C. The City encourages compact development and discourages leapfrog development and <br /> urban sprawl within the Highway 12/Interstate 5 corridor, all of which would be inconsistent with <br /> the above general plan goals. The City's General Plan is committed to the above goals within its <br /> own boundaries as well, stating the following: <br /> a. A-5 The City shall require speck development plans in areas of major new <br /> development. <br /> b. E-2 The City shall promote downtown Lodi as the primary pedestrian-oriented, <br /> commercial area of Lodi. <br /> C. EA The City shall ensure the new commercial development be designed to <br /> avoid the appearance of strip development. <br /> d. E-7 In approving new commercial projects, the City shall seek to ensure that <br /> such projects reflect the City's concern for achieving and maintaining high quality <br /> development. <br /> D. Providing wastewater treatment service to Flag City on the condition that service not be <br /> afforded to developments that conflict with the goals set forth herein furthers those goals by <br /> concentrating development in an existing County Service Area with set boundaries. <br /> E. County acknowledges the goals set forth in the Lodi General Plan as set forth above, and <br /> has similar provisions in its General Plan which encourage agricultural uses, compact land use <br /> and development, and discourage "leapfrog development" and "urban sprawl." Toward these <br /> ends, the County General Plan provides: <br /> 1. To make efficient use of land and promote a functional development pattern with <br /> varied and compatible land uses. <br /> 2. To minimize the effect on agricultural lands and other environmental resources <br /> while providing for orderly growth. <br /> 3. To create a visually attractive County_ <br /> 4. To avoid the problems and costs imposed on local government by development <br /> that does not have adequate services. <br /> 5.
