinforcing the greenway as both a mobility corridor and a civic asset. Energy-efficient lighting will enhance safety along the route while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere at dusk and in early morning hours.
Strategic nodes along the trail, including pocket plazas and overlook points, create opportunities for small community gatherings, youth programming, outdoor fitness, and cultural events. These spaces promote social cohesion and give residents safe, attractive places to meet, rest, and connect.
Overall, the Rail Corridor Greenway is designed as more than a pathway—it is a transformative public space that improves safety, expands equitable mobility, reduces emissions, enhances resilience to climate impacts, and strengthens community identity. It positions the corridor as a cornerstone project for Lodi’s Transformative Climate Communities strategy.

5.3 LAND USE REGULATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Downtown Lodi is envisioned to continue and expand as a thriving downtown environment that focuses on the pedestrian experience by providing outdoor dining, retail shops, and community serving uses on the street level. While the Specific Plan area zoning will remain, a couple of amendments are recommended to the City of Lodi Municipal Code Title 17: Zoning to further the intent and vision for the area. The first revision includes refined allowable land uses within the Downtown Mixed Use Zoning District. To accommodate this approach, two DMU subareas are established including Subarea A (School Street Core) and Subarea B (Main Street Core). These changes are illustrated as part of Figure 5.1 – Specific Plan Zoning with Subareas and modifications of uses have been integrated into Table 2-8 Mixed Use—Allowed Uses and Permit contained within 17.22.030 Mixed use zoning districts land uses and permit requirements.
In addition, the City may wish to amend Sections 17.22.050 - Downtown Mixed Use Design Guidelines. Section D. Design Guidelines and 17.18.050 - Residential Design Guidelines Section F. Multi-Family and Clustered Housing Design to integrate Objective Design Standards. Objective Design Standards allow for streamlined processing by removing subjectivity when reviewing future development applications. They provide the public, building and design professionals, and review authorities with objective criteria for eligible residential and mixed-use development. The intent is to provide clear design direction that enhances an area’s unique character and sense of place, respects existing neighborhood compatibility and privacy, and ensures a high-quality living environment.
5.2 EXISTING LAND USE
Lodi’s downtown area contains a blend of commercial, office, public, and higher-density residential uses. Ground-floor retail and dining are required in key areas to support a lively, walkable environment. Buildings up to six stories, with a maximum FAR of 3.0, are allowed and projects are not required to provide on-site parking. The Specific Plan encourages redevelopment of underused properties, supports housing and hotel uses to boost downtown activity, and limits outward growth onto farmland while aiming to enhance downtown’s vibrancy while maintaining its character. Improved streetscapes, site rehabilitation, and wayfinding will better link Main Street, Stockton Street, and Pine Street to Hale Park, will reinforce downtown as Lodi’s active civic and economic hub and expand its reach across the railroad tracks to strengthen connections while preserving the eastside neighborhood’s distinct character.
The Specific Plan area primarily has an existing General Plan and zoning designations of Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) with several areas zoned PQP (Public Quasi Public) accommodating public uses (city hall, police and fire departments and library). In addition, there are the land use designations of MCO (Mixed Use Corridor) and High Density Residential (RHD) along Washington Street, and three areas designated as Open Space (Hale Park, Softball Complex, and Armory Park). Existing zoning designations are shown on Figure 5.1 – Specific Plan Zoning with Subareas.

DMU Subarea A (School Street Core)
The School Street Core is focused on School Street and is envisioned to maintain its existing successful shopping and restaurant focused atmosphere and be enhanced with additional pedestrian elements and activities for all ages. This area has the potential for smaller infill projects and the incorporation of complementary uses to provide additional activity and vitality because the area is largely built out and functioning well.
While mixed-use development with residential uses is allowed, standalone residential is not permitted. Storefronts are required along School Street.
Hotel uses are desired and are allowed uses no longer requiring use permits.
Land uses are regulated by Lodi Development Code Section 17.22.30 in Table 2-8 with accompanying footnotes.
DMU Subarea B (Main Street Core)
The Main Street Core is envisioned to complement and serve as an extension of the existing downtown with opportunities for infill development providing much needed housing and a revitalized Main Street corridor.
Hale Promenade will serve as an activated pedestrian link to Hale Park which will be enhanced to serve as a neighborhood asset and focal point for future housing. Underutilized railroad-adjacent properties, currently under UPRR ownership, are ripe for beautification, temporary uses or, with a transition of ownership, future development. The traditional character of Main Street will influence new and updated developments. Land uses are regulated by Lodi Development Code Section 17.22.30 in Table 2-8 with accompanying footnotes.
While much of the Specific Plan will be guided by existing zoning, updated Lodi Development Code Chapter 17.22 Mixed Use Zoning Districts establishes allowable land uses, building form, and site development standards, such as height, setbacks, and objective design standards to regulate existing and future development.

