RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Information only, no action required.
Overview Summary:
Ceres is an emerging community with a population of around 49,302, reflecting a steady growth since 2021 according to the latest US Census data. The average age of Ceres residents is 32 with a promising median household income of $76,862. This is slight increase from 2021. These figures highlight a thriving local economy and an attractive demographic profile for both residential and commercial investment opportunities. For 2024, Ceres has seen 368 new business applications submitted; there are currently more than 2,000 active businesses, with only 325 of these employing fewer than 5 people.
The Economic Development Department has increased its business engagement and r
etention efforts in the community, with a focus on recruitment efforts for vacant buildings in the Downtown area and for vacant lots in the surrounding area.
Focus on Recruitment and Retention:
Staff is actively engaging businesses and property owners to enhance the local economy.
The focus is on recruiting businesses to fill vacant buildings and lots, ensuring these spaces contribute to the community’s growth and development.
ITEM A
Developer and Property Owner Engagement:
Staff are meeting with developers and property owners to assess the potential of site for future projects. These discussions involve exploring opportunities for revitalizing vacant spaces and/or repurposing existing structures for new uses.
Collaboration with Local Organizations:
Staff is working closely with local organizations, attending meetings and partnering with various organization to plan of events. This collaboration helps build stronger community ties and fosters an environment that supports local businesses.
Business Retention and Outreach:
This year staff successfully reached out to 118 established businesses within the city.
We offered support and helped connect business owners with various resources, while also identifying key trends, such as addressing issues related to unhoused individuals.
We engaged with 96 new businesses that applied for their business licenses, utilizing welcome emails and letters, along with in- person si te visits, to foster positive relationships. Moving forward, we will maintain our open-door policy with businesses and continue to strengthen our support and communication efforts.
Business Attraction:
This year, our efforts in business attraction focused on engaging with potential developers at the ICSC event and following up with calls. Over the past twelve months, we have reached out to 77 prospective developers and businesses, ranging from small enterprises like Yogurt Mill, to large franchises such as Inspire, Sonic, Chick -fil-a, Bloomin Brands, Crave, Stapleton Group, Lockehouse, and Kosmont, among others.
We will continue our outreach to engage in productive conversations with businesses and developers, as well as connecting with property managers of vacant lots in Ceres.
In addition to attracting new businesses, we are providing traffic flow data analysis as a valuable resource to enhance Ceres’s visibility in the market. Our traffic cameras at major intersections have captured an impressive flow, highlighting the commercial potential for many areas in Ceres. Despite our population size, Ceres boasts four major intersections that experience nearly 4 million vehicle trips, showcasing significant local and visiting trips to our City. This comprehensive traffic data underscores the desirability of these locations for businesses that depend on high visibility and easy customer access, ultimately contributing to our economic vitality.
Some important trip statistics for just the month of December ar e below:
• 1,518,777 vehicles passed through the Hatch and Mitchell Road intersection. • 1,377,480 vehicles passed through the Hatch and Herndon Road intersection. • 1,254,239 vehicles passed through the Whitmore and Mitchell Road intersection. • 1,041,050 vehicles passed through the Service and Mitchell Road intersection ITEM A
Events and Community Engagement:
• Staff attended ten grand openings and five ribbon cutting ceremonies at the below businesses to support and celebrate local business growth:
o Ceres Family Dental
o Flawless Suites
o AM/PM
o Nick the Greek
o Tractor Supply
o 76 gas station
o Doghouse Taproom
o El Tarasco Snacks
o Cupcake Boutique
o Tortilla
o Food Truck vendors
o Tuscany Village
o Grub Hub
o Smyrna Park
o Ochoa Park
Community events like Love Ceres, the Ceres Street Fair, and Concerts in the Park continue to engage residents and raise awareness of our C ity, downtown, and small businesses.
In addition to these events, economic development initiatives have established several community courses for the first part of 2025.These courses include a six-week cohort on business entrepreneurship in partnership with Stanislaus Equity Partners, and a workshop focused on improving credit and managing debt supported by Chase Bank.
There will also be an opportunity for electricians seeking state certification to attend a two-day seminar sponsored by a local business. Additionally, we are collaborating with the Employment Development Department (EDD) for an annual job fair this fall.
Development and Future Growth:
Staff has identified 98 vacant parcels in our city with great potential for industrial, commercial, or housing development. In the past month, we've successfully reached out to 22 property owners to discuss development opportunities. Our team is committed to gathering resources and prioritizing manufacturing and family entertainment, while also collaborating closely with the Planning Division to address housing needs.
The Economic Development Division will continue to focus on how to provide business incentives to new and future businesses and will continue with connecting small businesses (those with fewer than 5 employees) with community support, as this remains a key priority. This initiative reflects a comprehensive approach to retaining existing businesses, attracting new ones, and developing community programs that benefit both residents and businesses in Ceres.

