BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On October 21, 2026, the City Council waived the first reading and introduced the Phase 4 Development Code Amendments Ordinance, excluding Chapter 15.69 (Agricultural Mitigation Fee), which was continued to November 4, 2026, for further discussion in response to concerns raised by the Building Industry Association (BIA) and Lodi Chamber of Commerce.
The remaining ordinance provisions, including Chapter 15.70 (Parkland Dedication and In-Lieu Fees), Section 17.28.040 (Planned Development (-PD) Overlay Zoning District), Chapter 17.77 (Boundary Changes), and Chapter 17.78 (Williamson Act Regulations), are now presented for second reading and adoption. The ordinance introduced by the Council also incorporates revisions to Chapter 17.77, replacing the term “Merit Hearing” with “Pre-Annexation Hearing” and removing Planning Commission review of the pre-annexation process, making it a City Council-only hearing.
