Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update

Workshops 9 and 10 (Draft General Plan) Summary

July 30 and 31, 2018

On July 30 and 31, 2018, the City of Stockton hosted two workshops for community members to review

the Draft Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan and provide feedback. The draft goals and policies were

presented at four stations: Land Use, Transportation, Safety, and Community Health. A fifth station

provided information about the City’s adopted Housing Element, and some additional programs to

consider to work towards the City’s housing-related goals. Community members were invited to visit

each station and share feedback to present to the Planning Commission and City Council as they

consider the Draft General Plan for adoption.

The comments received at the workshops are provided below. The written comment cards are provided

as Attachment A.

Land Use

Merlo Gym Comments:

Goal LU-2: How can we protect existing commercial property/businesses from displacement?

Increased investment can lead to rent increases for fledgling businesses.

Keep businesses local-owned; limit chain retail.

Golf course needs to be turned into public space.

Arnold Rue Comments:

General Plan needs to be more specific about housing north of 8 Mile Road would only be

consider AFTER a major economic engine is secured for the area.

Very concerned about the economic/education enterprise area being expanded to 3,500 acres

and the proposed 26,000 housing units. This is contrary to the premise of an otherwise excellent

general plan: to focus on infill and providing resources to existing neighborhoods.

The City needs to ensure that the pattern of development can be supported by infrastructure &

service networks before planning outside the existing city limit (page 3-21). Yes!

Promote infill with incentives.

More specifics as to how ag land will be preserved.

Support local ag; preserve ag land. Policy CH-1.3.

Need a hospital in S Stockton.

Need action/policy to make design guidelines into requirements because they are not currently

followed.

Jobs/jobs/jobs

Action LU-4.1a: Streamline project review. What criteria area used to evaluate whether or not a

project would deserve a streamlined review?

Action LU-4.2a: Who decides what the focus of the business attraction efforts will be? Is this City

policy?

Policy LU-6.5 & Action LU-6.5a: Plan requires preparation of fiscal impact analysis. GP here

should include statement that unless costs are met, development should be denied.

Attachment A

11

2

Residential development does NOT pay for service costs to the City. This fact should be included

in the fiscal health section.

Policy LU-6.5: Improve & maintain the City’s fiscal health. Can a project be denied if it does not

prove economically feasible for the City?

Action LU-3.3d: What would necessitate a review of the Development Impact Fee?

Action LU-6.3a: Require development to mitigate any impact to existing sewer, water, library

infrastructure that would reduce service levels. What does this mean? How can these be

mitigated?

Maintain parks, trees, waterways. My Bay friends continually ask “who’s in charge of

maintenance in Stockton?”

Park/Rec needs to take pride in its parks.

Ensure a library (at least one, but more would be better) in the northern part of town.

Does City zoning allow libraries in residential areas?

Institutional: Includes libraries under this designation. Can libraries be near residents?

Public libraries: Have library locations and the needs for libraries in under-served areas been

studied? (p 6.8)

Policy CH-2.1: Other infrastructure in underserved areas. Does this include libraries?

City included in Delta National Heritage Area?

Transportation

Merlo Gym Comments:

Park & Oak or El Dorado & Center one-ways to two-ways? Or slowing traffic down/increasing

walkability.

Affordable housing needs:

o Speed bumps

o Speed limit signs

o Crosswalks

o Stop signs

o Street signs

o Streets are City-governed

Preparing for electric vehicles – there needs to be a plan for “plug in” recharge spots along the busy

corridors, malls, entertainment zones and universities/colleges. With SB100 – soon to be voted on –

which gets 100% renewables by 2045 – let’s be a leader in this area.

Add a statement for Stockton to be a leader on promoting electric/hybrid vehicles by funding

charging stations at businesses, high-impact corridors, entertainment & university settings.

Light rails to make commutes to other cities (i.e., the Bay, Sacramento) smoother and lessen traffic

on freeways.

Light rail connect to bus lanes (e.g., blue line Long Beach).

Arnold Rue Comments:

Widen Pershing from Lincoln Road to Hammer Lane.

o Disagree with road widening: increases congestion & emissions.

Action TR-1.1e: Include: stop signs, speed bumps, bike lanes.

Attachment A

12

3

Need to include actions to reduce idling around schools.

