Don't need more housing that bring more cars/traffic congestion; need more affordable housing (rents/housing too high); building more places no on can afford won't help North Golden State
None that I can think of
Not being specific, but within city limits (older areas) there is considerable open space that could and should be developed.

LEAVE ALONE AND RESIST STATE MANDATE
Sr housing near shopping, medical ctrs & hospital; housing for students & commuters in north Turlock; housing for internationals/immigrants should be near Fulkerth - W Main (by theater) More housing is not in Turlock's best interest, s/b gradual; state mandates aren't in best interest of Turlock's small town feel & safety; growth more crime/gangs/depreciation of current home values No - Stop building apartments in single home residential areas Empty lots throughout Turlock, vacant for decades, surrounded by housing: Fulkerth & Tully; Johnson & Hawkeye
I am not in support of new population if we don't solve the water problem.
Not much land left in Turlock; maybe Denair & Turlock can start getting closer to each other "to fill the gap". But that will depend on the county, unsure how that works.
No - any new housing should be single family and not a developer new housing is destroying Turlock East Turlock; South-East Turlock; South Golden St

More low income housing & services; less-way less high cost; pushes up the cost of living for everyone & then you get more homeless
You already screwed up by building all the shopping stores out by Home Depot. What kind of moron didn't plan ahead for all that traffic.

Taylor Rd needs improvement, potholes & flooding during rainy days Vary areas for shopping center; bad choices were made when EVERYTHING was developed on Countryside Dr, now congested all the time
Recommend building up (apartments) rather than building out (single family homes) Geer & Monte Vista, across from the college

This is a useless survey; need to provide a basic context for citizens to understand the Turlock environment & what the options mean, hold a forum, or already may be planned, or this is a pro forma exercise.
Lower existing housing costs; build housing away from business area; promote family & communities New development will make Turlock too crowded; Turlock has a nice feel of a small city, new homes will lose that, crime will increase

Restore and improve existing areas on outskirts and make them profitable before thinking about expansions. Improve what you have then expand. The old sawmill is prime example of wasted potential and unused land.
Underdeveloped property @ Monte Vista & Geer (N.E. corner). North Golden State corridor has huge properties for housing & re-development. Road condition in spots needs to be addressed. Stop adding traffic lights & use roundabouts where feasible fo rbetter traffic flow.
No more housing, there is more than enough housing and it's taking away from the country feeling and bringing in more traffic.

build housing for homeless low income near Bonander Automotive on empty lot of for seniors Crane Ave there are pockets of empty land that could be filled in however, the permit process is cumbersome for the average person to even upgrade much less develop. so big companies are the only ones to build and transfer charge as much as they want

• Are the sites and densities proposed appropriate to include in the Draft Housing Element?
• Are there other sites or areas that should be included in the inventory? • Should the Draft Housing Element incorporate an SB9 housing ordinance and/or a congregational housing overlay that provide property owners with options to develop different types of housing if they wish? • Should the City develop programs to incentivize and facilitate ADU production beyond the annual rate of 8 ADUs per year that has been seen since 2018?

