1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Confirmation: City Clerk confirms: a) Proof of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing; b) Signed Waiver and Consent; c) Completed and Signed Ballot and d) Signed Certificate of Clerk Regarding Receipt of Property Owner Waiver and Consent Form and Ballot Declaring Election Results
Resolution: In the matter of calling a special mailed-ballot election and declaring the results of the mailed ballot election respecting proposed Annexation Number 37 for properties located at 905 Flower Street, Stanislaus County APN 061-004-006 and 300 N. Soderquist Road, Stanislaus County APN 061-003-040 to existing Community Facilities District Number 2 (Services Mitigation).
Resolution: In the matter of declaring the results of mailed ballot election respecting proposed Annexation Number 37 for properties located at 905 Flower Street, Stanislaus County APN 061-004-006 and 300 N. Soderquist Road, Stanislaus County APN 061-003- 040 to existing Community Facilities District Number 2 (Services Mitigation) and ordering annexation of the subject properties.
2. DISCUSSION OF ISSUE:
A Fiscal Impact Study of new residential development on General Fund supported services (Police, Fire, Park maintenance, Planning, etc.) conducted in 2004, concluded that current General Fund revenues are inadequate to support both existing as well as the planned, General Plan levels of services. In response, the City Council adopted a policy (Resolution No. 2004-189) to require all new residential development not otherwise entitled by existing zoning to be included in a Community Facilities or Mello-Roos District as a condition of development. At its meeting on October 26, 2004, the City Council formed Turlock Community Facilities District No. 2 (CFD No. 2), to generate additional General Fund revenues from an additional tax imposed on new residential units.
In 2017, an evaluation of CFD #2 was completed and it was concluded the existing tax level of CFD #2 was still adequate to mitigate the service costs created by new residential development.
The existing CFD #2 was phased in over ten (10) years. The current (FY 2025/2026) rate for multi-family dwellings subject to CFD #2 is $595 per year and will increase 2% annually. A higher rate ($760 for year 2025/2026) is charged on single-family dwelling units.
Annexation No. 37 will annex two parcels into CFD #2.
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
1. A 0.72-acre parcel located at 905 Flower Street, Stanislaus County Assessor’s Parcel 061-004-006, as shown on the attached boundary map (Attachment 1 of the Resolution) into CFD #2. Minor Discretionary Permit 2024-02 (MDP 24-02) was approved on July 12, 2024 authorizing the construction of 11 residential units. Annexation into CFD #2 is required as a condition of approval for the project.
2. A 0.46-acre parcel located at 300 N Soderquist Road, Stanislaus County Assessor’s Parcel 061-003-040, as shown on the attached boundary map (Attachment 1 of the Resolution) into CFD #2. Minor Discretionary Permit 2024-03 (MDP 24-03) was approved on July 12, 2024 authorizing the construction of a 5-unit multifamily residential unit. Annexation into CFD #2 is required as a condition of approval for the project.
The second step in the annexation process entails a public hearing and, where there is unanimous agreement among property owner(s) and fewer than 12 voters, an immediate election. In this case there are seven (7) registered voters within Assessor Parcel Number 061-004-006 (905 Flower Street) and zero (0) registered voters within Assessor Parcel Number 061-003-040 (300 N. Soderquist Road) in the project areas included in this Annexation Number 37. Staff is in possession of all the documents required to conduct and conclude an election to approve the annexation to the district.
3. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Annexation into CFD #2 requires a public hearing and an election.
4. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The annexation of these properties into CFD #2 will increase revenues to the General Fund once the residential units are constructed and will pay for the increase service demand created by the new residential units.
5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval.
6. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
Recommend approval.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action does not constitute a “project” subject to CEQA review. Pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, the creation of governmental funding mechanisms that do not make a commitment to a specific project that has the potential to result in a significant physical impact on the environment are not defined as “projects” under CEQA and, therefore, are not subject to CEQA review. The annexation of this property to CFD #2 for the purpose of funding ongoing operations of police, fire and park maintenance personnel has no potential to cause a physical change in the environment.
8. ALTERNATIVES:
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
1. The Council could choose to not hold the public hearing or the special mailed ballot election to annex the subject properties into CFD#2. This option is not recommended as City General Funds are not sufficient to maintain the level of service standards for police, fire and park maintenance adopted in the Turlock General Plan without new housing developments paying into the CFD#2 assessment. Additionally, annexing into CFD#2 is a condition of approval for these properties to move forward with the respective land use permits to construct more residential units.

