Police Chief Hardgraves reported that the Police Department conducted focused traffic enforcement near local schools during the first days of the school year. Officers issued citations and warnings for speeding and stop sign violations and observed that average vehicle speeds declined as enforcement continued.
CM French thanked Police and Public Works staff for assisting with school traffic and stated that the City was developing a traffic enforcement plan to address the long-standing concern around speeding.
He noted that the City had already made strides toward this goal by investing in equipment that allows officers to identify speeds more efficiently, and that Chief was personally working traffic enforcement to supplement staff resources. He stated that they would return to Council with a plan to address the issue.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
5. Adopt Resolution No. 37-26 Adopting the 2023–2031 Housing Element Update, Find the Action Exempt from CEQA Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and Direct Staff to File a Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse
CM French introduced the Housing Element and explained that a separate public hearing (item #6) would follow for the zoning amendments required to implement the document and achieve State certification.
Luke Lindenbusch, 4LEAF, Inc., housing consultant, presented the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. He explained that the Housing Element is the only General Plan element subject to review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and must address housing needs, resources, constraints, fair housing, available sites, and implementation programs. HCD's June 26, 2026 findings letter determined that the document substantially complied with State Housing Element Law, subject to adoption of the related zoning amendments.
The presentation summarized community outreach and survey results, which identified priorities including senior housing, housing choices for first-time buyers and lower price ranges, preservation of Escalon's small-town character, accessory dwelling units, and smaller housing types. The 2023-2031 Housing Element contains five goals addressing viable housing sites, facilitation of housing development, neighborhood preservation and improvement, affordable and accessible housing, and elimination of housing discrimination. Mr. Lindenbusch explained that changes in State law limit the City’s ability to enforce its Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) until at least 2030 and that comments from HCD prompted the inclusion of program actions to ensure the GMO does not constrain housing development during the planning period.
Escalon's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 2023-2031 planning period is 367 units, consisting of 90 very low income, 56 low income, 66 moderate income, and 155 above moderate income units. The strategy includes 225 pipeline units, 10 projected accessory dwelling units, vacant sites, and
religious institution sites. The identified capacity provides a 202-unit buffer, as strongly encouraged by HCD to ensure housing totals can be met and to comply with State no-net-loss requirements. The buffer also helps the City preserve flexibility in determining when and how the community grows.
Mayor Hagan questioned whether affordable housing programs could provide preference to current Escalon residents. Mr. Lindenbusch explained that local preference policies may be available if structured consistently with fair housing requirements and offered to provide additional information regarding available policy options.
The public hearing was opened. No public testimony was received and the hearing was closed at 7:15 PM.
MOTION – it was m/s by Engle/Kay to adopt Resolution No. 37-26 Adopting the 2023–2031 Housing Element Update, Find the Action Exempt from CEQA Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and Direct Staff to File a Notice of Exemption. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember Strohman absent.
MINUTE ORDER 50-26.
6. Introduce and Waive the First Reading of Ordinance No. XXX Amending Title 17 (Zoning) of the Escalon Municipal Code to Implement the 2023–2031 Housing Element Programs and Ensure Consistency with State Housing Law, Find the Action Exempt from CEQA Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and Direct Staff to File a Notice of Exemption with the State Clearinghouse
Mr. Lindenbusch presented the proposed zoning amendments needed to implement the Housing Element and obtain HCD certification. The amendments establish a Religious Institution Overlay (RIO) for qualifying church sites, provide by-right processing for an applicable Housing Element reuse site when at least 20% of units are affordable to lower income households, and update provisions governing supportive housing, low-barrier navigation centers, emergency shelters, employee housing, residential care facilities, manufactured homes, accessory dwelling units, density bonuses, parking, and definitions.
Council discussed the proposed residential parking standards. The consultant clarified that the amendments for multi-family generally require one (1) parking space for a studio or one-bedroom unit,
1.5 parking spaces for a two- or three-bedroom unit, and two (2) parking spaces for a unit with four or more bedrooms, and 0.5 guest spaces per unit. It was noted that the Bold Communities project is subject to separate SB 35 and SB 423 requirements of one (1) parking space per unit regardless of number of bedrooms.
Mr. Lindenbusch also explained that State law requires qualifying residential properties in San Joaquin County to unbundle parking from the price of rent. The requirement does not increase the number of parking spaces a developer must provide, and staff stated that it was unlikely to be implemented in a geographic area like Escalon, but is intended for larger, denser communities.
The public hearing was opened at 7:48 PM.
Sherry Hill thanked Council and staff for responding to her questions regarding SB 4 and asked the Council to consider a future discussion of additional zoning concerns. Council expressed support for bringing the matter forward for consideration.
The public hearing was closed at 7:50 PM.
MOTION – it was m/s by Kay/Engle to introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. XXX amending Title 17 of the Escalon Municipal Code to implement the Housing Element and conform the
Zoning Ordinance to State Housing Law, find the action exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember Strohman absent. MINUTE ORDER 51-26.
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
None
COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS
Councilmember Kay encouraged motorists to allow additional travel time, remain patient, and drive cautiously near schools. He also encouraged the community to pray for students, teachers, school staff, and families as the school year began.
