SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL
MAP NO. 2004-02, LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WEST AMADOR
AVENUE BETWEEN SOUTH ARTHUR AND SOUTH THORNE AVENUES.
BACKGROUND
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-02, filed by Daniel Eliseian on January 14, 2004, and
accepted on January 27, 2004, proposes to subdivide a 0.36 acre parcel into two (2) single family
residential parcels. The parcel map site is located on the north side of West Amador Avenue
between South Arthur and South Thorne Avenues. Rezone Application No. R-04-05 was submitted
concurrently with the parcel map and was approved by the Fresno City Council on May 4, 2004.
Rezone Application No. R-04-05 rezoned the subject property from the R-1, Single Family
Residential, zone district to the R-2-A/cz, Low Density Multiple Family Residential District, One
Story/conditions of zoning, zone district. Approval of a tentative parcel map is subject to the Planning
and Development Department Director finding that the map is consistent with the officially adopted
plans and polices of the City of Fresno. The project site is designated in the 2025 Fresno General
Plan, Edison Community Plan, Southwest Fresno General Neighborhood Renewal Area Project Plan,
and Fresno-Chandler Downtown Airport Master and Environs Specific Plan for medium high density
residential land uses. Pursuant to Table 2 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, medium density
residential land use is consistent with the R-2-A zone district. The subject property has been
developed with one single family dwelling. Staff has reviewed the proposed design and improvement
of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-02 and has determined that the map is consistent with
adopted policies as described below.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) -The California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State EIR Guidelines, requires that a public agency
prepare an initial environmental study for each project. If a public agency finds that there is no
substantial evidence in the record that a project may have an significant effect on the environment, a
Finding of Conformity of the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR
10130) will be prepared.
A Finding of Conformity of the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report
(MEIR 10130) was made and Environmental Assessment No. TPM 2003-30 was completed for this
project and dated on February 23, 2004; and, filed with the Fresno.City Clerk on February 24, 2004.

STATE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT- The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section
66410 et. seq.) requires that a proposed parcel map not be approved unless the map, together with
its design and improvement, is found to be consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan (Finding No. 1 below). State law further provides that the proposed parcel map be
denied approval if any one of the Finding Nos. 2-5, below, is made in the negative.
1. The proposed parcel map, together with its design and improvements is consistent with the
City's 2025 General Plan, Edison Community Plan, Southwest Fresno General Neighborhood
Renewal Area Project Plan, and Fresno-Chandler Downtown Airport Master and Environs
Specific Plan which designate the site for medium high density residential land uses.
2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development because of
the flat terrain of the site and adequate access and drainage on and off the site.
3. The proposed parcel map design and improvements are not likely to cause substantial and
considerable damage to the natural environment, including fish, wildlife or their habitat,
because of the urbanized nature of the area in which the site is located.
4. The proposed parcel map design and improvements are not likely to cause serious public
health and safety problems, because the conditions of approval have shown and will insure
that the subdivision conforms with City health and safety standards.
5. The proposed parcel map design will not conflict with public easements within or through the
site because conditions of approval will assure noninterference with any existing or proposed
public easements.
Staff, based on its own analysis, has determined that the parcel map, subject to the recommended
conditions of approval, otherwise complies with the design and property development standards of
the Zoning Ordinance and local Parcel Map Ordinance and recommends the approval of the parcel
map.
DIRECTOR DETERMINATION
1. Based upon the above analysis, the Planning and Development Director finds that Vesting
Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-02 is consistent with the applicable plans and policies of the
City of Fresno.
2. The Planning and Development Director hereby grants approval of Vesting Tentative Parcel
Map No. 2004-02 dated January 27, 2004, subject to the conditions of approval dated May 7,
2004, and to become effective on May 0'7 , 2004.

The proposed development will generate storm runoff which produces potentially significant
environmental impacts and which must be properly discharged and mitigated pursuant to the z
California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The O
District in cooperation with the City and County has developed and adopted the Storm
Drainage and Flood Control Master Plan. Compliance with and implementation of this
Master Plan by this development project will satisfy the drainage related CEQA/NEPA impact
of the project mitigation requirements.
The proposed development shall pay drainage fees pursuant to the Drainage Fee Ordinance
prior to approval of the final map at the rates in effect at the time of such approval. The fee O
indicated above is based on the tentative map. Contact the FMFCD project engineer prior to
approval of the final map for the fee. O
Considerations which may affect the fee obligation(s) or the timing or form of fee payment:
a) Fees related to undeveloped or phased portions of the project may be deferrable. O
b) Fees may be calculated based on the actual percentage of runoff if different than that O
typical for the zone district under which the development is being undertaken and if
permanent provisions are made to assure that the site remains in that configuration.
c) Master Plan storm drainage facilities may be constructed, or required to be
constructed in lieu of paying fees.
d) The actual cost incurred in constructing Master Plan drainage system facilities is
credited against the drainage fee obligation.

