SPECIAL TELECONFERENCE NOTICE
Pursuant to Executive Order N-29-20:
The Brown Act, Government Code Section 54953, contains special requirements that apply when members of a
legislative body participate in a public meeting by telephone. Certain of these requirements have been suspended by
Paragraph 3 of Executive Order N-29-20, executed by the Governor of California on March 17, 2020 to mitigate the
spread of the coronavirus known as COVID-19. In particular, the Executive Order suspends that provision of the Brown
Act that requires noticing, posting of agendas, and public access to each location where a member will be participating
telephonically, as well as provisions that require physical presence of members of the legislative body or the public for
purposes of a quorum or to hold a meeting. Executive Order N-29-20 allows an agency to conduct a teleconference

PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project is a senior care facility. From the applicant’s submittal:
This proposed project is to provide a facility for Senior Assisted and Memory Care
Residents (average age 84) (RCFE Residential Care Facility for the Elderly). The
building will be 2 story, approximately 56,000 sf for a total of 80 units. There is private
interior courtyard for activity as well as recreation spaces to the west and south, all
screened from public view.
The Assisted living portion will have 56 units with Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedroom
units.24 of the units will comprise a Memory Care Wing that will be self contained
withexclusive diningcommon, and outdoor areas.The site is 2.16 Acres, is an infill lot
with access from both Sylvia and Fairmont. It is complementary in use as it is adjacent
to the hospital, a skilled nursing/convalescent home and medical offices. The 2 story
height is within the zoning code. The design is upscale in nature, residential in
character, and will enhance the environment.This use is low intensity, and the parking
requirements and trip needs are also low intensity. The Lodi parking required is 60
required and 62 provided.The facility will have a commercial kitchen, dining areas,
activity areas, TV/Movie area, Fitness Center/ physical therapy/ and craft areas.
As noted earlier, the proposed senior care facility requires approval of a conditional use
permit by the Planning Commission.
Site Plan and Architecture
A site plan of the proposed development is shown below. The proposed building is located in
the center of the site, with parking (a total of 60 spaces) located north, east and south of the
8

Figure 10: Proposed Materials
The design of the proposed facility reflects a generally “residential” character, and
incorporates materials often used into homes in Lodi: stucco, stacked stone concrete tile, and
concrete S-tile roofing. Proposed materials are shown in the figure above.
Site Plan, Parking and Pedestrian Access
An illustrative site plan showing proposed landscaping is shown below.
11
Figure 11: Illustrative Site Plan
The applicant’s description of the landscape concept:
The landscape design concept for Assisted Living, Lodi is to provide an enjoyable and
aesthetic space for employees and residents that fits within the landscape framework
of the existing neighborhood and the surrounding area, as well as the requirements of
the City. Plant material has been selected that performs well in the special conditions
of the San Joaquin Valley (Sunset Zone #14).
No high water use turf areas are included. Low and medium water use hardy trees,
shrubs and groundcover are proposed for the landscape around the site. The
landscape (and associated irrigation) has been designed to be compliant with City of
Lodi's Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO).
Special considerations have been provided in selection of plant material that respect
the needs of the facility as well as the customers. Clear and secure view corridors
have been provided to ensure safety of the residents entering and moving around the
site.
12
The proposed includes 60 parking spaces, including 3 handicapped-accessible spots. Three
spaces are proposed to be provided with conduits to accommodate the future installation of
electric vehicle charging (installation is not proposed with this project).
Bicycle parking is not shown on the plan, but will need to be provided as discussed later in
this report.
Pedestrian access is provided via connections to the public sidewalk on Sylvia Drive.
Please see the discussion of parking lot shading later in this report.
ANALYSIS
The following sections address several topics associated with the proposed project:
• Compliance with O zoning district development standards
• Architecture and Landscape design
• Landscaping and site improvements
• Parking
Staff’s analysis of these issues is provided below.
Compliance with O Development Standards
The O zoning district includes the following development standards, which are shown with
the proposed project’s measurements. As shown, the project complies with the development
standards of the O zone.

