Compliance with M Zoning District Development Standards The M 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 M zone. Table C: M Zoning District Development Standards M District Proposed Compliance Standard Project Setbacks Front 10 feet 10 feet Yes Street Side 10 feet 10 feet Yes Side No setback Landscaping is Yes required provided (landscaping must be provided) Rear No setback Landscaping is Yes required provided (landscaping must be provided) Floor Area Ratio 0.60 0.36 Yes Height Limit 70 feet 21 feet Yes Industrial Design Guidelines The Lodi Zoning Code includes architectural design guidelines for industrial uses (Zoning Code section 17.24.050). These guidelines provide, “… useful recommendations for the design construction, review, and approval of industrial development … [to] … ensure that new projects will be well designed, uphold the city's vision, and contribute to the quality of the public realm.” The guidelines for industrial development cover a variety of topics, including: 11 SPARC 3 Commerce St. April 14, 2021 Pg 12 of 15 • Building Orientation • Building Design and Architecture • Articulation and Detail • Roofs • Building Materials and Colors • Parking and Circulation • Landscaping • Lighting • Equipment, Service Area, and Refuse Screening • Metal Buildings In staff’s opinion, the proposed 3 Commerce industrial project meets the intent of the industrial design guidelines, and is a well-designed project. Parking Vehicle Parking The proposed building requires 5 parking spaces, as follows: Parking Use Area Spaces Required Requirement Building: A: 3,300 SF 3,300 SF 1 per 1,000 SF 5 B: 1,387 SF 1,387 SF Total Spaces Required: 5 Total Spaces Provided: 6 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, 12 SPARC 3 Commerce St. April 14, 2021 Pg 13 of 15 "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] The proposed landscape plan (Figure 11, earlier in this report, excerpt below) provides parking which meets these requirements.