Doesn’t talk about or use the words “complete streets.”

o Should incorporate complete streets facilities at the time of road

construction/improvement.

Need action to require bike parking in new/redevelopment.

Safety

Merlo Gym Comments:

Provide and use existing cameras on public streets and parks, and monitor them. Cadets can be

used (lower salary).

Arnold Rue Comments:

Economic and Education Enterprise designation is in a major flood zone; shouldn’t allow

development in the floodplain.

Should not allow development north of Eight Mile Road.

Need to recognize the City’s role as a Groundwater Sustainability Agency.

Community Health

Merlo Gym Comments:

Food desert in South/West Stockton.

Address anti-displacement or other ways to protect existing residents.

George Washington Elementary is inundated with industrial pollution!!

How will we reduce pollution in the poor air quality areas?

o Not just stop adding more.

Encourage and develop renewable/electric vehicle business.

Advocate for cleaner vehicles (i.e., hybrid/electric cars).

Arnold Rue Comments:

Reach out/solicit business to provide youth recreation

o We grew, but lost roller skating, miniature golf, waterslide

Libraries and schools are central to learning, but GP gives short shrift to the City’s sole

responsibility for education: libraries.

Policy CH-3.4: Foster innovation through access to quality community education & library

services… BUT – no mention of libraries in any action!

Pershing Ave “freeway” – Divides the neighborhood, making it impossible to access the Victory

Park and Museum. Young people need safe crossing access. Bring back the crosswalks, monitor

the speed (it’s a 30 mph zone!). Make it a City street conducive to neighbors and community.

SHOULD NOT BE A HIGHWAY.

Bike lanes/recreational facilities at Victory Park! (i.e., Victory Park Pool! Has been left empty for

8 years)

Healthy waterways:

o Smith Canal at Legion Park – clean it up/maintain it.

Attachment A

13

4

o Downtown Marina! It’s a jewel. Maintain it!

More emphasis on ensuring quality accessible health services for all residents is needed.

Need to include policies/actions to reduce idling around schools.

Need community-driven air monitoring.

Policy CH-5.1: How so if the Climate Action Committee hasn’t been meeting?

Why does the GP’s Cal Enviroscreen Map have green on it? There is no green in Stockton.

Housing

Merlo Gym Comments:

Why not a mix of densities in South Stockton?

Require commercial/office developers to build housing.

City support/subsidy, fee waivers for higher-density affordable housing on re-developed lots

(e.g., motel sites).

Require rent stabilization/just cause for eviction in new development’s affordable portion, and

require units to be available to current tenants instead of displacement.

Arnold Rue Comments:

Need immediate solutions for homelessness: tent city.

Find a way to OK small houses.

Rent stabilization/just cause for eviction: SUPPORT… there must be a just reason to evict

tenants.

Do we have policies in effect that strongly encourage the building of low income housing?

Housing Element has consistently focused on need – but we still don’t have this land of housing.

Why is only a “feasibility study” recommended re inclusionary housing? We need a stronger

statement.

Policy CH-4.1 and Action CH-4.B: Conduct a study to explore the feasibility of inclusionary

housing requirements. This was in the 2008 GP and we still have no study. One could have been

completed in the last 10 years. Time to DO IT.

Promote more infill with incentives.

Other General Comments

Merlo Gym Comments:

It would be nice to see some type of attachment/table that shows who is responsible for

implementing each policy (similar to Richmond’s GP).

Arnold Rue Comments:

Need mechanism to enforce policies and actions.

Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update

Workshops 11 ,12, and 13 (Draft General Plan) Summary

August 20, 22, and 29, 2018

On August 20, 22, and 29, 2018, the City of Stockton hosted workshops for community members to

review the Draft Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan and provide feedback. The draft goals and policies

were presented at four stations: Land Use, Transportation, Safety, and Community Health. A fifth station

provided information about the City’s adopted Housing Element, and some additional programs to

consider to work towards the City’s housing-related goals. Community members were invited to visit

each station and share feedback to present to the Planning Commission and City Council as they

consider the Draft General Plan for adoption.

The comments received at the workshops are provided below. The written comment cards are provided

as Attachment A.

Land Use

Van Buskirk Comments:

Developing specific plans in older neighborhoods around town, for example Main St. corridor.

