VEHICLE CODE
Section 22358.4
22358.4. (a) (1) Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour established by subdivision (b) of Section 22352 is more than is reasonable or safe, the local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 20 or 15 miles per hour, whichever is justified as the appropriate speed limit by that survey.
(2) An ordinance or resolution adopted under paragraph (1) shall not be effective until appropriate signs giving notice of the speed limit are erected upon the highway and, in the case of a state highway, until the ordinance is approved by the Department of Transportation and the appropriate signs are erected upon the highway. (b) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) or any other provision of law, a local authority may, by ordinance or resolution, determine and declare prima facie speed limits as follows:
(A) A 15 miles per hour prima facie limit in a residence district, on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, a school building or the grounds of a school building, contiguous to a highway and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 15 miles per hour, while children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching, at a distance of less than 500 feet from, or passing, school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 15 miles per hour. (B) A 25 miles per hour prima facie limit in a residence district, on a highway with a posted speed limit of 30 miles per hour or slower, when approaching, at a distance of 500 to 1,000 feet from, a school building or the grounds thereof, contiguous to a highway and posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, while children are going to or leaving the school, either during school hours or during the noon recess period. The prima facie limit shall also apply when approaching, at a distance of 500 to 1,000 feet from, school grounds that are not separated from the highway by a fence, gate, or other physical barrier while the grounds are in use by children and the highway is posted with a school warning sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 miles per hour.
(2) The prima facie limits established under paragraph (1) apply only to highways that meet all of the following conditions:
(A) A maximum of two traffic lanes.
#21..
- 886 -
(B) A maximum posted 30 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the school zone.
(3) The prima facie limits established under paragraph (1) apply to all lanes of an affected highway, in both directions of travel.
(4) When determining the need to lower the prima facie speed limit, the local authority shall take the provisions of Section 627 into consideration. (5) (A) An ordinance or resolution adopted under paragraph (1) shall not be effective until appropriate signs giving notice of the speed limit are erected upon the highway and, in the case of a state highway, until the ordinance is approved by the Department of Transportation and the appropriate signs are erected upon the highway. (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1), school warning signs indicating a speed limit of 15 miles per hour may be placed at a distance up to 500 feet away from school grounds.
(C) For purposes of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1), school warning signs indicating a speed limit of 25 miles per hour may be placed at any distance between 500 and 1,000 feet away from the school grounds.

CONTACT: Rosene Salmo, Integrated Waste Program Manager, [email protected], 209-577-5453
DESCRIPTION:
Consider authorizing the submittal of application(s) to the Department of Transportation Clean California Local Grant Program. (Funding source: Not Applicable) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s Strategic Plan Area of Focus: Quality of Life, “Engage partners across the community to ensure the safety, resilience, and attractiveness of Modesto”, Goal A: “Improve community safety and quality of life through a combination of prevention and intervention efforts that address safety and its underlying issues”, Strategy 6:
Motivate and encourage staff and community members to identify and mitigate blight issues; and Goal B: “Increase pride in Modesto’s diverse neighborhoods and business districts through beautification efforts and by investing in community assets and amenities”, Strategy 3: Evaluate current waste removal and city beautification policies and procedures.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, the City of Modesto conducted citywide community surveys, which identified blight as one of the most pressing issues for residents. On December 10, 2019, Council approved by Resolution 2019-555 the 2020-2025 Blight Abatement Strategy, developed through collaboration with community members, local partnerships, other agencies, and internal City departments.1 The strategy outlines initiatives for blight abatement on public and private property, encourages public and private partnerships, and further action to minimize and mitigate blight.
The Department of Transportation (CalTrans) Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) is a competitive statewide fund created to enhance communities and improve spaces for public use, including beautification and cleaning of local streets, roads, tribal lands, parks, pathways, transit 1 https://www.modestogov.com/DocumentCenter/View/18350/Blight-Abatement-Strategy-Printable-PDF #22..

centers, and other public spaces. The program is part of the nearly $1.1 billion Clean California initiative and approximately $100 million is allocated for local communities as part of CCLGP Cycle 2 announced in 2022.2
CCLGP aims to achieve the following goals:
Reduce the amount of waste and debris within public rights-of-way, pathways, parks, transit centers, and other public spaces;
Enhance, rehabilitate, restore, or install measures to beautify and improve public spaces and mitigate the urban heat island effect;
Enhance public health, cultural connections, and community placemaking by improving public spaces for walking and recreation; and
Advance equity for underserved communities.3
DISCUSSION:
The City of Modesto proposes applying for the CCLGP with a project that addresses blight concerns in disadvantaged and underserved communities. This includes converting vacant lots to usable public space that discourages dumping, improvement and beautification projects that encourage civic pride, and litter or blight abatement efforts. Projects must serve populations where at least 75% of census tracts are considered disadvantaged based on the CCLGP “Severity of Disadvantage” measure, which includes income, CalEnviroScreen score, or Healthy Places Index score.
Local match is not required if projects meet Severity of Disadvantage measures exceeding minimums set by the CCLGP.4 City staff are identifying eligible projects and locations and will make every effort to propose projects with no local match requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Applying for this CalTrans grant does not commit the City to a financial obligation or to accept the grant. If awarded, staff will return to Council with a request to accept the grant and to receive funds. This item is administrative in nature and has no fiscal impact.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to Finance Committee on January 23, 2023, and the Committee recommended forwarding this item to Council for approval. 2 https://cleancalifornia.dot.ca.gov/local-grants/local-grant-program 3 https://cleancalifornia.dot.ca.gov/-/media/cleancalifornia-media/documents/local-grantprogram/guidelines/program-guidelines-cycle2-20221102-a11y.pdf 4

SUBJECT: Right of Way Dedication to the Public for Future Aria Way Extension CONTACT: Robert Davalos, Senior Civil Engineer
[email protected], 209-571-5869
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving a Right-of-Way Dedication by the City of Modesto on behalf of the public for the future Aria Way extension for Public Use and Right of Way. (Funding Source: Not Applicable)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The Tivoli Specific Plan (TSP) area outlines the development of approximately 454 unincorporated acres located north of Sylvan Avenue, east of Oakdale Road, west of Roselle Road, with the northern boundary to be the future expansion of Claratina Avenue from Oakdale Road to Roselle Road.
Rising land values have triggered the need to consider and evaluate an alternative method for dedicating and/or purchasing the public land needed to develop the TSP. Since each area in the TSP cannot individually or independently construct a self-contained infrastructure system, a Volunteer Land Dedication Program (VLDP) was proposed by the City to support the development of the Tivoli area.
Property owners within the boundaries of the TSP recognized that for development to occur, the City would require the dedication of several land areas needed for roadways and other public facilities, such as a drainage basin. The VLDP will act as a mechanism to calculate the acreage that each landowner in the TSP area will be required to provide to the community as their fair share or voluntary contribution to support the development of their property. #23..

City Council, February 14, 2023
Right of Way Dedication to the Public for Future Aria Way Extension
On April 23, 2019, per Resolution No. 2019-197, Council approved a Voluntary Land Dedication Program for the Tivoli Specific Plan Area.
The property being dedicated by the City has only a nominal value until the Aria Way extension is constructed allowing development to occur, which cannot occur without the proposed dedication. That development will increase the value of the rest of the 5.10 acre property where Tank 4 is located, which will ultimately benefit the City’s water ratepayers. Currently, the nominal value of the property the City is dedicated is approximately equal to the Water Divisions costs to maintain that property. Additionally, once dedicated, the Water Division will not be responsible for any potential liabilities related to the dedicated area.
DISCUSSION:
Built in 1995, Tank 4 is located at 3720 Aria Way (APN 083-004-084), within the identified TSP area, and is owned by the City of Modesto – Water Division. To facilitate development of the future Aria Way extension, City staff recommends the dedication of 14,400 square-feet of the
5.10 acre property where Tank 4 is located to the City of Modesto on behalf of the Public for public use and right of way.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of this action. The VLDP is allocated equally among the parcels based on their net acreage; as development occurs, fees will be paid by developers for the construction of the future Aria Way extension.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was considered by the Economic Development Committee at the January 11, 2023 meeting where it was recommended that this item be forwarded to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Resolution approving a Right-of-Way Dedication by the City of Modesto on behalf of the public for the future Aria Way (APN 083-004-084) extension for Public Use and Right-of-Way.

SUBJECT: 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Program
California Department of Water Resources
CONTACT: Juan Ochoa, Associate Engineer, [email protected], 209-577-5423 DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the submission of a Grant Application to the California Department of Water Resources for the 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Grant Program. (Funding Source: Water Fund and American Rescue Plan Act Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
In June of 2022, the California State Legislature amended the Budget Act of 2021 allocating $545 million in additional funding to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) for the purpose of awarding drought relief grants that would provide water to communities that are facing the loss, or contamination of their water supplies, to address immediate impacts on human health and safety, to secure the future of California’s water supply and to protect fish and wildlife resources.
The Guidelines and Proposal Solicitation Package (GL/PSP) schedule for the 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Grant Program is as follows:
October 10, 2022 DWR to Begin Accepting Applications
January 31, 2023 Deadline for Application Submittal to DWR #24..

2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Program
California Department of Water Resources
DWR will announce grant awards in two phases; the first round in December of 2022 and the second in of March 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has submitted an application to DWR seeking grant funding for the following projects:
Empire – Water Main Crossing (Utilities)
In 2017, West Yost prepared a Technical Memorandum (TM) summarizing the hydraulic evaluation of the Empire Service Area, which is deemed an underrepresented community, per DWR’s severely disadvantaged criteria and mapping tool. The TM evaluated the performance of the water system, conducted a hydraulic analysis, and provided recommendations for needed improvements within the Empire Service Area.
The recommendations indicated that upgrades to the existing water main crossings on State Route 132/Yosemite Boulevard were needed. As a result, staff designed two potable water crossings that cross State Route 132/Yosemite Boulevard and upsize the distribution mains from an 8-inch main to a 12-inch main. These improvements will provide reliable volumes of potable water, redundancy, and alleviate the bottlenecks during maximum water peak demands.
Empire – Distribution Water Main Replacement (Utilities) As identified in the City of Modesto Water Master Plan and the TM prepared by West Yost; the Empire Service area requires the replacement and upgrade of deficient water mains and associated water valves, services and fire hydrants to increase service reliability, flows and pressures. The Empire Distribution Water Main Replacement project is one of the many prioritized areas within the City’s water service area that require replacement of current, aging water infrastructure.
The Empire Distribution Water Main Replacement project will replace and upgrade over 6,800 linear feet of deficient water mains, associated water valves, services, and fire hydrants to increase service reliability, improve peak demand flows, reliability, pressures and improve public health and safety. The project area is bounded by I Street on the East, E Street on the West, Center Avenue on the North, and Sunshine Court on the South.
Turf Replacement – City Parks (Parks, Recreation & Neighborhoods) The Parks Planning and Development Group, in an effort to reduce potable water consumption at City parks has identified several park locations throughout the City as candidates for turf removal; The areas have been assigned priority levels of 1-4.
This request for grant funding would focus on transitioning areas designated with priority levels of 1 or 2 to drought tolerant landscaping and would accomplish the following:
Total Turf Removed 12.54 Acres
Annual Water Savings 12.3 Million Gallons
Annual Cost Savings $33,000
Turf Replacement – Residential & Commercial Programs (Utilities) The Water Division currently oversees a turf replacement program offering a $2 per square foot rebate for qualifying artificial turf or drought tolerant projects to both residential and commercial #24..

customers. Rebate amounts can be up to $3,000 per residential City of Modesto water account and/or $6,000 per commercial City of Modesto water account.
Staff is seeking grant funding to financially support the continuation of this conservation program as outdoor landscaping is the single largest use of water in a typical California home or business.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City is seeking approximately $7,227,922 in grant funding to benefit the Utilities and Parks, Recreation & Neighborhoods Departments as follows:
Participation in this program requires a non-state cost share of up to 25% of the total application costs, unless the project qualifies for a waiver. As part of the application process Staff will be requesting that the non-state cost share be waived for all project activity in underrepresented and/or disadvantaged communities per the GL/PSP guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS:
All CEQA requirements will be addressed through the Grant application work plan.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was considered by the Economic Development Committee at the January 11, 2023 meeting where it was recommended that it be forwarded to Council.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
A Resolution of the Modesto City Council authorizing the submittal of a Grant Application for the 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief program that authorizes the City Manager, or his designee as the City representative authorizing the Grant Application, acceptance, and execution of a Grant Agreement to fund the Empire Local Water Main Improvements Project, Empire Water Main Crossings Project, Modesto City Parks Turf Replacement Project, and Modesto Turf Replacement Customer Rebate Program.

Date: January 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Laurie A. Smith, Director of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhoods Department SUBJECT: Fourth Amendment to Landscape Maintenance Services Agreement CONTACT: Kelly Gallagher, Park Operations Manager, [email protected], 209-342-2270
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Fourth Amendment to the Purchasing Agreement with Grover Landscape Services, Inc. of Modesto, CA for Landscape Maintenance Services to extend the term period for an additional three years and six months and increasing the amount of the Agreement by an amount not to exceed $10,745,509 for the extension period. (Funding Source: General Fund – Parks Operations, Community Facilities District Funds, Joint Powers Authority Tuolumne River Regional Park Fund, Various City and Enterprise Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan focus on Quality of Life, Goal D: provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
In Fiscal Year 2015-16, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to issue formal RFPs for Landscape Maintenance Services of City parks, landscape median walls, City buildings and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs).
On October 25, 2016, by Resolution 2016-436, Council authorized Service Agreement No. 108650 with Grover Landscape Services, Inc. to provide landscape services to parks, right-ofway areas and medians, Community Facilities Districts, and Enterprise fund sites.
On February 5, 2019, by Resolution 2019-46, Council approved the First Amendment increasing the agreement amount with Grover Landscape Services by $1.2M to a new total of $9.58M for additional service sites, unanticipated and emergency repairs, and extra work.
On May 4, 2021, by Resolution 2021-172, Council approved the Second Amendment increasing the agreement amount with Grover Landscape Services, Inc., Modesto, CA, for landscape #25..

services by $3,457,775 from $9,584,472, to a new total amount of $13,042,247, and extending the term of the agreement for one year from October 24, 2021, to October 24, 2022.
On October 4, 2022, by Resolution 2022-407, Council approved the Third Amendment to extend the term period for up to an additional six months and increasing the amount of the Agreement by an amount not to exceed $1,331,868 for the extension period.
DISCUSSION:
The City is in its six-month extension of the current agreement with Grover Landscape Services.
This extension was to provide enough time to research the impact of inflation on related Request For Proposals (RFP) issued by the City and other surrounding jurisdictions. Staff was concerned with the dramatic increase of costs of goods and services and its impact on a new agreement.
The Finance Purchasing staff researched landscape agreements and RFPs from nearby municipalities to compare. There were three recently approved landscape agreements from the City of Elk Grove, City of Lodi, and City of Merced. Per the table below, each agreement saw significant increases; 52%, 22% and 66%, respectively.

