HARD, Planning Manage Planning Division FROM: PAUL BERNAL, Plannerfff=> Planning Division ,, \\ SUBJECT: REQUIRED FINDINGS AND APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 2005-17, WHICH PROPOSES TO CREATE A TWO PARCEL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT PARCEL MAP FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF NORTH BLACKSTONE AVENUE BETWEEN EAST GETTYSBURG AND EAST SHAW AVENUES (APN: 427-081-15) BACKGROUND Dale G. Mell&Associates,on behalf of Knott Properties, has filed Tentative Parcel Map No.2005- 17,which proposes to create a two parcel, parcel map planned development for property located on east side of North Blackstone Avenue between East Gettysburg and East Shaw Avenues. The approximately 2.3 acre subject site is planned for general heavy commercial uses by the Hoover Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan and the site is zoned C-6 (Heavy Commercial District). Pursuant to Table 2(Planned Land Use and Zone District Consistency Matrix)of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and applied within all community plans,the C-6 zone district is consistent with the planned land use designation of general heavy commercial. Site Plan Review Application No. S-7208, which was approved by the Planning and Development Department Director on April 30, 1982, authorized the construction of two "shell' buildings. Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-17 is proposing to create a parcel that deviates from the property development standards of the C-6 zone district. The parcel as proposed by the parcel map does not abut a public street or right-of-way. Pursuant to Section 12-407.5 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) the Director may modify property development standards of the underlying zone district subject to the filing of a single unified project, which is covered entirely by a site plan review (S- 7208). Staff will require that the applicant revise Site Plan Review Application No. S-7208 depicting the property lines as proposed pursuant to Tentative Parcel Map No.2005-17. These conditions,as well other responding agencies conditions have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval dated January 18, 2006, for Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-17. REQUIRED FINDINGS The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No.TPM No.2005-17 considered potential environmental impacts associated with the tentative parcel map. Environmental Assessment No. TPM No. 2005-17, resulting in a Class 15 Categorical Exemption (Section 15315/Minor Land Division), was filed on January 30, 2006 with the City Clerk. Staff determined that a Class 15 Categorical Exemption was appropriate given that the proposed project is located within the C-6 Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-17 January 30,2006 Page 2 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 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 Hoover Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan.The Hoover Community Plan and the 2025 Fresno General Plan designate the site for general heavy commercial planned land uses which is consistent with the C-6 zone district as identified in Table 2 of the 2025 Fresno General Plan and applied within all community plans. 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 Master Plan Inlets. 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.The site is located in an area that is fully developed with industrial uses. The area does not and would not provide value for wildlife. 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. In addition, during the entitlement process, staff will ensure that all conditions will be applied accordingly. 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. x 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. Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-17 January 30, 2006 Page 3 DIRECTOR DETERMINATION 1. Based upon the above analysis,the Planning and Development Director finds that Tentative Parcel Map No. 2005-17 dated December 9, 2005, is consistent with the applicable plans and policies of the City of Fresno. 2.

Eq X Does not appear to be located within a flood prone area. 6. 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: manufacturing; 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. zoos-on 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.

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. f Development No. TPM 2005-017 engr\permit\exhibit2\city-tpm\2005\2005-017(mh) Street Name Review TPM-2005-17 12-14-05 Street Name Status Required Change East Santa Ana Ave. Chane East Santa Ana Avenue North Blackstone Ave Chane North Blackstone Avenue North Effie St Chane North Effie Street w A. 4 lYq .• \i - f ...j � ,�.'

Caltrans has the following comments: Based on the zoning and the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, Seventh Edition,this project will not generate sufficient trips to exceed the City's threshold of 100 peak-hour trips,triggering the need for a traffic study. However,continued development has the potential to create cumulatively significant impacts to both transportation and air quality. When combined with other development in the area,this project's impacts to the transportation/circulation system and to air quality will be cumulatively significant. Cumulative impacts to these resources were not fully addressed in the General Plan Update Master EIR,but postponed to future studies. The Master EIR did not perform any analysis of the impacts to State facilities from implementation of the General Plan, and hence cannot be relied upon to support subsequent projects that impact State Highways. 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 public 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 Commission. This will provide the decision-making body and the general public with a complete and accurate environmental evaluation for the project. If you have any questions,please call me at(559)445-6666.