City Council Staff Report
August 12, 2025
From: Christopher Fisher, Municipal Services Director
Bill Morris, City Engineer
Prepared by: Tania Hernandez, Staff Services Analyst
Agendized by: Susan E. Borrego, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Resolution: Adopting a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Turlock, acting in its capacity as the legislative body of Community Facilities District No. 3 (Maintenance Services) of the City of Turlock, establishing such community facilities district Resolution: Adopting a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Turlock, California, calling a special election and submitting to the voters of the City of Turlock Community Facilities District No. 3 (Maintenance Services), County of Stanislaus, State of California a measure with respect to the annual levy of special taxes within the community facilities district to pay the costs of certain services to be provided by the community facilities district and a measure with respect to establishing an appropriations limit for said community facilities district
Resolution: Adopting a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Turlock, California, acting in its capacity as the legislative body of City of Turlock Community Facilities District No. 3 (Maintenance Services), County of Stanislaus, State of California, declaring the results of a special election in such a community facilities district Ordinance: Introduction and first reading of an Ordinance adding Turlock Municipal Code Title 3 (Finance), Chapter 3-9 (Construction Taxes), Article 9 (Community Facilities District Number 3)
2. DISCUSSION OF ISSUE:
The City of Turlock is forming the Community Facilities District (CFD) to fund the ongoing maintenance and operation of public services, including but not limited to streetlights, landscaping, storm drain facilities, and streets. Authorized under the Community Facilities Act of 1982, a CFD provides the mechanism for local governments to impose a special tax on properties within a defined area to fund public improvements and services. These special taxes are collected via property tax bills and distributed to the local agency by their county.
To ensure sustainable funding for public services, many local agencies require the formation of or annexation into a CFD as a condition of development approval.
City staff are working to establish Community Facilities District No. 3 (CFD No. 3) with the Balisha Ranch development. This project involves the subdivision of a 17.4-acre parcel into 50 single-family residential lots located in the East Tuolumne Master Plan area. The property owner, JKB Living, Inc., has formally petitioned the City to form a CFD for the purpose of financing certain types of maintenance and operational services associated with the project. Types of infrastructure to be maintained include the following:
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
• 16 streetlights
• 22 storm catch basins
• 37,000 square-foot stormwater basin
• 111,600 square feet of street pavement
• 33,725 square feet of sidewalk
The initial boundaries of CFD No. 3 would include Assessor Parcel Numbers 073-054-001 through 073-055-013.
On June 24, 2025, the City Council approved and adopted Resolution No. 2025-126, a Resolution of Intention to form the CFD. This resolution:
• Described the proposed boundaries of CFD No. 3
• Described the types of services to be funded by CFD No. 3 • Described the Rate and Method of Apportionment (RMA) of the special taxes to be levied on properties within CFD No. 3
• Scheduled a public hearing to be held on August 12, 2025 • Directed the preparation of a report (CFD Report) detailing the proposed services, estimated costs, and tax methodology
In compliance with Section 53321.5 of the California Government Code, the CFD Report has been submitted to the City Council and includes all required information. Additionally, the City Clerk has properly published a Notice of Public Hearing, allowing the CFD formation process to proceed to the next step.
The actions tonight include a public hearing, providing an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed CFD No. 3. If, following the public hearing, there are no majority protests, City Council may consider the following actions:
1. Adopt the Resolution of Formation for CFD No. 3
2. Adopt the Resolution Calling a Special Election to authorize the annual special tax levy
3. Conduct the Special Election
4. Adopt the Resolution Declaring the Results of the Special Election
5. Conduct the First Reading of the Ordinance
As outlined in the RMA, the special tax will be collected in the same manner as ordinary property taxes and will be levied in perpetuity, unless the City Council votes to terminate it.
The area within the City’s boundaries is designated as a future annexation area, meaning that future development projects requiring a parcel map, subdivision map, general plan amendment, rezone, planned development, area-wide plan, annexation, or other discretionary permits may be required to annex into CFD No. 3 as a condition of approval for their project.
City staff, in coordination with Willdan Financial Services (Willdan), will guide the City Council
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
and City Clerk through the CFD formation process. Future annexations into CFD No. 3 will follow a similar process, with continued support from Willdan.
3. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
Revenues collected from CFD No. 3 ensure that those who directly benefit from new development contribute to the ongoing costs of maintaining essential services and infrastructure. As new developments are built, they create long-term needs for the upkeep and eventual rehabilitation of roads, utility systems, landscaped areas, and other public spaces. Requiring these developments to fund their own impacts helps protect the General Fund and prevents the financial burden from falling on existing taxpayers. Without a dedicated funding source, public improvements risk deterioration over time, which can lead to higher future repair costs and a decline in the quality of life for nearby residents. CFD No. 3 provides a structured, equitable tax that offers predictable revenue for long-term budgeting and maintenance planning.
4. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The approval and application of CFD No. 3 will generate revenues to support maintenance services and operations for new development projects. In the first year, the Balisha Ranch subdivision is expected to contribute $74,121.52, or $1,482.43 per lot, as outlined in the RMA. Annual adjustments will be tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers. Revenue from future developments will vary based on the type of land use and the specific improvements and quantities the City will be responsible for maintaining. Future revenue will be collected and deposited into Fund 232, which is the designated fund exclusively for CFD No. 3.
There will be no impact to the General Fund. No budget amendment is required.
5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval.
6. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
Recommend approval.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action has been reviewed per the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State and local CEQA Guidelines, and the City's environmental regulations. The City, acting as the Lead Agency, determined that the ordinance is not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment as there is no possibility that the action would result in a significant environmental impact, and because it does not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3.
8. ALTERNATIVES:
A. Reject approval of the proposed resolutions. City staff does not recommend this option, as the resolutions are necessary for establishing CFD No. 3. Without the formation of this CFD, ongoing maintenance costs for infrastructure in the proposed development would need
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
to be covered by other City funds, increasing the financial burden on the General Fund or other citywide resources.
B. Reject approval of CFD No. 3 and continue to form assessment districts for new development. City staff does not recommend this alternative due to the limitations of assessment districts. They offer less flexibility, require annual reporting, and involve complex administrative processes that make them less efficient over the long term.
C. Provide direction to staff on how to proceed. The Council may wish to provide further direction or request additional changes to the resolutions before they are formally introduced.
This alternative would allow for additional refinement but could delay the adoption timeline and potentially exclude the Balisha Ranch subdivision from being included in CFD No. 3.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section D to the contrary, under no circumstances will the Special Tax levied against any Assessor’s Parcel of Developed Property that is classified as Residential Property be increased by more than ten percent (10%) per Fiscal Year as a consequence of delinquency or default in the payment of the Special Tax by the owner of any other Assessor’s Parcel.
E. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity for the purpose of financing ongoing authorized services and therefore may not be prepaid.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City Council shall classify as Exempt Property: (i) Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, including but not limited to property designated for