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TURLOCK AMENDING TITLE 9 (ZONING) OF THE TURLOCK MUNICIPAL CODE ADDING ARTICLE 6 (COMMERCIALRESIDENTIAL MIXED-USE ZONES) INCLUDING SECTION 9-6-110 (STREAMLINED
MINISTERIAL APPROVAL FOR QUALIFYING HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN COMMERCIAL-RESIDENTIAL MIXED-USE ZONES), AND AMENDING TMC 9-3-202 TO
IMPLEMENT THE GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT
WHEREAS, the City of Turlock, California ("City") is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS State law authorizes cities to adopt and administer zoning ordinances to implement General Plans and requires that zoning regulations be consistent with the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, in recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that, among other things, amended t h e Government Code (1) to require General Plan Housing Elements to analyze the availability of land resources in the City to accommodate the City’s share of the region’s future housing needs and to identify zoning amendments needed to meet these needs and (2) to enable by-right development of mixed-use projects and affordable housing in commercial corridors; and
WHEREAS, the City wants to explore and, to the extent feasible, use all available tools to meet its mandated regional housing goals and implement State law; and WHEREAS, the City had determined that certain sites in the City, which have been identified in the General Plan Housing Element, provide opportunities for mixed-use and multi-family housing and that these sites are a means of providing housing for teachers, restaurant and service workers, firefighters, police officers, and others employed in the City and Stanislaus County and may enable the City to respond to the State’s requirements with appropriate objective development and design standards and incentives for additional affordable housing units; and
WHEREAS, the City wants to continue to protect existing housing resources and ensure appropriate transitions to adjacent lower density uses; and WHEREAS, the City desires to amend its local regulatory scheme for these zoning regulations to implement the General Plan Housing Element and to comply with the governing provisions of Government Code and recent court cases; and WHEREAS, the City proposes to amend Title 9 (Zoning) of the Turlock Municipal Code adding Article 6 (Commercial-Residential Mixed-Use Zones), including Section 9-6- 110 (Streamlined Ministerial Approval for Qualifying Housing Development Projects in Commercial-Residential Mixed-Use Zones), and amend Turlock Municipal Code 9-3-202 (Use Classifications) to implement the General Plan Housing Element; and WHEREAS, on August 6, 2026, the Planning Commission of the City of Turlock voted
to recommend the City Council adopt the ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on August 11, 2026 after considering the staff report and public comment the City Council found:
1. That the pubic necessity, convenience and general welfare support the proposed amendment.
2. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the Turlock General Plan.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Turlock as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS: The recitals and findings set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference
SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: Find the project “Exempt” from the provisions of CEQA in accordance with Section 21080.085 of the Public Resources Code which establishes a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for rezoning undertaken to implement the schedule of actions in a housing element that has been “approved” by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
SECTION 3. ADDITION: Title 9, Chapter 3 is hereby amended as follows:
ARTICLE 6 Commercial-Residential Mixed-Use District Regulations 9-3-601 Specific Purpose.
(1) Purpose and applicability. The purpose of the Commercial-Residential Mixed-use (CRMU) zones is to promote the development of affordable workforce housing for lower and moderate-income households in specific areas of the city identified in the General Plan. The CRMU zones permit a broad range of commercial and residential uses and allow densities of 20 to 35 dwelling units per acre. In addition, the approval process for projects in the CRMU zones is streamlined, with ministerial approval for qualifying projects with affordable housing using checklists and objective standards as required by State law.
(2) CRMU Subdistricts. Three CRMU subdistricts are created with land use regulations tailored to existing and planned development. The additional purposes of these subdistricts are as follows.
(a) CRMU-A subdistrict. To provide a residential-commercial mixed-use zone that will accommodate residential development, retail and service uses, and business and professional offices in transitional areas adjacent to residential neighborhoods.
(b) CRMU-B subdistrict. To provide opportunities for residential development along with a wide range of retail stores, restaurants, hotels and motels, commercial recreation, personal services, business services and financial services and for limited office uses.
(c) CRMU-C subdistrict. To provide opportunities for residential development and mixed-use development that includes retail, wholesale, and service businesses and limited manufacturing uses that have impacts comparable to those of retail and service uses. (d) CRMU-D subdistrict. To provide opportunities for residential development and mixed-use development that includes a range of general services.
(3) Relation to pre-existing development. The CRMU zones use regulations and development standards apply to new development and alterations and additions to existing structures and uses. Nonconforming uses and structures are subject to Article 3 of this title. Article 3 permits limited but reasonable opportunities for the continuation, replacement, and expansion of nonconforming uses and for nonconforming structures that are not a public nuisance to be repaired, enlarged, and improved if it is in the public interest. Article 3 also provides for the removal of nonconforming uses and structures or change to conforming uses and structures when such uses and structures are a public nuisance.
(4) Non-residential projects. For 100 percent non-residential projects, the development standards of the pre-existing zoning district shall apply. In this context, pre-existing means the zoning established prior to the effective date of the ordinance enacting the CRMU district.
9-3-602 Use Classifications.
Land use classifications for the CRMU districts are shown in Table 9-3-602-A. In the table, the letter "P" designates use classifications permitted in CRMU subdistricts, the letters "NP" designate use classifications not permitted, the letters "MAA" designate use classifications allowed on approval of a minor administrative approval, the letters "MDP" designate use classifications allowed on approval of a minor discretionary permit, and the letters "CUP" designate use classifications allowed on approval of a conditional use permit.
All new or expanded uses of a site or structure shall obtain the necessary permits as indicated in the following schedule.
All new or expanded uses of a site or structure, involving an expansion of floor area of one thousand (1,000) square feet or twenty-five (25%) percent of the existing building floor area, whichever is less, are subject to design review in accordance with Article 10 of Chapter 9-5 TMC, unless a project is a qualifying housing development subject to streamlined ministerial approval as provided by Section 9-3-607. New or expanded uses subject to design review shall obtain an MDP design review permit. Design review shall take place concurrently with the processing of any other required permit. Compliance with the adopted design guidelines of the City of Turlock is mandatory for all commercial developments subject to design review.
Any change in use or business within an existing structure that is permitted or, in the opinion of the Development Services Director, is suitable to the site and structures in which it is located and does not increase the intensity or impact of its prior use shall obtain a zoning certificate in accordance with Article 2 of Chapter 9-5 TMC (Zoning Certificates and Home Occupation Permits). The zoning certificate shall be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit or prior to commencement of a use where no building permit is required.
Uses not contained in the following schedule may be permitted subject to a conditional use permit. Such conditional uses must be of a similar nature and intensity as other uses in the district as determined by the Development Services Director or designee.

The unit shall be a permanent structure that is architecturally compatible with the main industrial buildings and must be clearly accessory to the industrial use.
(4) Minimum amount of residential in a mixed-use project. A minimum of 50 percent of the total floor area in a mixed-use project shall be devoted to residential use. (5) Minimum amount of retail and service uses in certain mixed-use projects. In a mixeduse project in the CRMU-B and CRMU-C, at least 10 percent of the gross floor area shall be reserved for and occupied by activity generating uses, such as retail shops, eating and drinking establishments, retail banks, offices for walk-in clientele, business services, or businesses offering personal services. If the project is within or adjacent to a shopping center or regional retail complex, this requirement for onsite activity generating uses shall be reduced to 5 percent. This does not preclude the development of a 100 percent residential project in any CRMU zone. (6) Active and pedestrian-oriented frontages required in a mixed-use project. Along the primary building frontage (ie. façade facing the front of the lot), active ground floor uses are required in mixed-use buildings with residential uses above commercial uses for at least 70 percent of street-facing tenant space. These uses may include retail shops, eating and drinking establishments, retail banks, business and personal services, and offices for walk-in clientele, such as employment agencies, insurance offices, real estate offices, travel agencies, and offices for elected officials. In a mixed-use project with through lots, the primary frontage may be the frontage providing the principal pedestrian access from an adjoining street; it does not have to be the frontage with primary vehicular access.

