Article 5 — Public And Semipublic District (P-S)

In addition to the general purposes listed in Chapter 9-1 TMC (General Provisions), the specific purposes of the public and semipublic district regulations are to:

• (a) Allow consideration of a large public or semipublic use separately from regulations for an underlying base zoning district that may or may not be appropriate in combination with the public or semipublic use;

• (b) Allow consideration of establishment or expansion of a large public or semipublic use at rezoning hearings rather than at conditional use permit hearings only, and to give public notice of the extent of a site approved for a large public or semipublic use by delineating it on the zoning map; and

• (c) Allow the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the most appropriate use of a site following discontinuance of a large public or semipublic use without the encumbrance of a base zoning district that may or may not provide appropriate regulations for reuse of the site.

• (1207-CS, Rep&ReEn, 05/28/2015)

In the following schedule, the letter "P" designates use classifications permitted in P-S districts, 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 five thousand (5,000) 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. 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 industrial 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.