The CFD Administrator shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and rule on the appeal. If the decision of the CFD Administrator requires that the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made but an adjustment shall be made to the Special Tax on that Assessor’s Parcel in the subsequent Fiscal Year(s) to compensate for the overpayment of the Special Tax.
H. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that the Special Tax may be billed and collected at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 3.
I. DURATION OF TAX

City Council Staff Report
August 12, 2025
From: Christopher Fisher, Municipal Services Director
Prepared by: Tania Hernandez, Staff Services Analyst
Agendized by: Susan E. Borrego, Interim City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Resolution: Approving the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for all Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts and all Street Maintenance Benefit Assessment Areas in the City of Turlock
Resolution: Confirming diagrams, assessments, and ordering the levying and collection of assessments as originally proposed for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for all Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Districts Exhibit A and all Street Maintenance Benefit Assessment Areas Exhibit B in the City of Turlock pursuant to Resolution No. 97-128
2. DISCUSSION OF ISSUE:
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 and the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 allow for the formation of Assessment Districts and Benefit Assessment Areas. The purpose of assessment districts and benefit assessment areas is to ensure that development pays for its own maintenance and operation of streetlights, landscape maintenance, street sweeping, future slurry seals, and storm drainage facilities. The formation of assessment districts and benefit assessment areas allow the associated developments to be built and not impact existing City funds that maintain these components.
The filing of an annual report is required for each fiscal year assessments to be levied and collected. The Engineer of Work produces an Engineer’s Report detailing the annual costs to each lot of each assessment district and benefit assessment area which are collected on property taxes. The Engineer’s Report is on file with the City Clerk and available to the public.
The proceedings for the filing of the annual report are conducted at two (2) Council meetings.
The first meeting was held on July 22, 2025, at which time Council initiated the proceedings, declared the City’s intention to levy and collect assessments, preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Report, and appointed a time and place for the public hearing. In this second and final meeting, Council will conduct the public hearing and, upon its conclusion, by resolution, confirm the diagrams and assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for filing with the Stanislaus County Auditor.
3. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Staff recommends the filing of the annual report to the Stanislaus County Auditor.
2. City will receive funds collected from the County Auditor for the maintenance of landscaping, streetlights, storm drainage facilities, and streets.
Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
4. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
The assessment districts will generate approximately $2,625,600 in revenue to Fund 246 “Landscape Assessment.” This revenue is used to perform the maintenance work identified in the assessment districts and benefit assessment areas.
5. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval.
6. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
Recommend approval.
7. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:
This action is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with Section 15378 (Project) of the CEQA guidelines. This action consists of “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment” and therefore is not considered a project.
8. ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could choose to decline to approve assessment reports and levy and collect assessments. Staff does not recommend this action because the City utilizes these funds for the maintenance of the streetlights, landscaping, storm drainage facilities, and streets the assessment districts and benefit assessment areas.

KOSMONT COMPANIES | 5
INTRODUCTION
Disclaimer: The analyses, projections, assumptions, and any examples presented herein are for illustrative purposes and are not a guarantee of actual and/or future results. Actual results are difficult to predict as a function of market conditions, natural disasters, pandemics, legislation and administrative actions.
Kosmont Companies ("Kosmont"), a real estate and economics advisory firm serving hundreds of local governments for over 38 years, has been retained by the City of Turlock ("City" or “Turlock") to develop an updated Economic Development Strategic Plan (“EDSP”). The goal of the EDSP update is to provide a current assessment of Turlock’s strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for high-quality job growth and business development, identify and develop a list of prioritized goals and objectives to meet the economic development vision, and provide stakeholder-informed implementation strategies and performance measures.
Kosmont’s approach to preparing the EDSP includes the following tasks:
¡ Review of relevant documents (2017 EDSP and Stanislaus County CEDS), together with a tour of the City and its business districts
¡ Interviews / feedback from City staff and community stakeholders ¡ Assessment of regional economic trends
¡ Assessment of local demographic and market conditions ¡ Assessment of major employment districts
¡ Identification of key opportunities, strategies and economic development tools

INTRODUCTION
¡ The City is the second largest city in Stanislaus County, home to California State University Stanislaus, several cultural experiences, sports activities, twenty-nine parks, sixteen schools, and a full range of medical facilities. ¡ It has been seven years since the last EDSP was produced and the City wants an updated EDSP to reflect current market conditions and community economic development goals. ¡ City would also like to explore economic development projects including additions to the West Side Industrial Specific Plan (“WISP”), Downtown and a Tournament Sports Complex project. ¡ The goal of the new EDSP is to analyze and update the City’s economic vision and goals, assess the City’s current market position and demographics, and develop a list of prioritized goals and objectives that can guide the City for the next three to five years.