SUBJECT:
Reso 2025-XXX, Approving Amendment No. 1 with SNS Automation for the Public Works Department SCADA Systems Integration and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Amendment
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends City Council approve Amendment No. 1 with SNS Automation for services and maintenance of the Public Works Department SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Systems for $115.00/hour or an amount not to exceed $17 5,000.00 annually with the option to renew for three (3) additional terms of one (1) year each and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment.
I. BACKG ROUND:
A SCADA system is designed to help monitor and control a variety of systems, including well sites, well site generators, irrigation systems, Wastewater Treatment sites, and pumps. They give us the ability to monitor and make changes remotely.
It is required by the State Water Board to monitor each well, and SCADA keeps the C ity in compliance with the regulations. The SCADA system makes it possible to diagnose and monitor problems before they become costly emergencies. If a critical problem does occur, SCADA will alert the on -call employee by phone. The employee can then take immediate action instead of discovering the problem possibly hours or days later.
II. RE
ASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIO N:
SNS Automation is currently performing service and maintenance of the SCADA systems for the City of Ceres . The three (3) year contract agreement with SNS Automation will expire on February 14 , 2025, with the option to renew for three (3) additional one-year terms.
ITEM 6
{CW130180.1}
Staff recommends SNS Automation as they can provide all services within the scope of work as requested. The Automation Engineer for SNS Automation has been operating our existing system for several years and to maintain the consistency, we are recommending SNS Automation to continue this contract.
III. F
ISCAL IMPACTS :
All funds for SCADA Maintenance and Service are allocated in the annual operating budgets for the Water and Wastewater account numbers 52735. 029900 and 56725.029900. Expenditures for this project will not exceed $115.00/hour plus a 15% materials markup or an amount not to exceed $175,000.00 annually.
IV. E
XISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN :
Ensure that the community has adequate, well-maintained infrastructure (including water, sewer, streets, traffic signals, parks, sidewalks, facilities) that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.
V. P
OLICY ALTERNATIVES :
If the City Council decides not to renew the agreement with SNS Automation for the services and maintenance of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, it poses significant risks. The lack of monitoring at well sites and sewer lift stations jeopardizes operational safety and compliance, directly violating State Water Board regulations. This decision could lead to serious regulatory, environmental, and public safety consequences.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 202 5-XXX, Approving Project Amendment No.2 with Provost and Pritchard Consulting Group for the Professional Services Contract to Develop Well 22 Granular Activated Carbon Treatment Vessels, Authorizing a Budget Amendment to Allocate Funds, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the
Amendment
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff recommends the City Council to approve Project Amendment No.2 with Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group for the Professional Services C ontract to Develop Well 22 GAC Treatment Vessels, authorizing a Budget Amendment to allocate funds and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Amendment.
I. BACKGROUND:
Wel
l 22, located at 1921 Rockefeller Ave, is capable of producing 1,300 gallons per minute at 55 psi. Water currently produced from Well 22 contains 10- 29 pCi/L uranium.
Well 22 water is treated by ion exchange with side-stream blending to meet State Water Resources Control Board Title 22 Drinking Water Standards to consistently and reliably maintain treated water uranium concentrations of less than 16 pCi/L. The ion exchange treatment system is comprised of five pressure vessels loaded with DOW Dowex 1 strong base anion exchange resin for uranium removal. Well 22 also exceeds the primary maximum contaminant level (MCL) of .005 parts per billion (ug/L) for Synthetic Organic Contaminant 1,2,3,-Trichloropropane (1,2,3- TCP) so Granular Activated Carbon treatment is required.
A prof
essional services contract to design Well 22 GAC vessels to treat MCL for 1,2,3- TCP including construction support services was awarded by City Council to Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group on November 22, 2021, Resolution 2021-119 for an amount of $70,800.00.
ITEM 7
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The original project scope provided by the consulting group Provost & Pritchard for Well 22 includes the installation of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment vessels on an at-grade foundation, along with above- and below-grade piping, concrete work, and site fencing. The scope also includes construction support services to facilitate the project.
Due to changes in the project scope, as well as field modifications, additional construction support services are required. These include addressing RFIs (Requests for Information) and ensuring the timely approval of equipment and material submittals. Provost & Pritchard will provide these additional services for a total amount of $11,000.00. For further details, please refer to Attachment C, Exhibit A III. F
ISCAL IMPACTS :
As a result of a scope change, staff recommends increasing Provost & Pritchard Consulting Group’s professional services contract by $11,000.00. To accommodate this increase, a budget amendment, attached hereto, will need to be processed.