Notes:
[1] The minimum area for development on residential-only lots is 7,500 square feet. The minimum site area may be reduced from 20,000 to 10,000 sq. ft. for mixed-use development on infill lots. [2] The minimum lot width for new residential-only lots within a mixed-use development is 60 feet.
This standard does not apply to pre-existing lots.
[3] Impervious driveways, walkways, parking areas, patios, decks, and other paved areas shall be excluded from the calculation of lot coverage. This standard does not apply to a 100 percent non-residential project.
[4] For parcels fronting West Main Street, the maximum permitted density is 30 units per net acre, per 9-3-602(1)(a).
[5] On lots that are larger that 40,000 sq. ft. and not located on West Main Street additional height is allowed up to 38 feet to accommodate ground-floor retail and restaurant space with high ceilings, sloped roofs, and parapets for rooftop open space.
Exterior rooftop enclosures for elevators and stair towers may project up to 5 feet above this height limit on lots that are larger than 40,000 sq.ft. [6] Adjacent to the R-E, R-L, R-L4.5 and R-M residential zoning districts, an additional 5-foot upper-story setback for the third level is required along interior lot lines. [7] A minimum 20-foot setback must be provided for garages and carports facing a street. [8] Where ground-floor residential units are proposed with adjoining ground-floor decks along a street frontage, which may project 2-feet into a landscaped front or corner side setback. [9] For a 100 percent non-residential project, the minimum landscape coverage is 7.5 percent plus any landscaping required by Article 2 of Chapter 2 TMC (Off-street Parking and Loading Regulations).
[10] No maximum building height is established for sites where the pre-existing zoning was C-H or C-T provided the maximum floor FAR does not exceed 0.35. (1) Required building walls. Building walls shall be constructed along or within 15 feet of the front property line for a minimum of 60 percent of the primary street frontage and 40 percent on secondary street frontages. This requirement may be waived by the Development Services Director upon finding that:
(a) Ground-floor residential uses are proposed, a minimum 20-foot setback will be provided (10 feet on West Main Street and on lots with less than 15,000 sq.ft.), and substantial landscaping will be located between the front property line and ground-floor residential units as a buffer; and (b) Entry courtyards, plazas, entries, or outdoor eating areas are located between the build-to line and the building and buildings are constructed at the edge of the courtyard, plaza, or outdoor dining area. (2) Building mass and scale.
(a) To reduce upper-story building mass, the floor area for the third story and above shall not exceed 80 percent of the area of the ground-floor.
The Development Services Director may waive this requirement upon finding recesses, offsets projections or other architectural articulation of exterior walls and a sloped roof modulates the visual mass of the top of the building and avoids the appearance of a box-like structure. (b) Buildings that are more than 100 feet in length shall include a minimum 2-foot vertical variation in height for at least 50 feet. (3) Building entrances.
(a) Principal building entries shall front upon the primary street or be visible from the sidewalk with a minimum six-foot wide walkway to the entry.
This standard does not apply to townhouse development and residential development with interior courtyards where entries are from the courtyard.
(b) Building entries shall be accented with features such as moldings, lighting, overhangs, canopies, or awnings.
(c) Where pedestrian paths or walkways cross parking areas or driveways, the paths shall incorporate landscaping and decorative paving to define the pedestrian space.
(4) Required ground floor transparency for non-residential uses. Exterior walls for nonresidential ground-floor uses facing and within 20 feet of a front or street side property line shall include windows, doors, or other openings for at least 60 percent of the building wall area between 2 feet and 8 feet above the sidewalk. No streetfacing wall shall run in a horizontal plane more than 25 feet without an opening. (a) Openings fulfilling this requirement shall have transparent glazing and provide views into display areas, sales areas, work area, lobbies or other active spaces, and window displays shall be at least 3 feet in depth.
(b) Parking garages are not required to meet these transparency requirements provided a minimum 10-foot wide landscape area is provided between the parking garage and a public street. (5) Open space standards for residential and mixed-use projects. The open space requirements of the R-H High Density Residential Zone for usable open space shall apply to all proposed residential development and to residential units in mixed-use development in the CRMU zones with the following modifications:
(a) The minimum amount of usable open space (private or common open space) is 250 square feet per unit of which at least 60 square feet (36 square feet for upper-level units in a mixed-use project) shall be private open space serving at least 50 percent of the individual dwelling units.
On West Main St. and on lots with less than 15,000 sq.ft., only 100 square feet of usable open space is required, which may be private or common open space.
(b) In projects that are on arterial streets (excluding West Main Street) that do not abut existing single-family development, common open space may be provided on rooftops in areas having minimum horizontal dimensions of 10 feet.
(c) Landscaped areas that are less than 10 feet in width and contiguous with and an integral part of the common open space or are connected to the common open space may be counted in determining compliance with the open space standards of this section, provided they are at least five feet in width.
(d) The minimum amount of required common open space may be reduced by 20 percent if a site abuts or is within one-quarter mile walking distance of a public park or playing field open to the public. (e) In all projects (except senior housing) proposing 20 or more residential units, 900 square feet of children’s play area is required, except where there is a public park within a quarter-mile walking distance of the principal entry to the project.
(6) Parking.
(a) Parking areas are prohibited between the building and primary street edge. On-site surface parking shall be on the sides of buildings or in the rear half of the site or as tuck-under parking within a residential structure. Exceptions may be approved for guest parking, for surface parking along four-lane arterial streets, and for free-standing parking structures and carports and surface parking areas with shared parking for residential and commercial uses.
(b) Along arterial streets and secondary frontages, surface parking shall have a five-foot wide landscaped perimeter with a minimum three-foot high wall, fence, buffer planting, or a landscaped berm adjoining the sidewalk. Building siting and parking design shall maximize opportunities for shared parking, access entries, and driveways in order to minimize the number of curb cuts and thus limit possible conflict between pedestrians and automobiles.
(c) Whenever possible, vehicle access shall be provided from side streets and alleys to limit the number of driveways along arterial streets. (7) Landscaping.
(a) Street trees shall be included along all street frontages with residential development. Trees must be approved by the City prior to installation. (b) Where pedestrian paths or walkways cross parking areas or driveways, the paths shall incorporate landscaping and decorative paving to define the pedestrian space.
9-3-604 Reductions to the Required Number of Parking Spaces. An applicant may request, and the Development Services Director may grant a reduction in the amount of required parking for individual uses, including existing uses, when one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) Multiple uses may share use of parking facilities when operations for the respective uses are not normally conducted during the same hours, or when hours of peak use differ. Requests for the use of shared parking must meet the following conditions:
(a) A parking demand study has been prepared pursuant to paragraph (2) below which demonstrates that there will be no substantial conflicts
between the subject uses with regard to principal hours of operation and periods of peak parking demand, and that the total number of parking spaces required for the subject uses does not exceed the number of parking spaces reasonably anticipated to be available at periods of maximum use.
(b) The proposed shared parking facility is not located further than 500 feet from the uses which it serves.
(c) A written agreement by users of the shared parking facility shall be executed with accompanying covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements as deemed necessary by the Development Services Director to assure that the required parking spaces and access are provided for the life of the uses and other similar future uses. A document shall be recorded to assure shared maintenance of the parking facility.
(2) The number of parking spaces otherwise required for individual uses may be reduced if it can be demonstrated through a parking demand study prepared by a California-licensed traffic engineer and based on the most recent edition of Parking Generation, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers or other equivalent information, that the use will not utilize all of the required number of spaces during peak periods due to the nature of the specific use, or the manner in which the specific use is conducted. Peak period parking demand shall be calculated by estimating the parking demand for all of the uses on the site for each hour in a 24-hour period and then totaling the hourly demand for all uses for each hour. The greatest resulting hourly demand shall be the required number of spaces for the site, which may be less than the number otherwise required for each individual use. 9-3-605 Review Procedures.
(1) Preliminary review. An applicant for a housing development (100 percent residential or mixed-use) may submit an application for preliminary review for feedback prior to the submittal of any formal requests for approval. The purpose of the preliminary review is to determine whether the proposed development is in substantial compliance with applicable zoning regulations and objective development standards and to establish the basis and procedures for granting a zoning clearance or an administrative approval. The following information is required to be submitted for preliminary review:
(a) Calculations showing the proposed density and any additional units requested under the State Density Bonus Program;
(b) Number and percentage of total units that are proposed to meet affordability criteria and the income level to which the units will be restricted if density bonus units are requested; and
(c) A description of any proposed waivers or reductions of development standards or other zoning requirements, consistent with the provisions of Cal. Gov’t Code Section 65915 (k).
(2) Design review required. All residential development and mixed-use development with residential units in a CRMU zone are subject to ministerial design review by the
Director or, at the Director’s discretion, the Planning Commission to determine compliance with the objective design standards for the CRMU zones and any other applicable objective subdivision or zoning standards. This review shall be objective and strictly focused on the project’s compliance with the objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards applicable to the project.
(3) Additional findings required for design approval. The Director or the Planning Commission shall grant design approval if it is determined the project complies with the objective design standards and, if density bonus units are requested, the following additional findings must be made:
(a) The proposed development meets the affordability criteria of additional units if any are requested under the State’s Density Bonus Program; and (b) The increased density would not have a specific adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5 of the Cal.
Gov’t Code, upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real property listed in the California Register of Historic Resources.
(4) Conditions of approval. In granting a design approval, the Director or the Planning Commission has the authority as provided in State law to impose reasonable and objective conditions necessary to ensure compliance with objective standards that are broadly applicable to development in the City, as deemed necessary and appropriate to ensure that the provisions of the General Plan and this Title are met, including requirements for needed off-site public improvements. The Director or the Planning Commission may require reasonable guarantees and evidence that such conditions are being, or will be, met.
9-3-606 Provisions for Streamlined Ministerial Review.