Councilmember Engle requested that the item requested by Sherry Hill be brought before the Council in a timely manner. CM French stated that staff had spoken with representatives of the California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA), and local Almond Grove representatives, and that he believed their request was consistent with Housing Element Program 3-3(D) and expected to return to Council within the next several months. Councilmember Engle encouraged staff to bring the matter forward sooner if feasible.
Mayor Pro Tem Walker supported further consideration of housing preferences for existing Escalon residents. She stated that smaller and more affordable units could allow older residents to downsize while making larger homes available to local families. She also congratulated the Krumeich family and thanked them for their contributions to the community.
Mayor Hagan thanked the public and echoed the importance of school safety and community support.
He reiterated concern that State and federal housing programs may not provide sufficient flexibility to prioritize current residents seeking affordable housing within their own community.
CLOSED SESSION
None
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Mayor Hagan adjourned the meeting at approximately 8:12 PM.

ITEM NO. 4
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR AUGUST 17, 2026
Prepared By: Trevin W. Barber, Development & Community Services Manager Date: August 12, 2026
Subject: Conduct a Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Ordinance No. 606 Amending Title 17 of the Escalon Municipal Code to Comply with State Law and Implement the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update
Recommendation:
Conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of Ordinance 606 amending Title 17 of the Escalon Municipal Code to comply with State Law and implement the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update.
Background:
The Housing Element is one of the seven mandated elements of the General Plan, and the only element that must be updated on a set schedule, consistent with the establishment of Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNA), which are published at eight-year intervals. The City of Escalon Planning Commission unanimously recommended adoption of the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update and Zoning Code Amendments at successive hearings on July 14, 2026. The City Council considered adoption of the Housing Element at a prior hearing held on August 10, 2026.
HCD’s review letter, received on June 26, 2026, found the City’s Housing Element document substantially complies with the requirements of Housing Element law, and indicated that full compliance with Housing Element law would require zoning code amendments to implement the Housing Element.
In the last few years, the Legislature has passed multiple housing bills that prescribe new requirements for Housing Elements and new “by-right” requirements for housing projects. By-right requirements primarily require cities to approve certain housing development projects compatible with local zoning rules. Some provisions of these laws reduce land use control for cities without a certified Housing Element. Staff’s goal for this Housing Element update is to meet the requirements established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), preserve the City’s discretionary land use control to the maximum extent possible and bring forward meaningful local goals, policies and programs that support housing at all levels in Escalon.
The Zoning Code is the primary tool used to implement the City’s General Plan. The Housing Element of the General Plan is planned for adoption in July 2026, and it includes 22 programs to be implemented, including both existing or ongoing programs and new programs. The Housing Element sets forth a schedule of implementation for these Programs, with due dates ranging from 2026 through 2031.
Housing Element Programs 1-2, 2-1 and 4-3 list specific code changes, some of which are required to be completed immediately to achieve Housing Element compliance and some to be completed by
December 2026.
Typically, a jurisdiction would have one to three years to complete initial implementation programs, including required code changes, but due to the City’s statutory due date the City is required to complete all initial code amendments alongside adoption of the Housing Element for HCD to certify the City’s Housing Element after adoption. The City’s statutory deadline to adopt its 2023-2031 Housing Element was December 31, 2023. If the City had adopted the Housing Element Update within 120 days of the statutory deadline, the City would have had a deadline of December 31, 2024, to implement the required code changes included in the attached Resolution (Exhibit 1). As both deadlines have passed, the City is required to bring both the Housing Element Update and Zoning Code Changes concurrently, for HCD to certify the City’s Housing Element and achieve compliance with Housing Element law. Achievement of compliance with Housing Element programs and timelines is in the City’s interest to retain funding and local land use control.
Discussion:
Proposed Code Amendments
This set of proposed code amendments will address a variety of the City’s housing objectives and provide legal consistency between the General Plan and Zoning. The amendments will update the Zoning Code to comply with changes in state laws and the Housing Element; encourage higher density development near jobs and transit by enacting an overlay zone for housing on religious institution sites; and clarify development standards for higher-density housing and for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The Sections of the Code to be changed and the basis for each change are further outlined in Table 1, below:

(Ordinance Exhibit F)
As shown in Table 1 above, each of the Zoning Code changes in this package of Code Amendments are required and prescribed by State laws and to accommodate the Housing Element Sites Inventory.
The analysis below describes each of the Zoning Code Amendments by topic.
Residential Land Uses and Related Definitions
State law requires certain residential uses that accommodate special needs populations to be allowed by-right in residential zones. Specifically, Supportive Housing (also known as Permanent Supportive Housing) and Residential Care Facilities must be allowed by right in all zones where residential uses are permitted. Related definitions have been added/modified, as shown on Ordinance Exhibit A, to differentiate between Large Residential Community Care Facilities (commercial memory care facilities, for example), which still require a Use Permit, and Residential Community Care Homes, which take the form of a residential unit and must be allowed by-right.
Low-Barrier Navigation Centers are defined in Government Code Section 65660 as “a Housing First, low barrier, temporary, service-enriched shelter focused on helping homeless individuals and families to quickly obtain permanent housing.” State law requires that Low Barrier Navigation Centers be allowed in commercial zones that allow residential uses and areas zoned for mixed use; this change has also been added to the List of Permitted Use Table (Ordinance Exhibit A), and the State definition of Low Barrier Navigation Center has been added to the Definitions section (Ordinance Exhibit B).