5.4 DOWNTOWN DENSITY TRANSFER PROGRAM
Purpose and Intent
The Downtown Density Transfer Program provides a structured mechanism to reallocate permitted residential or nonresidential development intensity among properties within the Downtown Specific Plan area. The program is intended to support adaptive reuse, historic preservation, catalytic infill, and market responsiveness while maintaining the overall development capacity assumed in the General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan environmental analysis.
Applicability
Density transfers are permitted only within the boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan and shall not increase the total number of dwelling units or nonresidential intensity authorized by the General Plan or Downtown Specific Plan. Transfers may occur between sending and receiving sites where doing so advances downtown revitalization goals without creating new or intensified impacts.
Within the Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) designation, allowable residential densities range from 8 to 35 dwelling units per acre. Density transfers shall remain within this established range and shall not result in densities that exceed the maximum permitted for the receiving site.
387
05 | Built Environment
5-5
Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Approved development transfers will be tracked and monitored by the Community Development Department to ensure the total dwelling unit and nonresidential square footage maximums are not exceeded for the Specific Plan area.
Density transfers shall take place in accordance with the following procedures:
• Application Submission: The property owner or developer must submit a formal application for a development transfer to the Community Development Department. A request for a development transfer shall be accompanied by an exhibit showing the locations of the development changes, and such other information as deemed necessary by the Community Development Director. • Consistency with General Plan : The proposed transfer must maintain the overall maximum dwelling units and be consistent with the General Plan and the boundaries specified in the Specific Plan.
• Administrative Approval (Minor Transfers) : Minor development transfers not exceeding 10% of the residential or nonresidential development intensity may be approved administratively by the Community Development Director, especially if the product types are similar and vested property interests are not significantly affected. The Community Development Director may refer the application to the Planning Commission for a public hearing if the proposed transfer is significant or complex.
• Planning Commission Review (Major Transfers/Discretionary Review): For development transfer requests exceeding 10% of the residential or nonresidential development intensity, the Community Development Director will refer the application to the Planning Commission for a public hearing. • Environmental Review: Development transfers may be subject to a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) conformity review to ensure alignment with the environmental documentation for Specific Plan.
• Deed Restrictions/Conditions: The sending and receiving parcels may be subject to deed restrictions to document the transfer and to ensure continued adherence to planning goals, such as affordable housing requirements, if applicable.
• Ownership Requirements: As determined by the Community Development Director, development transfers may require both the sending and receiving sites to be under the same ownership at the time of the transfer application. 388

Chapter 6: Urban Fabric
Placemaking and Beautification
6.1 INTRODUCTION
Placemaking and beautification involve transforming public spaces to enhance quality of life, strengthen community well-being, and highlight the unique features that give a place its identity. Effective placemaking preserves and celebrates a community’s cultural fabric by incorporating local history, art, and traditions into the design of streets, parks, and public areas—fostering pride, reinforcing residents’ connection to place, and supporting inclusive, community-driven investment.
This chapter outlines recommendations for improving the streetscape within the public right-of-way to create a more pedestrian-friendly, healthy, and climate-resilient environment. By reducing the visual and physical dominance of the roadway, the plan promotes safer, more comfortable walking and biking conditions, helping lower transportation emissions and improving access for residents of all ages and abilities. Distinctively designed signage, cohesive streetscape elements, and thoughtfully located public art—developed through a separate community engagement process—work together to establish a welcoming identity for downtown Lodi. These improvements help cultivate a stronger sense of community, support walkable neighborhoods, and create public spaces that invite everyday use, social connection, and long-term stewardship. 390

6.2 GATEWAYS AND WAYFINDING
Gateway treatments, wayfinding and directional signage, a cohesive downtown logo, and the use of a distinctive color palette will work together to establish a strong and memorable identity for the downtown area. These design elements will announce and define the district as a vibrant and special destination within the City.
The gateway and wayfinding signage system will serve as a clear and consistent visual language—one that reflects the unique character of downtown while guiding residents and visitors alike to key destinations. Through the use of universally understood symbols, intuitive graphics, and cohesive design elements, the system will enhance navigation, strengthen place identity, and create a welcoming and easily recognizable sense of arrival. 391

6.2.1 Branding and Marketing
Brand and market the downtown to create a distinct identity and establish unity throughout the Specific Plan area to promote the downtown and attract investment. A logo and/ or themed sign program should be developed, and it should be repeated throughout the Specific Plan area to reinforce the unique identity of the downtown.
6.2.2 Gateway Monuments
Gateway monuments serve as distinctive markers that define primary entrances into key areas. Within the Specific Plan area, two existing monuments—one located at Lodi Avenue and School Street, and another at Pine Street near Sacramento Street—clearly establish the main gateways into downtown.
To strengthen their visual impact and sense of arrival, enhancements such as decorative intersection paving, upgraded landscaping, and improved lighting should be considered. In addition, three new secondary gateways are recommended at select locations. These secondary gateways should complement the existing monuments by incorporating similar materials, colors, and design elements, while remaining more modest in scale and detail to maintain a clear hierarchy between primary and secondary entrances:
• Main Street at Lodi Avenue
• Lockeford Street at Washington Street
• School Street at Lockeford Street

6.2.3 Wayfinding Directional Signage
An expanded and cohesive wayfinding program should be implemented throughout downtown streets, plazas, parks, and paseos to help pedestrians easily navigate and connect to key destinations. Existing wayfinding kiosks along School Street serve as useful models and should either be replaced with updated designs or replicated across the broader downtown area to create a consistent, intuitive, and visually unified pedestrian experience.
The wayfinding signs should include the following:
• Electrical changeable content
• Easily modified list or graphics of upcoming events and activities • Enhancing kiosks with music at key locations will add to the ambiance of downtown
6.2.4 Banners
Light pole banners enhance the downtown’s identity by adding color and visual appeal while promoting events and community pride. They help define districts, support city branding, and create a welcoming atmosphere that attracts visitors and boosts economic activity. Cost-effective and easy to update seasonally, banners offer a flexible way to beautify streets, celebrate local culture, and strengthen the connection between residents and their downtown.