A recent RFP for landscape services for the City of Los Banos also resulted with significant increases. Their current agreement cost $532,586 annually. The lowest bid received was 57% higher at $840,000 per year. As a result, the City of Los Banos extended their current agreement until a revised RFP could be issued with limited scopes and costs more in-line with their current landscaping budget.
Purchasing agreed that, given the current economic conditions, it was likely that if a request for bids for a new agreement was advertised, the City would receive bids significantly higher than the cost of the current agreement. It was determined that the City would be able to obtain a better price by negotiating directly with Grover Landscaping for a new extension to the existing agreement. Pursuant to Municipal Code section 8-3.204(d), the City is not required to follow the normal competitive bidding procedures when the Purchasing Manager determines that a different process will result in a procurement for the City at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the desired quality. This extension will be for the remaining term through October 24, 2026.

City Council, February 14, 2023
Fourth Amendment to Landscape Maintenance Services Agreement
The Fourth Amendment will extend the agreement for the remaining term of the extension through October 2026. Annual increases will not exceed the Western Urban Consumer Price Index. Price adjustments for fuel increases will be considered and be based on the fuel index by the Energy Information Administration.
Each department will be absorbing the increases in their respective budget for the first year.
Budget increases for subsequent years will be included during the budget process.
On January 23, 2023, the Finance Committee approved an initial spending plan related to Measure H for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to address quality of life issues in the community. The Committee approved $151,000 in funding for Annual Spring Cleanups along the City’s major roadways including Briggsmore Avenue, Pelandale Avenue and Sisk Road. Approved funding is being allocated to the Park Operations division to add Annual Spring Cleanups along these roadways to the City-wide Landscape Maintenance Services Agreement. These cleanups add up to $151,000 annually for a total of $604,000 to cover Spring 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff requests an increase of $10,745,509 to the Agreement with Grover Landscape Services to a new total not to exceed $25,119,624. Annual increases will not exceed the Western Urban Consumer Price Index. Price adjustments for fuel increases will be considered and be based on the fuel index by the Energy Information Administration. The table below breaks down the cost by year and department.
If approved, each department will absorb their corresponding increases in their budget for the first year. Budget increases for subsequent years will be included during the annual budget process.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
February 14, 2023
Date: January 25, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
SUBJECT: Initial Spending Plan Related to Measure H
CONTACT: Steve Christensen, Budget Manager, [email protected] 209-577-5390
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving an initial spending plan related to Measure H for Fiscal Year 2022- 23 to address quality of life issues in the community; and authorizing the City Manager to carry out the necessary steps to implement the initial spending plan related to Measure H. (Funding Source: Measure H General Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan focus on Governance and Service Delivery under Goal H: Achieve Financial Sustainability.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto faced years of deficits in its budget since the Great Recession in 2008.
This structural deficit was systemic and ongoing. Despite the increase in service demands over the years, significant cuts have been made to every portion of the City’s budget, impacting public safety, parks, road conditions and traffic safety, and our ability to combat blight and homelessness.
Ultimately, this resulted in staffing reductions by 27% (225 FTEs) in the General Fund departments. This includes 77 sworn police positions, 56 fire personnel, and 92 other positions in General Fund departments. Over time, these tiered reductions in staffing levels adversely affected the City’s ability to deliver a high level of service to the community and achieve the Council’s goals.
On November 8, 2022, the Modesto voters approved Measure H, a one-cent sales tax for general City services, and on November 29, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-453 the Modesto City Council certified the election results. Measure H is expected to provide the City with approximately $39 million annually in additional sales tax revenue into its General Fund. #26..
- 1001 -
City Council, February 14, 2023
Initial Spending Plan Related to Measure H
The City expects the State of California to begin collecting the additional sales tax revenue starting April 1, 2023, with the first remittance expected in June 2023. This additional revenue will represent one-quarter of a fiscal year and is anticipated at approximately $10 million.
Because the revenue was not anticipated when the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget was adopted in June of 2022, this additional funding is currently unallocated and therefore available for any general purpose.
DISCUSSION:
With the passage of Measure H, the citizens of Modesto made it clear, that they desire an increased level of service, specifically addressing the most pressing needs in the community.
The measure identified examples of expenditures that allow the City to proactively develop a plan to improve City services and the quality of life for the citizens of Modesto including:
Funding to address police patrols, gang, drug and crime prevention. Funding to address fire protection, paramedic, and 911 emergency response. Funding to address homelessness.
Funding for cleaning up trash and illegal dumping.
Funding for keeping streets, parks, sidewalks, landscapes and infrastructure safe, clean and well-maintained.
Staff analyzed various aspects of their departments to identify where they can immediately have the greatest impact on the community within the scope of the measure. Accordingly, staff developed an initial plan to address these needs and to begin delivering and increased level of service as soon as possible. The following is a proposed plan to begin addressing these needs by Department:

Total Proposed Improvement Funding $ 4,477,003 $ 2,381,300 One additional component of this plan is related to the Community Health and Assistance Team (CHAT). Additional funding is being provided to the City for the CHAT program via the Community Corrections Partnership Plan (CCP) for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Each county is given an allocation of CCP funding to manage AB109 population. AB109 realigned custodial and community supervision responsibilities for non-serious, non-violent, and non-sex offenders from the state level to the local level. It was primarily enacted to relieve overcrowding in the State Prison system and reinvest resources to support evidence-based practices and programs. The funding received can be used for salary and benefit expenditures for positions.
With the funding received from the CCP, the City will be able to make the following improvements to the CHAT program:
CHAT Improvements (Funded by Community Corrections Partnership Plan (CCP) Funding) Proposed Improvement Description Location Cost Addition of Outreach Specialist Positions (CHAT) Adding 4 Outreach Specialists will expand the City's existing Community Health and Assistance Team (CHAT) Program to respond to qualifying 9-1-1 calls for mental health and quality of life issues as well as self-initiated activities. Citywide $ 331,576 Addition of Senior Outreach Specialist Positions (CHAT)With an expansion of Outreach Specialists and knowing the workload and follow-up needed for many of the contacts made by the team, two "lead" or Senior Outreach Specialists are needed to help manage workflow, case oversight and to provide day- to-day functional direction to the team to maximize efficiencies.
Citywide $ 198,600
Addition of Crime Analyst Position

In addition to providing performance reporting on the back end, the Crime Analyst will also be able to assist the team with spotting trends or other in-field information that will maximize their impact.
Citywide $ 91,883
Total CCP Funded Improvements $ 622,059
The total amount of $622,059 will not be funded with Measure H funding, as noted above, but is included in this item as the position allocations that are necessary to complete the CHAT program improvements will require Council approval. While the amounts shown above are not #26..

City Council, February 14, 2023
Initial Spending Plan Related to Measure H
funded through Measure H funding, it should be noted that a small portion of the one-time expenditures under the Police Department improvements for portable radios, body cameras, and cell phone equipment would be attributed to the new CHAT positions described above.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The sales tax receipts from Measure H start being collected on April 1, 2023. Collections from the time period of April to June of Fiscal Year 2022-23 are estimated at approximately $10 million. As noted above, these funds have not been budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Operating Budget.
The primary goal contained within the proposed initial spending plan is to begin making immediate investments in the community as outlined in the department submittals above. The total initial spending plan for Measure H funding is requested at $4.48 million. This will leave approximately $5.52 million in remaining initial Measure H funds that will be brought for consideration to Council Committee and then the full Council for approval for spending at a later date. Outside of this initial spending plan, staff, in coordination with the City Council, will develop a full spending plan for the future anticipated revenues for Fiscal Year 2023-24 and beyond that will be developed through a Council workshop and the City’s annual budget process.
Additional positions will be requested related to the CHAT program. The additional requested positions of four Outreach Specialists, two Senior Outreach Specialists, and one Crime Analyst will be funded by the Community Corrections Partnership Plan (CCP) funding in the amount of $622,059. The CHAT improvement will require a portion of Measure H funding for one-time equipment purchases related to the new CHAT positions in the amount of $28,000. The positions requested are included as part of this item as an amendment to the position allocation for Fiscal Year 2022-23 will require Council approval.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item was presented to the Finance Committee on January 23, 2023 and was recommended to be forwarded to Council for approval. It must be noted that one additional change to the initial spending plan has been made since the item was taken to Finance Committee. One item has been added to the initial spending plan under the Public Works Department for the “Addition of Two Illegal Dumping/Abatement Quick Response Teams”. This item was added to the initial spending plan as it was considered an important recommendation based on community needs and it falls within the examples of expenditures that accompanied the ballot measure language of Measure H.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Resolution approving an initial spending plan related to Measure H for Fiscal Year 2022-23 to address quality of life issues in the community; and authorizing the City Manager to carry out the necessary steps to implement the initial spending plan related to Measure H.

CITY OF MODESTO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:
February 14, 2023
Date: January 12, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Hill, Acting Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: Comprehensive Housing Plan that Provides Strategies and Recommendations for Increasing the Supply and Choice of Housing in Modesto
CONTACT: Jessica Hill, Acting Planning Manager, [email protected], 209-577-5321 DESCRIPTION:
Consider adopting the Comprehensive Housing Plan that provides strategies and recommendations for increasing the supply and choice of housing in Modesto. (Funding: SB2 Planning Grant).
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City’s (2020-2025) Strategic Plan, Goal C: Develop Homelessness and Housing Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California’s Senate Bill 2 (SB 2)1 planning grant program provides funding to cities and counties for the preparation, adoption and implementation of plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. In July 2020, the Council accepted an SB 2 grant of $625,000, earmarked for several housing-related projects. One of the efforts was a Comprehensive Housing Plan to complete strategies and recommendations for increasing the supply and choice of housing in Modesto. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for preparation of this Housing Plan in late 2020, and in June 2021, per Resolution 2021-292, the Council approved a contract with Opticos Design, Inc. (Opticos) to prepare the Plan.
Since that time, Opticos has been working on developing a draft Housing Plan, using input received from public workshops held throughout the plan development phase.
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Plan is a citywide study to determine how best to increase and diversify Modesto’s housing stock to serve the current and future needs of its residents. The study methodology includes an analysis of citywide data, current regulations, and physical context to identify existing and potential barriers to the production of a wider range of housing types. Based on the analysis #27..

City Council, February 14, 2023
Comprehensive Housing Plan that Provides Strategies and Recommendations for Increasing the Supply and Choice of Housing in Modesto
findings and additional research of industry best practices, the Housing Plan provides a set of zoning and policy recommendations that can inform updates to the City’s General Plan Land Use Map, Housing Element, and Zoning Code. Through effective implementation, the Housing Plan’s recommendations can be a significant step to increasing the housing stock and choice in Modesto.
The plan includes a feasibility (development proforma) analysis to not only ensure that the recommendations are vetted against current housing market conditions, but also to identify what innovations can lead to increasing the viability of proposed projects in the coming years. Potential housing solutions catering to the needs of a wide variety of household groups are illustrated using hypothetical build-outs on a selection of “opportunity sites” citywide that provide a clear picture of potential built outcomes, including suggested phasing. These opportunity site renderings use the tested building prototypes deemed feasible for Modesto’s current market conditions.
The Housing Plan recommendations are categorized by housing policy and zoning standards.
The policy recommendations are aligned with larger regional housing policy updates in-progress, i.e. the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), and also include a summary of the process to guide Modesto to continue to streamline and encourage housing production in the City. The citywide recommendations are illustrated through a set of scenarios that model the outcomes of implementing key recommended zoning changes. The intent is to provide decision-makers and the community clear outcomes to choose from, when considering what recommendations to implement. The Housing Plan estimates that the recommended scenarios could result in additional housing in excess of 11,000 new dwelling units in the community.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Housing Plan is funded by a SB 2 State Housing Grant. The contract with Opticos for production of the Housing Plan is $355,805, all of which is funded through the SB 2 grant which is housed in Project 101266; therefore, there is no direct impact to the General Fund.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The item was presented to the Economic Development Committee on September 14, 2022, and the Committee recommended forwarding to Council for approval.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Resolution adopting the Housing Plan that provides strategies and recommendations for increasing the supply of housing in Modesto.

A Roadmap to Identify Barriers and
Increase Housing Choices in Modesto
The Plan is a focused document that explores ways to
expand housing choice while responding to shifting
household needs, growing demand for walkable
neighborhoods, and the urgent need for attainable
housing at different price points.
The Housing Plan provides planning and policy
guidance to remove barriers and boost housing
production. It will inform the City’s long-term
planning approach and housing policy in the General
Plan and Housing Element.
An Effort to Provide Housing Choices
for Everyone
Housing affordability and equitable housing access
are top priorities of the City and the Housing Plan. In order to comprehensively address these issues, the
Housing Plan will focus on how to increase housing
production at all price points to enable housing
opportunities for current and future residents of
Modesto.

Below: Prevalent
development patterns
and housing types need
to be rethought in order to
meet Modesto's changing
housing needs.
1.1 Housing in Modesto
Today
Housing Demand
Modesto is experiencing a housing
shortage as well as a lack of housing
diversity, limiting housing choices
for its residents. As a thriving Central
Valley city in the Bay Area's orbit,
Modesto feels regional growth
pressures and is a desirable place to
call home. Modesto boasts a high
quality of life and, compared to other
parts of the state, relatively low housing
prices. Demand is increasing as costs
in other metro areas (like the Bay
Area and Sacramento) are becoming
increasingly expensive.
The State of California has projected
that Modesto would need 11,248 new
housing units by the year 2030 in
order to keep up with housing demand
and take on its proportional share to
alleviate the statewide housing crisis.
For scale, in the 11 years between
2010 and 2021, Modesto has added
only 1,956 units, representing a 2.5
percent increase in the total housing
stock. Clearly, the demand is greatly
outpacing the number of new units
being constructed.
Market Conditions
Reflecting the housing demand, home
values have been steadily rising since
2012, and fully recovered from the Great
Recession in September 2021.
Housing costs in Modesto are
significantly lower than in other parts
of California. The median home value
in Modesto is $431,000. Rental prices
are approximately 75 percent of the
statewide average and have been
steadily rising around 8.5 percent per
year since 2014.

considering the unique needs of
Modestans from all walks of life
I'm a single person.
I need a studio
apartment that's close
to where I work and
bikeable to downtown.
We are roommates.
We need a threebedroom unit with
space to host. We're not
into yard work, and don't
need a backyard.
We are retirees. We
need a home where
we are surrounded by
community. We don't
drive and prefer to be very
close to what we need.
We are a couple.
We need a small place
where we know our
neighbors. We want
to be able to walk to
shops and restaurants.