State law requires employee housing of no more than 36 beds in group quarters or 12 units or less designed for use by a single family or household to be considered an agriculture use and permitted in accordance with Health and Safety Code Sections 17021.5 and 17021.6, and the proposed amendments describe this in the List of Permitted Use Table (Ordinance Exhibit A). The definition of “employee housing” has been modified, as shown on Ordinance Exhibit B.
State law requires residential care facilities that serve seven or more clients be permitted in all residential zones and only be subject to objective development standards consistent with State law, and this has been reflected in the List of Permitted Uses Table (Ordinance Exhibit A).
State law requires manufactured homes to be permitted in the same zones and subject to the same development standards as other single-family residential uses, pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.3. A footnote was added to the List of Permitted Uses Table to clarify this change (Ordinance Exhibit A).
Fair housing laws require the definition of “family,” for the purposes of occupancy standards, to include on or more persons that are not necessarily related by blood, marriage, or adoption, in a household arrangement that complies with fair housing laws, and these changes are reflected in the Definitions Section (Ordinance Exhibit B).
Accessory Dwelling Units
Several recent State laws require jurisdictions to allow junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) within all single-family dwellings, remove the owner-occupancy requirement for JADUs with their own sanitation facilities, and charge any impact fees proportionately to the livable square footage of the ADU. These changes are reflected in the Accessory Dwelling Units Section (Ordinance Exhibit C).
Religious Institution Overlay (RIO) District
An Overlay District is a special type of zoning tool that places an additional layer of incentives or regulations over the base zoning district. Escalon utilizes several Overlay District, including the
Historic and the Floodplain Management Overlay Districts. Upon adoption, the Religious Institution Overlay (RIO) District could be applied over the applicable parcels owned by religious institutions as defined in the ordinance and would allow certain residential uses in addition to the uses allowed by the base district. In the instance of the Religious Institution Overlay District, specified residential uses would be allowed instead of, or in addition to, uses allowed in the base zone. For example, if a commercial business is allowed by the base district subject to the granting of a use permit, that commercial business would continue to be allowed with a use permit under the RIO District. The RIO District is additive and does not reduce the allowable uses on a site to which it is applied. The RIO Overlay is proposed to be applied to the parcels indicated in Section 3 of the Housing Element.
The proposed changes are included in Chapter 17.33 (Ordinance Exhibit G).
The proposed Religious Institution Overlay (RIO) implements the requirements of Senate Bill 4 (Wiener, 2023), which authorizes qualifying affordable housing developments on property owned by independent institutions of higher education and religious institutions, subject to specified affordability and development standards. The overlay establishes local procedures and development standards to facilitate implementation of State law while ensuring consistency with the City's Zoning Ordinance. Full analysis of religious institution sites included in the City’s Sites Inventory are detailed in Section 3.3.3 of the Adopted Housing Element, and the RIO implements Housing Element Program 1-2(D).
Staff recommend that the Religious Institution Overlay (RIO) District be adopted into the Zoning Code with this package of Code Amendments. Consistent with the Planning Commission resolution recommending adoption of the Zoning Code Amendments to the City Council, input from HCD informed revisions made to the RIO for consistency with State law.
Parking
State law regulates the amount of parking a City can require for several residential uses. The proposed amendments to Chapter 17.43 (Parking) include utilizing the maximum parking requirements established in Government Code Section 65915 for all multifamily projects and create a parking requirements table; establish parking requirements for emergency shelters in compliance with Government Code Section 65583; and allow separate rental or sale of parking spaces and residential units (unbundled parking); and establish parking standards for residential developments subject to the provisions of the Religious Institution Overlay District, as provided in the attached Exhibit E.
Environmental Review
Staff Recommends the Escalon City Council adopt an ordinance exempting the project from CEQA and amending Title 17 of the Escalon Municipal Code to implement State laws and the Housing Element Update.
Public Outreach
The City provided a notice of public hearing, published in the Escalon Times on July 22, 2026, provided email notification of the hearing to interested parties, and mailed the notice to parcels withing 300 feet of parcels subject to proposed zoning code amendments.
Next Steps
If the City Council approves the ordinance, the code amendments will be submitted to HCD concurrent to their 60-day review of the Adopted Housing Element. Based on HCD’s findings, nonsubstantive revisions may be necessary to respond to HCD comments.
Conclusion
City staff have reviewed the Housing Element Update and find that it is internally consistent with the City Escalon General Plan and substantially complies with State Housing Element Law. City staff have reviewed the proposed code amendments and find that the proposed changes implement both the Housing Element and State law.
The City Council is being asked to review and adopt the attached Zoning Code Amendments.
Fiscal Impact:
No fiscal impact. Consultant staff time for preparation of the Zoning Code changes to implement the Housing Element was included in the Housing Element Update budget.

17.43.030 Alternating use of parking spaces.
Where uses are required by this chapter to be served by off-street parking spaces, and where some of the uses generate parking demands primarily during hours when the remaining uses are closed but parking reductions are not authorized under the modification provisions in this chapter, alternating use of the space is allowed if approved by conditional use permit by the planning commission, but only if specifically authorized by conditional use permit. Issuance of the permit must be supported by findings that the alternating use of such spaces will not result in the effective provisions of fewer off-street parking spaces than required by this chapter. Required parking spaces shall normally be on the same lot as the main building. For required parking not located on the same lot, a properly drawn legal instrument shall be prepared, executed by the parties concerned for joint use of off-street parking facilities, duly approved as to form and manner of execution by the city attorney and recorded with the county recorder. Joint use parking privilege shall continue in effect only so long as such an instrument, binding on all parties, remains in force. If such
instrument becomes legally ineffective, then parking shall be provided as otherwise required by this chapter. In no case shall required parking not located on the same property be more than 300 feet from the subject parcel.