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
6.3.1 Street Trees and Accent Landscaping
Street trees, accent flowering trees, and additional landscaping—whether through shrubs, planters, or seasonal flowers—add scale, shade, and comfort while strengthening downtown’s visual identity. These improvements not only enhance aesthetics but also advance climate-resilience goals by reducing heat-island effects, improving air quality, and creating more comfortable pedestrian conditions during extreme heat events. A cohesive palette of low-water, easy-to-maintain street trees and landscaping within the public right-of-way helps define a unified Specific Plan Area, reinforces equitable access to green space, and accentuates the distinctive character of downtown Lodi.
• Provide planters in various sizes within pedestrian areas such as sidewalks, paseos, and plazas
• Incorporate drought tolerant and low maintenance vegetation • Provide additional variety of street trees and build on the existing tree palette
• Locate accent, flowering deciduous trees and a mix of flowering accent shrubs and groundcovers at public gathering areas and intersections • Provide canopy, shade evergreen trees along the streets to provide a more comfortable walking environment
• Evenly space street trees to provide a uniform appearance and fill in any existing gaps
• Allow room for street trees to grow, with sufficient space in planters for large trees
• Provide irrigation to planters when possible

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
6.3.2 Pedestrian Amenities
Public amenities such as benches, trash cans, bike racks, tree grates, and decorative paving play a vital role in enhancing the functionality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal of a downtown environment. These elements support walkability and active mobility, encourage people to linger and engage with local businesses, and contribute to healthier, low-carbon transportation choices—key themes in creating climate-resilient, community-centered neighborhoods.
School Street and its surroundings already include green streetscape furnishings that reflect Lodi’s established aesthetic, and these amenities should continue to be expanded throughout downtown as they help create a vibrant, livable, and economically resilient urban core. An important opportunity exists to enhance and celebrate the unique character east of the rail corridor, where streetscape amenities are currently limited.
Providing similar furnishings—finished in a distinctive color—will offer equitable access to high-quality public spaces, reinforce a unified identity across the Specific Plan Area, and strengthen the sense of place in an area that has historically been under-invested. Locate furnishings at key locations, such as intersections and public gathering areas as follows:
• Locate benches under trees where it is possible to provide shaded seating areas • Bicycle racks are sparsely available downtown and should be provided at entrances to paseos, parks, plazas, and other public gathering spaces thus supporting sustainable transportation options, attracting cyclists to the area, contributing to reduced traffic congestion, and increasing foot traffic for nearby shops and restaurants
• Tree grates not only protect urban trees but also add visual interest and greenery, improving air quality and providing shade that enhances the overall experience of being downtown. Trees grates should be used along public sidewalks to extend the pedestrian walking environment. Tree grates must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and should allow for uplights in key locations. 396

6.3.3 Lighting
Decorative, bistro, and other forms of accent lighting offer significant benefits to a downtown area by enhancing its visual appeal, safety, and overall atmosphere. Thoughtfully designed lighting creates a warm, inviting ambiance that encourages people to linger, dine, and shop, thereby
supporting local businesses and boosting the evening
economy. It also improves visibility and fosters a sense of security for pedestrians after dark, making downtown spaces feel more welcoming and active. In addition,
decorative lighting can help define the character and
identity of the area, highlight architectural features, and create memorable experiences during community events
or seasonal celebrations—all of which contribute to a
vibrant and connected downtown environment.
Decorative lighting should be integrated throughout
the downtown to ensure well-lit and vibrant pedestrian
spaces in the following ways:
• New and replacement light poles should reflect the
current globe light used on School Street and throughout much of the downtown. The frequency may need to
be increased in some areas to provide a consistent
experience
• Install electrical outlets for events, string lights, and uplighting
• Provide bracket hangers to accommodate hanging
planters and/or banners
• Accentuate key streets with year-round string lights
and/or twinkle lights
• Maintain a 20-foot minimum height over vehicular
areas
• Consider using a change of colors for lighting for
celebrating the change of seasons
• The placement of lighting should avoid glare into
adjacent residential areas

6.3.4 Public Art
Public art is another way to help create a dynamic street scene and unique sense of place. It can tell the story of the City, celebrate the community’s history and culture, beautify the area, improve public safety by inviting eyes on the street and generally create a more vibrant and walkable community. Public art takes many forms and is recommended in all of its variety throughout the downtown. Public art may include murals, mosaics, sculptures, kinetic art, artist-designed landscape features, streetscape elements such as functional art in the form of benches or bike racks, unique architectural elements, interactive art, augmented reality, and lighting, among many others. These types of art can also be installed for different periods of time – ranging from temporary to permanent.
The City can strengthen community engagement and support for the arts by organizing a variety of creative events and initiatives in public spaces.
These could include hosting arts and crafts workshops in plazas, parks, and promenades; organizing art walks and tours of local artist studios; and developing programs like utility box art and alleyway or paseo art galleries featuring local artists. Additional opportunities include setting up painting and chalk art areas for children and introducing rotating or seasonal outdoor art exhibitions to maintain ongoing public interest and celebration of the arts.
An Art in Public Places program was established in 2001 by the Lodi City Council, along with an Art Advisory Board, to help the City select and install artwork for public projects. Funding for Art in Public Places comes from developers’ fees designated for Lodi’s environmental enrichment.
The Lodi Arts Commission oversees the City’s public art program and recommends the distribution of annual arts grants awarded by the City Council.