(5) Application Requirements; Review and Approval.
(a) An applicant may file a notice of intent to submit an application in the form of a Preliminary Application that includes all of the information required by California Government Code Section 65941.1 as that section read on January 1, 2020. Complete Building Permit applications for the project may be submitted concurrently with the Preliminary Application. Planning staff shall provide templates for Preliminary Applications to applicants on request and shall be available on the City’s website. The Preliminary Application shall be accompanied by the required fee as established by the City. (b) Within 180 calendar days after filing a Preliminary Application, an applicant shall submit a Formal Application for Ministerial Review, provided scoping consultation has concluded consistent with Subsection (3), below. Failure to submit a Formal Application terminates the review process for the Preliminary Application.
(6) Scoping Consultation for projects requesting SB 35/SB 423 review. (a) Upon receipt of a Preliminary Application for SB 35/SB423 review, the City shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission for assistance in identifying any California Native American tribe that should be notified. The Development Services Director shall provide a formal notice of the applicant's intent to submit a formal application to each required California Native American tribe within 30 days of preliminary application submittal. The formal notice shall be consistent with California Government Code Section 65913.4(b).
(b) If within 30 days of receipt of the formal notice, any California Native
American tribe that was formally noticed accepts the invitation to engage in scoping consultation, the Development Services Director shall commence scoping consultation within 30 days of receiving that response.
(c) The scoping consultation shall be conducted consistent with California Government Code Section 65913.4(b). If, after scoping consultation is concluded, a development is not eligible for a streamlined ministerial approval, the Director shall provide written documentation as required by California Government Code Section 65913.4(b) to the applicant and any California Native American tribe that is a party to that scoping consultation.
(d) Tribal consultation concludes either 1) upon documentation of an enforceable agreement regarding the treatment of tribal resources at the project site or 2) one or more parties to the consultation, acting in good faith and after a reasonable effort, conclude that a mutual agreement cannot be achieved.
(7) If the development remains eligible to apply for streamlined ministerial approval under SB 35 after scoping consultation has concluded, an applicant may file a Formal Application for SB 35 review. Only the items necessary to determine compliance with the provisions contained in California Government Code Section 65913.4(a) and with any applicable objective standards shall be required. (8) The review of a Formal Application shall be done by the Development Services Director to determine if the application is complete and complies with all of the provisions contained in this section, California Government Code Section 65913.4(a), and applicable objective standards and shall occur within the following timeframes:
(a) Within 90 calendar days of Formal Application submittal for applications that includes 150 or fewer housing units.
(b) Within 180 calendar days of Formal Application submittal for applications that includes 151 or more housing units.
(9) If the Formal Application is not complete and does not demonstrate compliance with all of the provisions contained in California Government Code Section 65913.4(a) and all applicable objective standards, the Development Services Director shall provide the applicant with written documentation of which standards the development conflicts with and an explanation of the reasons the development conflicts with each standard. If the application can be brought into compliance with minor changes to the proposal (e.g., changes in building dimensions that are less than 10 percent), the Development Services Director may allow the development proponent to correct any deficiencies within the timeframes for determining project consistency specified in (8) above. For major changes (e.g., changes in building dimensions or required setbacks that are more than 10 percent), a new application will be required.
(10) The Development Services Director is the review authority for ministerial approvals for qualifying housing developments. The Director of Development Services shall
approve a Formal Application upon finding that all of the requirements of California Government Code Section 65913.4 and this section have been met. The Development Services Director may impose reasonable conditions of approval, provided those conditions of approval are objective and broadly applicable to development within the City.
(11) The Development Services Director also may submit a qualifying affordable housing development project application to the Planning Commission or to the City Council for ministerial review to confirm compliance with the objective design and development standards that apply to the project at the proposed location.1 (a) The Planning Commission or the City Council, at a noticed public meeting, shall undertake ministerial design review and public oversight as provided for in California Government Code
Sections 65913.4, 65912.114, 65912.124, and other applicable State requirements for streamlined ministerial review. Planning Commission or City Council review shall include review of the Director’s determination, above. Furthermore, the Planning Commission’s/City Council’s review under this process shall be objective and strictly focused on the project’s compliance with the City’s objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards applicable to the project, which were adopted prior to the submittal of the application submittal to the City and are applicable to other developments within the City.
(b) The Planning Commission’s/City Council’s review and final determination on whether an application complies with the City’s objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards applicable to the project shall be completed in 90 days for projects with 150 or fewer units and 180 days for projects with more than 150 units, measured from the date of the application submittal.
(c) The Planning Commission’s/City Council’s ministerial review and public oversight process shall not in any way inhibit, chill or preclude the ministerial approval of the project if it is in compliance with criteria specified in Government Code Sections 65913.4 and 65912.100 and consistent with the City’s objective zoning standards, objective subdivision standards, and objective design review standards applicable to the project.
1 Authority for this review is provided by California Government Code §65913.4(d), which states; “(d) (1) Any design review of the development may be conducted by the local government’s planning commission or any equivalent board or commission responsible for design review. That design review shall be objective and be strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects, as well as any reasonable objective design standards published and adopted by ordinance or resolution by a local jurisdiction before submission of a development application and shall be broadly applicable to development within the jurisdiction. That design review shall be completed, and if the development is consistent with all objective standards, the local government shall approve the development as follows and shall not in any way inhibit, chill, or preclude the ministerial approval provided by this section or its effect, as applicable….”
(12) Any necessary subsequent permits shall be issued on a ministerial basis subject to applicable objective standards. If a public improvement is necessary to implement a development subject to this section, and that public improvement is located on land owned by the City, the City shall process any approvals needed as required by California Government Code Section 65913.4(h).
9-3-608 Post-Approval Modifications.
(1) An applicant or the Development Services Director may request a modification to an approved development if that request is made prior to the issuance of the final building permit.
(2) The City shall only apply objective standards in effect when the original application was submitted, except that objective standards adopted after the date of original submittal may be applied in any of the following instances:
(a) The total number of residential units or total square footage of construction changes by 15 percent or more; or
(b) The total number of residential units or total square footage of construction changes by five percent or more, and it is necessary to subject the development to an objective standard beyond those in effect when the application was submitted in order to mitigate or avoid a specific adverse impact upon public health of safety, for which there is no feasible alternative method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid; or (c) Objective building standards contained in the California Building Code, as adopted by the City, may be applied to all modifications. (3) The Development Services Director shall determine if the modification is consistent with applicable objective standards and issue a decision on the applicant's modification request within 60 days after submittal.
(4) An application approved consistent with this section shall remain valid for three years; however, an application approval shall not expire if the development includes public investment in housing affordability, beyond tax credits, where 50 percent of the units are affordable to households making at or below 80 percent of the area median income consistent with California Government Code Section 65913.4(e). (5) At the discretion of the Director, a one-year extension may be granted consistent with California Government Code Section 65913.4(e).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TURLOCK
AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF TURLOCK, ATTACHED TO TITLE 9 OF THE TURLOCK MUNICIPAL CODE [REZONE 2026-01]
WHEREAS, one of the principal components of the Housing Element is the inventory of sites available for housing; and
WHEREAS, under current zoning, the City can accommodate a total of 4,506 new homes, which represents about 78 percent of Turlock's assessed share of the regional housing need for the period. This means there is a gap of 1,296 units, including 886 for lower income households and 557 for moderate income households; and WHEREAS, the Draft Housing Element proposes creation of a new CommercialResidential Mixed Use (CRMU) base zoning district to bridge the gap and ensure the City's zoning map has adequate capacity to meet Turlock's assessed share of the regional housing need; and
WHEREAS, fifty-three vacant and underutilized commercial parcels along four key corridors in the City: Golden State Boulevard, Geer Road, West Main Street and South Lander Avenue are proposed to be rezoned to CRMU. The designation will give property owners the option to develop multifamily housing on their sites if they wish while allowing them to continue to operate or develop commercial uses consistent with existing zoning; and
WHEREAS, following the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2026-29, recommending that the City Council adopt Rezone 2026-01, rezoning various properties within the City limits and; WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the staff report, all public comments, and the proposed Citywide Rezone 2026-01 as set forth in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Council found and determined as follows:
1. That the proposed rezoning is consistent with the General Plan.
2. That the proposed site is suitable for the type of potential development.
3. That the site is suitable for the intensity of the proposed use.
4. That the proposed rezoning will not cause substantial environmental damage.
5. That the public necessity, convenience and general welfare require the proposed amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Turlock as follows:
SECTION 1. RECITALS: The recitals and findings set forth above are true and correct
and incorporated herein by reference
SECTION 2. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed project is “Exempt” from the provisions of CEQA in accordance with Section 21080.085 of the Public Resources Code which establishes a statutory exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for rezoning undertaken to implement the schedule of actions in a housing element that has been “approved” by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
SECTION 3. CHANGE TO ZONING MAP. The Zoning Map of the City of Turlock is hereby amended to rezone multiple parcels as identified in Exhibit A.

