Summary
A Turlock film permit requiring a street closure needs a separate encroachment permit and 24 hours' written notice to residents and businesses within 500 feet.
If the applicant requests a street closure as part of a film permit, it shall apply for an encroachment permit to be reviewed by the City Manager or his or her designated representative. As a condition of any encroachment permit the applicant shall give at least twenty-four (24) hours' written notice of the proposed street closure to all residents and business owners within five hundred (500') feet radius of the street or streets to be closed.

Full Breakdown
Under Turlock's film permit ordinance, requesting a street closure isn't automatic: the applicant must separately apply for an encroachment permit, reviewed by the City Manager or a designated representative. As a condition of that encroachment permit, the applicant must give at least 24 hours' written notice of the proposed closure to every resident and business owner within a 500-foot radius of the street or streets being closed. This sits alongside the broader film permit process run by the film permit coordinator under Chapter 10-4.
Violations & Fines
Closing a street without the required encroachment permit, or without giving the 24-hour, 500-foot notice, is a permit condition violation and can lead to denial, suspension, or revocation of the film permit under § 10-4-15.
