Analysis Traffic/Circulation The Department of Public Works reviewed the project, as well as its potential impacts on existing Levels of Service for.roadway segments and intersections in the area, and determined that it would not result in significant, adverse traffic impacts. Facilities/Services The City of Lodi has a sewer line located on the north side of Harney Lane, less than 200 feet from the project site; however, Lodi has indicated that service will not be provided outside of the City. Because the City will not provide public wastewater disposal and because the proposed use is a new use rather than an expansion of an existing use, the golf driving range will be permitted to utilize an on-site septic system, subject to securing an approved soil suitability study. Section 9-1120.2(i) of the Development Title states that development projects using existing structures must be served by a public water system if there is such a system located within 200 feet of the nearest property line. Because the City will not provide public water and because the proposed use will take place within a new structure rather than an existing one, the golf driving range will be permitted to utilize an on-site water system, subject to meeting Public Health Services' well standards. Storm water runoff generated by the use will be retained on the site. A retention pond will not be required because the 12-acre project site is large enough to naturally percolate the storm water runoff that is generated by the project's impervious surfaces. Lig h� ting The applicant's proposal includes the installation of overhead lighting to permit nighttime operation of the driving range. Because the 12-acre project site is located in the middle of a 30-acre parcel and because the driving range is not aligned toward either Harney Lane or West Lane, the installation of overhead lighting is not expected to adversely affect surrounding property owners, adjacent land uses, or drivers on either of the two adjacent public roadways. The recommended Conditions of Approval, however, include the requirement that the lighting comply with the Development Title's Performance Standards for light and glare and that lighting details be included on the Improvement Plan. Neighborhood Compatibility One letter was received in response to the application referral for this project. The letter writers, who own the parcel directly south of the project site, stated that the driving range should be surrounded by a seven-foot-high fence to keep golf balls on the site and to prevent trespass onto their farm land. They also expressed the concern that their farming operations in the future might be curtailed due to the presence of the driving range. San Jcaquin Counr/ UP-94-8/Fink Communitv Development Page 5