Prepared by: Anthony Sims, Economic Development Manager Agendized by: John J. Murphy, DPA, ICMA-CM, City Manager
1. ACTION RECOMMENDED:
Accepting the Economic Development Strategic Implementation Plan (2026 – 2029)
2. NARRATIVE:
The attached draft Economic Development Strategic Plan Implementation Plan (2026–2029) establishes a phased roadmap for executing the City’s recently adopted Economic Development Strategic Plan, which was accepted and adopted by the Turlock City Council on March 10, 2026. The Strategic Plan, prepared by Kosmont Companies, identified key focus areas and economic development opportunities intended to strengthen Turlock’s longterm economic competitiveness, business climate, workforce opportunities, and quality of life. At the March 10, 2026 City Council meeting, City Council directed staff to bring back an Implementation Plan to go with the Economic Development Strategic Plan.
The Implementation Plan organizes the adopted strategic recommendations into a structured three-year framework consisting of phased priorities, action items, timelines, lead departments, and performance metrics. The phased approach is intended to allow the City to strategically sequence initiatives while maintaining flexibility to respond to changing economic conditions and development opportunities.
• Phase 1 Foundation and Business Engagement: focuses on foundational economic development initiatives, including launching a Business Expansion, Attraction and Retention (BEAR) program, implementing business incentive strategies, advancing the Westside Industrial Specific Plan (WISP), developing Opportunity Zone marketing tools, and establishing key performance indicators and reporting systems. • Phase 2 Investment and Development Activation: emphasizes investment attraction and destination development efforts, including downtown placemaking initiatives, sports and tourism facility exploration, and evaluating financing and value-capture tools to support future infrastructure and economic development projects. • Phase 3 Long-Term Growth and Destination Development: focuses on long-term growth strategies, including workforce housing support and continued engagement with the development community to position housing as an economic development tool that supports workforce attraction and business recruitment efforts.
Agenda Staff Report
8/25/2026
The Implementation Plan also establishes measurable performance metrics related to business activity, investment, industrial recruitment, workforce trends, tourism, and overall business climate indicators. Staff intends to provide periodic updates to the City Council regarding implementation progress, performance metrics, and economic development activities.
Overall, the Implementation Plan is intended to provide organizational direction, accountability, and measurable implementation strategies that support business attraction, retention, investment, job creation, and long-term economic growth throughout the City of Turlock.
3. FISCAL IMPACT / BUDGET AMENDMENT:
Acceptance of the Economic Development Strategic Plan Implementation Plan (2026–2029) does not require additional funding and has no fiscal impact at this time. Future initiatives identified within the plan that require funding will be brought forward to the City Council for consideration through the annual budget process or separate Council action.
4. 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.
5. ALTERNATIVES:
1. The City Council may decide to modify or re-order the proposed phased implementation approach identified within the draft Economic Development Strategic Plan Implementation Plan (2026–2029).
2. The City Council may decide not to accept the draft Economic Development Strategic Plan Implementation Plan (2026–2029) and direct staff to conduct additional analysis, revisions, or modifications to the proposed plan.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Kosmont & Associates (“Kosmont”) was retained by the City of Turlock (“City”) for advisory services in connection with an Economic Development Strategic Plan (“EDSP”). Kosmont is pleased to present our findings in this Executive Summary of the full PowerPoint EDSP.
Kosmont believes that Economic Development is an important function for the City (and most cities) and requires a dedicated City government position / staff and resources . Real estate development/entitlement process in California is time consuming and expensive for the private sector, and anything to enhance transparency and communication between the City staff and the development community can benefit the City.
The City’s economic prosperity is underpinned by several compelling factors:
• Cal State University, Stanislaus is a 100-acre campus with approximately 10,000 students and over 700 full time faculty.
• Turlock Westside Industrial Specific Plan (WISP) 2,600 acres planned for industrial development with over 8 million SF built.
• Monte Vista Crossings is a +1 million SF regional shopping center. • Commitment to workforce training evident in collaboration with Opportunity Stanislaus. • Downtown is about 100 years old, retains many historic buildings and is a regional tourist draw with restaurants, retail and office.
In the past few years, the City has made substantial progress in addressing 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 researched opportunities for major indoor sports facility • New planned automated permitting process
DEMOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW
Younger consumers, with their increased use of media, seek gathering places with restaurants, entertainment venues and experiential retail, rather than a collection of traditional store fronts.
Another important group is the creative class of professionals (artists, designers, musicians, and programmers) who are an important force in economic development. This dynamic workforce is attracted to communities with clustered centers, which provide a sense of vitality, diversity, convenience and balanced mix of work, entertainment, services, arts and culture. Telework dynamics have drastically changed work patterns over the past few years and are poised to reshape office needs.