The permit may contain such conditions as are necessary to assure the facts found to support the alternate use of parking spaces will continue to exist, including:
A. Submission of satisfactory statements by the party or parties providing the proposed alternating parking, describing the users and their times of operation, and showing the absence of conflict between them;
B. Written agreements between the parties setting forth the terms and conditions under which the off-street parking spaces will be operated;
C. Documents showing maintenance provisions; and
D. Other documents or commitments deemed necessary. (Ord. 495 § 1, 2005)
17.43.040 Modification of off-street parking requirements.
The commercially zoned areas of the City of Escalon are intended to serve the various needs of residents, businesses, tourists, and other visitors to the city. The City of Escalon desires to create public parking, bikeways, sidewalks, pedestrian landings, etc., in order to better facilitate more and safer pedestrian and bicycle movement from residential development to the various retail and commercial uses. Also, the City of Escalon recognizes the pedestrian and bicycle modes of traffic that utilize the various retail and commercial uses within the city add to the economic viability of the city. Therefore, the planning commission may reduce off-street parking for all permitted commercial uses except motels and hotels under any one of the following determinations:
A. When a finding can be made that the reduction is consistent with and will further the goals described above.
B. When a common off-street public parking facility located within 300 feet of the uses served will provide 20 or more parking spaces, up to 10 required on-site parking spaces may be deleted from the project.
C. When a project contains more than one user on the same or contiguous sites, the total gross floor area is 5,000 square feet or greater, and unassigned off-street parking is provided, the total number of parking spaces required for all uses served may be reduced up to 25 percent upon a finding by the planning commission that the typical use of the off-street parking facility would be staggered to such an extent that the reduced number of spaces would be adequate to serve all uses sharing the facility. An example of such usage would be parking within a shopping center where such parking is not assigned to a specific use.
D. The planning commission may authorize a maximum 25 percent of the required parking for a use to be located on a site not more than 300 feet from the site of the use for which such parking is required, where such off-site parking will serve the use equally as effectively and conveniently as providing such parking on the same site as the use for which it is required. As part of the planning commission action in granting such an exception, it shall require such assurance as recommended
by the city attorney that the remote parking site will always be available for parking unless such required parking can be provided on an alternate site.
E. The planning commission may authorize a maximum 10 percent reduction in the required on-site parking requirements where such reduction will not result in a traffic hazard, impact the necessary parking for the use, and will not impact abutting uses.
F. The required number of off-street spaces may be modified for uses such as mixed use elderly housing (where both elderly and nonelderly housing is provided), housing for persons with disabilities, or retirement homes where it can be demonstrated that automobile use or ownership is significantly lower than for other dwellings or lodging houses.
G. When establishments serving food and beverages occupy a mixed use development such as a hotel or conference center where joint use of facilities can be expected, the total number of parking spaces required for the food and beverage use may be reduced up to 25 percent.
H. The parking reductions provided for above may be allowed only if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the planning commission and/or city council that a combination of the following vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and parking measures are proposed by the development plan, including but not limited to:
1. There are no material adverse impacts on parking conditions in the immediate vicinity.
2. The development plan mitigates vehicular traffic impacts by proposing limited access to and from public roadways.
3. The development plan proposes the creation of new or upgraded sidewalks or bikeways to help foster nonvehicular movement within, around and to the site.
4. Public/private open spaces are created to help foster pedestrian and bikeway attractions (i.e., bicycle racks, benches, open and landscaped areas, pedestrian landings, lighting, etc.).
5. Additional landscape measures are taken beyond minimum city requirements so as to help foster the identity of the city.
6. Safety signs, traffic signals, and crosswalks are implemented to help reduce any potential conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles.
I. The city may place conditions of approval on any development plan that the developer/builder pays to the City of Escalon a per-parking-space fee (rate determined on a per project basis) to help fund and facilitate other public parking, sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, pedestrian landings, bicycle lanes, bicycle paths, benches, signs, traffic signals, etc., for commercial areas within the city where it can be determined that there is a nexus between the increased traffic of the proposed development and the improvements being requested.
J. There shall be no reduction in off-street parking requirements for motels/hotels or residential uses, other than as provided for above. (Ord. 495 § 1, 2005)
17.43.050 Development standards.
A. Generally. All permanent off-street parking lots and parking garages shall be constructed as provided in this section. Where the rules of a zone pertaining to yards, landscaping, fencing, or lighting are stricter than those contained in this section, the rules of the zone apply.

2. Standard spaces shall be at least 19 feet long and nine feet wide.
3. Space width shall be increased by one foot to 10 feet if adjacent on one side to a wall, fence, hedge or structure; and by two feet to 11 feet if adjacent on both sides to such walls, fences, hedges, or structures. Garages that are required parking for one- and two-family dwellings shall have at least 20 feet by 20 feet clear inside dimension for two-car garages and 11 feet by 20 feet for one-car garages.

14. No required off-street parking spaces shall be allowed in tandem unless specified in conditions of approval, development agreements or PD site plan.