6.3.5 Decorative Paving
Roadway improvements designed with decorative paving and integrated public art enhance the character and identity of the downtown streetscape.
Using distinctive paving materials, patterns, or colors at crosswalks, intersections, and key pedestrian areas can create a more visually engaging environment while also improving safety by signaling shared spaces and slowing vehicular traffic. Public art elements—such as inlaid mosaics, stamped concrete designs, or artist-designed pavement treatments—can celebrate local culture, history, and creativity, making the public realm more memorable and inviting. These enhancements not only beautify the streetscape but also contribute to a stronger sense of place, encourage walking and exploration, and support the overall vitality and appeal of the downtown area. The most notable use of this concept is the yellow paving improvements included as part of a late-1990s revitalization project aimed at transforming the area into a more pedestrian-friendly and visually unified district. Overtime a refreshing of the yellow paving or a similar special paving treatment could be used to create a cohesive, walkable district identity. 399

6.4 OUTDOOR DINING AND
PARKLETS
Outdoor dining contributes significantly to
downtown vitality, enhancing the visual appeal
of streets and encouraging social interaction and
pedestrian activity. By widening sidewalks or
redesigning underutilized parking spaces, cities can
accommodate outdoor dining areas and parklets that
enliven street frontages and paseos. Incorporating
amenities such as benches, potted plants, planters,
and fencing helps define spaces, create buffers
between pedestrians and vehicles, and add visual
interest. Establishing a formal parklets program with
clear design criteria will ensure cohesive, safe, and
attractive installations that align with city operations and codes.

6.5 PUBLIC PLAZAS, PASEOS, AND PARKS
Well-designed public spaces not only draw residents and visitors but also support local businesses, enhance public health, and contribute to environmental sustainability. By integrating green spaces, shaded seating areas, flexible gathering spots, and interactive features, downtown parks and plazas can become vibrant, inclusive destinations that strengthen community connections and bring lasting energy to the heart of the City. Public spaces such as downtown parks, paseos, and plazas should incorporate pedestrian-friendly elements that promote recreation, relaxation, and social interaction, helping activate the urban core and create opportunities for all ages to enjoy it.
• Increase public gathering spaces and host additional special events in the Downtown Specific Plan area
• Locate outdoor plaza spaces at mid-block crossings or at key corner locations to provide additional opportunities to increase interaction • Increased events and festivals and provide activities for all ages • Include public restrooms where feasible
6.5.1 Discovery Plaza
A future plaza is proposed on Sacramento Street, between Pine Street and Elm Street, envisions closing the existing street to pedestrians and transforming the currently underutilized block into a vibrant pedestrian- oriented gathering space. With minimal direct business frontage—aside from an office near Pine Street and the World of Wonders Science Museum, which supports the closure as part of its expansion plans—the area offers an ideal opportunity to enhance connectivity and activity in downtown. The nearby parking garage, which accesses Pine Street and Elm Street rather than Sacramento Street, would remain unaffected.
By closing or limiting vehicle traffic along this section, the project aims to create a central, walkable plaza that invites residents and visitors to gather, explore, and support surrounding downtown businesses.

6.5.2 Pedestrian Paseos
Paseos are pedestrian-only pathways that provide internal connections between the streets and alleyways and allow for pedestrian-friendly activities to occur. Paseos provide an opportunity for improved pedestrian circulation within the Specific Plan area while at the same time enhancing community character and creating distinctive urban spaces, such as links between public parking areas, alleyways, and the street environment and providing important connections between blocks. The Specific Plan area has existing paseos that connect parking to School Street and Church Street and additional paseos are recommended to further enhance pedestrian access, promote walkability, and increase opportunities for community gathering. Paseos should be improved with the recommendations contained within this section and accentuated with wayfinding signage, accent lighting, and decorative paving.
• Include pedestrian amenities such as seating, landscaping, special paving treatment, and public art
• Incorporate decorative lighting to create safe and usable spaces that are visually appealing at all hours
• Integrate design elements and features to ensure that the entry is highly visible from the public right-of-way. Consider integrating vertical elements within the streetscape as wayfinding devices at paseo entries such as trellises, banners, hanging plants on light poles, and/or large potted plants • Include uses to activate the paseos, such as outdoor dining, seating areas, and areas for outdoor games and activities • Buffer views of utilities and parked cars with potted plants, low walls/ fencing, and/or trellises with vines
• Incorporate cohesive decorative paving materials and
meander paving patterns and consider extending paving into the sidewalk for visual emphasis
• Infuse public art and placemaking elements to create visually distinctive paseos

Alleys play a vital role in supporting deliveries, services, and parking, and provide alternative pedestrian routes
away from busy streets, linking key destinations
and public spaces within the Specific Plan area.
Interconnected with paseos and public parking areas,
alleys can be transformed into enhanced community
corridors through improvements such as defined vehicle
and pedestrian pathways with lighting, decorative
paving, attractive entry elements and landscaping, and
clear directional and wayfinding signage.
Alleyway enhancements should include:
• A clear path for vehicles with defined pedestrian paths of travel using elements such as decorative paving
• Entry elements such as decorative paving and/or
accent landscaping
• Directional signage and wayfinding signage for
businesses
• Enhanced rear entries to businesses and rear façade
improvements
• Decorative paving in parking spaces
• Public art such as murals, paving insets, and sculpture • Street trees and landscape enhancements where
feasible, such as potted plants and raised planters
• Trash and recycling receptacle consolidation
and concealment in areas where there are large
concentrations of dumpsters
• Consider garbage collection multiple times a day and
distributing free recycling bins
• Lighting enhancements