Modestans' Housing Needs Are Changing
More than ever, households are
looking for new housing options
and are willing to make tradeoffs to
achieve their desired lifestyles.
People are evaluating housing and lifestyle choices with questions like:
■ What are my options if I want to
continue living in my neighborhood
but no longer want or need my
single-family home?
■ I want to support my family by
having them live with me, what are
my housing options?
■ What mobility options will I have?
Will I need to rely on a car to get
everywhere?
■What can I walk to? Am I willing to
live in a smaller unit in order to be
within walking distance of amenities
and services?
■ How sustainable is this lifestyle
choice?
■ What are my choices when I can no
longer drive and do not want to be
isolated?

Local Demographic Trends
Modesto's population is expected
to increase by 19 percent over the
next 30 years, from 219,500 in 2020 to
261,500 in 2050, according to the US
Census Bureau. Its population will also
continue becoming more diverse. The
Latino population has increased from
24 to 41 percent from 2000 to 2020,
and will be 45 of Modesto's population
by 2050.
Modesto is projected to add 7,742
households over the next decade, and
18,000 households through 2050.
Modesto is also anticipated to add the
highest number of jobs in the county,
24 percent over the next 30 years
Stanislaus County is expected to face
similar demographic changes. Over
55 percent of its population in 2050
will be Latino. Its population over 65
years will increase by 86 percent
from 2020 to 2050, and in 2050, will
form 21 percent of the total population.
The ratio of single-person households,
currently 27 percent, is anticipated to
increase. To meet its housing needs,
Stanislaus County needs 2,500 new
housing units per year for the next
decade, with 1,500 new units annually
for the following two decades.

National Demographic Trends
The changes seen in Modesto's
demographics are not unusual, and
reflect national demographics trends
and changing housing preferences.
According to the US Census Bureau,
30 percent of all households today
are single-person households, and
this trend is anticipated to increase.
By 2025, 75 to 85 percent of US
households will not have children.
Americans are also aging. The ratio
of the senior population has been
increasing steadily, and by 2050, one
in every five Americans will be over
65 years of age. Another key trend is
that of ethnicity. By 2050, 29 percent
of the population will be Latino.
These key demographic shifts signal
a pressing need to create more
diverse housing types that better fit
our changing lifestyles and housing
needs. Recent surveys have revealed
that a significant percentage of the
population would prefer alternate
housing types to the Single-Family
home. To meet this demand will need
a concerted effort by jurisdictions,
financing institutions and the
development community.

>70%
of Modesto's
housing stock
are singlefamily homes
Right: The range of housing
types built in Modesto
between 2010 - 2021. The
largest category was of
Single-Family detached
homes.
Single-Family Homes
In recent years, most housing
produced in the region and across the
state has consisted of Single-Family
detached homes and, at the other
end of the spectrum, large multi-unit
buildings. However, what has been
missing is small-scale multi-unit
housing types, also known as Missing
Middle Housing. These types, including
Duplexes, Triplexes, Fourplexes,
Townhomes, Cottage Courts, and
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), can
provide more housing options across
a wider range of incomes and tenure,
from young households seeking
their first home, to seniors looking to
downsize and age-in-place.
The housing stock of Modesto in 2021
was made up of 69.5 percent SingleFamily detached homes, 4.2 percent Single-Family attached homes, 10.2
percent multi-family homes with 2
to 4 units, 13.1 percent multi-family
homes with 5 or more units, and 3
percent mobile homes. In Modesto,
the housing type that experienced the
most growth between 2010 and 2021
was Single-Family detached.
Single-Family Zoning
The predominant zoning district across
Modesto is R-1, which allows detached
single-family homes and accessory
dwelling units. This limits other
housing types and cannot provide for
the diverse housing needs indicated by
demographic trends.

Housing Insecurity
The number of residents who own
their homes compared to those who
rent their homes can help identify the
level of housing insecurity – ability for
individuals to stay in their homes – in a
city and region. Generally, renters may
be displaced more quickly if prices
increase. In Modesto there are a total
of 72,332 occupied housing units,
and fewer residents rent than own
their homes (44.9 percent versus 55.1
percent). By comparison, 42.2 percent
of households in Stanislaus County are
renters, while 45.2 percent of California
households rent their homes.
The Trends
According to U.S. Census data, the
median rent increased by 6.3
percent in Modesto from 2010 to
2019, from $1,173 to $1,286 per month.
In Stanislaus County, the median rent
has increased 3.6 percent, from $1,192
to $1,235. Median rent is lower in both
absolute value and rate of growth
compared to the state as a whole, with
statewide median rents increasing 15.6
percent, from $1,409 to $1,629, in the
same time period.
The median home value in Modesto is
currently at $431,000, a new peak since
the Great Recession. Home values have
steadily increased since 2012, and in
September 20212 overtook previous
2006 peak.
Between 2020-2021, Modesto home
prices increased by 11%, the fourthhighest semi-annual increase among all US metro areas.

Final Plan — July 2022 Modesto Housing Plan 15
#27..

2.1 The Housing Types
Why Housing Types Matter
Residential buildings can be
categorized into housing types
according to their physical form.
Detached houses, duplexes,
townhouses, and courtyard buildings
are all examples of housing types.
Physical form - the shape and size
of a building, and its placement on
a lot - is an important consideration
when establishing policies to deliver
multi-unit housing in a way that
expands housing options and also has
a positive impact on the surrounding
neighborhood.
Understanding Building Form
Buildings can be categorized into two
groups: house-scale buildings and
block-scale buildings. The types
allowed within these categories should
be determined on the basis of the
existing neighborhood context and the
intended physical character.
House-scale buildings are those that
match the size of a typical house,
in terms of form, height, building
footprint, and architectural details.
House-scale buildings typically have
a maximum height of 3 stories and
can include Single-Family houses as
well as many Missing Middle Housing
types: Duplexes, Triplexes, Fourplexes,
Small Multiplexes, Cottage Courts, and
Courtyard Buildings.
Block-scale buildings are those that are
individually as large as a block or most
of a block; or, when arranged together
along a street, appear as long as most
or all of a block. Examples include
Large Multiplexes, Townhomes, etc.
Housing Types As A Tool
Housing types are the increment of
design and development. The analysis
in this Housing Plan is intended to
provide actionable outcomes, and
housing types enable the Plan to
produce findings that are accurate and
applicable to actual sites. In contrast
to applying generic density numbers
to arrive at housing capacity, this Plan
uses building types on typical existing
lots so that the results are based on
actual site conditions.
Understanding housing types is
a critical step in enabling greater
housing diversity and choice.

2.1 The Housing Types Chapter 2 — Housing Opportunities #27..
- 1060 -
Missing Middle Housing Types
Missing Middle Housing is a range of
building types that are house-scale
buildings with multiple units in
walkable neighborhoods. A few key
features include:
■ Smaller units to suit a variety of
lifestyles
■ Lower cost of construction per
square foot
■ Blend in well with single-family
neighborhoods and transition areas
Adding to Housing Choice
Missing Middle types provide highquality, marketable options between the scales of single-unit homes
and mid-rise apartments. They
are designed to meet the specific
needs of shifting demographics
and new market demands and are
a key component in neighborhoods
offering diverse housing choices.
They are called “missing” because
very few of these housing types
have been built since the early 1940s
due to regulatory constraints, the
shift to auto-dependent patterns of
development, and the incentivization
of single-unit homeownership by
the federal government. Before the
1940s, they were a natural part of
the housing mix, helping to provide
housing choices to people at different
stages in their life and income levels.
Communities and organizations,
including AARP, are realizing that
Missing Middle Housing is important
in helping neighborhoods thrive while
providing housing choices as people
age; and can help them downsize
and continue to live in their familiar
surroundings.
A Walkable Context
A critical characteristic of the Missing
Middle types is that they are most
effective when located within a
walkable context. Buyers or renters
of these housing types are choosing
to trade larger suburban housing for
less space, less yard to maintain and
proximity to services and amenities
such as restaurants, markets, services,
and employment.

Townhouses
Two or more attached two- or
three-story dwellings with zero side
yard setbacks. Each dwelling is
designed for use by a single family.
This type is typically located within
medium-density neighborhoods
or in a location that transitions
from a primarily single-family
neighborhood into a neighborhood
main street.
Single-Family House
A small- to medium-sized detached
structure on a medium-to-large
sized lot that incorporates one
unit. It is typically located within a
primarily single-family residential
neighborhood.
Carriage House
An accessory structure typically
located at the rear of a building
site that provides either a small
residential unit, home office space,
or other small commercial or
service use, as allowed by the zone.
The unit may be above a garage or
at ground level.
Cottage Court
A group of small, detached
structures, providing multiple units
arranged to define a shared court
that is typically perpendicular to
the street. The shared court takes
the place of a private rear yard
and is an important communityenhancing element.
Potential Future Housing Types in Modesto
These housing types
can provide options
for Modesto's
current and future
housing needs.
Why these?
These types are
suitable for different
contexts existing
in Modesto and
meet current
market demands for
housing choices.

2.1 The Housing Types Chapter 2 — Housing Opportunities #27..
- 1062 -
Duplex
A small- to medium-sized structure
that consists of two dwelling
units, one on top of the other or
side-by-side, both of which face
and are entered from the street.
This type has the appearance of
a medium to large single-family
home and is appropriately scaled
to fit within primarily single-family
neighborhoods or medium-density
neighborhoods.
Multiplex
A medium-sized building that
consists of five to 18 side-by-side
and/or stacked dwelling units,
typically with one shared entry or
individual entries along the front
and sometimes along one or both
sides.
Live/Work
A small- to medium-sized attached
or detached structure consisting of
one dwelling unit above or behind
a flexible ground floor space for
residential, service, or retail uses.
Both the primary ground-floor flex
space and the second unit are
owned by one entity.
Triplex/Fourplex
A medium structure that consists
of three or four units. These can
take various configurations. A
typical triplex layout has three units
stacked on top of one another. A
fourplex typically has two units on
the ground floor and two above
with a shared entry.
Podium/Liner Building
A medium- to large-sized structure,
typically attached, intended to
provide a vertical mix of uses
with ground-floor retail or service
uses and upper-floor service or
residential uses.
Courtyard Apartment
A medium- to large-sized multifamily structure containing six to twenty dwellings and arranged
to share one or more common
courtyards. The courtyard serves
as a semi-public space, as its use
is shared among units. Each unit
may have its own individual entry,
or up to three units may share a
common entry.

Future planning and policy should
enable innovative housing
configurations that can help familiar
buildings provide new housing options
through retrofits or new uses.
Future-Proofing the Housing Stock
Complementing the housing types
identified on the previous pages,
the following innovative housing
configurations should be considered,
that add inherent flexibility to the way
that buildings can provide housing
units, helping to "future-proof" the
existing housing stock. Examples
include co-housing, senior housing,
tiny homes, and others depicted
here. These innovative housing
configurations are not typically
allowed by-right in many jurisdictions,
and policy and code changes are
recommended to enable these to be
built.
Co-housing
1-2 story buildings with
common spaces designed by
the residents for communal use.
Co-living
3-4 story buildings with units
that share a kitchen and other
communal living spaces.
Tiny homes
Very small single-unit houses,
often with lofted sleeping
space; sometimes portable.
New Housing Configurations

Micro-Units
Very small studio units (under
400 sf) in an apartment
configuration.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Additional small units typically at
the rear of the lot, either above a
garage or at ground level.
Multigenerational

2.2 Analyzing Physical
Characteristics
Context Types
Modesto includes different kinds of
places. Within Modesto, you can find
a busy street lined with shops and
restaurants; a quiet neighborhood
of single-family homes; the active
sidewalks of downtown; the compact
tree-lined streets near the center of
town; and an area with both active
industrial uses and transitioning uses
within former industrial buildings.
These different kinds of places
are examples of context types.
Evaluating the context types present
in Modesto and categorizing different
areas of the city enables the following
analysis to be sensitive to the unique
needs and opportunities, as well as
appropriate future vision, for different
places within Modesto.
Context types were determined by a
variety of factors relating to physical
form and character, including:
■ Existing building form
■ Street and block pattern
■ Lot sizes, widths and depths
■ Connectivity and access
■ Mobility options + transit
■ Access to amenities
Lifestyle Choices
The diversity of context types within
Modesto reflects the opportunity
for a diversity of lifestyle choices and
activities for the city's residents. As
highlighted in Chapter One, families
are evaluating housing and lifestyle
choices as their needs change. The
range, intensity, and character of
housing will depend on its context;
not all housing types can work in
every context type. Understanding the
context types within Modesto helps
identify the diversity of lifestyle
options and housing choices
currently available, as well as what
opportunities exist to build upon
Modesto's unique character to expand
lifestyle and housing choices where
demand exists.
In order to meet the demand for
Modestans' lifestyle preferences,
Modesto needs to provide housing
within the context types that
accommodate those lifestyles.
Preferences about housing types,
levels of walkability, and accessibility
of transit are just some of the factors
that households consider when
determining which context types suit
their lifestyles.
Where matters as much as
what type of housing.

Why Lot Sizes Matter
Lot width and depth are key lot
characteristics that impact the
building types that can fit on that
particular lot, taking into consideration
the building footprint, parking and
regulatory requirements that apply.
The lot width and depth analysis
discussed in this section identified five
lot size categories that correspond
to a range of building types that can
physically fit on those lots. From this
palette of viable building types, the
recommended types also take into
consideration the underlying character
of that context.
Determining Lot Size
Categories
Lot size categories were determined
through two types of analysis: citywide
analysis of lot widths and depths, and
dimensional analysis of housing types.
In the citywide analysis of lot widths
and depths, the dimensions for all lots
in the city were arranged in a matrix,
grouped in five-foot increments,
to reveal the most prevalent lot
dimensions throughout the city.
Dimensional analyis of housing types
enabled the creation of meaningful
lot size categories. The building types
identified for each context type were
analyzed to determine the minimum
and typical lot dimensions required.
This analysis accounted for the
typical physical form of the building,
regulatory requirements like setbacks
in each applicable zoning district,
and relevant surrounding factors
such as the presence or absence of
alleys (lots with alleys do not need
to accommodate a driveway, which
impacts the lot width required to
support a particular building type).
3.1 Lot Size Analysis
Lot size categorization enables an
understanding of which housing
types can physically fit on existing
lots in Modesto, and where.

