Turlock Council and Planning Commission to Discuss Growth Direction Changes

A Special Joint Meeting of the Turlock City Council and Planning Commission will take place on March 29, 2011, at 6pm, to discuss possibly changing the General Plan Update growth directions as approved on August 23, 2010, when Council directed staff to continue planning land use for the Southeast Master Plan and Northwest Master Plan areas.

 
The Turlock Planning Commission and members of the public who have attended growth workshops and spoke in public overwhelming have expressed desires not to grow northwest, building residential units on the west side of the freeway.
 
The majority of the Turlock City Council continued to include the northwest area of Turlock as a planned option for residential growth.
 
At a Special Joint Meeting of the Turlock City Council and Planning Commission on March 1, 2011, a majority of Council Members and Planning Commissioners seemed to agree that only looking at the southeast and infill properties for residential development was the way to go.
 
The cost to change the General Plan Update direction was unknown at the meeting and the Council and Planning Commission did not discuss the issue any further as it was not agendized.

The cost to change the General Plan Update study has now been identified to be about $40,000.

 
At the March 29, 2011 Special Meeting, Turlock Council and Planning Commission members will discuss a potential change in the “Preferred Land Use Plan” as well as the range of alternatives to be evaluated in the Turlock General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report.
 
The public is encouraged to attend this meeting. Public comment will be taken on these issues before the Council and Commission take their respective actions.

 

If you have any questions or would like to submit comments, please feel free to contact the Turlock Planning Division at (209) 668-5640.

  • paul on In what different materials do women’s activewear comes? "You may get a variety of fabrics for the best activewear for women online, including cotton, spandex, synthetic, bamboo fiber, and Gore-Tex. Each of these materials has distinctive properties that set them apart. Since polyester is incredibly light and comfortable to wear, we advise you to utilize it. Athletic clothing frequently uses polyester as a fabric. Shirts for activewear, sweatpants and jogging jackets usually contain polyester blends. Polyester often dries quickly, making it the perfect fabric for intense workouts."
  • PaulWatkins on How does a real estate agency work? "Hi Dans Andrew, I'm glad you have made the right decision because a real estate agency is a promising career. Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."
  • dans on Where can we find the best kratom capsules? "Hi, sir, I don't know which state you live in because many states in the U.S. have prohibited the sale of the best kratom capsules, but you can still find them online. Many online pharmaceutical stores provide the best kratom capsules at affordable prices. You can look for such online stores on Google or even social media. The store will deliver the best kratom capsule to your home without charging the delivery charges."
  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