HISTORY
¡ The City grew relatively fast up until the 2008 financial crisis. City council established a policy that called for development fee study that required new projects to pay for 100% of the average per unit cost for all utilities, roads, parks and capital facilities. Since then, there has been modest single-family construction with little or no multi-family. ¡ The City is planned with residential development to the east of the 99 freeway and commercial and industrial on the west side. Cal State Stanislaus is located near northern edge of the City. ¡ Downtown is centrally located about 2 miles east from Highway 99. It is 100 years old, retains many historic buildings and is a regional tourist draw with restaurants, retail and office spaces. ¡ Monte Vista Crossing is a major regional power center on both sides of Highway 99 along with several smaller retail centers totaling over 1 million SF. It is the 4th largest center in California. There are 5-6 large large monument signs to advertise each subarea’s tenants.
¡ The southwest quadrant of the City comprises the master planned Westside Industrial Specific Plan (2600 acres), which has seen significant growth in recent years with new ~1 million SF Amazon warehouse and DIVERT biorecycling facility.

2017 EDSP VISION AND GOALS
Vision – Create economically and socially diverse population and vibrant business community in Turlock • Attract, retain and expand businesses in Turlock
• Increase job opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, logistics and medical service cluster and support small business • Be cultural leader in Central Valley for arts, music and other events - Downtown to be business, cultural and civic center • Maintain retail centers competitiveness and seek new market opportunities • Expand tourism and community sporting events/activities • Improve education system and provide support to give all workers access to living wage jobs The EDSP also identified a number of challenges facing the City’s long term sustainability:
• City budget needs strengthening
• Lack of visitor attractions
• Relative lack of hospitals, doctors and health services • Labor shortages in many occupations, need for workforce training • Need for more workforce and executive housing and amenities for young professionals, as well as senior housing • Accelerate development of Southeast and North Specific Plans as scarcity puts upward pressure on local housing prices • Improve industrial companies’ representation in Chamber of Commerce
DRAFT
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 9
2017 EDSP VISION AND GOALS
In the past few years, the City has made substantial progress in addressing these challenges:
• Passage of Measure A in 2021 increased sales tax revenues supporting general fund expenses by $15 million per year • New Amazon warehouse is likely to be City’s largest sales tax generator • WISP has helped attract major new development to City ( Amazon, Divert) • Hotel demand has strengthened with several new hotels in process • City researching opportunities for major indoor sports facility However, one area that has fallen short is the limited production of new single family and multi-family housing City’s population has seen little or no growth in past decade

STANISLAUS COUNTY CEDS
In 2022, Stanislaus County adopted a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (“CEDS”) that outlined regional challenges and discussed assets and opportunities for each community in the County. • County suffers from relatively high unemployment and low high school graduation rates (~80%) • Large numbers of residents commute to the greater Bay Area • Per capita income is well below State levels
• Agriculture is the major economic driver accounting for over $7 billion per year • Manufacturing (food and beverage related) is a growing sector (EJ Gallo Winery, Foster Farms, Del Monte Foods, Blue Diamond)
• Warehouse/Distribution is a strong sector (e.g., 1.1 million SF Amazon warehouse opened in 2022 • Water supply is a major threat to economic prosperity due to State’s frequent drought conditions

OPPORTUNITY STANISLAUS – VOLT INSTITUTE
¡ Stanislaus County formed Opportunity Stanislaus to address regional challenges and opportunities for business in each community in the County by providing business development and talent development services. Opportunity Stanislaus is the County regional economic development arm (501(c) 3) that partners with major private sector businesses. (Dave White – CEO; Eric Nuenfeldt - Executive Director)
¡ Volt Institute is a member of California Manufacturing Network, was established as offshoot of OS in 2017 to provide expedited training in high-paying careers in manufacturing, such as Industrial Maintenance Mechanic and Supervisor Development Academy. “Volt on the Go” is a new program that brings training classes directly to local businesses or community centers.
¡ In 2024, Volt provided 30,000 hours of training for 125 trainees at homesite, plus 156 trainees offsite at employers’ place of business. 91% of the trainees were successfully placed in industrial maintenance and electric mechanisms. The goals for 2025 are to provide apprenticeships and gain national accreditation from ACCET to gain eligibility for financial aid and deepen industry partnerships.

COMMUNITY ASSETS
Kosmont has identified significant community assets that act as regional draws.
Downtown Turlock – Due to age of buildings, there are
ADA and other building code issues that make reuse
problematic. Downtown PBID maintains the 10-12 block
area. Current budget is $215,000 annually. Property
owners pay $0.36 psf of building area +$0.10 pf of land area (including the city hall space). City also contributes $40,000 per year towards maintenance. PBID sponsors
4th of July parade and many small events.
Stanislaus County Fairgrounds is 78-acre site that is
adjacent to the regional transit center. 10-day county fair attracts 240,000 people in summer. 2-day swap meet in
January attracts ~100,000 people. There are many smaller events as well.