E. Surfacing. All outdoor off-street parking spaces, driveways and maneuvering areas shall be paved with a compacted base not less than four inches thick, surfaced with asphalt concrete or Portland cement concrete pavement or other surfacing approved by the city engineer.

1. Except for those which serve single- or two-family dwellings, all outdoor off-street parking spaces shall be screened on all sides that adjoin, face, or are across the street from either properties situated in a residential zone or properties developed with a residential use. The design of all screening is subject to approval by the city planner.
2. Wherever a parking lot is adjacent to a street, a landscaped buffer at least 10 feet wide is required. Where the parking lot is adjacent to a side or rear property line or to an alley, a landscaped buffer at least five feet wide is required. The required width of landscaped buffers is exclusive of curbing or allowance for vehicle overhang, and is measured from the property line or street or alley right-of-way line.
3. All landscaped areas shall be completely enclosed by a six-inch continuous concrete curb. At any point where a curb around a landscaped area serves as a wheel stop, a vehicle overhang allowance of two feet including the width of the curb shall be added to the landscaped area.

17.43.060 Temporary parking lots.
A. When this chapter requires that parking be provided to serve a building which is being remodeled or a building which occupies the site of an approved parking lot intended to serve a building which is under construction, or to support a temporary use as determined by the city planner, temporary parking may be provided. Temporary parking lots shall be surfaced, lighted, landscaped and otherwise improved, consistent with the purpose of such lots as temporary facilities, to be safe and present an acceptable appearance. Site and architecture approval, with an expiration date, is required for all temporary parking lots.
B. The city may construct temporary parking lots to alleviate parking shortages. The standards and procedures are the same as provided in subsection A of this section. (Ord. 495 § 1, 2005)

17.43.080 Requirements of downtown parking district.
A. The ability of property owners to provide the parking spaces required under this chapter is usually not feasible in the downtown area due to the lack of vacant land. In order to provide for the orderly and viable transition of property uses in the area described as the downtown parking district, existing uses are exempt from the requirements of EMC 17.43.020.
B. Where there is a change in use within an existing building or property and no additional floor area or additional dwelling units are proposed, no additional parking spaces are required.
C. Where additional floor area or additional dwelling units are created or new buildings constructed, the parking requirements of this chapter shall be met for the new construction. No existing parking spaces shall be removed in order to accommodate additional or new construction and/or uses.
D. For purposes of this parking exemption section, the downtown parking district is described as follows: properties within the area and on both sides of these district boundary streets: Main Street, Third Street, and State Route 120. (Ord. 530 Att. A, 2011; Ord. 495 § 1, 2005)
17.43.090 Unbundled parking. The following rules shall apply to the sale or rental of parking spaces in new Multifamily Residential buildings with ten or more units:
A. All off-street parking spaces shall be leased or sold separately from the rental or purchase fees for dwelling units for the life of the dwelling units, such that potential renters or buyers have the option of renting or buying a residential unit at a price lower than would be the case if there were a single price for both the residential unit and the parking space(s).
B. In cases where there are fewer parking spaces than dwelling units, the parking spaces shall be offered first to the potential buyers or renters of three bedroom or more units, second to potential buyers or renters of two bedroom units, and then to potential buyers and renters of other units.
C. Potential buyers and renters of affordable units shall have an equal opportunity to buy or rent a parking space on the same terms and conditions as offered to potential buyers and renters of market-rate units, at a price proportional to the sale or rental price of their units as compared to comparable market-rate units. This stipulation shall be included in any agreement recorded between the City and developer pertaining to the affordable housing units pursuant to Chapter
17.50 (Affordable Housing).
D. Parking spaces shall be offered only to residents of the dwelling units served by the offstreet parking, except that any surplus spaces may be rented out to non-residents, or otherwise made available for public use, with the provision that such spaces must be vacated on 30 days' notice if they are needed by residents. Required visitor spaces shall not be rented out, but may be made available for public use.
E. The City Planner may grant an exception from the requirements of this subsection for affordable units that include financing for affordable housing that requires that costs for parking and housing be bundled together.

Chapter 17.33 RIO RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION DISTRICT
17.33.010 Purpose and intent.
The Religious Institution Overlay District ("RIO") is established to:
A. Provide religious institutions with the ability to utilize their land in a manner consistent with their institutional objectives, including the provision of housing for disadvantaged populations; B. Expand opportunities for affordable housing with access to amenities offered by community institutions;
C. Enable better utilization of land resources which are often unused, such as parking lots used for infrequent (e.g., once-weekly) services; and
D. Provide religious institutions with greater certainty regarding their land use rights for affordable housing development and incentives for religious organizations to develop their land with housing.
17.33.020 Definitions.
As is used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless otherwise indicated from the context:
A. “Project” means a housing development consisting of residential units only, or mixed-use developments where at least fifty percent of the new or converted square footage is designated for residential use.
B. “Religious institution” means an institution owned, controlled, or operated and maintained by a church, religious denomination, or religious organization composed of multidenominational members of the same well-recognized religion, lawfully operating as a nonprofit religious corporation or as a corporation sole.
C. “Use by right” means a development project that does not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or discretionary review, and is not a “project” for the purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
17.33.030 Applicability.
The Religious Institution Overlay District may apply city-wide to any property owned on or before January 1, 2024, by a religious institution, as defined in Section 17.33.020 of this chapter.