Sorting Lot Sizes by Context
Type
After completing citywide lot size
analysis, these results were sorted
to show lot sizes for each of the five
context types. This step indicated
which lot sizes were most prevalent in
each context type and informed the
selection of typical lot sizes for further
test fit analysis.
For example, the matrix showed that
60 feet width by 100 feet deep is
the most commonly occurring lot
size within Modesto, with 4,556 lots
having this dimension. Further analysis
sorting lot size categories by context
type revealed that the vast majority
of these lots (4,499 of the 4,556
citywide) were located in the Suburban
Residential context type. As a result,
this lot dimension was selected as a
typical dimension for the Suburban
Residential test fit, but was not used
for test fits in other context types.
Identifying Typical Lots
The value of selecting representative
lot sizes for test fits specific to each
context type is that the results
generated will be repeatable on other
lots in that context type, and a single
test fit result can be representative of a
commonly-occurring condition.

3.2 Test Fits and Financial
Feasibility Analysis
The Purpose of Test Fits
Test fits involve the design testing of
typical building prototypes on select
lot configurations. Test fits are a critical
step in understanding the following
three aspects of housing viability:
■ Financial feasibility of particular
housing types within each context
type, evaluated through a static
developer pro forma.
■ Compatible physical form with the
existing surrounding context and
desired neighborhood character.
■ Regulatory barriers to developing
particular housing types appropriate
to each context type, depending
on the zoning and regulatory
requirements applicable for each
context type.
Since specific building types have
inherent minimum dimensions,
lot testing reveals the impacts and
limitations of lot width and lot depth
toward building size and off-street
parking. The test fit process seeks to
optimize the unit count and parking
count for a given lot size, with
respect to desired building form,
while remaining financially feasible.
Since this involves using actual
building types and site and parking
layout, the results are more precise
than numeric calculations based only
on density or FAR.
Performing "test fits" is an essential
step to inform the cost feasibility
analysis of new housing options,
determine compatible physical
form, and identify regulatory
barriers to housing production.
Step 1: Test Fit Potential Build-Outs
36 Modesto Housing Plan Final Plan — July 2022
3.2 Test Fits and Financial Feasibility Analysis Chapter 3 — Testing Potential Housing Solutions #27..
- 1080 -
Determining the Inputs
Test fits were performed for a selection
of building types on typical lots in each
context type. Lot sizes for each context
type were selected according to the
methodology presented in Section 3.3.
Building types were selected from a
range of appropriate types identified
for each context type, as discussed in
Section 3.3.
Step 2: Test Financial Feasibility
Iterative Learning
The test fits consisted of two rounds
of design and feasibility analysis. For
each round, the development program
achieved from the lot test was
analyzed for financial feasibility by the
team economist, following the steps
outlined below.
Determine market rents for comparable projects
Determine capital costs of construction (hard and soft costs) using RS Means localized to Modesto figures
Carry out Residual Land Value analysis to determine the underlying land cost
Analyze proposed typologies using a static cash flow model considering comparable rents, cost of land and capital costs to determine project profitability

3.3 Detailed Examples of
Test Fit Results
Details of select test fits are
included in this section to illustrate
the test fit process.
Assumptions Behind Each Test
Fit
Each test fit combines several kinds of
assumptions to produce a prototype.
These assumptions are listed for
example test fits on the following
pages.
Assumptions about buildings include
the following:
■ Number of dwelling units per
building
■ Building height
■ Building width and depth
■ Density
■ Floor area ratio (FAR)
■ Number of parking spaces
Assumptions about the lots on which
the buildings are placed include the
following:
■ Lot width
■ Lot depth
■ Front and side setbacks
■ Driveway width
These assumptions were used to
calculate financial feasibility based on
residual value to acquisition cost ratio.
Detailed Examples
In order to illustrate the test fit process,
two prototypical examples for each
context type are included on the

This test used Stacked Flats to utilize the
lot to its fullest potential. Since 50 feet
is the most common lot width in this
context, this scenario indicates a common
infill option.
The financial model showed this prototype
to be financially feasible. As a result, this
type could contribute to additional
housing in Modesto if the existing
standards are altered.
This test is noteworthy because of the
limited height that results on this common
lot size. Although the CD standards
have a height range of 3 to 15 stories,
this model could only reach 4 stories
with half the number of parking spaces
required by current regualtions.

Example Test Fits in a Mixed-Use Corridor Context
This lot test used a Multiplex with 12
smaller units, with a building footprint
similar to that of a medium-to-large SingleFamily house. This building type was tested to illustrate how an appropriately
scaled residential building could fit into the
Mixed-Use Corridor context.
The financial model showed this prototype
to be financially feasible. As a result, this
type could contribute to additional
housing in Modesto if the existing
standards are altered.
This test fit assumes the underlying zoning
is a Commercial zone. Since residential
development in Commercial zones
requires a conditional use permit and
must adhere to R-2 or R-3 development
standards, the maximum allowed density,
minimum parking, setbacks, and driveway
width requirements pose barriers to this
development.

This lot test used a combination of a
Courtyard Building along the main street
and Townhouses along the side street.
This strategy allows for larger units in
the Townhouses and smaller units in the
Courtyard Building, with shared parking
available in the rear for all units.
The financial model showed this prototype
to be financially feasible. As a result, this
type could contribute to additional
housing in Modesto if the existing
standards are altered.
This test fit assumes the underlying zoning
is a Commercial zone. Since residential
development in Commercial zones
requires a conditional use permit and
must adhere to R-2 or R-3 development
standards, the maximum allowed density
and setback requirements pose barriers to
this development.

Example Test Fits in a Downtown Adjacent Context
This lot test used a typical stacked
Fourplex building type with smaller
individual units, and an overall building
footprint that closely matches that
of a medium-to-large Single-Family
house. This type was selected for the
Downtown Adjacent context because
of its appropriate intensity for walkable
neighborhoods near downtown.

Although 50 feet is the most common lot
width in the Downtown Adjacent context,
the minimum lot width requirement is
60 feet. In addition to decreasing the
minimum required lot width, setbacks,

increasing the number of units on the lot
or decreasing the parking ratios further
could enable this scenario to be even more

Example Test Fits in a Suburban Residential Context
This lot test used a typical stacked Duplex
building type. A typical Duplex has
smaller individual units, with an overall
building footprint that closely matches
that of a medium Single-Family house.
This type was tested for the Suburban
Residential context in order to best
coordinate with the existing low-intensity
built environment.
The financial model showed this
prototype to be financially infeasible but
with higher rents than currently seen
in Modesto. As a result, this type will
make limited contribution to additional
housing in Modesto. The feasibility could
increase if a Fourplex were to be built,
but given the existing conditions of the
Suburban Residential context, significant
increases in intensity beyond SingleFamily housing is unlikely.

4.1 Opportunity Site Analysis
Overview
The Next Step After Test Fits
As described in the previous chapter,
the "test fits" process tested building
prototypes on commonly occurring lot
sizes for financial feasibility. The test fit
results provided an overview of which
housing types would be financially
feasible on typical lots within each
context type.
Opportunity site testing takes the
test fits analysis one step further.
Armed with the understanding of
the kinds of housing that are feasible
and appropriate on prototypical lots,
opportunity site testing analyzes
the housing capacity of actual sites
throughout Modesto. Because these
sites are actual rather than idealized (as
in the test fits), they present additional
constraints to which the conceptual
layouts must be responsive.
Beyond A Simple Capacity
Study
Each opportunity site has a sample
conceptual site design that not only fits
the feasibility constraints discovered
during test fits, but also is consistent
with design principles that produce a
sense of place. A simple capacity study
might evaluate a site, determine which
feasible housing type would yield the
highest number of units, and repeat
that same housing type in the most
efficient configuration possible.
Below: An illustration of
an opportunity site design,
representing a hypothetical
build-out to calculate
potential new housing. Note
that this is an illustrative
rendering and does not
represent any actual design
proposal.

- 1098 -
My mother just retired and
wants to move near us, but
doesn't want a single-family
house. What if we combine
different types of housing on
a single site?
What if some of those
underutilized parking lots near
Downtown were transformed
into housing? Could there be
a new walkable neighborhood
for us in Modesto?
However, the opportunity site analysis
approach goes a step beyond a simple
capacity study, because the conceptual
site designs balance the need to
maximize housing capacity with
creating a desirable place to live.
As an example of the contrast between
these two approaches, a simple
capacity study might assume that
tuck-under townhouses (an efficient
building type) cover an entire 10-acre
site. While that would pack in a large
number of housing units, it will not
create any housing diversity or a
sense of community. In contrast, the
opportunity site sample plan may
include townhouses, but would likely
include other building types as well,
and may provide a common open
space (like a neighborhood park) to
serve a site of this size. Because the
sample designs plan for long-term
value and livability, they may not
always reach the theoretical maximum
capacity of a site. However, they are
more representative of a desirable
development approach that creates a
place where people want to live.

Criteria for Selection
After studying the housing capacity of
prototypical individual lots, the team
dove deeper by selecting a series of
actual sites for further study. These
sites were selected based upon:
■ The site's potential capacity for new
housing
■ The development configuration
required to optimize development
potential and financial feasibility
■ Current conditions on the site (e.g.
underperforming uses, underutilized
lots, vacant lots, etc.)
■ Repeatability of findings across
multiple sites (i.e. the availability of
similar sites throughout Modesto)
Behind-the-Scenes Analysis
Before selecting any individual
opportunity sites, the consultant
team performed test fits of various
building types on a wide range of
typical lots found within each current
residential zoning district and within
each context type. The analysis
focused on determining financial
feasibility, evaluating current regulatory
standards, and testing the housing
capacity on typical lots citywide. These
preliminary findings informed the
selection of, and design approach to,
the opportunity sites.

As a first step, a single L-shaped courtyard building
is built on this shallow site. The courtyard building's shape enables the unit entries face the courtyard,
rather than directly facing Crows Landing Road. The
courtyard creates a buffer space between the bustle
of the corridor and the private units.
As a second step, a second U-shaped courtyard
building is added on the remainder of the site. This
building gives a sense of enclosure to the L-shaped
courtyard, and creates a second courtyard space of
its own. These courtyard buildings have tuck-under
parking accessed from an alley allocated on the site.
The existing retail buildings and parking lot remain
behind the courtyard buildings. The rendering also

Why This Site
Some sites at the edges of Downtown are vacant or underutilized. In some locations, lots have been, or could be, consolidated to enable a development approach that provides a mix of housing types along the street while pooling the parking for all units behind the buildings, in the middle of the block. This site includes lots owned by CrossPoint Community Church, an organization that has expressed interest in redeveloping some of its land for community-serving purposes. The site is an example of redevelopment that could occur at either a quarter-block or half-block scale when lots are consolidated.
Opportunity Site Overview
Citywide
Applicability
This development approach,
with a mix of building types
and pooled parking behind
the buildings, is applicable
to all lots at least 200' wide
in the downtown grid.
As shown in the map on the
right, within the Downtown
Transition context type,
there are 82 lots that meet
this criteria and are suitable
for this development
approach.

Plan, four opportunity sites in Downtown
Modesto underwent a community visioning
process.
Improved connections to the Transit Center and downtown open up the potential to redevelop several sites in West Modesto with residential and mixed-use buildings. Mixed-use buildings, particularly at street corners, can provide muchneeded neighborhood-serving retail and amenities. 74 Modesto Housing Plan Final Plan — July 2022

The Transit Center area is one of the most significant of the recommended downtown projects. The vision is for this area to transform into a true mixed-use, transit-focused node offering housing, employment, shopping and entertainment options with convenient access to transit.
10th Street has always been an important corridor in
downtown, and has the potential to develop a stronger
identity as an entertainment or recreational corridor, providing different types of entertainment options at its J Street node, and at the proposed new node at F and D Streets.

Summary Feasibility Assessment
As part of the Housing Plan, the Old Courthouse site was assessed for adaptive use. The Hall of Records building was found viable for reuse, with some required adaptations for use as a residential building. Proforma analysis was carried out for a mixed-use development program, with two adaptive use scenarios for the Hall of Records building. The assumptions and findings are summarized below.
Mixed-Use Development
Program Assumptions:
Retail building
■ 10,560 sq ft ground floor retail with
2,640 sq ft non-leasable space
Residential mixed-use buildings
■ 19,800 sq ft ground floor retail
■ 31,200 sq ft (89 spaces) of ground
floor and underground parking
■ 36 residential units on floors 2-3::
• 7 studios (@ 700 sq ft)
• 12 one-bedroom units (@ 900 sq ft)
• 17 two-bedroom units (@ 1,200 sq ft)
Hall of Records building
Scenario 1: Adaptive use as residential
mixed-use
■ 20,100 sq ft ground floor civic
■ 19 residential units on floors 2-4:
• 2 studios (@ 700 sq ft)
• 8 one-bedroom units (@ 900 sq ft)
• 9 two-bedroom units (@ 1,200 sq ft)
Scenario 2: Adaptive use as office
■ 39,685 sq ft office on floors 1-4
Findings
As is, neither scenario tested was
found to be financially feasible, mainly
due to the high cost of providing
underground parking. Between the
two scenarios, Scenario 2 (Hall of
Records converted to office use) is
more feasible than Scenario 1 (Hall
of Records adapted as a residential
mixed-use building).
Scenario 2 approaches greater
feasibility if the costs for the parking
are removed. Scenario 1 approaches
feasibility if the costs associated with
parking as well as the civic space are
removed.
The current infeasibility of the scenarios
can be addressed through the city's
actions, if the city treats this as a pilot
project to test market conditions, or
attempts a development program
with very low to no parking provided
on-site.

