We also wish to appeal a few conditions. In reviewing the Conditions of Approval, several agencies voiced concern over the project and the "additional" impact from it on the area. There is no plan for additional improvements or a change in current use once this project is completed. My clients' purpose of splitting their property is to simply be able to sell one of the two structures on their property to its current tenant. Because there will be no change from its current use, there will be no additional impact on the area. In addition, since there is no proposed additional development, there is no need for any engineering plans as identified. As mentioned above,this project was started so that the current tenant in one of the buildings owned by my client could purchase the area that they are currently already using. Our initial application was to cover the area shown on the Assessors Map APN 328-290-09, which was the eastern part of an original parcel from a parcel map created in the early 1970s. During the course of the application, it was discovered that the western part of that same parcel, was illegally rpnveyed (subdivided) by deed. In discussions with the city, it was decided that the easiest was to rectify this was by adding the existing parcel to the south (an iron salvage yard) to the proposal and include it with the illegally created western parcel. The conditions my client wishes to appeal affect the scrap iron parcel (proposed Parcel C)to the south as follows: 1.) The Specific Condition identified for fire service, requires that two access points for each parcel be in place, and a Cross Access Covenant between all three parcels be recorded before finalizing the Parcel Map. The two parcels covering the area my clients' have control over already has the r( required two access points. The salvage yard, however, only has one. In addition, there is a concrete block wall along the street frontage, with significant metal scrap stacked along the back side of this wall. For my clients to comply with this required condition, my client must first obtain permission from the existing owner of the scrap iron facility to create the second access point, a portion of the existing wall will need to be demolished to create the access point, a significant amount of scrap metal will need to be permanently moved to provide the fire department access and the access point itself must be built at a significant cost. This condition will be difficult, if not impossible to comply with. The owners of the salvage yard, have no "true" interest in the proposed parcel map, other than making a portion of their land conform to state law (their operation is not affected either way by this). By requiring this as a condition, it places the owners of the salvage yard in a position where they have complete control over whether or not this map is completed, both by allowing the creation of the second access, and also the expense of building the second access. This should not be the case, since this parcel was "added"to the original application as suggested by the city because of the illegal conveyance issue identified above. As far as the cross access issue, this also is a problem, since the salvage yard is a completely different business and is fully enclosed with scrap metal piles everywhere that would inhibit access. This requirement also puts the scrap metal facility in complete control over finalizing this map My client does not wish to be placed in a position where they do not have control over whether or not their map is completed. We wish to appeal the condition of adding the second access to the salvage yard and including them in the cross access covenant. 2.) In reviewing the conditions, the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD)has assessed a fee of$39,508 dollars that needs to be paid, before finalizing this map due to additional storm runoff from this project. As mentioned above, there are no additional improvements planned from this project and therefore no additional storm runoff will be generated. My client feels that this may be excessive for the proposed project (their area of interest covers only 47% of the entire area included in the project—the remainder being the scrap iron facility) and wishes to appeal this fee (the area covered by the scrap iron facility), or at least defer it until additional improvements are made to the land covered by this project. We look forward to your response. Sincerely, imothy R. Case, PLS, MS President x` California Licensed Land Surveyor No. 7507— Exp. 12/31/2007 Utah Registered Land Surveyor No. 5993514-2201 —Exp. 12/31/2006 CITY OF FRESNO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL MARCH 8, 2006 VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP No. 2004-14 West side of South Cherry Avenue between East North and the East Annadale Avenues NOTICE TO PROJECT APPLICANT All tentative maps are subject to the applicable provisions of the State Subdivision Map Act (SMA), Fresno Municipal Code (FMC), City policies, and City of Fresno Standard Specifications.