Architecture and Landscape Design
The Lodi Zoning Code does not include specific architectural design guidelines for office
uses. 1
Lacking specific design guidelines, staff reviewed the proposed buildings using generally
accepted criteria from the architecture profession and the following required findings for
approval of site plan and architectural review:
The applicable review authority may approve a site plan and architectural approval
application only after first finding that:
1. The design and layout of the proposed project would:
a. Be consistent with the development and design standards/guidelines of the
applicable zoning district;
b. Not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
developments, and not create traffic or pedestrian hazards;
c. Maintain and enhance the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development
contemplated by this development code; and
d. Provide a desirable environment for its occupants, neighbors, and visiting public
through good aesthetic use of durable materials, texture, and color. [Zoning Code
17.40.020.E]
Criteria 1a: “Consistent with the development and design standards/guidelines of the
applicable zoning district.:
Staff Analysis: The proposed development is consistent with the development standards of
the O zoning district, as shown earlier in this report. As discussed above, the Zoning Code
does not have specific design guidelines for the O zoning district.
Criteria 1b: “Not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
developments, and not create traffic or pedestrian hazards”
Staff Analysis: The proposed project would place a relatively low-intensity residential-type
use in the vicinity of similar uses. Staff does not anticipate that the project will affect the use
or enjoyment of surrounding properties. With regard to traffic and pedestrian access, the
project has been reviewed by the Public Works department, which determined that the
proposed improvements comply with City standards.
Critera 1c: “Maintain and enhance the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development
contemplated by this development code”
Staff Analysis: Staff feels that the design of the proposed project reflects the level of quality
desired in Lodi. The design includes:
1
The “Commercial design guidelines” in Zoning Code section 17.20.050 are specific to “… the
commercial areas of Lodi” and are clearly designed to address development in downtown Lodi and
similar areas.
14
• A variety of quality materials used in appropriate locations on the building
• A clear base, middle, and top of the building
• A clear, covered front entry
• Articulation on all of the building facades to avoid long, unbroken walls
• Detailing around doorways and windows and on the walls to create visual relief and
shadows
• Detailing at a consistent level on all sides of the building
Staff is in general agreement with the proposed design, which is the result of discussion
between staff and the applicant. However, staff suggests the following minor additions to the
stone accents on the building, and has included a proposed condition of approval to require
additional stone accent material in these locations:
• Extending the stone accent material upward on all sides of both corner turrets in the
locations shown.
• Extending the stone accent material upward on both the building and the supports of
the entry feature in the locations shown.
Parking
The Zoning Code requires parking for “Senior congregate facilities” as follows:
• 0.5 space for each residential unit for residents
• 1 space for every 4 residential units for guests and staff
Based on these standards, the project requires 59 parking spaces:
• 78 x 0.5 = 39
• 78/4 = 20
• TOTAL Required: 59 spaces
The proposed project includes 60 parking spaces, which exceeds the number required by the
Zoning Code.
The Lodi Zoning Code requires that commercial uses provide at least 4 bicycle parking stalls
or 20 percent of required off-street parking, whichever is greater. For the proposed project,
this results in a requirement for 12 bicycle parking spaces (59 x 0.2 = 11.8). The applicant
proposes to locate four bicycle parking spaces inside the building for staff; a proposed
condition of approval is included to reflect this.
15
Parking Lot Shading
The Lodi Zoning Code seeks to ensure that parking areas will have shade for both aesthetics
and for the comfort of patrons and employees. The most direct standard is:
"Landscaped areas within or adjacent to the parking area shall provide for a minimum
of one shade tree for every four parking stalls. Depending on type and size of shade
tree, requirements may be modified by the City Site Plan and Architectural Review
Committee." [Zoning Code 17.32.070.D.2]
Staff interprets this requirement to require that parking spaces alternate with trees every
fourth space, providing shade throughout the parking lot. Staff views this as important in this
particular case for the comfort of both visitors and staff, especially during Lodi’s hot summer
months.
The Code also includes "General Design Considerations" for parking areas that includes a
variety of factors including,
"Shading the parking lot by means of canopy trees or other landscaping." [Zoning
Code 17.32.110.A.1.i]
The Code also requires that,
"Tree well and planting islands shall have a minimum dimension of eight feet and be
excavated to a depth of three feet and filled with amended soil as necessary." [Zoning
Code 17.32.110.F.9]
However, as shown in the applicant’s submittal, most of the parking spaces (approximately
41 of 60) have no shading:
16
The applicant has indicated that shading will be provided via:
• Adding trees to the parking area adjacent to Sylvia Drive
• Shading the spaces on the southern project boundary with solar panels
Both of these solutions are acceptable to staff. Recommended conditions of approval are
included to require the submittal of revised plans showing sufficient shading before building
permits are issued.
FINDINGS
The Lodi Municipal Code (Section 17.14.040 F) requires that the SPARC make the following
findings in order to approve a site plan and architectural review application:
1. The design and layout of the proposed project would:
a. Be consistent with the development and design standards/guidelines of the applicable
zoning district;
17
b. Not interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
developments, and not create traffic or pedestrian hazards;
c. Maintain and enhance the attractive, harmonious, and orderly development
contemplated by this development code; and
d. Provide a desirable environment for its occupants, neighbors, and visiting public
through good aesthetic use of durable materials, texture, and color.
2. The proposed development:
a. Would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious
to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
b. Has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and the Lodi Environmental Review Guidelines [Zoning Code 17.040.020.E]
Staff’s recommendations are shown below:
1a. The design and layout of the proposed project would be consistent with the development
and design standards/guidelines of the applicable zoning district;
Analysis: The proposed building complies with the development standards of the O
district, including minimum and maximum height, floor area ratio, and parking. The project
will provide more parking than is required by the Zoning Code.
1b. The design and layout of the proposed project would not interfere with the use and
enjoyment of neighboring existing or future developments, and not create traffic or
pedestrian hazards;
Analysis: The proposed project will not create any impediments to surrounding
developments. The project includes safe pedestrian access into the site from adjacent
public sidewalks.
1c. The design and layout of the proposed project would maintain and enhance the attractive,
harmonious, and orderly development contemplated by this development code; and
Analysis: The project’s design, colors, and materials are appropriate for the type of
building, and reflect a high level of design and quality.
1d. The design and layout of the proposed project would provide a desirable environment for
its occupants, neighbors, and visiting public through good aesthetic use of durable
materials, texture, and color.
Analysis: The proposed project includes colors consistent with the type of building, and
would be constructed with durable materials and finishes.
2a. The proposed development would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
Analysis: There is no evidence in the record to suggest that the proposed hotel would
result in any detriments to the public health, safety, or welfare. The project has been
18
designed to be consistent with the Zoning Code and applicable public works, building,
and other codes and requirements.
2b. Has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the Lodi Environmental Review Guidelines.
Analysis: The proposed project is exempt from environmental review per CEQA section
15332, as discussed below.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project meets the criteria for a Class 32 exemption per CEQA Guidelines
section 15332. CEQA defines projects in Class 32 as follows:
“Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions
described in this section.
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable
general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five
acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.
(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise,
air quality, or water quality.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.”
The project complies with all of these requirements:
a) The project is consistent with the Lodi General Plan, which designates the industrial land
use district for a mix of uses including “general service,” which includes the proposed
hotel use. The O (Office) land use district allows hotels with a Use Permit.
b) The project site is within the city, surrounded by existing development, and less than five
acres in size.
c) The project site has been entirely developed in the past and contains no habitat for
wildlife species.
d) The project is not expected to result in any traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality
impact. The types of uses expected to occur in the proposed building are typical of the O
zoning district and the surrounding area, and would not generate significant levels of
traffic, noise, or other impacts.
e) The project site is served with all needed utilities by the City and other agencies.