4.3 Infrastructure Capacity
of Opportunity Sites
A preliminary assessment of existing infrastructure capacity was carried out for the Opportunity Sites described in Section 4.2. The findings are described below, and overall capacity summarized in the table on the next page spread.
Water
In general, the Opportunity Sites are
located in areas that are served by
adequate water mains that seem to be
capable of supporting development on
those sites.
Sanitary Sewer
The detailed analysis of the sanitary
sewer systems adjacent to most of
these sites will need to be conducted
to confirm that they can handle the
additional wastewater from new
development. The City will want to
have any pipes smaller than 6-inches
replaced, including alley sewers.
Storm Drain
The storm drain systems adjacent to
the Opportunity Sites appear to be
sized adequately; however, a detailed
analysis of the existing systems will
need to be done to confirm this
assumption. An issue that the City
identified is that many of the existing
catch basins are undersized and
become easily clogged, causing
flooding during heavy storms. It is
recommended that these structures
are upsized when replaced. Plus, as
mentioned in the previous section, all
cross connections where the storm
drain system is connected to the
sanitary sewer system need to be
eliminated. This tends to be an issue
downtown and other older areas
of Modesto. The City does require
stormwater storage and treatment
for new developments. The method
of treatment and storage should
be carefully considered in order to
conserve developable space while
keeping costs reasonable.
While these sites are located in positive
drainage areas, meaning they are
located within the City’s current storm
drain system, the lack of access to
the public storm drain system could
become a hindrance for development
in other areas of Modesto. The SDMP
estimates that 30% of the City is
undeveloped and is currently served
by rockwells. These undeveloped areas
do not have access to the public storm
drain system.
Natural Gas
The Opportunity Sites that have been
identified have sufficient access to
natural gas; however, developers will
be required to confirm this with the
local utility provider. Any upgrades to
the existing system will be the financial
responsibility of the developer.
78 Modesto Housing Plan Final Plan — July 2022
4.3 Infrastructure Capacity of Opportunity Sites Chapter 4 — Opportunity Sites #27..
- 1122 -
Electricity
Developers will be required to consult
with the appropriate electrical provider
to determine if the current system
available to the site is sufficient
to power new development. Any
upgrades to the existing system
or installation of new power lines
will be the financial responsibility
of the developer. Where possible,
electrical lines should be relocated or
installed underground to enhance the
aesthetics of a new project and protect
against heavy winds.
Telephone
The Opportunity Sites that have
been identified have sufficient
access to telephone service; however,
developers will be required to confirm
this with the appropriate service
providers. Upgrades to the existing
system or the relocation of overhead
lines underground can typically
be accommodated and will be the
financial responsibility of the developer.
Cable TV
The Opportunity Sites that have
been identified have sufficient access
to cable television service from at
least one of the providers. Placing
overhead lines underground is typically
recommended for aesthetic purposes
and to protect against heavy winds.
This can usually be accommodated
by the service provider and will be the
financial responsibility of the developer.

5.1 Existing Local + State
Policies
How does the Regulatory System impact housing?
Modesto needs to provide more
housing and more diverse types of
housing to meet the housing needs
of its residents. At the same time,
Modestans want to maintain the
unique community character and
livability of their mid-size Central
Valley city. How can both of these
goals be achieved? Housing policies,
if regulated carefully, can promote
more housing while maintaining the
desired character of a community.
Analyzing local and state regulations is
a critical first step.
State policies regulate housing with
a focus on high-level policies and
laws to meet long-term goals such
as balanced growth and housing
affordability. These policies and laws
allocate housing state-wide across
jurisdictions, taking into consideration
size, population, and changing
demographics. State laws often enable
local jurisdictions to respond with local
as well as supplementary policies to
achieve state housing goals.
Local laws and policies determine the
where and how of housing. These laws
determine the building form (such as
building coverage, height, etc.), the
amount of parking on a property, and
the number of dwelling units allowed
in each building.
Current regulations are not creating
the housing diversity needed to
serve the current and future needs of
Modesto. In order to meet these needs,
it is important to understand which
regulations work for a wider palette of
housing types.
Laws and policies at both the local
and state levels will play a role in
Modesto realizing its housing
vision for the 21st century.

5.1 Existing Local + State Policies Chapter 5 — Regulatory Barriers #27..
- 1128 -
Inclusionary
Housing
The City does not currently have an
inclusionary housing policy. This is a
tool that would require developers to
provide some affordable units when
they build new multifamily housing
in certain locations. Some cities
have used this tool to ensure that
affordable housing will be delivered
at the same time and in the same
locations as additional market rate
housing.
Local Policies to Enhance Housing Production
City of Modesto
Modesto can augment existing laws
and policies to address issues of housing
shortage and affordability.
Density Bonus
The City's Density Bonus
incentives in the City Code of
Ordinances is in accordance with
state law. The Density Bonus
allows a developer to build more
units on a site than typically
allowed, in exchange for the
developer providing a percentage
of those units as affordable.

State Policies Related to Housing
State of California Laws
The State of California is addressing
the housing crisis with a multitude
of laws and policies.
SB 330
(Housing Crisis Act)
Streamlines housing
development process in
urban areas by suspending
restrictions and expediting
permitting. This bill prevents
downzoning, requires right
of first refusal, limits the
permitting process, and
enforces objective standards.
HAA
(Housing Acountability Act)
If an application meets certain
criteria, the city council
or planning commission
must vote to approve the
application and provide
permits within 90-180 days.
The city cannot propose
modifications that would
decrease the number of units.
SB 8
Extends the Housing Crisis Act
of 2019 through 2030. This bill
is meant to increase housing
production by accelerating
the approval process for
housing projects, limiting
local governments' ability to
downzone, limit fee increases
on housing applications,
and creating accountability
provisions.
SB 10
Streamlines zoning process for
new multifamily housing near
transit or in urban infill areas
for up to 10 units per parcel. If
local governments choose to
rezone for increased housing,
these units are not subject to
CEQA for upzoning.
SB 35
Streamlines ministerial
approval for multi-family
projects with an affordable
housing percentage for
jurisdictions that have not met
their RHNA allocation. This
bill requires objective design
standards for qualifying
projects, limits parking near
transit, and limits the timeline
for approval processes.
SB 9
Property owners can split a
single-family lot into two lots,
with a minimum area of 1,200
sq ft each, and put two houses
on each lot ministerially. This
applies for all single-family
residential parcels not within
historic districts or other
protected areas.

State of California Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) All cities in California share the task
of providing housing. The State of
California also sets a requirement for
the number of new housing units each
county (such as Stanislaus County)
needs to provide by a certain date, and
the counties decide how to divide that
number among their cities (such as
Modesto). These numbers are reviewed
and updated every seven years.
Under the 6th Cycle of RHNA (2023-
2031), Modesto is allocated the task
of providing 11,248 new housing
units in by 2031 in order to meet its
proportional share of regional housing
need. Of those units, 4,750 units need
to be affordable to either low-income
or very-low income households, as
defined by the state.

Barriers for Housing in the City of Modesto
Topic State Requirements
Density Bonus Law
(AB 1763, AB 2345)
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65916(j), the granting of a density bonus shall not require, “in and of itself,” a zoning change, discretionary approval, etc.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(d), an applicant for a density bonus shall be granted the requested concession or incentive unless the City makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, that these do not result in identifiable cost reductions to provide affordable housing; would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety; or would be contrary to state or federal law.
Government Code Sections 65915(b) and (c) require density bonus units to be subject to a recorded affordability restriction of 55 years.
Emergency Shelters
(Government Code
65580 et seq.)
As part of the state’s Housing Element Law (Government Code 65580 et seq.), jurisdictions are required to identify a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit.
Low Barrier Navigation
Centers (part of AB
101, 2019) [Government
Code Section 65660-
65662]
Low barrier navigation centers (LBNCs) are required to
be approved by right in areas zoned for mixed use and
nonresidential zones permitting multifamily use.
Employee Housing
Act [Health and Safety
Code Sections 17000 et
seq.]
Any employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees shall be treated as a single-family structure and residential use. Any employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household shall be treated as an agricultural use.
Single-Room
Occupancy (SRO)
Units
Single-room occupancy (SRO) units are small (200-350 square feet) and provide a valuable source of affordable housing and can serve as an entry point into the housing market for people who have previously experienced homelessness.
Compliance with State Law
To enable housing diversity and streamline housing production, it will benefit Modesto to ensure that its Zoning Code is in compliance with state law. The following findings summarize parts that are not in compliance with state law or are inconsistent with HCD guidance.

5.2 Zoning Barriers to
Housing Diversity
Understanding the existing zoning
standards is key to assessing the
viability of the desired housing
types in each context of Modesto.
How do the Context Types of Modesto Influence the Regulatory Analysis?
As previously discussed in Chapter 2,
five context types were identified in
Modesto, each with their own distinct
physical form and character. Each
of these context types can support
a range of housing types that are
complementary to the existing built
character, and can help expand
housing choice. The housing types
recommended for each context type
have also been vetted for financial
feasibility.
Since the goal of the Housing Plan is
to promote greater housing diversity,
the current zoning policies must be
examined to ensure that they can
enable the desired palette of housing
types. Each housing type has a range
of lot sizes, building heights, setbacks,
and parking conditions in which they
can fit.
By comparing the minimum
requirements of these housing
types to what is allowed by current
regulations, the barriers to providing
more housing options becomes
clear. Recommended changes and
refinements to the existing regulations
will enable the desired outcomes for
each context type.

Which regulations can limit the housing types allowed in each zoning district?
Although Modesto's Code of
Ordinances regulates many aspects
of development, there are certain
standards that are critical in enabling
greater housing diversity. These
critical standards within each zoning
district in Modesto were analyzed to
evaluate whether they could support
the envisioned housing types for each
Context Type. The critical standards are:
■ Minimum Lot Area. The minimum
size (in square feet) of a lot to support
the desired range of housing types.
■ Minimum Lot Width. The minimum
width (in feet) required for a parcel in
order to support the desired housing
types, including the building and
parking access.
■ Maximum Density. A measurement
of the number of dwellings within an
area or required by a zone, typically
given in dwelling units per acre.
■ Minimum Front and Side Setbacks.
The minimum distance a building
must be set back from the front or
side property lines of a lot.
■ Maximum Height. The maximum
allowed vertical dimension for a
building, in feet or number of stories.
■ Housing Types. Types of residential
and/or mixed-use buildings allowed
and their regulations.
■ Maximum Lot Coverage. The
maximum percentage of a parcel's
area that can be occupied by the
building footprint.
■ Required Open Space. The
minimum amount of open space,
given in square feet, required per
dwelling unit or land use.
■ Parking Spaces. The minimum
number of parking spaces required
per dwelling unit or square feet of
other use.
■ Minimum Driveway Width. The
minimum width required for a
driveway for parking access.

summarizes the analysis for these
regulatory barriers and the following

5.3 Key Barriers Explained
Residential Zones
There are three residential zones
in Modesto: R-1, R-2, and R-3. R-1 is
primarily intended to generate single
family houses, with the option of
accessory dwelling units (ADUs). R-2
and R-3 are multi-family zones, with
the potential to allow more housing
options.
Zones:
R-1: Low Density Residential
R-2: Medium Density Residential
R-3: Medium-High Density Residential
Commercial Zones
Residential Development Standards
There are four commercial zones
in Modesto: P-O, C-1, C-2, and C-3.
Any residential development within
the commercial zones requires a
conditional use permit and must follow
R-2 or R-3 standards, depending on
which zones' density the proposed
development coincides with.
This strategy prevents context-sensitive

Downtown FBC Zones
There are six form-based zones
in Downtown: CD, TD, UGD, MSD,
END, and TND. These form-based
zones focus on mixed-use and
range in intensity, from centers and
high-intensity neighborhoods to
low-intensity neighborhoods that
are compatible with the traditional

Key Barriers: Density Standards
Density
Residential Zones
Density does not contribute to good
form or building design. The current
density ranges allowed in R-2 and R-3
(10.9 to 14.5 du/ac and 14.5 to 29 du/ac,
respectively) are too low to allow many
housing types including a range of
Missing Middle types.
Downtown FBC Zones
TND is the only downtown zone with
a maximum density regulation. Since
this zone also regulates by building
types, this standard is not needed. In
fact, it may complicate things with the
Duplex as an allowed type in the zone.

Why Density Can Have
Unexpected Built Outcomes
While people commonly assume that
density limits ensure that new projects
will be compatible with the existing
context, this may not actually be the case.
Density is a simple calculation based on
the lot size and number of units on it, and
as shown in this example, buildings A and
B can look very different but have nearly
the same density.
The number of dwelling units may have
no correlation with the size of those
units, their arrangement on the lot, or
the form of the buildings within which
they appear. There is a misconception
that high density means big buildings,
despite the fact that existing house-scale
buildings achieve higher densities.
In order to achieve the benefits of
increased housing choices - including
attainability, support for neighborhood
walkability, and compatibility with
context - a thoughtful approach to
regulating form, scale, and building types
is most important.

Lot Area
Experience shows that lot “width” is a
more effective regulation than lot area.
This is primarily because a project can
comply with the minimum lot area
but still result in a building that could
be too large for its context. In contrast,
regulating by lot width enables
building types to be coordinated with
the context more appropriately.
Lot Width
Residential Zones
Current minimums are too large for
some development. The minimum
lot widths range from 50 feet to 60
feet in the residential zones. This
is problematic, especially in the
Downtown Adjacent context, where
the most common lot width is 50 feet.
Downtown FBC Zones
■ CD, TD, and MSD zones: Minimum lot
width regulations are appropriate.
■ UGD, END, and TND zones: Current
minimum lot widths are too big.
Large ranges in allowed widths are
not calibrated for house-scale versus
block-scale buildings.

Minimum Front Setbacks
Residential Zones
R-2 and R-3 have front setbacks of 15
feet. This standard is too large and
makes no distinction in setbacks to
respond or coordinate with the other
standards made. Consequently, it may
not provide the physical character
intended.
Downtown FBC Zones
■ CD, TD, UGD, MSD, and TND zones:
The front setback standards are
appropriate.
■ END: There are so many frontage
types and front setback ranges
permitted that the resultant
character can be too general.
Minimum Side Setbacks
Residential Zones
R-2 and R-3 have overly restricted side
setbacks for parcels adjacent to R-1.
Considering that R-2 and R-3 have
maximum heights that are moderate
in scale, these side setbacks of 15 to 20
feet are unnecessarily large.
Downtown FBC Zones
All downtown form-based codes
have appropriated regulated side
setbacks to allow context-sensitive
development.
Maximum Lot Coverage
Residential Zones
In the residential districts, R-1 and
R-2 have reasonably proportioned
maximum lot coverage standards,
given the context and desired building
form. However, the maximum lot
coverage in R-3 may be too low for
the existing lot sizes, especially in the
Downtown Adjacent Context, and may
not coincide with the setbacks, if the
setbacks are reduced.
Downtown FBC Zones
The Downtown FBC zones do not
regulate maximum lot coverage.
Maximum Height
Residential Zones
R-1, R-2, and R-3 have appropriately
scaled height limits to enforce housescale development.
Downtown FBC Zones
■ UGD, MSD ,END, and TND zones:
Maximum heights allowed are
appropriate.
■ CD and TD zones: Height ranges
permitted (3 to 15 stories and 2 to 8
stories, respectively) are too broad to
create cohesive results. Additionally,
the upward limits of 15 and 8 stories
are too high considering the existing
lot sizes and minimum parking
regulations. It is unlikely that the
maximum heights could be achieved
given these limitations; however, the
perceived value created by the large
upper height limits can prevent any
development from occuring.
Key Barriers: Building Envelope Standards

Key Barriers: Allowed Housing Types
Housing Types
Residential Zones
While R-2 and R-3 allow multifamily
development, it is unclear if multifamily
housing can be achieved considering the low
density requirements.
Downtown FBC Zones
While the zone standards provide minimum
lot widths and heights permitted for the
building types allowed, the building types do
not provide any numeric standards to achieve
the desired form - additional massing and
composition standards for each building type
may help to better articulate the building form.
■ CD and TD zones: The building types
permitted are not clear.
■ MSD, UGD and END zones: There are too
many building types permitted and the
intended form of each housing type is
unclear. Allowing these many building types
with different characteristics loses the desired
physical character of the zone.
■ TND: There are not enough building types
allowed.

