R-00-046 PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROJECT: A 53-lot single-family residential subdivision project with.two outlots to be rezoned from AE-5/UGM to R-l/UGM. The subdivision will be developed at a density of 4 units per acre on a 12.8 acre site. APPLICANT: National Farm Workers Service Center,Inc. (Engineer: R.W. Greenwood Associates,Inc.) LOCATION: On the northeast corner of North Cornelia and West Dakota Avenues. SITE SIZE: Approximately 12.8 acres EXISTING PLAN AND Fresno-Roeding Community Plan LAND USE DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential EXISTING ZONING: AE-5/LJGM(Exclusive Five Acre Agricultural) PROPOSED ZONING: R-1/LJGM(Single-Family Residential) E•NVIRONM[EN.T-All-:.FlN,D-—NGS-- _ --- Staff analysis of the project resulted in the filing of a Mitigated Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. T-4983,R-00-046 (attached). BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS The Fresno High-Roeding Community Plan designates medium density residential land uses as appropriate for the property. The Plan shows property to the south, north, and east as planned for medium density residential land use. The property to the west is designated for public facility(high school) land use. Surrounding land uses included vacant or rural residential uses and a church all zoned AE-5/UGM to the east. To the south is property within Fresno County zoned AL-20 and developed with rural residential uses. The area to the north is developed with rural residential and single-family residential uses, zoned AE-5/UGM and R-1/UGM. The area to the west is zoned AE-5/UGM and developed with a public high school. The proposed single-family residential subdivision is considered to.be consistent with the medium density residential land use designation of the Fresno High-Roeding Community Plan. } REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION VTT4983/UGM, R-00-046 Page 2 February 7,2001 Rezoning Application No. R-00-046 Rezoning Application No. R-00-046 proposes to rezone the 12.8 acre subdivision site from AE-5/UGM to the R-1/UGM zone district to permit the development of the property with 53 single4amily 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 equal or exceed the minimum lot.size requirement. The Project is located in the City's Urban Growth Management Area(UGM) The proposed density yield of this:single-family subdivision(4 units per acre) is within the allowed density range for an R-1 zoned project. Based upon the information contained in the staff report, the proposed rezoning of the subdivision to the R-1/UGM zone district, subject to Section 12403-B of the Fresno Municipal Code, can be considered consistent and compatible with existing and planned land uses in the area. Staff recommends its approval. Action by the Planning Commission on the rezoning application is a recommendation to the City Council. All proposed zone district amendments require final action by the Council. Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4983/UGM Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4983/UGM is a redesign and refiling of Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4243,which was approved by the Planning Commission on May 1, 1991 but expired. The original redesign of the subdivision proposed to create three residential lots which would front onto West Dakota Avenue, a major street. Because this design was not consistent with the policies of the Bullard Community Plan, the subdivision has been redesigned to remove the major street front-on situation. In addition, several of the proposed lots did not meet the minimum standards of the R-1 zone district. In order to correct this problem, the redesign changed the street width from 54 feet to 50 feet for the majority of the internal streets. The proposed redesigned subdivision now proposes that all lots will meet the minimum standards of the R-1 zone district and is consistent with the plans and policies of the Fresno General Plan and the Fresno High-Roeding Community Plan. Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4983/UGM is located within the City's Urban Growth Management (UGM) area. Approval of the project will be in conformance with the requirements as set forth in the City's UGM Service Delivery Plan. A Service Delivery Analysis was completed with respect to police, fire, water, sewer, park and street- related services. The requirements of the UGM Service Delivery Plan are incorporated into the conditions of project approval. r REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION VTT-4983/UGM, R-00-046 Page 3 February 7, 2001 Required Sidewalks—The public street cross section of Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4974 is proposed to be developed with an interior local street having a right-of-way width of 50 feet and 54 feet as permitted under Alternate Public Works Standards API-1 and 2. Installation of sidewalks will be required on both sides of the public streets throughout this tentative map. The West Area Citizen Advisory Committee has reviewed the proposed tentative map and.rezoning request and is recommending approval of the project subject to the future West Area policies. The subdivision map, based ofi•the required findings for approval and subject to the recommended conditions of approval and the Fresno High-Roeding Community Plan, complies with applicable zoning, subdivision, and UGM requirements. Therefore, staff recommends approval. Action by the Planning Commission on the tract map,unless appealed to the City Council, is final. FINDINGS 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 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 Fresno High-Roeding Community Plan designates the site for Medium Density Residential land uses and subject to Section 12-403-B of the Fresno Municipal Code,the project design meets the density and zoning ordinance criteria for development in this plan designation. 