Staff is requesting the allocation of $11,000.00 from the Water E-WTR2211-Design Fund (52795.800500) to cover this additional cost.
IV. E
XISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN :
To e nsure that the community has adequate, well maintained infrastructure (including water, sewer, streets, traffic signals, parks, sidewalks, facilities) that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.
V. P
OLICY ALTERNATIVES:
The alternative to this proposal is to forgo additional construction support services provided by the project consultant, which could result in delays in responding to RFIs and approving submittals, potentially jeopardizing the timely completion of the project.

SUBJECT: Direction on Setback and Accessory Building/Structure Regulations Related to Carports
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
S
taff recommends the City Council review the City’s setback and accessory building/structure regulations in the single-family residential zoning district and consider forming a subcommittee to review the City’s current requirements and make recommendations for future development standards for accessory buildings/structures in the front and corner side setback area.
I. BACKGRO UND:
At the October 28, 2024 City Council meeting, six members of the public spoke during public comment about carports and the City’s restriction on such structures in the front and exterior side setback areas of a property. Four of the speakers received a Notice of Violation from Code Enforcement for an illegally constructed carport in either the front or side corner setback area. Councilmember Martinez made a referral to review the carport ordinance to see if anything could be done to help legalize carports in the front and corner side setback area to avoid the Code Enforcement violations and to avoid having to have the property owners remove these structures.
At the November 25, 2024 City Council meeting, Councilmember Martinez received consensus to have staff review the current carport ordinance and form a subcommittee to develop potential carport standards for the City.
The following report will go through the specific carport regulations, the history of recent citations, and will offer next steps which include options to rescind the ordinance, modify the ordinance, freeze citations pending a final decision on applicable carport regulations, and includes discussion about a subcommittee to evaluate various development standard options to bring back as potential recommendations to the Council for a future ordinance.
ITEM 8
Current City Ordinance
The City does not have a specific carport ordinance. Rather, the City has set development standards for buildings and structures and accessory buildings and structures that a property owner must adhere to when constructing something new on their property.
These development standards dictate certain front, side, corner side, and rear setbacks that a new building/structure must meet when being sited on a property. A setback is universally accepted to be defined as the required distance a building/structure must be positioned away from a property line. More specifically, Title 18, Chapter 2 Definitions, Section 18.02.010 of the Ceres Municipal Code defines the front setback line as the line which defines the depth of the required front yard. In the R -1 Single Family Residential Zone, Section 18.08.060 states that the front yard setback is a minimum of 20 feet for the main structure, and 35 feet for a detached accessory structure. This code section goes on to say that no accessory structure/building shall be located within the front yard or exterior side yard area (corner side) of a single-family lot.
Figure 1: Setbacks
The above diagram identifies the 20- foot front setback, the 15- foot exterior or “corner side” setback, and the 5-foot interior side setback that the zoning ordinance requires for buildings in the R -1 zoning district. Any accessory building/structure must be 10 feet further setback beyond the above front setback line shown above. An accessory building/structure is not allowed in the exterior side setback area at all. Also, Section
18.08.060 provides height limitations of no greater than two stories or 25 feet for the main building, or one story or 15 feet for an accessory structure.
The below definitions and the setback requirements of the R-1 zoning district essentially create the parameters for carport construction in the City of Ceres.
Title 18, Chapter 2 Definitions, Section 18.02.010 provides definitions for the following terms:
ITEM 8
Building, structure: Any structure built and maintained for the support, shelter, or enclosure of persons, animals, or property of any kind. No building shall be located within any future right-of-way or public easement established by authority of the City Council in the manner prescribed by law.
Structure: Anything constructed or built, any edifice or building of any kind, or any piece of work artificially built up or composed of parts, joined together in some definite manner, which requires location on the ground or is attached to something having a location on the ground, including swimming and wading pools and patios, excepting outdoor areas such as paved areas, walks, tennis courts and similar recreation components.
Carport: A permanent roofed structure with two fully enclosed sides or less to be used for automobile shelter and automobile storage.
Accessory Structure/Building: A structure/building which occupies a portion of a lot, whether attached or detached, and which is subordinate to or incidental to the principal use on the same lot. Such structures/buildings shall include, but are not limited to: patio covers, metal, fabric or wooden structures that cover a vehicle or a recreational vehicle, arbors or trellises, sheds, detached garages, cabanas, workshops, covered or uncovered decks, accessory dwelling unit and similar structures (i.e. pop- up tent or easy up tent structures). No accessory structure/building of any size shall be located within the front yard or exterior side yard area of a single- family residential lot. Accessory structures/buildings may be located within the side yard or rear yard areas of a single- family residential lot provided such structures comply with the applicable setback requirements and if said structures have been legally permitted by the City.