6.1 Establishing a Housing
Policy Framework
Policy plays a critical role in advancing
housing affordability and choice, and
help to underpin many inter-related
decisions regarding development and
infrastructure.
To be effective, housing policy must
include strategies that are rooted in
local concerns and issues, and thereby
lead to actions that offer responsive
solutions to community needs.
Critical steps in developing the
framework include:
1. Identify Modesto's housing priorities
2. Analyze and evaluate strengths and
gaps in current housing policy
3. Recommend strategies to address
gaps, considering inherent trade-offs
(such as balancing rental and for-sale
housing) and customize policies for
local priorities.
4.Identify funding sources and
strategies to supplement federal
grants with local revenues, make
Modesto appealing to investors, and
identify short-term and long-term
implementation strategies.
The first three steps are adressed in
this chapter. Step 4, while critical, is
outside the scope of the Housing Plan
and will be addressed in the Housing
Element update.
The Role of Housing Policy
- Provide direction for other General Plan policies
- Guide and support future decisions regarding grant funding - Promote the development of more affordable housing units - Reduce barriers to access in opportunity areas
- Protect vulnerable populations from potential displacement - Assist in the planning for balanced and orderly growth

Strategy 1. Facilitate new housing
through a data-driven, context-specific
strategy that focuses on infill sites and
repurposing of underutilized land
Suggested actions:
■ Citywide assessment to create a database of sites best suited for new housing [using the findings and methodology used in the Housing Plan] • Assess recommended context types in terms of transportation access, infrastructure, existing uses and available services and amenities to determine areas that are "resource rich" and those that are "under-served". • Assess existing land uses citywide under current zoning to identify areas that are currently underutilized and/or underdeveloped; and consider allowing residential uses where currently disallowed.
• Identify opportunity sites/ workforce housing zones/ housing sustainability districts citywide based on the above criteria and prioritize infrastructure and other upgrades to make these sites "development-ready". Establish Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts as needed.
• Maintain and regularly update an inventory of vacant lots citywide. • Levy fines or other measures to discourage "property hold outs" and encourage redevelopment of vacant, tax-delinquent and/or abandoned properties. • Evaluate strategies such as land banking of vacant properties, foreclosure and disposition of tax-delinquent properties to manage underutilized property. ■ Develop a palette of housing types and development standards for each, calibrated to existing lot sizes and context types in the city • Allow a wider range of housing types including Missing Middle types by-right in residential zones. Calibrate the recommended housing types in the Housing Plan to existing lot conditions and context to ensure feasibility. • Update existing development standards to allow the wider range of housing types while setting controls on building size, orientation and massing. • Analyze and right-size parking standards for Missing Middle and other smallscale multi-family housing types by context and available amenities and transportation options.

Strategy 2. Reduce development costs
through a streamlined entitlement
process and financing assistance
Suggested actions:
■ Streamline permitting, entitlement and environmental review • Create objective design standards for housing and mixed-use building types by context and local priorities, to create more predictability for local developers. • Analyze and right-size impact fee for different housing types, to incentivize construction of small-scale, multi-family homes.
• Evaluate existing processes to streamline entitlement for by-right housing types, and work with local institutions to enable financing for such projects. • Allow and facilitate developers to submit concurrent project applications. • Broaden items for ministerial review to expedite the approval process. ■ Provide assistance to strengthen the local development community • Hold early assistance meetings with developers, and assign a point person to guide, troubleshoot and fast-track plan review from all relevant departments. • Grow and strengthen partnerships with local development corporations and financial Institutions such as credit unions, etc. to leverage funding opportunities for Missing Middle and other small-scale, multi-family housing projects. • Explore creating a City Housing Fund to provide financial assistance* to smallscale developers, first-time home-owners, owner-conversions, etc. funded through public and private investments, short-term rental fees, and linkage fees. • Explore creating programs to assist with appraisal gap financing to spur redevelopment, funded by relevant grants including CDBG and HOME. • Initiate pilot projects through public-private partnerships to demonstrate the viability of mixed-income and affordable housing projects and highlight the accelerated entitlement process to attract developers.
• Provide technical and funding assistance* to encourage local developers to consider innovative housing types in their projects, such as micro-units, co-living models, cottage courts and others.
* Typically, municipalities can
provide financial assistance in
the form of below-market rate
financing, such as low to nointerest loans, loan guarantees, downpayment and security
deposit assistance, etc.

• Provide technical and funding assistance* to support atypical housing solutions such as limited equity collectives, sweat equity, and other unconventional models to broaden housing access.
Limited Equity Cooperative [LEC]
Source: www.localhousingsolutions.org
An LEC is a homeownership model in which
residents purchase a share in a development
(rather than an individual unit) and commit
to resell their share at a price determined
by formula. When the LEC is created, initial
affordability is typically achieved with some
form of government assistance. The price
restrictions built into the resale formula limit
the equity that LEC residents can gain when
they sell their ownership share; and this helps
to maintain long-term affordability, especially
in strengthening housing markets. While
LECs are frequently found in multi-family
buildings in urban areas, this tool can be used
in Townhouses, Single-Family homes, etc.
How can the jurisdiction help?
Financing. Below-market financing in
the form of a low- or no-interest loans, or
construction subsidies.
Property tax abatement. Establish a special
property tax classification for LECs to pay
reduced property taxes.
Adopting right-of-first-refusal laws. Give
tenant groups the opportunity to purchase if
any owners stop participating in the LEC.
Technical assistance. Free or low-cost
technical assistance to qualified non-profits
creating LECs.
Appraisal Gap Financing
Source: www.localhousingsolutions.org
In many housing markets, the combined costs
of purchasing and rehabilitating an older
property may be greater than the resulting
appraised value of the property, making
financing nearly impossible to procure.
This can lead to a cycle of deteriorating
housing stock and disinvestment. Providing
funding to close this "appraisal gap" can spur
redevelopment and rehabilitation of older
housing stock.
How can the jurisdiction help?
Financing. Provide grants or subsidies either
directly or through non-profits to cover the
"appraisal gap".
Regulate affordability. As a condition of gap
financing, the jurisdiction can improve and
maintain housing quality, market-affordable
units, and potentially create dedicated
affordable housing.

Strategy 3. Enable housing
attainability for all, and protect existing
residents from displacement
Suggested actions:
■ Promote affordable and mixed-income housing development through both market-rate and subsidy models
• Make surplus public land or properties available for mixed-income and (subsidized) affordable housing projects.
• Explore land banking and local transfer of development rights to create priority sites for mixed-income and affordable housing projects. Establish a land trust to place seized or otherwise publicly obtained property and make available for deed-restricted sale for affordable or below-market-rate housing. • Update zoning to remove regulatory barriers such as minimum unit sizes, and allowing innovative housing types such as micro-units and co-housing in appropriate locations to create a wider range of units. • Explore market implications of inclusionary housing requirements for specific cases such as large residential and mixed-use projects. • Explore "local density bonus" programs with expedited permitting and assistance to provide a viable alternative to state density bonus programs for developers of affordable and mixed-income projects.
• Provide assistance to affordable housing and mixed-income developers such as backing loans to secure better interest rates.
• Build and maintain a directory of housing developers and make available to interested landowners.
• Encourage financial institutions to offer below-market loans to affordable housing and mixed-income housing projects to fulfill Community Reinvestment Act obligations.
■ Combine short-term and long-term strategies to expand housing access • Consider allowing short-term housing solutions such as tiny home communities on public land or vacant parcels, with time limits.

- 1158 -
• Establish "package incentives" (with term limits if needed) for mixed-income and affordable housing projects such as reduced impact fee, tax exemptions, etc. to encourage more market-rate developers to consider mixed-income projects. ■ Maintain existing and increase affordable housing stock • Maintain and update a database of deed-restricted affordable units citywide and regularly audit such properties to ensure landlord compliance with all terms. • Explore conversion of blighted properties into affordable housing development. • Streamline one-for-one replacement of affordable units and maintain a database of acquisition opportunities for affordable housing developers. • Establish affordability term limits beyond those mandated by state law. • Require right of first refusal for all deed-based affordable housing. • Catalog and promote housing preservation funding opportunities to all residents and landlords in neighborhoods with at-risk housing.
• Promote tenant-based voucher programs to landlords to expand provider lists and options for tenants, using incentives such as payment of security deposits. • Evaluate appropriate amount of funds to dedicate to housing preservation from CBDG, HOME, and other funding sources.
Land Banking and Community Land Trusts (CLTs)
Source: www.localhousingsolutions.org
Land banks are public authorities or nonprofit organizations created to acquire, hold, manage, and sometimes redevelop
property in order to return these properties to
productive use to create affordable housing or
stabilize property values.
Community Land Trusts (CLTs) are nonprofit or quasi-government organizations that create and maintain long-term affordable
homeownership units. A CLT typically buys
land (often subsidized) with or without
buildings in a community. The sites may be
grouped together or scattered, and can have
Single-Family homes, multi-family buildings,
or even individual units within a multi-family
building. Typically residents are homeowners,
but a CLT could also lease their land for
affordable rental housing, depending on the
project and community needs. To maintain
affordable units in perpetuity, the CLT
typically owns the land through a long-term
lease. Resale and deed restrictions ensure
affordability.

6.2 Prohousing Designation
Background
The Prohousing Designation program
was established by the 2019-2020
Budget Act (AB 101), which tasked
HCD with developing emergency
regulations to address the state’s
housing crisis.
The resulting program was codified
in Government Code Section 65589.9,
with the explicit intent of providing
incentives to jurisdictions in the form of
additional points or other preferential
scoring for competitive housing,
community development, and
infrastructure programs.
It is contingent on the adoption of
a compliant General Plan Housing
Element, that exceeds the minimum
requirements outlined by the Housing
and Community Development
department (HCD) of the State of
California.
Evaluation criteria and scoring
The evaluation process includes the
following steps:
1. Submit a minimum of two enacted
Prohousing policies for HCD's review.
2. Certify that each prohousing policy
will be enacted within two years.
3. Demonstrate that prohousing
policies will accelerate housing
production.
The scoring includes several category
areas such as zoning and land use,
production timeframes, contruction
and development costs; and financial
subsidies.
• A minimum score of 30 points is
needed to qualify.
• Additional points (enhanced scoring)
can be gained by following specific
policies and programs.
The State of California's "Prohousing
Designation" program allows a
jurisdiction to be competitive in
applying for grant funding for housing,
community development and
infrastructure programs.

Prohousing policy examples
Below are examples of specific actions
that Government Code Section
65589.9(f) defines as “prohousing”
■ Local financial incentives for housing,
including (but not limited to)
establishing a local Housing Trust
Fund.
■ Reduced parking requirements for
sites that are zoned for residential
development.
■ Adopting zoning that allows "byright" residential and mixed-use development.
■ Zoning more sites for residential
development, or zoning sites at
higher densities than required to
accommodate the minimum existing
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA) for the current housing
element cycle.
■ Reduction of permit processing time.
■ Adoption of accessory dwelling unit
ordinances or other mechanisms
that reduce barriers for property
owners to create accessory dwelling
units beyond the requirements
outlined in Section 65852.2.
■ Creation of objective development
standards.
■ Reduction of development impact
fees.
■ Establishment of a Workforce
Housing Opportunity Zone, as
defined in Section 65620, or a
Housing Sustainability District, as
defined in Section 66200.
■ Preservation of affordable housing
units through the extension of
existing project-based rental
assistance covenants to avoid the
displacement of affected tenants and
a reduction in available affordable
housing units.

