PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: July 7, 2004 TO: NICK YOVINO, Director Planning & Development Department THROUGH: GILBERT J. HARD, Planning Manag Planning Division FROM: EUGENE GRINSTEAD, Planner II Planning Division SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2004-10, LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH BLACKSTONE AND EAST AUTO CENTER AVENUES. BACKGROUND Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-10, filed by Michael Carter, proposes to create four(4) commercial parcels for property located on the northeast corner of North Blackstone Avenue and East Auto Center Drive. The project site is designated in the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the Hoover Community Plan for heavy commercial land uses. Currently, the site is developed with commercial land uses and is designated C-6 (Heavy Commercial) zone district. Curb, gutter, and sidewalks are currently in place. The subject property is surrounded by parcels that are zoned for heavy commercial 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-6 zone district. Furthermore, Section 12.222.5-B of the FMC requires no minimum lot width but each lot shall have a minimum depth of one hundred fifty(150)feet. The tentative parcel map indicates that Parcels A, B, C, and D 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 seg.) 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 2004-10 (Categorical Exemption) was completed for this project and dated on July 7, 2004; and, filed with the Fresno City Clerk on July 7, 2004. NICK YOVINO July 7, 2004 Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-10 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 Hoover Area Community Plan because the existing C-6 zoning is consistent with the site heavy commercial 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. DIRECTOR DETERMINATION 1. Based upon the above analysis, the Development Director finds that Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-10 is consistent with the applicable plans and policies of the City of Fresno. 2. The Planning and Development Director hereby grants approval of Parcel Map No. 2004-10 dated April 30, 2004, subject to the conditions of approval dated July 7, 2004, and to become effective on July 7, 2004.

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.

Caltrans has the following comments: The proposal, in and of itself, 'is not expected to create significant impacts to the State Highway System. However, the City should be aware that continued development has the potential to create cumulatively significant impacts to both transportation and air quality. As cumulative impacts were not addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR, the City should consider a mechanism for evaluating these impacts. The City of Fresno's Public Works Department has notified Caltrans that they have received two complaints regarding a possible traffic problem at the State Route 41/Bullard Avenue interchange. The complaint claimed it took over 20 minutes to go through the three traffic signals going westbound on Bullard. The ramp signals belong to Caltrans. We adjusted the timing of the signals at the Bullard Avenue interchange about four weeks ago. However, the ramp signals are not coordinated with the City signals on either side. In addition, portions of Bullard appear to need widening. The City should consider coordination of these signals to improve operations on both the local street system and the State Highway. Further, consideration should be given to closing the access point of the unnamed street (extension of Auto Center Drive, a private road) to East Bullard. Auto Center Drive runs east-west, with access to Blackstone, then curves to the north and connects to East Bullard Avenue. The access point is very close to the southbound on-ramp to State Route 41 at Bullard. The proximity"of this access point exacerbates congestion during peak hours. "Caltrans improves mobility across California" Mr. Gene Grinstead May 20, 2004 Page 2 Caltrans also notes that there is new construction, a two story building complex, going up at the intersection that will create even more congestion. Caltrans has continually notified the City that ongoing development approved by the City is creating traffic problems that are not being mitigated via the City's environmental process. We request that this letter be made a part of the permanent public record for this project. When the project is brought before either the City Council or the Planning Commission, we request that a copy of our letter be included in the staff report(s). This will provide the decision-making body and the general public with a complete and accurate environmental evaluation for the project, including the environmental information provided by reviewing and commenting agencies. Please send a response to our comments prior to staff s recommendations to the Planning Commission and the City Council. If you have any other questions, please call me at (559) 445-6666.