Building, attached: Any two or more buildings closer than six inches together or physically adjoined in some way. Garages shall be considered attached if the roof structure is continuous with the building adjacent to it.
Based on these definitions, a carport is considered a building under the municipal code as it is built to shelter property (i.e. a car or RV). Since a carport is a building, it may not be located in a public easement (like a public utility easement). A carport is also considered a structure if it is permanent (anchored to the ground, not removable). The code specifically defines a carport, so those structures that cover an automobile are not only buildings or structures, they are by definition, a carport. If the structure covers something else, like a boat, it may not be a carport by definition, but it is an accessory structure by definition, which is not permitted to be located in the front or exterior side setback at this time. Carports and other detached accessory structures are subject to the 35-foot setback requirement as an accessory structure per the setback requirement listed above. If a carport is not attached to the main home, but is closer than 6 inches away from the home, it meets the definition of an attached structure, and may adhere to the 20 foot setback requirement.
Carport and Setback Regul
ations in Other Cities
The City of Ceres has similar setback requirements and accessory structure requirements as the other jurisdictions within Stanislaus County. The setback regulations and any applicable accessory building regulations for each city and Stanislaus County are attached to this staff report as Attachment A for your review. A common theme amongst each city in Stanislaus County is an open and clear front and corner side setback. The ITEM 8
distances may very in some cities by five feet, but all cities in Stanislaus County do require front and exterior side setbacks to be free and clear of structures.
In an email communication with all of the Planning Directors in the County, each reiterated that they enforce a front and exterior side setback to maintain visual consistencies in neighborhoods, clear views for safety, avoidance of public utilities and future public right- of-way, and to promote an aesthetically pleasing streetscape.
History of Recent Code Enforcement Violations
There are currently four open Code Enforcement cases related to carports. The property owners at these locations have not received monetary citations at this time. The Code Enforcement officer provided a written warning and stated that the homeowner would need to remove the illegal structure in the front and exterior side setback areas or modify the structure to current code standards.
In a typical Code Enforcement case, officers are called to a location due to a neighbor complaint. Code Enforcement does not actively look for code violations to give individuals citations. When the code violation is easy to identify, like a structure in the front setback, the Code Enforcement Officer will issue a Notice of Violation and direct the individual to come into the Community Development Department to determine how to rectify the code violation. At that point, a Planner will provide the homeowner with direction on how to fix the violation. Code Enforcement gives property owners about 10 days to show progress toward remedying the violation. Visiting Planning, getting appropriate plans submitted to permit a structure, or hiring an individual to remove a structure will typically stave off a monetary fine. However, if the property owner takes no action to remedy the violation, Code Enforcement will issue a monetary fine per the municipal code until the violation is corrected.
In the case of the four carport violations on file, as well as one homeowner who has not been issued a violation notice but has been made aware of their illegal structure, the tolling period for the notice of violations have been unofficially tolled until the Council can determined how to move forward. The Council can decide to suspend the Notice of Violations until a subcommittee can determine appropriate development standards for carports. The Council will have to provide direction to Code Enforcement on how to deal with other reported carport violations until the subcommittee can meet to determine development standards for such structures.
Next Steps
Councilmember Martinez suggested forming a subcommittee to develop regulations for carports in the front and exterior side setback area of a property. These regulations will need to create development standards for height, material, size, location, and anchoring standards.
It is important to note that the recommendations of the subcommittee may still render some of the carports infeasible/illegal. Many of the carports that are under a Notice of Violation are currently located in a public utility easement which would be unac ceptable to those utility providers given the nature of what goes into an easement. Some of the carports inhibit the line of site for neighbors which poses a safety risk, and may not be something that the subcommittee can support. Some of the carports are excessively tall ITEM 8
and may not conform to the desire of the committee. The material of some of the carports may not conform to potential material recommendations of the subcommittee. The ability to keep the carports in question will be based on the subcommittee’s recommendation and the Council’s support of those recommendations.
Once the development standards are determined by the subcommittee and voted on by the Council, those that still don’t conform to the requirements will need to be removed.
Those that do conform to the new standards, and are over 120 square feet, should be required to obtain a building permit from the Building Department. The homeowner will need to apply for a permit and have the structure inspected by a building inspector to ensure it is properly constructed and secured to avoid injury to the public.
II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
:
Staff is not making a recommendation at this time.
III. FISCAL IMPACTS:
Freezing or forgiving fines will be result in no immediate fiscal impact, other than delay or eliminate the ability of the city to recover administrative costs assessed as part of the City’s fine schedule. loss of revenue to the City. The legalization of carports that are greater than 120 square feet in size may result in additional Building Permit fees for the City.