Implementing Legislation
The Prohousing Designation Program is implemented as part of HCD by Code of Regulations Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 6, Subchapter 6.6.
The key points of each subsection are
described below.
Definitions of key terms
Below is a partial list of definitions
from Section 6601 which illustrate
the particular characteristics of the
Prohousing Designation Program.
■ Acceleration of Housing
Production
Promoting housing production by
streamlining approval processes or
timelines, reducing costs or financial
barriers, or removing or mitigating
regulatory barriers to development.
Relevant activities include, but are
not limited to, incentive zoning
and modification to development
standards (i.e., allowing developers
to build higher-density projects than
would be permitted under existing
zoning in exchange for providing
features that are considered to be in
the community's interest); increasing
building heights and densities;
zoning amendments to permit
residential uses in non-residential
zones; corridor planning; modifications
to development standards; nondiscretionary review; supportive financing strategies; sliding scale fee
modifications; facilitating adequate
infrastructure to support development;
and approval streamlining.
■ Ministerial
A process for development approval
involving no personal judgment by
the public official as to the wisdom or
manner of carrying out the project.
The public official merely ensures that
the proposed development meets
all the “objective zoning standards,”
“objective subdivision standards,” or
“objective design review standards” in
effect at the time that the application
is submitted to the local government,
but uses no special discretion or
judgment in reaching a decision. A
ministerial decision involves only the
use of fixed standards or objective
measurements, and the public official
cannot use personal, subjective
judgment in deciding whether or how
the project should be carried out.
■ Objective Zoning/ Subdivision/
Design Review Standard
Standards that involve no personal or
subjective judgment by a public official
and that are uniformly verifiable by
reference to an external and uniform
benchmark or criterion available and
knowable by both the development
applicant or proponent and the public
official prior to submittal.
■ Principles of Prohousing
The policies, concepts, and standards
that direct HCD's review and
consideration of a jurisdiction for a
120 Housing Plan Final Plan — July 2022
6.2 Prohousing Designation Chapter 6 — Housing Policy
#27..
- 1164 -
Prohousing Designation include the
following:
• The jurisdiction's actions to
facilitate the planning, approval, or
construction of a variety of housing
types (e.g., increasing zoned capacity
for supply, facilitating affordability
for all income levels, removing
regulatory barriers to development,
and streamlining approval). Such
action should be balanced by the
jurisdiction's equal efforts to prevent
displacement, preserve existing
affordable housing, and establish
tenant protections.
• The jurisdiction's accomplishment
of integrated planning and
development consistent with the
state planning priorities set forth at
Government Code section 65041.1
and/or the regional transportation
plan adopted by the relevant
transportation agency pursuant to
Government Code sections 65080
and 65080.01. The Jurisdiction may
accomplish this outcome through
various actions, including, but not
limited to, the facilitation of Location
Efficient Communities that reduce
auto dependence and VMT, and that
are consistent with climate change
priorities (e.g., climate change
adaptation and hazard mitigation).
• The Jurisdiction's meaningful actions
to foster inclusive and equitable
communities with adequate,
affordable, and accessible housing
and transportation infrastructure
pursuant to Government Code
section 8899.50.
• The Jurisdiction's collaboration with
public entities to align policies and
programs, and with private entities to
implement policies and to leverage
funding and other resources.
• The Jurisdiction's compliance with
established housing law and recent
housing reform statutes (e.g., the
Housing Accountability Act, the
Streamlined Ministerial Approval
Process (California Senate Bill 35
(2017)), and the Housing Crisis Act of
2019 (Stats. 2019, ch. 654).
Submittal and Application

Element at the time of application or
prior to designation.
■ Submission of a legally sufficient
Annual Progress report at the time of
application or prior to designation.
■ Completion of any rezone program
or zoning that is necessary to remain
in compliance with Government
Code Section 65583(c)(1) (i.e., actions
to accommodate RHNA and a variety
of housing types).
■ Compliance with applicable state
housing law, including but not
limited to:
a. Housing Element Law (Article 10.6)
b. “No Net Loss” Law (Section 65863)
c. Housing Accountability Act (Section
65589.5)
d. State Density Bonus Law (Section
65915 et seq.
e. Laws relating to the imposition of
school facilities fees or other requires
(Section 65995 et seq.)
f. Least Cost Zoning Law (Section
65913.1)
g. Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330)
h. Antidiscrimination law (Section
65008).
■ A valid Formal Resolution for the
Prohousing Designation program,
adopted by the applicant’s governing
body.
A jurisdiction’s application for
Prohousing Designation may be
rejected or revoked for the following
reasons:
a. Enacting laws, developing policies,
or taking other actions that are
reasonably likely to inhibit or constrain
housing production, or that can be
objectively show to have inhibited or
constrained housing duction (e.g., local
voter approval requirements related
to housing production, downzoning,
unduly restrictive zoning regulations/
standards).
b. Violating state housing laws listed
above.
Designation Criteria
Requirements (Section 6605)
The applicant must show that it has
enacted or proposed Prohousing
Policies by providing a concise, written
description and by identifying or
submitting documentary evidence.
Proposed Prohousing Policies shall
satisfy the following criteria:
1. Present at least two enacted
Prohousing Policies for HCD review.
2. Certify that each proposed
Prohousing Policy will be enacted
within two years of the date of
application.
3. Demonstrate that the proposed
Prohousing Policies will contribute
to the “acceleration of housing
production” throughout their
jurisdiction or within a smaller
geographic unit.

#27..
- 1166 -
Project-specific planning documents
or approvals do not qualify as
Prohousing Policies unless they result
in benefits to the entire jurisdiction
or benefits that extend beyond the
project. However, HCD may consider
Prohousing Policies that are integrated
with other planning priorities, so
long as they result in a net benefit or
gain for the acceleration of housing
production. This includes policies that
are or will be carried out in partnership
with other entities pursuant to legally
binding agreements, subject to the
same criteria.
Application Scoring (Section
6606)
In order to qualify for Prohousing
Designation, jurisdictions must
achieve a minimum of 30 points on
the application, with a minimum of
one point in each of the four scoring
categories:
1. Favorable Zoning and Land Use
2. Accelerating Production Timeframes
3. Reducing Construction and
Development Costs
4.Providing Financial Subsidies
Each item is awarded between one
to three points. For a complete list
of policies and their point values, see
Section 6606(b). Examples include:
Favorable Zoning and Land Use
■ Three points: Rezoning sufficient
sites to accommodate 150% or more
of regional housing needs by total
or income category; accelerating
production timeframes
■ Two points: Documented practice of
streamlining housing development;
reducing construction and
development costs
■ One point: Pre-approved or
prototype plans for Missing Middle
Housing types; providing financial
subsidies
■ Two points: Establishment of a local
housing trust fund.
Additionally, jurisdictions have the
opportunity to gain additional points
through “enhanced scoring.” For a
complete list of enhancement factors,
see Section 6606(c). Examples include:
1. Rezoning and other policies that
result in a net gain of housing
capacity while concurrently
mitigating development impacts on
or from Environmentally Sensitive or
Hazardous Areas.
2. Policies that target community and
economic development investments
to Low Resource and High Segregation
and Poverty areas designated in the
most recently updated TCAC/HCD
Opportunity Maps and disadvantaged
communities pursuant to SB 535 (2012).
3. Policies that use a multi-faceted
strategy to promote multiple planning
objectives (e.g., efficient land use,
access to public transportation,
affordable housing, climate change
solutions, and/or hazard mitigation).
Applicants may use only one
enhancement factor per Prohousing
Policy, but may reuse an enhancement
factor for multiple Prohousing Policies.

How can Modesto get there?
The Housing Plan has actively
considered the criteria discussed
above in its recommendations to
support Modesto in achieving the
30-point threshold described above.
The recommendations integrate land
use changes, housing policy and
zoning and entitlement. The vision
put forward by the Housing Plan and
preliminary community feedback
indicate that the implementation of
prohousing policies is achievable.
The Housing Plan recommendations
will guide updates to the General Plan
and Housing Element, implementation
tools to providing a pathwork to
achieving a Prohousing designation.
The table below organizes the
individual point categories of the
Prohousing Application into general
topics.
On the facing page, the "Favorable
Zoning and Land Use" category is
analyzed to demonstrate how the City
could approach earning these points
given ongoing policy considerations.
Implementing all of the below policies
would earn Modesto 12 points of the 30
points necessary to earn a Prohousing
Designation.

7.1 Commercial Zones in the
Mixed-Use Corridor Context
Approach
Since Modesto's Housing Plan aims to
increase the range of housing choices
in key areas of the city, considering
the commercial zones is critical.
Modesto has four commercial zones:
C-1, C-2, C-3, and P-O. These zones exist
primarily within the Mixed-Use Corridor
context type and feature many retail
businesses and other commercial
amenities, but also vacant lots and
underutilized parking lots.
Although these zones allow residential
as a conditional use, the zone
standards are not fully supportive of
housing. All four commercial zones rely
on the R-2 and R-3 regulations for all
residential buildings, which results in
developments that are not compatible
with the existing uses in the
corridor in terms of allowed heights,
setback requirements, and building
massing. Mixed-use development is
inherently different from residential or
commercial development, and zone
standards for these prime locations
need to be updated to reflect this.
Consolidating Zones
The four commercial zones have
many similar regulations. The size of
the setbacks and maximum heights
are nearly the same in three of them,
with the only difference being the
allowed uses. By consolidating zones
and regulating the form and use
with greater intention, the Mixed-Use
Corridors can enable a mix of housing
choices.
Senate Bill 330
Among other things, SB 330 prevents downzoning in local jurisdictions. This means that reducing allowed heights or densities in zoning could be against state law. However, SB 330 is not a concern for the recommendations to the commercial zones for several reasons:
- SB 330 only applies to zones in which residential is an allowable use.
Residential is permitted only as a conditional use in all commercial zones. - Residential in the commercial zones follow R2 and R3 regulations and thus can only be 2 or 3 stories in height.
With reference to the General Plan Land Uses, most parcels in the C-2 zone are Commercial Land Use (no residential). Some parcels are Mixed-Use, regulated by an average density of 14 du/ac; which is likely be exceeded, not reduced by the proposed changes to these areas.

The graphic below illustrates how the recommended Mixed-Use Corridor zone standards could work together to create built outcomes that are more compatible with existing context and lot characteristics.
Existing Conditions
Potential buildout of an example Opportunity Site
on McHenry Avenue
Variety of residential building types promote housing
diversity and affordability. Taller, mixed-use buildings typically front major streets, with smaller-scale homes in the block interior.
Commercial-Flex Live/Work spaces primarily along the
corridor to incubate small business and provide more viable sizes of commercial spaces.
Small-to-medium building setbacks allow for optimal use of the available site area to create an active, safe, pedestrianfriendly environment with small-scale neighborhood retail.
Regulated heights provide for more predictable and
desirable built outcomes, with a gradual transition from the higher-intensity environment along the corridors, to the single-family neighborhoods in the interior.
Large site standards require new development for large
infill sites such as this to include streets and community open space; thus ensuring that these sites will develop not as isolated pockets of housing within commercial areas but as well-connected, walkable, desirable neighborhoods.

Based on the given context, it is recommended to regulate Lot Size Requirements by considering: 1) Width and Depth, 2) Multiple Design Sites, and 3) Large Site Standards.
Lot Width and Depth
Regulating by lot area cannot
accurately account for the building
footprint and driveway dimensions
of the different housing types
intended for an area. Therefore, it
is recommended to regulate by lot
size categories instead, that consider
lot width and lot depth. This will
coordinate the variety of possible
building types in each zone to
enable development that is scaled
appropriately for the given context. It is
important, however, that the minimum
lot size categories for different areas
consider existing conditions in order
to not exclude parcels from being
developable. Current residential
development lot width minimums
prevent some of the most common lot
sizes from being built upon, decreasing
their potential for housing.
■ It is recommended to set minimum
and maximum lot dimensions in
compliance with building types
and zone standards. Consider how
building placement is affected
by setbacks and by the massing
limitations regulated by building
types. The maximum lot size
dimensions should allow for the
selected building type to provide
the maximum number of units
permitted in it along with parking
standards.
■ By considering lot size categories
when making regulations, the
standards can create greater
predictability in the built form
patterns that result. This approach
should also consider that each lot
can have only one building.

Large Sites and Multiple Design Sites
■ If a lot is larger than the typical range of lot sizes for allowed building types, consider subdividing the lot into multiple design sites. Using this approach provides the opportunity for better utilization of the available lot area, and more primary buildings to be built. To create incentives for property owners to subdivide large lots into more usable smaller lots, standards for multiple design sites can be calibrated with the underlying zone and building standards, thus not requiring the subdivided lots to be recorded as new lots. Shared access may be allowed when this approach is used.
Large Site Standards
■ For lots larger than 3 acres and longer than 750 linear feet along a street, standards should require the creation of new streets and blocks to fit better into the existing context. This will avoid "superblock developments" that are typically inward-facing and do not support walkability, livability and safety.

Front Setbacks ( )
Existing front setbacks can be reduced
slightly in order to create a more
pedestrian-friendly environment along
the corridor. Recommended ranges for
front setbacks: 5 to 10 feet.
Side Setbacks
Current side setbacks for residential
development increase with each
story of a building when adjacent
to residential. This strategy does not
create the building form desired for
the Mixed-Use Corridor zones, nor an
efficient use of the building envelope.
Similarly, the existing commercial side
setbacks are too deep to create the
desired experience along the corridor.
Instead, regulating building massing
by building type will create contextsensitive developments which add to a pleasant pedestrian experience.
Height ( )
Maximum heights within the MixedUse Corridor zones should consider setbacks as well as adjacencies. By
using building types with small to
moderate maximum heights near
residential developments, and larger
buildings with more intense uses
near key commercial nodes, a more
intentional built environment can be
created that serves the needs of its
residents.

Density
A common misconception is that
lower densities mean smaller buildings
and that higher densities mean
larger buildings. However, density
is a numerical approach based on
the lot size, that does not regulate
the size of buildings or how they
relate to their surrounding contexts.
A moderate-density building may
still dwarf a house next to it, just as a
high-density building may blend into
the surrounding neighborhood as a
house-scale building. The Mixed-Use
Corridor zones should not use density
as a standard, since this measurement
cannot create predictable outcomes.
Instead, a combination of housing
types and building massing
regulations can create more desirable
results.
Housing Types
Regulating by housing types creates
more predictability in form and scale,
and context-sensitive development.
The Mixed-Use Corridor zones can
allow a range of different housing
types that respond to existing contexts.
For example, Mixed-Use Corridor Zone
A, a more intense zone, could permit
Lined Buildings, Main Street Buildings,
Large Multiplexes, and Courtyard
Buildings. Mixed-Use Corridor Zone
B, a less intense zone, could permit
smaller-scale buildings such as Small
Multiplexes, Courtyard Buildings, and
Townhouses.

Parking Space Requirements
Minimum requirements for parking
space(s) per dwelling unit can play
a large role in limiting development
and feasibility if the standards are not
properly calibrated for the context.
Current standards for parking in the
commercial zones is high, requiring
larger lots for development. The cost
of providing the required parking is
a disincentive for many developers,
and limits the redevelopment of many
parcels.
■ Consider reducing parking
requirements to 1 space per dwelling
unit and 1 space per 600 sq ft of
commercial use.
Parking Location
■ Although parking location does
not directly impact the production
of housing, regulating the location
of parking is critical to creating the
desired built environment along
the corridors. It is recommended to
require parking to be in the rear of
the lot or at least behind a habitable
ground floor whenever feasible, to
encourage buildings closer to the
sidewalk, which creates a more
active, pedestrian-friendly, and safer
environment.
Driveway Width
■ Current minimum widths for oneway driveways are too high, limiting development on narrower lots
without alleys. By decreasing the
minimum driveway widths to 8 feet
with 1 foot planting strips on either
side (total 10 feet), the Mixed-Use
Corridor zones would allow for more
small-scale development.

Context
Approach
The Downtown Core is a context
with great capacity for thoughtful
increase in housing, given the walkable
environment and access to amenities,
further enhanced by the planned
extension of the ACE Commuter Rail
to Downtown Modesto, opening up
opportunities for transit-oriented
mixed-use development.
The Downtown Core is currently
regulated by two Downtown FormBased Code zones which include many important regulations to promote
higher-intensity development in a
walkable setting. However, a few
of the regulations can be edited to
produce more cohesive, predictable
development that is aligned with
market realities and current trends in
the construction industry and housing
market.