HARO, Planning M nag Planning Division ' FROM: PAUL BERNAL, Planner II� Planning Section SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2004-14, DATED DECEMBER 8, 2005, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF SOUTH CHERRY AVENUE BETWEEN EAST ANNADALE AND EAST NORTH AVENUES (APN: 328-290-09 & 19) BACKGROUND Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-14, dated December 8, 2005, filed by T.R. Case Land Surveying Inc., on behalf of Surburban Propane and Irwin H. and Yvette Greenberg proposes to subdivide approximately 24.1 acres into a three parcels for property located on the west side of South Cherry Avenue between East Annadale and East North Avenues. The property is zoned M-3 (Heavy Industrial District) and is within the jurisdiction of the North Avenue Industrial Triangle Specific Plan, South Fresno Industrial Revitalization Redevelopment Plan, Edison Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan. All four plans designate the subject site for heavy industrial planned land uses. Pursuant to Table 2 "Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Table" of the 2025 General Plan (and applied within all community plans) the M-3 zone district is consistent with the planned land use designation of the subject site. It should be noted that the site is developed with two businesses, Suburban Propane and a metal recycling plant. Site Plan Review Application No. S-89-152 which established Suburban Propane was approved by the Planning and Development Department Director on June 12, 1989. The metal recycling plant which was illegally established has since filed Conditional Use Permit Application No. C-03-079 which is currently in process with the Planning and Development Department. The parcel map has since been filed to allow the business which currently operate on the subject site to own their own parcel out right. All comments and requirements from the appropriate agencies have been addressed in the conditions of approval dated February 21, 2006, for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-14. Approval of a tentative parcel map is subject to the Planning and Development Department Director finding the map is consistent with the officially adopted plans and policies of the City of Fresno. Staff has reviewed the proposed design and improvement of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-14 and has determined that the map is consistent with adopted policies as described below. Planning and Development Department Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-14 March 14, 2006 Page 2 REQUIRED FINDINGS The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. TPM No. 2004-14 considered potential environmental impacts associated with the tentative parcel map. Environmental Assessment No. TPM No. 2004-14, resulting in a Class 15 Categorical Exemption (Section 15315/Minor Land Division), was filed on March 14, 2006 with the City Clerk. Staff determined that a Class 15 Categorical Exemption was appropriate given that the proposed project is located within the M-3 zone district, which is consistent with the general plan land use designation of general heavy commercial; the division consists of dividing land into four or fewer parcels; no variances or exceptions are required; all services and access to the proposed parcels to local standards are available; the division of land is not involved in a division of a larger parcel within the previous 2 years; and the parcels do not have an average slope greater than 20 percent. 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 improvements 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 Findings 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 North Avenue Industrial Triangle Specific Plan, South Fresno Industrial Revitalization Redevelopment Plan, Edison Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan which designate the site for heavy industrial planned land uses which is consistent with the M-3 zone district. 2. The site is physically suitable for the proposed development because of the flat terrain of the site and adequate access and drainage on and off the site. The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District will require that the drainage from the site is diverted to the future Master Plan Facilities. 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 pubic 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. Planning and Development Department Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-14 March 14,2006 Page 3 DIRECTOR DETERMINATION 1. Based upon the above analysis, the Planning and Development Department Director finds that Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-14 dated December 8, 2005, is consistent with the applicable plans and policies of the City of Fresno. 2. The Planning and Development Department Director hereby grants approval of Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-14 subject to the conditions of approval dated March 8, 2006, to become effective on March ILL, 2006.

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 of construction projects disturbing one or more acres, and discharges associated with industrial 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. Z State General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction O 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 Board (State Board), develop and implement a storm water pollution prevention plan, O 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, 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: hanufacturing; trucking; recycling; and waste and hazardous waste management. Specific exemptions exist for 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•014REV 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 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.

A Development Agreement shall be executed with the District to effect such credit. Reimbursement provisions, in accordance with the Drainage Fee Ordinance, will be included to the extent that Developer's Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the facilities cost for such individual area total less than the fee of said area,the difference shall be paid upon demand to the City or District. There is an existing easement within this project as shown on Exhibit No. 1, which must be shown on the final map. Verification of the location of the easement recorded July 31, 1979 as instrument No. 91257,Book 7344 Page 421 of Official Record is recommended as this will necessitate the District obtain a corrected easement location. No encroachments into the easement shall be permitted including but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees. 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 dJrected 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.