17.33.040 Permitted uses and other provisions.
In addition to any uses permitted in the base zone, the following uses shall be permitted in the RIO District:
A. Dwelling units (attached or detached), shall be allowed as a use by right at a minimum density of twenty dwelling units per acre and maximum density of twenty-nine units per acre, when 20% of units are provided as affordable to low-income households. Housing development projects proposed to utilize the provisions of the RIO at a lower density or not meeting the affordability requirement do not qualify as a use by right under this chapter. For the purpose of determining density, the size of the lot shall be calculated as the portion of the site being developed for housing and the accessory uses that serve the housing development.
B. Accessory buildings and uses customarily incidental to multifamily residential uses allowed, such as parking garages for residents, recreational facilities, day care, guest houses, laundry-rooms, storage sheds, gazebos, etc.
C. Permitted uses in this zone include those that are listed as permitted in the R3 zone, as detailed in Section 17.11.040.
D. All housing development projects processed under the standards of this overlay zone shall be subject to a housing agreement that includes all of the elements required for a density bonus housing agreement in Section 17.48.110.

Up to a maximum of twenty percent of units may be sold or rented to households of moderate income at an affordable housing cost, as these terms are defined in Section 17.50.030. Developments that include at least 20% of units affordable to lower-income households are allowed by-right, consistent with Government Code 65583.2(i). Up to five percent of units may be made available for staff of the religious institution that owns the land, provided that the units affordable to lower income households are offered at an affordable rent, as defined in Section 17.50.030.
F. Affordable units are subject to the size, quality and standards defined in Section 17.50.060.
17.33.050 Exemption from amendments to existing entitlements.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR AUGUST 17, 2026
Prepared By: Jaylen French, City Manager
Date: August 10, 2026
Subject: Adopt Resolution xx-26 Adopting a Conflict of Interest Policy for DesignBuild Projects Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution xx-26 adopting a Conflict of Interest Policy for Design-Build Projects.
Strategic Plan Priority:
This item supports the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project, which is a key project of the Escalon Strategic Plan Priority #4, Infrastructure.
Background:
The City of Escalon desires to contract for design-build construction projects pursuant to the authority of section 22160 et seq. of the Public Contract Code, including for the upcoming WWTP Upgrade project. Public Contract Code section 22162(c) requires that the City develop guidelines for a standard organizational conflict-of-interest policy regarding the ability of a person who participates in the solicitation of a design-build project to submit a proposal as a design-build entity or to otherwise join a design-build team. The accompanying proposed Resolution would take such action.
Discussion:
Public construction projects are traditionally procured through the design-bid-build process, where separate firms design and construct a project. Applicable law, however, also authorizes public agencies such as the City to procure public construction projects through a design-build process, where the same firm is responsible for the design and construction of a project. There are many potential advantages to the design-build procurement method for project owners, which may include a reduction in overall time to complete the project, the ability to select the design-build team based on qualifications, experience and cost, and a reduction in project change orders claims.
Public Contract Code, § 22160 et seq. generally governs the procurement of construction projects through the design-build delivery method by local agencies such as the City. Public Contract Code, § 22162, subd. (c) specifically provides:
(c) The local agency shall develop guidelines for a standard organizational conflict-of-interest policy, consistent with applicable law, regarding the ability of a person or entity, that performs services for the local agency relating to the solicitation of a design-build project, to submit a proposal as a design-build entity, or to join a design-build team. This conflict-of-interest policy shall apply to each local agency entering into design-build contracts authorized under this chapter.
The City must adopt a conflict-of-interest policy in order to utilize the design-build delivery method.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of the Conflict of Interest Policy for Design-Build Projects does not require an appropriation and therefore does not have a fiscal impact.

CITY OF ESCALON
CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY COVERING
DESIGN-BUILD PROJECTS
The purpose of this document is to clarify the City of Escalon’s (“City”) position on potential conflicts-of-interest that may arise when consultants or contractors (collectively, “Proposer”) perform work for the City relating to potential design-build projects (“Design-Build Project”).
Organizational conflicts-of-interest can occur when, because of existing or planned activities or because of relationships with other entities, a Proposer is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advise the City; a Proposer’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired; or a Proposer has an unfair competitive advantage.
The policies and guidelines concerning the organizational conflicts-of-interest found herein may be specified or referenced in the Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) and/or Request for Proposal (“RFP”) documents for a Design-Build Project as well as any contract for the engineering/design services, inspection, or technical support in the administration of a Design-Build Project.
Resolution of conflict-of-interest issues is ultimately at the sole discretion of the City. City reserves the right to cancel or amend the resulting contract(s) if a successful Proposer failed to disclose a potential conflict, which it knew or should have known about, or if a Proposer provided information in response to an inquiry from the City that is false or misleading.
After award, conflict-of-interest guidelines and policies shall continue to be monitored and enforced. If an organizational conflict-of-interest is discovered after award, the Proposer will make an immediate and full written disclosure to the City that includes a description of the action that the Proposer has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. If an organizational conflict-of-interest is determined to exist and the Proposer was aware of an organizational conflictof-interest prior to award of the contract and did not disclose the conflict-of-interest, the City may terminate the contract with the Proposer for material breach. If the Proposer is terminated, the City assumes no obligations, responsibilities and liabilities to reimburse all or part of the costs incurred or alleged to have been incurred by the Proposer.
