Section V. Related Experience <br /> JONES & STOKES ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Relevant Projects in San Joaquin County <br /> Guild Wineries - Del Rio Winery Biotic Resources Survey <br /> Jones&Stokes Associates conducted an inventory of botanical and wildlife resources <br /> in a riparian forest site on the banks of the Mokelumne River near Lodi. An assessment <br /> was made of potential impacts to these resources from proposed subdivision and residential <br /> development in previously disturbed portions of the site. Mitigation measures were <br /> suggested that could be incorporated into development plans to minimize impacts to riparian <br /> vegetation and wildlife. <br /> City of Lodi - Mayor's Growth Management Task Force <br /> Jones & Stokes Associates was retained by the City of Lodi to provide advice on <br /> growth management to a 10-member task force appointed by the mayor. Lodi was one of <br /> the first cities in California to enact an agricultural land protection ordinance through the <br /> initiative process. In 1986, the ordinance was declared invalid as a result of a legal <br /> challenge. The city's mayor convened a task force to explore alternative types of growth <br /> control measures. <br /> Jones & Stokes Associates' role was to attend task force meetings and advise the <br /> members about different approaches to growth control. This responsibility involved <br /> researching growth control ordinances enacted in other cities, preparing summary reports <br /> to the task force, and making presentations at task force meetings. Jones & Stokes <br /> Associates guided the task force in its search for a legally defensible growth management <br /> system and prepared the policies for a growth management element of the city general plan. <br /> The recommended growth management program received unanimous recommendation of <br /> the planning commission and will be included in the city's general plan update as a growth <br /> management element. <br /> V-1 <br />