2. This site is physically suitable for the proposed type and density of development, because conditions of approval will insure adequate access and drainage on and off the site. 3. The proposed subdivision design and improvement 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 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. - REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION VTT-4983/UGM, R-00-046 Page 4 February 7, 2001 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 tp the recommended conditions of approval, complies with the design and property development standards of the Zoning Ordinance and local Subdivision Ordinance. Based upon the plans and information submitted by the applicant and the recommended conditions of project approval,staff has determined that these findings can be made. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. Development shall take place in accordance with Exhibit A dated January 31, 2001. 2. Development shall take place in accordance with the Conditions of Approval for Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4983/UGM dated February 7, 2001. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the information and required findings in the staff report, staff recommends that the Planning -Commission take the fohlowing action: - - 1. APPROVE the Negative Declaration for Environmental Assessment No. T-4983, R-00-046. 2.

KLISCH, City Clerk family residential subdivision with one outlot to be rezoned from the 2nd Floor - City Hall AE-5/1JGM to the R-1/UGM zone district located on 12.8 acres on the 2600 Fresno Street northeast corner of North Cornelia and West Dakota Avenues. Fresno, California 93721-3603 The proposed project has been evaluated with respect to*each. item on the attached environmental checklist. 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 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 effect 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-tis. ot Considered.substantial.in itself..-- _n 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 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 12-505 of the Fresno Munic' al Code. INITIAL STUDY PREPARED BY: UZBtN ED BY: owl I Robert Lewis, Planner III DATE: January 17, 2001 A Xager CH PlanningM MND _ 1 January 17, 2001 INITIAL STUDY Environmental Assessment No. T-4983,R-00-046 Project Description: Vesting Tentative Tract No. 4983/UGM would provide for the development of a 58-lot single-family residential subdivision, on approximately 12.8 acres located on the northeast corner of North Cornelia and West Dakota Avenues. The subdivision will be developed at a density of approximately 4.5 units per acre. Rezoning Application No: R-00-046 proposes to rezone the entire subdivision site from the AE-5/UGM zone district to the R-1/UGM zone district. ANALYSIS The Bullard Community Plan, a refinement of the 1984 Fresno General Plan, designates the subdivision site for medium density residential(4.99 to 10.37 units per acre) land uses. The plan designates the property to the north, south,and east for medium density residential land uses. The plan designates the property to the east for public facilities/high school. The proposed single-family residential subdivision, to be developed at a density of 4.5 units per acre under the R-1 zone district,subject to Section 12-405-B of the Fresno Municipal Code, is considered to be consistent with the medium density residential land use designation of the Bullard Community Plan. Bordering Property Information: Planned Land use Existing Zoning Existing Use North: Medium Density AE-5/UGM Rural Residential Residential South: Medium Density Rural Residential Residential East: Medium-Low Density AE-5/UGM Church and Residential Residential West: Public Facilities/ AE-5/UGM High School High School Initial Study Environmental Assessment No. T-4983, R-00-046 Page 2 January 17, 2001 Staff has reviewed the above-referenced project 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: 1.0--TOPOGRAPHIC, SOIL GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS There are no geologic hazards or unstable soil conditions known to exist on the site. Existing topography will be preserved to the fullest extent practicable by limiting earthwork to that which is necessary for the development of building sites and improvements(roads,utilities,etc.) Grade differentials at property lines must be limited to one foot or.less or a cross-drainage covenant must be executed with affected adjoining property owners. 2.0--AIR QUALITY 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 considered significant. The project site is located in Fresno County which, in addition to the rest of the San Joaquin Valley,has consistently exceeded State and Federal ozone and PM-10 standards. It is a nonattainment area for ozone and particulate matter and,within the Fresno-Clovis Metropolitan Area,a nonattainment area for carbon monoxide. Therefore, it is necessary for all projects to analyze,quantify and mitigate short term :�on�+rl.