The drainage system cost and fee schedule update is currently underway. The drainage system cost
and fee obligation indicated in this notice is the obligation which is valid at the date of this notice.
Contact the District for a final drainage fee obligation prior to issuance of a building or permit
recording of the final map.
The following paragraphs only apply towards development of the individual parcels and are not
conditions for the recording of the map.
In an effort to improve storm water runoff quality, outdoor storage areas shall be
constructed and maintained such that material which generates contaminants will not
be conveyed by runoff into the storm drain system.
The District encourages, but does not require that roof drains from non-residential
development be constructed such that they are directed onto and through a
landscaped grassy swale area to filter out pollutants from roof runoff.
Runoff from areas where industrial activities, product, or merchandise come into
contact with and may contaminate storm water must be directed through landscaped
areas or otherwise treated before discharging it off-site or into a storm drain. Roofs
covering such areas are recommended. Cleaning of such areas by sweeping instead
of washing is to be required unless such wash water can be directed to the sanitary
sewer system. Storm drains receiving untreated runoff from such areas that directly
connect to the District's system will not be permitted. Loading docks, depressed
areas, and areas servicing or fueling vehicles are specifically subject to these
requirements. The District's policy governing said industrial site NPDES program
requirements are attached.

FLOOD PLAIN POLICY
Primary Flood Plains
Because of the relatively high velocities and volumes of flood flow associated with primary flood
plains, and because the primary flood plain is responsible for passing the greatest percentage.of the
flood event,development located in such flood plains is subject to substantial risk,both to itself and
to others as a result of the potential for blockage and diversion of flood waters. In view of these
factors, the following policy statement is proposed:
Policy 1) All proposed development activity shall be the subject of a detailed
hydrological flood hazard investigation to determine the relationship of the
proposed development to the secondary flood plain and the primary flood
plain; and, further, to identify the estimated high water elevation of the 100-
year flood event.
2) All development and/or permanent improvement activity which, if located
within the primary floodway, may unduly impede, retard, or change the
direction of flow of water either,by itself, or by the catching or collecting of
other debris or is placed where the flow of water would carry such
obstruction downstream to the damage or detriment of either life or property,
should not be permitted.
Secondary Flood Plains
Because development within secondary flood plains is subject to inundation,but without the threat of
increased velocities of flood waters, and because the excessive development of the secondary flood
plain can result in increased water surface elevations through displacement of flood waters, the
following policy statement is suggested:
Policy 1) Development in secondary flood plains is generally acceptable when a
detailed hydrological flood hazard investigation report had been prepared
indicating that the area proposed for development is located within a
secondary as opposed to a primary flood plain.
2) The development must be properly flood proofed below the estimated high
water elevation of the 100-year flood event.
3) The development is accomplished is such a way as to prohibit the
displacement of any and all flood waters from that portion of the flood plain
to be developed.

C. The proposed development is encouraged to select and implement storm water quality
controls recommended in the Fresno-Clovis Storm Water Quality Management
Construction and Post-Construction Guidelines (available at the District Office) to
meet the requirements of the State General Permits, eliminate the potential for non-
storm water to enter the municipal storm drain system, and where possible minimize
contact with materials which may contaminate storm water runoff.
7. A requirement of the District may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the
Secretary of the District within ten days of the date of this Notice of Requirements.
8. The District reserves the right to modify, reduce or add to these requirements, or revise fees, as
necessary to accommodate changes made in the proposed development by the developer or
requirements made by other agencies.

Fresno, CA 93721-3604
Dear Mr. Bernal:
We have reviewed the tentative parcel map for the property located on the north side of
West Amador Avenue (State Route .1.80), between South Arthur and South Thorne
Avenues. Caltrans has the following comments:
Sidewalks in the State right-of-way shall be at least 5 feet wide and have a cross-slope of
2.0%.
Existing concrete sidewalk that is damaged or broken (cracked) may need to be
rehabilitated.
The highway drainage shall not be modified.
All existing or proposed driveways within the State right-of-way shall meet current State
driveway standards.
It is the Department's policy to minimize new access points to State Highways. In this
case, one connection to the State Highway is allowed for each legal parcel.
Site access improvements need to be approved by the Caltrans Office of Traffic Operations
before the developer submits an encroachment permit application for the work in the right-
of-way.
Driveways shall be.located a minimum of ten.,feet (10') from the property line, twenty feet
(20') from
an adjacent driveway, and fifty feet (50') from the nearest street corner in urban
areas.

An encroachment permit must be obtained for all proposed activities for placement of
encroachments within, under or over the State highway rights- of-way. Activity and work
planned in the State right-of-way shall be performed to State standards and specifications,
at no cost to the State. Engineering plans, calculations, specifications, and reports
(documents) shall be stamped and signed by a licensed Engineer or Architect.
Engineering documents for activity and work in the State right-of-way shall be submitted
using Metric Units. However, dual units may be used for activity and work in the right-of-
way costing $1,000,000 or less, or by an exception approved by the Director. The preferred
method of delineating dual units is by showing the English unit first then the Metric unit
next to it in parenthesis. The Permit Department and the Environmental Planning Branch
will review and approve the activity and work in the State right-of-way before an
encroachment permit is issued. Encroachment permits will be issued in accordance with
Streets and Highway Codes, Section 671.5, "Time Limitations."
Encroachment permits for property access are not a property right and do not transfer with
the property to the new owner. In this case, a new driveway encroachment permit is needed.
to change the ownership of any existing access from the State Highway. Encroachment
permits are also needed for any new access to the State Highway. If you- have any
questions on whether a permit will be needed, or require assistance in submitting an
application, please contact Mr. Kirk Anderson, Permit Engineer, at (559) 243-8644.
Please send a copy of the staff report(s) to Caltrans prior to any scheduled hearings for.this
item. If you have any questions, please call me at (559) 445-6666.
