HARD, Planning Manager Planning Division FROM: PAUL BERNAL, Planner Planning Section —SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF VESTING TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2005-03, DATED MARCH 21, 2005, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EAST KEATS AVENUE BETWEEN NORTH ANGUS AND NORTH SHERMAN AVENUES BACKGROUND Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-03, dated March 21, 2005, filed by Sherry Montemagni,` on behalf of California Southern Baptist Convention, proposes to subdivide approximately 0.92 acres of an overall 3.48 acre site into six single family residential lots for property located on the south side of East Keats Avenue between North Angus and North Sherman Avenues. The property is designated for medium density residential planned land uses by the 2025 Fresno General Plan, the Roosevelt Community Plan and the Fresno Yosemite International Airport and Environs Plan and is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential District). Pursuant to Table 2 "Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Table" of the 2025 General Plan the R-1 zone district is consistent with the planned land use designation of medium density residential. In order to process Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-03 the applicant was required to submit a variance application. Variance Application No. V-05-010 was filed with.the Planning and Development Department requesting authorization to facilitate the parcel map by modifying the minimum parcel width requirement for a R-1 zoned interior parcel. Pursuant to Section 12- 211.5-B-1-a of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC), interior parcels are required to have a minimum parcel width of 60 feet. The variance application is requesting a reduction from 60 feet to 54 feet. Variance Application No. V-05-010 was approved by the Planning and Development Department on August 3, 2005, allowing for the reduction in parcel width. All comments and requirements from the appropriate agencies have been addressed in the conditions of approval dated June 13, 2005, for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-03. 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. 2005-03 and has determined. that the map is consistent with adopted policies as described below. .,,Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 1005-03 August 3, 2005 Page 2 REQUIRED FINDINGS The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. V-05-010/TPM No. 2005-03 considered potential environmental impacts associated with the variance application and parcel map. Environmental Assessment No. V-05-010/TPM No. 2005-03, resulting in a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Section 15323/lnfill Development) was filed on August 2, 2005 with the City Clerk. Staff determined that a Class 32 Categorical Exemption was appropriate given that the proposed project is located within the R-1 (Single Family Residential District) zone district, which is consistent with the general plan land use designation of medium density residential; the project occurs within the city limits and is less than five acres, the site is serviced by all 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 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 2025 General Plan, the Hoover Community Plan and the Fresno Yosemite International Airport and Environs Plan which designate the site for medium density residential planned land uses which is consistent with the existing R-1 (Single Family Residential District) 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 be 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. Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-03 August 3, 2005 .Page 3 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 Department Director finds that Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-03 dated March 21, 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. 2005-03 subject to the conditions of approval dated August 2, 2005, to become effective on August , 2005. ick P.

The California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resource Code Section 21000 et seq.) permits a public agency to determine whether a particular project is exempt from CEQA. A determination of a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Section 15332/ln-fill Development)from CEQA was made and Environmental Assessment No.V-05-010/TPM No.2005-03(Categorical Exemption) was completed for this project and dated on August 2,2005; and,filed with the Fresno City Clerk on the same day. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The applicant, Sherry Montemagni on_behalf of California Southern_Baptist Convention, has .filed . Variance Application No.V-05-010 for 0.92 acres of an overall 3.49--acre site located at the south side of East Keats Avenue between North Angus and North Sherman Avenues. The variance application was submitted after staff notified the applicant that the parcel map filed for the subject property could not be processed until a variance application had been submitted. Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No.2005-03 is a request to subdivide the 0.92-acre portion into six single-family residential parcels with one remainder. The six parcels,as proposed,do not meet the property development standards of the R-1 (Single Family Residential District)zone district. The parcel map proposes to create parcels six parcels,with a width of 54 feet. Pursuant to Section 12.211.5-B-1.a of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) all parcels within the R-1 zone district must have a minimum width of 60 feet. The variance application is requesting to reduce the minimum width requirement from 60 feet to 54 feet,a difference of six feet. However,the parcels,as proposed, will have a lot area of 6,750 square feet and a lot depth of 125 feet, all of which are greater than the minimum required in the'R-1 zone district. The 0.92 acre portion of the subject site is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential District)and is planned for medium density (4.99 - 10.37 dwelling units per acre) residential land uses by the 2025 Fresno General Plan,the Hoover Community Plan and the Fresno Yosemite International Airport and Environs Plan. If the variance application is approved, it will facilitate the approval of the parcel map allowing the 0.92-acre site to be subdivided into single-family residential parcels,allowing the development of six new single-family residences. The site is bordered to the north and west by single-family residences,to the south with a church and a parking lot to the east. Surrounding properties are zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential District), C-P (Administrative and Professional Office District) and P (Off-Street Parking District) and are planned for medium density residential except for the property to the south, which is planned for commercial office land uses. LAND USE PLANS AND POLICIES Hoover Community Plan The subject site is designated for medium density residential land uses by the Hoover Community Plan. Upon reviewing the policies contained in the Plan,which was last updated in November,2002,staff has determined that there are no policies that are applicable or are more restrictive than those contained in the2 025 Fresno General Plan: a Variance Application No. V-05-01 k August 2, 2005 Page 4 2025 Fresno General Plan The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates the subject site for medium density planned land uses and provides a number of policies to guide in the development of single-family development. Applicable policies are as follows: Policy C-9-k of the General Plan: Medium density residential land shall be developed to maximize efficient use and affordability of residential property through a wide range of densities. New residential projects within this land use category should not be permitted to be developed at a density less than the minimum shown in Table 2 in order to better achieve the goals of the city's Housing Element. Approving the variance application will allow the applicant to proceed with the subdivision of the parcel thus increasing the density for the.surrounding area. The 0.92-acre portion of land that is currently vacant could be better utilized by being subdivided into smaller parcels that in tum can be developed with single-family residences. Although the applicant is proposing a subdivision, with smaller lot widths as prescribed by the FMC,the parcels will meet and/or:exceed the minimum lot area and depth as required by the FMC. Policy C-16-a of the General Plan: The city shall review its planning principles, development regulations, and public service, transit and infrastructure policies and programs to incorporate `Transit Oriented Development"and`Traditional Neighborhood Development"approaches. The goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan encourage the revitalization of dense urban neighborhoods by identifying infill areas where there is an opportunity to develop housing with higher densities in an attempt to maximum efficient use of the land. By concentrating new development on vacant parcels located within the older, built-up communities it is anticipated the overall quality of the urban environment may be improved by encouraging a vibrant and livable community. Policy C-16-c of the General Plan: The city shall review and revise city codes to eliminate constraints on design flexibility for higher density projects constructed infill areas. Although the city is in the early stages of updating the FMC, it currently contains numerous constraints that limit development in areas that are considered infill. With the approval of this application, the city would help meet the goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan by providing new housing in an area that is served by a full range of services. yo Variance Application No. V-05-01w August 2, 2005 Page 5 VARIANCE FINDINGS FINDINGS PER FRESNO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 12-405-A-3 a. Because of special circumstances(other than monetary hardship)applicable to the property,including its size,shape, topography,location,or surroundings,the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges (not including the privilege of maintaining a nonconforming use or status)enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and in an identical zone district. Finding a: Given that the parcel is located within an older part of the city, some of which was developed prior to the adoption of contemporary planning regulations, several properties within the area do not comply with the minimum lot width requirements of the R-1 zone district. Furthermore, six properties within the immediate vicinity have been granted authorization to subdivide property that does not provide the minimum lot width of 60 feet as required by the R-1 zone district. Thus, because of its size, location and surrounding area, it is staff's contention that the granting of this variance will not constitute a special privilege, given that it has previously been granted "to others." - b. The grant of variance will not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in, the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is situated. Finding b: The approval of the variance application would not constitute a special privilege because there are other lots in the area that have been developed with the same proposed lot width. The approval of this variance will still require the property owner to comply with the setback requirements, parking, building height, and lot coverage of the.R-1 zone district. c. The grant of variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property or improvements in the area in which the property is located. Finding c: The granting of the variance application will not be detrimental to the public welfare because the reduction in lot width by six feet will still allow the lot to be developed and to otherwise comply with the same property development standards imposed on all surrounding properties. d. The grant of variance will not be in conflict with established general and specific plans and policies of the city. Finding d: The 2025 Fresno General Plan encourages development on bypassed parcels within areas designated as inner city and promotes the concept of increasing densities in areas designated for residential land use. The applicant is looking to subdivide the 0.92 acre portion into six single family residential lots which will provide new housing in an neighborhood that has not experienced new residential development. CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION The appropriateness .of the proposed project has been.examined with respect to its consistency with goals and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan, Hoover Community Plan, Fresno Yosemite International Airport and Environs Plan and Fresno Housing Element; its compatibility with surrounding existing or proposed uses; and, its avoidance of potentially significant adverse environmental impacts.