ECONOMIC TRENDS
¡ Economic forces are reshaping local economies across the State:
Ø Today’s consumers are using online websites for purchasing a broad array of goods. As e-commerce continues to take an increasing percentage of consumer spending, cities must take new approaches to land use that explore concepts for public amenities and private attractions that help cities capture trips and thus “sales”.
Ø Younger consumers, with increased use of media and digital communication, seek gathering places with restaurants, entertainment venues and experiential retail, rather than simply a collection of traditional store fronts.
Ø Telework dynamics have drastically changed work patterns over the past few years and are poised to reshape office needs. Creative class professionals are attracted to communities with clustered centers, which provide a sense of vitality, diversity, convenience and a mix of work, entertainment, services, arts and culture. ¡ In light of these trends, Kosmont is assisting the City in achieving its economic objective by providing market analysis and recommendations with a goal to foster economic vitality in the City, improving business conditions and resident quality of life.

E-COMMERCE GROWTH
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON BRICK-AND-MORTAR RETAIL
¡ Historically, e-commerce sales in the U.S. have increased steadily over time from 2000 to 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic saw
increased online retail utilization and e-commerce sales soared by 42% compared to 2019. E-commerce sales continued to grow by double-digits into 2021 but cooled to just 6% growth in 2022. 2023 saw an increase in e-commerce sales by 9%
¡ The share of e-commerce sales continues to grow as well with ecommerce reaching 17.1% of total retail sales by year-end 2023. ¡ FTI Consulting’s 2024 Online Retail Report projections indicate U.S. online retail sales would hit $1.2 trillion in 2024, an increase of 9.8% or $108 billion compared to 2023. Additionally, the report states that e-commerce sales growth represented 46% of total retail sales growth in 2023.
¡ Furthermore, a UBS report estimates that 45,000 net retail store closures will occur in the U.S. by 2028 (approximately 5% of the total retail store base)

STRATEGIES / PROPOSED ACTION PLAN
Kosmont has identified Economic Development Strategies and an estimated investment range in order of priority for City’s consideration. Here is a summary that is followed by supporting detail and action items:
1. Business Enhancement, Attraction & Retention (“BEAR”)
2. Housing as Economic Development (Housing Element for Economic Development HEEDTM)
3. Establish Business Incentive Program for targeted retail / commercial /industrial
4. WISP
5. Utilize Value Capture
6. Expand Sports Facilities
7. Downtown Placemaking
8. Gather Performance Metrics to measure annual progress Source: Kosmont Companies

KOSMONT COMPANIES | 29
BUSINESS EXPANSION, ATTRACTION AND RETENTION
A vibrant business sector is important to the fiscal health of the City. Business Expansion, Attraction and Retention (“BEAR”) is the keystone of most economic development departments. Ideally the City should focus on attracting industries with diverse employment opportunities, that embrace new technology and offer higher paying jobs.
City attracted ~1 million SF Amazon warehouse and has had success in large scale food processing with companies such as Divert (converting 100,000 tons of food waste into energy and nutrients), Sensient (global company creating colors, flavors and fragrances from organic foods), and Blue Diamond (using technology to create value added almond products).
Business-friendliness (“How to get to Yes”) is a vital component to support the needs of businesses, developers and to foster entrepreneurship, and bolster the local economy.
Action Item 1: Develop technical assistance programs to support emerging businesses/entrepreneurs in the City.
Action Item 2: Proactively work with business/property-owners to understand challenges and opportunities that may align with the City’s economic development goals. Regularly contact the top 25 Sales Tax generators / Employer Action Item: Pursue Healthcare providers (new and expansion).
Action Item 3: Create customized development agreements/incentive packages to facilitate major tenants.

BUSINESS EXPANSION, ATTRACTION AND RETENTION
Action Item 4: Conduct outreach and collaborate with property owners to explore development opportunities and address challenges that can bring new uses to privately-owned sites.
Action Item 5: Standard plan check review process with a set number of days for initial submission and subsequent submittals.
Action Item 6: Consider incubator/accelerator programs for maker spaces that can help small businesses thrive.
Action Item 7: Online permitting system will improve business attraction and expansion.
Action Item 8: Consider adding business concierge or ombudsman to ED or Planning Dept to assist new business or development applications.
Action Item 9: Attend ICSC and other conferences to meet with major retailers / restaurants / hotels / developers / brokers.

HOUSING AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
(HOUSING ELEMENT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTM)
Source: Kosmont Companies
New housing generates demand for commercial service and retail uses, significant new tax revenues, and supports wide range of local jobs.
New mid to high-end single family housing with recreational amenities can draw regional skilled tradesmen, as well as STEM workers (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) that can attract medical and other professional companies to Turlock.
Office reconfiguration and work at home schedules alleviate traffic and help keep “wallets” in local communities – allowing small businesses to capture more local spending.
High assessed value = annual City share of property taxes of $750 to $1,000 per unit (including VLF In Lieu).
Retail spending by new households of $25,000 to $30,000 could generate $500 to $600 annually in sales and use taxes (including E-commerce spending from new Amazon warehouse).

BUSINESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM
There are a wide range of business and economic development incentive programs utilized by communities across the State. The City can create such a program, but first it is important to set specific goals (e.g., assist small business, expand job creation, attract major tax generator, attract downtown development) and create a system to measure the success of each initiative. Cost of implementing can vary: job credits, façade improvement and infrastructure represent out of pocket costs, while tax sharing agreements and fee waivers are offset by new development tax revenues.
Examples of incentives include:
¡ Fast track permitting
¡ Tax sharing agreements / tax abatements
¡ Job tax credits / Workforce training
¡ Façade Improvement Program
¡ Infrastructure investment
¡ Fee waivers / deferrals in targeted areas
See Section 5 – Regional Econ Dev Comparison for specific examples of incentives used by nearby cities Source: Kosmont Companies
DRAFT
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 33
IMPACT FEES AND CREDITS
Development Impact Fees can be an obstacle to new development. Kosmont’s analysis indicates that residential and industrial impact fees are 50% to 150% higher than Modesto and Merced. There appears to have been less than 350 new apartment units built in past 15 years. City should consider re-examining its development fee schedule. ¡ Consider establishing a Citywide policy of Impact Fee Credits to encourage redevelopment opportunities. This is a strategy used by Sacramento County allowing developers to receive (harvest) a pro rata credit for impact fees from demolition of existing commercial centers against impact fees for new redevelopment. ¡ The Sacramento County Ordinance provides credits from demolition of commercial buildings on a square footage basis. The credit captures Road, Water and Drainage, and other fees and can be applied towards the impact fees required for construction of new square footage. The credit has a term of three years and can be extended for one additional year. The credit can also be used on different assessor parcels if the parcels are contiguous. ¡ The Ordinance is credited for the redevelopment of How Bout Arden (HBA), Country Club Centre and Country Club Plaza in Sacramento.

WESTSIDE INDUSTRIAL SPECIFIC PLAN (WISP)
Source: Kosmont Companies
The City has a 20-year old Master Plan for the 2,600-acre Turlock Industrial Park, which is in need of significant infrastructure. The recent construction of the ~1 million SF Amazon warehouse at the northern end of WISP was a major economic success, but not every new tenant can invest the millions of dollars for impact fees and wait years.
Action Item 1: Establish Community Facilities Districts to help major land owners finance the infrastructure backbone and enable them to attract developers who market to major users in need of near-term space for rent.
Action Item 2: City Econ Dev Staff to participate in NAIOP and other industrial organizations to promoteWISP Action Item 3: Explore creation of Property Business Improvement District (PBID) to give area a unified image.
Action Item 4: Consider update of the Specific Plan with an emphasis on assisting economic growth.
Action Item 5: Explore feasibility of Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District to refund CFD Special Taxes paid by developers for the upfront infrastructure (See Section 7 discussion of EIFD financing strategies).

UTILIZE VALUE CAPTURE REAL ESTATE STRATEGIES
Public and private sector real estate can be important assets to leverage for long-term economic development benefits. While Turlock has limited publicly owned land available for new development, there are many large private sector properties that can be leveraged, as discussed on following slides.
Capture Value from Private Real Estate
• From Value Capture Zoning VCZTM - Development Opportunity Reserve (D.O.R.®) allows cities to create a “bank” of new density in zoning / specific plans, allowing them to give the density to projects that deliver community benefits & public amenities.* • From Tax Increment and Special Districts - Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (“EIFD”) use property tax increment and Community Facility Districts (“CFD”) are tools to fund important local and regional infrastructure, especially WISP.* • From Public Private Partnerships - Enter into partnerships with property-owners to commit local government resources, help solicit development proposals that will advance both the property owner’s goals and the community’s goals.
Capture Value from Public Real Estate
• Cities can use a variety of sale or lease strategies to capture the value of their properties, while also increasing the General Fund tax base.

DOWNTOWN PLACEMAKING
Source: Kosmont Companies
A healthy Downtown is important to a city. Turlock has significant assets, but the age of many buildings makes reuse challenging.
Action Item 1: Consider programs to help existing businesses (such as façade improvement programs, streetery / outdoor retail) and help existing properties utilize their space (such as expanding allowable uses in storefront spaces and allowing small scale manufacturing, food makers, artisans, breweries, woodworkers). Support non-profits willing to develop collaborative spaces with tools and other resources in underutilized buildings.
Action Item 2: Explore expansion of the Property Based District to support enhanced cleaning, security, marketing and physical improvements in downtown.
Action Item 3: Evaluate publicly-owned opportunity sites in the downtown area – such as the surface parking lots– to evaluate potential reuse strategies that aim to add gathering places, activities, and other amenities.
Action Item 4: Invest in physical improvements that can create sense of place and further activate the downtown area—through gateway signage and wayfinding, public art, pedestrian-oriented improvements such as plazas and outdoor spaces, water features, street improvements, micro-transit services.
Action Item 5: Grow social media engagement channels, social medial influencer/engagement channels, as well as marketing/trade publications to promote Downtown businesses and events.

SPORTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
In the past decade, youth sports facilities have become a major economic driver for suburban communities across the U.S. with families traveling hours to participate in weekend tournaments for baseball, softball, soccer, tennis etc. In early 2022, the City retained Victus Advisors to analyze the potential for an indoor sports center in Turlock. Based on extensive interviews from County business and community leaders and other stakeholders they found significant support for an indoor facility to serve up to 80 weekend tournaments per year (e.g. basketball, volleyball, pickleball, cheer leading). During the week, the facility would be used by local groups. ¡ Victus estimated the center could increase overnight hotel visits by 76,000 per year and generate over $50 million in economic activity and close to $1 million per year in hotel and sales tax revenues to Turlock. ¡ Kosmont research found exciting examples of sports facilities built in rural/suburban areas that expanded into major entertainment centers that can be good examples for Turlock to consider. ¡ WISP has large land to accommodate a major indoor/outdoor sports facility and supporting retail, entertainment and hospitality uses. If desired by City Council, consider interviewing sports facility experts with operation experience on projects illustrated on following pages.

