VAR 2024-02 (Undergrounding Utilities)

Minor Discretionary Permit 2021-01 (MDP 24-01) was approved by the City Council at the May 24, 2024 Council meeting. MDP 24-01 authorized the development of amenities for Oak Park Apartments on two parcels at 1620 N. Tully Road and 2099 Fulkerth Road, Stanislaus County APNs 088-030-004 and 088-030-005. Planning Condition #8 and Engineering Condition #19 in Council Resolution 2024-081 required the project to comply with Turlock Municipal Code Section 9-2-120 which required overhead utility lines be installed underground. TMC 9-2-120 allows applicants to request a waiver from the requirement and is contingent upon approval by the City Engineer. The applicant requested a waiver from the requirement to underground the existing overhead utility lines along the N. Tully Road and Fulkerth Road frontages because undergrounding the utility lines exceeds 25% of the overall cost of the project would require the applicant to bore under Fulkerth Road. The City Engineer denied the waiver request. The item going before the Planning Commission is the applicant’s appeal of the City Engineer’s denial of the waiver request. If the denial of the waiver is upheld the project will be required to install the existing overhead utility lines underground. If the waiver is approved, then the existing overhead utility lines and associated utility poles will remain overhead along N. Tully and Fulkerth Road frontages.