7.2 BRIDGING EAST AND WEST
To improve safety, accessibility, and community connectivity at railroad crossings, the following recommendations are proposed to protect drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists while maintaining local access and mobility. Implementing these measures will reduce the risk of collisions, enhance visibility, and make crossings easier and safer for all users. By investing in these improvements, the community can lower collision risks, improve mobility for everyone, and strengthen connections between neighborhoods and key local destinations.
Install Raised Medians for Traffic Control
Add raised medians (minimum 8 inches high, 60 feet minimum / 100 feet preferred length) approaching each railroad crossing. These medians will prevent unsafe turning movements, reduce crash risk, and guide vehicles safely across the tracks. Driveways within this zone should be modified or restricted to right-turn-only access.
Upgrade Crossing Design and Signal Systems
Widen crossing approaches as needed to accommodate new medians and improve lane alignment. Conduct a detailed signal analysis to optimize timing, visibility, and coordination with railroad warning systems. Evaluate lighting conditions and add illumination where necessary for nighttime safety.
Provide Modern Gate Arms on All Approaches
Ensure all approaches to the railroad have active gate arms that fully block vehicle access during train movements. Some existing gate arms may need to be relocated closer to the tracks for improved function and visibility.
Improve Pedestrian Access and ADA Compliance
Install pedestrian gates and upgrade sidewalks to meet ADA standards.
Improvements should include smooth surfaces, curb ramps, and tactile warning strips. These upgrades will create safer crossings for pedestrians, wheelchair users, and cyclists.
407
07 | Circulation System
7-3
Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Install Enhanced Security Fencing
Add expanded no-cut steel fencing along the railroad right-of-way to discourage trespassing and improve overall safety for residents, especially in areas with frequent foot traffic near the tracks.
Maintain Clear Visibility Near Tracks
Within 100 feet of the tracks, limit all fixed objects to a height of three feet or less to preserve visibility of flashing lights and trains. Regularly trim or remove vegetation that obstructs sight lines or signage.
Remove On-Street Parking Near Crossings
Eliminate parking near the railroad approaches to improve sight distance and create a safer, more open environment for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Update Signage and Pavement Markings
Refresh or replace all roadway signs and striping to meet current MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) standards. Where work occurs within or adjacent to the railroad right-of-way, obtain a Maintenance Consent Letter (MCL) from the railroad.
Resurface Roadways and Improve Bike/Pedestrian
Paths
Resurface roadways approaching the tracks to provide smooth, durable surfaces. Upgrade existing sidewalks and bike paths near crossings (outside the rail right-of-way) to ensure consistent quality and safety along travel routes.
Conduct Supporting Technical Studies
Perform detailed traffic studies to evaluate the impacts of median installation and access modifications. Carry out property development studies to assess how proposed improvements align with surrounding land use, access, and future growth.

7.3 PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
The downtown area primarily has continuous pedestrian access and in general there is a cohesive network of sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and curb ramps that provide adequate access for pedestrians throughout the Specific Plan area. However, there are major gaps in sidewalk connectivity along the entirety of the west side of North Main Street and the south side of Locust Street from the railroad tracks to North Main Street. The following improvements are suggested for enhancing the pedestrian walkability in the Specific Plan area:
• Close sidewalk gaps
• Ensure a continuous sidewalk connection into downtown • Revitalize existing alleyways and develop car-free paseos and promenades to link pedestrians to streets between blocks (refer to Chapter 5)
• Create enhanced railroad crossings and better connectivity between the east and west sides of the Specific Plan area
• Consider a future pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks at Elm Street. There may be some efficiencies in providing a connection to the existing parking structure to utilize elevators and to reduce the length of the bridge
• Provide bulb outs and enhanced crosswalks downtown at mid-block and key intersections
• Provide a pedestrian zone with a street closure on Sacramento Street between Pine Street and Elm Street
• Plan for and conduct occasional/periodic temporary street closures to vehicles along School Street for special events and farmer’s market Figure 7.1: Pedestrian

7.4 MULTI-USE TRAILS
Multi-use trails provide a wide range of benefits by promoting physical activity, mental well-being, and outdoor recreation for people of all ages.
They offer safe, accessible routes for walking, biking, and other activities while reducing reliance on cars, lowering traffic congestion, and decreasing environmental pollution. These trails also support community connectivity by linking neighborhoods, parks, and commercial areas, fostering social interaction and inclusivity. Additionally, they contribute to local economies by increasing property values and attracting visitors, all while preserving green spaces and encouraging environmental stewardship. Overall, multiuse trails enhance health, community, and sustainability in a single, versatile public resource.
7.4.1 North-South Main Street Corridor
Expanded sidewalks and a Class I bike path is envisioned on the west side of Main Street extending from Lodi Avenue to the Softball Complex. This is the short-term solution to provide a much needed north south connector within downtown. With the successful acquisition of property from UPRR, a Class IV separated multi-use path is envisioned adjacent to the rail line which will provided a link to the proposed Class II bike lane on Stockton Street.
7.4.2 Lockeford Street Rail Spur
Adding a multi-use trail parallel to a railroad spur near Lockeford Street (or potentially replacing it completely) as proposed in the Lodi Greenline Trail Feasibility Study, 2022, would create a safer, more pleasant walking and cycling environment between the downtown area and Lodi Lake and Woodbridge. As redevelopment occurs between the UPRR tracks and Main Street, there may be further opportunities to incorporate an off-street trail or path to strengthen north-south connectivity for walkers and bicyclists. 410

7.5 BICYCLE NETWORK
While the City of Lodi’s General Plan outlines planned bicycle facilities, the Specific Plan places additional emphasis on development of a cohesive bicycle network that connects to and within downtown. Currently, the downtown area has bicycle lanes on Elm Street, Stockton Street, Pine Street, and Church Street. Designated bike routes are available on Lockeford Street, Elm Street, Lodi Avenue. Existing bicycle routes will be connected and link to adjacent bicycle facilities.

