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

OTHER REQUIREMENTS
EXHIBIT NO. 2
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 arespecifically subject to these
requirements. The District's policy governing said industrial site NPDES program
requirements are attached.

SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL
MAP NO. 2004-04, LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF INGRAM AVENUE
BETWEEN WEST SPRUCE AND.WEST MINARETS AVENUES, AT 7245
NORTH INGRAM AVENUE.
BACKGROUND
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-04, filed by Randel Mathias, proposes to create two (2)
commercial/industrial parcels for property located on the west side of Ingram Avenue between West
Spruce and West Minarets Avenues, at 7245 North Ingram Avenue. The project site is designated
in the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Woodward Park Community Plan for light industrial land
uses. Currently the site is vacant and designated C-M (Commercial and Light Manufacturing) zone
district. Curb, gutter, and sidewalks are currently in place. The subject property is surrounded by
parcels that are zoned for commercial/light industrial and medium density residential land uses.
Lot area and dimensions
Section 12-224.5-A of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) requires no minimum lot area for new lots
created in a C-M zone district. Furthermore, Section 12.211.5-B of the FMC states that the width of
each parcel shall be a minimum of seventy-five (75) feet and each lot shall have a minimum depth of
one hundred twenty(120) feet. The tentative parcel map indicates that Parcels A and B comply with
the FMC's Property Development Standards for lot width, and depth.
Approval of a tentative parcel map is subject to the Development Director finding that the map is
consistent with the adopted plans and policies of the City of Fresno.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) -The California Environmental Quality Act (Public
Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) permits a public agency to determine whether a particular
project is exempt from CEQA.
A determination of a Class 15 Categorical Exemption (Section 15315/Minor Land Divisions) from
CEQA was made and Environmental Assessment No. TPM 2004-04 (Categorical Exemption) was
completed for this project and dated on May 24, 2004; and, filed with the Fresno City Clerk on
May 24, 2004.

Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-04 Page 2
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 Numbers 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 and the Bullard Area Community Plan because the existing C-M
zoning-is consistent with the site light industrial land use designation.
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.