• Turlock has a population of ~73,100 (24,500 households). • Average Household Size is 2.9 persons, lower than County/State, and the Median Age is 36 years, younger than County and State median of 38 years old. • City Average Household Income is $103,900, approx. 2% lower than County and 25% lower than statewide levels. Turlock residents generate $647 million in annual retail spending potential across major retail categories.
• Per ESRI and Census data, Turlock businesses employ ~29,000 people with a resident workforce of ~8,300 people.
MARKET OVERVIEW
To help understand the City’s ability to capture a fair share of regional growth, Kosmont researched economic growth for Turlock’s and competitor cities of Modesto and Merced.
Retail
• City retail space at 5.9 million SF, comprises 21% of the overall retail market in Stanislaus County. Since 2017, City retail space grew by 334,000 SF, much faster than the retail markets of Manteca, Merced, and Modesto. Roughly 56% of the growth in the retail development in Stanislaus County has been in Turlock. • Market asking rents in the region have grown by 23% to 27% across the comparison cities, with Turlock reaching $22.12 PSF/yr., the highest in the County. • During the 15-year period from 2008 to 2023, Turlock’s retail vacancy peaked at 7.7% in 2011 and has since steadily declined. Retail vacancies in Turlock in Q3 2024 were lowest in the region at 2.2%.
Office
• Office growth came from Modesto (78,000 SF). Turlock grew by just 4,000 SF. • Market rents in Turlock increased by 25%, similar to the comparison cities. • The region has a sub-5% vacancy rate with office vacancies in Turlock at 3.2%, slightly higher than in 2017
Multi-Family
• Despite need for more housing, new construction from 2017 to Q3 2024 added 660 units in the County, but was limited to 36 new units in Turlock (~1% growth). • Over the 15-years from 2008 to 2023, the County saw 1,700 new units constructed compared to 327 in Turlock.
• Multifamily residential vacancies in the region were below 4%, with Turlock seeing the lowest vacancies at 2.5%.
• Average rents across the region showed solid growth of 40% to 50% since 2017.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
• Monte Vista Crossing is major regional retail draw – 3rd largest power center in CA with dozens of strong retailers (Costco, Target, Wal-Mart, Auto Mall). • Regularly draws hundreds of thousands of shoppers from up to 20 miles away (640,000 population in trade area).
• Low electricity rates from Turlock Irrigation District