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
There is potential to further develop the downtown bicycle network by implementing enhanced bicycle infrastructure within existing rights- of-way on one or more of the east-west roads. Several streets are also potential candidates for implementation of pedestrian enhancements, including segments of West Elm Street and North School Street in western downtown. To the east of the UPRR tracks, the Main Street corridor is an opportunity for full reconstruction and is an optimal corridor to prioritize pedestrian improvements and circulation.
Implementing traffic calming measures such as raised crosswalks and curb extensions on these downtown streets will support the reduction in vehicle speeds and enhance safety in these areas.
Proposed bicycle network enhancements include the following:
• Bike Boulevard Class IIIB on Locust Street
• Bike Route Class III on Lodi Avenue
• Class II bike lanes on Stockton Street, north of Lockeford Street, and south of Lodi Avenue to link to areas outside the Specific Plan boundary

7.6 VEHICULAR CIRCULATION NETWORK
In downtown, the vehicular network is organized around a compact grid of local arterials—such as Sacramento Street, Lodi Avenue, Pine Street, and Vine Street—designed to
support both through-traffic and access to the city’s historic core. Side streets connect to these main corridors, which link the downtown area to major state highways and U.S. routes just beyond the city center. The grid layout promotes smooth circulation while maintaining the walkable, small- town character of the district and supports strategies such as prioritizing alternative modes by closing off blocks or segments of roads to vehicular traffic, or alternatively, prioritizing different travel modes on different streets.
Freight and commercial vehicles are accommodated
through designated routes, with truck access managed
to protect pedestrian activity and maintain safety.
Overall, the downtown vehicular network balances local
mobility, efficient circulation, and connectivity to regional transportation systems.
As noted above, the downtown area and surrounding
neighborhoods follow a grid pattern with streets running in a north-south or east-west orientation. The area in the Lodi Downtown Specific Plan includes roads that are classified in the General Plan by street hierarchy. Street hierarchy refers to the organization of streets based on their function and traffic capacity, with major roads (such as arterials and collectors) designed to accommodate higher volumes of
traffic and local streets providing direct access to properties and neighborhoods. A map of the roadway system in the
City of Lodi from the General Plan is provided as Figure 7.3:
Vehicular Circulation Map.

Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
Arterials
The Specific Plan area includes four roadways that are classified as minor arterials by the General Plan. Lodi Avenue and Lockeford Street run east-west and provide connections to the residential neighborhoods west and east of the Downtown area and to/from SR-99. Church Street (classified as a minor arterial from Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street only) and Stockton Street are oriented north-south and provide connections to the residential, industrial, and commercial corridor on Kettleman Lane (SR-12). Truck routes are designated on certain arterials throughout Lodi. Near downtown, the only designated truck route is Stockton Street along the eastern Specific Plan area boundary.
Collectors
The downtown area includes two roads classified as collectors. West Elm Street and West Pine Street run east-west through the Specific Plan area, connecting the downtown with residential communities to the east and west.
Local Roads
All other roads in the study area are classified as local roads, smaller roads with one travel lane in each direction that provide access to local destinations.
Truck Route
In downtown Lodi, heavy and multi-axle trucks are generally directed to use designated arterial streets—such as Turner Road, Lower Sacramento Road, Beckman Road, and Guild Avenue—while smaller streets in the historic core are largely restricted to through-truck traffic. Truck parking is limited to specific streets and time periods, with loading and unloading permitted only in designated areas. Overall, the existing truck route system balances freight access with safety and livability by channeling through-truck traffic along major arterials while restricting trucks in sensitive downtown zones.

Downtown Street Enhancements
A number of opportunities exist aimed to enhance
downtown Lodi’s walkability, safety, and community
spaces while maintaining traffic efficiency.
Proposed improvements include continuing School
Street closures for events with removable bollards,
converting Sacramento Street between Pine Street
and Elm Street into a pedestrian plaza to support
museum expansion, limiting vehicular connectivity
on Locust Street at the railroad tracks to form a
bicycle boulevard with local access, and integrating
a “road diet” on Lockeford Street to reduce lanes
and calm traffic while providing additional space
for landscaping, parking, and bike facilities.
7.6.1 Main Street Improvement
Establish Main Street as a vibrant, multimodal
corridor with a consistent 80-foot right-of-way
that prioritizes pedestrians, cyclists, and local
vitality. The recommended design includes two 12-
foot travel lanes for efficient vehicle flow, parallel
and diagonal parking on both sides with decorative
paving, widened sidewalks featuring landscaped
parkways, street trees, and placemaking elements
for a welcoming public realm, and a 10-foot Class
IV separated cycle track with landscaped buffers
for safe, accessible biking. Right-of-way acquisition
between Elm Street and Walnut Street (see Figure
4.9) is necessary to achieve this vision, enabling
continuous pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular
connectivity from Lodi Avenue to the Softball
Complex. These enhancements will transform Main
Street into a cohesive, attractive, and accessible
destination that supports community identity and
economic vitality.