Kosmont has prepared a summary of various Economic Development tools and a playbook that the City can consider for Value Capture and to facilitate future development:
Capture Value from Tax Increment and Special Districts
• Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD”) use property tax increment and Community Facility Districts (“CFD”) are tools to fund important local and regional infrastructure.
Capture Value from Zoning (Value Capture Zoning VCZTM)
• Development Opportunity Reserve (D.O.R.)® allows cities to create a “bank” of new density in zoning / specific plans, allowing them to give the density to projects that deliver community benefits & public amenities.
Capture Value from Real Estate
• Cities can use a variety of strategies to capture the value of their properties (sale or long-term lease / Surplus Land Act).

SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING
¡ Public agencies can utilize a variety of tax increment financing (TIF) and special district tools to fund infrastructure projects that can help to motivate private investment. This includes Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs), community facilities districts (CFDs), and business improvement districts (BIDs). These special districts are not mutually exclusive, and can work well together to advance goals of motivating private investment. ¡ Enhanced Infrastructure Financing Districts (EIFDs) may be well suited for some of the Region’s opportunity areas that have significant infrastructure needs (roads / connectivity, water / sewer, electricity, telecom / broadband, etc.). ¡ EIFDs utilize property tax revenues from new development to finance public infrastructure projects without introducing new or increased taxes.
¡ EIFD project areas do not have to be contiguous, allowing them to target specific areas of high development and high infrastructure need.
¡ The district commitment of revenues toward infrastructure can induce private sector investment, accelerate growth, create jobs, and capture / grow fiscal revenues.

OTHER DISTRICT TOOLS
Property Business
Improvement
Districts (PBID)
Property Business Improvement Districts are special assessments levied on real property to fund improvements and promote activities the benefit the properties located within the PBID area. This includes capital improvements, parking facilities, street / streetscape improvements, lighting and landscaping, marketing and promotion, and business attraction / retention. The special assessment amount that each property owner pays must be directly proportional to the benefit received.
Community
Facilities District
(CFD)
Community Facility Districts are a new property assessment or ”special tax” that appears as a separate line item on a tax bill and can be used to fund infrastructure / services that benefit the property. This includes transportation, parking, street / utility improvements, hazardous waste remediation, street lighting / sidewalk, and public services. CFDs are useful because they provide early financing for a variety of critical services and infrastructure. CFDs also pair well with EIFDs as a value capture strategy – with CFDs providing early funding and EIFDs providing funds as projects are constructed, and tax increment grows.
Parking Authority
District
Parking Authority Districts can utilize a variety of funding sources – including bonds, ad valorem taxes, user fees, parking meter charges, parking revenues, and City / County contributions – to fund improvements such as parking lots, structures, and alterations to circulatory infrastructure to facilitate ingress and egress.
Climate
Resilience
District (CRD)
Climate Resilience Districts are a new type of district can fund projects to mitigate climate change. These districts have broad financing powers, and can fund a wide range of eligible projects, including projects that address sea level rise / flooding, extreme weather, wildfire, and drought.

SURPLUS LAND ACT CONSIDERATIONS
(FOR PUBLIC AGENCY OWNED PROPERTIES)
¡ The Surplus Land Act (SLA) was passed in response to the housing shortage in California. Public agency owned property cannot be sold or leased until it complies with the SLA, with certain exceptions.
¡ After navigating the SLA for a City-owned site, either an affordable housing project will be ready to come to the site, or the City will have the ability to market the land for a different use.
¡ SLA requires an up to 150-day (NOA for 60 days + good faith negotiations for 90 days) RFP process to either select or reject an affordable housing project/proposal. City does not have to sell the property for less than fair market value. If rejected, property can be sold to broader market.
¡ After completing the process, any development will be subject to a covenant requiring any residential development with 10 or more units to provide at least 15% of units available to low-income households.
¡ If local agency does not comply with SLA, HCD will impose fine of 30% of final sale price for first violation, 50% of final sale price for second violation. ¡ City should engage real estate and legal counsel to navigate SLA process and conduct appropriate property due diligence.
¡ Potential exemptions include leases existing prior to 1/1/2019, land dedicated for 75% or more affordable housing or public uses and land not suitable (too small).
SLA Required Disposition Process
1. Declaration of the property as either “surplus” or “exempt surplus.”
2. If declared “surplus,” disseminate a Notice of Availability (NOA) offering the property to other government agencies and
affordable housing developers for a period of 60 days.
3. If the City receives letters of interest from government agencies and/or affordable housing developers, then it must negotiate in good faith with those interested parties for a period of 90 days.
4. After the 90-day good faith negotiation period, the City must notify the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and provide information that documents compliance with the process and request a letter of compliance.
5. HCD has 30 days to respond to City with questions/request for more information and, at the conclusion of the 30-day period, must provide a letter stating that the City has complied with the process or not.

A.1 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
¡ Like most cities, Turlock saw major declines in retail sales taxes following the Great Recession in 2008-09. It took until 2015 before sales recovered to 2008 level. However, Citywide retail sales growth have been very strong for the past decade, with growth averaging approximately 6% per year, excluding the impact of new Amazon facility, which will add several million dollars per year in tax revenue. We note that during Covid, the City had only one quarter decline in sales of approximately 7%.
¡ There has been strength in most categories with the exception of gasoline and furniture sales, reflecting the increase in electric vehicles and lack of new home development.
¡ The graphs on next page illustrate how important retail sales and use taxes are to Turlock, representing almost 60% of total general fund revenues, compared to less than 22% for the average city in California, which rely more on property taxes, utility taxes, and other business taxes.