Existing residential development in the Downtown Core must adhere to either CD or TD zone regulations. Although these are Form-Based Code zones, there are several standards which can be adjusted to enable more cohesive, intentional development.
Large ranges
in heights result
in freezing
development due
to the perceived
possibility for
more intensity
and development
potential, even on
smaller parcels,

7.3 Form-Based Code zones
in the Downtown Transition
Context
Approach
The Downtown Transition is a context
with a great capacity for a thoughtful
increase in housing, given the access
to amenities and walkable context.
The Downtown Transition currently
includes four Downtown FormBased Code zones which can be edited to produce cohesive, walkable
neighborhood development.
At a high level, the four zones within
the Downtown Transition are very
similar and too broad in their approach.
The wide range of housing types
permitted in several of the zones
leads to incohesive built results; while
the limited number of housing types
permitted in others prevents muchneeded housing from being built.
By identifying key nodes and
contexts within the zoned areas and
editing the existing zoning, Modesto
can encourage the production of
certain housing types to further the
affordability and livability goals of the
Housing Plan.

Lot Width
The zones within the Downtown
Transition currently regulate by lot
width, which allows for buildings better
calibrated to the existing context
than when regulated by lot area.
However, a few of the minimum lot
widths should be changed to permit
additional housing types to be built on
appropriately sized parcels.
In the END and TND zones, the DuTri- Quadplex should be altered to allow a minimum lot width of 40 feet.
The Front Yard House in the TND zone
should be permitted on a minimum lot
width of 25 feet.
In the chart below, the grey rectangles
represent the typical lot width ranges
of housing types. The vertical bars
superimposed on the rectangles
depict the range of lot widths
permitted for each housing type in
each of the four zones within the
Downtown Transition context. This
diagram helps illustrate how some of
the lot width regulations do not align
with real housing type dimensions,
thereby limiting development of these
types. This diagram also highlights the
range of housing types permitted in
each zone (UGD and END both allow all
nine housing types while TND allows
only two).

Density
Fortunately, most of the zones within
the Downtown Transition do not use
density as a regulation. However, the
TND zone does, further complicating
its use. TND should remove this
regulation and rely on the Housing
Types standards instead.
Housing Types
Regulating by housing types creates
more predictability and contextsensitive development. However, allowing too many housing types
can lead to unpredictability and an
an incohesive built environment. The
UGD, MSD, and END zones permit
too many housing types and should
instead be more intentional in the
range of housing types permitted.
In comparison, the TND zone permits
very few housing types, which limits
the number of housing types that
could capitalize on the existing
amenitities and walkable context.
Currently, the housing types described
in each zone only include design
guidelines. Instead, using design
standards is recommended that are
more objective and lead to more
certain buit outcomes.

7.4 Residential Zones in the

Approach
The Downtown Adjacent context
currently has predominantly SingleFamily housing. However, the block structure and proximity to the
Downtown Transition makes it a
walkable, desirable setting for focused
intensity while maintaining the
residential character of this context.
One possible strategy for the
Downtown Adjacent includes a gentle
increase in intensity with house-scale
multifamily housing types such as
duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

Most residential development within the Suburban Residential Context must adhere to R-1, R-2, or R-3 zoning standards. However, several aspects of these standards are not adequately calibrated for the existing context and needs.
This minimum
lot width does not
consider existing
lot sizes, reducing
the number of lots
where development
can happen.
The size and
scale of buildings
cannot effectively
be regulated by
density.
The larger
setbacks in this
range do not relate
to the height or the
desired built form.
Regulating by
housing types
can create greater
predictability in the
built results of a
zone.

Barriers for Housing in the City of Modesto
Topic State Requirements
Density Bonus Law
(AB 1763, AB 2345)
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65916(j), the granting of a density bonus shall not require, “in and of itself,” a zoning change, discretionary approval, etc.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65915(d), an applicant for a density bonus shall be granted the requested concession or incentive unless the City makes a written finding, based on substantial evidence, that these do not result in identifiable cost reductions to provide affordable housing; would have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety; or would be contrary to state or federal law.
Government Code Sections 65915(b) and (c) require density bonus units to be subject to a recorded affordability restriction of 55 years.
Emergency Shelters
(Government Code
65580 et seq.)
As part of the state’s Housing Element Law (Government Code 65580 et seq.), jurisdictions are required to identify a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use or other discretionary permit.
Low Barrier Navigation
Centers (part of AB
101, 2019) [Government
Code Section 65660-
65662]
Low barrier navigation centers (LBNCs) are required to
be approved by right in areas zoned for mixed use and
nonresidential zones permitting multifamily use.
Employee Housing
Act [Health and Safety
Code Sections 17000 et
seq.]
Any employee housing providing accommodations for six or fewer employees shall be treated as a single-family structure and residential use. Any employee housing consisting of no more than 36 beds or 12 units or spaces designed for use by a single family or household shall be treated as an agricultural use.
Single-Room
Occupancy (SRO)
Units
Single-room occupancy (SRO) units are small (200-350 square feet) and provide a valuable source of affordable housing and can serve as an entry point into the housing market for people who have previously experienced homelessness.
To enable housing diversity and streamline housing production, it will benefit Modesto to ensure that its Zoning Code is in compliance with state law. The following findings summarize parts that are not in compliance with state law or are
inconsistent with HCD guidance.

Barriers for Housing in the City of Modesto (continued) Findings
Section 10-8.102 (Statement of Authorization) requires senior housing projects granted a density bonus to be rezoned to Planned Development (P-D) zone.
Section 10-8.202 (Economic Feasibility) requires developers to show additional incentives are necessary to make a project economically feasible.
Section 10-8.301 (Term of Affordability) requires density bonus units to maintain their affordability level for a period of 30 years.
The Zoning Code currently permits one emergency shelter in the C-M, M-1, or M-2 zones (see Section 10-3.205 (Emergency Shelters)). Any additional emergency shelters shall be subject to the conditional use permit requirements in Section 10-3.101 (Land Use Table).
The Zoning Code does not contain existing provisions related to LBNCs.
The Zoning Code does not contain existing provisions related to employee housing.
The Zoning Code does not contain existing provisions related to SRO units.

7.7 Entitlement Process
Recommendations
Examining relevant legislation governing building permit approvals and timelines and reviewing the average processing times for common items in the City of Modesto helps highlight best practices for permit processing.
Relevant Legislation
Permit Streamlining Act
A lead agency has 30 days after an
application is submitted to notify the
applicant that it is complete, after
which the lead agency must conduct
its initial environmental study to decide
if an Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) or Negative Declaration (ND)
is necessary. Negative Declarations
must be adopted 180 days after the
application is accepted as complete. 60
days after the adoption of a Negative
Declaration the lead agency must
approve, disapprove, or conditionally
approve the development. This may
be extended to 90 days with the
applicant’s consent.
An EIR must be certified within one
year from the date the application is
accepted as complete. Development
projects must be approved, denied, or
conditionally approved within 180 days
from the date of EIR certification. Most
projects are covered under the City’s
General Plan Program EIR and don’t
require an ND or EIR, which greatly
streamlines the process.
Housing Accountability Act/Housing
Crisis Act (SB 330)
This legislation amends the Permit
Streamlining Act to boost housing
production. It allows projects to submit
a “preliminary application,” a checklist
which, when deemed submitted,
locks in development requirements,
standards, and fees. For projects with
150 or fewer units, the lead agency
has 30 days for an initial compliance
review after an application is deemed
complete, and 60 days for larger
projects. The law grants a period of 90
days to approve or disapprove a project
from the time an EIR is certified.
For affordable housing projects, if
an EIR is required, the law requires
a final decision within 60 days of
EIR certification. No more than five
hearings or meetings may be held
before a decision is made.
Senate Bill 35
SB 35 pertains to California cities
and counties where the production
of new housing has not met the
state-mandated Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA) targets.
Those jurisdictions must use a
streamlined, ministerial review process
for qualifying multifamily residential
projects. This includes an initial
eligibility review within 60 days for
projects with 150 or fewer units and
90 days for larger projects. If eligible, a
review must be completed within 90
days after an application is submitted
for developments with less than 150
units and 180 days for larger projects.
Qualifying projects are exempt from
environmental review under CEQA.

Best Practice Recommendations
Simplification
• Reduce application requirements
• Have pre-application consultations
to uncover problems early when they
are inexpensive to correct
Consolidation
• Create a central permit desk and
consolidate all permit and approval
applications in one form
• Break information silos by
consolidating departments/divisions
with overlapping functions
• Cross-train staff for reduced
specialization
• Where possible, allow for a
concurrent rather than sequential
review
Clarification
• Help applicants get an overview of
the process; list all necessary permits
and approvals needed, direct
applicants to existing checklists,
provide meeting schedules for
relevant boards, committees, and
commissions, contact information,
and FAQ
• Expand and improve public facing
application instructions and guides
• Reach out and engage landowners
to educate them about the process
• Help applicants understand the
specific roles of staff, land use boards,
and elected officials as well as each
body’s jurisdiction
Utilize Technology
• Make sure all application materials
and resources are available online
• Use online permitting and
computerized tracking to streamline
the process
• By taking advantage of data
collection municipalities can
better understand staff workload,
bottlenecks, and development
trends
• Establish mechanisms to allow
applicants and the public to view
daily inspection calendars and
receive automatic notifications
Record Maintenance
• Keep a well-organized, efficient,
and clear record-keeping system
with specifications about how long
information will be retained and
in what format will help ensure a
smooth process
Develop a Fast-Track Process
• Develop a fast-track process for
applicable projects
Training
• Help board members understand
their function in the overall process
and educate members on the rules
for approvals and processes
Processing Times
Item: Approximate Processing Time:
Variance 3 months
Tentative Subdivision Map 3 months
Tentative Parcel Map 3 months
2nd Story Review 15 days from approval that confirms compliance with Neighborhood Compatibility Guidelines
Conditional Use Permit 3 months

The Impact of Zoning
Modesto's zoning regulations define
the "what" and "where" of real
estate development. By regulating
things like parking, allowed uses, and
building heights, zoning defines what
can be built. By mapping different
zone districts across the city, zoning
also decides where certain types
of development are allowed. Could
proposed changes to Modesto's
zoning regulations enable new types
of housing in more places throughout
the City?
Residual Land Value (RLV)
To understand how much housing
proposed changes could unlock,
we used an economic model called
a residual land value analysis, or
RLV. RLV helps us understand the
maximum land price a developer can
afford based on fixed assumptions
about construction costs, fees, taxes,
and profit. If we know the maximum
price a developer is willing to pay
for land, we can estimate what kind
of housing can be built in different
locations across the city.

Scenarios help us understand city-wide
impacts of proposed policy changes.
Measuring Impacts With Policy Scenarios
Policy Scenario 1
Policy Scenario 2 Policy Scenario 3
■ Allow additional height and housing types
in the Downtown Transition Context.
■ Permit mixed use and residential
development along major arterials.
■ Allow more housing types in Downtown
Adjacent context area.
"Neighborhood and Corridor
Focus"
■ Allow additional height in the Downtown
Transition context area.
■ Reduce parking requirements in Downtown
Core, Downtown Transition, and Mixed Use
Corridor context areas.
"Enable Downtown Density"
■ Allow a greater variety of housing types in
all context areas.
■ Reduce parking requirements for Missing
Middle Housing types.
"Gentle Density"
Scenarios are packages of complimentary zoning
regulation or map changes that represent a distinct
policy direction. By running scenarios through a RLV
analysis, we can better understand if a new zone
change or incentive is likely to provide more
opportunities for housing.
A range of potential zone and map changes were
tested, grouped into three "policy scenarios". The
results of these scenarios led to the development of six "key housing production strategies" that were shown
by the RLV analysis to have significant impacts on
Modesto's housing capacity.

Let the Downtown Core Reach its Full
Potential
Tall buildings are already allowed in Modesto’s
Downtown Core, but they aren't financially
feasible. Changing certain downtown zoning
requirements, such as parking, could enable
downtown Modesto to become what it was
always envisioned to be: the heart of the city,
where people work, play, and live in walkable
areas with great access to desirable urban
amenities.
Expand Housing Options In Newer
Neighborhoods
Providing more flexible options for property
owners and housing developers in Modesto’s
newer neighborhoods creates additional
opportunities for infill development that is less
expensive to build, buy, and rent. It also provides
choices for multigenerational living, downsizing,
and aging in place that appeal to many of
Modesto’s growing demographics and their
consumer preferences.
Make Housing Cheaper to Build
The price of housing is a direct reflection of land
and development costs. Making housing cheaper
to build by reducing up-front development costs
passes on the benefits directly to the consumer in
the form of reduced rent and sales prices.
Expand Housing Options In Established
Neighborhoods
Providing more flexibility for property owners
and housing developers in Modesto’s established
downtown-adjacent neighborhoods has
the power to create more housing choices
benefitting homeowners and renters seeking
to live in these areas that are well served by
amenities and services.
Transform Major Commercial Corridors
Into Neighborhoods
Allowing housing along Modesto’s commercial
corridors creates new possibilities for developing
mixed-use neighborhoods throughout the city
and transforming Modesto’s major streets. This
transformation will unlock new and exciting
opportunities to locate housing, jobs, shopping,
and entertainment close to each other and to
revitalize vacant and underused commercial areas
in the process.
Bring New Energy to Downtown
Strategically allowing new housing development
opportunities in transition areas between
Modesto’s Downtown Core and established
residential neighborhoods will add more options
for living close to downtown and meeting demand
from young professionals, families, and empty
nesters in search of an urban neighborhood
experience where they can be less dependent on
driving.

DESCRIPTION:
Consider authorizing the services of Steve Mitchell on a part-time basis for a limited duration of up to six (6) months for the purposes of providing work on special Planning projects to ensure high priority projects continue to completion. (Funding: General Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan’s Service and Delivery Goals & Strategies - Building a High-Performing Organization by Attracting and Retaining High Performance Employees.
BACKGROUND:
The California Public Retirement System (CalPERS) recognizes that retirees can play an important role in maintaining city operations, particularly in short-term or emergency situations; however, they also specify limitations on a retiree’s service when returning to work for a CalPERS agency. Government Code §7522.561 & 21221 (h)2 provides specific guidance on employing a CalPERS retiree without interruption to retirement benefits or reinstatement from retirement. Key terms of hiring a retired annuitant under the Government Code and by which the City will be following are:
The retiree must wait 180 days after his or her retirement date before he or she can return to work for a CalPERS employer, unless there is a qualifying exception.
The appointment of a retired annuitant must be for a limited duration for a vacant position.
