Seemingly invoking the rule of grow or die, Stockton and Lodi communities continued to expand over agricultural land during 1980-81. Swelling that expansion, an unexpected flood of Indochinese students arrived in Lodi Unified School District in early September. The influx equaled more than one- sixth of the district's new enrollment. Most were from North Stockton neighborhoods, which received the largest number of refugees in the county at a peak rate of 220 per month. Positive and negative results were reported in crime statistics for the Stockton and Lodi areas. Stockton could have been named the crime capital of California in 1980. It contributed to 71 percent of seven major crime categories in San Joaquin County. The highest crime increase in any category, 21.6 percent over 1979, was also reported. By contrast, Stockton, four years ago, was chosen seven- th among 10 mid-size towns as the Best in the West, according to a magazine survey. Lodi reported crimes in eight major categories were up 5.9 per- cent over 1979 and arrests for the same period down 4.4 percent. Lesser offense crimes, such as ar- son and property damage, were down 4.6 percent while arrests in those areas were up 5.6 percent. Lodi construction was strong during February. The 354.9 million worth of building value warranted by 45 building permits marked the largest monthly volume since April 1980. Added shopping centers were planned or were enveloped in con- struction that month. A K-Mart shoping center, located on 16 acres between South Cherokee and Highway 99, was estimated to be a S3 million project. K-Mart itself had its value set at 82.3 million. When it was announced that a K- Mart was to locate in Lodi, a commercial real estate firm predicted that several national and regional chain stores would take a second look at Lodi as a possible expansion site. Overcrowding in LUSD had caused trustees to seek aid from developers for several years. In early 1981, the Barnett-Range Corporation and Cook Sz john In- vestment Properties informed the district of their willingness to pay a fee to provide housing for students created by their developments in North Stockton, which they wished would not be delayed any longer. The develop- ment fees were approved by trustees on March 17. The agreements provided compen- sation of S250 per bedroom direc- tly to the district to build classrooms to soften the impact of new students. The agreements replaced the bedroom tax plan which was stalled in the courts. Advocates of two developing plans attempted to guide the growth of Lodi. The Green Belt Initative, if qualified for an April 1982 ballot and approved by voters would give the electorate of Lodi veto power over future an- nexation of land to the city. For- ces for the anti-growth plan collec- ted 1,700 to 2,000 signatures bet- ween December 16 and February 5, which was more than enough to place it on the ballot. The Green Belt group argued that badly needed land would be ruined if it was developed urbanly. Opposing the Green Belt Initiative was the Grderly Growth Initiative which collected 1,000 signatures by early February, and attempts were still continuing into the spring.