7.6.2 Locust Street Closure
Designating Locust Street as a bicycle boulevard would create a safe, low-stress east-west connection for bicyclists and pedestrians between North Main Street and areas west of the railroad tracks, while discouraging through vehicle traffic and preserving local access. By closing through vehicle access across the tracks, bicyclists and pedestrians would maintain seamless connectivity, and drivers would be routed to higher-capacity streets such as Lockeford Street or Lodi Avenue, minimally impacting overall traffic operations. This configuration also supports potential future railroad quiet zone improvements by eliminating one vehicle crossing, enhancing safety and community livability, with traffic modeling indicating only minor changes in intersection delays and overall operations remaining at LOS C or better.
7.6.3 Lockeford Street Road Diet
Converting the four-lane segment of Lockeford Street between North Church Street and North California Street to two lanes would better align the corridor’s configuration, calm traffic, and create space for multimodal and streetscape enhancements. Traffic volumes on this segment are lower than adjacent two-lane sections, indicating excess roadway capacity that can be repurposed without compromising performance. The road diet would support Lodi Downtown Specific Plan goals by improving safety, walkability, and visual character, while providing opportunities for bicycle facilities, landscaping, stormwater features, parking, or turn lanes.

7.6.4 School Street Temporary Event Closures
Create flexible, plaza-like spaces along School Street using decorative paving and removable or retractable bollards to allow temporary street closures for community events, festivals, farmers’ markets, and parades. These enhancements will strengthen the area’s identity as a vibrant community hub while maintaining a 20-foot clear passage for emergency access and restricting regular automobile traffic for safety and pedestrian comfort.
7.6.5 Sacramento Street Closure
Sacramento Street between Pine Street and Elm Street should be closed or limited to vehicular traffic to create Discovery Plaza (see Page 6-12), a central, pedestrian-oriented gathering space that enhances downtown connectivity and supports future development. With no parking garage access maintained from adjacent streets, the closure would have minimal traffic impact while enabling the World of Wonders Science Museum to expand and activate the area with new plaza space. This transformation would create a vibrant public realm that encourages walking, social interaction, and greater engagement with nearby downtown businesses and cultural destinations.

7.7 TRANSIT NETWORK
The Specific Plan area is generally well-served by transit. Potential pedestrian amenities to further enhance the attractiveness of transit use include the addition of benches and shelter to all stops within the downtown area. The San Joaquin Regional Transit District (San Joaquin RTD), South County Transit (SCT), and City of Lodi’s GrapeLine provide transit service to and from Downtown. The Lodi Transit Station in Downtown on South Sacramento Street between West Oak Street and West Pine Street serves as a key hub for both local and regional bus service, with buses stopping regularly for convenient connections throughout the area. It also functions as a train station, with Amtrak providing passenger service via the San Joaquins.
The Lodi Transit Station is fully integrated into the surrounding transportation network, offering easy access for both pedestrians and transit riders, and includes benches, shelter, and bicycle racks. All GrapeLine routes stop at the Transit Station and other stops within the downtown area, which are equipped with signs providing route information. Most stops also have benches and/or a shelter. All stops are integrated into the surrounding sidewalk network. Two bicycles can be carried on most SJRTD, SCT, and GrapeLine buses. Bike rack space is on a first-come, first-served basis. ADA VineLine, the GrapeLine paratransit service, is available for those who are unable to use the transit system due to physical or mental disability. It is designed to serve the needs of individuals with disabilities within the City of Lodi.

7.8 PUBLIC PARKING
Parking in downtown Lodi is designed to support local businesses, visitors, and events while preserving the area’s historic and pedestrian-friendly atmosphere. Most parking consists of on-street spaces arranged along Sacramento Street, Pine Street, Lodi Avenue, and surrounding side streets, with time limits in place to encourage turnover and short-term use. An existing multi-level public parking structure on North Sacramento Street provides additional capacity near the downtown core, including spaces for electric vehicle charging.
The City’s public parking garage is located within a 1/4-mile walking distance of the majority of Downtown Lodi’s commercial core. A 1/4-mile radius (approximately a 5-minute walk) is a nationally recognized standard for walkable access in downtown and mixed-use environments. This distance is generally considered comfortable and appropriate for employees and long-term parking, allowing on-street spaces to remain available for customers and short-duration visits, which are critical to supporting downtown businesses. While individual perceptions of walking distance may vary, the City’s parking framework is consistent with best practices in downtown planning and parking management. Several public lots are also strategically located within walking distance of shopping and dining areas, and parking regulations are clearly marked to maintain accessibility and safety. Overall, Lodi’s downtown parking system balances convenience, turnover, and modern infrastructure needs within a compact urban environment.

7.8.1 Parking Structure and Public Lots
The off-street parking supply includes a three-level parking structure owned and operated by the Lodi Transit Administration (LTA) at 3 North Sacramento Street. There are four other downtown surface parking lots operated by the City on Church Street between Pine Street and Walnut Street. Additionally, the Lodi Transit Center has its own dedicated parking lot.
The parking structure offers 330 parking spaces, including EV charging space for transit-users, residents, and other travelers. Daily parking is offered for free on a first-come first-served basis. Long-term parking over 72 hours is also free for a maximum of two consecutive weeks with submittance of an online form or contacting the LTA. Parking surveys conducted in 2015 found average occupancies in the parking structure to be approximately 21 percent; recent observations suggest that the structure remains underutilized in 2024.
The low utilization of the parking structure can be linked to the perception that it is unsafe as well as there is currently ample availability on the street and within the public surface lots. Finding parking may also be an issue; wayfinding in the downtown to both parking facilities and key destinations could be improved. Improvements to the structure should include additional lighting, aesthetic upgrades, and security. Over time it will become more utilized as it presents a significant opportunity to the downtown. As the Specific Plan area redevelops, and parking demand increases, an additional public parking structure could be considered.
Accommodation of onsite parking at both residential and commercial developments can be a substantial cost burden and can even make development on smaller sites infeasible. Provision of larger shared parking facilities in a mixed-use urban environment is both cost- effective and efficient, particularly where uses with opposing peaks in parking demand are present, such as employment and entertainment- related uses.

7.9 RAIL FREIGHT
One notable constraint to circulation in the Specific Plan area is the railroad, which divides the Specific Plan area. This impacts not only noise and pollution levels but creates a barrier effect for all modes of transportation by limiting east-west connections. The width of the somewhat barren and treeless railroad right-of-way also disrupts the walking environment, potentially causing many pedestrians to turn around rather than continue walking along the corridor, particularly during hot months.
The planned relocation of passenger rail to outside the City would present additional challenges. Residents, workers, and visitors would no longer have the convenience of accessing trains at the centrally located Lodi Transit Station and would have to reach the relocated station west of Lodi by some other means. Upon relocation of passenger rail service to the west side of the City, an opportunity exists to establish a new convenient transit or shuttle connection between the new train station and downtown.
In addition to accommodating passenger rail service, the UPRR corridor through downtown Lodi is a busy freight rail corridor. Approximately 14 freight trains per day traverse the downtown area. Freight trains have noticeable effects on circulation, temporarily disrupting auto, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit east-west circulation, along with negative effects related to noise and diesel exhaust. As provided earlier in this chapter, Section 7.2 Bridging East and West and Section 7.4 North-South Multi-Use Trail provide several strategies and approaches to improve mobility and livability for this area.

Infrastructure and Public Facilities
8.1 INTRODUCTION
Existing and proposed infrastructure is the backbone necessary for successful development of the Lodi Downtown Specific Plan area. This is accomplished through evaluating anticipated density and quantity of development. Utility demand studies and other engineering evaluations are performed to estimate the infrastructure demand using the types of buildings, structures, and essential support facilities that will be constructed, and the quantity of people inhabiting and/or using those facilities. Master Plans, a Capital Improvement Program, development impact fee/in-lieu fee/mitigation fee programs, and coordination with other utility agencies are important to be implemented by city staff that evaluate proposed projects to meet the needs of build-out for the Specific Plan area.
The City of Lodi has developed thorough master plans, identified upgrades where necessary, and has built facilities to handle existing growth. Further evaluation and study by city staff should be a constant policy or practice to verify the type and location of each development and determine if the existing infrastructure is available or proposed to serve the development and if not, develop a method for additional infrastructure through the entitlement process, Capital Improvement Program and implementation of the City’s fee program as appropriate. This section specifically describes existing and proposed infrastructure such as water, wastewater, storm drainage, dry utilities, and the essential public facilities which support the Specific Plan area. 423

8.2 WATER SUPPLY
Water supply is managed by the City of Lodi Public Works Department which operates and maintains approximately 240 miles of water mains, 28 wells, and one surface water treatment facility.
The goal of the City is to provide safe and clean drinking water free of harmful contaminants for consumption that is treated to levels that meet federal, state, and local standards, for ultimate use to its residential, commercial and industrial customers. Water also is distributed for public safety purposes through both private and public fire hydrants and related fire suppression infrastructure (such as sprinkler systems). The City is also responsible for maintenance and related repairs to the infrastructure.
8.2.1 Potable Water
The Specific Plan area is serviced by only potable water. Potable water is drinking water that comes from surface water and groundwater sources and is treated to levels that meet state and federal standards for consumption. Historically, though, the City of Lodi uses groundwater pumped from its wells to meet its water needs. The City entered into an agreement with the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) in 2003 to purchase 6,000 acre feet of water per year of WID’s Mokelumne River water entitlements. (An acrefoot of water is a unit measurement of volume that measures the amount of water needed to cover an acre of land to a depth of one foot). Since the adoption of the Impact Mitigation Fee Program (IMFP) in 2012, Lodi has completed the construction of the surface water treatment facility located at 2001 West Turner Road, approximately a mile west of the Specific Plan area. However, additional related facilities and infrastructure are still required to effectively utilize the WID water supply. 424
08 | Support Systems
8-3
Public Hearing Draft: 3/31/26
In 1990, the City adopted the Lodi Water Master Plan which was later updated and adopted in 2012. The update was done to account for newer development along the south and west portions of the city as well as to update current water demand for the entire city. Expansion of the water services are required to serve planned development areas and this requires adequate funding, phasing, and effective water use planning. The Water Master Plan outlined a water system fee to account for new development costs of the aforementioned surface water treatment facility and the additional infrastructure needed to move water into the distribution system. These additional facilities include a new 1.5 million gallon storage tank and an additional well for peak use condition. Water fee calculations include the costs of both blended (from surface sources) and pumped groundwater.
