ENVIRONMENTAL FINDING
The initial study prepared for Environmental Assessment No. R-04-16/T-5287 considered potential environmental
impacts associated with the subject rezoning and subdivision map request. The study indicates that the project,
if approved, would conform to the land use designation and land use policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan
and is within the scope of Master Environmental Impact Report No. 10130. Therefore, staff has issued a finding
that the project proposal is in conformance to the 2025 Fresno General Plan Master Environmental Impact Report
(MEIR No. 10130) dated April 1, 2004, which incorporates a MEIR Mitigation Monitoring Checklist. This
environmental finding was properly noticed with no comments filed within the 20-day review and comment period.
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS
The applicant, SummitHill Development LLC, has filed Rezone Application No. R-04-16 and Tentative Tract Map
No. 5287/UGM for 42 acres of property located on the southwest corner of South Maple and East Church
Avenues. The rezone application is requesting a zone change from the T-P/UGM(Trailer Park Residential/Urban
Growth Management) and R-A/UGM (Single Family Residential-Agricultural/Urban Growth Management)zone
district to the R-1/UGM (Single Family Residential/Urban Growth Management) zone district. Tentative Tract
Map No. 5287/UGM is proposing to subdivide the subject property into 201 single family residential lots to be
developed at a density of 4.8 units per acre.

On November 19, 2002, the City Council, through Resolution No. 2002-379, adopted the 2025 Fresno General
Plan which updated the Roosevelt Community Plan. The updated Community Plan designates the subject
property for medium density residential land uses. The applicant wishes to pursue development of the subject
property with 201 single family homes. The requested R-1/UGM zone district conforms to the medium density
residential land use designation as indicated by the 2025 Fresno General Plan's "Planned Land Use and Zone
District Consistency Matrix."
Surrounding land uses are generally characterized by single family residential development. Calwa Park is to
the north of the site and there is commercial development on the southeast corner of Maple and Church Avenues.
Access to the subject site will be from South Maple and East Church Avenues, which are designated collector
streets. The traffic generated by this project can be accommodated by the planned circulation system with street
improvements completed by the project as required by development standards, Urban Growth Management
(UGM) Service Delivery policies and environment impact mitigation measures. Sewer and water infrastructure
availability and service demands have been verified by the Department of Public Utilities with required facilities
to be located in South Maple and East Church Avenues.
Roosevelt Community Plan Advisory Committee
The Roosevelt Community Plan Advisory Committee reviewed and recommended approval of Rezone Application
No. R-04-16 and Tentative Tract Map No. T-5287/UGM on March 8, 2004, by a vote of 8 to 0.
Major Street Improvements
The 2025 Fresno General Plan designates South Maple and East Church Avenues as collector streets with an
80-foot right-of-way. Improvements include the construction of curb,gutter,sidewalk,and transition paving within
the limits of the tract; construction of an underground street lighting system; and relinquishment of access rights
to South Maple and East Church Avenues from all residential lots adjacent to these major street frontages.
These street improvements are outlined in more detail in the Tentative Tract Map No. 5287/UGM Conditions of
Approval dated May 19, 2004.
Subdivision Design-Streets and Access Points
This subdivision is proposed to have one access point to East Church Avenue and two access points to South
Maple Avenue. The subdivision does not propose any street access to the existing single family residential
development to the south and west. In addition, the subdivision design proposes double frontage lots backing
onto the adjacent local streets(Grove and Barton Avenues),which would necessitate the construction of a 6-foot
high masonry wall along these street frontages. This design proposal would virtually separate the proposed
project from the existing developments to the south and west.
This proposed design conflicts with the following objectives and policies of the 2025 Fresno General Plan which
encourage the unification of neighborhoods.
1. Objective C-15 is to provide infill opportunities that will revitalize the built-up urban core communities and
neighborhoods of Fresno, provide residential development for a diverse population, and improve the
overall quality of the urban environment.
2. Objective C-20 states that major emphasis will be given to site and building design in order to preserve
functionality and community aesthetics.
REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Rezone Application No. R-04-16
-Tentative Tract Map No. T-5287/UGM
y May 19, 2004

3. Policy C-20-e states that development projects shall include aesthetic measures which support
functionality and add to the appearance and livability of the community.
The intent of the General Plan is to unify, preserve and revitalize neighborhoods. This proposal would potentially
serve to separate neighborhoods and could set a precedent for future developments.
It is staff's position that a design including lots fronting onto these adjacent local streets would be preferable.
This design would better integrate the project with the adjacent existing single family residential developments.
In addition, staff recommends a design alternative that would allow for one or more street connections between
the proposed project and the adjacent developments to further integrate the project with the adjacent
development.
As a result, staff recommends as a condition of approval of this project that the project be redesigned as
described above, and then re-submitted to staff for review.
Water Resources and Public Water Supply -
The nearest presently available water service lines are located in South Maple and East Church Avenues
adjacent to the site. It has been determined that there is an adequate source of water available to serve the
project with the implementation of UGM service delivery requirements and environmental impact mitigation
measures.
The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (FMFCD) has indicated that this project can be entirely
accommodated by the district and temporary facilities will not be required. The developer will be required to
construct FMFCD "Master Plan Facilities" as determined by the district.
Implementation of the 2025 Fresno General Plan policies, mitigation measures of Master Environmental Impact
Report No. 10130,the Water Resources Management Plan,and the mitigation measures identified by the project
environmental assessment/initial study will provide an adequate, reliable, and sustainable water supply for the
project's urban domestic and public safety consumptive purposes.
Sewage Collection System Capacity
Several major facility improvement projects have been implemented at the City of Fresno's Regional Wastewater
Treatment and Reclamation Facility in order to accommodate the projected rates of population and employment
growth up to a projected population holding capacity of 590,000 people. These improvements have been
completed to provide an expanded wastewater treatment and reclamation capacity of 80 million gallons per'day
(MGD)which is sufficient to accommodate continued planned urban development including the proposed project.
It has been determined by Public Utilities Department staff that adequate sanitary sewer service is available to
serve the project. The nearest public sanitary sewer mains to serve this project are located in South Maple and
East Church Avenues adjacent to the project.
Landscaping/Walls
Given that the proposed subdivision abuts planned collector streets, the developer will be required to install 10
feet of landscaping along South Maple and East Church Avenues. In addition, the applicant will be required to
install a solid wall at the rear of the required landscape setbacks which will mitigate the adverse effect of noise
generated by vehicles traveling on the adjacent major streets.
f. REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION
ezone Application No. R-04-16
Tentative Tract Map No. T-5287/UGM
AMay 19, 2004
. : Page 5
As noted above,the current design proposes double frontage lots along Barton and Grove Avenues which would
necessitate 10 feet of landscaping and a solid wall at the rear of these lots. Staff is recommending that this
portion of the subdivision be redesigned to eliminate these double frontage lots.
Open Space
The developer will be required to provide at least five percent of the total project area for public or private
common open space per Roosevelt Community Plan Policy No. 1-17.3. Alternatively, an equivalent amount of
area may be provided in conjunction with approved public or quasi-public open space within one-quarter mile of
this development. The required landscape setbacks along Maple and Church Avenues will apply toward the
above-noted five percent open space requirement for this project.
Historical Resource
There is at least one pre-1954 home with related outbuildings on the subject property, that is proposed to be
removed as part of this project. The 2025 Fresno General Plan Policy No. G-1 1-c states that prior to issuance
of a formal demolition order by the City involving structures over 50 years old, potential Local Register listing
shall be reviewed by historic preservation staff and if necessary, by the Historic Preservation Commission.
It is staff's policy to require the applicant to hire a professional consultant to produce a historic survey of the
project area, when there is a potential historic resource on site. As a result, a condition will be placed on the
tentative map requiring the developer to complete a historic survey on the subject property to be submitted for
review and approval by historic preservation staff prior to the demolition of any structures on the subject site.
Tentative Tract Map 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
2025 General Plan (there is not an applicable specific plan), because the Roosevelt 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 ensure adequate access and drainage on and off the site.
3. The proposed subdivision design and improvement is 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 ensure 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, 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 Tentative Tract Map No. 5287/UGM dated May 19, 2004,
and the Conditions of Approval for T-5287/UGM dated May 19, 2004, which includes a requirement to
redesign the southerly and westerly portions of the subdivision as discussed above.
Action by the Planning Commission regarding the rezone application will be a recommendation to the City
Council. Planning Commission action on the proposed tentative tract map, unless appealed to the Council, is
final.
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 6, Office of Intergovernmental Relations has
asserted that new development within the Roosevelt Community Plan contributes a substantial number of
additional vehicle trips during the peak hour traffic periods (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m .to 6:00 p.m.)
which will impact the State Route (SR) 99 interchange at Jensen Avenue. Caltrans estimates that this
development could generate approximately 60 vehicle trips to this interchange during evening peak travel times.
It is noted that the model run prepared by VRPA Technologies concluded that there would be only 9 vehicle trips
to the Jensen/Freeway 99 interchange during afternoon peak periods. It is recommended by Caltrans that this
project contribute its proportional share for improvements to the affected interchange.
Although the proposed project will marginally contribute to the peak capacity deficiencies of the freeway system,
major freeway improvements are the responsibility of Caltrans and any fee related assessments imposed by
Caltrans must comply with applicable legal parameters. The city has not recommended that this state fadility
traffic impact fee be imposed as a condition of project approval, as it is not evident that Caltrans has accurately
documented a project description and cost, a reliable estimate of funding sources, a justifiable nexus or
connection between the project and the need for the state facility improvements, and the reasonable
proportionality of the project's share of the improvement costs that are necessary to justify the imposition of a
traffic impact fee for the improvement of State facilities. This conclusion is based upon Caltrans submission of
varying descriptions of the necessary freeway improvements, the imprecise estimate of costs and probable
funding sources, and the lack of adequate information to comply with Fee Mitigation Act requirements(California
Government Code§§66000 et sequentes)applicable to the City of Fresno. In the absence of this documentation
it is not legally permissible for the City to impose the requested traffic impact fee.
An appropriate, reasonable and legally permissible method of addressing capacity deficiencies has been
presented to Caltrans for consideration. This method utilizes the master storm water drainage facility planning

and fee program established by the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control Agency as a model. Using this model,
Caltrans is responsible for providing a master facilities plan, development fee schedule and assurances of
compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements (Mitigation Fee Act-AB 1600)which apply to the City
of Fresno. Should Caltrans develop a master facilities plan and development impact fee program consistent with
this model, it will be applied to any final tract map or other applicable development entitlement for this project.
It is also noted that the City of Fresno's staff has met with Caltrans representatives to review citywide impacts
on State facilities; the CEQA process; and the legal requirements for determining the nexus (demonstration of
the direct relationship between the project and the potential impact)and the proportionality(fair share contribution
towards mitigating the impact)required by State law. While the Caltrans'representatives have previously assured
the City that Caltrans legal staff would provide evidence of compliance with State statutes, no response has been
received to date by the City of Fresno.
However, in response to these discussions, a partnership in planning grant was obtained through which the City
of Fresno and Caltrans will participate with other jurisdictions to complete a freeway deficiency study. This study
will detail the traffic impacts anticipated to occur to freeway facilities within the greater Fresno-Madera-Clovis
Metropolitan Area. This study will focus upon facilities identified to be most impacted by the projected increases
in traffic; identification of the sources of the vehicle traffic within the greater metropolitan area; and'the
improvements necessary to provide adequate vehicular capacity. Findings from this study may allow
proportionate traffic impact fees to be legally implemented by the cities of Fresno and Clovis as well as the
County of Fresno upon adoption by the respective jurisdictions.

FLOOD PLAIN POLICY
r
Primary Flood Plains
Because of the relatively high velocities and volumes of flood flow associated with primary flood
plains, and because the primary flood plain is responsible for passing the greatest percentage.of the
flood event,development located in such flood plains is subject to substantial risk,both to itself and
to others as a result of the potential for blockage and diversion of flood waters. In view of these
factors, the following policy statement is proposed:
Policy 1) All proposed development activity shall be the subject of a detailed
hydrological flood hazard investigation to determine the relationship of the
proposed development to the secondary flood plain and the primary flood
plain; and,further,to identify the estimated high water elevation of the 100-
year flood event.
2) All development and/or permanent improvement activity which, if located
within the primary floodway, may unduly impede, retard, or change the
direction of flow of water either,by itself, or by the catching or collecting of
other debris or is placed where the flow of water would carry such
obstruction downstream to the damage or detriment of either life or property,
should not be permitted.
Secondary Flood Plains
Because development within secondary flood plains is subject to inundation,but without the threat of
increased velocities of flood waters,and because the excessive development of the secondary flood
plain can result in increased water surface elevations through displacement of flood waters, the
following policy statement is suggested:
Policy 1) Development in secondary flood plains is generally acceptable when a
detailed hydrological flood hazard investigation report had been prepared
indicating that the area proposed for development is located within a
secondary as opposed to a primary flood plain.
2) The development must be properly flood proofed below the estimated high
water elevation of the 100-year flood event.
3) The development is accomplished is such a way as to prohibit the
displacement of any and all flood waters from that portion of the flood plain
to be developed.