�ct�on-ianpac�=ar air qualft�, .._: _ It is required that watering of the project site occur at least twice daily with complete coverage during the clearing, grading and earth moving phases of the project to cut down substantially on PM-10 emissions. To mitigate fugitive dust emissions during project construction,the following measures are required: 1. On-site vehicle speed shall be limited to 15 mph; 2. All areas with vehicle traffic shall be watered periodically; 3. Roads shall be treated with a petroleum-based dust palliative; 4. Streets adjacent to the project site shall be swept as needed to remove silt, which may have accumulated from construction activities so as to prevent excessive amounts of dust. Ozone emissions will be mitigated during construction by the following measures: Initial Study Environmental Assessment No.T-4983, R-00-.046 Page 3 {,. January 17, 2001 1. Equipment engines shall be maintained in good condition and proper tune per manufacturer's specifications; 2. From August to October, the construction,period shall be lengthened so as to minimize the number of vehicles and equipment operating at the same time. The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(SJVUAPCD), charged with monitoring and improving local air quality,has developed the San Joaquin.Valley 1991 California Clean Air Act Air Quality Attainment Plan(AQAP),which continues to project nonattainment for the three above-noted pollutants. The 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" transportation improvements, implementation of air quality sensitive community planning,computerization of all of the City's traffic signals,and improvements to the City's transit system. 2.4--Generation of Construction Dust Construction of the 12-lot single-family dwellings will contribute to short-term impacts on air quality in the form of increased dust and particulate matter. However,these impacts are local.in nature and vdll-tease u a •c:am construction phase of the project will be subject to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(SJVUAPCD) Regulation VIII, Rule 8020, related to control of dust and fine particulate matter(PM 10). This rule mandates the implementation of dust control measures such as cleaning,sprinkling and sweeping of all construction sites to reduce the potential for dust to the lowest possible level 3.0--WATER The Water Division of the Public Works Department states that the development will not have an adverse impact on the city water system. 'T 4.0--PLANT LIFE 5.0--ANIMAL LIFE There are no native plants or significant,wildlife populations on the project site. The Initial Study Environmental Assessment No. T-4983,.R-00-046 Page 4 January 17, 2001 extensive landscaping proposed on the site will provide habitat for certain species of birds and small animals suited for an urban environment. 6.0--HUMAN HEALTH Aside from temporary dust generation during construction,the project is not expected to have any other impacts on human health. 7.0--NOISE t 7.2:Noise Exposure ' A portion of the subdivision will abut North Cornelia and West Dakota Avenues, designated "Collector" streets.The vehicular traffic which will ultimately utilize these 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 the streets. The traffic noise and access problem at this street will be mitigated, however,by the recommended conditions of approval for the subdivision. The lots which will back onto or side-onto this streets 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 these streets but will also provide some noise relief to the inhabitants of the lots nearest these streets. The landscape strip will also help to make the street more aesthetically pleasing in appearance. 8.0--LIGHT AND GLARE The proposed project will not have any adverse environmental effect in the category and any such effect is not substantially unusual or of undesirable magnitued 9.0--LAND USE o The proposed R-1 zoning and the 58-lot single-family residential subdivision is consistent with the medium-low density residential land use designation of the site. The subdivision design, however, proposes to develop this site with three residential lots which front on to West Dakota Avenue, a major street (major highway). The Bullard Community Plan Policy No. 4.1.3-6 provides that new-single family residential lots shall not be allowed to front on a major street, unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated that no feasible alternative means of access can be provided to the property. Evaluation of alternative means of access shall include the consideration of Initial Study Environmental Assessment.No. T-4983,R-00-046 Page 5 January 17, 2001 frontage roads,backup treatment,and substantial redesign of the subdivision proposal. This site has been previously approved with a design which has no lots fronting onto the major streets and can be redesign to correct the inconsistancy. Additionally,approximately 6 of the propose lots do not meet the minimum standards of the R-1 zone district. The Fresno City Planning Commission would only be allow to approved two lots with minor deviations. In order for this subdivision to be consistent with the General Plan and any specific plan, and the Fresnof Municipal Code the conditions of approval will require a redesign to eliminate the sub-standard lots and the lots fronting onto the major street. 