ELECTRIC UTILITY DEPARTMENT
Memorandum
TO: Applicant of Senior Assisted Living / Memory Care Facility, 1108 Sylvia Dr.
FROM: Sr. Power Engineer, Tim Conn
DATE: September 22, 2020
SUBJECT: Site plan comments
The Electric Utility recently reviewed a site plan for a proposed Senior Assisted Living /
Memory Care Facility at 1108 Sylvia Drive and provides the following comments:
1. We reiterate our comments from 7/20/2020, attached below.
2. At this preliminary stage, it is impossible to know what the final utility design will
look like, however, the project should anticipate the placement of various pieces
of utility infrastructure with various space and clearance requirements – parking
spaces are often times the most ideally located and suited for utility
infrastructure.
3. At this preliminary stage, it is impossible to know what the final utility design will
look like, however, it is likely the project will need to dedicate various PUE
covering the electric utility infrastructure; both new infrastructure, as well as any
existing not already within a PUE.
4. The applicant has identified a location as, “Elec Panel Location” The utility is
unclear if the applicant is proposing this location for a main service panel or for a
sub-panel. The Utility does not have enough information at this time to approve
of a main service panel location. Under certain circumstances, the Utility can
approve metering inside a “utility room”, subject to meeting all Utility
requirements as well as any other NEC clearances and Building Code
requirements. Among the deficiencies with the identified location noted at this
stage, the location does not have an outside door and does have an interior door,
further, it is unclear what other equipment may be proposed to co-exist in this
space.
Thank you, and we look forward to your project.

Possible pole relocation due
to drive aisle location.
Possible conversion of electric
facilities from overhead to
underground.
- Any tree within the existing PUE, will
need to be limited to 20'.
- This project can require off-site rework.