• City is home to a major agricultural economy.
• Entrepreneurial spirit with many startup companies.
• Significant outdoor amenities, recreational venues.
• Opportunity Stanislaus / Volt Institute.
Weaknesses/Threats
• Due to age of buildings in downtown, there are ADA and other building code issues making reuse difficult.
• Development fees may have slowed new industrial and MF development. • Need to improve business permit processes.
Opportunities
• Downtown Turlock is a regional draw with shops, dining, and entertainment. • Strong regional demand for single family housing.

1. Business Enhancement, Attraction & Retention (“BEAR”)
2. Housing Element for Economic Development (HEEDTM), new housing generates demand for commercial service and retail, significant new tax revenues in excess of $1,000 per household, and it supports local jobs.
3. Establish Business Incentive Program for targeted retail / commercial / industrial
4. WISP Infrastructure Investment
5. Utilize Value Capture zoning strategies
6. Expand sports facilities
7. Downtown placemaking
8. Federal Opportunity Zones
9. Gather Performance Metrics to measure annual progress

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
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 6
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. Since then, there has been strong retail development throughout the City, but modest single-family and multi-family construction. 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 3rd 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 (2,611 acres), which has seen significant growth in recent years with new ~1 million SF Amazon warehouse and DIVERT biorecycling facility.

STANISLAUS COUNTY CEDS
In 2022, Stanislaus County adopted a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (“CEDS”) that outlined regionalchallenges 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
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 10
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS
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 • City utilized a portion of the revenue to adopt a major Roads Program Capital Improvement Program (CIP) • 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• Stanislaus Regional Water Authority has completed the Regional Surface Water Supply Project to expand sources of fresh water from Tuolumne River for the City of Turlock and Ceres.

ECONOMIC TRENDS
Economic forces are reshaping local economies across the State:
¾ 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”. ¾ 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. ¾ 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.

Economic Development
• New housing can generate tax
revenues and support local jobs from resident spending
• Variety of housing types is essential
to attracting new businesses and developing diverse productive workforce • Kosmont’s statewide experience
found that housing usually has a positive fiscal impact, especially at current property values • U.S. retail over-built and needs
“right sizing;” Covid accelerated trends; today its about essentials, experience & e-commerce • Blended/mixed use projects
integrate multiple uses (housing, retail, open space, creative office, hotel) • Telework and work from home
options are reshaping the needs for office space and business districts • New multi-family projects with coworking spaces and amenities will help attract young professionals with computer skills
• Retail can’t thrive without
distribution; Booming demand for e-commerce, particularly smaller last-mile delivery facilities • Flex space (a blend of industrial,
office, research and development space) is a growing market. Cities can attract high tech / skill firms. • Industrial supports development of
new agricultural products

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 /industrial4. WISP5. Utilize Value Capture 6. Expand Sports Facilities7. Downtown Placemaking8. Federal Opportunity Zones9. Gather Performance Metrics to measure annual progressFollowing the strategy discussion is a Roadmap – Implementation Priorities 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 withdiverse 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 asDivert (converting 100,000 tons of food waste into energy and nutrients), Sensient (global company creating colors, flavors andfragrances 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 fosterentrepreneurship, 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 withthe City’s economic development goals. Regularly contact the top 25 Sales Tax generators / EmployerAction Item 3: Pursue Healthcare providers (new and expansion).
Action Item 4: Create customized development agreements/incentive packages to facilitate major tenants.

BUSINESS EXPANSION, ATTRACTION AND RETENTION
Action Item 5: 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 6: Standard plan check review process with a set number of days for initial submission and subsequent submittals.Action Item 7: Consider incubator/accelerator programs for maker spaces that can help small businesses thrive.
Action Item 8: Online permitting system will improve business attraction and expansion.
Action Item 9: Consider adding business concierge or ombudsman to ED or Planning Dept to assist new business or development applications.Action Item 10: Attend ICSC and other conferences to meet with major retailers / restaurants / hotels / developers / brokers.

HOUSING AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (HOUSING ELEMENT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HEEDTM )
Source: Kosmont Companies
New housing generates demand for commercial service and retail uses, significant new tax revenues, and supports wide range of local jobs. Morgan Ranch Master Plan is opportunity for new housing development.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 (total City share of the 1% property tax is approx. 17.5% including VLF In Lieu). CFD Services Tax provides additional ~$600 per unit on new housing.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
The City has adopted a policy which exempts existing buildings undergoing change of use from paying CFF Fees, where there is no increase in the total square footage for the use which original fees were paid and if the use has been operating for at least three years.Before considering any new 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 areasSee Section 5 – Regional Econ Dev Comparison for specific examples of incentives used by nearby cities Source: Kosmont Companies

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 promote WISP 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).
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 34
UTILIZE VALUE CAPTURE REAL ESTATE STRATEGIES Public and private sector real estate can be important assets to leverage for long-term economic development benefits. WhileTurlock has limited publicly owned land available for new development, there are many large private sector properties that canbe 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 expand allowable uses in storefront spaces and allowing small scale manufacturing, food makers, artisans,breweries, woodworkers). Support non-profits willing to develop collaborative spaces with 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, streetimprovements, 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.

