SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL
MAP NO. 2004-23, WHICH PROPOSES TO CREATE FIVE PARCELS FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF NORTH
MARIPOSA STREET AND WEST HERNDON AVENUE (FRONTAGE ROAD)
BACKGROUND
Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-23, dated January 14, 2005, proposes to create five
parcels for approximately 3.6 acres of property located on the northeast comer of North Mariposa
Street and West Herndon Avenue (Frontage Road). The 2025 Fresno General Plan and the
Woodward Park Community Plan designate the parcel for office commercial planned land uses
and is zoned C-P/EA/UGM (Administrative and Professional Office/Expressway Area
Overlay/Urban Growth Management). According to Table 2 (Planned Land Use and Zone
District Consistency Matrix) of the 2025 Fresno General Plan the existing C-P/EA/UGM zone
district is consistent with the office commercial planned land use designation. The property
owner, Meridian Property Company,also filed Site Plan Review Application No.S-04-092 for the
3.6 acre project site. The site plan review application, which was approved on May 20, 2004,
authorized the construction of four-office buildings totaling 83,080 square feet. It is worth noting
that the subject parcel map proposes to create parcels that due not abut a public street thus, it is
considered a unified office complex.
Pursuant to Section 12-407.5 of the Fresno Municipal Code, the Planning and Development
Department Director may approve a unified project, which may include modifications to the
property development standards. Given that the proposed parcels lack access to a public street,
the applicant will be required to submit a revised site plan to (Site Plan Review Application No.
S-04-092)for review and approval. The revised site plan must reflect the proposed property lines
as depicted on Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-23.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No.TPM 2004-23 considered potential
environmental impacts associated with the tentative parcel map. Environmental Assessment No.
TPM 2004-23, resulting in a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Section 15323/Infill Development)
was filed on March 4, 2005 with the City Clerk. Staff determined that a Class 32 Categorical
Exemption was appropriate given that the proposed project is located within the C-P/EA/UGM
zone district,which is consistent with the general plan land use designation of office commercial;
the project occurs within the city limits and on less than five acres, the site is serviced by all
Tentative Parcel Map No. 2004-23
February 24, 2005
Page 2
utilities, the approval of the project would not result in any significant effects on traffic, noise, air
pollution or water quality and the site has no value for endangered, rare or threatened species.
Staff has determined that no adverse environmental impacts would occur as a result of the
proposed project and is, therefore, exempt from the provisions of CEQA under the Class 32
Category.
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 and the Woodward Park Community Plan which designate
the site for office commercial 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.
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.

Mr. Paul Bernal

Fresno, CA 93721
Dear Mr. Bernal:
We have completed our review of the proposed map for the property located on the east side of
North Mariposa Street between East Herndon and East Fir Avenues. Caltrans has the following
comments:
The project application contains insufficient information to evaluate the project's impacts to the
State Highway System. Caltrans requests the opportunity to review any specific development
proposals at the time they become available.
It is Caltrans' understanding that the 2025 General Plan MEIR requires projects that will produce
100 or more peak-hour trips (as this project will)to evaluate the project's contribution to
increased peak-hour vehicle delay at major street intersections adjacent or proximate to the project
site(Mitigation Measure B-4). Will the City require a traffic study for this proposal? Caltrans
recommends that the applicant conduct a Traffic Impact Study(TIS) in order to assess the project-
related impacts to the State Highway System and the pro-rata fair share towards area-wide
circulation improvements. As per the City's policy(Mitigation Measure B-4),please have the
preparer of the traffic study reference the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact
Studies, dated December 2002, and send the scope of the TIS to Caltrans before the traffic study is
conducted. Caltrans Guide, while advisory, contains Best Practices and gives insight into
Caltrans' expectations when reviewing a traffic study. If the traffic consultant has any issues or
concerns regarding the use of the Guide or its interpretation,please contact us so resolution can be
reached. Caltrans is available to discuss the scope of the traffic study at the City's convenience.
With additional development, cumulatively significant impacts to both transportation and air
quality are likely. As cumulative impacts to these resources were not addressed in the General
Plan Update Master EIR, the City should consider a mechanism for evaluating and mitigating for
these impacts.
We request that this letter be made a part of the permanent record for this project and that a copy
of our letter be included in the staff reports for both the City Council and the Planning
