1. Population Assumption/Target Q. What population should the new General Plan assume for 2025

1. Population Assumption/Target Q. What population should the new General Plan assume for 2025 and 2050? ü 1. Use SJCOG’s 2025 projection (2 percent annual growth) and extend SJCOG’s 2 percent rate to 2050. 2. Use SJCOG’s 2025 projection but assume a lower rate (1. 5 percent) between 2025 and 2050. 3. Assume a 1. 5 percent growth rate for both 2025 and 2050. 4. Assume a 2. 3 percent growth rate for both 2025 and 2050. (2000 – 2003 growth rate for Stockton) 5. Assume a 3. 5 percent growth rate for the first five years, 2. 75 percent for the next five years, and 2. 0 percent through 2050. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

1. Population Assumption/Target con’t Q. What population should the new General Plan assume for 2025 and 2050? ü 1. Use SJCOG’s 2025 projection (2 percent annual growth) and extend SJCOG’s 2 percent rate to 2050. Recommendation: The Preferred Land Use Alternative will be based on Option 1 (two percent growth) which would have a total population of 663, 000 by the year 2050. The Preferred Land Use Alternative has an estimated holding capacity of 699, 000 at this time, and will be further refined as the process progresses. NOTE: According to recently released Dept. of Finance projections, San Joaquin County is now projected to have a 2050 population of 1. 7 million. Using the historic population ratio between the City and the County (43. 5%), this would estimate a City population potential of up to 743, 000 by 2050. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

2. Residential Development Patterns Q. What form should new residential development take? 1. Follow

2. Residential Development Patterns Q. What form should new residential development take? 1. Follow current subdivision residential patterns. ü 2. Organize new residential development in neighborhood units. Recommendation: Based on dialog with the City Council on April 20, 2004, the Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Plan will be based on a village concept in which new neighborhood units (prototype assumes 10, 000 population) will include a mix of single family and multifamily development and a village center at the core made up of neighborhood commercial, higher density housing, schools, and civic open space (Option 2). City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

3. Balance Between SF/MF Residential Q. What mix between single family and multi-family housing

3. Balance Between SF/MF Residential Q. What mix between single family and multi-family housing should Stockton try to achieve in new residential development? ü 1. Maintain the current mix (i. e. , 70% sf/30% mf) 2. Increase the proportion of multi-family in new residential development (i. e. , 65% sf/35% mf or 60%/40%) Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Plan will maintain the current mix of approximately 70 percent single family to 30 percent multi-family housing (Option 1). City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

4. Infill Versus Expansion Development Q. What is the appropriate balance between infill/recycling development

4. Infill Versus Expansion Development Q. What is the appropriate balance between infill/recycling development in the interior of Stockton and development at the edge? ü 1. Emphasize development at periphery and minimize infill development (20% of maximum potential) ü 2. Plan for moderate infill development (40% of maximum potential) 3. Maximize infill development (60% of maximum potential) Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Alternative contain periphery development (Option 1) but will also include infill of 6, 670 units (approximately 40% of the potential units) during the 45 -year timeframe of the General Plan (Option 2). This infill estimate includes development within the existing city limits, not just in the central core of Stockton. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

5. Open Space Buffers Q. Should Stockton plan for open space buffers? ü ü

5. Open Space Buffers Q. Should Stockton plan for open space buffers? ü ü 1. Establish a northern buffer 2. Establish an eastern buffer 3. Establish a southern buffer Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Alternative will include a permanent open space buffer along the ultimate northern and eastern edges of the future city (Options 1 and 2). The northern buffer will be defined on its south side by the proposed Urban Services Boundary. The northern boundary of the buffer would be defined by the City of Stockton’s General Plan boundary (Armstrong Road). The City of Lodi may also adopt a buffer between their city limits and SOI boundary, which is Armstrong Road. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

6. Growth Phasing Q. How should Stockton phase growth? ü 1. ü 2. Let

6. Growth Phasing Q. How should Stockton phase growth? ü 1. ü 2. Let market forces determine the sequence. Sequence of growth based on infrastructure financing. 3. Sequence growth based on policy objectives. Recommendation: The Draft General Plan will assume growth will be phased based on a combination of market forces and infrastructure financing capacity (Options 1 and 2). More specifically, the Draft General Plan will assume that growth within the next five to ten years will occur primarily in the northwestern part of the Proposed Urban Services Boundary, where there are larger blocks of land in common ownership, property owners have already begun preparing development plans, and infrastructure is relatively easy to extend. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

7. Circulation Modes Q. What is the appropriate balance of transportation modes for meeting

7. Circulation Modes Q. What is the appropriate balance of transportation modes for meeting future demand? 1. Maintain the current mix of roadways and transit. 2. Plan for increased bus transit services within Stockton. ü 3. Plan for substantially increased transit services, including fixed-guideway transit (such as light rail), within Stockton. Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Plan will provide for a combination of modes including bus rapid transit, perhaps eventually light rail (Option 3). City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

9. Job Growth Q. What employment sectors should Stockton target for expansion and how? ü 1. ü 2. ü 3. Focus on Manufacturing Focus on Office Development Focus on Transportation and Wholesale Distribution Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Alternative are targeted at providing a mix of employment opportunities covering the items for Options 1, 2, and 3, as well as providing the framework to develop new industries. A key to this success will be the City’s active role in the development of employment and training opportunities in the City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

10. New Commercial Development Q. How/where should Stockton plan to provide for new commercial development? ü ü 1. Concentrate commercial development downtown ? 3. City should support viable regional centers that include a mix of commercial and office uses 2. Expand/redevelop existing commercial centers to provide for future expansion opportunities Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Alternative would provide for creation of new commercial office and entertainment opportunities in the downtown (Option 1). The General Plan will also include redevelopment of older commercial areas. Some, like the Wilson Way corridor, will be planned for new high density mixed use redevelopment (Option 2). The General Plan will also provide locations for new regional commercial centers at Eight Mile Road and I-5, at Eight Mile Road and SR 99, at French Camp Road and I-5, and at Arch Road and SR 99 (Option 3). This will be complemented with new neighborhood commercial centers at the heart of planned Village centers. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004

11. Parks and Recreation Q. What ratio of parks to population should be assumed

11. Parks and Recreation Q. What ratio of parks to population should be assumed and what share of community and neighborhood parks should the City pursue? 1.

Meet a standard of 3 acres per 1, 000 for both neighborhood and community parks. 8. Meet NRPA’s standards of 2 acres per 1, 000 for neighborhood parks (29%) and 5 acres per 1, 000 for community parks (71%). 9. Ensure that parkland at all levels (neighborhood, community, and regional) are included in the General Plan. Recommendation: The Draft General Plan and Preferred Land Use Plan will be based on Options 2, 7, and 9. For all new developments, a standard of 5 acres/1, 000 population will be used. At buildout of the General Plan, the overall City park standard will exceed 3 acres/1, 000. City Council/Planning Commission Update June 8, 2004
