However, the City of Turlock reserves the right to make revisions, without guarantee of timely notification.

The decision of the City will be final.

Any exemptions from the requirements of these standards shall require prior approval from the Housing Program Services staff, only when it is clearly evident that the materials and methods to be used meet the minimum requirements of the applicable codes.

All work performed under these standards shall meet or exceed the following codes, standards, and ordinances, as adopted by the City of Turlock:

Section 10. Contractor's Obligation to Maintain Lien-Free Title.

If any claim of mechanic's lien or stop notice is filed or made against OWNER’s property in connection with the work, the CONTRACTOR shall immediately pay and fully discharge the mechanic's lien or stop notice claim, or, in the alternative, may deliver to OWNER a release of lien or stop notice by surety bond in a legally sufficient form and amount to discharge the mechanic's lien or stop notice. If the CONTRACTOR fails to immediately provide the documentation, deposits, records of payment or surety bonds required by this Section, OWNER may (1) obtain any deposits or surety, or (2) make payments to claimants against the work, the CONTRACTOR, OWNER or OWNER's affiliates in good faith, as reasonably required to release the mechanic's lien or stop notice claim. OWNER may withhold the cost of obtaining such deposits or surety or of making such payments from any payment that would otherwise be due to the CONTRACTOR. Failure of OWNER to withhold any or part of any payment pursuant to this paragraph shall not be a waiver of any right of OWNER under this Contract.

Withholding of any payment or part of any payment by OWNER pursuant to this paragraph shall not be a breach of this Contract.

Section 11. Delays and Extensions of Time:
a. If the CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by any act or neglect of the OWNER, or by any separate contractor employed by the OWNER, or by changes ordered in the work, or by labor disputes, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties, severe weather, inability to acquire materials due to shortages or supply chain issues, local, state or federal emergency restrictions, or any causes beyond the CONTRACTOR's control or due to pending arbitration, or by any other cause which is beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, the time for completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the OWNER shall determine if the OWNER determines that such delay is justified based on the circumstances. CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to an extension of the time for performance pursuant to this section unless and until CONTRACTOR provides written notice to the OWNER of the cause for such delay. b. The time of completion may also be extended for the benefit of the OWNER if the OWNER determines that such extension is reasonable and necessary and will not cause a hardship on the CONTRACTOR.
c. A request for a time extension for any of the reasons set forth above must be made in writing and submitted to the OWNER no later than ten (10) days after the occurrence or claimed occurrence of unavoidable delay.

However, the City of Turlock reserves the right to make revisions, without guarantee of timely notification.

The decision of the City will be final.

Any exemptions from the requirements of these standards shall require prior approval from the Housing Program Services staff, only when it is clearly evident that the materials and methods to be used meet the minimum requirements of the applicable codes.

All work performed under these standards shall meet or exceed the following codes, standards, and ordinances, as adopted by the City of Turlock:

Current California Building Code and Residential Code
Current California Plumbing Code

City Council Staff Report

From: Adrienne Werner, Development Services Director
Prepared by: Adrienne Werner, Development Services Director Agendized by: Susan E. Borrego, Interim City Manager

1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:

Authorizing the submittal of an application to the Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) for and receipt of Regional Early Action Planning Grant Program of 2021 program funds to support the City of Turlock's efforts to achieve its housing and equity goals outlined in the General Plan and Housing Element, and authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute necessary documents.

2. DISCUSSION OF ISSUE:

On June 17, 2025, StanCOG held a workshop for member agencies to discuss StanCOG’s Transformative Funding Suballocation Program. Through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Regional Early Action Planning Grant Program of 2021 (REAP 2.0) the Transformative Funding Suballocation REAP 2.0 aims to support projects that promote housing and equity goals, reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita, and advance the implementation of the region’s Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS).

As part of this program, StanCOG was awarded $7,091,993 in total funding, of which $3.1 million has been allocated for the Transformative Funding Suballocation Program to be distributed among StanCOG member agencies. The City of Turlock is eligible to receive up to $454,769 through this suballocation with the intent to utilize the funding to support efforts that align with REAP 2.0’s objectives.

Eligible project examples include:
• Planning activities that lead to increased residential and/or mixed-use zoned capacity in areas identified as infill
• Upgrading infrastructure for sewer, water, and dry utility systems • Facilitate compliance with and implementation of the housing element • Promote development of affordable housing sites
• Affordable Housing development programs
• Affordable Housing unit production
• Multimodal infrastructure connections with multimodal-mobility transportation systems
Staff has identified projects that align with the program goals of meeting housing and equity goals, reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita, and advancing the implementation of the Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The potential projects are identified below:

Agenda Staff Report
8/12/2025
• Objective development standards
• Master Plan County Islands (“Montana-West”)
• Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance
• Congregational Overlay
The Montana-West area includes three (3) of Turlock’s seven (7) unincorporated County islands and includes approximately 50 acres. The area is generally bounded by Montana Avenue to the south, State Route 99 and Soderquist Road to the west, South Avenue to the north, and Orange Street to the east. The predominant land use is low-density residential, with a significant number of vacant and underutilized parcels. The Turlock General Plan identifies the master planning, improvement, and eventual incorporation of all County islands as a high priority. Specifically, General Plan Policy 3.1-m encourages the master planning of the Montana-West area as a strategy to support future incorporation.

The potential projects identified above would achieve the goals of REAP 2.0 leading to increased residential and/or mixed-use zoned capacity, facilitating compliance with and implementation of the Housing Element, and also meeting General Plan policies.

A consultant will be retained to develop the required documents and ensure alignment with State law and the General Plan.

The REAP 2.0 grant fund operates under a strict timeline, with applications due to StanCOG by August 15, 2025, and all funds required to be fully expended by December 31, 2026.

3. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:

The StanCOG application requires a resolution by the City Council authorizing the application for and receipt of REAP 2.0 grant funds to be submitted as part of the grant application.

4. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:

The additional REAP funds will fund work necessary to accelerate housing production and facilitate compliance with the sixth 6 Cycle Housing Element. Accepting the additional funding takes the burden off of the General Fund.

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(b)(5) [Project] of the CEQA guidelines. This is an organizational or administrative activity involving the submittal of an application to receive additional suballocation of Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) Funds. This action will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

Agenda Staff Report

8. ALTERNATIVES:

1. Council could choose to not accept the additional REAP funds. Staff does not recommend this option as this is an opportunity to receive additional revenue to complete the update of the Housing Element that the General Fund would otherwise have to fund.

9. ATTACHMENTS:
