The zone district amendment(rezoning application)proposes to change the zoning of the property from the AE-20/UGM zone district to the R-1/UGM zone district. On August 31,1993,the City Council approved the subdivision map for an initial two years subject to the conditions noted in the Council Resolution No.93-291. On August 31,1993,the City Council also adopted Ordinance Bill No.93-58 approving the related zone district amendment to become effective for any portion of the property encompassed by Vesting Tentative Tract No.4598 for which a final map or maps is recorded and expressly waived Section 12-404-K of the Fresno Municipal Code. The approval of a subdivision map shall expire not later than two years from the date it was approved. On September 13,1993,the Governor of California signed into law Senate Bill No.428,an act to add Section 66452.11 to the Government Code which extended by 24 months the expiration date of any approved tentative subdivision map which had not expired;this extended the tentative map to April 28, 1997. On May 14,1996,the Governor of California sign into law Assembly Bill No.771,an act to add Section 66452.13 to the Government Code which extended by 12 months the expiration date of any approved tentative subdivision map which had not expired;this extended Tentative Tract No.4561 to August 31,1998. The normal extensions,however,may be approved or approved with conditions in addition to the above extension for the time and in the manner provided by Section 12-1005.1 of the Fresno Municipal Code relating to the extension of approval of tentative maps(two years maximum). Extension of the time for the filing of a final map of Vesting Tentative Tract No.4598 will also extend the related zone district amendment. On February 18,1998,the Fresno City Planning Commission approved an extension of time for the filing of a final map of Vesting Tentative Tract No.4598 to August 31,2000. The City Attorney,however,has determined that a request for an additional two years(seven years with the Governor's extension)may be permitted. This determination is based on a state appellate court decision which determined that a local ordinance cannot restrict the maximum duration of an extension of a tentative map to any period less than five years allowed under Section 66452.6(e)of the Subdivision Map Act(amended for 1997). Extension of the time for the filing of a final map of Vesting Tentative Tract No.4598 also extends the related zone district amendment. F REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION Extension of Time for Vesting Tentative Tract No.4598 Page 2 September 6,2000 The approved map will expire on August 31,2000. Section 66452(e)of the Subdivision Map Act, however,provides that prior to the expiration of an approved or conditionally-approved tentative map, upon application by the subdivider to extend that map,the map is automatically extended 60 days or until the application for the extension is approved,conditionally approved,or denied,whichever occurs first.

SOLIS,Director d Development Department DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR OJ BY: DAVID P.HERB,Manager CTTYMANAGER k Development Services SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PLAN AMENDMENT NO. A-93-11 ROOSEVELT COMMUNITY PLAN Applicant: City of Fresno, Development Department Location: Butler Avenue between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues Hamilton Avenue between Fowler and Temperance Avenues Proposed Plan Desi ation: (1)Delete Butler Avenue as a collector between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues (2)Add Hamilton Avenue as a collector between Fowler and Temperance Avenues Bordering Planned Land Use Designation: North: Medium-Low Density Residential,Low Density Residential South: Medium-Low Density Residential,Public Facility Fast: Agricultural West: Medium Density Residential,Low Density Residential, Golf Course Planning Commission Action: On July 7, 1993,the Planning commission conducted a noticed public hearing to consider this project. Two property owners spoke in opposition to the classification of Hamilton Avenue as a collector street in this vicinity. Mr.Bob Kaprelian,who owns 20 acres fronting on South Temperance, indicated that while he is not objecting to the location of a collector street, he is objecting to the fact that the entire ninety-four(94)foot width apparently will be located on his property. He asked that the location of Hamilton Avenue be fixed so that only half of the street (forty-seven feet)is on his property. Due to the lack of an adopted plan,a tentative tract map y J REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL A-93-11 Page 2 August 11, 1993 (TT 4598)which is now in process proposes that all of the right-0f--way be on Mr.Kaprelian's property. After considering all evidence and testimony,the Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of Plan Amendment No.A-93-11. On July 21,the Planning Commissionheardtestimony regarding Tentative Tract No.TT 4598. In response to Mr.Kaprielian's concerns, staff recommended a condition for the tentative tract which would require the developer to dedicate and improve any portion of the proposed Hamilton Avenue collector street located north of the southerly property line of TT 4598,if this plan amendment is approved by the Council. In other words,the developer would indeed dedicate and improve half of Hamilton Avenue,if the plan amendment is approved. This appears to be acceptable to Mr.Kaprelian. Discussion at the Commission hearing centered around the adequacy of the existing and proposed street system that would be serving the proposed subdivision and other future development. The Commission approved the tentative tract by a vote of 7-0,after expressing concerns and seeking to ensure that these streets are fully developed so that the area streets can adequately handle any volume of traffic generated by the proposed subdivisions in the F. vicinity. Environmental Finding: Staff analysis resulted in the filing of a Negative Declaration. Airoort Land Use Commission Action: Not applicable. BACKGROUND After Development Department review of several subdivision maps(see Exhibit B)in the vicinity of Hamilton and Armstrong Avenues,it became apparent that the existing planned classification of streets is not designed to best serve development of planned urban densities. Therefore,on April 15, 1993,the Development Department initiated the subject plan amendment to amend the Roosevelt Community Plan and the Circulation Element of the 1984 Fresno General Plan to(1)delete Butler Avenue as a collector between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues,and(2)add Hamilton Avenue as a collector between Fowler and Temperance Avenues,as depicted on the attached map(Exhibit A).

This plan amendment application includes properties located in both the City and the County and is, therefore, subject to MOU Section 4.1,which requires the City and County to mutually agree on plan amendments which propose more intensive land uses. On June 22, 1993,the Board of Supervisors discussed this amendment. A property owner appeared and stated his concerns about the intersection of Fowler and Hamilton Avenues and the possible effect on his nearby home. The Board subsequently decided to hold this over for one week to get more neighborhood input. On June 29,after receiving input from the Sunnyside Homeowners'Association in favor of this proposal,and other citizens,the Board voted 5-0 to remain neutral on the item, which allows the plan amendment to move forward. ANALYSIS Surrounding planned land uses in the area and existing land uses in the western vicinity consist of low and medium-low density residential uses with densities of up to 4.98 units per acre. Existing land uses in the vicinity are agricultural uses with scattered single-family homes and some vacant land. Collector streets are generally four-lane,undivided streets and provide service for internal traffic movement within an area and connect local traffic to the arterial street system. Access to abutting property is generally permitted. Collector streets operate with 400-600 vehicles per hour per lane at ideal capacity service levels. Urban Services: Various governmental offices that provide urban services were asked to comment on possible environmental impacts in their area of expertise. The City's Water, Sewer,Parks,Police, and Fire Departments were all consulted, and no significant impacts were identified. The City's Traffic Engineering Section strongly supports this plan amendment to increase the efficiency of the existing circulation system in the area. Butler Avenue would be reduced to a local street, matching its classification to the west as it passes through developed low density residential area. While an east-west collector street is necessary in the vicinity, present land development patterns indicate it should not be Butler Avenue. The designation of Hamilton Avenue as the east-west collector street is preferable since it will serve the existing proposed and planned residential development by providing a connection between North Fowler and North Temperance Avenues. This reclassification of streets is viewed as an improvement over the existing configuration which has no Fowler Avenue access. n REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL A-93-11 Page 4 August 11, 1993 SUMMARY The classification of Hamilton Avenue as an east-west collector between North Fowler and North Temperance Avenues will improve circulation in the area due to its location approximately midway between East Kings Canyon Road and Fust Church Avenue. Ibis will provide a more central location to existing and proposed residential tracts and access to North Fowler Avenue as well as to North Armstrong Avenue. THE ISSUE The issue before the Council is whether to approve the plan amendment to(1)delete Butler Avenue as a collector between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues,and(2)add Hamilton Avenue as a collector between Fowler and Temperance Avenues. CONCLUSIONS AND RECO1 MM4DATIONS Staff recommends the Council take the following actions: 1. Approve the Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No.A-93-11. 2.

This completed checklist reflects comments of any applicable responsible agencies and research and analysis conducted to examine the interrelationship between the proposed project and the physical environment. The information contained in the Environmental Assessment Application, the checklist, and any attachments to the checklist, combine to form a record indicating that an initial environmental study has been completed in compliance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the California Environmental Quality Act. Any rating of e2v an the checklist indicates that a specific adverse environmental effects has been identified in a category which is of sufficient magnitude to be of concern. Such an effect may be inherent in the nature and magnitude of the project or may be related to the design and characteristics of the individual project. Effects rated in this manner are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and/or have been mitigated to the extent feasible. All new development activity and many non-physical projects contribute directly or indirectly toward a cumulative impact an the physical environment. The incremental effect contributed by this project toward such a cumulative effect is not considered substantial in itself. The proposed project is not expected to result in any significant adverse effects in terms of the factors considered on the environmental checklist, including any such factors for which minor effects have been identified. ..Cumulative effects of a significant nature are also not expected. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the "Mandatory Findings of Significance" contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The finding is therefore made that the proposed project as revised and subject to all conditions noted in the attached checklist, will clearly not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. This frtT+gsaad Negative Declaration will be deemed final and effective if no appeal is filed in the manner specified by Section 12-513 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

Surrounding planned land uses in the area and existing land uses in the western vicinity consist of low and medium-low density residential uses with densities up to 4.98 units per acre. Existing land uses in the vicinity are agricultural uses with scattered single family homes and some vacant land.

Access to abutting property is generally permitted. Collector streets operate with 400-600 vehicles per hour per lane at ideal capacity service levels. Staff has reviewed the proposal and consulted with all affected agencies. Approval of the project may contribute to the creation of certain moderate environmental effects or the project may be . adversely impacted by existing environmental situations as addressed below. 2.0--ATR QLZ& Ty The project is not expected to result in impacts on air quality. 3.0--WATER The Water Division of the Public Works Department states that the project will not have an adverse impact on the city water system. 7.07.0--NOTS p Operation of a collector street will produce a marginal increase in noise levels, however, this is not expected to result in a significant effect. The ambient noise levels are already negatively impacted by the location of the Temperance Avenue expressway and a nearby fruit packing operation. The proposed collector street is expected to generate a level .of traffic comparable to a local street with a similar level of noise. • Vide �I� INITIAL STUDY NO. A-93-11 Page 2 June 2, 1993 10.0--TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION Butler Avenue exists as a through street with a one-half mile portion (Armstrong to Temperance) classified as a collector. The classification of Hamilton Avenue as a collector between Fowler and Temperance Avenues would increase area street capacity (one mile instead of one-half mile) and improve circulation in the area due to its being located nearly mid-way between Kings Canyon Road and Church Avenue. Determination On the basis of this initial evaluation, it is determined that the proposed project is consistent with all applicable City plans and policies and conforms to all applicable zoning standards and requirements. It is further determined that the proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED. Prepared by David E.

This annexation included 288 acres of property extending between East Kings Canyon Road and the East California Avenue alignment and between South Armstrong and South Temperance Avenues. Consistency With City Plans and Policies Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598/UGM 519 would provide for a 195-lot single-family residential subdivision on 45.9 acres of land and one remainder parcel of approximately 21 acres located on the south side of East Butler Avenue between South Temperance and South Armstrong Avenues. The proposed density of the subdivision is 4.2 dwelling units per acre. Rezoning Application No. 93-10 proposes to rezone the subdivision site from the AE-20/UGM to the R-1/UGM zone district. - - The -The recently adopted Roosevelt Community Plan Update, a refinement of the 1984 Fresno General Plan, designates medium-low density residential (2.19 to 4.98 units per acre) land uses as appropriate for the property. The plan shows property to the north and south with this same land use. Property to the west is designated for low density residential (0 to 2.18 units per acre) and medium-low, density residential land uses, and the property to the east (remainder parcel) is designated for agricultural - open space. Surrounding land uses include single-family residential zoned R-1-B (County) and agricultural land, zoned AE-5/UGM to the west. To the north is single-family residential development, zoned R-1-B (County) and vacant land, zoned AE-20 with R-1 zoning pending. To the south and east (remainder parcel) is agricultural land, zoned AE-20/UGM. The two parcels which are surrounded by the subject property include an existing church, zoned AE-20/UGM. The proposed single-family residential subdivision, to be developed at a density of 4.2 units per acre under the R-1/UGM zone district, and subject to the provisions of Section 12-403-C-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code, is considered to be consistent with the medium-low density residential land use designation of the Roosevelt Community Plan. •. .t Staff Analysis R-93-10 Page 2 T-4598/UGM 519 July 21, 1993 Rezoning Application No 93-10 Rezoning Application No. 93-10 proposes to rezone the 45.9 acre subdivision site from the AE-20/UGM to the R-1/UGM zone district to permit the development of the 195 single-family residential lots. The R-1 district requires minimum lot sizes of 6,000 square feet for lots in the subdivision. All of the lots in the subdivision exceed this minimum lot size requirement. The proposed density yield of this single-family subdivision (4.2 units per acre) is within the expected density yield for a R-1 zoned project. Based upon the information contained in the staff report, the proposed rezoning of the property to the R-1 zone district can be considered consistent and compatible with the existing and planned land uses in the area and staff recommends its approval. Action by the planning Commission on the rezoning application is a recommendation to the City Council as all proposed zone district amendments require final action by the Council. Vesting Tentative Tract No 45 8/1 M 519 The tentative tract map proposes a single-family residential . subdivision consisting of 195-lots on approximately 45.9 acres of land (plus one 21 acre remainder parcel) located on the south side of East Butler Avenue between South Armstrong and South Temperance Avenues. The overall project development density is 4.2 units per acre. The proposed lot sizes of the subdivision map will range from 6,540 square feet to over 14,000 square feet per lot with most of the lots being between 6,500 to approximately 8,500 square feet in area. The subdivision design proposes public street access to all of the lots ,in the subdivision. The interior public streets will connect to South Armstrong and East Butler Avenues (collector streets). It is noted that the interior local streets, will be dedicated to the 56-foot standard width, which will provide for sidewalks with park strips in accordance with Roosevelt Plan Policy 2-3.5-b. rots Fronting Onto a Maio PP* -- The subdivision design proposes lots which will front-onto East Butler Avenue, which is currently designated as a collector street on the Roosevelt Community Plan. Section 2-2.8 of the Roosevelt Community Plan states that new singles-family residential lots shall not be allowed to front-onto. a major street unless no feasible alternative can be provided. Staff Analysis R-93-10 Page 3 T-4598/UGM 519 July 21, 1993 It is noted, however, that East Butler Avenue is designated as a collector street for only the one-half mile between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues. West of Armstrong Avenue, it is designated as a local street with lots fronting onto the street. Furthermore, since Butler Avenue will be developed with only a 60-foot width between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues instead of the normal 94-foot collector street width, staff can support the creation of lots which front-onto Butler Avenue even though it is currently designated as a collector street. In addition, the existing developments to the east and west of the subject property have lots which front onto Butler Avenue. By permitting lots to front onto Butler Avenue, within this subdivision, the subdivision will be consistent with the established pattern for development along Butler Avenue in this area. Therefore, based upon the reasons stated above, the project may propose lots which front-onto Butler Avenue. It is also noted that the lots fronting onto Butler Avenue will be required to have a 40-foot front yard building setback in order to allow sufficient area for a circular driveway on these lots. A circular driveway allows vehicles to access directly onto Butler Avenue, rather than having to back-onto this currently designated collector street. Hamilton Avenue Alignment --The Development Department initiated a plan amendment (Plan Amendment Application No. 93-11) to reclassify Butler Avenue between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues from a collector to a local street and at the same time reclassify Hamilton Avenue, between Fowler and Temperance Avenues, from a local to a collector street. The plan amendment was initiated prior to acceptance of the tentative map for processing by the City. This plan amendment, if approved by the City Council, would designate a collector street (Hamilton Avenue) on or adjacent to the southerly boundary of this tentative map. As a result, city staff will recommend a condition requiring the developer to dedicate and improve any portion of the Hamilton Avenue collector street which would be located to the north of the southerly property line of the subdivision. If the plan amendment is approved by the City Council in a manner that would result in the entire Hamilton Avenue right-of-way being placed on the property directly to the south of this subdivision, it is noted that one of the property owners of the property to the south does not feel that this situation would be equitable and that the northerly half of the Hamilton Avenue collector street should be developed on the subdivision site. This property owner has indicated to staff that he will address both the City Council and the Planning Commission regarding this matter. Staff Analysis R-93-10 Page 4 T-4598/UGM 519 July 21, 1993 Fire Service for Subdivigion -- The subdivision site will ultimately be served by the future City Fire Station No. 15 which will be located at South Clovis and East Butler Avenues. The nearest operational City fire station, City Fire Station No. 8, is located on South Cedar Avenue south of East Butler Avenue. City Fire Station No. 8, however, is located over 4.5 miles from this project site. The Fresno City Fire Department advises that under the mutual aide agreement between the City of Fresno and the County of Fresno, Mid-Valley fire Station No. 8, located on East Tulare Avenue west of Minnewawa Avenue, will provide interim fire protection service for this site. Mid-Valley Fire Station No. 8, however, is located over 3 miles from this project site. Section 12-4.508-E of the Fresno Municipal Code requires that for residential developments located between the 3 and 4 mile running distance from an existing and operating fire station, there shall be a 100-foot separation between buildings, or a 50-foot separation between buildings, where all roofing materials are noncombustible, and all facing surfaces between buildings are noncombustible. Alternatively, for residential developments located between the 3 and 5 mile running distance, the 100-foot and 50-foot separation requirement may be waived with the installation of automatic fire extinguishing systems, as approved by the Fire Chief, in all buildings within the project area. Staff has required as a condition to the approval of this tentative map, that the project be developed in accordance with Section 12-4.508-E of the Fresno Municipal Code as related to the provision for fire protection the site. Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598/UGM 519 is located within the City's Urban Growth Management (UGM) area. The required Cost/Revenue Analysis has been completed and it indicates that there will be $664,318 in revenues to the City, direct costs to the City of $358,457 and indirect costs of $107,864.during a five-year analysis period. The projected revenues from the project will exceed the expected direct and indirect operation and maintenance costs to the City and, thus, approval of the project will be in conformance with the City's UGM Cost/Revenue Policy. A Service Delivery Analysis was completed with respect to police, fire, water, sewer, park and street related services and the requirements of the necessary Service Delivery Plan are incorporated into the conditions of project approval. Staff Analysis R-93-10 Page 5 T-4598/UGM 519 July 21, 1993 The subdivision map, based pn the required findings for approval, and subject to the recommended conditions of approval, complies with applicable standards of the Zoning, Subdivision and Urban Growth Management Ordinances and staff recommends approval. Action by the Planning Commission on the tract map and the UGM Permit, unless appealed to the City Council, is final. DEB:cac LAND390/+6201 July 21, 1993 R-93-10 T-4598 REQUIRED FINDINGS California Environmental ouality Act - The California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State EIR Guidelines require that a public agency prepare an initial environmental study for each project. If a public agency finds that there is no substantial evidence in the record that a project may have a significant effect on the environment, a Negative Declaration will be prepared. Environmental Assessment No. T-4598, R-93-10 (attached) was completed for this project. The Environmental Assessment showed that there is no evidence in the record that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was filed on June 28, 1993. State subdivision Map Act - The Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code Section 66400 et. seq.) requires that a proposed subdivision 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 subdivision map be denied approval if any one of the Finding Nos. 2 - 5 below is made in the negative. In addition, State law requires that a subdivision be found to provide for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision development (Finding No. 6 below). 1. The proposed subdivision map, together with its design and improvements is consistent with the City's General Plan and any applicable specific plan, because the Roosevelt Community Plan designates the site for Medium-Low Density Residential land use, and subject to the provisions of Section 12-403-C-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code, the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development in this plan 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 subdivision 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. R-93-10, T-4598 Page 1 July 21, 1993 4. The proposed subdivision 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 subdivision 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. 6. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, for future passive and natural heating or cooling opportunities in the subdivision because of the appropriate use and placement of landscaping plant materials and because of the orientation of the proposed lots. The subdivision map, subject to the recommended conditions of approval, otherwise complies with the design and property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance.

A 20' storm drain easement will be required whenever stormdrain facilities are located on private property. There shall be no encroachment into the easement including but not limited to, foundations, roof overhangs, swimming pools, and trees. The District recommends a stub street to the west of APN #313-040- 42. This is necessary to provide surface drainage from APN #313- 040-42 to the Master Plan inlet to the west. If the stub street is not constructed, then the Developer of Tract 4598 will be responsible for the non-fee creditable cost of a pipe extension to the west property line of APN #313-040-42. A stub street to the east centrally located along McBelvy Ave. is recommended by the District to provide surface drainage for the 21.5± acre remainder parcel to the east. If the stub street is not constructed, the Developer of Tract 4598 will be responsible for the non-fee creditable cost of a pipe extension to the west property line of this remainder. Development No. Tract No. 4598 Z=IXT no, 1 The cost of construction of Master Plan facilities, excluding dedication of storm drainage easements, is eligible for credit against the drainage foe of the drainage area served by the facilities. 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 Master Plan costs for an individual drainage area exceed the fee of said area. Should the facilities cost for such individual area total lass then the fee of said area, the difference shall pe paid upon demand to the City or District. Pee credit for basin excavation is nrnft only when the excavation is ream ed by the District and the material is not utilised by the Developer.

On April 12 and June 28, 1993, the Committee discussed this project with applicant representative Jeff Roberts. The Roosevelt Committee is satisfied with the layout of the lots in this proposed tract map. We acknowledge that these lots will be sold for custom homes, and that the subdivider, therefore, does not have building footprints, elevations, or style concepts to present to us. Our concerns for the quality of subdivision development are included in items listed in the enclosed single-page standard CC&Rs. We recommend that CC&Rs be required for this subdivision, to include material on each of the items we have listed. All the Roosevelt Plan policies which pertain to single-family subdivisions are briefly described in the multi-page enclosure. Before the final tract map is filed, we recommend that this committee review and approve the design of the wall along Armstrong and the landscaping plans proposed for the landscape buffers along Armstrong Avenue (park strip and frontage road island) as well as any landscaping plan for the entry streets of this subdivision. The church-owned lot (with an "open field" notation) adjacent to Tract 4598 is not part of this subdivision application and is under separate ownership. That open field cannot provide the 5% on-site open space required for this subdivision (Roosevelt Plan policy no. 1-17.1). We learned only recently that the ponding basin that is within 1/4 mile of this project may not be available or suitable for an improved combined basin/recreation site, because Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District plans to fill it with recharge water in the summer. Mark Williamson, Development Manager ROOSEVELT COMMITTEE COMMENTS ON TRACT No. 4598 Page 2 June 30, 1993 Therefore, we recommend that this subdivision set aside land to provide 5% on-site open space for recreation. We suggest that a portion of the 20 acres east of the subdivided lots be set aside for this use--this 20 acres is already designated for open space, and the 20 acres is already part of the tract map (currently as a remainder). Other subdivisions in this area could add to and/or improve this recreational open space in lieu of setting aside 5% of their own project area. We understand that the proposed Butler Avenue re-designation (from collectpr to local street) has been initiated to accommodate this subdivision and the recently-approved tentative tract map on the north side of Butler Avenue. Regardless of whether this plan amendment is approved, we recommend that the half-circle driveways be kept on lots fronting Butler Avenue, as they are a quality feature and they will help keep vehicles from being parked on Butler. Our Committee is concerned that the Butler Avenue re-designation, and the designation of a new collector at the Hamilton Avenue alignment, not be detrimental to surrounding developed and undeveloped property. We want this subdivision to guarantee a substantial traffic barrier (the proposed landscaped frontage road island) to keep through-traffic off local streets west of this project. We are also concerned about the proposed right-of-way for the future Hamilton Avenue collector, and we would like Traffic Engineering to bring back to us some more detailed information on how that alignment would fit with the existing ponding basin, tract map application(s), and other parcels. L. Thank you for considering our recommendations. If our recommendations cannot be implemented, or if you or the project applicant would like to discuss these recommendations, our next scheduled meeting is Monday, June 12. Sincerely, Stephen Paul, Chair Roosevelt Implementation Committee Enclosures: List of standard suggested CC&Rs Lost of pertinent Roosevelt Plan policies ROOSEVELT COMMUNITY PLAN IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE CC&Rs FOR SINGLE-FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS The following items are to be included in Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) recorded for new single-family housing subdivisions in the Roosevelt Community Plan area.

This completed checklist reflects comments of any applicable responsible agencies and research and analysis conducted to examine the interrelationship between the proposed project and the physical environment. The information contained in the Environmental Assessment Applicat on, the checklist, and any attachments to the checklist, combine to form a record indicating that an initial environmental study has been completed in compliance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the California Environmental Quality Act. Any rating of "2" on the checklist indicates that a specific adverse environmental effects has been identified in a category which is of sufficient magnitude to be of concern. Such an effect may be inherent in the nature and magnitude of the project or may be related to the design and characteristics of the individual project. Effects rated in this manner are not sufficient in themselves to require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and/or have been mitigated to the extent feasible. All new development activity and many non—physical projects contribute directly or indirectly toward a cumulative impact on the physical environment. The incremental effect contributed by this project toward such a cumulative effect is not considered substantial in itself. The proposed project is not expected to result in any significant adverse effects in tern of the factors considered on the environmental checklist, including any such factors for which minor effects have been identified. Cumulative effects of a significant nature are also not expected. The proposed project will not result in any adverse effects which fall within the "Mandatory Findings of Significance" contained in Section 15065 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The finding is therefore made that the proposed project as revised and subject to all conditions noted in the attached checklist, will clearly not have a significant adverse effect on the environment. This Mitigated Negative Declaration will be deemed final and effective if no appeal is filed in the manner specified by Section IZ-513 of the Fresno Municipal Code.

INITIAL STUDY Environmental Assessment No. T-4598, R-93-10 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598/UGM 519 would provide for a 195-lot single-family residential subdivision on 45.9 acres of land and one remainder parcel of approximately 21 acres located on the south side of East Butler Avenue between South Temperance and South Armstrong Avenues. The proposed density of the subdivision is 4.2 dwelling units per acre. The tract map is located within the City's Urban Growth Management (UGM) Area and will be subject to the appropriate UGM Ordinances and Policies. Rezoning Application No. 93-10 proposes to rezone the subdivision site from the AE-20/UGM to the R-1/UGM zone district. ANALYSIS The recently adopted Roosevelt Community Plan Update, a refinement of the 1984 Fresno General Plan, designates medium-low density residential (2.19 to 4.98 units per acre) land uses as appropriate for the property. The plan shows property to the north and south with this same land use. Property to the west is designated for low density residential (0 to 2.18 units per acre) and medium-low density residential land uses, and the property to the east (remainder parcel) is designated for agricultural - open space. Surrounding land uses include single-family residential, zoned R-1-B (County) and agricultural land, zoned AE-5/UGM to the west. To the north is single-family residential development, zoned R-1-B (county) and vacant land, zoned AE-20 with R-1 zoning pending. To the south and east (remainder parcel) is agricultural land, zoned AE-20/UGM. The two parcels which are surrounded by the subject property includes an existing church, zoned AE-20/UGM. The proposed single-family residential subdivision, to be developed at a density of 4.2 units per acre under the R-1/UGM zone district, and subject to the provisions of Section 12-403-C-2 of the Fresno Municipal Code, is considered to be consistent with the medium-low density residential land use designation of the Roosevelt Community Plan. It is noted that the recently adopted update of the Roosevelt Community Plan was the subject of environmental review under Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 10113. This EIR was reviewed in public hearing by the City Council and the Council certified the EIR and adopted the community plan update on April 7, 1992. EIR No. 10113 requires specific "finding procedures" to verify the availability of adequate water and sewer service and street capacity for every development entitlement application located in the Roosevelt Plan area. The required finding procedures have been completed for the project by the Public Works, Public Utilities, and Fire Departments, and the specific findings are incorporated into this analysis and, where appropriate, are included in the conditions of approval for the tentative map. Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 2 It is also noted that EIR No. 10113 required the preparation of a monitoring checklist to ensure compliance with and implementation of plan policies adopted with the Roosevelt Community Plan Update. The completed monitoring checklist for this project is attached to this initial study. Staff has reviewed the above-referenced project proposal and determined that approval of the project may contribute to the creation of certain moderate environmental effects or the project may be:adversely impacted by existing environmental situations as addressed below. 2.1--Substantial Indirect Source of Pollution The proposed project will cumulatively contribute to the incremental decline in local air quality. However, the project's air quality impact in and of itself is not felt to be significant. The project site is located in Fresno County, a nonattainment area for ozone and particulate matter air pollution and within the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area, a nonattainment area for carbon monoxide air pollution. The San Joaquin valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJWAPCD) charged with monitoring and improving local air quality, has developed the 1982 Fresno Clean Air Plan, which continues to project.nonattainment for the three above-noted pollutants. That plan includes a number of strategies to improve air quality including a transportation control strategy and a vehicle inspection program. The City of Fresno, in addition to the measures proposed by the SJVUAPCD, is proposing additional measures to improve local air quality including the full implementation of Measure "C" funded transportation improvements, implementation of community planning procedures which are sensitive to air quality, computerization of all of the City's traffic signals and improvements to the City's mass transit system. However, even with the combined efforts of both the SJWAPCD and the City of Fresno, mandated State air quality standards may not be attained. 3-1--Tnntifficient Ground Water Available for Lona-term Proiect Use 3.4--Pollution O Surface or Ground Water Sunnli z The Public Utilities Department advises that there are an insufficient number of water wells to provide the volumes necessary to supply the subject site and surrounding area with potable water. This problem is also compounded by known DBCP and EDB chemical and other groundwater contamination to be contended with in this general area. Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 3 The City Council has directed that a plan for providing potable water to the southeast Fresno area be developed. The Council direction will require the investigation of measures to modify the existing City water system to improve water quantity and quality. The State of California has recently required the installation of water meters for all new construction in the City of Fresno. Other future measures may include the importation of water from other areas of the City and a series of recharge basins and wellhead treatment facilities to address groundwater pollution. It is noted that the Public Utilities Department has initiated water facilities fees to help defray the cost of the installation of wellhead treatment and groundwater recharge facilities for the southeast Fresno Area. The implementation of any or all of these measures should expand water supply, thereby allowing for the continuation of growth in the southeast Fresno area. In addition, this project is subject to the water service "finding procedure" to verify the availability of adequate water service as required by EIR No. 10113 for the Roosevelt Community Plan area. In accordance with the Roosevelt Community Plan Monitoring and Findings Procedures for water service, it has been determined that a sufficient supply of water is not presently available for development of this parcel if all other approved development is connected. A water demand analysis of the project indicates a total peak demand of 413 gpm (R-1/UGM zoning (195 d.u. x 2.12 gpm/d.u.) The computer analysis of the area including this additional demand indicates there would be insufficient volume, pressure, and fire flow available to meet minimum City Standards during periods of peak flow for all approved demand when connected to the water supply. Although the analysis indicates the current supply is not sufficient to meet approved demand, this project may be approved by conditioning its approval on the following mitigation measures that must be completed prior to issuance of building permits. Therefore, approval of the final map of Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598 shall be conditioned such that the developer will be required to dedicate a standard City well site and agree to construct, by a secured agreement, a standard City well, including wellhead treatment facilities. The well shall be fully operational prior to occupancy of the development. The completed City well shall produce a minimum water supply of 1,000 gallons per minute, or twice this project's peak demand, whichever is greater. A secured agreement is defined as an agreement executed by the developer in Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 4 which he/she agrees to construct a water well by a specified date corresponding to the time of occupancy and has posted a security to guarantee its completion. The water well site shall be of a size and at a location satisfactory to the Water Systems Manager. Furthermore, because of the possibility of groundwater contamination, which may require wellhead treatment, larger sites are now being required to be able to accommodate the wellhead treatment, should it be required. .The Water-'Division has determined that a one-hundred (100) by one hundred twenty (120) foot area represents the minimum preferred area needed to install the well, wellhead treatment facilities and landscaping. The rectangular site shall enclose a minimum of twelve thousand (12,000) square feet and be a minimum of one hundred (100) feet wide. The proposed well site must.also provide access as required by the Development Department in addition to the minimum enclosed area. This requirement may be waived upon dedication of a well site acceptable to the Public Utilities Director by adjacent development. Subject to the above-noted conditions and the other recommended conditions of approval, the site of Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598 may be provided with water service. 7.2--Noise Exposure The proposed subdivision will abut South Armstrong Avenue, a designated arterial street. The vehicular traffic which will ultimately utilize this street will generate a significant amount of traffic noise and may result in potentially dangerous traffic access situations for the single-family homes adjacent to this street. The traffic noise and access problem will be mitigated, however, by the recommended conditions of approval for the subdivision. The lots which will side-onto and .back-onto South Armstrong Avenue will incorporate a 6-foot solid wall or fence behind a 15-foot landscape strip into their design. The wall and landscape strip will not only prohibit direct access from these lots to South Armstrong Avenue but will also provide some noise relief to the inhabitants of the lots nearest this street. The landscape strip will also help to make the street more aesthetically pleasing in appearance. In addition, a 25-foot side-yard and 3.5-foot rear-yard building setback will be imposed on the lots which, respectively, side-onto and back-onto South Armstrong Avenue. The subdivision also proposes lots which will front-onto East Butler Avenue, which is currently designated as a collector street on the Roosevelt Community Plan. Section 2-2.8 of the Roosevelt Community i Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 5 Plan states that new single-family residential lots shall not be allowed to front-onto a major street unless no feasible alternative can be provided. It is noted, however, that East Butler Avenue is designated as a collector street only between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues. West of Armstrong Avenue it is designated as a local street with lots fronting onto the street. Furthermore, since Butler Avenue will be developed with only a 60-foot width between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues instead of the normal 94-foot collector street width, staff can support the creation of lots which front-onto Butler Avenue even through it is currently designated as a collector street. In addition, the Development Department has initiated a plan amendment to reclassify Butler Avenue between Armstrong and Temperance Avenues from a collector to a local street and at the same time reclassify Hamilton Avenue, between Fowler and Temperance Avenues, from a local to a collector street. Therefore, based upon the above analysis, the project may propose lots which front-onto Butler Avenue. It is also noted that the lots fronting onto Butler Avenue will be required to have a 40-foot front yard building setback in order to allow sufficient area for a circular driveway on these lots. A circular driveway allows vehicles to access directly onto Butler Avenue, rather than having to back-onto this currently proposed collector street. 10 Generation of vehicle traffic sufficient to cause cauabity deficiencies on existing street system. The Roosevelt Community Plan designates the site for medium-low density residential uses. The Public Works Department Traffic Engineer advises that the proposed 195-lot, 45.9-acre, R-1 zoned project would generate approximately 1950 vehicle trips per day (VTD) and that South Armstrong Avenue will ultimately have a capacity of 24,300 VTD. The available capacity on the nearby major street, together with the conditions of approval for Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4598, will provide for adequate circulation for traffic generated by this tract. This project is subject to the traffic circulation "finding procedure" to verify the availability of adequate public street capacity as required by EIR No. 10113 for the Roosevelt Community Plan area. As described above, the Public Works Department has conducted a separate traffic review and has incorporated all recommended conditions of approval that are feasible into the project as verified by the City Traffic Engineer. However, this Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 6 project will contribute to the cumulative increase in traffic in the Roosevelt Plan area. In addition, buildout of the Roosevelt Plan area may adversely impact planned roadway capacities and increases in planned roadway capacity throughout the area may be required. 10.2-- umulativP Tnrroacn +n V hi Traffir Uereccitatinn Traffin Study The California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), in response to Ciky staff's request for comments on this project, have required that .a traffic study be required for this project and that the traffic study be completed as part of the project approval process. The traffic study is needed, according to CALTRANS, in order to assess the project's impact on State-Route 180 and the State Route 180 alignment, and additionally to determine the project's pro rata responsibility for area-wide circulation improvements. It is the City's position that these area-wide circulation issues were addressed in the recently-adopted Environmental Impact Report for the Roosevelt Community Plan (EIR No. 10113). The EIR addressed the effect of development in the Roosevelt Plan Area on State Route 180. Additionally, since the subject site is currently planned.for urban development on the Roosevelt Community Plan, the EIR allowed for the proposed residential development of the subject site and addressed the future traffic to be generated by the residential development of the subject site, and its effects on the surrounding'-circulation system. Therefore, staff has determined that the issues which CALTRANS identified as necessitating the requirement for a traffic study have been ;addressed by Environmental Impact Report No. 10113, which was adopted along with the update of the Roosevelt Community Plan and that subject to the mitigation measures noted in this document, adequate circulation will be provided for traffic generated by this project. 11,1--Fire protection The subdivision site will be served by the future City Fire Station No. 15 which will be located at South Clovis and East Butler Avenues. The nearest operational City fire station, City Fire Station No. 8, is located on South Cedar Avenue south of East Butler Avenue. City Fire Station No. 8, however, is located over 4.5 miles from this project site. The Fresno City Fire Department advises that under the mutual aide agreement between the City of Fres-no and the County of Fresno, Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 7 Mid-Valley Fire Station No. 8, located on East Tulare Avenue west of Minnewawa Avenue, will provide interim fire protection service for this site. Mid-Valley Fire Station No. 8, however, is located over 3 miles from this project site. Section 12-4.508-E of the Fresno Municipal Code requires that for residential developments located between the 3 and 4 mile running distance from an existing and operating fire station, there shall be a 100-foot separation between buildings, or a 50-foot separation between buildings, where all roofing materials are noncombustible, and all facing surfaces between buildings are noncombustible. Alternatively, for residential developments located between the 3 and 5 mile running distance, the 100-foot and 50-foot separation requirement may be waived witH the installation of automatic fire extinguishing systems, as approved by the Fire Chief, in all buildings within the project area. 11.4--Overcrowding of School Facilities The site is located within the enrollment area of the Sanger Unified School District. The District has addressed the problem of overcrowding, which exists particularly at Sanger High School, through the assessment of development fees to construct school facilities. The development fee, which was established on July 1, 1987, assesses fees on all residential, commercial and industrial developments. Any long-term solution to the overcrowding problem must occur as a result of district-wide and community-wide action. Although "this project may contribute to an increase in school overcrowding, the collection of development fees should help to insure that the overcrowding problem is mitigated for this particular tract. 11.6--Availability of Sewer Lines of Adequate Cavacity This project is subject to the sewer service "finding procedure" to verify the availability of adequate sewer service as required by EIR No. 10113 for the Roosevelt Community .Plan area. A sewer availability analysis was completed for this project and it has been determined by the Public Works Department that there will be adequate sewer capacity in the Fowler Trunk line to serve the project. The City of Fresno's Wastewater Treatment Plant, with an estimated hydraulic treatment capacity of 60 million gallons of effluent per day (mgd) average dry weather flow, is currently treating between 53 and 55 mgd on a yearly basis with some daily total flows of 60 mgd. The treatment plant is approaching its overall design Initial Study EA No. T-4598, R-93-10 Page 8 capacity. This project, as proposed, will cumulatively contribute to the short-term reduction of capacity at the plant. In order to address this situation and to reduce the chance of eventual curtailments in the City's development process, the City has initiated proceedings to expand the plant's capacity by 20 mgd. The City has hired design consultants and is currently conducting an Environmental Impact Report on the proposed expansion. The City will be establishing an area wide major public facilities fee and has continued to work with monitoring agencies to insure the timeliness of planned improvements. However,-it must be noted that capacity for new development will be reserved only on a first come, first'serve basis and not all approved development is guaranteed sewer capacity pending the successful completion of the plant's expansion. It is estimated that there is sufficient capacity remaining to accommodate development until the anticipated completion of the phased expansion. FINDING FOR MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Based upon the information received from various public agencies and based upon the information available in the public record, there is no substantial evidence to indicate that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment and a negative declaration is appropriate. However, there are certain specified conditions to the issuance of this Negative Declaration, therefore, this environmental finding shall be considered a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The mitigation measures which are the conditions to the issuance of the Negative Declaration shall be monitored in accordance with the attached monitoring checklist for Environmental Assessment No. T-4598, R-93-10.
