PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: May 7, 2004 TO: NICK YOVINO, Director Planning and Development DepaVr . THROUGH: GILBERT J. HARO, Planning Ma Planning Division FROM: PAUL BERNAL, Planner II Planning Division 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. NICK YOVINO Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-02 Page 2 May 7, 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 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. 2004-002 5469 E.OLIVE - FRESNO,CA 93727 - (559)456-3292 - FAX(559)456-3194 Two sided document FRESNO METROPOLITAN FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS Page 3 of 4 6. The Federal Clean Water Act and the State General Permits for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction and Industrial Activities (State General Permits)require developers M4 of construction projects disturbing five or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial Ma activity not otherwise exempt from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, to implement controls to reduce pollutants,prohibit the discharge of waters other than storm water to the municipal storm drain system, and meet water quality standards. These requirements apply both to pollutants generated during construction, and to those which may be generated by operations at the development after construction. a. State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities, approved August 1999, (modified December 2002.) A State General Construction Permit is required for all clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground that result in soil disturbance of at least one acre (or less than one acre if part of a larger common plan of development or sale). Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Z Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees O in permit compliance, and complete an annual certification of compliance. 0 b. State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities, o April, 1997 (available at the District Office.) A State General Industrial Permit is required for specific types of industries described in the NPDES regulations or by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. The following categories of industries are generally required to secure an industrial permit: manufacturing; trucking; o recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for o manufacturing activities which occur entirely indoors. Permittees are required to: submit a Notice of Intent to be covered and must pay a permit fee to the State Water Resources Control Board, develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, eliminate non-storm water discharges, conduct routine site inspections, train employees in permit compliance, sample storm water runoff and test it for pollutant indicators, and annually submit a report to the State Board. 2004.002 5469 E.OLIVE - FRESNO,CA 93727 - (559)456-3292 - FAX(559)456-3194 Two sided document OTHER REQUIREMENTS EXHIBIT NO. 2 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. Development No. TPM 2004-002 engr\permit\exhibit2\city-tpm\2004\2004-002(rl) 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. engr\engrform\floodplain policy-form FRESNO METROPOLITAN FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS Page 4 of 4 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.

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. "Caltrans improves mobility across California" Mr. Paul Bernal February 23, 2004 Page 2 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.