Expand densities (units/acre) outside of greater downtown.

Stribley Comments:

City needs to take back the fairgrounds and hold more community events.

Downtown- need healthy food store!

Don’t displace Rancho San Miguel grocery in South Stockton.

Land use, transportation, safety, and community health, was it these “chapters” that decided

where the new “enterprise” would be placed? (in northern Stockton) If so, may we see the charts

used by the “chapters”?

Goal LU-2 – Include / encourage social service agencies (in addition to entertainment, retail), to

ensure an intentional focus on disadvantaged/homeless people.

Development without displacement.

Goal LU-4 – Ensure inclusive strategies for low-income/low-education communities to access

jobs! Need a racial/ethnic disparities lens re: improving employment opportunities and new

business development.

Ownership and transfer of wealth – generationally.

More black representation.

Julia Morgan Comments:

Keep all land north of Eight Mile Road agriculture.

Focus housing in developed areas using infill or retrofit the suburbs to increase density; don’t

build north of Eight Mile Road.

Attachment A

Transportation

Van Buskirk Comments:

Bicycle Path (existing) lacks, not safe on Manthey Rd between 8th St. southbound towards Food

for Less.

Stickers, goat heads is problem for bicyclists. (This refers to a type of plant)

Motorists blow horns when bicycles are in their way and even yell out derogatory words, etc.

Some people travel to and from work on bikes; I feel that laws should be stiffened for motorist to

respect people on bikes.

Transit does not go where I want to be.

Need more bike racks in store parking lots.

Stribley Comments:

How is traffic being addressed in the General Plan?

Prioritize Safe Routes to School.

Consistency with City bike plan, streets plan.

Bring back “Rail System” Downtown and make it free.

Julia Morgan Comments:

Complete Streets policies and implementation wherever possible.

Explore/discuss Vision Zero principles.

Implement the BMP (Best Management Practices)! :)

Safety

Van Buskirk Comments:

No comments received.

Stribley Comments:

More black representation.

SAF-1.1 – Less policing, more community based alternatives. Diversion and alternative to

incarceration.

SAF-1.3 – Ensure community managed spaces and facilities.

SAF-4 – Urban forestry.

Julia Morgan Comments:

No comments received.

Community Health

Van Buskirk Comments:

Provide green trees/landscaping along streets/parks/open space.

Provide public libraries/schools/medical offices at southwest of Stockton.

Attachment A

22

3

Stribley Comments:

Action 1.2C – Change (or add) “lack access” to “food deserts.”

Action 1.2D – Include “low income communities and facilitate access to healthy food.”

Action CH2.2B – Define “health care.”

Policy CH1.3 – Issues with water access for gardens; ensure access to appropriate infrastructure to

support access to water.

Goal 1 – Urban greening and air quality encourage and commit to urban greening.

Equity in all health policies with emphasis on reinvestment (bottom up strategy). Racial/ethnic

disparities.

o Resource and funding re-allocation.

Infrastructure analysis limited by indicators listed in plan re: Cal Enviro Index, more of a health

impact assessment, facilitated by community. CBPR/YPAR. Ex. Built environment, literacy and

other quality of life factors (life expectancy).

Sustainable leadership- authentic representation of communities most impacted (i.e., youth,

seniors, and people of color).

Julia Morgan Comments:

Replenish urban forest (I support air quality) and add additional street trees.

Housing

Van Buskirk Comments:

Diverse socioeconomic housing supply downtown; consider maximum percentage affordable (as

well as minimum). [per 4,400 units total]

Identify locations for homeless transition housing- maybe consolidated geographically to support

law enforcement?

Promote high-end housing downtown – vision – midtown Sac.

Stribley Comments:

Number of absentee speculators/owners/investors who do not live in Stockton. Need to do

analysis re: ownership and transfer of wealth generationally.

Housing assistance – increase advocacy and support / social services.

Homeless taskforce – equity in representation to ensure authentic representation by

disadvantaged communities.

Julia Morgan Comments:

#1 Table 3-3 Please breakdown what is north Eight Mile and what is south of Eight Mile.

Please explain how housing, including north of Eight Mile Road, will not be subject to Housing

Accountability Act.

Add renter protections for residents (especially as Bay Area housing continues to create renewed

pressure on rental rates/availability).