APPROACH
The following approach to conflict-of-interest will apply to City procurements relating to a DesignBuild Project:
I. A potential Proposer will not be allowed to participate as a design-build entity or to join a design-build team if, without limitation, any of the following is true:
A. Proposer is the City’s design consultant, owner’s representative, or otherwise providing contractual services on the Design-Build Project.
82108.00103\45298585.1
B. Proposer is assisting in the procurement and/or management of the Design-Build Project, including the preparation of the RFQ and/or RFP language or evaluation criteria.
C. Proposer has performed work on a previous contract that specifically excludes them from participating as a design-build entity or joining a design-build team on the Design-Build Project.
D. Proposer is under contract with any other entity or stakeholder to perform oversight on the Design-Build Project.
E. Proposer would violate applicable federal and state conflict-of-interest rules and regulations by participating as a design-build entity or joining a design-build team.
II. Proposers who may have potential conflicts-of-interest in relation to a Design-Build Project and wish to participate as a design-build entity or join a design-build team must:
A. Conform to applicable federal and state conflict-of-interest rules and regulations including, without limitation, the California Political Reform Act, California Government Code Section 1090, the federal Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act and federal conflict-of-interest rules set forth in the federal funding agency’s administrative grant and cooperative agreement regulations. Federal conflict-ofinterest rules and regulations shall only apply where the Design-Build Project receives federal funding.
B. Disclose all relevant facts relating to past, present or planned interest(s) of the Proposer’s team (including the Proposer, Proposer’s proposed consultants, contractors, subconsultants and/or subcontractors and their respective chief executives, directors and key personnel) which may result, or could be viewed as an organizational conflict-of-interest in connection with any Design-Build Project procurement, including present or planned contractual or employment relationships with any current employee of the City.
C. Disclose in the response documents to an RFQ and/or RFP for a Design-Build Project, all of the work performed in relation to the Design-Build Project being procured under the RFQ and/or RFP, when requested.
D. Provide all records of the work performed in relation to the Design-Build Project to the City so that all information can be evaluated and made available to all potential design-build teams, if necessary.
E. Ensure that the Proposer’s contract with any entity to perform services related to the Design-Build Project has expired or has been terminated.
Upon review of the information provided above, the City Manager will determine, in his or her sole discretion, if the Proposer has an organizational conflict-of-interest. Decisions of the City Manager regarding organizational conflicts-of-interest may be appealed to the City Council. The decision of the City Council shall be final with respect to the disposition
82108.00103\45298585.1
of the organizational conflict-of-interest and non-appealable.
III. For other potential conflicts-of-interest not mentioned above (e.g. employee changing companies, merger/acquisitions of firms, property ownership, business arrangements, financial interest), Proposers shall disclose and address any conflicts-of-interest or potential conflicts-of-interest when participating as a design-build entity or joining a design-build team. City will then determine if an organizational conflict-of-interest exists.
IV. The successful Proposer or firms affiliated with the successful Proposer are prohibited from competing on any agreement to provide construction inspection services for the DesignBuild Project. An affiliated firm is one, which is subject to the control of the same persons, through joint ownership or otherwise. No subconsultants who are providing design services in connection with the Design-Build Project shall be eligible to compete for any agreement with the City to provide construction inspection services for the Design-Build Project.
V. The forgoing shall not constitute a limitation on the obligations of the Proposer in relation to organizational conflicts-of-interest.

Criminal Activity / Crime Map
(Note: Thefts facilitated by Internet Scams, Phone Scams, and Identity Theft are not displayed on map) ● 7/10/2026 – Case #26-477 – Theft of bicycles – 2200 Block of California St – Two bicycles were stolen from the front yard of a residence on California Street. Video surveillance captured the suspects and the vehicle, but it was not clear enough to obtain a license plate. Officers located the suspect vehicle on Flock and were able to obtain the license plate number. Officers identified the suspects, who are both from Stockton and are seeking warrants for their arrest. ● 7/14/2026 – Case #26-482 – Shoplifting – Orlando’s Market – A group of four apparent minors between 17 and 18 years of age entered the store. One of the subjects removed a bottle of Crown Royal whiskey from the package and concealed it in their pants before leaving the store. The crime was discovered shortly after the minors left the store and the manager checked the video surveillance. The vehicle was captured on the video surveillance, and Officers were able to locate it on the Flock cameras and obtain a license plate number. The vehicle was registered out of Stockton and officers have been unsuccessful in identifying the suspects.
● 7/15/2026 – Case #26-483 – Identity Theft – The victim was notified via mail that a bank account had been opened in his name. He had not opened the account, so went to the bank and discovered the account was opened in Chicago. The account was closed.
● 7/26/2026 – Case #26-515 – Theft by Fraud – A resident posted a boat for sale on-line. The suspect came to Escalon and purchased the boat for $3,500 with a check. After the check bounced, the victim attempted to contact the suspect, believing there may have been a mistake, but he was ignored. Officers obtained the suspects license plate from the Flock camera system and the check belonged to one of the registered owners, who were from Richmond, California, indicating it was not a stolen check. Officers also obtained account information from the bank and discovered that the check belonged to an account that had been closed for 5 years, further indicating fraud. Officers made several attempts to contact the suspects and sent Richmond PD to their residence. The suspects eventually contacted the victim and sent the victim payment via Venmo, stating that they had accidentally used the wrong check. The case was referred to the DA.