RETAIL VOID ANALYSIS
Kosmont utilized data from Placer.ai, a mobile data analytics provider with access to travel patterns of 30 million devices, together with proprietary data from individual retail chains to identify potential retailers suitable for the vacant sites located along the 99 Fwy. Retail Corridor, south of Monte Vista Crossings and north of Countryside Plaza. ¡ The Void Analysis identifies which retail chains may be a good fit for the area, based on various measures, including in-state expansion, demographic fit score, cannibalization score, and relative fit score as explained herein. ¡ Demographic fit analysis determines which chains may be a good fit, based on a variety of demographic metrics and the level of trade area overlap with existing locations. ¡ The cannibalization score measures the estimated overlap between the studied trade area and the trade areas of existing retail store locations nearby.
¡ The relative fit score combines demographic fit scores, cannibalization score, and other metrics (number of visits). ¡ The chains were filtered by relative fit score and by in-state expansion. ¡ Although the 99 Fwy. Retail Corridor has a substantial amount of retail, there were several fast-food/fast-casual and grocery retailers that featured strong demographic fit and relative fit scores (74 and above)

RETAILER VOID
ANALYSIS
PLACER.AI
To identify potential retail options for the
Site, Placer.ai’sVoid Analysis Tool analyzed
the drive time trade area for the
neighboring Countryside Plaza retail
center and compared it to trade area data
for various retail categories, including
dining and entertainment.
The list on the following slide identifies
potential tenants. The list is filtered for
chains with positive in-state expansion
rates and excludes chains with high
cannibalization score.

Score Description How to Interpret
Demographic
Fit Score
The demographic fit score measures how well
retailer customers fit the demographic profile of
a property.
The demographic fit score combines the
similarity such as household income distribution,
educational attainment, ethnicity, age, household
type, and marital status – essentially measuring
the shared level between the property and the
prospective retailer.
Demographic fit scores and attribute
similarity scores that are closer to
100 are a better match.
A demographic fit score of 0 would
mean there is no demographic
similarity between the local trade
area and the trade areas of the
retailer chain.
Cannibalization
Score
The cannibalization score measures the
estimated overlap between the studied trade
area and the trade areas of existing retail store
locations nearby.
This overlap assesses how much a new store for
that brand would “cannibalize” consumers that
are already served by existing nearby locations of
that brand.
Cannibalization scores closer to 0 are
a better match.
A cannibalization score of 100 would
imply that the trade area for a new
store iwould draw consumers that
are already served by existing nearby
stores.
Relative Fit
Score
The relative fit score combines demographic fit
scores, cannibalization score, and other metrics
(such as average monthly visits) to arrive at one
simplified score.
A relative fit score of 100% indicates
the chain is the highest-ranked match
relative to the full list of chains that
were examined.

HOSPITALITY MARKET OVERVIEW
Kosmont utilized Costar hotel data to measure the strength of the hospitality market for the Stanislaus County region. ¡ The market area contains mostly economy and midscale-class hotels. Approximately 60% of hotels in Turlock and the County are economy and midscale class. However, from a room-count basis, 55% of the hotel rooms in the region are in upper midscale and upscale class hotels, and new hotels that are planned or under construction in the area, are mostly upper midscale or upscale class hotels.
¡ Manteca has the only upper upscale hotel (500-room Great Wolf Lodge and Waterpark) ¡ The Costar analysis examined hotel market performance across a 6-year span beginning from the 12-month period of Nov. 2018 - Oct. 2019 to Nov. 2023 - Oct. 2024. The data showed significant differences in occupancy and average daily rates (“ADR”) between economy/midscale and upscale hotels.
¡ Turlock economy/midscale hotels saw a decline in demand of 22%, while ADR increased by 14% from $86.20 to $98.13. ¡ Turlock upper midscale/upscale hotels saw 90 new units built and achieved an 11.7% increase in room night demand, while ADR increased by 13.4% from $125.78 to $142,59.

HOSPITALITY MARKET
¡ The hospitality market has hotels with different levels of service:
Ø A limited-service hotel is a budget-friendly hotel offering low-cost accommodations, minimal amenities, and typically do not offer a full-service restaurant. These hotels typically fall under economy, midscale, or upper midscale classes according to STR
Ø A select-service hotel offers more amenities than a limited-service hotel, such as small meeting spaces and a casual restaurant, but fewer features than a fullservice hotel. Select-service hotels are a blend of full- and limited-service hotels and are the fastest growing type of hotels being developed. These hotels typically are upper midscale or upscale class hotels
Ø A full-service hotel offers more services than a select- or limited-service hotel.
Such services could include larger banquet/conference space, restaurants/bars, shuttle services, laundry service, room service, expanded fitness centers, and spas.
Full-service can refer to different hotel types including boutique hotels and resorts and generally fall under upscale, upper upscale, and luxury class hotels ¡ Economy hotels are patronized primarily through drive-by visitors, while large hotel chains have Rewards Programs with millions of loyal customers, who will search for those properties on the internet, thus increasing demand ¡ Examples of various hotels by class are highlighted in the table to the right. Note: STR hotel classes are typically grouped according to actual average room rates Class Hotels