FEDERAL OPPORTUNITY ZONES
In 2017, the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed by Congress, establishing an Opportunity Zone (“OZ”) program to encourage investment in low-income census tracts. In 2018, the CA Governor identified 879 qualified census tracts statewide to be eligible. There are two census tracts in Turlock with an estimated 837 acres of qualified area within City boundaries. 117 acres are in the WISP area and 11 acres are in Downtown. This program expires at end of 2026, but the new 2025 BBB Tax Law modified the program and extended the timeframe for OZ benefits indefinitely. Effective 1/1/27, OZ investors in a qualified OZ Fund can defer capital gains for 5 years on other asset sales (if invested in businesses or property in OZ area) and receive a 10% basis step-up. Profits from a future OZ asset sale will be capital gains tax free. Development of new commercial, industrial and multi-family apartments are the most prevalent OZ investments. It is important for City to identify priority sites suited for development as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the program. To attract special OZ investment funds, the area needs upfront backbone infrastructure and a simplified entitlement process to accelerate the construction timetable.

PERFORMANCE METRICS
In order to track economic development progress, it is important for the City to maintain annual business and development data analytics to keep on top of economic and market trends:
1. Commercial Building Permits in Key Areas – measure commercial developer interest2. Assessed Value of Commercial and Industrial Property – show increased private sector investment3. Number and Type of Business Licenses – measure new business formations4. Employment by Industry – show success in commercial and industrial business attraction and employment growth5. Sales Tax Revenues by Geographic District – measure success in attracting businesses and economic activity6. Hotel Tax Revenues – measure success in attracting more visitors7. Hotel Visitor Survey – identify types of visitors, short term vs longer term stays8. Annual Survey of Business Owners – identify issues regarding City permitting / zoning process and other programs

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
Source: Kosmont Companies
Most California cities charge development impact fees and special taxes to fund infrastructure and service costs associated with new development and may include the following categories:
• Water Supply • Wastewater Treatment/Recycling
• Stormwater / Drainage • Roads, Bridges and Traffic Signals• Parks• Other Public Facilities (Police / Fire / Library / Other)Fees vary significantly e.g. Residential fees that vary by density per acre / avg home size / population / geographic area Commercial and industrial fees vary by type (e.g., office, neighborhood retail, regional retail, restaurant, industrial warehouse, manufacturing, business park). Fees also vary as different geographic areas have different infrastructure needs (areas with new growth have greater needs)Alternative Financing Options for major infrastructure is often authorized by cities using Mello-Roos CFD bonds secured byspecial taxes or utility pledged facilities charges (PFC’s) to pay debt service for upfront investment needs.

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 arenot 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.
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 63
SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGFUNDAMENTALS OF EIFDSTax Increment Financing Tax increment from new development / assessed value increase used to fund infrastructure projects in approved project areas
Long-term Districts
Up to 45-year districts from first bond issuance; Districts provide long-term, committed revenues in targeted investment areas; Districts can be created in 12-18 months Non-Contiguous Areas
EIFD project areas do not have to be contiguous, allowing them to target specific sites / areas and making them compatible with other zoning / entitlement strategies Eligible Projects Any property with useful life of 15+ years and of communitywide significance; purchase, construction, expansion, improvement, seismic retrofit, rehabilitation, and maintenanceReturn on Investment Private sector investment induced by District commitment accelerates growth of net fiscal revenues, job creation, housing production, essential infrastructure improvements Attract Additional Funds
Allows community to attract tax increment from other entities (cities, special districts), federal / state grants & loans (TOD, water, housing, parks), brownfield funding

SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGOTHER 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.

CAPTURE VALUE WITH CITY PROPERTYREAL ESTATE & LEASING STRATEGIES Cities can use a variety of strategies to better utilize the value of their properties: Performance-based leases / ground leases Monetizing assets (such as parking garages) Selling property to private sector – includes leaseback strategies, continued operation of existing use, redevelopment into new uses
SELLER BEWARE –
Cities must follow Surplus Land Act (SLA)
requirements / procedures
Sources: Kosmont Companies, California Assembly Bill 1486 (2019)
KOSMONT COMPANIES | 72
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 itcomplies 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 adifferent 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 doesnot have to sell the property for less than fair market value. If rejected, property can besold 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 unitsavailable 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 andaffordable 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 ingood 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 CommunityDevelopment (HCD) and provide information that documentscompliance 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 theprocess or not.

To help cities understand the shopping patterns of residents and visitation patterns of regional families, Kosmont utilized Placer.ai, which is a mobility data provider that tracks daily movement of over 30 million people in the United States via anonymized mobile app data. This information reveals visitor and employee travel trends to/from major events, shopping centers, major retailers, and other points of interest – providing insights into store/center trade areas, hourly and daily visitation statistics, and consumer demographic characteristics. A sample of what Placer.ai can provide is described below:
Visitor, Resident, and Inbound Commuter Demographics and Visitation Trends Overnight Visitors Shopping Center Performance Trade Areas Traffic Counts / Travel Patterns The following slides provide trade area maps, favorite retail destinations, and 5-year illustration of daily visits to major City attractions that shows impact of Covid lockdown.

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 withdiverse 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 asDivert (converting 100,000 tons of food waste into energy and nutrients), Sensient (global company creating colors, flavors andfragrances 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 fosterentrepreneurship, 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 withthe City’s economic development goals. Regularly contact the top 25 Sales Tax generators / EmployerAction Item 3: Pursue Healthcare providers (new and expansion).
Action Item 4: Create customized development agreements/incentive packages to facilitate major tenants.

HOUSING AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (HOUSING ELEMENT FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT HEEDTM )
Source: Kosmont Companies
New housing generates demand for commercial service and retail uses, significant new tax revenues, and supports wide range of local jobs. Morgan Ranch Master Plan is opportunity for new housing development.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 (total City share of the 1% property tax is approx. 17.5% including VLF In Lieu). CFD Services Tax provides additional ~$600 per unit on new housing.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
The City has adopted a policy which exempts existing buildings undergoing change of use from paying CFF Fees, where there is no increase in the total square footage for the use which original fees were paid and if the use has been operating for at least three years.Before considering any new 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 areasSee Section 5 – Regional Econ Dev Comparison for specific examples of incentives used by nearby cities Source: Kosmont Companies