10.0—TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION The 58-lot single-family residential subdivision is expected to generate approximately 580 vehicle trips per day(V.T.D.). North Cornelia and West Dakota Avenues,collector streets, have an ultimate capacity of 2.1,500 V.T.D. each. Although those streets have not reached capacity to date,the level of expected development in the area will not create deficiencies in the future. 11.0--URBAN SERVICES 11.4--Overcrowding of school facilities -The subject site=is within'ae etuolhnen ai° u 'rYi Centrri=Utiifi'ed`School District. - -. Because of the rapid growth occurring within the district boundaries,the school district has advised that the following conditions may exist when development occurs: a. The elementary school may not have capacity for students frorri the area and, therefore, students may be bused to other elementary schools within the District, or it may result in the adjustment of school attendance areas within the District, requiring students to attend another school; • . b. The students may attend more than one elementary school during their elementary school years; C. The students may have to attend elementary,junior high and high schools that are on double session, extended day, or year-round schedules, or students may attend new facilities when they are constructed. Initial Study Environmental Assessment No. T-4983, R-00-046 Page 6 . January 17, 2001 The district has adopted developer fees in accordance with current state law, which will require the developer of this,project to pay a fee for school facilities per the adopted schedule of fees. In addition,the District has requested that the owner/subdivider provide the above information to all prospective purchasers of property within the proposed project. 11.6--Availability of sewer lines of adequate capacity The City of Fresno's Wastewater Treatment Plant,with an estimated hydraulic treatment capacity cif 80 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 80 mgd. The treatment plant is approaching its overall design 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 is in the process of expanding the plant's capacity to 90 MGD. The development is not expected to have any adverse impacts on the availability of fire protection,emergency vehicle access,crime prevention design or school facilities. 11.7--Availability of storm water drainage facilities on or off site In order to avoid or reduce the discharge of pollutants into the storm water sewer system,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires that a Notice of Intent for a w�, _ _T.•.,.� --r-- gener-al•hlatianal-Poflutant Discharge Elimination=SysLem perniit-be-figen nor a va cty off`-"'- -industrial uses and for any construction site of 5 or more acres of land. The property owner of this development site has been informed of that requirement and of-his,and any business owner's,responsibility to ensure that the Notice of Intent is filed in accordance with the regulations published in Volume 55, No. 222 of the Federal Register. , 12.0--HAZARDS Some hazard may be associated with the use of construction equipment but this is not expected to be significant and will be mitigated by a surrounding construction fence. 13.0--AESTHETICS No public or scenic vista will be obstructed by the development and no valuable vegetation will be removed. The developer proposes to use an architectural design Initial Study Environmental Assessment No. T-4983, R-00-046 Page l January 17, 2001 which is compatible with surrounding developments. 14.0--HISTORICAL/ARCHAEOLOGICAL There are no adjacent historical,or archaeological sites. To ensure that any possible F sites will be protected,the following conditions have been added to this special permit approval: 1. If archaeological and/or animal fossil material is encountered during project'surveying, grading, excavating, or construction, work shall stop immediately. 2. If there are suspected human remains,the Fresno County Coroner shall be immediately contacted. If the remains or other archaeological material is possibly Native American in origin, the Native American Heritage Commission shall be immediately contacted, and the California Archaeological Inventory/Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center shall be contacted to obtain a referral list of recognized archaeologists: •An archaeological assessment shall be conducted for the project,the site shall be formally recorded,and recommendations made to the City as to any further site investigation or site avoidance/preservation 3. If animal fossils are uncovered,the Museum of Paleontology, U.C. -Berkeley sl ap be Lo �acc i`�i�= t�ia r a`cefeitvai'l st of-tecogiuzezl paleontologists. An assessment shall be conducted by a paleontologist and, if the paleontologist determines the material to be significant, it shall be preserved. 15.0--ENERGY Excessive energy consumption is not expected to occur with occupancy of the development. 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. This is because the mitigation z., Initial Study Environmental Assessment No. T-4983, R-00-046 Page 8 January 17, 2001 measures required as conditions of project approval for the subject special permit, which have been added to the project as defined, are conditions upon which a negative declaration can be recommended.