This includes two pairs of 6' x 12' goals for Fields A and C, and one pair of 4' x 56 portable pop-up goals for Mini Fields 1 and 2, providing easier setup, transportation, and storage. Additionally, two semipermanent 24' x 8' goals have been installed at Brentwood Park and Sanchez Park.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
FOR AUGUST 17, 2026
Prepared By: Trevin W. Barber, Development & Community Services Manager Date: July 6, 2026
Subject: Confirming the Engineer’s Reports and Ordering the Levy of Assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the Belleterra Estates Landscape Maintenance District No. 01-1, Estates Benefit Assessment District No. 06-1, Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 06-1, Sunrise Terrace Landscape Maintenance District No. 96-1, and Westwood Country Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 02-1
Recommendation:
Conduct a public hearing and adopt Resolution No. xx-26, confirming the Engineer’s Reports and ordering the levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the Belleterra Estates Landscape Maintenance District No. 01-1, Estates Benefit Assessment District No. 06-1, Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 06-1, Sunrise Terrace Landscape Maintenance District No. 96-1, and Westwood Country Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 02-1.
Strategic Plan Priority:
This item is consistent with the Escalon Strategic Plan Priority #2, Fiscal Stability, in that the Landscape and Lighting Districts ensure an ongoing revenue source for maintenance, repair, and replacement of infrastructure and equipment in various communities throughout the City.
Background:
The City of Escalon has five (5) existing maintenance districts:
● Belleterra Estates Landscape Maintenance District No. 01-1 ● Estates Benefit Assessment District No. 06-1
● Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 06-1 ● Sunrise Terrace Landscape Maintenance District No. 96-1 ● Westwood Country Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 02-1 Four (4) of the five districts – the Belleterra Estates Landscape Maintenance District No. 01-1, Estates Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 06-1, Sunrise Terrace Landscape Maintenance District No. 96-1, and Westwood Country Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 02-1 – were formed and operate pursuant to the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972” (the “1972 Act”), Division 15, Part 2 of the Streets and Highways Code. The Estates Benefit Assessment District No.
06-1 was formed and operates pursuant to the “Benefit Assessment Act of 1982,” Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the California Government Code (commencing with Section 54703).
On April 20, 2026, the City Council took the first of three required actions to continue these levies for Fiscal Year 2026-27, and on June 2, 2026 the City Council took the second action by preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Reports and setting the date of the public hearing. The City Council is now being asked to take the third and final action, namely, to conduct the public hearing and adopt a resolution confirming the Engineer’s Reports and ordering the levy and collection of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Each proposed assessment rate is at or below the maximum assessment rate authorized for the respective District, as set forth in the Engineer’s Reports. The City Council retains the discretion to adopt a lower assessment than the proposed assessment.
In prior years, this action was brought before the City Council as separate agenda items, with one per district, resulting in multiple individual resolutions heard on a single evening. Beginning with Fiscal Year 2026-27, staff has restructured the process to consolidate all five districts into a single resolution for each of the three required actions, consistent with the practice used by other SCI Consulting Group client agencies. This approach reduces the number of agenda items, streamlines the public record, and makes the process more efficient for the City Council and the public.
Below are the assessment rates by district for Fiscal Year 2026-27, together with the actual rates charged for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and the year-over-year difference in rates.

The Engineer’s Reports were preliminarily approved by the City Council on June 2, 2026. Following the public hearing on July 20, 2026, continued on August 17, 2026, and provided a majority protest does not exist, adoption of the attached resolution will confirm the Engineer’s Reports and order the levy of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27. The assessments will thereafter be filed with the San Joaquin County Auditor-Controller for collection on the Fiscal Year 2026-27 secured property tax roll.
Discussion:
Adoption of this Resolution is the third and final of the three required actions in the FY 2026-27 annual levy process. It follows the public hearing and confirms the Engineer’s Report for each District and orders the levy and collection of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27.
Because the City does not propose to increase any assessment beyond the previously approved maximum assessment rate for any District (as adjusted by any applicable assessment range formula), no property owner protest balloting procedure is required. At the public hearing, the City Council will consider all public testimony and any written protests and may order the levy.
Public Noticing:
Notice of this Public Hearing was published in the Escalon Times on July 8, 2026, not less than ten (10) days prior to the hearing, in accordance with the applicable governing acts. The notice was also posted on the two City Hall bulletin boards and on the City’s website.
For the upcoming fiscal year, staff has implemented several measures to strengthen transparency and improve public access to district financial information. In addition to the standard Engineer’s Reports, residents will now receive redline versions showing all year-over-year changes, as well as detailed transaction summaries that clearly identify how assessment funds were spent in the prior year. Staff is also issuing individualized mailers to every parcel within each district, outlining each property’s assessment rate, the line-item cost components, and a QR code linking to the full financial documents.
These enhancements are intended to provide residents with clearer, more accessible information about their district’s operations and to support a more informed public hearing process.
Fiscal Impact:
Each of the five (5) Assessment Districts levies and collects funds to cover operating and maintenance costs. The Fiscal Year 2026-27 budgets for the Districts include funding for the preparation of the Annual Assessment Reports by SCI Consulting Group. There is no fiscal impact to the City of Escalon General Fund.
